. A Greek sailor entered the restaur~
out in Wall street about 4:30 o'clock
yesterday afternoon and curled a
large bundle. which he set beside his
table as Mr. Economides came to wait
upon him.
The bundle attracted the attention
at the restaurant owner and he was
info ed by the sailor that it con-
tain some very valuable cloth. He
chatted with Beonomides for a time
and told such a straightforward story
that he Impressed the local man.
Two other men. who had entered

taken out, examined it. They stated

The sailor offered some of, the
goods to Mr. Economides and. while
he was waiting on some other ous-
tomere. went to..the rear of the res-
taurant and sold a "section '0! the
goods and another package, suppos-
ed to contain the same goods to Mi-

Tovealed' that the unopened package
contained goods of an inferior type.
The sailor then returned to his ta~
'bicand sold several bundles of the
cloth to Mr. Economidcs for $75 and
left therestaurant. The other two
men had left the restaurant earlier.
After the'sallor had gone; Mr.
Economides opened his bundles and
discovered that they contained an
inferior type of goods.
The matter was reported to the
police but no record of any similar
ewindles in the city was made yes-
terday.
The description of the men given
to the police follows: One was live

about 200 pounds; the other was
about nve~feet. seven inches in

weighed about 180 pounds. The sail-

about 180 pounds.
This is not the first time that this

this city and to audiences he has

the spoke on 'fThe Anglican Reforma-

Dr. Gavin stressed the fact that the
English Reformation was no re-
garded as one event, but a. long
series of events extending over
more than a century. The conditions
under which the Reformation was
carried out, he said, were abnor-
mal. and for this reason normal re-
sults cannot be looked for. R

Rev. Shirley C. Hughson of. the

Is the Episcopal Church?" He trac-
ed the history at the English church
from the earliest 'Christian ages
down through the Reformation per»
led to the American Revolution. at
which time the Amortized Episcopal
church became a national organisa-
tion. with its bishops independent of

The attack on Bradley is said not
