taken.

“Between clergy and laity is noth-
ing like a separation of caste. not
a difference in kind. but a distinction
of function." Bishop Brewster said
today. "The priesthood of the clergy
is NOT vicarious: it is representative
and instrumental. The Orders of the
Ministry are organs for special serv-
ice to discharge particular functions
on behalf of the body and in so
doing to represent and express the
priesthood which belongs to the

PRESIDENT DAN
O’NEII DIES AT
HOIYOKE nous

Eastern League Chief Suc-
cumbs To Diabetes—Pic-
turesque Figure In
Sporting World.

HOLYOKE, Mass. May 18.—
(AP). Dan O'Ncll, president of the
Eastcrn baseball league and mem-
ber of the national board of arbi-
tration dlcd here this morning at
4:40 am.

Diabetes is the reported cause of
his death.

President of the Eastern league
since 1916. Mr. O'Neil had been for
many years a. picturesque figure in
baseball politics and light harness
racing. He is credited with having
caused the writing of more rules in-
to the baseball books than any other
figure in the game. He moved up
to his national prominence from
player to captain. manager. owner.
and finally presidentof the league
he is credited svitli founding.

He was greatly admired for his
resourcefulness and tenacity. Once
In a desperate fight to win a pen-
nant for his club he forced the team
to play four games in one day. In
1907 he caused a furor in organiz-
ed baseball by Importing players
fronl Cuba.

Mr. O'Neil came from Ireland
with his parents in the '60‘s. and
shortly after moved from Union-
vllle. Conn., to‘ Holyoke, where his
interest in the game was born.
Fighting an uphill battle to the
ranks of the owners he became
president of the league in 1916 and
made it one of the most successful
Class A leagues in the country. Up
to July of i919 he was proprietor of
the Hotel Bushnell in Hartford, rc-
turnlng from that city to Holyoke,
lilacs. where he bought the Holyoke
club.

.Re was about 6‘ years old and is
survived. ‘by a rm, twir daughters.
and five sons.

Appetite—Baked Beans
a In Maine.

The patrol leaders' school of Nor.
walk council Boy Scouts of America,
held its usual monthly hike on the
scout reservation at Nod over Sat-
urday and Sunday. Seventeen boys
and several of the scout masters un-
der the leadership of L. K. Paul an
officer of the day. went up about
tub o'clock Saturday afternoon.

Immediately after the arrival at
camp the weather appeared to be
fixing for a storm and the pup tents
were hastily erected to shelter the
blankets and equipment in case of
wet weather. The precautions were
taken none too quickly for almost
immediately a heavy thunder storm
broke and the boys were obliged to
don their pouches to keep from get.
ting soaked.

They then went about their busi-
ness as usual and collected wood for
the fires and went about pre-
parations of the evening meal. In a
scout camp neither rain nor sun-
shine has much effect on lessening
the-appetites of the boys. so they go
about their preparations Just the
same in any kind of weather.

Among some of the preparations
carried out during the later after-
noon and esp-Ty evening wasfithe pre-
paring. of the main feature of the
next noon meal of beans baked after
the style of the‘ Maine hunting
guides. A pit about three feet in
diameter and about two and a half
feet in depth was dug in the ground
and lined with flat rocks all
across. the bottomyend half way up
the sides. A. large fire was built in
this pit and fed continuously for

PROHIBITION ’

WINS IN DEBATE

The arguments of the afllrmative
side in sn- interesting debate on
“Prohibition.’ in the Norwaik Meth-
odlst church last evening. convinced
the judges that prohibition has been
beneficial to the United States.

The debaters were six High school
boys who are members of the
Tompkins league of the church. For
the amrmative side were, Aaron
Aspblom. Chum Mitchell. and Henry
B. Plait. 0n the negative side were
Arthur Amrein. Charles Bitch and
Ernest Albin.

The judges were Rev. Frederick
H. Jacobs, Rev. Lester T. Mallory.
and Ellsworth C. Lockwood.

The chief argument on the ef-
flrmatlve side was the fact that sav-
ings accounts had greatly increased
since prohibition. Along with this
fact. is the claim that in many sec-
tions of the country. penal institu-
tions had been abandoned. and
poorho‘uses emptied.

 

i' here is less need‘irr‘helping the ~

po ." one boy said. Another 0
stated that “the men who wish t e
18th amendment repealed draw
their diets. from the wettest sections
of the United States. The desire
for repeal is not a general senti-
merit."
