...bishop testified that the rector knew that church money had been embezzled; that he refused to prosecute. Furthermore it appeared that Rector Mook had discharged six choir singers, dissolved the Women's Auxiliary and the Daughters of the King-all because the women opposed him. But of most concern to the court and the Episcopal Church were the opinions of five of Bishop Huston's clergy. Unanimously they agreed that he had exceeded his canonical authority. Said Very Rev. John D. McLauchlan, dean of the Seattle Cathedral: "A bishop can't do anything without the consent...

S., Belding Heminway accounted for one-half the country's spool silk and no small share of its fabrics and hosiery. Nevertheless, Belding languished throughout the most florid years of the New Era.

...public can derive little cheer from this flurry of legal activity. That the courts of the country have finally taken up their ponderous grinding out of justice is grim consolation indeed. The public's money, its chief concern, is gone for good. Above all, there is no escaping the realization that an efficient system of state inspection would have mitigated many of the evils that have made the present trials a necessity. In many cases, although state laws required periodic bank examinations, inspectors were inefficient in their duties and the laws governing investment of deposits not stringent enough. This crisis...
