Rv Tin Assnoltled Prnu) St. Louis, April 18. .Messages of condolence from clergy and laity in all parts of the world are pouring ln- to the residence here of Right Rev erend Daniel S. Tuttle, presiding bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States , who tiied yesterday afternoon after a lin gering illness induced by 'grippe. The funeral services Friday after noon at Chrst church will be simple in compliance with the request of relatives. Daniel Sylvester Tuttle, presiding Bi.shop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in America, was the oldest active Anglican Bishop in the world. Born in Windham, N. Y., Jan. 26, 1837, lie was the son of a blacksmith. A bishop since 1867, and head of the Missouri diocese since 18 86, Dan iel Tuttle received his elementary ed ucation in the rural schools about Windham and paid his way through Columbia University by tutoring sons of wealthy men of New York and was graduated from the General Theological Seminary, New York, in 1862. Four years later the young divine was elected the first missionary bish op of Utah, Montana and Idaho. Only 29 years old at the time, he bad to wait one year before being consecrated, as an ecclesiastical law makes 30 years the minimum age for a bishop. For nearly 20 years the bishop carried on "the work in the West, and "was considered one of the great fig ures in the pioneer life of that sec tion.. Over six feet tall, broad-shouldered and with a resounding voice, be was an example of stalwart Chris tianity. Dishop Tuttle did much travelling, wen In bis declining years, going to many sections of the country to con secrate bishops. In his 84th year he consecrated his 84th bishop the Rt. Rev. Frederick Ingley at- Denver. In April, 1869, when fire threat ened to destroy Helena, Mont., there were three leaders who fought the flames, organized bucket brigades, beld in check the lawless and for five hours did heroic work. They -were "Bitter Root Bill," a notorious desperado; "Gentle Joe," prominent gambler and Bishop Tuttle. In May, 1921, Bishop Tuttle made a journey retracing his first trip "West, 54 years before. On one occasion, while comment ing on the changes he observed since bis ordination in 1862, Bishop Tut tle said: "Since my ordination, of course, great changes have come. Vigorous states have organized themselves out of the old 'Great American Desert. ' In the Halls of Congress now are not a few leaders from the old 'Desert,' Utah and Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado and Oklahoma. "Religion helped to found the Un ion. Religion helps to keep the Un ion safe and sweet." Bishop . Tuttle was a well-known and beloved figure in St. Louis and on his latter birthdays the . entire city Joined in congratulations to the aged churchman. Even in. his de clining years, the venerable prelate preached every ChriBtmas,- Easter and Decoration Day at Christ Church Cathedral. A man of the greatest simplicity and kindness, it was not unusual to see the Bishop stop and chat with a tattered-garmented newsboy. He spent the majority of his sum mers in recent years at Wequetton Bing, Mich., and his principal exer cise was long walks and wood split ting. His habitual gait would have taxed the powers of many a younger man. A co-adjutor bishop to assist Bish op Tuttle in the Missouri diocese was elected in 1905. -Bishop Tuttle mar ried Miss Harriet M. Foote. of Mor ris, N. Y., in 1865. She died in 1901 They had two children. APPEALS FOR WAR AGAINST SOVIET New York. . April 18.

May Pea Shipments Be-in About May V (hlpmer.ts In Bulk Hardly Begin Moving Before lOlh or 15th Is Predict ion Now May pen shipments from Elizabeth City are not expected to begin mov ing earlier than May 1st. Shipments in bulk will hardly be iln moving freely until about ten lays or two weeks later, according to predictions of leading growers and shippers In this section. May peas last year had begun moving by this time nnd last year's "rop was regarded as rather lute. . ... ,-ti i i f n i nun i i (i h , This year's crop, however, promises' to be late beyond all records since May peas became a leading truck crop in this section. Not only is the crop late. Accord ing to estihiates now being niade by local shippers It Is ahio short as much as 50 per cent short, some shippers think. "The plant has been dwarfed and stunted by the severe cold of the early spring," said W. H. Jennette of the commission firm of Jennette Brothers, Wednesday morning. Be sides rot has set In in many Instances following damage by cold, wet weather. In my opinion, though the acreage this year is perhaps double that of any previous year, this year's crop will not be any larger than last year's. Growers are not worrvlne over much about the matter of a short crop, as they have hopes that the ' shorter tho imn i, m, . i will be. A heavily Increased nlnnt Ing of May peas this year resulted from , good prices last spring, when farmers made money on peas in an off year on potatoes, and from sen sationally hliHl nrl r r a loot foil w 1 . i n certain Elizabeth Citv planters trot ! record prices of $10 to $14 a basket "At l'irst Methodist Church," for peas shipped in November.

Tuesday This spring with the vleld, sav 40 inlght Dr. McLarty preached a great per cent short, a vleld of (10 baskets to the acre would be looked for; which at $10 a basket will bring the growers $R00 an acre. Up to last fall, however, $4 and $5 a basket had been considered a high price for May peas. ITXKRAL MRS. liritGKSS The funeral of Mrs. Nannie I!ur gess, widow of the late C. M.

It Is said by observers that the at tendance Is better at each of the six churches joining-in the simultaneous evangelistic campaign which began this week here than Is usual when each church has begun a revival in the past with the whole city to draw This is but one Indication of the deep and general interest in the cam paign that lias resulted from the weeks of preparation for it. The re vival movement is making itself felt thru the whole community In a way that Is without precedent in the his tory of the town so soon after a meeting's beginning. The pastors are continuing their plan of working together and meet each day at noon In the Chamber of Commerce rooms in the Community Building for conference and prayer. Any who wish to do so are invited to attend these noon meetings and Christian people throughout the city are asked to pause In whatever they may be engaged in when the clock strikes the hour of nooil to pray for the success of the campaign. The pastors feel that if the pro- Christians of the town can ot be brought to '.he proper cou- cern for the outcome of the meeting, Its success In a large way is assured. Reports from the various churcheB Indicate a considerable increase in attendance Tuesday over Monday, though Monday's congregations were unexpectedly large sermon on 'The Cod-Forsaken Life; but the sermon Wednesday, morning on 'The Fatherhood of God," was ev en greater.

Myers, "marked by very good attendance. The people are taking great lnterebt In the congregational singing, led by A. N. Fisher, veteran of fifteen years' experience, who has assisted such na tionally known evangelists as Sam Jones and George R. Stewart. Rev. L. B. Hayes, who Is a forceful young preacher and pastor of a great church at Greensboro, Is preaching sermons that are making a deep impression on his hearers." "Services continue three times dally at Christ Church," says Rev. George F. Hill, rector. "Dr. Hartley spoke last night on 'The Elder Broth er,' and the sermon was a powerful one, portraying the elder brother as the man we meet on the street and come in contact with every day. A feature of the services at Christ Church Is the question box, Into which members of the congregation are invited to drop questions that are troubling them spiritually. Dr. Hart ley answers these questions each ev ening." "Our congregation showed a good Increase Tuesday night," says Dr. Thayer, pastor of Blackwell Memor ial Baptist Church, "and Dr. Baeby preached a powerful sermon on 'The Omnipotence and Limitation of Christ.' We are looking for Interest In the meeting at Blackwell to quick en and deepen as the meeting goes on and prospects of the fulfilling of our expectations seem bright." "The best crowd we have ever seen In our church on Monday and Tues day nights In a revival meeting," is what members of the First Baptist Church are saying of attendance at this church. A good service was en-. Joyed Tuesday night, Mr. Templeman ' preaching on the subject "The. Two Rests," and the congregation enter ing heartily Into the singing. "Unwillingness, the Great Barrier to Soul-Winning," was the subject of Rev. W. G. Hughes at Calvary Bap tist Church Tuesday night. "Mr. Hughes preached a fine sermon," says Rev.
