CAUSE FOR PASTORTAKING OWN LIFE

(By Assoeiate.il Press) NEW YORK, Jan. 12. The motive

for the apparent suicide of Rev. Dr. Percy Gordon, former assistant rector of StBartholomew's Episcopal church,

whose body was found yesterday in a bath tub in his apartment in Hotel Wolcott, remained undiscovered to

day. There was a bullet wound in his right temple, and a revolver, with

one empty chamber, lay beneath his right hand.

The contents of two letters found

near the body and evidently written shortly before he had shot himself, were not made public. - One of the

letters was to Dr. Leighton Parks, rec

tor of St. Bartholomew s, and the oth

er to Dr. Gordon's son, George, an

understudy of the American embassy

In Paris.

Dr. Gordon, who was about 60 years

old, resigned from St. Bartholomew's

about six months ago. Soon after

ward he sub-let his New York apartment and sailed for Europe. Only a few of hi3 close friends knew he had returned to America. They said he had seemed nervou3 and apparently

was not benefited by the voyage.

Separated From Wife. Dr. Gordon was separated from his

wife, several years ago and she now

lives In Florida. Born in Savannah, Ga., Dr. Gordon was graduated from

the University of Virginia and for sev

eral years practiced law at Huntsville, Ala., later studying for the ministry. He was assistant rector of a church in Louisville, Ky., for five years and of Emanuel church in Boston for one year. He then went abroad, having charge of the American church in Geneva for a time and later was assistant rector of St. James' church. North Cambridge. Returning to this country he went to

isew bedrord, Mass, where for almost 17 years he was rector of the Grace Episcopal church, coming to the fashionable St. Bartholomew's church in

New York from Kew Bedford. He held a. degree in law from Columbia colleg, and that of Ph. D. from Harvard.

At the direction of Dr. Parks his

body was removed to tl)i undertaking parlors of Walter H. Williams, sexton

or fct. nartholomew a church pending arrangements for his funeral.

SCHOOL GYMNASTIC

EXERGISES TONIGHT

Announcement of the exhibition of gymnasium and physical education work in the Richmond public schools to be given at the Coliseum Friday night at 7:30 o'clock has been received from the school heads. This program will include exercises by the boys and girls of the two junior high schools, Morton high school and Starr school. They will be the tame as carried on in the regular gymnasium work at school. Arrangements have been made to give each school a scoi'e to that at the end of the exhibition a winner may be declared. Haold Little, head of the department of physical education of all the schools, will be in charge of the program. Marie C. Kauffman, Morton high

school; Mabel Loehr and L. H. Lyboult

rector of the national organization, of which he was also the treasurer for

some time. There has been a widespread impression that all plans for co-operative grain marketing had failed, says the former official. Two main causes have strengthened the belief that co-operative grain selling plan3 have been abandoned, says Mason. Internal dissension which broke out spectacularly during the annual meeting, in a struggle for control between two factions, and the consequent widespread publicity, fostered a belief, intensified and

eagerly disseminated by enemies of

the movement, that the plans had been "sunk without trace."

A second influence was the Inactivity, inexplicable to many 111-intormed

by Interested spectators, which im

mediately followed thje. almost feverish membership campaign. The strenuous efforts of that time, were followed by

almost complete cessation of any vlsl-

ble activity, a very damaging condition because many members believed that a start would be made the first sea

son. This yaactivlty was the result of

an unfavorable supreme court decision.

which nullified the Capper Tincher co

operative law, and prevented the oper

ation of the co-operative selling plans.

Had to Play Safe

"In face of adverse legislation, no

organization could have proceeded,

says Mr. Mason, "when it wa3 faced,

as with the U. S. Grain Growers, by the united and active opposition of grain dealers and boards of trade. It

was necessary first to remedy the un

favorable laws and, meanwhile, to refrain from even a technical violation, which our enemies would have seized

eagerly."

"The biggest mistake in the first organization," says Mr. Mason, "was.

I believe, in trying to include as directors tfoo many representatives of totally unlike farm organizations. The

difference between the pooling plan advocates and the direct sales advocates never was eliminated.

Plan State Sales Agency. "It i3 the hope of the Indiana administration, as voiced by Mr. Settle the state president, and others interested, that an agency can be set up within the near future for selling the grain at Indianapolis and thus satisfying the contracts of the U. S. Grain Growers with the Hoosier farmers. "Indiana millers have been very receptive to the plans and have practically promised us, if we can obtain 'milling in transit' privileges, that they will buy from us. "Apparently there will bo no difficulty in getting an outlet for Indiana grain when we are ready to sell it. However, we will look into it carefully before we start, and make sure there is no chance for a slip-up. Our first

Sales Company Starts

It Is the hope of the directors that

all the grain marketed will be han-

died from country elevators to millers and exporters," says President Reed, of the Minneapolis U. S. G. G. Sales

company.

Directors of the Minnesota Farm-

era Grain Dealers association have

endorsed the company and plan of or

gaaization, and will use it as a selling

agency for the association s members.

"The mistake was in trying to or

ganize from the top down, to form an

overhead organization before the con

tributing units were firmly assured.'

said W. H. Settle, Indiana state farm bureau federation president, when he

was in Richmond Thursday.

"The co-operative marketing plan

for livestock, although that commod

ity, jn addition to being seasonal, is

highly perishable, and as widely dis

tributed and with a volume of production comparable to gran, has proved successful because the plans were based on an organization of the producers in their own communities first, and then when they were organized to sell and had been selling successfully, in forming the terminal agency. "The same plazi i3 now being followed in grain marketing. The terminal agencies are being erected, based upon consignments by co-operative elevators or other local units.
