A NEW DIOCESE Episcopal Convention Votes in Favor, of Division. END OF A LONG DISCUSSION Question Now to Go to the Gen- eral Convention. LAST NIGHT’S DEBATE The plan of dividing the diocese of Mary- land into two dioceses was carried by an overwhelming majority at the session of the Episcopal diocesan convention last evening. The motion was not put until a late hour and after a protracted discussion. When the final vote was taken only five were recorded against it. The new diocese of Washington is to con- sist of the District of Columbia and four counties of Maryland—Prince George's, St. Mary’s, Charles and Montgomery counties. It is needless to say that taere is a general feeling of satisfaction among the parishes of this city, as the division is provided for exactly along the lines desired by local churchmen, All that now remains is to petition the general convention of the church for a di- vision, which will undoubtedly be granted at its triennial meeting in Minneapolis next October. The Afternoon Session. Yesterday afternoon after The Star's re- port of the diocesan convention closed the committee on donations and bequests sub- mitted its report, which went at some length into the matter of the Keerl be- quests to the convention of Maryland. These bequests amounted to over $250,000, but the will of Mrs. Keerl’s son, which left part cf that sum, had been contested, and the committee reported the plan of com- promise which had been-decided upon with the surviving relatives of the dead man in order to avoid a contest. According to this plan the convention would receive about $120,000. This compromise plan had receiv- ed favorable criticism from members of the convention learned in the law, and the com- mittee favored its adoption. The report closed with a resolution providing for the appointment of a special committee to set- tle all the claims of the convention against the estate of E. F. Keerl as might seem most profitable to them. The resolution was not acted upon at this time, as it would have precipitated the gen- eral discussion on division. It involved the whole question of the apportioning of the accumulating funds between the two pro- posed dioceses of Maryland and Washing- ton. One of the contestants of the will of E. F. Keerl was his aunt, Miss Donald, who offered to deed to the convention, regard- jess of its legal claim, a certain portion of ‘the bequest, reserving to herself the right to dictate in what way the funds should be utilized. If this report were adopted with its reso- lution it would leave to Miss Donald the power to give the bulk of the funds to the diocese of Maryland, cutting out Washing- ton, as a new diocese, altogether. Some opposition to the resolution was developed on the part of those favoring division. A Question of Order. Bishop Paret ruled that the resolutions asking for a division, embodied in Dr. Mc- Kim's report, were not germane to the subject assigned to the committee, and that, in order to come before the conven- tion, they must be formally introduced. There was some little discussion as to which resolutions had the right of way, those of Mr. Skipworth Wilmer, as chair- man of the committee on donations and be- quests, or those which Dr. McKim was anxious to bring up. Bishop Paret decided in favor of the committee on donations and bequests. An amendment to the reso- lution was adopted, to the effect that no special committee should be appointed, but that the whole matter should be left to the committee which had already handled. it with such ability and success. Rev. Dr. Mackay Smith submitted an. amendment providing that the proposed diocese of Washington be recognized on the commit- tee, but this amendment was not carried. Mr. Carter of Baltimore explained at some length the conditions which surround the bequest, pointing out that if the com- promise were not accepted without delay it would result in the convention getting nothing at all. They would be wiser to take steps looking to the securing,of the money, about $120,000, than if they spent their time trying to devise a way in which the funds can be equitably divided. Mr. P. C. Williams heartily supported Mr. Carter in his position. The money, he said, did not belong to the convention nor to the heirs-at-law. It is in litigation and the convention should be grateful to Miss Donald for deeding so large an amount and should realize that a donor has the perfect right to do as he or she will with his own, Mr. Wm. A. Meloy submitted an amend- ment providing for the addition of the name of Bishop Paret to the committee on donations and bequests, to which com- mittee should be left plenary powers in the way of settling the whole problem. Before putting the question Bishop Paret made a few remarks on the subject. He paid a high tribute to the services of the committee and especially to its chairman, Mr. Wilmer. Its proposition, he said, was far more satisfactory then he had hoped for and he earnestly urged the adoption of the proposed compromise. He knew the two women referred to and he knew them to be the best of friends to the church and he was willing to leave it to Miss Donald to say how the funds should be disposed of. The question, with its amendments, was put and carried by unanimous vote. The Division of Legacies. Rev. Dr. McKim then moved that a com- mittee of twelve, three laymen and three clergy, from each of the proposed dioceses, be appointed to consider and report at the earliest moment what proportion should be adopted in the division of any iegacies to which the convention of the diocese of Maryland may have become entitled by the terms of any will or codicil thereto (the testator being deceased), between January 1, 1894, and May 1, 1895, and that the re- port of the committee of twelve above named should be the order of the day at 8 p.m. Dr. McKim made an appeal that the whole matter of finances and the division of funds should be settled in committee room rather than on the floor of the con- vention. The Cart Before the Horse. Rev. Dr. Grammer of Baltimore took the ground that they were “getting the cart before the horse” in discussing a division of the funds before deciding to divide the diocese itself. He suggested instead that they should first act upon the resolution to divide the diocese and postpone for the time being the discussion of the financial side of the question. After some discussion as to which phase of the question should be taken up first and a few closing words from the bishop, Rev. Dr. McKim withdrew bis resolution. He thereupon introduced a resolution which provided in detail for the division of the diocese. In a few earnest remarks Dr. McKim spoke in favor of his resolution, outlining the results of the meeting held Tuesday evening of the clerical and lay delegates from Washington and the four counties of Maryland in question. They were in favor of keeping the Maryland counties in the diocese of Washington. He himself would oppose division if a diocese were formed out of the District of Columbia alone. It would be too small. There are but sixteen self- supporting parishes in the District. A city does not make a good diocese. A city needs the country, and the country needs the city. The $54,000 which had been raised was given with the distinct understanding that it should be used for the diocese as outlined a year ago. Mr. Joseph Packard, jr., of Baltimore of- fered a substitute, providing for the erec- ton of a diocese from the District of Co- lumbia alone, so as to give all an oppro- tunity to vote on both propositions. At the conelusion of Mr. Packard's remarks and without taking a vote an adjournment was taken, the hour of 5 o'clock having arrived. The Evening Session. The meeting of the convention last even- ing was opened with religious exercises, consisting of the evening prayer of the Episcopal Church service, conducted by the’ THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, MAY 30, 1895—TWELVE PAGES. bishop, assisted by three of the egates to the convention. When the session was opened for business Rev. Dr. Grar mer of Baltimore called for the reading of Dr. McKim’s resolution as amended by Mr. Packard, which proposed that the new diocese should consist of the District of Columbia without the lower counties of Maryland. Dr. Grammer ar- gued that the amendment introduced the question in an entirely new form, and would greatly entangle and complicate the consideration of the whole matter. The whole idea of a division was based upon geographical lines, as outlined in Dr. Mc- Kim’s resolution. The action of the con- vention of last year was all in favor of a new diocese which would include a portion of Maryland, and upward of $60,000 had been raised in this city with that under- standing. In his opinion, the convention would have no justification, moral or legal, in going back upon the plan as outlined a year ago, and: thoroughly canvassed since then, and taking up a plan of dividing up the diocese in an altogether different. man- ner. To simply take out Washington from the diocese of Maryland would not raise @ sufficient amount of cares from the shoul- ders of the bishop of Maryland, and would Not equitably apportion the labors between the two bishops. With all the cgnditions in favor of division as outlined in Dr. Mc- Kim's resolution, he thought it preposter- ous to take up the consideration of an en- tirely new basis of division or to let the question of an apportionment of the funds enter into the consideration at all. The suggestion for a division had emanated criginally from Bishop Paret, who is the closest observer of the needs of the diocese. There are said to b> more Episcopalians in the city of Washington in proportion to the population than in any other city of the United States. So all circumstances seemed to point to division, and to a di- vision which should include the District of Columbia and four counties of Maryland. The diocese of Maryland would still be large enough and strong enough, while it takes no prophet to sce that in years to come Washington would be one of the great cities of the world in point of moral in- fluence, as well as in size and political in- fluence. Dr. Williams also spoke against Mr. Packard's amendment, and the suggestion to limit the diocese of Washington to the District of Columbia. ‘To have a bishop for sixteen parishes would be like having a major general to command a company. It would cut the diocese off from all missionary work, and that work is often the secret of spiritual life and growth. But give it the four coun- ties of Maryland, and it would have an ample territory,-and the bishop would have enough to do. Dr. Eliott’s Summary. Rev. Dr. John H. Elliott, rector of the Church of the Ascension, followed in the same line of argument. A division on the basis suggested by Mr. Packard would not be in accord with what the bishop had laid down as a prerequisite to his consent—an equitable division of the labors and respon- sibilities. Maryland should be more con- sistent than that. No new arguments had been raised against division on the old lines that were not raised last year. No reason for a change had been adduced, for it was a change. On the other hand, some diffi- culties had been cleared away. The finan- cial problem had been solved in this city, while the receipt of a large bequest by the convention of Maryland seemed a provi- dential provision for its needs. In support of his position, Dr. Elliott read from the report of a committee on division made to the convention of 1859 in favor of making a diocese of Washington, which, it said, would be second to none in importance and influence. Rev. Mr. Gantt of Baltimore argued against division, saying that one of the strongest reasons for not being willing. to let Washington go was the noble zeal and the loyalty to the church evinced by the members of the proposed diocese of Wash- ington. There were new conditions, he said. Last year Washington. had objected to the southern counties of Maryland, on the ground that they would be a burden keavier than she could bear. There had been a wonderful change of feeling, for now Washington showed a surprising inter- est in them, presumably because she real- ized that without them diocesan consent could not be secured for a separation. Criticising Washington. Mr. Gantt made a very eloquent speech and rather ‘‘went for’? Washington for the lack of interest the church had shown here in the work among colored people. He expressed the opinion that Washing- ton had no more real interest in the low- er counties of Maryland than it has in Parishes on the other side of the Rockies. Rey. Mr. Johnston of Laurel, Md., made a bright and witty speech in favor of di- vision. He was the first from any of the counties in question to speak and he took exception to Mr. Gantt of Baltimore _pre- suming to express the sentiment of the lower pariches. He himself was of the opinion that those counties were in favor of a division. He took Mr. Gantt to task for saying that a year ago Washington ob- jected to pairing off with the Maryland counties, The only objection was that if Howard, Calvert and Anne Arundel coun- ties were also added the burden would be unduly heavy. Rev. Mr. London of Upper Marlboro’ fol- lowed in favor of division. He said that it was an old saying that one has to go away froin home to hear the news. The first he had ever heard of the southern counties being in revolt was on the floor of this convention. It was curious, too, that all this news should come from Bal- timoreans and that they had never heard of it in the southern counties. He repudi- ated all that Mr. Gantt had said last even- ing. Dr. Robert Atkinson of Baltimore argued against the amendment, which he char- acterized as intended not to amend, but to destroy. Dr. McKim took the ground that if divi- sion were made on any other lines than those originally laid down, not one dollar of the $54,000 raised for an episcopal fund could be kept. He knew Maryland as well as anyone in the house and he took excep- tion to what Mr. Gantt had tried to bring forward as the sentiment of the counties. Mr. Cherles Abert opposed division in a brief speech, partially on the ground that Baltimere had shown its aversion to the plan by refusing to raise an episcopal fund. clerical del- Mr. Hay’s Remarks. Mr. E. B. Hay, lay delegate from this city, spoke in favor of division on the orlg- inal lines, and incidentally defended Wash- ington from the charge that it 1s derelict in its duty toward the colored people. He also answered some of Mr. Gantt’s arguments, although, he said, the case was very much like that of the Kansas organist, who tack- ed up the sign: ‘Don’t shoot the organist. He 1s doing the best he can.” Further on, referring to some more of the arguments trought forward by the del- egate frcm Baltimore, Mr. Hay said he was reminded of the criticism once passed upon a western crator: ‘He is like a low-pres- sure steamboat on the Mississippi river. A very nice boat, but every time it blows its whistle its machinery stops.” There were one or two such hits as this in Mr. Hay’s speech, but altogether it was one of the ablest addresses of the evening. The Vote. At the end of a discussion lasting two hours Rev. Dr. Mackay Smith moved the question. A motion to lay Mr. Packard’s amend- ment on the table was carried by an al- most unanimous vote. The vote then reverted .to the original resolution calling for division, and on a rising vute so many got up that the bishop said {t would be better to let the other side get up. Only five rose, Mr. Abert, Mr. Gantt and three others. Divis‘on was carrie made unanimous on Mr. Gantt’s motion. Dr. McKim then introduced resolutions which supplied the working details for put- ting into effect the action of the conven- tion. They were unanimously adopted, as was also the following: Resolved, That a committee of three clergymen and three laymen from the ter- ritory of the proposed new diocese, and the same number of clergymen and lay- men from the other part of the diocese, be appointed to consider and report at the earliest moment what proportion should be adopted in the division of any gifts, devises or bequests, to which the conven tion of the diocese of Maryland may have become entitled by the terms of any will, or codicil thereto (the testator being de- ceased), between January 1, 1894, and May 1, 1895, and other diocesan funds. A Committee Appointed. Before adjourning Bishop Paret appointed the committee on division of funds as fol- and the vote was lows: Rey. Dr. Hodges, Rev. W, M. Dame and Rev. F. Gibson of the Baltimore clergy; Mr. Skipwith Wilmer, Mr. D. M. Thomas and Mr. J. Wort Randall of the Baltimcre lay members; Rev. Dr. Elliott, Rev. Alexander Mackay-Smith and Rev. Dr. Addison of the Washington clergy; and Hon. J. G. Parke, Mr. Charles King and Mr. J. C. Bancroft Davis of the Washing- ton lay members. QUEER EXPERIENCE Little Lewis Batemam. Was Taken to the Country, He Escaped From:'His Captor and Walked Home—®6ld to Mind the Geese. Little Lewis Bateman aged seven years, son of Mr. George Bateman, living at No. 923 12th street southeast, has just passed through an experiencetthat he is not likely to forget for the remainder of his life. While out in the street playing with some ccmrades Tuesday, a woman, who is well known by sight among the storekeepers in that section of the city, but of whose name mone seem to be aware, came along in a little, old, no-top wagon, to which was attached a diminutive horse, and stopping near where te boys were she asked little Bateman to take a ride with her. The boy, nothing loath, did so, and the woman drove on down 12th street to M, along which she proceeded to llth and thence across the Navy Yard bridge and to Anacostia, where all trace of the party was for the time being lost. As the lad did not return home at dark search was made for him in the neighbor- heed, and finally tho police officials were notified. The most diligent efforts to get a trace of the boy were made by the lat- ter, but without avail, and the affair seem- ed to be one of those mysterious events not likely to be solved for a long time, until about 5 e’clock yesterday afternoon, when the poor boy, almos: worn out by a ten-hours’ tramp, reached his parents’ heme. At first the boy was qnable to tell what had occurred to him during his absence, but after receiving some proper food, he said that when he got into the wagon it was with the intention of only riding as far as the bricge. On getting there, how- ever, the woman declined to stop to allow him to get out of the vehicle and drove hurriedly across the bridge, telling Lewis he cculd get out on ghe other side. Arriving there, however, she turned into Harrison street, along which she drove until Good Hope hill was reached, beyond which is her home, to which she proceeded. How far he was the boy. does not know, but it was night when the party reached the woman's house. Soon afterward the woman gave Lewis his supper and told him to go to bed. The latter consisted of a piece of carpet, which he was told to place on the floor and lie on. The boy obeyed, but was unable to sleep and anxiously awaited the coming of day- light, hoping that he would have an oppor- tunity to escape, as he felt sure that he could find his way home if given the chance. He was completely dumfounded when, soon after breakfast, he was told by the woman to mind*some geese, but meekly obeyed and performed the task faithfully until she returned to the house, where the husband of the latter, who had been abserit from home, but returned during the even- ing before, was also staying. The moment that Lewis felt that he would be reasonably secure from observa- tion he started in-what he supposed was the direction of honie, and after running a long d:stance came within sight of the Washington monument. , Keeping this in view, he finally reached Anacostia, from which place to his Heme the journey, ex- cept for the discomfért wecasioned by sore feet and weariness -ofoBody, was easily made. It is not thought tha the woman, who is said to be simple4uinded, was actuated by any other motive-than’ a desire to have the child for company, and while she only furnished him with a@carpet to lie upon, it was the best sleeping-arrangement she had in the house. It is asc said that she some time sirce attempted to drive off with an older brother of Lewis, and had him in her wagon, but was diseevered by Mr. Bate- man’s eldest son, a lad:of fourteen years, who pulled the boy fromm the vehicle. It is understood that no aitempt will be made to arrest the womanj.as she. is believed to be wholly irresponsible for her- actions. ——>———_ MANASSAS INDOSTRIALGSCHOOL.
