By the Associate NEW ORLF . La.. October 9.— The first joint session of the House of | Bishops und House of Deputies of the | forty-eighth triennfal General Conven- tion of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America was held to- day to hear the report of the national couneil. The House of Bishops yvesterday ap proved the conviction of Bishop Wil- Jiam Montgomery Brown of charges of heresy and affirmation of the ver- seat and vote in the House of Bishops Brown, however, will continue to a seat and vote in the house of bishol until he is sentenced by the presiding hishop. The House of Bishops vesterday heard a recommendation for the fixing of the annual salary and expense al- lowance for the primacy, totaling $20,000,and heard an address by Bishop Sessums of Loulsi which he pleaded for the preservation of the church traditions and for “application of principles of democracy in selec- tion of a prelate.” Bishop's Resignation Seen. A report circulated ye the presiding bishop, U Ethelber Talbot of Bethlehem, submitted to committee the res tion of Bishop Boyd Vincent of S ern Ohio, was believed to indicate that an effort would be made shortly for the election of the Right Rev. T. L. Reese, Bishop Coadutor of Southern Ohto, as primate. Bishop Vincent's resignation would automatically qual ify Bishop Reese as a primacy eligible. Many delegates saw in Bishop Reese a possible nominee for the primacy on whom support could be centered, providing strength apparently aligned with Bishop Gailor of Tennessee and Bis Brent of Western New York lacks a sufficient majority. A possible hindrance to this was contained in the announcement that general dissatisfactlon has arisen in Bishop Vincent's diocese over his resignation and that a delegation from the diocesan standing committee has been assigned a date for presenting a protest before the committee on resig- nations. Committee Gets Resignation. The resignation of Bishop Julius W. | Atwood of Arizona also has been re- ferred to this committee.

FLOWER GARDEN IS AMBITION OF IN EVERY YARD GLADIOLUS KING A. E. Kunderd, Who Has Won Fame and Fortune by Experiments, Is “Just Beginning” His Ex- ploitation Work, He Declares. By the Associated Press. GOSHEN, Ind., October 9.—Motor- ists who pause along the Lincoln high- way west of here to admire acres of gladiolus blooms which stretch away from the pavement, may see among the rows of color an overralled man, well past middle age, caring tenderly for the flowers. He is A. E. Kunderd, gladiolus king, whose experimentation in their culture has brought him worldwide fame among horticulturists, and a fortune, too. The developer of more variéties of gladioluses than any other man, Kunderd says he is just beginning to exploit the possibilities of the flower, which attracted him 40 years ago. Less than a score of years ago, glad- loluses were rare. Few fine varities were available. Kunderd’s methods of selection and his matings presently be- gan to produce new and choicer varie- ties, laying the foundation for the pro- duction finally of the ruffled gladiolus, his masterpiece. It is a type with beautiful ruffled petals, and its intro- duction was a horticultural sensation. He has a more farflung goal, how- ever, than being a gladiolus producer. He wants to see in his lifetime a flower garden in the yard of every American home. That will be a reality, he be- lieves, within the next ten years. In the National and Western gladlolus expositions this year at Rochester, N. Y.; and Des Moines, lowa, Mr. Kunderd won more than three- fourths of the total awards. From almost every country harticulturists have come to his farm of several hun- dred acres to take back his methods of gladiolus hybridization and specl- mens of the flowers.

Suit for Property Claimed Part of Navy Reserve. The Standard Oll Co. of California ¢ filed suit for an injunction in the District Supreme Court against Hubert Work, Secretary of the In- terior, to prevent the prosecution of a hearing in California to divest the oil company of its title to the land in Kern County which is said to be with- in the boundaries of the naval ofl re- serve No. 1, known as Elk Hills. The company says its title to the prop- erty was acquired in 1908, long before any mineral was discovered on the land, and may not now legally be at- tacked by the Government. Chief Justice Walter 1. McCoy is- sued a rule on Secretary Work to show jcause October 17 why the injunction { should not be granted. The proceeding sought to be halted is said to have been ordered by the Department of the Interior in con- formity with a Senate resolution in- troduced by Senator Walsh of Mon- tana, prosecutor of the oil investiga- tion.' Attorneys Oscar Sutro and Me- Kenney & Flannery appear for the plaintiff. The court is told that the title to the land was surveyed in 1903 and ac- quired by under a school land grant in 1904. The Standard Ofl Co. got_title from the State of California in 1908 and it was not until 1919 that mineral de- posits were known to be on the prop- erty. The title was questioned, it is said, and a hearing held before the Department of the Interior which re- sulted in an order by E. C. Finney, Assistant Secretary, to the commis- sloner of the General Land Office, dl- recting a_ dismissal of the contest. Despite this action, Secretary Work has directed the hearing now sched- uled at Visalia, Calif., the court is told, and such action, the comparmy nasserts, constitutes a cloud against lits title.

NAVYYARDS VAGE HEARNG REESSE Remaining Crafts Asking Pay Increases to Be Heard Monday and Tuesday. | i Representatives of small specialized crafts employed at the Washington were called before the A feature of the arguments present- ed today in support of wage increases, effective Januar: vas the testimony | of Shrive W. King, who informed the |board that he and I. C. Clayton are the only two men out of the 2,300 at the yard who are leather workers. Unable to present data showing the scale of wages prevailing in comparable positions outside of the yard, Mr. King | contended that his and Clayton's work is so intricate and specialized that no leather worker in Washington could fill their jobs. Mr. King requested the | board 1o increase their wages from 70 | cents to 80 cents an hour. An increase of from 62 cents an hour to 82 cents was argued for on behalf of some 20 metallic_cartridge case makers by Francis M, Graves and George B. Edwards. They cited that men on the outside are getting the 82-cent-per-hour rate and also cited the fact they have had no real in- crease since September 16, 1921. Thomas A. Green and George A Wilburt, representing the buffers and polishers and_electroplaters, compri ing a group of 17 men at the yard, ar- gued for increases approximating 10 per cent over the present scale of 78 cents per hour. | Capt.
