By invitation 000 1',-cent envelopes were 1y aropped today, when the House of Deputies concurred in the action yes- terday of the House of Bishops to leave hese articles in the prayer book The house made no change in th resolution from the House of Bishops which in s language proposed that the matter of dropping the 39 articles be indefinitely postponed. But the unanimous action of the House of Dep- uties was considered as finally closing the question which has been pending before the church for three years. i The House of Deputies after concur- ring in the decision of the House of Bishops, proceeded further to order the comn n on the revis' g and enrich- | ment of the Book of C Prayer, | to proceed with printing, publishing and | distribution of the new book. | A copy of the complete revision was | formally presented to the house by Dr. John W. Suter of Massachusetts,| chairman of the House of Deputies committee, which co-operated with the bishop’s committee on the revision. | The 39 articles were ordered kept in | the prayer book by the house in an at- | mosphere tense with significance, punc- | tuated with laughter and applause. The | action finally was solemnized by the unexpected and voluntarily led sm;zm;;j of the doxology ! Editor Approves Motion. While representatives of virtually all} parties in the church, high and low, i joined in the making and seconding of | the motion. an outstanding feature of this part of the session was the ap-| proval of Dr. Frederic C. Morehouse n” Milwaukee, editor of the magazine, the | Living Church, who three years ago | moved the original resolution to strike | out the 39 articles. ¢ Prank H. Nelson of Cincinnati, who three years ago also had voted for the removal of the articles at the conven- tion at New Orleans, presented the mo- | tion to the House of Deputies. Al- though he said he did not believe they belonged in the prayer book, he added, | in support of this motion to leave them there, “I do not think they are the thing on which we should center our | controversy tods | Several seconding _speeches were | made, led by F. H. Sill of Connecticut | of the Order of the Holy Cross, a repre- sentative of the so called high church group. g Immediately following him came a deputy known as a broad churchman, | Rosewell Page of Virginia. “I beg leave | to say,” said Mr. Page, “that nothing this convention has done or any other | eouvention will ever do, will add as| tnuch to the satisfaction and peace of our beloved church.” He characterized this convention as “most sensible.” Dr. Morehouse, who had moved the original resolution three years ago, was roundly applauded when he rose to} second the motion. He explained that his original intention had been to cease to publish the 39 articles in one place and to begin publishing them in enother. But he said it had developed and become clear that elimination of the articles “would distress the people of the church. “Isn’t Worth a Division.” “It isn't worth a division In (he: chureh,” he said. “It isn’t worth burt- ing the members of the ¢hurch. When it became clear that there would be no| ‘unanimity it also became perfectly clear that this step ought not to be taken.| Very gladly, therefore,” he concluded | significantly. “do I second this resolu- tion Other seconding speeches were made by Judge George F. Henry of Iowa, Charles P. McGill of Virginia, Marme- duke Hare, dean of the Cathedral ol‘ Davenport, Towa. At the conclusion of the vote, which ‘was unanimous, as the presiding officer, Dr. George Craig Stewart of Chicago, started to proceed with the business, a voice in song rose from the back of the hall in the soleum tones of the doxology. Business was halted, and the entire assemblage arose and sang. The Jeader in this was Rosewell Page of Virginia, In discussion of ways and mears to publish the new revision of the prayer- | book, Dr. Morehouse proposed informal- | ly that the church should officially au- | thorize the publication without copy- right. This invoked considerable fa- vorable discussion. D. C. Man Is Elected. “ The House of Bishops early this afternoon elected four _missionary bishops, including one native Wash- ingtonian, Rev. Norman Binsted, son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas W. Binsted of 5201 Sherrier place, was elected bishop of Tohoku, Japan.

Rev. Dr. Percy Kammerrerr of burgh presented the report om the joint ! committee on marriage and divorce to | the House of Deputies, which concurred | with previous action of the Bishops, who sdopted it. The Deputies approved the setting aside | of Sunday, November 18, as a day upon which special offerings are to be taken | to repair the damage to church prop- erty in Porto Rico and Florida. An amendment to the constitution | which would require one clerical and one lay deputy from each diocese to | be under 35 years of age was defeat- | ed by the House. | ‘The report of the commission on | the lectionary. which provides a new table of Scripture lessons for morning | and evening services, was approved by | the Deputies. i For | sold to an unidentified man who called at the Lansford office.

The inspectors pointed out | that upon questioning others in the | office similar denials at’ first were forth- | coming. Later, however, one of the under-em- ployes came to the inspector, the report | ted. and confessed that several| sacks of the circulars were | ped in the Lansford office in the | nce of Postmaster Stickford, a | cork’ being used instead of the regular stapip showing the place and date of mafling. | When this information was placed before the postmaster, the inspectors | declared, he became defiant and refused | to discuss the matter any further. Mrs. | Stickler took a similar attitude, it was | arge The report said that one of the em- | ployes of the office said that the chauf- | feur of a member of Congress brought the circulars to the office.

The Bishop of Vermont, Arthur| Crawshay Alliston Hall, chairman of | the commission on canons, reported | with a printed document of 27 pages, | containing proposed amendments to| Canons 27 to 34, inc., and also Canons | 40 and 51. “Two things are urgently needed to complete our ecclesiastical judicial system.” he said, “first, a uni- form code of constituting diocesan trial | courts and the conduct of trials in such | courts, and second, a final court of ap- made if a bishop is accused of an of- fense against doctrine, faith or worship | of the church.

[ Praises Virginia's Loyalty | In this connection he declared: “The Union which this commonwealth did 0 | much to establish. the Union hallowed:| by the name of Washington, the Union which Jackson defended with fervor no less pronounced than that of Lincoln, the Union which took a new place in the world under Wilson, is not accorded a loyalty in any other part of our Re- public more devoted and sincere than that which is constantly manifest in the life of the people of Virginia.” Mr. Coolidge took occasion to pay a founding of the Republic and its sub- sequent_development, saying that from early colonfal times down to_the pres- ent hour men who have lived and wrought in this scction of Virginia have cast a mighty influence over the course of the affairs of this Nation. They have been a race,” he said, “who led in carving out this Republic and establishing its institutions, who believed in local self-government and | loved liberty.” He then recalled a long list of the | outstanding Virginians who, he said, | contributed so much toward the mak- | ing of a powerful Nation of the United States. tion introduced in the House of Bishops | b, was referred to the commission on social service. In the House of Deputies the resolu- tion was introduced by George Zabriskie | of New York City, who spoke briefly but earnestly in support of the matter. But | upon objection by Rev.

The resolution would have declared 1t the sense of the church “that the | fccepie principle of the scparation of viwsich and state should be maintained | that a purse is being made up for the | this church, while creat t g and upholding the highest moral sta speech of | i se of Bishops, but if the accused | can be a presbyter or deacon, the dio- | { cesan court consisting possibly of three | and development utterly inccmpetent men so far as the question at issue is concerned, may set- tle the most fundamental articles of the Christian faith and if this decision is sustained by one single bishop therc no appeal from its decision.” Representative Bland Presides.

Coupled with it is a bitter denunciation of John W.

It fol- ows: “The Washington Central Labor Union, representing 90,000 adult citi- zens of the District of Columbia, strongly reaffirms its opposition to the request for a car fare increase. ince the Capital Traction Co. stated several years ago that its return on its investments did not warrant or in any way justify a demand for an increase in the street car fare, there has been no revaluation to warrant its change in position. “We hold as grossly unjustifiable the statement of the chairman of the Pub- lic Utilities Commission that ‘the thought of a revaluation is pre- posterous.’ Demand Protection. “We contend that a revaluation, if demanded by the citizens of this com- munity, is not ‘preposterous’; we further protest’ that the Public Utilities Com- mission was created by Congress to pro- tect not only the corporations, but the citizens as well. We demand, therefore, that the protection of the public in- terests be made & function of the Pub- lic Utilitles Commission and that this function be not held as ‘preposterous,’ as the present chairman has publicly termed it. “And, further, we deeply resent this unwarranted gesture on the part of the street railways, in the form of a de- mand for street car fare increases, to of the hearing on the Wilson merger plan.” The statement, 1t vas said, was adopt- ed after a long and spirited discussion in which every delegate to the labor union not only individually protested a higher fare, but objected to the tactics and methods of procedure adopted by the commission in considering the Cap- ital Traction Co.'s application.

This plan proposed first the refusal of | an increase to the Washington Railway | & Flectric Co., which did not ask for it, but was made a party to the case, and then telling the Capital Traction Co. that, since 1t has publicly announced it would not accept a higher fare unless the competing company was similarly treated, it would be futile to approve the 10-cent fare application.

Comdr. Fulton, while saying that he knew nothing of the Gravelly Point site here, said that a successful land- ing field for these ships should be one mile square. This would permit of the placing of the hangars in the center. s0 that the great ships could be walked in from either end. These hangars are about 1,000 feet long and there should eacu hangar. He said, however, that the weather conditions in this area are suitable for the successful handling of the ships. In fact. he said. any place south of prevailing winds are such that these all times.

While the ultimate project as now planned calls for a fleld 3,000 feet in length, Maj. Somervell said that it eventually could be carried down the river as far as Alexandria, for a dis- tance of 12.000 feet more. In order to complete the. original project in two vears, it would mean that Congress must provide a total of $2500,000 within that period, as that is the esti- mate of the ultimate cost of the work, for the 6.000-foot project.
