By the Associated Press. | LONDON, June 21.—Renewal of the confliet over the revision of the Church | of England's book of common prayer | was -envisaged by the Daily News to- day when it reported the bishops at a meeting at Lambeth Palace last week decided to recommend to the convoca- | tion of bishops the use of the new prayer book, “subject to certain re- visions.” ‘The ¢onvocation meets from July 10 to 12 and the recommendation is ex- | pected to arouse stormy discussion.

On June 14, 1928, the book was again submitted with some slight modi- fications, but was rejected by a ma- jority of 45 atter an intensive two-day debate. The next sensation was the declaration of the House of Bishops, after four days’ deliberations, that “until further order be taken” the bishops could not regard as inconsistent with loyalty to the principles -of the Church of England the use by clergy “of such additions to or deviations from | the prayer book of 1662 as fall within | the limits of the proposals approved by the House of Convocation and the | Church Assembly. | Naming the Days of the Week.

MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa, June 21.— | A plea for modification of the rules of court procedure to permit the trial judge to act as an adviser to the jury rather than “Assume the rather humil- ating position of a mere figurehead or | colorless moderator,” was made today by Gurney E. Newlin, president of the American Bar Association. “To see that the facts are ascertained and obscured; that the law is honestly and fearlessly applied to such facts, and that no unfair advantage is taken by | his lawyer—this, I submit, is the supreme function of the presid- ing judge in the institution of trial by Jury,” he sald. Newlin was speaker at the Iowa Bar Association convention. He defended the system of trial by jury, for the| abolition of which, he said, much agi- tation has been made. | He disputed the argument that right of the judge to comment cn the evi- | dence would tend to make the jurist | “dominate the jury.” Such an argu- | ment “questions and dqubts both the Property Quners If you own property that you would like to exchange, see me.
