KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 11.—The con- troversy of ten s’ standing was set- tled by the Catholic Knights of America to-day when the delegates meeting here in annual convention voted to admit women to the order. Yesterday the reso- lution proposing this change in the con- stitution was voted down, failing by thirty-four votes to receive the necessary two-thirds majority. To-day there was a complete change of front. At this af- ternoon's session reconsideration of ves- terday’s action was moved and carried, and a vote was retaken without debate, The result was the surprising total of 2 votes in favor of the women to 29 against. _The convention gteeted the result with tremendous applause.

BISHOP POTTER MAY ORDAIN DR. BRIGGS Uncertainty Deepens as the Day Set Apart for the Ceremony Ap- proaches. NEW YORK. May 11. — Uncertainty deepens as the day approaches which was originally set for the ordination of Dr. Briggs. Opponents of the clergyman have been firm in the belief that his ordination postponed. To-day, however, there were developed indications which Dr. Briggs' friends sald appeared to point to a determination on the part of Bishop Potter to proceed with the cere- mony. Rev. Dr. Huntington of Grace Church hinted that he had information regarding the intentions of Bishop Potter, but was not at liberty to make them pub- In an editorial the Churchman, Bish- op Potter's official mouthpiece, to-day says: The church cannot be expected to pledge her- self to acquisitions of all kinds of sclentific in- Vestigation, Sclentific Bible study is reaily an evidence of growth of religious feeling, not of its decline.. Archaeologists and critics are do- ing heroic work in making the Bible sources and Bible contents more intelligible every day. Machinery and administration of church life of our day should not be used to hamper progress of research and carry us off from the pathway of truth to the byways of obscuration and prejudice. ¥ - | The Strike at Buffalo Rapidly Assum- L R T R e S I S CrURGE BUILT FROM | ONE IMMENSE TREE ! ! = May 11.—In the golden jubilee of the Baptist churches of California, which is to take place in San Francisco on May 24, the Santa Rosa organi- zation will play an important part.

CAIMES FIGURE N THE SMITH DIVORCE CASE e NEW YORK, May 1l—Incidental to an action for divorce brought Charles G. Smith, manufacturer of lamps, against his wife, Dora H. Smith, in which charges ¢ misconduct are made by each against the other, appear many sensational features, such as at- tempted murder and suicide, threats to kill and several love ep! d The features of the case became pub- lic to-day when the wife made an ap- plication for her support and mainte- nance, and for the appointment of a commission to go to Los Angeles, Cal., to take evidence there. The motions were submitted to Judge Scott upreme Court, the decision being re- rved. The marriage of the Smiths tdok | ce in Boston in 1885. They ha two ldren—twins—who are invalid A haration occurred several years ago cause they could not gree, and Smith stipulated to pay his wife $50 monthly. She has been keeping a boarding-house since her husband left her. He says she has been intimate with Willilam H. Short and Arthur Waldo Lewis, but Mrs. Smith declares that these charges are unfounded and nothing but the outcome of a con- spiracy against her, and that the char- acter of these men is such that, the charges should not be believed. Mrs. Smith tells an interesting nar- ative through her counsel of the man- ner in whica she discovered her hus- band's relations with Mrs. Bessie Stan ley of Los Angeles. Her story is bas in part from facts that she obt from her husband’'s diary, which sent to her fiom the Chief of Police of Los Angeles, and from clippings from newspapers of that city of April 26 and 1895. These reports show that Charles H. Stanley shot his wife Bes- sie and immediately afterward com- mitted suicide as she had threatened to leave him. They also stated that Charles G. Smith, whom Mrs says is her husband, had induced Mrs. Stanley to leave her husband, and had made many extensive and extravagant presents to her. At the time Stanley committed sui- cide Mrs. Smith says Smith left Los Angeles so hurriedly that he left behind his baggage and some personal effects, ncluding his diary and pocketbook. These were taken care of by the police Smith made good his escape and his effects, at her request, were sent on to her. She charges that her husband came FEast with a man whom she w 1| pelieves to be Mrs. Stanley, and that they lived for some time in Brooklyn. When she accused him of being one of the persons concerned in the Los An- ir she says he admitted that | geles affa Y he was, but told her that he was not aware that the woman was married. Counsel for Smith introduced an affi- davit denying that he had been guilty of improper conduct with Mrs. Stanle or that he had given her money and presents. it RUMORED APPOINTMENTS MADE BY THE GOVERNOR Include San Jose Normal School Trus- tees and Agnews Asylum Manager.
