He stated that a | change in the name was coming whether the diocese laid particular emphasis upon the that the church was not a foundling and that the present action suggested it was without paternity. He maintained that the report upon which he was speaking did not touch the subject of change and merely attempted to correct a mistake. He informed the convention that the nick- name of “Protestant Episcopal” had given to the ch when several of the leaders had got to- gether and hit upon that appellation. He declared that he never acknowledged that he was a Protestant Episcopalian and that there was nothing in the catechism which mentioned that title. He told his auditors that if théy liked the euphonious sound- ing title they could keep it. “We never were Protestant Episcopallans,” declared Mr. Foute, “and the name was tacked on as a nickname, and if we so desire we can come out under our true cognomen and forsake the false colors under which we have be: iling Rev. F. W. Clampett, rector of Trinity Church, who introduced the amendment, fact | stated that all agreed that the legal title was inadequate and he believed that the name “Protestant”” should be eliminated. He declared that the greatest minds in the church agreed that the name should be changed and he hoped that the conven- tion would support his amendment. DISCUSSION IS LIMITED. Uponymotion of Rev. Brewer all discus- slon was limited to five-minute talks. Rev. H. H. Powell spoke against the change, and Rev. Herbert Parrish advo- ated the dropping of the name “Episco- pal,” maintaining that the term was a negative one. He thought the change ! should be made, but that consideration of what it showd be could be taken up at some other time. Rey. W uliam Shaw was in favor of changing .the name and thought the appellation “Catholic” was the best title. Rev. J. A. O'Meara and Rev. N. B. W. Gallwey spoke against the proposition and Rev. E. A.

UCSON, Ariz., Jan. 29.—The hor- ror of the Southern Pacifie dis- | aster near this city yesterday morning is growing . as tional bodies are being uncov- ered in clearing up the wreck- The dead are being slowly identified age The total list of the dead now appears to number almost forty. TRe officials here are doing their best to conceal the awful- ness of the disaster, which appears to have been due to the negligence of Night Operator Clough of Vajls Station. | Clough conld not be found. this afternoon | by the officers when wanted to testify be- fore the Coroner's jury.. The Call cor- | respondent recognized him in the tele- | | graph office hers to-v * and confronted at he had wilieatly from the officers. He re- him with the charge concealed himself fused to make any statement, and appeared to be very nervous. After the investigation held by the com- pany, at which he testified this morning, Clough disappeared and it was reported that he had left on the afternoon train for Nogales to cross the line into Mexico, where he would be safe from the charge of manslaughter, which seems to hang over his head CONDUCTOR IS RETICENT. George Parker, the conductor on the Limited, on whom Clough yesterday at- tempted to place the blame for the wreck, testified before the Coroner’s jury here to- day, and although he was very reticent and gave but little information, it is gen- erally believed that I s inn. ent of any | neglect and that he did not recelve the order which would have prevented the awful disaster. Parker seems to be la- boring under a mental strain; ccord- ing to his statement to the j he re- pted for only one order at Vails. This order instructed him to pass local freight at Wilmot. fing re- ceived no order to the contrary he sup- posed that No. 8§ had not yet reached Tue- son.

One of these, Justice W. H. Culver, appointed a députy to visit the wreck as soon as It was reported to him. This deputy caught the work train and arrived on the spot a few minutes before the other Justice of the Peace, O. T. Richey, who had missed the train and had chartered an automobile to take him to the scene. Richey wanted to be up- to-date, but Culver’s deputy arrived ahead of him. Both men summoned juries to view the wreck and the charred bédies and adjourned to meet in Tuecson. RECEIVED ONLY ONE ORDER. The general public here, far from ap- proving the dispute or taking sides, have united against the disgrace, and publie sentiment seems to demand that the fight- ing. Coroners patch up their dificulties and that they unite on one inquest. It is the consensus of opinion. that they should abide by the decision of the Dis- trict Attorney. Both juries went to the Morgue this morning to view the remains of the dead. Judge Culver's jury began their inquest at 1 o'clock this afternoon, while the other inquest was postponed until to-morrow morning. Most of the principals in the wreck testified at the inquest this afternoon, except Night Ope- rator Clough. Conductor Parker in his testimony stated that he received .only one orde from Operator Clough at Vails, which in- structed him to meet a local freight at Wilmot, a small station just out of Tuc- son. He stated positively that he re- ceived no order to meet No. 8, and, know- ing that it was late, he supposed that he was to meet it at Tucson. Charles F. Gray, the night operator at Tucgon, testified that at 11 minutes past 2 he sent the following order to Parker, through Operator Clough at Vails: “Or- der No. 6. First No. 7 and No. § will meet at Esmond.” At 2:40 a. m. Clough wired to Tucson Parker's receipt for this order and the one instructing him to pass a frefgt at Wilmot, which order had he should be ashamed of and that he was | been sent a few minutes later than the Continued on Page 3, Column 2. conginun; on Page 5, c;lun‘m 1.— + AND MANY BODIES ARE STILL BUR IOCESE OF CALIFORNIA VOTES AGAINST IMMEDIATE CHANGE IN CHURCH TITLE he Protestant Episcopal Convention Is Enlivened| With Debate by Prominent Members of on Subject That Is Agitating Sect Throughout the Country addi- | however, | | 1ast ! plained sed by the fact| Dy 1903. e S PRICE FIVE CENTS.

Twenty-three Republicans who did not join in the general caucus night acquiesced in the result and cast their votes to-day for Ankeny. Thi teen, however, declined to accept the cau- cus choice. They were all Railroad Com- mission men, nine of whom voted to-day as heretof for Harold Preston, two for John L. Wilsqn and one for Congressman W. L. Jones., Senator Moore, the other Democratic member of the King County delegation who has been voting for Pres- ton since the first ballot, going back to Senator Turner. These changes gave An- keny a total of with 68 required to elect. arly re every one the Republicans 1 to for Ankeny ‘‘ex- his vote,” and bitterness was shown by several members of the King County (Seattle) delegation ‘against the ones who broke the anti-caucus dgree- ment last night. Representative Reuben Jones of Seattle, in a prepared speech, charged that twenty-two of the King County delegation had lined up before the bar in the Supreme Court chamber with him at 6 o'clock last night and renewed allegiance to Preston’s interests and an anti-caucus agreement, but that within less than an hour thereafter thirteen had signed a genéral caucus call. His speech was a remarkable arralgnment of the thirteen King County men who joined the general caucus.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—Tn a Washing- ton beer garden stands the magnificent sldeboard which the young women of Cin- cinnati gave to Mrs. Lucy Webb Hay when she was mistress of the White House as a token of their approval of her action in barring wine from the menu of the Presidential dinner. The sideboard, which remalned wineless during the Hayes administration, is now filled with syphons, decanters and liquor bottles. On the top shelf Is a row of fine old German beer steins. ‘This sideboard was put up at an aliction of discarded White House furniture last week and was knocked down to the pro- prietor of a beer garden for 355, which 1s much less than the material cost the young women of Cincinnati, who did the inlald work themselves. Mrs. Bellamy Storer, wife of the Embassador to Aus- tria, and Mrs. Willlam Taft, wife of the Governor of the Philippines, both then unmarried, were among those who con- tributed to the decorative work.

One is a Catholic i stitution and the other Protestant, but I know no distinction between such ef- forts and they shall receive encourage- ment and assistance.” Lord Cromer spoke at length on the recent material, moral and intellect- ual improvement of the Soudan, and held out the hope of early railway communi cation with Suakim, which would open the Soudan provinces to the world's trade, | He sald there was a prospect of finding coal in the region south of Khartoum, which in the circumstances was more valuable than gold.
