The laws of the at the convention which was as follows: | church permit each dlocese to handle its own fund for the relief of the clergy, | though many of the dicceses turn in | such funds to the general fund, from which it is apportioned. Treasurer Van Bokkelen stated that the diorese of California did not de- sire to join the General Clergy Relief Fund, and for that reason many unjust comments had been made in the East. He quoted figures to show that it was better for the California diocese to hag- dle its own fund for the relief of the disabled clergy in its district. The committee on finance presented a memorial deploring the death of Ma- jor W. B. Hooper, who for nine years served as chairman of the committee. ‘The memorial was unanimously adopted. The committee on apportionment pre- sented its report, showing the amount which had been assessed to each parish { and mission for the support of the dio- cese and its expenses. The convention ther adjourned until this morning at 9:30. This evening the delegates will enjoy a banquet at the Palace Hotel, which will be followed by a general reception to Bishop Nich- and his wife. —_——e——————— Sproat in City Jail.
