DEBATING THE TITLE "PRIMATE.-
An Interesting Discussion by the
Episcopal Deputies.

The reluctance of the house Of deputies
'of the Episcopal convention at Minneapolis
to alter the report of the constitutional re-
vision commission appeared again yesterday
when two committees reported against the
proposed amendments. One advised against
pluralzng the word constitution all through h
the documents, and the other disapproved
of the proposal to give dioceses under GER
tain conditions the right to cede parts of
their territory and erect therein mission
ary jurisdictions. The latter proposition, in
troduced by Judge Fairbanks of Florida, will
be p..shed, nevertheless.
Rev. Samuel Hart custodian of the prayer
book, presented a long report on the print
ing of the new edition from the standard
recently approved.
The invitation of New Orleans for the next
conVentiC n, presented by H D. Forsythe,
made the fourth one received Two mess
ages We're received from the house of bish-
ops. The first recommended the use of the
word constitutions in the plural in the title
of the revised documents. This was con-
Cured in. So to 13, with seven divided. The
second message took up subsequent sections.
The recommendation that the word conven-
ton ne retained instead of the proposed
synod, was negatived by the deputies
In the house of bishops the Joint COM
nittee of five bishops and five presbyters,
aDpoInted at the last convention to report
upon such changes in the revised version of
the Bible as might be recommended for
adoption, reported that the convention la
bored under a misrepresentation as to SINH
lar work having been undertaken in Eng
land, aid was discharged at its own re
quest
1t was decided, however, with the con-
cLri ence of the deputies, to name another
commission to undertake the work indie
pendently of the church of England Cor
stitutional revision was then taken up.
The house of deputies in the afternoon
had a warm debate over the question of
adopting the term 'primate" as the title of
the senior member of the house of bishops
a message had been received from the
house OF bishops announcing that it had
adopted section of article of the revised
constitution, with the word ''primate." and
the question being on the matter of concur
ring with the house of bishops, George C.
Thomas of Philadelphia offered an amend
rnent, changing the word "primate' to
"presiding bishop
This was what started the debate, and be-
fore it was over most of the leaders had
participated in it with all the earnestness
and eloquence for which they are famous.
1t was the greatest debate the deputies
have had thus far. and was particularly in
terestinS from the fact that many of those
who opposed the term "primate" intmated
that to adopt it would be a step toward a
hierarchy. In time the "primate' would be-
&C me archbishop and then a "patri
arch" and there would be 'archbishops in
every province" The discussion was only
brought to a close by the approach of the
time for adjournment and on a vote the
amendment introduced by Mr.. Thomas was
defeated by the close vote of 152 to 162.

THE DEFENSE SURPRISED.
Evidence They Did Not Expect in the
Durrant Case.


After wandering through a mass of un-
important witnesses. the defense in the
Durrant murder case at San Francisco yes
terday afternoon summoned to the stand
two of the most important witnesses that
have been called since the prosecution
closed it's case. One of the witnesses ma
terally aided the defense. from the fac.
that upon cross examination he failed to
give important testimony expected by the
prosecution.
The examination of the other witness had
only just begun when the court took recess
until this morning. but in the short time
the witness was on the stand ne testified to
ole important fact which was directly op-
posed to what the defense had hoped to es-
tablish.
The most important witness was Chas. T.
Lana ahan, the young man whom the defense
contends was mistaken for Durrant by
Pawnbroker Oppenheim. Lanahan. who
does not bear striking resemblance to the
prisoner, said on April 3 he attempted to
pawn small diamond ring similar to the
ore worn by Blanche Lamont at Open
helms shop. The witness said that he ask
ed Oppenheim the same questions and re-
ceived the So me answers that Oppenhem
quoted in relating the conversation he had
with the young man whom Oppenheim teS-
titled was Durrant.
Then came the surprise to the defense,
which counteracted nearly all of the
strength gained from witness testimony
the afternoon, while Oppenheim testified
that Durrant entered his shop in the morn
iIg.
Attorney Duprey was considerably discon-
ceried by the statement of the witness, and
erdeavored to impeach Lanahan's testi-
mony by reading letter written by Lana
han to the attorneys for the defense, in
which he divulged the fact that he had
tried to pawn a small diamond ring at OPP
penheims on the same day. Durrant was
said to have entered the place.
The court interrupted Duprey. however.
and refused to let him read only such parts
of the letter referred to the question at
mitted in evidence, and at the close of the
struggle over this move court adjourned for
the day.
The court refused to admit the whole let
ter in evidence, as some passa ges We're de-
voted to the expression of the writer's opin-
ion. as to the correctness of OppenheimS
testimony. The remainder of the letter was
admitted.
With one exception. the remainder of the
witnesses We're called to testify to the
previous good repute of the defendant.
H. n. f. Marshall, reporter on a morn
ing paper, testified that on April II Detec-
tive Gibson. who discovered Blanche La
mont's body in the belfrey of Emanuel
Church told him that he saw the prints of
No. shoe near where the body lay.
Durrant wears a smaller shoe.
In the case of Miss Carrie Cunningham,
newspaper reporter, who refused to dis
close the source of certain information rela-
tive to the nature of Mrs. Leaks testi-
mony, Judge Murphy ruled that the witness
was right in refusing to answer the ques-
tions. Miss Cunningham was, therefore
not punished for contempt.
