CHURCHMEN GET TO WORK
Important Legislation Already Accom-
plished by the Episcopal Convention.

p
San Francisco, Oct. Am conjunc-
ton with the opening of the triennial
convention of the Episcopal Church Of
America yesterday was a thanksgiving
service in Grace church, at which the
missionary offering of the Women's
Auxiliary, amounting to $104,295, was
presented. 1t was received with heart
felt expressions of thanks. The ses-
sions of the convention were devoted
strictly to business. After the an
nOuncement Of the standing commit
tees consideration of the proposed
amendments to the constitution was
begun and continued with much ear
nestness until evening. The result of
the days work was the adoption of the
first seven articles which were pro-
posed in the general convention Of
1898.
The most important, probably, of
those articles was article VII, which
provides for the constitution of prov
inces in such manner, under such con-
ditions, and with such powers as shall
be provided by canon of the general
conventions; provided, however, that
no diocese shall be included in a prov
ince without it's consent. There was
no discussion upon this proposed new
departure in the United States church,
and the vote was Immediately taken,
the clerical vote In fifty-five dioceses
being so ayes and nays. OF the lay
delegations forty-one dioceses voted
aye, five no, and three were divided.
The WOman's auxiliary to the Epis-
copalian board of missions held two
meetings yesterday, the last one in the
Alhambra theater at night. 1t showed
an income in three years of $1,26O $40.

 Excellent One.

Washington, Oct. 14.-The President had quite a number of callers today. Bishop A. Grant of Indianapolis, a well known bishop of the A. M E. Church. called to express to the President his hearty endorsement of the appointment
 of ex-Governor Jones of Alabama to a federal judgship in that State. He told | the President that eX-Governor Jones in his message to the State Legislature had | said more in opposition to lawlessness and lynchings than any Goveror ever said and that in his Bishop Grant's) opinion such appointments. as that of Governor Jones would do much to better the con- ditions between the races in the South
 The President told the Bishop that he had read ex-Governor Joness message and 1t was one of the things which had induced him to make the appointment. Bishop Grant asked that the President consult several well known level-headed colored men before deciding matters af- fecting the colored race.
 The President is devoting considerable time to Investigating immigration condi- tions and today consulted Assistant Sec retary Taylor and Commissioner of Labor Carroll D. Wright upon the subject
 Representative OVerstreet of Indiana, who is very much interested in the enact ment of a law which will make silver ex- changeable with gold, believing. he says. that such a law would forever end the battle of the standards talked with President Roosevelt upon that subject. MT. Overstreet pressed such a bill in the last Congress. but it was not acted upon. He will re-introduce 1t at the coming ses- sion and hopes for favorable action.
 Senator Martin and Representative Hay of Virginia called to pay their res poets.
 The latter, who is a member of the | Military Affairs Committee of the House.
 spoke of his interest in the enactment of
 law that would increase the efficiency | of the military of the States, and met a l hearty response from President Roose- | welt.
 l Senator Frye talked to the President l about the ship subsidy bill. Mir. Frye
 has prepared a new bill, but says he will | not give 1t out until it is introduced at | the coming session. He says he does | not want 1t riddIed now by hostile crit
 ics. but is willing to receive friendly sug l gestions.
 President Gompers of the American l Federation of Labor, introduced to the President Santiago Iglesias, who is going | to Porto Rico as the representative of | the American Federation of Labor to or
 ganize the working people of the island | into trades unions. MT. Gompers desired | that Governor Hunt and other Porto Ri | can officials be informed of the legItt-
 mate character of MT. Inlesias's mission
 in order that he might not be inteIfered | with The President told MT. Gomprrs
 that he believed in the national organiza- | tion of laboring men, and that every | right of Mir. Iglesias would be protected.

 Capt T. D. Sanford, chairman, and MT. John T. German, secretary of the Lee County Democratic Campaign Commit tee for Ratification, said after the speak | ing that they were entirely satisfied with | the result of the meeting. MT. German | said that he had heard a number of men who had feared they would be disfran- chised express themselves as entirely sat isfied with the explanation of the suffrage plan by Mir. Knox and with his assurance | and guarantee that no white men would be dsfranchised.
 We felt" said MT. German, that many men from the country who are op- posed to the Constitution would come to Opelika to hear MT. Stallings when they | might not come to hear MT. Knox. For this reason we invited MT. Stallings to meet MT. Knox. Both sides of the ques- tion were discussed and we feel sure we made a number of converts"
