DIVORCES MAY NOT WE'D
House Of Bishops of Episcopal Church
Adopts Canon.

Adopts Canon.
San Francisco, Oct. 1.-THE house
of bishops of the Episcopal general
convention by vote of 81 to 81 adopt
ed canon 3G, which forbids the mar
riage OF persons divorced "for any
cause not existing before marriage"
The latter clause refers to such
causes as insanity. inability to exc
cute a contract, the existence of liv-
ing wife or husband. or like reasons
which practically render the marriage
null and void.
This section has long been bone of
contention, a strong element in the
church holding that the remarriage
Of the innocent party to divorce
granted on the ground of intidelity
should not be forbidden The bishops
have refused to accept this view OF
the matter. The question is by nc
means settled, as the whole subject is
now to come up in the house of depu-
ties, where 1t is expected to cause a
protracted debate.
The disputed section Of the canon
rs adopted reads as follows:
"No minister shall solemnize a mar
rage between any two persons unless
nor until by inquiry he shall have sat
isfied himself that neither person has
been or is the husband or the wife OF
any other person then living, unless
the former marriage was annulled by
decree for cause existing before such
marriage"
San Francisco Oct. 1.-THE ques.
tion of marriage and divorce was be.
fore both houses of the Episcopal tri-
ennial convention. The bishops adopt
ed a substitute for the proposed canor
81, provided for the discipline of per
sons marrying again after being di
yorced. The principal change made
by the substitute is the provision thai
such person may receive the sacra.

the break was coming, but had been
informed that the rumor that the extra
dividend would be passed was without
foundation. Lawson says that he did
not sell share of Amalgamated on
account of the break, and that he has
at present more than he held at the
time of the break, and that the hold
ings amount to more than $4,000

He could not give his friends any
advance information concerning this
break, Mr.. Lawson says. for the simple
reason that he did not possess it. He
declares that certain directors and in
siders in Amalgamated affairs sold
their holdings previous to the an
nouncement of the cut in the dividend
