for ten minutes in order that the eXecu- tive committee of the association, all the members of which were present, could hold a short meeting.
 Formal Demand.
 At this meeting the committee made a formal demand upon MT. Rountree Tor an itemized statement, and President Yerby brought back a report to the investigat- ing committee that Mr. Rountree had re- fused to give such statement on the ground that he was unprepared to do SD at the present time.
 Mr Judson of the executive committee, said they had asked MT. kouatree if he could furnish the statement Saturday and that he had said he could not. z Mr O'Keefe said he thought the com mitte had no authority to make such a peremptory demand, and that MT Roun- tree would make a statement to the asso- citation when it met in annual conVen- ton.
 Mr. Hildreth editor of the New Decatur Advertiser, said that a friend came to him and asked whether an arrangement could be made allowing him to go on the trip. He said further that he wrote to Mir.

I believe that when the facts are made known that they will by the final action of the associa- tion upon this matter, say that the charge made against me as to fraudulent or de- ceitful conduct toward the railroads or their representatives regarding transpor- tation is false, and that under all of these circumstances and conditions of the Canadian excursion I was entitled to such compensation as I secured, and upon this representation of facts I am willing to stand J.

EPISCOPAL BISHOP
 AROUSES GREAT IRE
THE REV. GEORGE KE5RLE, WHO TAKES A DIVORCED WOMAN AS HIS BRIDE, EXTENDED A GALL. BISHOP TURNS HIM DOWN.

Philadelphia. October 1s.--A matter that may become a celebrated case in the Pro- testant Episcopal church in America be- came public today when announcement was made that Bishop Scarborough of the diocese of New Jersey, had refused to approve the call to a church within his Jurisdiction of a clergyman married to a woman who had been granted divorce from her first husband, also an Episcopa- Han clergyman.
 The case is that of Rev. George F. Ket- tie, assistant rector of Christ church, Bal timore His wife was originally Miss Bessie Broughton of Pocomoke City, Md She married the Rev. Clarence Frank lein, in 1900, and six months later they moved to Nebraska, where her husband was a missionary Later she secured divorce in South Dakota on the ground of non support, unfaithfulness and cruel ty She then came back to Pocomoke City, became acquainted with the Rev. Kettle and the couple were married on July 29 last by Rev. Charles A Hensel' vicar of Grace church chapel, Baltimore. Shortly after this MT. Kettle resigned from Christ church. Christ church at Palmyra, New Jersey, about ten miles from Philadelphia, offered the rectorship of that church to the young rector on the recommendation of Bishop Scarborough before he was married, He accepted after informing the vestry of the church that he had married a divorced woman, but when he went to Trenton to get the ap- proval of the bishop, which Is necessary when a clergyman goes from one diocese to another, he refused Some of the ar- dent supporters of the Rev. MT. Kettle want to take the matter to the civil courts, and 1t Is said this will probably be done

 q knew that any editor who transferred or utilized the courtesy of railroad for the benefit of persons barred by the rules would violate the constitution of the as sociation and subject himself to expulsion and I was not only entirely frank with Colonel Falkner, but wished to escape any responsibility from such infraction of our rules. At his request turned Colonel Falkner with a list of the bona fide mem- bers of the association in order that he might intelligently issue and dispense the transportation. The l.. and N., through him, had always been so kind to the press of the state that could not do otherwise than afford him all the facilities and in- formation desired in the matter. I felt no such duty devolving on me as to the other roads, as their transportation was contracted and paid for on a strictly bus mess basis.
 T was in no wise responsible for the issuance of transportation by Colonel Fafl<ner to any person not entitled there- to under the rules of the association, whether he knew or did not know at the time he issued it that under said rules and the policy of his road they were not so entitled. and such members of the as- sociation as procured passes for those who were not qualified, or who sold their courtesies are the ones against whom Colonel Falkner's righteous wrath should be directed. l have preserved all the cor respondence which passed between him and me, and have 1t here. An inspection of it will completely exonerate me from any charge of perpetrating any act oi deceit or writing any line which would have even a tendency toward imposition upon him or the l.. & N. Railway com pany in the matter of procuring passes over it.
 Notwithstanding these facts, an at tempt is made to make a scape goat of me because l did not have the conductor to eject from the train persons whom I knew were not bona fide representatives of some newspaper member of the asso- citation. I did not consider that course to be incumbent upon me, and if any one had attempted it. the weakest imagina- ton could easily portray the result Many ladies and gentlemen were there with passes to which they were not entitled under the law of the association-they were people of high social and moral standing and eminently respectable in character. conduct and appearance. Was I to suppose that they had boldly robbed the editors. or had themselves guilty knowledge that their possession of the passes they held was unwarranted under the circumstances, and involved fraud against the association and deception to- ward the Louisville and Nashville rail- way? Was 1t not natural to suppose that either Colonel. Faulkner had authorized

Professor Slubbs Of the Audubon
Park Experiment Station, New Or
leans, has introduced to the sugar
planters of Louisiana a new seed
ling cane grown from seed import
ed from Denmark. A test of this
cane grown on'thc Station grounds,
gave for the new cane Ia pounds
Of finest sugar per ton of cane,
while the purple and striped canes
yielded 1ll.2 pounds per ton.
Sixty tons OF this cane nave been
distributed TO the planters of the
State. Indications are that the
improved cane will gradually super
cede the kinds heretofore grown.
As far as We know no systematic
attempt has been heretofore made
to increase the sugar producing
qualities of cane, Notwithstanding
the object lesson afforded by the
development of sugar oeets.
