DIVORCE ISSUE AGAIN
BEFORE CONVENTION.
Several Resolutions on the Sub
ject Went Over. The Negro
Bishop Proposition.

Boston, Oct. 1S.-The divorce issue
again came before the Episcopal gen.
eral convention today but no final ac-
tion was taken on several resolutions,
referring to the subject, which were
presented. The House of bishops sent
a message to the deputies informing
them that the bishops had voted to for
bid the marriage of any divorced per-
sons, but when the matter was laid be-
fore the deputies OH the question OF
concurrence, Rev. Drs. Lewis Parks
and ". D. Huntington, both Of New
York, Immediately set the parliament
ary machinery in motion to defeat or at
least side rack tbs Tbishop's resolu-
tion. After brief but spirited Skin
mish, the matter was referred to the
committee On canous, from which 1t
can be called at any time
During the forenoon several resolu.
ions favoring a stricter canon on mar
,iage and divorce we're referred to a
committee.
The divorce matter came to the fore
through resolution of George Foster
Peabody Of Brooklyn, calling for the
appointment of l2 members for both
houses to consider the entire question
and report to the next general conven-
ton The committee is to confer with
other religious bodies as to some
uniform standard of legislation bearing
on marriage and divorce. 1t was re-
ferred to the COMMITTEE on canons.
a joint commission, appointed three
years ago, presented al extended re-
port recommending that all dioceses
and missionary districts be grouped in
to seven provinces, each province to
have authority to legislate on matters
which do not conflict with the general
convention.
Each province is to elect prirlate
to preside over it. The report will
be acted upon later.
The house of deputies today decid-
ed to refer proposition to elect negro
bishop for the southern States to the
next convention.
A resolution reported by the commit
tee on state Of the church was adopt
ed, that a Joint commission of five
bishops, FIVE clerical and i've lay depu-
ties be appointed to obtain information
with reference to the formation of a
colored missionary district in the
south and suggest the proposed legisla-
ton to the next general convention.
The house Of bishops nominated
Rev. Logan H. Roote of Arkansas for
hihop Of Hankcw, China, Rev. Frank
S. Spaulding Of Erie, Pa, for bishop
of Salt Lake and Rev. A. W. Knight
of Atlanta, Ga, for bishop Of Cuba.
The nominations will have to be
ratified by the house Of deputies to
become effective.

ROOSEVELT FVGE TO FACE
With The NEGRO PR0BL EN-.
Private John Smith Marries Ne
gress at Fort Motto, N. J.
Claims Immunity Under
Presidents Action.

Washington, Oct. 1s.-President
Roosevelt is face to face with the ne
gro problem in one of its ugliest
phases. Private John Smith of the
United States army hospital corps,
stationed at Fort Motto, N. j., has
married a negress.
His commanding officer, Surgeon
Shallenbee, has. recommended his dis
missal. The commanding officer Of
the post refused to endose this recon-
mendation. It was approved, how
ever, by the surgeon general.
Smiths plea is that if the constitu-
tional commander in chief thinks a
negro good enough to eat with he
should not object to private in the
army marrying negress.
Smith is a white man. The war
department. is endeavoring to sidetrack
the case till after electio.
