the NJ. r.. Conference Newspaper
Denounced.

Los Angeles. Cal. May 23. - When

commended by the episcopacy commit
tee. Dr. J. X. lay. chancellor OF SYRIA
cuse, n. Y. university, was the eighth
and last bishop chosen. His election
was effected OH the fourteenth ballot.
1t is quite probable that Days election
was assisted by sensational attack
made by Hearst's Los Angeles Elk
aminer on him, which resulted in The
Examiner being prohibited the priv
ileges of the assembly, and the denun-
citation OF the story as base fabrica-
ton.
The other bishops elected are Joseph
+. Berry. Henry Spellmeyer, William
+. Mcdowell James w. Bashford,
William Burt. DIR. Luther b. Wilson
and Thomas II. Nicely.
Los Angeles. Cal. May 24.-The
most sensational incident of the Meth
odist general conference occurred in
the resignation of Bishop James X.
Day of Syracuse. y. Y. His resigna-
ton was accepted by the conference.
The conference then voted to indefi-
nitely postpone the election of a sue
cessor to DR.. Day on the Episcopal
! board. and this action was taken 70
mean that there will be no ballotng
for an eighth bishop by this confer
ence, and that the board will remain
as at present constituted.

BAR TO PUT UP A BAR.
New Rules Governing Admission
Thereto That Will Keep
Out the Unfit.
ARE NOT ACCORDING TO LAW
But the Lawyers Say the Solons Have
Been EncrOachi - Polish
Colonization.

Lansing, Mich, May 23. - Acting
upon IA resolution adopted at the last
meeting of the State Bar association,
the associations committee on legisla-
ten and law reform, through John
c. Patterson. has presented to the SUI
preme court rule relative To the adj
mission of attorneys to the bar. The
change proposed is radical, requiring
all applicants for admission to submit
to an examination before the state
board of law examiners. The present
practice is 10 permit the students from
the state university and Detroit Col
lege Of Law to be admitted upon the
presentation Of diplomas.
Idea Is to ExcIude the UNFIT.
The committee confesSes that the
present practice is authorized by law
and that the proposed rule contravenes
the statute, but it is contended that
the legislature exceeded its authority
in making such statute. Patterson
argues that the admission of attorneys
TO the bar is Il judicial function, TO
be exercise without interference from
the legislative branch of government.
The proposed rule provides measures
to discover and To exclude unfit and
unworthy applicants, and its authors
declare it would raise the standard
of qualifications of lawyers for admis-
! sion to the bar. 1t is mentioned that
there are now only thirteen states
which retain the practice of admitting
| applicants to the bar upon the pre-
spntatiOn of diplomas.
