to Begin His Life Sentence.

Columbia, Oct. 1e.--Hoyt Hayes,
whose case has attracted so much at
tension, is spending tonight in the
State Penitentiary. Tomorrow he
will begin his life sentence. =
Sheriff Moss found that he had to

Moss made it plain that there were 10
threats of lynching or interference
with Hayes and that he simply
brought the prisoner here as ne had to
be brought here anyway.
Hoyt Hayes is better looking than
the pictures of him make him appear.
He has an Intelligent face, and is
quick. Those who tried to talk with
him about the case found that be

the killing of his wife. he was a
sphinx. he will begin his life sen
tence tomorrow, and today be was
simply placed in the guard rooms.
He seems to be in good health and

BISHOPS OPPOSED 10 DIVORCE.
The Amendment Adopted to Canon
on Divorce and Marriage.

Botson, Oct. 1.-THE house of
bishops, one of the legislative bodies
of the Episcopal general convention,
today adopted an amendment to the
canon Oh marriage and divorce, for
bidding the remarriage of any dlyorc-
ed person The amendment was sub
stantially the same as that which was
rejected By the house of deputies on
Friday last. The action CT the blsh-
ops was rot unexpected, as the sentl-
ment of that BODY was we'll known.
In fact, similar amendment was
passed at the San Francisco coaven-
Iion three years ago, but failed, as
was the case this year, to secure the
support of the other house. A confer
ence Of committees, representing the
bishops and the deputies will be held
to consider the disagreement, but
leading clergymen do not anticipate
that the deputies will recede from
their vote Of last week.
In the house of deputies today a
proposed canon providing court OF
review, to which appeals may be
taken from the decisions of diocesan
courts was reported and its essential
feature adopted though several minor
provisions went over until tomorrow.
4.mong these was one grouping tae
dioceses and missionary districts into
seven provinces, each province to
have court Of its own. \ proposal
to establish court of appeals, sort
of supreme court, 80 be composed OF the
bishops of tie church, was referred
to the next convention. Among those
who took part in the discussion was
". w. Olds, Norfolk, Va.
The special committee appointed to
consider resolutions condemnlng
lyncbing presented by J. Il. Stotsen-
burg OF indianapolis, 1eporte that as
the church stood for the law and or
der at all times action on the resolu-
tions was not necessary. Mr.. Stotsen-
burg offered a sub-resolution which
condemned 1.-The brutal murder of
colored persons and atrocious assassi-
nation by hanging, burning and fend-
ish mutilation.
3 The whole matter was placed on the
calendar.
