the Japanese have had the better of

They have done well but not well

HOLD NO HEARING.
Episcopalian Board Decides it Has
No Power 40 Pass on
Talbot Case.
NEW LAW Is APPLICABLE
Another Presentment Expected to Oh
vIate Defects of Present
One.

Reading. Pa, Jan. 1f.-An Important
chapter in the famous Irvine Talbot
church controversy passed into history
yesterday when more than a quorum
OF the board of inquiry appointed To
probe into the charges against Right
Rev. Ethelbert Talbot. bishop of cen
trail Pennsylvania. met in this city and
finally decided, after a conference of
five hours that the committee was un.
economically constituted and could not
enter into the merits Of the case thar
has agitated the church for sevcra.
years.
Expect New Prcsentmcnt.
The board simply found itself pow
erless under the existing canon. which
went into effect Jan. ! last, 10 proceed
To consideration OF the charges ante
dating it, and illegally constituted as
10 the deputies appointed from New
York. Some of the members intimated
that they expected another present
ment to be drawn up that would be in
strict observance of the new canons.
and would also contain charges other
than those based on the Upjohn letter.
The staving off of any action that
might have been construed as unfavor-
able to Bishop Talbot is due to the
efforts of Francis Lynde Stetson of
New York and Rev. Edgar \. Enos of
the diocese of Albany, Mr. StetsOn is
an attorney close to J. Pierpont Nor
gan. and is one of the most prominent
ecclesiastical lawyers in the country.
Entire Case Reviewed.
IT was learned that the board went
over the entire situation. starting with
the troubles in Huntingdon and com
ing down To the famous Upjohn letter
written by Bishop Talbot and on which
the charges against him were based.
Much interest was aroused by the
publication of the letter from Rev. Dr.
Irvine to the board None OF the men,
bers saw the Letter until they read it
in the newspapers. None of the men
who are charged by DR.. Irvine with
being prejudiced against him would
discuss his letter for publication. Their
friends. however, declare the attack
upon them to be entirely unjustifiable.
Not Ended, Says Irvine.
Philadelphia, Jan. 13.-When DR. Ir-
vine was informed that the board Of
inquiry had decided that il did not
have canonical authority To take up
his charges against Bishop Talbot, he
said that the action of the board did
not end the fight. What the present
ers would do ne said he was not pre-
pared TO say His friends he added.
