STARTLED
BY BISHOP
ANDERSON

Chicago. Nov. Like a thunderstorm
after a sultry day the Right Rev. Charles
Palmer Anderson. bishop OF Chicago dio-
cese OF the Episcopal church. followed a
half-dozen routine speakers at the lay
mans Forward Movement banquet at the
auditorium with a bold address. proposing
changes In the canons OF the church.
He stated that one OF the purposes
which he had In mind when he began with
his plan for the present Chicago con-
ference of clergy and laity was that OF
clearing the air. in the relations between
the general board OF missions and the
Fifth district. which includes the states
OF the old northwest territory.
"Tho relations between the board OF
missions and the Fifth district have In the
past been strained" said the bishop.
The way to clear the atmosphere is 10
discover the germs of i~ncompatibility and
to destroy them.
Ever since Bishop Chase. the first
bishop of Ohio. went east as an ambassa-
dor and representative of his district, and
was opposed by Hobart. there has been
n mutual distrust between tho two sec
tions OF the country. The New Yorker
refers, and will continue TO DO 90. TO tho
wild West while we OF the Fifth district
are inclined TO turn up our noses Al the
Enete East
Nov. the trouble Is not ecclesiastical
and Il IL not geographical. The trouble
Is more elusive. II is caused by the dar-
ing spirit that led 20 the reformation and
the same spirit that gave birth 10 the
American nation.
"The representative OF the east may as
sert that Chicago is not n colony, that
there Is no taxation and that there ~
representation.
"That is as true a theory as Il Is un-
true I'm practice. The Fifth district wants
10 be n true. vital integral part OF tho
board OF missions. just a. every other
district should be.
For the accomplishment or this end
there must be I'm every district some local
authoritative organization that Is vitality
identified with the general board
The bishop then launched a proposal
which I'm short aimed at n change In the
canons OF the church. and asked that
canon 80. section u. which provides that
the general board bc authorized TO pro-
mote missionary organizations throughout
tho country. be changed to read that aux
Hilary boards may be organized In every
district that shall be subordinate 10 the
general board. but n have power to
conduct missionary work. spread the
propaganda. raise money and elect a rep
rcsentative upon the general board.
The motive of the change and its re-
suits. he urged. would be, not 20 decen-
tralize authority. but to extend the lgwer

SEND
NEGROES
TO KANSAS

Topeka, KS. Nov. Gov. Hoch and
the state OF Kansas are threatened with
n negro exodus from Texas. Gov. Hoch
has greatly offended 10 people OF Texas
because he refused 20 grant a reduisition
for Charles Evans, n negro. who is taking
refuge in Topeka. and who is charged
with assault with intent TO kill at Csld-
well. Tex.
Evans, It has been shown to Gov. Hoch.
was a peaceable and law-abiding citi-
zen and owned considerable property.
Texas vigilant committees had frequently
waited on Evans and advised him TO leave
the state.
He refused 10 go. and one night when
the committee opened Are on his house
at Winchester, Evans returned the fire
and winged one or two OF the regulars.
Then he fled TO Kansas for protection
bringing evidence 20 Gov. Hoch that no
shot In self-defence.
In due time a requisition was asked for
by the Texas sheriff. This official was
not only refused the requisitlon, but was
insulted i'm the executive office by being
introduced 10 William Fisher, a negro
messenger. who was run out OF South
Carolina when Mckinley appointed him
postmaster there.
Gov. Hoch received an editorial from
the Caldwell News today. which says that
because of the shielding OF Evans Texas
would now begin the expectation OF all
it's worthless negroes 10 Kansas. The
News says this movement was general
over the state, and that COM
mittees will be formed TO notify negroes
TO get out and 60 TO Kansas.
Gov. Hoch said today that he refused
the requlsition for Evans because he was
convinced that Evans shot in self-defenco
and that II he was taken back 10 Texas
he would be lynched or burned at the
take. Several weeks ago a Quantrell
raider, who had gone 70 Texas, announced
thai It would take the whole state OF
Kansas 20 bring him here and punish him
for the sacking OF Lawrence 10 years age.
In reply Gov. Hoch said IL would take
the whole population OF Texas 10 take
Evans back there for mob purposes. A
negro exodus from Texas TO Kansas Is
looked for.
