Majority Of Episcopal Bishops OF
the Middle West.

Milwaukee, Wis. Dec. 3--The en-
thonement Of RI, Rev. William Wal
ter Webb as bishop of the Episcopal

o'clock this morning and consumed
several hours. The large church was
crowded.
The presiding bishops. co-consecra'
tors and other prominent participants
in the ceremonies included a major
ity of the Episcopal bishops Of the
middle west. The choral service was
furnished by a selected choir from the
student body of %ashotah house, the
Episcopal seminary Of which the new
bishop Of Milwaukee has been presi-
dent for nearly ten years. Bishop
White of Michigan City preached tn"
conservation sermon.
One of the most impressive features
of the ceremony was the entrance or
the procession which came into the
church in two divisions. The pro-
cession was preceded by crucifier
vested in scarlet cassock and gilded
alb. Then came the vestry. the
standing committees Of the diocese,
and the visiting bishops. The second
division consisted OF the presenting
bishops, the bishop-elect and his at
tendants, the preacher, the co-conse-
orators, and closing the procession,
