SUFFRAGAN BILL
 PASSED BY BISHOPS
Negro Question Is Settled By
 Episcopal Convention
SEAT IN HOUSE BUT NO VOTE
The Rev. Frederick Foulke Reese Is Elected Bishop of Missionary Dis trict of Wyoming After
 Frequent Ballotine.

Richmond, Va, October 1.-The suffra- house of bishops in the Episcopal conven- ton tonight This is the same bill that was passed by the house of deputies of the general convention on yesterday, thus settling the negro question so far as the Episcopal church is concerned. Suf- fragan bishops will only be elected in those dioceses which demand it. and will have seat in the house of bishops with out vote. They may. be either white or negro bishops and may work either among the negroes or among the white people. It is understood, however. that many of the dioeeses will ask for negro suffragan bishops to work among the ne- groes, these bishops being under the i'm mediate control of the white bishops of the diocese in which they work. It IS thought the negro question will not dis turb further the present convention.
 The house of bishops in private council today elected the Rev. Frederick Foulke Reese, D. D., of Christ school Nashville as bishop Of the missionary district of Wyoming, and the Rev. Henry Deane Robinson president of Racine college, Ra- cine. Wis, as bishop of the missionary district of Nevada. Both elections were agreed upon after frequent balloting. The Rev. Dr. Reese was once rector of St. Marks church, Baltimore.
 The principal business in the house of bishops today was the negro question. The house of bishops refused to concnr in the action of the house of deputies in their rejection of resolution presented by the bishops asking the establishment of provinces.
 The matter was referred to committee of conference.

from the south last night to complete mis-
plans for the opening game Of the season
here with Baltimore on April 26.
Continuing his talk about the team Mr.
Connolly said
"'rhe men are doing admirably well and
all the players showed up in good condi-
tion. They are still little stiff because
they have had practically no opportunities
for lmbering up. The weather has been

hitters, these men win probably have to
be replaced by others who can swing the
bat with some vim.
"rhe failure Of Herzog and Flint to
join the team leaves me without a player
