Sutfragan Bishops
WILL NOT SOLVE NEGRO PROF.
LEM. SOUTHERN BISHOPS
DECIARE AND WILL
OPPOSE APPOINTMENT

Negro suffmgan Bishops for the
Episcopal Church seem just now to
De much less desired than they were
lhree years ago. At the great Episco-
pal convention, meeting then at
Rlchmond, Va, an amendment to the
constitution Of the church was passed
allowing for their erection. Within
month the convention will be Sit
ting in Cincinnati, and the amend
ment will be brought up for ratifica-
ton. The amendment of the South
ern Bishops is bearing strongly in
opposition, and indications -point-te
a stubborn fight.
Iii the South the Bishop has great
masses Of Negroes as well as whites
among his charges, just as in New
York City he finds great throngs of
ltalans, and in Minnesota large
numbers of Swedes. The last con-
v~ntion declared that these separate
races could be best ministered bv

they hit upon the plan Of a Bishop
VINO should be under the regular
Bishop, but should not succeed to his
place on his death. Such would be
the suffragan Bishop.
Within the last two weeks, how
ever, all but two OF the Southern
Bishops have lined up against the
Negro ;suffragan Bishop. In answer
ing a circular letter sent out by the
Bishop Of East Carolina all but two
have declared that they do not think
such Bishop would help them.

Negro Victim
OF rioting demands 100000 from
Onancock, Virginia because of
racial disturbances.

'Norfolk, Va, September 1O.-One
OF the most unusual cases in the his
tory OF race riots was presented to-
day when Samuel l.. Burton, a Ne
gro, of Onancock, Va, entered suit
for 100000 against the town Of
Onanock and the Board of Super-
Vlsors Of Accomac County, in the
United States Court, for damages
alleged to have been done him in
1907.
burton says that his business,
amounting to $4,000 year, was
broken up as result Of riot which
took place at Onancock August TO.
1907, which caused him to flee for
his life.
He chargs that the authorities of
onancock and Accomac County sided
in the riot and caused him to spend
a year in Jail before he finally was
acquitted Of a charge Of murder, as
Il result of his appeal to the Superior
Court of Virginia from a sentence of
ten years in the penitenttary.
Another charge made by Burton is
mat his place was burned by either
the defendants named or at their in
stance, and that property valued at
$1,000 had been confiscated.
lie says he is still the victim of
the conspiracy, as he is restrained
from returning to his home on ac-
count of threats to do him bodily
harm
