CHURCH WAR GROWS BITTER
Trustees Refuse To Be Voted
Out of Office.

New features have been added TO the
factionaI war raging IN the Holy Rood
Protestant Episcopal Church at Broadway
and 1Slst street, of which the Rev. Stuart
Crockett is rector The women Of the
church, or some of them. led by Mrs. Z.
Shepherd, a member of the Women S
Guild. want to vote in the conduct of the
church affairs. and the trustees are re-
fusing to take seriously vote taken at
a recent meeting by which they were de-
clared out of Office.
For some time the rector and the trus-
tees have been at swords points open
rupture came a few months ago when DR..
Crockett closed to the public the church
lawn, which had been used as park for
the children and adults of the neighbor-
hood.
4 meeting was held in the parish house
recently and was attended by thtrty-eight
Of the 440 members Of the congregation.
During the meetings, at which the Rev.
DR.. George F. Nelson, archdeacon Of the
New York Diocese, represented Bishop
Greer, by vote of thirty-siX to two it
was decided to abolish the board OF trus-
tees to leave the way open for the naming
OF wardens and vestrymen, and Mrs. Shep-
herd made a speech demanding votes for
women.
Reginald p Bolton, one of the leaders
among the trustees, says the meeting was
unconstitutional, as all the trustees and
members of the congregation were not
asked to be present. Therefore tine trus-
tees still continue to defy DR.. Crockett.
Women are not allowed TO vote in the
Protestant Episcopal Church.
