Evanston Minister Elected
Assistant to Bishop Nor
rison at Davenport Meet
ing; Mahon on Committee

Davenport, May 21.-Dr. H. s

suffragan bishop of the Episcopal dio
cese of Iowa at this mornings ses
sion of the churches sixteenth annual
convention. Rev. Longley was chosen
on the sixth ballot.
He secured 21 clerical and SIS lay
votes. The number necessary to elect
was 19 clerical and 46 lay votes.
AS suffragan he will assist Bishop
T. N. Morrison of Davenport In the
administration of the Iowa dtoceses
but will not have the right OF success
sion without election should his super
ior die. Nor will he have seat in the
American house Of bishops.
1t was decided to choose suffragan
bishop rather than coadjutor who
would have had the right of success
sion. This was Bishop Morrison's
recommendation, though he declared
himself willing to have a coadJutor If
the convention thought best.
His place Of residence will be design
ated by Bishop Morrison and a COM
mittee chosen for that purpose.
The Episcopalans will join the
church federation which will include
seven denominations in the state, ac-
cording to vote of the convention
now in session here. The matter oc-
casioned considerable discussion but
the vote was unannounced. Bishop
Morrison was authorized to appoint
two delegates to the federation.
The convention next year will be
held in Burlington, the date being
fixed as May 19.
The standing committee for the year
was chosen as follows:
Rev. George w. Hinkle, Waterloo;
Rev. w. T. Jackson, Mt. Pleasant;
Rev. E. H. Rudd Fort Madison; ]. J.
Davenport; Major Samuel
Ottumwa; George F. Henry,
Des Moines, and S. P. Bawden, Day.
EXPORT.
The convention unanimously de-
cided to grant the request Of Bishop
Morrison that suffragan bishop be
appointed and it was decided to take
up the election of such bishop at
today's session.
The decision to elect suffragan
bishop was preceded by lively dis
some delegates preferring the
of a coadjutor to Bishop
but the predominating SEN
timents In favor of suffragan were
80 strong that practically the whole
was won over for the lat
er plan.
Among the clergymen prominently
mentioned for suffragan are Rev. John
Sage, of St. Luke's church, Keokuk;
Dr. w. R. Williams, of Iowa City;
Rev. John Arthur, Of Grace church,
Cedar Rapids; Rev. Ralph P. Smith,
If St. Pauls church, Sioux City; Rev.

SELECT JURY FOR
ROWLAND CASE

Davenport, May 21.-Little trouble
was experienced from the start in Sc
curing @ jury for the trial Of Clayton
Rowland, another Of the Muscatine
union men, charged with conspiracy TN
connection with throwing acid bombs
Two men, who said they had been con-
nected with unions were discharged.
Few questions were asked either by
the attorneys for the state or those
for the defense. The questions Of the
latter tended to impress the prospec-
tive jurymen with the necessity Of en-
tering on hearing of the case with
unbiased minds. One man said he had
been approached by a Davenport labor
leader and sounded as to his views on
the situation.
The disposition Of the Emmett Floor
case caused considerable discussion
among the attorneys for the state. 1t is
claimed that county attorney Tho1np-
son Of Muscatine was in favor Of dis
the action against the Chicago
labor leader but some Of his associates
protested and desired that Flood be
held for trial.

TW0-THIRDS OF
CORN CROP IN

Des Moines, May 21.-For the week
ending May 10, 1912:
The weather was cool, and cloudy,
with a decided deficiency in the rain
fall. There was, however, consider
able excess of moisture in the south
ern and central districts, caused by
heavy rains near the close Of the
preceding week which retarded corn
planting for several days. Light to
heavy frosts occurred on two or
three mornings in all parts of the
state, with freezing temperature In
many locations on the 14th. The
frosts did little or no damage to
fruit, but tender garden stuff was
slightly injured on low ground. The
termination Of corn was, however,
retarded and in a few places the
seed is reported to have rotted in
the ground. Fair progress was
made in planting corn during the
latter half of the week, but only
about two-thirds of the crop is in.
Some of the early planted corn is up
and shows fairly good stand. All
of the early and some Of the late
potatoes have been planted. Spring
seeding of grass and clover is in
prime condition. Pastures and
meadows are making good growth,
and small grain crops are doing we'll
Cherries are not setting as we'll as
indicated by the heavy bloom. Plums
give promise Of full crop, and applies
are setting fairly well considering
the small amount of bloom. Generally
the crop conditions are fairly good,
needing higher temperatures and oc-
casionall warm rains to make the cut
look bright and satisfactory.
