EPISCOPAL COUNCIL
HAVE HOT DEBATE
Action On Anti-Catholic Resolution
Postponed Year.

Harrisonburg, Va, May 25.-The
Episcopal Council of the Diocese of
Virginia, in its one hundred and sew
enteenth annual session, postponed
for year any action on the motion
of Rev. DIR. Angus Crawford to enter
a protest against certain alleged
practices and tendencies of the Ro-
man Catholic Church of America.
It is charged that the United
States Government discriminates in
favor of the Catholics as to teachers
and methods in the Indian schools in
the West; that the Catholics do not
respect and recognize Protestant mar.
riages; that the cardinals in Amer
lea are demnding too much in pub
lie ceremonies, often trying to be
recognized as dignitaries equal to or
superior to the Governors of States,
and also that certain Government
property is being used by the Catho-
lies on public occasions for holding
mass.
Special reference was made to mass
being held on Memorial Dav near
Washington Monument After neat
ed debate Bishop Gibson was empow-
cred to appoint commission to col
lect information and report at the
next annual meeting in CharIottes-
Vile in 1913.

We, the undersigned petitioners

obadient convict,
Therefore realizing this and fee
ing that the ends OF justice have
been meted out, the said Chris
Reed having already served two

spectfully petition unto your hon
or to grant unto the said Chris
Reed a full and complete pardor
