QUESTIONS OF

UNCONSIOERED
Convention OF Protestant
Episcopal Church Passed
Into Ills or r It'll Great
Questions Still Unsettled.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

New York, Oct. 25.-The 1918 con-
yention of the Protestant Episcopal
church passed into history this after
noon in deadlock on two important
resolutions with the most far reaching
topic of legislation unconsidered by
one house because of an error in the
other and with a positive. refusal to
consider a request of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union that un-
fermented grape juice be substituted
for communion wine.
On the proposal to establish a sepa-
rate bishopric for negroes in the South
and on the proposed elimination of the
words Jews. Turks, Infidels and Heret-
ics'' from the Good Friday collect, the
house of bishops and the house of dep
uties We're deadlocked. On the pro-
posal to require a two thirds vote to
change the name of the church, adopt
ed by the deputies, the bishops refused
to act because the resolution was sent
to them only Yesterday while it was
adopted by the lower house days ago.
For two weeks the draft of ti>is rad
ical measure lay beneath waste paper
on the secretary's desk. Its presence
there was not detected until yesterday.
In the entire membership of the house
of deputies not one man dreamed that
the resolution was not before the
bishops.
Closing hours of the convention
found it struggling today to break the
deadlock over the negro question. A

to reach an adjustment and
save the situation from being left
where it was at the close of the 1910
The convention adjourned
at 2:30 this afternoon.
Whether the house of bishops would
withdraw frcm it's announced purpose
to create a separate bishopric for ne
groes of the South with the appoint
ment of a negro bishop or whether the
house of deputies should recede from

ferred for report at the 1916 conven-
ton was the problem. {

PRESIDENT WILSON HAS
NO COMMENT TO MAKE

Philadelphia, Oct. 25.--President Will
son had no comment to make on the
Mexican situation when he reached
here today to speak at the re-dedica-
fion OF Congress hall
On the special train bearing a dele
cation from both houses of congress.
the aiexicau siElzaI LION MAS conSta6it
senator con, cha 5rnaan of the COM
naittee on foreign relations, expressed
his views on the international phases
OF the situation brought about by the
attitude of some European govern
ments with reference especially to the
sending of warships and the possibility
that marines might be landed. Senator
Bacon's view is that if any marines
have to be landed in Mexico, they
should be American marines. He made
the following statement:
The interests of the United States
in Mexico and Mexican affairs are in
fnitcly greater than the interests of
the other great powers of the earth.
The European nations are principally
concerned in the protection of material
interests wherever their subjects or
citizens in Mexico have investments or
industrial enterprises, and they natllr-
ally desire to see them protected With
them 1t is not a vital matter who
extends that protection. In other
words, they are SO far removed from
the Influences of the particular kind
of government which may have au-
thOrfty in Mexico that that feature is
not a matter of great vital concern to
them. All they wish is protection for
their property, subjects and citizens
With US, it is vastly greater and
more important interest. Our citizens
have, in the first place, more in the
way of material interests than all of
the other foreigners put together. In
addition we have great interests which
a neighbor nation must have in the
peace and good order of Mexico. These
are immediate interests which concern
the Mexican situation alone, but we
have also the further interest in the
promotion and maintenance of govern
ments Of law in all countries IN this
hemisphere. particularly those of Latin
America in proximity to us. 1t is Of |
the utmost Importance that whatever |
Is done in Mexico should have a good !
influence on all these other countries |
on this hemisphere in discouragin |
revolution and disorder, and encour- /
aging governments of law and order /
In other words. we should not, by rec
ognizing a government in Mexico |
founded on revolution and violence,
put premium on like methods of vio-

his reason the hostile attitude of the house or

house would defeat the measure. The governor
