HOUSES IN DEADLOCK
OVER COLOR QUESTION
Episcopal Bishops and DepH-
ties Unable to Adjust Their
Differences.

NEW YORK, October 25.-Closing hours
Of the general convention of 1913 of the
Protestant Episcopal Church found the
two houses of the church struggling to-
day to break the deadlock over the color
question. They had less than six hours
to do SO, having agreed to adjourn at
2:3O pm. A conference committee, con-.
sisting of three deputies and three bish-
ops,j labored throughout the morning to
reach an adjustment and save the situa-
ton from being left where it was at the
close of the 1910 convention.
Whether the house of bishops should
withdraw from it's announced purpose to
create a separate b:shopric for. negroes
of the south with the appointment of a
colored bishop. or whether the house of
deputies should recede from its intention
to have the matter referred to joint
committee of deputies and bishops for
report at the 1916 convention, was the
problem set before the conference COM
mittee.

Hope of Agreement Abandoned.

All hope Of breaking the deadlock was
abandoned at noon, when the house of
deputies without waiting for the confer
ence committees report refused by the
overwhelming vote of 81 to Is to concur
with the house Of bishops The bishops
were equally determined not to recede
from their stand. Upon learning of the
deputies action the conference committee
ceased its efforts to bring about an ad-
juStment.
On the heels of the refusal of the dep
uties to concur with the bishops, the
bishops refused to concur with the dep
uties in two important resolutions adopt
ed by the deputies early in the conven-
tion The first of these was to the ef-
feet that two-thirds vote be necessary
to change the name of the church; the
second proposed to eliminate from the
Good Friday collect the clause, asking di-
vine grace for "Jews, Turks, intidels and
heretics'' The bishops by adverse vote
killed both proposals.
After disposing of the negro question
the deputies marked time waiting for
word from the bishops that they were
ready for the joint devotional service
which would terminate the convention

Origin Of the Deadlock.

The deadlock was brought about yester-
day, when the bishops voted to establish
a separate bishopric for negroes of the
south. the bishop Of this district to have
a seat in the upper house. The house
of deputies a few days ago rejected this
plan.
The house of bishops voted that the
Episcopal Church shall sanction relisious
communities within diocese. This was
suggested in speech early in the con-
yention by Bishop Franklin S. Spalding
of ITtah. and was introduced later In the
form of proposed canaan The bishops
requested the houses of deputies to con-
cur which was done later

A fist fight between the brother OF

The gypsy customs relating to mar

New York Women in Crusade to Rid City of Rats

of all those on whom the rat is now
infiicting financial loss. They arc not
yet ready to open their campaign, but
when they are they will undoubtedly
be aided by merchants, hotel men,
keepers of restaurants, owners OF
buildings and store keepers who suf-
fer losses of millions of dollars snnu-
ally from the depredations of the TO
dents.
AS an example of the condition OF
affairs now existing one downtown
restaurateur states that the rats cost
him several thousand dollars year in
spoiled foodstuffs and the wages of ex-
terminators.
Sc rapidly has the damage which
they inflict been increasing that 1t is
now recognized that the only Efficient
protection is to be found in an organ
lied warfare which shall have for its
object the achievement of a ratless
city.
Dealers in one of the city's largest
markets report that the place is SO
overrun at night with rats that It is
necessary to turn loose the largest
possible number Of their natural enc
mics.
In the war which is now being
planned by the women 1t is proposed
to make extensive use of ferrets, since
.hey have come to be regarded as the
most effective agency in freeing the
city from the great financial loss
which the rats now exact every year.

BOY BRAVES COLD NIGHTS
Sixty Degrees Below, With Wet Feet.
and No Blanket, He Pulls
Through.

Dawson.-Old time mushers, hunt
ers and trappers up the Klondike river
are taking their hats of to Kid Cox,
the tough young bundle of muscle and
sinew, who has been taking an out
ing in that region.
All through the coolest period of the
late cold snap, when it was more than
so degrees below zero, Cox was out all
night without even blanket, robe,
a scrap of canvas or other material for
protection or shelter. He did not even
wear a parkay. The story is brought
by S. A. Ringle, who runs Ringles
roadhouse above the north fork OF
the Klondike.
Leaving Dawson in December Kid
Cox mushed up the Klondike river,
drawing a Yukon sleigh by hand.
AS the kid made his way up the
Klondike he expected to find an unoc-
cupied country for trapping, but In
Zach was surprised to find line Of
traps out and some one busily cover
ing each locality, so he turned back.
When getting toward the upper sta
tons on the way out he finally grew
tired of his sleigh. and took a little
pack of food on his back. Arrayed In
a. black suit, with black fur cap, moo
casins and mitts he defied the cold.
With only currants, a little flour, tea
and frying pan he made up his daily
fare, melting snow to drink.
Now and then Cox would knock over
a rabbit with little 20 rife which he
carried, and into his handful Of -four
would go Mr. Bunny, to vary the fare
for the wayfarer in the way of stew.
On getting back to his sleigh Cox
dragged it steadily through the deep
snow until within four miles Of CHS
holm's. There he stepped into lit
tie water, and slightly wet his feet.
Realizing his great danger should he
get badly frozen, and feeling a sharp
touch of cold, he dropped the sleigh
and hotfooted it the four miles to
camp Staying there day or two, he
went back, got the sleigh and mushed
again to camp. Finally he got to
Ringle's, put in four days resting and
then came on another stage, feeling
fine and anxious for adventure.
Cox is a short man, but muscled like
q giant.
Cox, when in Dawson, was an en-
thusiastic bowler. Those not acquaint-
ed with him would not Suspect his
physical prowess and endurance. Most
men would have frozen to death on the
trip up the Klondike had they at
tempted to go in his tracks at the
same time with the same scant pro
visions and clothing.
