CHURCHMEN
FOR CHANGES
MaryIsnderS Will Urge New
Plan Of Representation at
Episcopal Convention
WANT CHURCH KNOWN
UNDER TEE OLD NAME

When the general convention of the
Protestant Episcopal Church of the
United States meets next month in the
Cathedral of St. John the Divine, New
York. some of the dioceses will urge
the adoption of measure that would
change markedly the status OF the
membership of all future triennial con-
ventions.
At present every diocese is allowed at
the general convention nine representa-
tives-the bishop, four clerical and four
lay deputies. Maryland's representa-
tives, carrying out the wishes of the
last MARYLAND Diocesan Convention,
will ask the general body to provide
that in future dioceses be represented
according TO the number of their com
municants. At present, it is pointed out,
small dioceses such as Delaware and
Rhode Island have exactly the same
representation as large ones, such as the
diocese of New York
If this resolution is acted upon favor
ably it would be deferred for final de-
cision until the following General Con-
vention of 1916.
4 Change of Name Proposed.
Another topic widely discussed since
. the Cincinnati convention three years
ago, is the proposal to change the name
4 of the church. The so-called "high
\ church" clergymen and laymen are ad-
vocating the adoption of the title OF
"The American Catholic Church in the
. United States" Others urge only the
4 dropping OF the word Protestant" and
4 the retention of Episcopal Church of
the United States of America"
An important resolution to come up
will have 10 do with choosing the pre-
siding bishop of the church in the
United States The constitution now
4 provides that the senior bishop is TO be
n the presiding bishop For number of
a years efforts have been made TO sub
stitute the election of a presiding
bishop, the advocates of this arguing
that since the senior bishop is always a
man well on in years he is often handi-
capped in attending to the duties and
responsibilities of his high office. At the
Cincinnati convention an amendment
was offered providing for the election OF
the presiding bishop In accordance
with the constitution this had to &c
over until this convention.
As the outgrowth of discussion oi
this question a report became current a
few weeks ago that an effort would bs
made to choose a head of the Episcopal
Church and to delegate to him power al
mostequal to those of the pope Delaware
Episcopalians laugh at this rumor anC
point out that the presiding bishoI
4 would be reelected, provided the change
in the constitution were made every
three years.
Among other questions of Importance
to come up viii be that of providing
S5,O00.Oo0 pension fund for disabled
clergymen and their widows and or
n phans. This movement is already wei
under way, and it is understood that
large part of the needed fund has beei
subscribed.

PAROLE SON
WITH FATHER
Youth Who Assaulted Mr..
HarrlOtt Escapes Punish
ment for Attack

William Watson, aged 19 years. in
the County Court yesterday afternoon
pleaded guilty to assault. He had
been indicted on a charge Of assault
with intent to commit murder. Some
time ago while in the works of the
Joseph Bancroft and Sons Company
the young man threw two weights at
William Harriott. One of them struck
Harriott in the temple. Watson was
paroled In charge of his father.
Patrick j. Cusack and Homer H.

charge of driving off an automobile
without the owners consent. G. Dare
Hopkins represented the state and
Richard S. Rodney and James Sauls-
bury appeared for the defendants.
Max Padolsky. owner of the car
testified that on the 18th Of May, he
took his machine to the shop to be
repaired. That afternoon he went to
the shop again and the automobile
was not there. At midnight he met
Hickman who said the machine was
at Cusack's shop.
Charles J. Winners testified that
the men ran into him and his wife
and baby in a carriage and threw
them out, and then took them home.
Witness said that the machine struck
his team in the rear and had no
lights.
The defence was that Hickman was
Padolsky's chauffeur and that after
the repairs we're made they took the
car for a trial run. The jury ac-
quilted the men.
The grand jury returned the fol-
lowing indictments:
Assault with intent to commit
murder-Gennario Azzato.
