Or. Manning Disappointed.

There was one In particular which
caused keen disappointment among the
deputies. 1t concerned the measure for
which Dr. William T. Manning. of Trim
fly. had worked so hard, providing for
q two-thirds vote on all alterations of
the Prayer Book The bishops did not
reject this measure on its merits; they
explained that they did not have time
TO consider II.
Or, Manning was nonplussed. He took
,the floor TO remark that the resolution
had been passed by the deputies on the
fifth day Of the convention. eleven days
sbetore. 1t seemed to him extraordinary
this plea of the bishops.
The secret came out when the Rev. Car
roll NJ. Davis, assistant secretary Of the
House, arose TO explain that IT was en-
tirely his fault, that the document en-
bodying the resolution had become hid
den under a pile of papers on his desk,
and that he had not delivered 1t until the
day before to the House Of Bishops. He
expressed his great regret at having made
the blunder.
1t was Immediately decided to appoint
committee to wait upon the House Of
Bishops and explain the situation IN the
hope that the bishops might be willing
TO prolong their session to give this meas
iure consideration. DIR. Manning was made
chairman of this committee, the other
members being Dean Edmund l.. Rous-
maniere, of ST. Pauls Cathedral, Boston,
Dean William NJ. Groton, of the Philadel-
phia Divinity School; Robert II. Gardiner
of Maine, and Burton Mansfield, of Con-
5necticut
The outcome of their labors was an
other message from the bishops in the
form of n resolution with number Of
"whereases" to the effect that since there
were plenty of safeguards about an
amendment Of the Prayer Book at the
present time since the measure seemed
faulty in not including other amendments
to the constitution as well as changes in
the Prayer Book. that since It was passed
TO deal with a state Of feeling existing in
the House Of Deputies cover the question
Of a change OF name) and since it had
come too late and had provoked a great
deal of discussion, therefore, the bishops
found II impossible TO concur. etc.

Session After a Number Of
Clashes with Bishops.

Delegates Say Church Officials
Didn't Heed Requests-Dr'
Manning's Prayer Book
Resolution Rejected.

The general convention Of the Protest
ant Episcopal Church in 1913 became
history yesterday, and history Of rather
a piquant order. The House of Depu-
ties adjourned sine die, leaving the bish-
ops behind, as il supposed. to complete
the list of new missionary bishops. II
did this in the face of an unofi1cial re-
quest from the upper house that II re-
main in session to ratify the election OF
a Bishop of Spokane. to replace Dr.
William T. Capers. Of Philadelphia, VINO
declined the honor.
Something of a debate developed
among the deputies over the motion 10
adjourn until one OF them read that sec
ton Of the constitution which foroids
debate on such a motion. Francis A
Lewis, Of Pennsylvania. chairman or
the committee on the dispatch of bust
ness, had made the motion originally.
1T does seem to me-" said he, that
the situation is perfectly hopeless. The
bishops are taking a recess without con-
sulting us. They are holding services
over there to which we are not even
invited. They don't communicate with
US. make the Hotioh tho' ''N "0
adjourn sine die"
1t was then 8 o'clock as another
deputy pointed out, though l o'clock had
been set for closing time and many Of
the delegates had bought transportation
home on that basis. All the morning
the deputies, having cleared their own
calendar thu night before, had been sit
ting to receive messages from the House
of Bishops regarding the action Of the
upper house on the measures passed by
the lower. And these messages, as if
in answer TO the rebukes which the
House of Deputies had expressed on two
occasions to the House Of Bishops, had
vetoes.

COMMITTEES Shuns investigation.

Mr.. Starck went with some detail into
the extent TO which the great New York
banks engage In the underwriting or
large projects and recommended several
notifications OF the banking laws that
would restrict such activity. The re-
la,ion OF the National city Bank TO the
underwriting OF the S4i.OOO.OOO loan
obtained by the Chicago Consolidated
Railways Company some time ago was
touched on during the hearing, but tho
committee did not go into the sub
iect because Of the investigation of the
ina tier that is being conducted under
the direction Of Assistant Secretary
williams Of the Treasury Department.
The examiner told the committee,
however. that from his examination OF
the case he was satisfied that the Ma
tional City Bank had acted solely as
the underwriting agents and that II had
not exceeded its legal limit of loans
10 the enterprise. Mr.. Starek appeared
before the committee at his own re-
auest. because of testimony by Frank
A. Vanderlip, president of the National
City Bank, which indicated that the ex-
aminer's income from fees amounted TO
more than 100000 year. Mr.. Starek
said that his gross receipts from fees
was about 5000 year and that he
paid out over half of this sum for sal
aries OF assistants who helped him in
the work

He arraigned the commission bitterly
on the floor Of the House not long

tongue upon l.. White Busbey, former

secretary of the commission. He was SO
bitter about it that Busbey and the COM
mission were defended by Representative
Fitzgerald. chairman of the appropria

On the following day former Senator

which had forced the Itasca herself to
seek shelter, Capt. Berry at once stood
out into snowstorm which was hover
ing outside the bar, and proceeded to
the rescue under forced draught.
When he made the Northwestern he
found that the sea was far too rough
for lowering a boat. or even for anchor

failed Accordingly. he ran up under the
Northwestern's stern to find If the vessel
could hold on for awhile, and on being
told that it could, he Informed the captain
of the crippled steamer that he would
stand by till he had chance to get q
line aboard.
All that night he stood by without the
opportunity offering. The next morning
the anger of the sea had increased even
more. The Northwestern tore at her
anchors like stallion jerking at the
halter which holds him to the hitching
post. The ship pitched badly, and. as it
swung to the squalls, the sea preached
completely over her amidshps, only her
high bow. poop and pilot house being out
of water. Everything above the decks
was brushed into the ocean by the buffet
ing of these ten-ton pillows.
Night was coming on. and Capt. Berry
didn't care to leave the Northwestern to
herself for another period of darkness, SO
he took advantage of a momentary lull in
the storm to get line over. Stuffing a
light rope into the little cannon carried
by every revenue cutter, he swung his
vessel athwart the Northwestern's bow
and fired. The line sailed high above the
pillows. Strengthened out. and landed
across the crippled steamers rigging
The light rope was quickly hauled in by
the latter vessels crew. and with it came
the heaviest hawser that the revenue
cutter had.

when the regular steamers dared not
run on account Of the ice jams.
Similar ice conditions extended north as
far as Newfoundland, off the bleak coasts
of which some thirty American fishing
vessels were nipped fast. AS soon as
word came to the revenue cutter service
the Androscoggin and Gresham were dis
patch ed to the aid of the beleaguered
fishermen. The ships crossed the very
spot where the Titanic was later struck
by an iceberg and sank with 1900 souls
on board.
For the entire length Of $50 miles the
two revenue cutters had to fight their
way through dangers vastly greater than
tn ose which proved the undoing of the
great liner. Arrived on the scene for

two spreading streams Of oil united a
narrow. smooth seaway was opened be-

far as the eye could see the whiteca ps

seventy-two men of the Warrington
complement were taken off. The job that
three destroyers had been trying to per-

gle-handed in two hours and a half.
True to navy traditions, all the officers
STAYED aboard the Warrington. as well as
twelve enlisted men. Then hawser was
made fast to the crippled destroyer and
she was towed to Old Point Comfort with
out further mishap.
Another rescue during the same winter

daring and ingenuity appeared in equal
proportions was performed by Capt.
John G. Barry commanding the revenue
cutter Itasca.
During this gale the Itasca was search

At last Capt. Berry was compelled to

own vessel. Accordingly, he anchored
under the lee Of the land, where for
forty-eight hours the only indication of
his position was given by the lead. the
weather being so muddy that the Itasca
could easily have gone onto the beach
or the shoals without any warning
whatever.

to be given up, when the wireless
