Deeth and Charleston postmistresses,
and one postmaster who have handled
the tonnage, have resigned, The regu-

the threat to give up his contract un-
less something is done to end the
freight handling business into which
his contract has developed of late.
On one trip 1900 pounds was the
consignment, and 1000 pounds re-
mained at Deeth to be hauled when
the mail carrier made his next trip.
When snow accumulates in the Jar
bidge mountains the mail will have to
be carried in on snowshoes, and the
carrier figures that he will be no

time arrives.

killed by the storm and the property
loss is believed to be heavy.

barns were destroyed.
In Broken Bow the damage was
confined chiefly to the fair grounds,
where all the buildings were wrecked,

Biight Menaces Trees

San Bernardino, Oct 11-Following
a tour of the citrus fruit regions Of
Southern California, H. j. Webbey,
dean and director of the citruc station
Of the University of California, today
issued a statement that the mottled-
leaf blight, strange disease of the
citrus fruit, is the greatest present
menace of the orange industry in
California.
He sounds the warning TO the grow
ers throughout the southern and
central parts of the state to take up
Immediately the battle against the
Light.
"The San Jose and black scale we
know how to combat" declared DR..
Weber, and it has ceased to worry
the orange and lemon growers, but
the mottled-leaf blight is horse OF
different color.
"Some say that notified leaf is
caused by alkali. There can be no
question but that alkali will cause it,
but there are unqeustionably quite a
number of things that are capable
of causing it, for it appears not IN.

| those marriages are valid which are
contracted according to the terms Of
"Ne temere" decree so far as the
operation of said decree affects mem
bers of this commission who contract
mixed marriages"
Frederick c.. Morehouse of Milwau-
kee introduced resolution providing,
the House of Bishops concurring, that
a joint commission of five bishops,
five presbyters and five laymen he
appointed to report to the next gen
eral convention suitable legislation
whereby the discipline of this church,
relating to holy matrimony, shall be
plainly set forth.
Another resolution was presented
by Mr.. Morehouse asking that section
III of Canon SO be so amended as to
prohibit the marriage of any divorced
person whatsoever. If this proposed
amendment is favorably considered
and goes into effect it will mean that
divorced persons in the Episcopal
Church are to be practically excom-
municated.
If amended in accordance with the
petition presented by Mr.. Morehouse
section III of the divorce canon will
read:
'No minister knowingly, after the
inquiry, shall solemnize the marriage
of any person who has been the hus-
band or wife of another person then
living when he or she has been di-
vorced for any cause arising after
marriage"
AT present there is single excep-
ton to that canonical edict: "But
this canon shall not be held to apply
to the innocent party in a divorce for
adultery; provided that before the ap-
plication for such remarriage a per-
iod of not less than one year shall
have elapsed after the granting of the
divorce; and that satisfactory evil
dence touching the facts in the case,
including copy Of the courts decree
and record if practicable be laid be-
fore the ecclesiastical authority" etc.

House Of Deputies convened at 2:3O

at the mass meeting the amount of
morey taken in the united offering in
the cathedral of st. John the Divine,
III the morning, but the amount was
50 large that expert bank tellers who
took change of the offering had not
finished counting the huge pile of
money before midnight tonight.
The offering was so large that it
required the combined strength of
three clergymen to carry it to the al
tar after ii had been collected by the
ushers in the cathedral.

MAY ASK NATION TO
REGULATE DIVORCE

Nav York, Oct. 11-Questions of
marriage and divorce were brought
up somewhat earlier than expected
today before the forty-fourth general
convention of the Protestant Episco-
pal Church in convention at the Ca
thedral of St. John, the Divine.
These two questions involved with
many problems for the Episcopal and
other churches as well, were intro
duced before the House of Deputies
lust before the close of the afternoon
session. They were referred without
delay to the proper committees
which will report back on them to
the general convention. The partlc-
ular marriage and divorce problems
that are to be threshed out by the con-
vention sprang up out of a flood OF
memorials and resolutions that We're
"unburdened" on the House of Dep
uties from until o'clock, when
Francis A. Lewis of the Pennsylvania
diocese, chairman of the Committee
on Dispatch Of Business, announced
that the session had dispensed with
its regular business an hour sooner
than was expected.
A stir was created in the House OF
Deputies when the Rev. Dr. James w.
Ashton of Olean, N. Y, introduced res
olutions urging that memorial
presented by the diocese of Western
New York and relating to the "Ne-
termere" decree of the Roman Cath
oIic Church, be referred to a special
committee of three clerical and two
lay deputies to report back to the con-
vention
The memorial introduced by the
diocesan council of Western New
York called the attention of the con-
vention to the me temere" decree
promulgated by the church of Rome
in this country, officially declaring
tildG marriage DCtWCCSii iNOiIltH SdI-
olics and non Roman Catholics were
valid only when contracted before a
parish priest under the rules laid
down by the church. The memorial
ISIS urged that the general convention
should affirm that the marriage tie
should not be dealt with other than
as the holy scriptures and the laws
OF the country allow.
The resolution presented by Dr.
Ashton specified: The House Of
bishops concurring, that a special
commission Of five bishops, five pres
hvtors and five laymen be appointed
ta consider and report to the next
General convention on the whole sub
ieet of marriage and especially (a)
on the desirability of an amendment
Of the Constitution of the United
states enabling national legislation on
marriage and divorce. (b) On the
Grounds Of assumed authority of the
church of Honlc TO declare that only
