ENDS IN A DEADLOCK.
Episcopal Convention Closes With
Much Business Unsettled.

New York, Oct. 25.-The general
convention of 1913 of the Protestant
Episcopal church passed into history
this afternoon in hopeless deadlock on
two important resolutions with the
most far reaching topic of legislation
before it unconsidered by one house
because of an error in the other, and
with a positive refusal to consider a
request of the WomanS Christian
Temperance union that unfermented
grape juice be substituted for wine in
On the proposal to establish a sep
arate bishopric for negroes in the
south, and on the proposed elimination
of the words Jews, Turks, infidels and
heretics' from the Good Friday col
lect, the house of bishops and the
house of deputies were deadlocked- On
the proposal to require a two-thirGs
vote to change the name of the church,
adopted 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
more than two weeks ago.
For two weeks the draft of this rad
zeal measure lay at the bottom of
pile of waste paper on the secretary's
desk. Its presence there was not de-
tected until yesterday. In the entire
membership of the house of deputies not
one man dreamed that the resolution
was not before the bishops for action.

Another of Kansas Oldest Set
tiers Passes Away.
C. f. Hardick, Aged 81, Dies ut
the Home of His Son.

c. F. Hardick, 81 years of age, died
at the home of his son, Willis Hardick,
who lives six miles north of Topeka,
Friday evening. Mr.. Hardick was one
of the old settlers of Kansas and was
we'll known over the central part of
the state. He was born at Waterford,
New York, February 9, 1922. He
came to Kansas in 1879 and settled
near Wamego. At numerous times he
was connected with local politics at
that place and in 1891 he was a mem
Der of the state legislature.
He came to Topeka in 1903 where
he resided until the time of his death.
He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Har-
riet Hardick, one son. Willis Hardick
and eleven grandchildren.
Mr.. Hardick was one of the first
men to break into the sheep business
in Kansas. He brought the first pure
bred Shropshires to this state from
his farm in New York. Sheep raising
at that time in the state was carried
on under great difficulties the cattle
men and sheep men were continually
at war.
Up until two years before his death
he was in good health and often made
the remark that he was as hale and
hearty as a boy. The funeral will be
held Sunday at the home of his son.
The body will be taken to Wamego
for burial.
