PRESIDING BISHOP
MUST Be ELECTED
House of Deputies of Epis.
cOpal Church Establishes
New Rules

New York. October 23.-The house of
deputies of the Protestant Episcopal
church today established a rule that
hereafter the presiding bishop of the
church shall be elected. Under the GUS
tom now abandoned the presiding &
bishop was selected automatically for
his seniority in point of service. The
new method viii go into effect upon
the death or resignation of the present
presiding bishop, the Right Rev. Daniel
S. Tuttle of st. Louis.
The lower house adopted resolutions
placing the Episcopal church for the
first time in its history within the fed :
eral council of the churches of Christ
of America and authorized the church
to cooperate with other missionary
boards in directing the missionary
spirit and activity of the Christian peo-
pie. Both these movements We're op
posed in heated debate by clerical and
lay delegates on the ground that they
opened up the possibility that the
church would be led into complications
with other churches and might seem to
betray its apostolic adherence.
Frederic G. Morehouse. a lay delegate
from Milwaukee, introduced resolu-
tion intended to authorize commission
to revise the list of saints in the Epis-
copal church so to include among
other American personages who have
been dead longer than a century. Mr..
Morehouse made reference to Bishop
Seabury, first bishop of the church in
America. and to possible canoniZing
of George Washington. The resolution
was referred to the Joint commission on
revision of the prayer book

trouble halted the Standardization trials
of the governments largest dread e
naught, Texas, today. The breaking
of a valve stem on the forward low
pressure cylinder was the cause of the
trouble 1t will take at least two days
to make repairs.
So far as the tests went today they
were declared by officials of the board
to be satisfactory. The Texas went over
the measured mile course three times
each at 10. II, Is. II and 19 knots. She
had just completed her first run at 10
knots when the accident happened
Broken parts of the engine were
shipped tonight to the Bath and fore
River ship yards for repairs. Officials
of the Newport News Shipbuilding COM
pany said the Texas probably would be
ready to resume her trials next Sun
day.
The Texas today is the most power
full ship afloat and though other ships
under construction for the American
and foreign navies will be superior in
certain features as an "all around sea
fighter" as a member of the general
naval board declares. she is likely to
remain for several years at least with
her sister ship, the New York, in the
first line of the fleet, able to meet all
corners on even terms.

Admission. October 23.-( (SpeeiaL)A
local freight train on the Louisville and
Nashville was derailed and the engine
overturned this afternoon about o'clock
near Coldwater. w. e. Parker the engi-
neer. was killed; Glen Harris, the fire
man, seriously injured, and several other
members of the crew were slightly hurt.
The wreck was caused by the engine
running into a tree which had blown
across the track during the heavy storm
this afternoon. Telephone and telegraph
wires were all down and one of the
train crew had to walk all the way to
Admission to give information about the
accident.
Admission was in almost total darkness
tonight, the lights failing about o'clock.
Practically all the stores in the down.
town section burned candles tonight. 1t
is thought the storm put the electric
transmission lines out of commission
somewhere between Gadsden and Annis-
ton.
An excursion train was running behind
the freight which was wrecked this after
noon and this train will be delayed and
the passengers probably brought to An
niston tonight.

"The Grain of Dust

James X Hackett appeared at the
jefferson theatre yesterday afternoon
and last night in THE Grain of Dust,
a play by Louis Evan Shipman, based
ON q novel by David Graham Phillips
The play is essentially modern in
theme and in treatment. A wizard of
high finance. himself relentless and all
powerful, is downed by a young cor
poration lawyer whom he tries to ruin
and in the end is forced to plead for
mercy. The Grain of Dust" is stem
ographer employed by the firm in
which the young lawyer first wins sue
cess and from which he resigns to
marry the girl and fight the financier.
capitalistic despot, as depicted in the
play. but also teaches his wife to love
him, thus bringing about double con-
summation devoutly to be wished.
The greed of capital and the rights
of the many are touched upon. There
is a sprinkling of aphorisms slightly
didactic in flavor. But the play is for
the most part not palpably a preach
ment of any sort and is therefore in
teresting.
Mr.. Haekett plays the part of the
young corporation lawyer, Norman,
with the easy mastery that is charac-
teristic of him. He makes the char
aeter virile, strongly Individual and in
every way a dominant figure 1t is "a
delight to follow Mr.. iackett in his
Interpretation of the role. 1t is so en-
tirely within his grasp all the time.
Mr.. Hackett has the good fortune to
be supported this season by two vet
Grams of the stage who have had ca
reers of much honor These players are
David Higgins. who has starred in
many plays familiar to theatregoers,
and Roland Blackstone. for years as
sociated with E. III. Sothern in Shakes
pearian roles. II is needless to say
that both acquitted themselves well
Mr.. Higgins taking the important part
of William Tetlow. a lovable and hui
morous character well suited to him.
and Mr.. Blackstone making much OF
Timson. the butler.
In comparison with the admirable
performance of Mr.. Hackett, the wom-
en- of his company did not appear to
advantage. OF the three women taking,
the more prominent parts, Miss Jane
Burby was easily the most natural and
pleasing, as Mrs Fitzhugh. Miss Beat
rice Beckley, as the stenographer. made
the part appealing at times, but was
inclined to be rather too theatric. The
other members of the company were
acceptable in the parts assigned to
them and capably supported Mr. Hack
EFT in a noteworthy performance of an
absorbing drama.

DIR. CUNNINGHAM is
GUEST AT BANQUET
Entertained by Alumni of the
Birmingham Medical
College

The alumni of the Birmingham Medi-
cal college, some 90 members being in
attendance thereon, gave to DIR. Russell
M. Cunningham last night, in the din
ing hall Of the Hotel Hillman, what was
happily dubbed a groom fest
Dr. Cunningham has just returned from,
a trip with his bride. The spread was OF
seasonable good things and coffee was
the strongest drink served. When. the
cigars sent their cdrling smoke to mark
the camp fire of good fellowship, DIR. W.
p. McAdory gave expression to the bonds
of affection that existed between those
present and the guest of the evening.
many of whom had sat at the feet of
the doctor who was at one time a mem
ber of the faculty of the Birmingham
Medical college.
In responding DR.. Cunningham launched
upon the propaganda for the providing
of suitable quarters for the University
of Alabama free dispensary, as appeal
ing, in a personal way, to each of the
alumni. He expressed the idea that not
all the charities now fostered in Birming-
ham could compare in the practical BEN
efits, the uplifting influence from a health
giving standpoint, of a free dispensary.
properly housed. and fully equipped He
declared that all the hospitals In the
district combined could not do for the
deserving and afflicted as much good as
the free dispensary. He appealed to.
not only the alumni, and the medical pro-
fession, to give their earnest, active sup
port to the undertaking but to all the
citizens of the Birmingham district who
he declared had int l.,
serving not only the healing of the sick
and MANNED. but in the work which would
contribute to making sound healthy men
and women of hundreds of children who
were the victims of either fate, circun-
stance or ignorance. He said: Let the
light of science throw its beneficent rays
into the homes of the humble, that health
and happiness may enter, where now too
often sickness or the white plague masked
had found a lodging place.
The evening concluded with Fluctuations
by those present.
