MAY AUTHORIZE BISHOP
OF THE ARMY AND NAVY
Probable Action of Protestant Epis-
copal Convention on Resolution
by Bishop Harding.

A bishop of the army and navy may
be authorized by the general convention
of the Protestant Episcopal Church,
which meets in New York next month.
If such action should be taken the United
States will have the only diocese of the
kind in the world.
The proposition grows out of memo
rial presented to the general convention
of 1870 which met in Cincinnati. by the
Rt Rev DIR. Alfred Harding, the Bishop
of Washington. He presented the paper
in behalf of fourteen priests of the
Protestant Episcopal Church serving as
army and navy chaplains.
Need Advice of Bishop.
1t was set forth in the memorial that
the chaplains needed the counsel and ad-
vice of a bishop: that they desired
more vital connection with the mission
airy activities of the church. and that
they hoped it would be found practicable
to make them and their posts a special
diocese. The memorial further set forth
that it was desirable that the new do
cese be composed of the military and ma
val reservations in the United States and
insular possessions and the vessels OF the
United States Navy. The petitioners also
held that the new diocese should have au-
thority to hold convocatiOns and select its
own clerical and lay deputies to the gen.
eral convention.

fession by THE Little Captain" al
legged son of P. T. Kirby who is held
in the county Jail on the charge of
obtaining money under false pre-
lenses, is believed by the police to
have unearthed plot for jail break
ing on the part of erstwhile head OF
the Life Line Mission The lad,
when queried this morning, confessed
that he had smuggled a hack saw into
the jail at his alleged fathers com
mand and slipped it under the jail
door.
Kirby, when arraigned In court
some time ago was given time to OBJ
tain counsel when he claimed that he
was not in physical condition to
stand trial, and the policee are won
dering now if he did not want time
to make a getaway SO that he would
not have to undergo the menual
strain of trial in court. Circum-
stances point to the fact that Mon
| day night he tried to get away.
| Briefly stated the evidence is this:
For short time Monday afternoon
no one was in the office of the sheriff
from which the jail doors open. Dur
| ing that time "The Little Captain
was known to have gone into the OF.
flee and out. Shortly afterward the
police were notified by hardware
dealer in the city tnat he had sold a
hack saw, Of the kind used in cut,
ting steel, to The Little Captain
During the night Sheriff Datin
heard noises in the Jail as of some
one walking about or saving and
further heard man or boy enter the
kitchen CT the sheriff's house. Sheriff
Datin went to the kitchen and the
person who had entered ran out in
i to the yard and around the Jail. The
lsheriff fred after him but did moi
hit the runner.
This morning Morriett and O'Brien
4 two Jail prisoners with Kirby, ad
mitted that the late mission head had
a hack saw and tried to saw some o,
the Jail bars during the night. Blu
the saw had disappeared and Kirb,
claimed no knowledge of it. In fact
he suffered today from one of hi
attacks of heart trouble and coult
not talk at all. Search was made fo
the saw, but up to late hour thi
afternoon it could not be found, TIL
police and the sheriff are certain
that it was either hidden about TIL
Jail or had been destroyed.
