PLAN Is REJECTED
Episcopal Conference Postpones for
Three Years Action on Appoint
ment of Negro Bishop.

New York. Oct. 22-The proposition to
create a racial bishop in the Episcopal
Church for the purpose of organizing the
negro population of the South was dis

posal by a large majority at today's ses-
sion in Synod Hall
After considerable discussion a resolu-
ton was adopted calling for the appoint
ment of a committee to investigate the
proposed establishment of a missionary
district in the South and the advisability
of having a negro bishop at its head.

phia, was today elected Bishop of Spo-
kane. The Rev. DR.. Hugh Burleson, sec
retary of the board Of missions, declined
the offer of the bishopric of North Da-
kota- DR.. Burleson stated he felt he
