With reference to British politics he

should be made responsible for their &C.

Mr.. Shaw strongly advocated the hold

proposed plans Of the Panama confer
ence as well as what was claimed as
the virtual exclusion of Roman Cath
olics, had created great feeling In the
Protestant Episcopal church. 1t was
stated that the high church members
were generally opposed to participation
while the low church members were
generally favorable toward participa-
ton.
The Panama conference proposed,
according to the first announcements
to be a continuance OF general mission
airy plans developed at the Edinburgh,
Scotland, missionary. conference held
several years ago.
Notices concerning the coming con-
ference read at ,today's meeting of the
Episcopal board indicated that the
Panama conference would deal largely
with cooperative plans for extension
Of missionary work in Central and
South America.
Bishop Weller caused tense feeling
in the meeting when he declared that
to participate in the conference under
present proposed conditions would be
a direct attack at the Roman Catho-
lie church and that no denomination
could attack another denomination
and reconcile it's ideals of Christianity.
The Rev. Reese F. Alsop Of Brook
lyn stoutly defended, the sending of
delegates declaring that the, meeting
at Panama would be solely confer
ence not a cooperate congress.
After all members present had had
an opportunity to state their opinions,
Bishop Weller arose again and after a
few remarks intimated that the feel
ing over the Panama conferences was
so keen in his diocese that it might
cause a break in the church. A few
minutes later the vote was taken and
Bishop Weller was the first to tender
his resignation.
