opinion Of John K. Tener, It's president.
Mr.. Tener says he believes the twen-
ty-one player limit has worked against

At Sioux Falls, 8. D., the tempera-

MAY REVISE PRAYER BOOK.
House Of Deputies of Episcopal Church
y Nav Add New Prayers.

way AOo TN0~ TVSyOTos
St. Louis, Oct, 19.-Lin8 by line, tho
612 clergymen and laymen composing
the house Of deputies Of the general
convention Of tho Protestant Episcopal
church are going over their prayer
books in an effort to enrich II to meet
demands for greater freedom In the
service. Discussion of enrichment by
the addition Of new prayers was on tho
calendar today.
The proposed changes In the main
are technical Some OF the deputies
fear that any scheme OF revision. might
involve doctrinal changes. It Is ex-
pected that recommendations Of the
commission to correct mistranslations
Of the holy scripture will be discussed
today. One proposal Is to- change the
word "damnation" to condemnation :
Women's right to be elected menu
bers Of the house OF deputies Of futura
general conventions Of the Protestant
Episcopal church was denied by action
Of the house Of bishops at the general
convention.
The proposal was killed without de-
bate. No announcement OF the action
of the bishops, all their sessions be-
ing secret, was made to the house os
deputies or the newspapers but rev
outsiders were informed that the vote
against the women was by acclama-
| ton and was almost unanimous.
Meanwhile Robert Il. Gardner. q
deputy from Maine, formerly presi-
dent of the National Brotherhood OF
ST. Andrew. who introduced the pro-.
posed constitutional amendment and
saved 1t yesterday by quick parlia-
| mentary move in the house Of deputies
by which it was placed on the caien-
car for future discussion, reported that
the movement for its adoption by the
deputies was gaining in strength.
The principal argument made in
| favor of granting women the right to
| sit as deputies in the convention Is
that since they are allowed to do
most of the work Of the church, they
ought to help make the church laws.
Whatever action the house Of depu-
| ties may take on the proposal the
action already taken by the upper
house Of the convention will prevent
the submission of the proposed con-
stitutional amendment to the dioceses.

German, Diplomats il,
Warrington Admit
Sub" bremen Is Lost

Washington, Oct. 19.-Loss of the
German submarine merchantmen
Bremen virtually was conceded today
ty ranking Teutonic diplomats in a
position to know Of the movements of
the vessel.
1t was admitted that German Off
cials not only in this country but in
Eerlin were without information as to
the fate of the Bremen. All they
know Is that she set out for America
from Bremerhaven and that she should
have arrived at an American port soon
after the middle of last month. 1t is
regarded as doubtful that accurate in
formation concerning the vessel will
be available until the close of the war.
1T then.
The disappearance of the Bremen
will not cause abandonment of the
plan to send submarine merchantmen
regularly to the United States. 1t ap-
pellred to be reasonable that another
submarine freighter, either the
Deutschland or some other, may now
be en- route to America.
German officials in Washington do
not believe the Bremen could have fall
len into the hands of the British unless
she had some accident to her machin-
cry. The merchant submarine avoids
all localities frequented. by shipping
and was not open to many risks.
The. Deutschland was week over
due when she came thru the Virginia
|capes and weather conditions were
much better than have prevailed the
last month and half.
WThop tto Provv,or NOS two rooka
overdue anxiety was apparent in vari-
GUS Teutonic quarters and word of her
arrival was anxiously awaited. Since
then hope that the submarine might be
safe has dWindled each day.

Southern Alabama and Florida Reeov.
srinq From Effects Of Hurricane.
Mobile, Ala, Oct. 19.-Southern Ala
bama and southern Florida were re-
covering today from the storm OF yes
terday, which caused two deaths and
great property and marine loss. Altho
the wind attained greater velocity
than that which accompanied the
storm last July, both Mobile and PEN
sacola suffered far less damage. The
total loss in the two cities probably
will not exceed 100000.
The chief damage here was to rail-
road sheds and terminals and to tele-
phone, telegEaph and light and power
wires. Several persons were blown
thru plate glass windows. but ESCAPED
serious injury.
Train Service Suspended.
At Pensacola the government aero
station escaped. The electric light
plant was put out Of commission. Train
service from Pensacola to Jacksonville
will be suspended for q week.
Two small vessels here sank. while
four others were driven ashore. A
mum Der Of small craft were destroyed.
AT Pensacola one steamer went down,
another is missing, with the fate Of the
crow undetermined three fishing boats
were blown ashore and two big freight
ers were damaged. A cook on the Sec
ond steamer was drowned.
Alabama Hit Hardest.
Tho the storms intensity decreased
as it swept inland, southern Alabama
suffered considerably. houses being un-
rooted and poles blown down at Opp
and Troy, while minor damage was
done in a number of smaller towns.
Standing timber also is said to have
been leveled in many places, but the
citrus fruit crop in both this state and
Florida apparently did not suffer to
any great extent.
The storm was accompanied by two
distinct earthquake shocks, which were
felt as far north as Louisville. KY, and
as far east as Augusta, Ga. The
tremors were more decided at Birm-
ingham than elsewhere and there thou-
sands Of persons rushed from their
homes and offices, but no material
damage was done.
The earth shocks were felt shortly
after 4 o'clock, and were severest in
MONTGOMERY and Birmingham, Ala.
where swaying office buildings were
emptied within few minutes. In
these cities chimneys were destroyed
and articles were hurled from shelves
in residences and shops. Elsewhere no
damage was reported.
The earthquake was felt as far
north as Louisville, KY, and east to
Augusta, Ga. It's duration was about
three minutes and there were two
shocks.
Everywhere the high winds was ac-
companied by torrentlal downpour
Of water. At Burrwood, La, there
was a fall Of nearly eleven inches dur
