EPISCOPAL PARISHES
URGE FAVOR TO WOMEN
Organizations in Maryland Want
Members Of Sex to Vote and
Hold Diocesan Offices.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


BALTIMORE. January 27. Two
diocese Of Maryland Nave requested
Of voting and holding office in these
the annual diocesan convention held
here this week. The requests from
the two parishes were~referred to a
committee on canons.
The act of the Maryland legislature
of 1922 granting franchises to women
in the Protestant Episcopal Church
does not automatically confer the
privilege, but only when request Is
made by the vestry of the separate
churches to the diocesan convention.
1t also was suggested from the floor
that a special committee be appointed
to consider whether the acceptance
by the diocese Of the privilege grant
ed by the act of the legislature of
1922 for the franchise Of women in
the diocese will make the old vestry
act subject to amendments at any
other time, This committee, it was
suggested, should report at the next
diocesan convention.
Right Rev. John Gardner Murray,
bishop of the diocese. in his report,
said that during the year he held 181
confirmation services and confirmed d
1925 persons. three more than in
1921, which was the banner year to
that date in the present diocesan ter
ritory.
Next year the diocesan convention
will be held in Hagerstown For the
past fifteen years the convention has
met in Baltimore.
