SPECIAL Meeting
ON D. C. BILL CALLED
Senators Are to Meet House Con-
ferees in Effort to Break
Deadlock.
BOTH SIDES STANDING PAT
House May Agree to Big Increase
in Appropriation.

At the request Of the House con-
ferees another conference On the Dis
trict appropriation bill will be held
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock.
When the conference committee
broke up yesterday without agree
ment, following a two-hour discus
sion OF the fiscal relations amend
ment, 1t was the understanding that
the House conferees would report to
the House q disagreement and get
another vote on the amendment,
which involves the so-called Cram
ton amendment and the present CO.
40 plan of appropriating for the Dis
trict
Yesterday afternoon, however, Rep
resentative Davis Of Minnesota, head
ing the House conferees,, communi-
Gated with Senator Phipps Of Colo
RADIO. chairman Of the conference
committee. and suggested another
conference be held tomorrow morn
ing, and to this Senator Phipps
agreed. s.- j..
!, 1t Is likely that some compromise
proposal viii be brought forward at
that time, possibly looking to an in
crease in the lump sum proposed in
the Cramton amendment, which was
intended to be a substitute for the
40 per cent of the appropriations for
the District contributed under exist
ing law by the federal government.
The Cramton amendment proposed
SS,O00,ooo.
Would Credit All to ID. C.
One proposal that will be put for
ward by the House conferees, it is
understood, is that the miscellane-
Gus receipts collected in the District
in fines. fees of various kinds, etc,
which are now placed in the Treas
District and 40 per cent to the credit
of the federal government, shall be
placed entirely to the credit of the
District. This would add something
more than a million dollars to the re-
ceipts for the District. it. is said.
At the conference yesterday the
House members insisted on the Cram.
ton plan Of a lump-sum contribution
by the federal government to the
District, while the Senate conferees
stood pat on the proposal to con-
tinue in operation the 60-40 plan.
In, some quarters 1t is held tina,
the Senate opened the way to the
final adoption of a lump-sum contri-
button by the federal government,
when 1t inserted the amendment pro-
viding $14,o00,o0o. or the 6o-40 plan
in place of the Cramton proposal
adopted by the House. The House. IT
is said. will agree to increasing the
lump sum materially-perhaps up to
40 per cent of the entire appropria-
tion made for the District.

Sentence on Retired Bishop
Deferred by Episcopal Court
Until October.
REDUCTION TO RANKS
IS SEVEREST PENALTY
Three Appeals Possible Before
Final Decision-Confdent of
Ultimate Vindication.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, Ohio. May 31.-De-
clared guilty" late today of teach-
ing doctrines not held by the Protes-
tant Episcopal Church. William
Montgomery Brown, retired bishop Of
Arkansas asserted his case was far
from settled.
II cannot be deposed," he said. and
this was supplemented by formal
notice OF appeal, nled by his counsel.
The trial court itself gave the de-
fendant a respite Of nearly six
months by announcing that it would
not pass sentence until October II
next. After that the defense will
have sixty days in which to file Its
appeal to the church's board of re-
view. Beyond that lie possible ap-
peals to, first, the house OF bishops,
and. IL deemed necessary. to a gen.
eral convention Of the church, en-
bracing the house Of delegates as
we'll as the house Of bishops.
Expulsion IL Possible.
The functions Of the trial board
will end with the passing of SEN
tence. This may be, according to
the canons of church law, either a
mere admonition, a suspension from
the bishopric or expulsion from that
body.
1t was emphasized by Charles l.
Dibble, church advocate, in his clos
ing argument. that there was no
power to expull Bishop Brown from
the church, the most severe penalty
being a reduction to the ranks. This
would deprive him of his seat in the
house of bishops with its rights and
privileges. 1t would also take away
his commission from the church to
baptize, confirm and ordain, although
the defense quoted authorities on a
contention that anything the bishop
might do In this respect would be at
the worst, only Irregular" and not
Invalid.

After sketching briefly the birth
and growth of public service classi-
1ication as a science, Mr.. Stewart
gave the history Of the Federal re-
classification movement, which, he
SAID, did not come from adminiStra

Congress. which was the direct result
OF the efforts of the Federal en-
ployes themselves, in their organized
capacity"
He stated that there existed nc
oifference of opinion among classi-
fcation specialists as to the essen
tlalS of Il scientific personal ClaSsi-
hcation, and that no recognized
authority on the subject would think
OF sponsoring or indorSing the work
done by the Personnel Classification
Board, which had disregarded the

expressed intent of Congress, and haC
substituted a salary rating scheme il
