CITIZENS STAGE
ELECTION BATTLE
Rhode Island Avenue Group
Names |. B. Nutter Head of
School Committee.

Choice of a chairman for its school
committee precipitated one OF the
stormiest sessions the Rhode Island
Avenue Citizens Association has had in
the 90 wears of its existence at meet
ing last night In the Sherwood Presby-
terrain Church Hall. The debate at
times went beyond control OF the pre-
siding officer and finally resulted in
the reelection of Ira B. Nutter to the
contested position. by vote OF l0l TO
Is, over w. E. Rabenhorst, whose name
was brought in by the nominating ocm-
mittee. headed by Thomas j. Llewellyn.
Shortly after the results of the bal
loting were announced Llewellyn'S name
was suggested as chairman OF the press
committee and he vehemently declined
with the claim that he regarded the
associations action in defeating the
man he had nominated for chairman
of the school committee as "a slap in
the face"
Accepts Invitation.
In the heated discussion that fol-
lowed Chester r. Smith. William S.
Torbert and others endeavored to con-
ciliate Llewellyn. Llewellyn was nomi-
mated six times for chairman OF the
press committee and when the organi-
cation finally realized its efforts to
draft him were futile Nutter invited
him to serve on the school committee,
which invitation he accepted.
Two ballots were required before the
chairman of the school committee was
chosen. the first being declared void
because some members had voted by
proxy. Visitors were ordered to the gal
lery before the second ballot. The chair
man of the school committee has served
in that capacity for three years and
has also been president of the asSocia-
ton. He was nominated by w. B. Put
man.
Meredith C. Wilson was reelected
president for the second consecutive
term George S. Dodge was elected first
vice president. and Mrs, Eppa l.. Nor
ris chosen second vice president by a
vote of 90 to 80. over Mrs. Arthur H.
Fast.
Others Are Elected.
Other officers elected were: Julian r.
Belfieid, secretary: Clayton c. March,
financial secretary: Chester F. Bletch.
assistant secretary. and William S. Tor
bert. treasurer. The standing commit
tee chairmen also were chosen.
Mr.. Llewellyn and K. P. Armstrong
were elected delegates to the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations and Mrs
z. r. Kalmbact and J. A. Paddleford

ton.

laws, which are so widely and cynically
pie Of the church to set good example
Of that obedience to law without which
no democracy can endure"
The House of Bishops took up the
changes in the Book of Common
Prayer ratified Thursday by the House
OF Deputies and concurred except in
the addition of certain words to the
prayer for Christ's Church Militant
which would constitute definite prayer
for the dead. The bishops held that
the prayer Is of compulsory use in the
service and it was not felt proper to re-
quire the use Of prayers for the dead
by those who have conscientious objec-
tions to them There are permiSsive
prayers for the dead which already
have been approved by both houses.
Clause Is Eliminated.
The action of the bishops in refusing
to ratify the inclusion Of the words
Blessed Is he that cometh In the name
OF the Lord: Hosanna in the highest"
in the communion Office finally removes
this much debated clause from the re-
viSed PRAYER book. 1t was subjected to
strenuous debate in the House OF Depu-
ties before 1t was turned down. There
was a plurality but not majority vote
OF the bishops in favor OF 1t.
Members of the convention went on
a pilgrimage to Mount Vernon yester-
day afternoon.
This afternoon the children'S birth

altar of the Church of the Epiphany at

DEBATE EXPECTED
ON DIVORCE LAWS
One Faction Favors More
Liberal Code-0thers 0p-
pose Remarriage.

Although there is little prospect Of q
change In the strict divorce laws of the
Episcopal Church when the report Of
special commission comes before the
General Convention next week, a spirit
ed debate is expected
A considerable faction in both houses
favors more liberal divorce code. bit
these are Offset by those who would
prohibit altogether the remarriage Of
divorced persons. now allowed only To
the innocent party in cases Of adultery
This stand. it is claimed by some Of
the leading bishops. is in accord with
the most liberal possible Interpretation
Of the scriptursl authority. and its weak
ness comes from the fact that the
bishop, who must pass on such cases.
Is not allowed to 60 behind the actual
findings of the court
Thus, 1t is pointed out. a man who
permits an erring wife to get a divorce
with charges of desertior or cruelty.
when the real blame lies with herself

Some effort may be made to enable
the bishop to go bei1iad the actual find
irgs of the court and base his decision
on his own Judgment of the guilt or in
nocence OF the two parties.

the language and theology were anti
quated obscure and contradictory and
no longer represented the attitude Of
the Episcopal Church. The articles
were placed in the prayer book shortly
after the Reformation when, 1t Is OBJ
vious, the farmers were especially anx-
ious to differentitate their position from
that of the Roman Catholic Church,
Consequently, some of the articles can
be interpreted as based on the theo-
logical system of John Calvin, with its
stern dogmas OF original sin, predesti-
nation and election, which never has
been part of Anglican theology. The
decision TO remove them from the
prayer book passed the New Orleans
convention without much debate.
In the three years that have inter-
vened, however, the Anglo Catholic
movement has been gathering momen-
tum In the church, and there has grown
up feeling among some members Of
the evangelical wing that removal of
the articles might result In the loss of
safeguard OF the Professionalism Of the
church An2lo-Catholic leaders have
expressed themselves as not interested
in the discussion. which promises to be
the warmest at the present convention.
Prohibition Issue Raised.
The resolution introduced by Bishop
Ward asked for reaffirmation of the
prohibition resolution adopted at the
1925 convention, and reads as follows
Resolved, That facing the danger
Of the spirit of lawlessness in American
life. we welcome the renewed efforts
Of the Government of the United States
to enforce strictly and impartially the
prohibition laws and the anti-narcotic
