Of Trial of Danish PreIate.
pr The Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, May 5.-The first
trial of a Methodist bishop before an
ecclesiastical court was under way here
today with the presiding bishop Of the
tribunal named in complaint charging
violation of church dogma and discipline.
Shortly after the personnel OF the
court selected to try Bishop Anton Bast
of Copenhagen, on charges OF imprudent
conduct unbecoming a minister. was
confirmed at the quadrennial General
Conference Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church here yesterday, the complaint
was filed against Bishop Francis j.
Mcconnell Of Pittsburgh, who Is preSId-
ing at the Danish prelate's trial.
The complaint, entered by Rev.
George A. Cooke of Wilmington. Del,
took exception to the manner in which
Bishop Mcconnell conducted an annual
conference at Wilmington March last,
and to his alleged approval Of the teach
ings of the theory of evolution. The
Pittsburgh bishop was quoted on evolu-
tion in a pamphlet issued by the Amer
ican Civil Liberties Union In January,
1927.
Charges Reputation Of Vows.
Mr.. Cooke charged that Bishop Nc
Connells stand on evolution was 'in
reputation of his VOWS as a minister
and in violation of the laws Of the
church. which uphold the Bible as the
inspired word Of divine truth
L. charging unlawful conduct Of the
Wilmington Conference, Mr.. Cooke
claimed that Bishop Mcconnell had
certified TO the correctness OF the con-
ference. knowing that part Of the pro-
ceedings had been suppressed. The
complaint set forth that charges had
been brought against two former riin-
listers at Wilmington for alleged vio-
lation OF church rules regarding re-
marriage after divorce. and that the
two ministers were given pastorates in
violation of church laws.
Mr. Cooke said that personal vindi-
cation entered into his action, mas
much as he and Bishop Mcconnell had
differed on doctrinal matters, since
they were students at the Theological
School at Boston University.
Not Matter for Trial.
DR.. r. J. Wade. conference Secre-
tary, with whom Mr.. Cooke entered
the complaint said the allegations
were not a matter for trial. but simply
the complaint OF a minister against
his bishop. which will be referred to
the episcopal committee" This COM
mittee deals with matters OF discipline
Bishop Mcconnell declined TO COM
ment on Mr.. Cookies allegations, other
than TO say he had received two letters
from the Wilmington minister making
accusations against him, and he sup
posed these formed the basis Of the
complaint.
The II ministers comprising the
court hearing the case of Bishop Bast
last night went into executive session.
1t was understood that witnesses would
be called in an exhaustive investiga-
ton of events leading up 10 the con-
viction of the bishop by Danish civil
court In 1925 on charges of misuse
of charity funds. and his subsequent
suspension by the church.
