lessness, was adopted by the House OF
Bishops last Friday. The deputies con-
Cured yesterday.
There was no debate on the assertion
that there was difference OF opinion
about the dry laws In the Nation,
within the church and among members
Of the convention.
The report set forth that enforcement
or the prohibition law has been steadily
resisted and has been accompanied by
graft. corruption, lawlessness, murder
and political cowardice and hypocrisy"
Matrimonial Issue Up.
The matrimonial issue was consid-
cred last night by conference commit
tee composed of representatives of the
House of Bishops and the House of
Deputies. The results were expected to
be announced in both houses today.
The committee was named after the
House of Bishops had rejected two
proposed canons from the House of
Deputies and the deputies had refused
to concur on two substitutes offered
by the bishops.
Differences Of opinion were largely
technical The deputies favor manda-
tory ecclesiastical courts to consider
matrimonial cases. The bishops would
leave establishment of such courts to
the discretion of the diocese and pro-
vide for operation Of the courts through
the bishops.
Marriage Provision Made.
The bishops demand that at least
one party to a marriage must have been
baptized. This requirement is not nee
essary In the eyes of the deputies. The
deputies list the existence of venereal
disease as an impeachment to marriage
and a cause for annulment in cases
before the ecclesiastical courts. The
House of Bishops eliminated this on the
