CHURCH DROADENS
MARRIAGE CANON
Episcopal Convention Adopts
More Liberal Rules on
Divorce Issue.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DENVER, Colo, September 30.-T1e
adoption Of new matrimonial canon
was cited as major achievement OF
the fiftieth triennial convention Of the
Protestant Episcopal Church as dele
gates prepared to wind up their business
today and adjourn.
The canon. tinged with liberalism and
representing the first drastic changes In
the rules Of the church on marriage and
divorce since 1908, was Endorsed by the
convention yesterday. It resulted from
compromise in plans advanced by the
House OF Bishops and the House Of
Clerical and Lay Deputies.
Persons who have been divorced and
remarked in contravention to the Law
of the church are given cognizance In
the new canon. With the approval OF
ecclesiastical courts, operating through
the bishops, they may retain their COM
municant status and be admitted Il
baptism, confirmation and holy COM
munion. *
Premarriage Instruction.
The canon provides for premarriagt
instruction by ministers, who may moi

tent of the parties to the marriage

The ecclesiastical courts and the
bishops are given power 10 declare null

however, must be based on one or more
OF nine listed ifnpediments to lnatri-
mory, existing prior to marriage.
The canon also provides that the

or annulment after marriage. The in
nocent party to q divorce granted or
grounds OF adultery may be married by
q minister Of the church, with approval
Of the bishop.
Prohibition and Labor.
On prohibition and UNEMPLOYMENT
the convention declined to take decisive
action. Both the House OF Deputies
and the House of Bishops adopted q
committee report asserting there was q
widespread difference of opinion of the
wisdom and desirability of retaining
the eighteenth amendment and conse-
quent legislation in their present form
The convention, however, viewed the
question as highly controversial and
closely related to partisan politics." and
declared 1t would be unwise "to ask the
church . to pass on questions thus
involved"
Despite statements by several con-
vention leaders that plans for construc-
tive action by the church on industrial
dislocation would be great moral and
spiritual force in the present situation,
the convention drafted no unemploy-
nnent program.
The deputies, however, adopted a
resolution offered by George w. Wicker
sham, lay delegate from New York, adj
vising ministers and members OF the
church to aid local relief committees.
The convention put itself on record
as favcring disarmament and recon
f1iehding the United States join the
World Court.
A joint session Of the houses this
Afternoon for reading of the bishops

ficial meeting Of the convention.

CULBERTSON IS
CHECKED; LEAD
CUT To 1O,7O5
Cenz Encouraged as Bridge
Duel Moves Over to
His Quarters.
BY H. ALLEN SMITH
United Press Stan Correspondent

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-The great
Culbertson-Lenz contract bridge
match will grow quite lap-doggy
tonight when it IS moved into the
new Waldorf Astoria with the C1l-
bertsons still leading by 1O,7O5
points.
Sidney Lenz, who will be host
to the players from now on, let
it be known today that ne won't
stand for any "dog-goned monkey
business" from Ely Culbertson, now
that he is running things.
Further than that, Lenz said,
"therell be no fancy ceremonies
tonight before we get started. Wen
walk in there, sit down and play
bridge. If Ely wants a brass band
he can find it someplace else"
Both Lenz and Oswald Jacoby
felt slightly more enthusiastic after
Tuesday nights play, in which they
managed to stem the attack of Cul-
bertson and Theodore A. Lightner,
and even to reduce Culbertson's
impressive lead by AIS points.
Lead Once 1880
The boys were playing straight
bridge Psychic bidding hit new
low. and even though .Culbertson
and Lightner managed to boost
their lead at one stage to 1890
points, Lenz and Jacoby played
their. cards close to their shirt
fronts and captured the evenings
honors.
The Culbertson team won the first
three rubbers handily despite a set
of 900 administered to Culbertson
on a pre-empting f1ve-diamond bid
the heaviest set the Culbertson
team has taken in the seventy-eight
rubbers played.
Early in the fourth rubber Lenz
cut the lead somewhat with slam
in clubs, but set of three on a
three no trump bid, vulnerable but
undoubled, and a set of one on a
four spade bid, both administered
by the Culbertson team to the Lenz
team, boosted the margin to 1890.
Margin Pared Down
Lenz and Jacoby, however, won
that rubber and the next, slicing
nearly a thousand points off the
lead. Then LEM ran into trouble
on five diamond bid, doubled,
and was set three, unvulnerable,
putting the margin back above 49,
900. Lightner promptly went q own
three on a three-no trump bid, un-
doubled and unvulnerable, and the
score was back to 1895.
Finally, with the score at 1853
and both teams vulnerable, Culbert-
son bid three diamonds and made
five and on the next deal, Jacoby
bid four hearts, made six and won
the final rubber of the evening.
