o'clock tills morning in the University

gloomily after looking nt the skies, his
Instruments nnd the weather map to

say wns that It was mining harder in
the western pnrt of the stntc than here.
This Is n regular old-fashioned north
easter, with n (lftcen-inile an hour wind
driving the rain In sheets. The rain
began Inst night, continued with un
diminished vigor this morning, nnd
probably will continue through tonight
nnd possibly tomorrow.

when Clinliinnn Peters undertook to Rot

on the "pot of gold" expedition.
"I want to ask you one or two plain

want ou in answer 'ye,' or 'no.' "
"Verj well," Ansoll replied.
"You gave llenernl Harris your per

"Yen."
"General Hnrris relied upon that ob

"Did you do anything to carry out

"Well, I had Mr. (llbbnnoy conic

"I made a plan, or suggested one,
which, if carried out, would not bavo

"l in not asking you In what way
our obligation should be measured,"
Chairman Peters cut in. "I'm asking

Not a Guarantor
"I was not a guarantor or n surety,"
Ansell protested. "Many a counsel as

his conduct of a ense without becoming
guarantor for his client."
"I'm not discussing the legal phase
now, Itcpreseiitative Peters interrupt

thrusts and parries by Chairman Peters
und General Ansell. Peters finally con
cluded :
"Tlie fact remains tlint you did not
go on that trip ; you did not Keep in

know what precautions were taken ns
to the guard."
Representative Iten Johnson, Demo

though preserving his composure.
"The best-laid plnns sometimes go

there Is n performance, too.
"Am I sick of it?" Miss Stewart
laughed at the question. "Why. no. of

Dr. Toop's Committee Recom
mends Proportional
Representation
HITS TOO MUCH EFFICIENCY
Proportionnl representation caused n
lively discussion nt today's sitting nf
the l.Tfth nnnunl convention of tho
Episeopnl diocese of Pennsylvania,
whicli is being held In the Church of
St. Luke and the Epiphany. Thirteenth
street below Spruce.
Prominent lay nnd clerical delegates
tc the convention took sides In the de
bate which followed the report of the
Ilev. G. II. Toop, rector of the Church
of the Holy Apostles, chairman of tbe
committee nppnlnted a year ago to con
slder the proposal that churches be
given rcprpsentntlon in the convention
in proportion to the number of their
communicants.
Report Favors Plan
The chairman reported the commit
tee favored nmending the constitution
for proportionnl representation. He.
said lie believed an equitnble system
would be to give each church In tho
diocese one member of the convention,
nnd an additional member for every
100 commiiiiicunts. This. Mr. Toop
snld, would increase the total number
of members of the convention from
about 425 to between 4115 and 410.
Reynolds I). Ilrown, a la man, exec
utive secretary of tho diocese, nlsn ad
dressed the assemblage In advocacy of
proportional representation.
"This convention Is a partnership,"
said Mr. Ilrown, "and we should see
to it that every member gets fair part
nership privileges. This is not n gnoa
business situation nt present. I be
lieve we nre inclined to be too conserva
tive." Woodruff Opposes Plan
Clinton Rogers Woodruff, also a
prominent la) man, took a very different
attitude, lie intimated that the con
vention might err on the side of effi
ciency ver) easily.
"We talk too much about political
representation nnd business methods in
our deliberations on the affairs of the
Kingdom." snid Mr. Woodruff. "Are
we prepared to abandon a eourc of
practice which has made the diocese of
Pennsylvania one of the outstanding
dioceses In the country?"
A few minutes before the hells hud
rung noon and the convention had
paused ns is the custom for a few
moments of prayer.
"Don't overlook the spiritual valti"
in the consideration nf numbers." said
Mr. Woodruff. "Think over this mut
ter in a spirit of prner. mid think it
over well before )ou act."
The Rev. II. St. riuir llathavvn.v,
of Norristown, who has been active
ns a faith healer recentl), snid he
thought the i lunge would be lather rnd
ionl, and inquired whether it would
affect the "vote by orders." lie was
told it would not.
"Victim" Favors Plnn
Harold Goodwin, of Marcus Hook,
a member of a small congregation, ex
pressed himself as favoring tho plan,
even though it deprive him of bis own
sent in the convention.
During the morning sitting two con
gregations were voted into the conven
tion on recommendation of the commit
tee on charters. These were the Church
of St. John the Divine, of West Phila
delphia, and the Church of the Goml
Shepherd, (.nieen Lane Manor.
A proposal to change tho constitu
tion of the diocese to admit women as
delegates was adopted jesterda.v.
The convention voted for the women
by a nairow uiajorit), Rill tn 1,'U. No
sooner had victim been won by those
who favored the admission of women ns
delegnles to the convention' than the
opposition asked for a reconsideration.
Another vote was taken, but the op
ponents were unable to rally to their
side tho nceei-sary two-thirds ma
jorlty.

Had to Take Outside Work
Mr. Vinctnt's advocacy of more uni
form salaries for rectors and mission
aries carried added weight with the
assemblage through the fact that he was
one of those devoted men whose small
charge did not give him an income
sufficitnt to meet his needs in the pres

It was learned today that in addi

compelled for some yenrs to spend what i

Washington. May 4. -Decision as to
American representation nn the Allied
Supreme Council and the reparations
commission was held in nbejnnce today
pending receipt of the invitation from
tho nllied governments.
Moforo discussing the quest inn in nny
wny Stnto Department officials preferred
to nwnit the officinl text, nn the extent
of the desired American participation
in the whole reparations controversy
has not yot been made clear.
In some administration quarters to
day expression wns given tn a doubt
that the United Stute.s would consent
to formal representation mi the Su
premo Council, but it was suggested that
it wns possible an unofficial observer
would be nnuii'd to sit in nt the sessions.
It was pointed ,.ut that tlio United
States was vitally interested in ths
reparations settlement and it was h.iid
that the government d'.sirul to get all
possible information as to tlie ueces-siv-
step undertaken or contemplated.

Roland W. Mn.vdon. who formerly

s o as an indn-ntnm that he might
