    CONVENTION OF
EPISCOPALIANS
OPENED TODAY
Bishop Darlington Opens Con
vention in Shamokin With
Annual Address
The annual convention of the Epis
copal Churca of the Diocese of Har
risburg opera* this afternoon in Shamo
kin. The convention was opened with
a service m "rt-inlty Church, during
which Bishoo Darlington made his an
nual convention address.
The annual banquet will be held this
evening in the Hotel Gracmar. Among
the speakers will be Madam Slavko
Grouitch, wite of the Minister to the
United States from the Serbs, Croats
and Slovenes. A telegram was received
from the Bight Rev. John Cragg Far
thing, Lord Bishop of Montreal, express
ing his regret at Deing unable.to attend,
because of illness. Captain Elliott Fos
ter will speak at tho banquet.
In his address this afternoon the Bishop
paid high tribute to the four Episcopal
bishops who died since the last conven
tion: the Bight Rev. Alfred M. Ran
dolph, Bishop of Southern Virginia, who
in 1908 represented the American Epis
copate at the Lambeth Conference in
London , the Bight Rev. Charles S. Olm
sted, Bishop of Colorado; the Bight
Rev. Fran'-is Key Brooke, flishop of
Oklahoma; and the Right Rev. James
B. Funston, Bishop of Boise.
Mention was made of the fact that
all the churches of the diocese had met
in full the assessments for the church
pension fund. The benefits of the fund
are to be enlarged at the coming General
Convention in Detroit.
Demands Return of San Sopliia
The Bishop recommended the passage
of a resolution demanding the return
of the Church of San Sophia in Con
stantinople to Orthodox Christian wor
ship. Such a resolution has already been
passed by the Church of England and
by various dioceses of the American
Church. The Cathedral Church of San
Sophia, now called the Mosque of Omar
is the historic center of Christian wor
ship.
Reporting on the meeting of the
Provincial Synod of Washington held
in Baltimore last month, the Bishop
spoke at length on the proposed changes
in the constitution of the Church. The
Episcopal Church in the United States
is now divided into eight provinces, with
out. however, any legislative jurisdiction,
that being vested entirely in the general
convention of the entire Church. It is
now proposed to give legislative power
to the provinces in order to give relief
to the General Convention. Speaking on
the subject the Bishop said : "It would \>c
an error to break away from the pres
ent constitution of the church. The
church constitution Is now patterned
after the constitution of the United
States. We have a presiding bishop,
with two houses of general convention,
similar to the two houses of the United
States Congress. Our dioceses are self
governing like the states, and our mis
sionary jurisdictions correspond to the
territories of the United States. The
moment the provincial synods are en
trusted with legislative power a new and
perplexing factor is introduced, un
known in the Government of the Na
tion. A large majority of the signers
of the Declaration of Independence, of
the first American Congress, and of the
makers of the constitution of the United
States were members of the Episcopal
Church and drafters of the constitution
of the Episcopal Church in America.
Until the Nation sees fit to depart from
what they have drafted it would seem
unwise for the Church to do so."

Stricken Out of Fox
Measure
The amendments made to the Fox
prohibition enforcement bill in the
House last week to provide for
"search and seizure" of liquors
were stricken from the bill by the

upon the Ramsey bill establishing
2% per cent, of alcohol as the limit
as an intoxicating drink was made a
special order in the House for Mon
day at 10.30 p. m.
Mr. Viekcrman, Allegheny, leader
of the "drys," backed up Mr. Fox,
saying an attempt was being made
to load up the bill, which Mr. Alex

he said he was against hypocracy,"
and thought if the poor man's beer
was taken away the wine should
come out of the rich man's cellar.
The action was preceded by
heated debate.
Series of Amendments

Showalter, Union, to restore the bill
were agreed to but others presented
■by Mr. Delshaimer relative to ex

I 1885 to 1897, and well known here. He
carried the message from the Senate
I to the Lipchiel Hotel announcing the
election of AI. S. guay to the United
States Senate.
discussion of the work among sol
diers was taken up. Plans for the
employment bureau now in opera
tion, were gone over and the place
of the Knights of Columbus in the]
great period of readjustment now
facing the eotintry, had a prominent
place on the program. It. J. Welsh,

guests will be present.
Closing sessions will be held to
morrow when election of officers for
the ensuing year will be held.
Another matter to be brought up
will he the discussion of the sacial
program recently recommended by
the Committee of Catholic Bishops.
This program is summarized as fol
lows: m
"On the grounds both of justice
and sound economics, we give our
hearty support to ull legitimate ef
forts made by labor to resist gen
eral wage reduction.
1 "A living wage is not necessarily
the full measure of justice. We de
clare that this is only the minimum
of justice.
"We stand for equal pay for equal
work.
"We ask that laws be passed to
prevent the extortionate practices of
monopoly.
"We approve of co-operative
stores run and ownd by the work
ers.
"We demand a legal minimum
wage high enough to provide not
only for present needs of workers
and families, but a surplus that
shall be sufficient for adequate sav- |
ings.
"We approve of social insurance,
funds to be provided, so far as pos
sible, by a levy on industry.
"We emphasize the right of la
borers to organize and the justice
of the collective bargaining sys
tem.
"We endorse the movement of la
bor to obtain voice in management
of industries commonly called "in
dustrial democracy."
"We deplore child labor and ap
prove plan to tax it out of exist
ence.
"We believe (looking to the fu
ture) that changes are necessary in
our social order that will result to
a great extent in the abolition of
the wage system.
"We ask that the employer re
member that the laborer is a hu
man being, not merely an instru
ment of production, and that the
laborer's right to a decent living is
the first moral charge upun indus
try. The employer has no right even
to interest on his investment until
his employes have obtained at least
living wages."

! AUSTRIAN PACT
AWARDS 250,000
HUNS TO ITALY
Scclion of Lower Tyrol De
tached and Placed Within
Italian Boundaries
By Associated Press.
! Paris, May 13.—1n the peace
j treaty with Austria, now well to
ward completion, a responsibility
I clause has been inserted identical
j with that in the German treaty, ex
cept that the first clause, providing
j for the trial of former Emperor Wll
| liam, is omitted. The remaining
i clause makes provision for the trial
of military offenders by an interna
tional court-martial.
Serious Issue Drawn
Tho frontier delimitation of the
new Austria presents the one seri
ous issue in the drawing of the
treaty, somewhat similar to that of
the Sarre Valley in the German
treaty. This is as regards the lower
Tyrol, a section of which is de
tached from Austria and placed
within the boundaries of Italy. It
includes the cities of Bozen and
Meran and an estimated German
population of about 250,000.
Gives Strategic Frontier
The reason for attaching this
German-speaking population to
Italy is the establishment of a strat
egic frontier, giving Italy adequate
protection from invasion from the
north. The old frontier ran south
of ther Alps, with Italy on the down
, grade and Austria in commanding
,| heights. The new frontier reverses
this, giving Italy the heights and all
the defensive passages. The former
status gave Austria seven lines of
approach, while Italy possessed
only one main line for mobilizing its
defenses. Tho new status places ait
, | these lines of approach under Italy.
; i Italy Wins Point
| As has been stated, the frontier
] line as drawn in the terms to be
j presented to the Austrians is the
'[ one laid down by the Treaty of Lon-
S don, although the treaty makes no
.1 mention of this facj. Italy sought
! this line as a permanent strategic
j defense, secured Its insertion in the
i armistice terms and now secures its
incorporation in the treaty.
Edith Cavell's Body
Is Being Removed to
England For Burial
Brussels, May 13 (via Montreal).—
The removal of the body of Edith Ca
vell for burial in England*will take
place to-day. Minn (,'avelY was the
English nurse who was executed sum
marily by the Germans in 1915 for
aiding prisoners to cross the frontier
into Holland.
Her body was exhumed at Brussels
on March 17 and placed In a double
coffin of zinc and oak and conveyed
to the Tir National. The body was
found clothed in a black dress under
a blue clouk, and there was a black
hat beside it. The body was well
preserved and the features were pct
fectly recognizable.
It is understood that the examina
tion following the exhumution reveal
led that the nurse's death was instan
taneous. She was struck by four bul
lets, two of which entered the right
side and two the left, one of them
piercing the heart. *
Must Have Written *
Order to Get Freight
No deliveries of freight consigned
to persons or firms of Harrisburg
and other cities shall be made to
other than the consignees from
freight stations, according to a Fed
oral Railroad Administration ruling,
unless written authority to do so is
in the hands of the local freight
agent. "Except," the ruling says,
"where the arrival notice is present
ed by a consignee known to the
agent, the form of authorization
should be required."
The ruling continues; "When
cartage c-ompanics are employed by
consignees the latter should desig
nate on the form what cartage com
pany they have contracted with, and
then the cartage company should
designate on this form a list of their
drivers, properly signed, who are
authorized to receive freight, and,
when deliveries of freight are made,
signatures of the individual drivers
must be compared with signature
shown on this form, in order that
1 improper deliveries of freight may
be avoided."
Harrisburg was the first uniform
body of Maltas in the United States,
and was organized by Captain Vorn
dran, March 17, 1904, and the Malta
flag, which will he draped In his
honor is the first Matta flag in this
