SHIPMAN IS VOTED I 35 RATIFICATIONS; Diocese of Springfield, 111., I Indorses Election as Bishop Suffragan. MAJORITY ONE SHORT Additional Vote Sends Case to Bishops for Their Final Decision. DR. TYSON TO DEFENCE I Pamphlet by Honorary Vicar Is Spirited Review of At tack on Rector. Thirty-five diocesan standing com ?nittecs in the Protestant Episcopal Church have voted in favor of rati fying the election of Dr. Herbert Ship man, rector of the Church of the Heavenly Rest, as Bishop Suffragan of the Episcopal Diocese of New York, ! hi New York Hekald learned yester c'ay. This is within one of the re quired majority before the matter is submitted to the bishops of the church for the final decision. The last ratifl cation was reported from the diocese of Springfield, III., where the standing committee on Friday night voted in favor of Dr. Shipman's election. The Springfield diocese is known to churchmen as one of the three "high est"' in the country. One of the latest developments in the ecclesiastical procedure which will determine the ratification or rejection of Dr. Shipman as Suffragan Bishop has taken form in a pamphlet defence from the pen of Dr. Stuart L. Ty.^on of Princeton, N. J., honorary vicar of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. This review of the charges against I Dr. Shipman, made public yesterday, is entitled "The Case Against Herbert Shipman," and is a spirited defence of the Suffragan-elect about i hom such a controversy has raged in tnurch cir cles since his election last May. Copies have been sent to the Bishop of every diocese, to the members of diocesan standing committees and to about 500 other prominent clergy and laymen. Strong feeling has been aroused among churchmen throughout the coun try because cf what has developed ?ince the election of Dr. Shipman, ac cording to Dr. Tyson. "From all parts of the country," he ?aid, "I have rtceived letters from churchmen of every type. The burden of these letters is a feeling of deep resentment, not primarily on account of personal charges against Dr. Shipman, to muny of whom ho ta known only as a name, but most particularly a feel ing of resentment that a violation of the principlu of right and Justice is in volved. They are deeply stirred by charges which they believe unjust and false to a man whom the Diocese of N?j>v York, the chief diocese of the Epis copal Church in this country, has seen fit to elevate to the position of Suf fragan Bishop. "If the substance of these leltters Is to be trusted it is greatly to be feared that the church will be faced with a grave crisis if the election oX Dr. Ship man is not confirmed." In answering the contention raised by the standing committee of the Diocese I of Vermont that Dr. Shipman had per- I mited <l minister not ot he Episcopal J faith to officiate In his church at the ' marriage of Wyllya E. Dowd, Jr. to !| Mrs. Anna Clement Knowles, November 2 7, lt>20, Dr. Tyson submits a sworn statement from >lr. Dowd and a state ment from Dr. Percy E. Edrop who performed the ceremony, virtually clearing L>r. Shipman of the accusation against him. By request of the contracting parties, j Rev. Nathan Seagle, a relative of the bridegroom, was to have performed the ceremony In question and Dr. Shipman was to have assisted. When Bishop I Arthur C. A. Hall of Vermont called I Dr. Shipman's attention to his possible ! participation in the marriage of a di- '? vorced person, contrary to the canon law of tho church. Bishop Burch was consulted and the original plans were changed on the eve of the ceremony. Dr. SvagP withdrew, and Bishop Burch raisins no objections. Dr. Edrop, of tile Reformed Episcopal Church, performed > the ceremony. Statements from princi pals In this event gathered by Dr. Ty ?oii aure-j on these points. Marrlume 11 Uiplulnrd. A letter from I>r. Stagle, receive J after the pubi at ion of Dr. Tyson's pamphlet, exonerate* Dr. Shipman In this manner: j "Bishop Burch was Immediately toM i about Bishop Hall's telegram on the eve I of the marriage, and he decided not to : withdraw his consent, saying he kmw of no law to prevent Dr. Shipman from permitting his church to be used ny some non-Epiecopil minister. The mar riage had the approval of Bithop Burch, whom Dr. Snlpman was most careful to consult and obey at every stag.; of the affair." In summary. Dr. Tyson writes th*t *"th? general church has alleged no fault fn him whom the Diocese of New York i 1 unanimously elected ns its Suffragan j Bishop." All changes, he says, hav-j emanated from representatives of tha ' ?catholic" party. The accusers of D*. Fhlpman, gathering their evidence whi>e completely Ignoring him, continued *o ! keep him in Ignorance of the accusation. ! until they w?ie on their way to the distant Juries who wero to decide his fate, "Til every case where presumptive evidence was amb guous and admitted of cither a worse or better construe- j tlon," Dr. T.tus writes, "the former was ! adopted and made the subject of til) charge." More than one standing commltteo ] and more than onfc bishop, ho believer. I have accepted one or more of the above charges at thflr face vulue. "Finally," he add-* In support of Dr. Shlpmun, "among the many and varied charges Kent broadcast through the church not one single fart has been pro duced which w?s not known to those who elected him Blsnop at the conven tion last May."
