PRAYERS FOR OR, BLACKFQRK
Convention Learns that Distinguished
alcmbcr Lic8 Badly Injured as Re?
sult of Automobile Accident?Dr.
Brady Creates Sensation on Floor
by Criticising Bishops.
RICHMOND, .A.. Oct. 0.?Tho sixth
day's session of the Episcopal con?
vention was olio of intense Interest) tor
Important matters wore discussed in
both tho upper and lower houses,
while an Interesting missionary meet-1
Ing was held by tho Woman's Auxi|i-;
ary.
The most Important notion taken by!
the house of bishops was In voting
down the motion made by the Ilishop
of Albany making still more stringent
canons on marriage and divorce. The
bishops decided that during this con?
vention no change would be made in
tho canons on till:,- subject which are
now in effect.
Prayers Kor Dr. Blackford.
Hardly had the bouse of deputies
begun Its business this morning when
Word was brought to tho president,'
Dr. McKIm, of Washington, that Dr.
L. .M. Illackford, one of the most dis?
tinguished members of the genera Leon-,
vent ion, and head master of the Kpls-j
r^ipal High richool, thte church's!
school, near Alexandria, Va., had been
fatnlly injured in a motor car owned
by Deputy Robert C. l'ruyn, of AI-I
bony.
The president at once ordered that
all business cease and the prayers of
the house were offered for Dr. Black,
ferds. speedy recovery. Later In tho
day It was officially announced that
Dr. Illackford was not seriously in?
jured.
Dr. HuntingtTn's Preamble.
The entire day was spent in a dis?
cussion of tho now famous preamble
offered by Dr. Huntington, of New
York, and approved by the commit?
tee on canons.
Amendments without number were
offered to this preamble, the most im- :
porlant of which was the substitution I
of the woids: "The word of God" lit-1
stead of tho words as. offered in Dr. |
Huntingtons preamble "The record of
Hod's revelation of Himself In his
Son." I
A most spirited debate followed the
amendment which was- offered by the
Rev. Mr. Shnyler of Chicago and
which finally prevailed.
Later in the day another amendment
was carried which resulted in both
expressions being used.
Mr. Bryan's Amendment.'
Mr. Joseph Bryan, of Virginia, of?
fered as an amendment thai the words
"seventeenth century" bo stricken out
and "In the year lt.07" be inserted as j
describing the foundation of tho
church in America. A
A delegate from North Carolina at?
tempted to nmend the preamble by
striking out the words "In Virginia"
as (lie place where the church had its |
first foundation in America, Insisting
that the church was first founded In.
North Carolina in 1 r,s7. This- nmend
men) was overwhelmingly voted down
by the deputies.
Pane anH Bradv in Discussion.
Dining the discussion of the phrase
"the word of Cod." Dr. Thomas Wlson
Page, (he author, and Dr. Cyrus Town
Bend Brady, another author, took a!
prominent part.
Dr. Brady created a sensation hyj
his criticism of the bishops, nnd was
called lo order bv tin- Rev. Dr. Cms-.
C?hor, of New York.
Dr. Brady, however, was able to
continue Iiis ciitlelsm by alluding to
the bishop a.-- a "high church digni?
tary," and kept within the rules. j
Dr. Wilmer Hissed.
Tin- Rev. Dr. Wilmor. of Ocorglai
created another sonnatlon when ho
placed himself on record as being In
svmpnlhy with the doctrines of the
Bishop of Michigan, and was roundly
blived n number of limes bv certain
deputies nnd bv people who were
seated in the galleries.
At the end of the day's session, the
preamble had been so amended that
a vote was ready to be taken but on
account of the objection of Rev. Dr.
Roberts, of Fond du l.ae. Ibis Import?
ant matter wns postponed until Fri?
day morning at n o'clock, in order
to allow Dr'iluntlngton to be present

adopted by the council committee on

meeting of the committee held at i
eleven o'clock this morning.

LONDON PAPER DENOUNCES
"MISCHIEF-MAKING" REPORT
Declares That Rumor That Germany
Is to Send Fleet la Worse Than
Absurd.
(By Associated Press.)
LONDON, Oct. 10?In nn editorial
article today the TrTSuno denounces
tin rtrong terms the inischlefniaklng
suggestion that Germany offored to
send a fleet l/> the United States as a
j means of snubbing Japan and her
? European allies.
I The paper declares that the wicked?
ness of this suggestion Is qualified
only by Its patent absurdity, and says
that whether tho Pacific cruise of the
American battleships is wls"e or tlmo
ly Is doubtful, but that if Is extremely
I to be regretted that President Roose?
velt should have chosen tho present
moment to demand an Increase in
tho navy.
I "Happily, however,'' the Trlbuno
concludes "there Is no sign that Japan
wiR be moved from her attitude of
steady calm."
