PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 28. There -will be no hearing of the charges against Plshop -Etiiolbort Talbot, of the diocese of I'ontral Pennsylvania, by .the- court recent ly appointed by Bishop Tuttle. according to churchmen who are well posted In the anonlcaT laws of the Episcopal Church. A complication lias developed which they py wIU put a stop effectually to the pro ceedings of the court of inquiry as now constituted. The trouble comes from a recent change in the canons of the church regarding the appointment of a court of that nature. The first intimation of the trouble comes In the shape of an editorial in the Church Standard, the oldest organ of the church in this country. In .the issue of the Stand ard, which will appear tomorrow. Rev. Dr. John Fulton, the editor, saye in refer ence to tho Irvine-Talbot case that the presiding bishop' has constituted the board of inquiry tinder a canon, which was su perseded by a new canon of tho late gen eral convention. Tho new canon will come into operation en January 1, 1905. The board if inquiry is oallod to meot on January 10. and when it does meot on that day it will not be constituted as the new canon requires. It will therefore have no .power to proceed with the inquiry for which it is called. Rev. Dr. tv. B. Bodine. who will be the chairman of the committee on Inquiry, in an interview tonight considers very im portant the conclusions of Dr. Fulton. Dr. Bodine explained that under the canon which expires on January 1 a court of In quiry is composed of 16 members. The new canon provides for a court, or board, consisting of only ten members. These must be appointed by certain bishops de signated by the canon. As the new canon Is not yet In force, no court can be chosen tinder its provisions and one chosen now to comply with it would, it is claimed, have no legal existence now. or at any other time. Men vereed In church law say the only course open Is to let the present court meet on the date named. It can then decide that it rto longer has Jurisdiction in such matters and refer the matter back to Bishop TuAle. the presiding bishop, for further action. The mistake, or oversight, arose, it is said, because the movement to procure a presentment against Bishop Talbot was begun last August and those who had it in hand failed to tnke cognizance of the change in the canonical law when it was made at the 1b general convention. DR. DIX HAS DECLINED. Too III to Preside at B3hop' Talbot Investigation. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 28. Rev. Dr. W. B. Bodine. of this city, who will preside at thr -inquiry into the charges of Rev. Ingraham Irvine against Bishop Ethel bert Talbot, of the Central Pennsylvania diocese of the Protestant Episcopal "hurch. announced tonight that he had received the presentment, and that it will not be made public. He also said he had received a letter from Rev. Dr. Morgan Dlx, of New York, who declined to pre side at the inquiry, owine to ill-health. Dr. Bodine said that it Is probable that a quorum of the committee will not be In readiness on January .ao, when the first session is io do now. and In that event the opening session will have to be postponed. Dr. Bodine fuchcr said that the com mittee of Inquiry can do but one thing, and that Is to decide whether the case-is big enough to go to the church for trial. BiBhops Have Been Summoned. NEW YORK. Dec. 2S. Bishop Tuttle. the presiding member of the house of blfhops of the Protestant Episcopal Church, has not yet selected a clerical Timber of the board -of inquiry that is to hear the case against Bishop Talbot, of t cntrai Pennsylvania, in place of Rev Dr. Morgan Dlx, of this city.

PITTSBURG, Paj. Dec. 2S.

New York Chemical Company Dis claims Knowledge of Mrs. Bouton. COLORADO SPRINGS. Colo., Dec. 2S. What was depended upon as one of the strongest sources of Information on what has become of Mrs. Bessie Bouton, the supposed victim of the Cutler Mountain tragedy, resulted this morn ing In a setback to the Investigation when a telegram was received from New York, purporting to come from the J. Parker Pray Chemical Manufac turing Company, for whom Mrs. Bou ton claimed to be a traveling represen tative, stating that this firm had no such agent on the road. Chief of Police Reynolds Is not satis fied with this telegram, however, and has wired to New York again, asking for further particulars as to the move ments of Mrs. Bouton, basing his re peated inquiry on the fact that Mrs. Anna Bethman, a local hairdresser, or dered tho goods through Mrs. Bouton from this firm, and received tho goods, delivery being in the regular course, with the chemical manufacturing com pany. as the shipping party. It is believed that the inquiry be came mixed up in transmission, and the police are still confident that they are on tho track of the woman who was murdered on Cutler Mountain. Other Inquiries sent out today are to Syracuse, to tho relative of Mrs. -Bouton, seeking to ascertain the name of the dentist who performed the work on the teeth of Mrs. Bouton. upon the re ceipt of whose address he will be sent for to come and Inspect the work done in the mouth of the woman whose body was found December 17, it being fully believed that an opinion by the dentist who performed the work on Mrs. Bou ton's mouth will be conclusive as to whether or not she and the murdered woman were identical. With this point established to the satisfaction of the officers, a systemat ic search lor tho men who havo been connected with Mrs. Bouton in the facts that have come to the knowledge of the police will be instituted. The dispatch published this morning under a. Denver date line, stating that Dr. Sherman Williams of that city had made a positive identification of the teeth of the-murdered woman as those of Mrs, Bouton, he having been ac quainted, with the teeth of Mrs. Bouton by reason of having treated the wom an for throat trouble last August, lost much of its weight today when Coroner Law declared that the teeth of tho dead woman had never been out of his office since the body was brought In from Cutler Mountain, and that Dr. Williams had never seen the teeth. The, physician's identification Is based wholly upon a newspaper diagram of the jaiys of the dead woman, purport ing to show the location of the gold filled and crowned teeth, and "his iden tification isv held by the officers here to be worthless." Movements of Mrs, Bouton. COLORADO SPRINGS. Colo.. Dec. 23. A number of developments have been brought to light by the detectives who are investigating the circumstances of Mrs. Bouton, of Syracuse, N. Y., In connection with the Mount Cutler murder mystery. It has been learned that Mrs. Bouton re ceived the ?200 reported tohave been sent her by her family in Syracuse, through a telegraph company; that she was in the city on October 2, and at various times up to October 29; that between the two dates she did not spend her time here, but vis ited other cities in Colorado. The most important development, per haps, is that while in this city the latter part of October she was accompanied by a man five feet eight Inches In height, dark complexioned. brown mustache, heavy set, who wore a dark suit of clothes, black overcoat and a derby hat. and whom she Introduced as her husband. She left the city on the evening of Octo ber 29 In company with this man, and the officers have reason to believe ho was a traveling man for a cigar company of Chicago. From descriptions it would appear that the man Mrs. Bouton identified In Denver as her husband and the man she Intro duced here are two different persons. BAIL READY FOR MRS. CHADWICK Syndicate, Headed by Cleveland Man, Offers Large Sum. CLEVELAND. Dec 23. A syndicate, of which Attorney Andrew S. Quigley, of Cleveland, is spokesman.
