An embarrassing situation was brought about yesterday at the Episcopal general convention when the Young People's society formerly connected with St. Stephen's pro- cathedral petitioned the house of bishops to investigate the action of Bishop Walter T. Sumner which brought the resignation of Rev. R. T. T. Hicks as dean of the pro cathedral on March 1 of this year. The communication requesting the investigation was addressed by offi cials of the society to Right Rev. Daniel S. Tuttle, as presiding bishop. Mimeographed copies were given to all bishops attending the conven tion, however, so it became a pub lic theme in convention circles. The embarrassment of the situation arose-not so much from the nature of the communication as from .the fact that an attack of the sort should be made upon the entertain ing bishop at this time. Patience Held Exercised. Admission was made in the letter to the presiding bishop that the young people had "waited long and patiently" for this opportunity to lay their grievances before the gen eral convention of the church. The text of one of the mimeo graphed copies of the letter follows: "We, the Young People's society formerlyaof St. Stephen's pro-cathe-d-ral, -have waited long and patiently for the coming of the general con vention that W9 might lay before you our grievances. "You have learned something of the trouble that has come upon us and the church in Oregon through the unkind actions of Bishop Walter T. Sumner and of his unjust attack upon the Very Rev. R. T. T. Hicks, former dean of St. Stephen's pro cathedral, thus causing him to re sign. In protest against these acts the Young People's society has left the pro-cathedral with the determi nation never to return until these wrongs have been investigated and Justice given to Dean Hicks. Society Continues Work. - "Our society is the pioneer or ganization of its kind in this diocese, having been formed three years ago, and we have never missed a meeting.

MARITAL VOWS DELETED Lower House of Episcopal Church Stirkes Word "Obey"; Also Bridegroom's Endowment. Denunciation of so-called secret "patriotic" societies, in the form of a resolution so worded that It left no doubt but that its author was striking at the Ku Klux Klan, added a touch of excitement to the deep theological discussions which took up a major ' portion of the time of the house of deputies of the Epis copal general convention yesterday. In scathing . language John D. Wing, clerical delegate from Savan nah, Ga., condemned organizations of masked and unknown membership, which he declared capitalize bigot ry and hate, foster racial and re ligious prejudice and encourage lawlessness and mob violence. He called on the general convention to express the., church's public disap proval of such orders by the adop tion of his resolution. The mat ter, referred to the committee on social service, will come up for vote in a few dajw. "Obey" and Endowment Deleted. Beside the attack on the klan, the lower house of the convention went into the marriage ceremony as out lined in the prayer book revision work. By Its action yesterday the bride no longer will be forced to utter the moot word "obey" in mar riages in. the Episcopal church, and the bridegroom, by way of equal ization, will not be forced to en dow his bride with all of his worldly goods. The word "obey" and the phrase "And with all my worldly goods I thee eniow" were stricken from the ceremony by the action of the house. The bishops, having taken similar action, the offending phrases will be stricken from the Episcopa lian prayer book if the next gen eral convention so decides. The klaft attack came up when the house convened in the morning. On the day before Rev. C. B. Wilmer, also of Atlanta, introduced a reso lution condemning mob violence and the organized spirit of lawlessness which, he asserted, are sweeping over the country. His resolution was interpreted by many as a veiled at tack on the klan. Yesterday's ac tion left no doubt as to the Intent of its author. . , The resolution read: M'hereas.

HIGH FEELING AROUSED Bourbons Should Suspend Ad mittance Fee if They InxiM. on Rally, Say Opponents. ST. HELENS, Or., Sept. 14. (Spe cial.) The Columbia county fair, to be held next Tuesday, Wednes day and Thursday, has become tl.e storm center in a bitter fight be tween the republicans and demo crats of this county, as a result of the fair board's action in In viting Walter M. Tierce, democratic candidate for governor, to speak at the fair Wednesday afternoon. The fair board announced that Mr. Pierce had been Invited to speak on condition that his address be strictly non-polltlcal. It was an nounced that Mr. Tierce had agreed to these terms. Neither of these announcements In the least assauged the snorting of the republican warhorses. who Baw in both the Invitation and tho acceptance an effort to give Mr. Tierce the edge on the other candi dates for governor. They pointed out that Mr. Tierce would pet an oppor tunity to show off before a bigger crowd than any democrat could as semble here if hla oratory wag tha sola attraction. Republican Soaplrlona Stirred, Republican suspicions were fur ther stirred up by the fact that R. N. Lovelace, president of the fair board, is one of the democrat lo llghtg in Columbia county. It has been whispered around that tha democratic central commutes had suggested that Mr. Lovelace could do the bourbon candidate a good turn by railroading the invitation through fhe fair board. There also have been rumors that pressure was brought to bear on other members of the fair board to Insure favorable action on ths pro posal to have Mr. Fierce speak. Just what form the pressure took has not been made public, but feeling has been roused to a point where tha success of the fair is considered threatened. It ha even been suggested that if ths democrats want to turn the ) fair into a political meeting Wednesday afternoon, they might at least suspend admittance chargns. Whatever may be the zoai of Colum bia county republicans to hear good oratory. It has been said that they feel that It is rubbing it In a bit to ask them to pay good money to get into the fair grounds when the chief attraction is to be a speaker whose present object is to win vote. Candidates for office, they pointed out, usually admit the publio to their speeches without charge. Injury to Fair apes Efforts to get in touch with Ray Tarbell, secretary of the board, were unsuccessful today, and it could not be learned just what action would be taken regarding the admittance charges. Conservative opinion m to the effect that nothing could be done unless the democratic central committee was ready to assume re sponsibility for the bill, and coma out publicly with the statement that the afternoon was to be mads ths occasion of a bourbon rally. Whatever la the outcome of tha political row, it was generally con. sidered that the fair board had In jured the fair by Inviting Mr. Tierce Tolitical feeling has been at such a pitch ever since the primaries that the rank and file of both parties ara on edge. Whether the republicans, will go to the extent of blacklist ing the fair Wednesday afternoon or even on all three days nas been a matter of conjecture ever sine tha row began.
