REMARRIAGE IS LIMITED
Church Explicitly Forbids Com
municants to Wed Ex
cept as Allowed.
The divorce law of the Protestant
Kpiscopal church was tightened by
action taken last nisht when the
house of deputies ratified an amend
ment to the canon which the bishops
had already approved forbidding
communicants of the church to
marry divorced persons , except
in cases where the divorce had been
granted on. grounds of infidelity.
As amended the divorce law is
made explicit in forbidding remar
riage of divorced persons, with the
exception provided. as to infidelity,
whereas the present church law
merely forbids clergymen to per
form ceremonies in cases where
either of the parties is divorced.
Many Seai Vacant.
When the deputies acted there were
manv 'seats vacant, many of tfi
delegates having already departed
for their homes. Only a lew cepu
ties arose to ask questions, and .no
ODnosition was voiced.
Resolutions offered by tev. ur.
F. W. Tomkins of Philadelphia pro.
viding for the omission of all that
section of the aivorce canon wmuu
. relates to permission being given
to divorced persons to remarry in
such cases as the single exception
applies and making the inhibition
.against remarriage of divorced per
sons-absolute, were reierrea 10
commission which will make
study of the whole divorce canon
during the next three years ana re
port at the next general conven
tion.
Resolutions Held Over.
Two other resolutions of Dr. Tom
kins, one requiring a certificate as
to the health of persona to be mar
ried and another requiring that bans
be published for three Sundays be
fore an - intended marriage, also
. were referred to this commission.
CHURCH UNITY INDORSED
. EPISCOPALIAN'S " VOTE FOB
CONCORDAT MEASURE.
Bishops Get Power to Ordain
Clergymen of Other Faiths
as Priests.
The general convention of the
Episcopal church went definitely on
record for church unity last nigni.
when the house of deputies, by
decisive majority vote, concurred
with the house of bishops on the
concordat which will give blshopa
power to ordain ministers of other
denominations in the Episcopal
church, without losing identity in
their own.
Snirited debate preceded the vote,
many deputies contending that the
move was ill-advised and untimely.
while others asserted that no fur
ther delay should be brooked. The
vote itself was as follows: Clerical,
yes 37, divided 2, negative 25:
lay, yea 34, divided 1, negative 14.
"Do you suppose that they are
going to put themselves in the un.
die-nified oosition of saying, 'If per
chance you invite me, I'll come'?"
asked the Rev. Dr. C. L. Slattery
of New York, speaking for the
adoption of the concordat.
The proposal for the move toward
church unity, arose some time ago,
when prominent clergymen of the
Episcopal and Congregational
churches conferred respecting the
ordination of Congregational min
isters as priests of the Episcopal
church. Though the concordat opens
the way for the admission of min
isters of all Christian churches, if
found acceptable by the bishops, its
actual application will perhaps be
virtually restricted to Congrega
tional ministers who avail them
selves of the invitation . now ex
tended. ,

Hoy R. Renick Gets High Tension
Discharge When Wire Comes in
Contact WJth Power Lines.
When an electric light wire which
he was stringing came into contact
with a high-tension wire late yes
terday afternoon, Roy R- Renick, an
electrician and foreman for the
maintenance department of the
Portland Railway, Light & Power
company, received the full force of
next general convention- will
meet in New Orleans in. 1925.
Climate is an important ques
tion in connection with a meeting
of the convention. It is unnecessary
to mention the climate at Portland,
for, like in California,- it is the con
stant comment of the natives. But
serious question was raised as to the
weather in such a southern section
of the country as New Orleans.
All of which reminded the Right
Rev. William F. Nichols, bishop of
California, of a story .about the
meeting of the convention in that
fair clime some years ago.
A local newspaper reporter in
writing up the opening service re
corded that "the bishops marched up
the aisle, vested in their rubrics."
"While the climate of California is
more than could be desired," said
Bishop Nichols, "it is not so warm
as to allow of such scant attire as
that."
:
After the Right Rev. Charles
Fiske. bishop coadjutor of central
New York, was consecrated, a faith
ful friend who was brought up in
the Church of England, where every
bishop is a lord bishop, started to
address him as "My Lord Central
New York."
"Oh. do not call me that," said
the bishop.
"What shall I say then?"
"Just say, 'hello, Central, said the
bishop.
The bishop often gets mail ad
dressed to him as "the Bishop of
New York Central.
The Right Rev. Charles M. Beck-
with, bishop of Alabama, is one of
the wittiest of the members of the
house of bishops. If the chairman
would permit he would give a hu
morous turn to many more of the
solemn matters that come up than
he does.
When the question of leaving the-
"obey" out of the marriage service
came up it was he who suggested
that it 'beTnade retroactive eo that
the women who were married when
it was included should be released,
from their promise of servitude.
Later he told a group of friends
ttiat his wife always obeyed him.
wnenever x am. going away irom
home I always tell her exactly what
to do, and she always does it," he
boasted. "Of course," he added, "I
first inquire of her what she is
planning to do, and then I tell her
to go ahead and do it." " .
.
At a luncheon given to the press
representatives the other day Miss
Raphael MacDowell, religious ed
itor of the New York Times, was
voted the most beautiful woman
present. '
Incidentally, she was the only one.
"The purpose of the revised ru
bric in the ordination service re
quiring that the hymn is to be said
or sung is to make it clear that
some bishops can't sing," explained
Bishop Parsons.
"That's perfectly clear," called
out one ' of .,the neighbors.
It is evident that the convention
is getting along in days, if not in
years. It is aging. Tljose who have
the responsibility of recording the
happenings realize that. Therefore
one was not surprised' to find a
stenographer had put it down "Ven
erable Convention."-
Archdeacon Reynolds of Los An
geles-was talking to- his chief, the
Right Rev. Joseph H. Johnson.
"So you are going back next
week." said the bishop. "I suppose
that you will be received with open
arms by your people."
J'Yes, I expect I will be in the
hands of the receiver after staying
at this expensive hotel," said the
archdeacon.
"I suppose you are going to settle
down, then.
"No, indeed, I will get busy and
settle up. ' .
The Rev. Dr. Pott is president of
St. John's university, Shanghai.
When they were holding an election
of a bishop for the then diocese of
Wo Wo, a certain man In this coun
try was expecting to be the for
tunate candidate. He made ar
rangements for a friend in China
to cable the news when the elec
tion took place. He was much dis
concerted to get the cablegram
reading:
"Wo Wo gone to Pott."
Mr. Henry Hanby Hay is a lay
deputy from Delaware. He boasts
of a flowing white beard, not unlike
that of the presiding bishop.
The other day an elderly man
came up to him and greeting him
warmly said that he knew him 65
years ago in Salt Lake City.
Mr. Hay protested that he had
never met the gentleman.
"Why, aren t you Bishop Tuttle?"
said the man.
No. , I am Henry Hanby Hay.
Besides, if I had been Bishop Tuttle
I could not have heard you."
CHILD'S ART IS PRAISED
WORK OF PAMELA BIANCO
DECLARED WONDERFUL,
11,000 volts in his body and died
an hour later, after strenuous er-
forts had been made to save him.
Foreman Renick was working
with a crew of men at Willamette
moorage, putting in some new wires.
A line of high tension cables was
near the new line, and while Mr.
Renick was pulling a light wire it
dropped against the highly charged
line. He was knocked unconscious
immediately, and at first it was
thought that he was killed instantly.
A telephone call was sent for
the company physician and for an
ambulance. An Arrow ambulance
responded with a pulmotor, and the
physician and ambulance assistants
strove to resuscitate Mr. Renick.
His body was turned over to the
coroner. -
Mr. Renick was 30 years old and
lived at 394 Eleventh street. He
was a widower and is survived by
daughter, Miss Martha Renick,
and a brother, Frank E. Renick.
has been sued for divorce by his
wifet who asks alimony to the ex
tent of $250,000. She alleges mental
cruelty. Brown has departed for
the coast, where he will compete in
golf tourneys this fall. He recently
broke the record for 36 holes at
Nuua'nu, doing it in 130 strokes.
Brown's fortune is estimated at
$1,000,000, besides a third interest
in the John Ii estate, a legacy left
to him on the recent death of his
mother.
Creations of Young Artist to Be
Exhibited in Portland Mu
seum This Month.
The attention of Portland art con
noisseurs is being attracted to the
exhioitlon of paintings and litho
graphs, creations of Pamela Blanco,
the child artist whose work has won
so much attention. It is scheduled
to be on display at the Portland Art
Museum not later than September
27 to October 15.
The groups of the child's works
have gained popularity wherever
they have been , shown and - many
items have been purchased by en
thuslasts, yet at least 250 pieces will
be exhibited in Portland.
Pamela Biaco displayed talent at
an early age, and her creative gen
ius -was encouraged. Now, though
barely 16 years of age, her paintings
have been shown in London, New
York, San Francisco and Honolulu,
They are being sent here after an
exhibition in the Hawaiian islands.
Pamela's mother was an English
woman who was reared in Philadel
phia and who published a novel
when she was IS years of age." Her
father, Captain Francesco Blanco, is
sn Italian of the firm of Zenedos,
bookbinders, in London.
The child began to draw at
years. She drew everything, she saw
and many things she did not see.
She says that at an early age she
really saw fairies she drew with
such childish charm.
At 11 years her pictures first ap
peared in an exhibition of children's
work at Turin. Since then the big
galleries have been thronged to ee
her creations on display.

IRRIGATION CROPS GOOD
Arro'wrock Dam District Displays
Fine Products in Xampa.
W. V. Chapman of this city has
Just returned from Nampa, Idaho,
the heart of the Arrowrock dam ir
rigation district, embracing about
300.000 acres, where there was
staged a street fair displaying the
products grown on the irrigated
lands. Mr. chapman says the qual
ity and quantity of produce which
the irrigated country yields are re
markable. The farmers, he says.
are raising excellent qualities of all
sorts of vegetables, fruits and grain.
but they are not so prosperous as
might be desired, due to the low
prices of the various farm products.
On the other hand, the people in
the dairy business are doing- well
on the irrigated lands. ,
The fair at Nampa September 19
to 22 encouraged quantitative dis
plays by the various grange repre
sentatives. Not only were - farm
products on hand, but there - were
flour, grain and manufactured prod
ucts on exhibit as well.

The city council . by unanimous
vote yesterday jrranted a 25-year
franchise to the Portland Railway,
Light & Power company for opera
tion of its cars on Foster roadway.

sion. Some opposition to the num
ber of years was made some time
ago, but later was witnarawn.
The railway company held a pri
vate right of way on Foster road,
which was relinquished in order
that the road might be improved, the
street railway company taking . a
franchise for tracks in the center
of the road.
