A matter that may become a celebrated case In the Pro testant Episcopal church In America became public today when announcement was made that Bishop John Scarborough, of the tilj- cese of New Jersey, had refused to ap prove the call to a church within his Juris diction of a clergyman married to a woman who had been granted a divorce from her first husband also an Episcopal clergyman, The case Is that of the Rev.

Clarence Frankel In February, 1900; and six months later they move to Nebraska, where her husband was a missionary. Released In Soath Dakota.

Mr. Kettell and the couple were married on July 29. last, by Rev. Charles A. Hansel, vicar of Grace Church chapel, Haltimore. Shortly after this Mr. Kettell resigned from Christ church. Christ church at Palmyra, N. Y., about ten miles from Philadelphia, offered the rectorship of that church to the young rector on the recommendation of Bishop Scarborough before he was married. He accepted after Informing the directory of the church that he had married a divorced woman, but when he went to Trenton, N.

The parishioners of Christ church took up the matter and appealed to the bishop to reconsider his decision, but this he would not do. Meetings were held at the church and the parishioners finally became di vided, a majority of them, it la said, de ciding to take the view of Bishop Scarbor ough. Some of the more ardent supporters of the Rev. Mr. Kettell want to take the matter to the civil courts, and it is said this probably will be done.

Benton. Th casa Is that of John 8. Keenan, ad ministrator of th estate of Rev. James P. Klernan. Keenan put in a claim for $Gu0 willed to Father Klernan for masses by Daniel Kane.
