TWO BISHOPS NAMED
DEADLOCK IN METHODIST CON'
FERENCE IS BROKEN.
Popular Chicago Pastor Elected on
Tenth Ballot and Editor of Pittsburg
Christian Advocate Wins Out on the
Twelfth.
Baltimore, May 26. Rev. Dr. Will
lain A. Quayle, pastor of St. James
church, Chicago, and a lecturer and
author ot wido repute, was elected
bishop on the tenth ballot at the gen
eral contereuco of the Methodist Epis
copal church, thus breaking tho dead
lock which had existed since tho sec
ond ballot.
There was no elootlon ot a bishop
on the eleventh ballot. The twelfth
ballot resulted In tho election of Dr.
C. W. Smith, editor of tho Pittsburg
Christian Advocate.
A mattor of importance, and In
which there Is widespread Interest,
will bo laid beforo tho conforonce by
the court of last appeal In tho Metho
dlst Episcopal church In a roport of
the Judiciary committee, sustaining
Professor Klnkloy O. Mltcholl, who
was declarod a heretic by tho Central
New York conference, of which he was
a member and who was for somo rea
son deposed from the chair of Hebrew
and Old Testament exegesis in tho
Boston University School of Theology
somo time ago. Professor Mitchell
ranks high among Hebrew scholars
and his trial on charges of heresy was
a noted one. Tho chargos grew out of
certain published writings of his, more
particularly in his book, "The World
Before Abraham." A commltteo of tho
Central New York conference Investi
gated the charges, reported Professor
Mltcholl guilty and the report was
adopted by tho conference without, it
is said, the accused having been given
an opportunity to defend himself.
Prom this action ot his conference,
President Mitchell appealod to tho ju
diciary commltteo of the general con
ference, the reports of which will sus
tain him on points of law (and not up
on matters of orthodoxy), the commit
tee Is competent to pass.
The thirteenth ballot is reported to
have resulted In no election.
New episcopal rosldences aro to bo
established, if a recommendation of
the committee on tho episcopacy Is
adopted, in Peking, China; a city of
Oklahoma, New Orleans, Omaha and
Detroit, and that In Minneapolis will
be discontinued'. Two bishops will be
assigned to China and tho next foreign
bishop will be placed In Franco.
The commltteo on revision has de
cided' to recommend tho elimination
from the baptismal service of tho dec
laratlon that all men aro conceived
and born In sin.
