Convention opened with the usu; . celebrant of the Holy Corn nar. en this morning in. St. Peter's Chn oh at half-past six o'clock. The Bis! jp was celebrated, assisted by the Rev Geo. M. Tolson, of St. Stephen's Ciiu oh. Oxford. At half-past nine o'ck ok, morning prayer was said by the levs. Henry Teller Cocke, of Win ston and H. Mallinckrodt, of Char lotte. Tl e convention assembled at eleven o'doi k to hear the special address of Mr. Jno. W. Wood, of New York, Sec reta y of the Board of Missions of the Episcopal Church, yir. Wood is well and lovingly known throughout the Chu oh, he having begun his career as a (Irirch worker years ago in the Bio, lerhood of St. Andrew, of which ordr - he was for a long time presi des Feeling his especial fitness for the o. : of the mission board, he was app' med to the responsible and im port ,:it position of Corresponding Sec-rc-ta... . .vhich position he has filled mis efficiently. Of course the subject nearest to Mr. Wot. i s heart and upon his mind and cw: ience is the world-wide one of "Mi , ions," and it was the missions of the Church that he talked about this mor .in sr. emphasizing especially the wor.. of the Woman's Auxiliary in con nection therewith. M Wood began his remarks by some P'ea ant references to North Carolina "not in a. trite way not because he was in North Carolina and felt that he had io say something of the kind but beca-se this State had aroused his ad-Kir-Hion in what it had done for mis s'on and thus compelled him to some Jst and due words of praise. The Wo mans Auxiliary is the chief mission lore of the Church among the wo and Mr. Wood "stated that the aij of Missions owed much to this (p:uzation for the advance of the nnss-.onary cause. It had many claims U!W it some of them very special " yet it had made a splendid united wei'ng, and evidence of its good work "UuI l)f UpAfl fWTCiV O ttM,U V.r Inri;ui ... vivi cv vvmc aica ktil cue; rpservations of the west, in j-nina and Japan, in many places -nro,ishout the world, and, to come " ai' r home, a fine work was being wn thioujrh the aid of the Auxiliary mountains of this State of North aroiina. where not only clergy were nLW'i ' 1,nt deaconesses, teachers and I aiish workers-all striving in a prac-J-ai and definite way to lift the boys tn V , and others, of that section Vr if.

Here Mr. Wood gave some fine illustrations of what had been accomp- 1 nshed in the mission field through th power of Christian womanhood, a stated that the Christian woman wa an absolutely necessary adjunct to the immediate working forces in the mis sion fields of Japan and China, where she can so much more easily develop the necessary point of contact with the women of that country and arouse them to the consideration of , Christian ideals. Mr. Wood asked permission to espec ially refer to what North Carolina had been giving to the cause of missions, and stated that he felt right in saying that North Carolina nas really given more than shevwas asked to give; that if he remembered correctly the State contributed, last year fifty per cent, more than she was asked to give, and that he was astonished to see weak missions giving so spendidly to this department of the work, and that it was gratifying to see the strong par ishes and weak missions of this State very generally side by side in this mat ter. He spoke particularly of a mission in Cleveland county which was asked for $5, and which sent $60. Mr. Wrood stated that he would like to know how that mission got that $60, and how Salisbury gave so much, and St. Au gustine's School at Raleigh; that such examples were inspiring. The speaker was glad to see the church at large growing, and spoke especially of strides in the Northwest,, and Alaska how he was struck with the assembly of Bishop Hare's Indians in South Dakota, when he saw 2,000 of them build their tent city in a night and erect a place of worship and go through the service ;and how a fine work had been done in Alaska by Mr. Hughes, formerly of Wilmington, N. C. It was thus that Mr. Wood wound out the beautiful thread pf his mission story, and we wish we could say more about it. Suffice it to say now that it was interesting throughout, and made a splendid impression on the large con gregation which heard it, and was a fine testimony to the power of the re ligion of the Master as it was especially exemplified and set forth in the tender and solicitous love of noble and self sacrificing womanhood. Woman's Auxiliary. This is the Woman's Auxiliary Day of the Convention, and this branch of the church work assembled at 12 o'clock in St. John's Chapel, Graham street. The session was presided over by Mrs. Burgwyn, of Weld'on, Diocesan President. Reports were submitted and the gen eral business of the year transacted. The condition of the Auxiliary is healthy, and enthusiasm and earnest ness pervaded the meeting throughout. The diocesan branch of the woman's Auxiliary was organized by Mrs. John Wilkes, of Charlotte, some twelve years ago, and she herself was diocesan presi dent for that length of time. She has given many of her best years strenu ously to this work, and is still an ac tive and interested member. Another prominent figure in the State work is Mrs. Frank Spruill, of Raleigh. She has labored long and indefatigably for the cause of the Auxiliary, and has contributed in no small degree to its success, but there are hosts of earnest advocates of this cause, and column after column could be filled with the story of their endeavors. Closing Sessions. The convention will close with this afternoon's and tonight's sessions. This afternoon important committee reports will be rendered, and tonight there will be evening services in St. Peter's and St. Michael's Church at 8.30. Rev. Richard kHogue, of Wil mington, will preach at St. Peter's, and Archdeacon Pollard at St. Mi chael's. Afternoon Session. So much time was spent yesterday afternoon in the discussion of the ad visability of a separate convention for negro priests and laymen, that the special and regular orders of business on hand were practically displaced. . The headlines which appeared in a local morning daily in regard to the "race issue in the convention" were somewhat misleading doubtless not intentionally. The delegates to the convention did not discuss the separa tion of the "white and colored church es." According to the belief of the Episcopal Church, as expressed in the Nicene Creed "one catholic and apos tolic church" an all embracing reli gion, it was not a question of the sep aration of churches. There are not two churches. It was what might be called simply a question of present day "ecclesiastical sociological economy," based on conditions in the land, which will intrude and invade into nearly all assembled bodies in spite of desires and efforts to prevent it from doing so. The last convention appointed a committee to confer with other dio ceses as to the adyisability of this division," feeling that perhaps the col ored people themselves would desire it. It was on the report of this com mittee that the discussion arose. The discussion assumed such proportions that the conclusion of the matter was made a special order for the night session, at the conclusion of the con ference on St. Mary's School. Many fine speeches were heard pro and con, and among those who spoke with spe cial emphasis and power against such a division were the venerable Arch deacon Osborne, and Revs. Walter J. Smith and Francis Osborne, of Char lotte. Dr. Murdbck, of Salisbury, and Delegates Henderson, Busbee and Clarkson spoke strongly on the ad visability of a separate convention. It was evidently the sensed of the Bishop and most of his priests that a separate convention was unwise at this time, and when the vote, was taken the motion to have a separate convention was lost by virtue of non concurrence. The colored priests of the diocese are devoted to their Bish op and ! though they would have the same Bishop under a separate con vention, it is a question which the next general council of the church will handle for the best interests of all, (Continued on second page) CHARLOTTE, u ggftiUI SLIPPED, A SEVERAL KILLED While Man Was Trying to Avoid Detectives He Stumbled and Fell with Frightful Result to Himself and Others.

Strong Point of Interest Brought Out In the Discussions Today. By Associated Press. Washington, May 19. A point of in terest brought out in the discussions of the National Tubercolosis conference wos that every effort so far made to establish self-supporting communities or settlements of tubercolosis patients had proved a failure. It was the gen eral opinion that all cases of tuberco losis should be allowed to remain at large where the proper care of the pa tient is maintained and proper sanitary requirements observed to protect mem bers of the family in which the patient rsided. No where except in New York is there legal authority tq compel the retention of a patient against his will. Such authority was most desirable. THE 23RD VICTIM.
