DISAGREEMENT
Memorial Criticising the Citadel
Stirs up the
DIOCESAN COUNCIL
Rev. C. H. Jordan Withdraws After
Tliat Ilody Reclined to Spread on
the Minutes a Memorial, Churning
Citadel Ofllcers with Dlscrim
inn ting Against Episcopalians.
The Council of the Episcopal I)ioces
sat down on Rev. C. H. Jordan
last Thursday at Spartanburg, claiming
that he had not been shown the
proper consideration of respect b?
the Council, because the Council refused
to adopt a resolution of
fered by him and refused to
t pprove a memorial that he
he presented, the Rev. C. H. Jordan,
rector of the Nativity Church at
Union, asked to be excused from further
attendance upon the sessions
of the Council. The following account
of the matter we take from
The News and Courier:
The trouble was precipitated when
Mr. Jordan presented a memorial
from the Greenville convention, the
subject of which was religious conditions
et the Citadel. The memorial
was that there was religious discrimination
at the institution against cadets
of Episcopal parents; that they
were not allowed to attend services
at the Episcopal churches as freely
as they might; that they are required
to march in squads to other
rhurchs, while the cadets of Roman
Cathtilic faith are permitted to atted
to attend the church of their
faith.
The discussion that followed the
reading of the memorial was lively,
objections being made to the adoption
or consideration of the memorial.
Judge Haskell said that U the
Council Interfered it would be mixing
religion with politics and advised the
Council to ste? r clear of the matter;
that the Citadel was a State Institution
ami not under the control of
the dioceses.
The Rev. Albert Thomas, of Darlington,
said that he was a graduate
of the Citadel and ho knew of his
own knowledge that the Episcopal
students are not being discriminated
against. He said that there are five
Eoisconat chlindlea in fVl -1 rlnutnn nn.l
that the cadets attend these churches
more frequently than the other
churches. During the discussion it
was brought out that the students
who are Roman Catholic were not
required to attend the Protestant
churches and Mr. Jordan made the
point that no exception should be
made. Finally, it was decided to receive
the memorial as information
and not spread it on the minutes of
the Council.
Mr. Jordan presented then n resolution
providing for the appointment
of a committee to make an investigation
of the alleged religious
discrimination at tthe Citadel and
report the result of its findings at
the next meeting of the Dioceses
Council. The resolution provided
for the Bishop to serve on the committee,
Bishop fiuerry promptly stated
that lie would not serve. A ntrt
tlon wns made and carried, almost
unanimously, that the resolution l>
laid on the table.
Mr. Jordan then "nddtlessed the
Councial stating that lie had been
shut off from debate by the Council,
that he had not been treated with
proper respect and courtesy and ask
ed to he excused. The Incident was
regretted bv members of the Council.
The proposal was almost unanimously
regarded as ill-advised and
as likely to place the church in an
undesirable light, and to provoke an
unpleasant religious controversy.
The handling of the subject from a
I parliamentary standpoint was porL
haps a little irregular and this gave
& Mr. Jordan ground for thinking that
i|L he had i n treated in an unfair
manner, although Bishop Gtierry assnred
him that such had not been
his intention.

isfurtion?Xo discrimination.
The News and Courier says the
reports from Spartanburg yf the attempt
of the Rev. C. 11. Jordan, of
Union, a member or the Diocesan
Council of the Episcopal church, to
bring about an investigation of religious
conditions at thy Citadel, alleging
that the cadets of the Episcopal
faith were discriminated
against and prevented from attending
Episcopal churches, were read
with astonishment in Charleston,
where curiosity was generally expressed
as to how an impression so
erroneous as that indicated could
have been formed by any one. Col.
O. J. Bond, the superintendent of
the South Carolina Militay Academy.
| had leard nothing of the matter
when a representative of The News
and Courier visited him at the Citadel
a few evenings ago, and he read
the dispatch with thy greatest surprise.
"1 can't understand the matter at
all," lie said with a smile. "We are
using today the same system as to
church attendance that we hn\e used
for the last twenty years, and this
is the first complaint I have ever
heard in regard to the matter."
Col. ltond did not think that the
situation was such as to render
nee ssary any statement by him, but
he did not object to explaining the
system of church attendance as followed
at the Citadel. 'I he cadets

the First Presbyterian, Second

churches; two are Methodist

to attend services at Christian
churches against their will.

Col. Bond also added that relig- j

at the Citadel each morning, that ,
lhere is a Bible class every Sunday
morning and that the* Citadel Y. M.
C. A. holds services every Wedaes- j
day > veiling and every Sunday even
ing.
"There Is absolutely no discrimination
at the Citadel against students
of the Episcopal faith or of any
other faith," continued Col. Bond
"It is not one of the entrance qualifications
that a student he an Episcopalian,
but as a malt r of fac;t It
happens that more students are members
of the Episcopal church than of
any other, more Episcopal churches
are attended ihan the churches of
any olh r one faith because of this
fact and luvvn use the Episcopal
churches are most numerous of the
Protestant churches in Charleston
and at least, four members of the ,
faculty are Episcopalians, while a ,
fifth attends the Episcopal church i

around eager to identify the dead,
only to turn away tne sickening

Italians with shovels found here

to the engine house, which served
as a temporary morgue.
The workmen had placed heavy i-harg's

A terrific explosion followed, which
hurled tons of rock into the air
and scattered the bodies of the victims
in all directions. The officers

Men were killed whenever found

LUMBER LOBBY
HAI> BICJ BUM OF MONEY TO
SPEND TO CAKKY Til FIB
Scheme of Protecting I.umltcr in the
Tariff Hill Through Congress in
Washington.
Zach McGee, tho wide awake
Washington correspondent of the
Columbia State, says it develops now
that the lumber lobby which has
been operating with considerable
energy during the present tariff-making
session of congress, has been srtpported
most lavishly by the lumber
manufacturers.
An assessment was made on each
sawmill in the various associations
of $1 for each $1,000 feet of dally
cut. The lumber manufacturers of
tile State of Oregon and Washington
belonging to one particular association
were assessed $28,000, but so
far they have paid only $12,000, and
they are being vigorously pressed to
pay the rest.
Some of the advocates of tree lumber
here are declaring that the fail
urv iu pay in?? assessment is evidence
that the real pressure for protection
on lumber is not so much
from the sawmill people as from the
timh-'r'syndicates, who own most of
the stunipuge.
There is plenty of money, however,
for the lobby. It Is estimated 1
that $ 100,000 was raised to main- 1
tain the special lobby here to try to
keep the present rates of $2 a thou- (
sand on rough lumber and the cor- ,
responding high rates on other
grades. '
This does not include the expens- '
es of special delegations sent here
by lumber organizations in various ,
States and the expenses of individual
lumbermen who have come here (
for the purpose of intluenclng congressmen
from their own State. A
number of lobbyists have been in and
about the capital ever since last (
Tall
Some weeks ago. while the bill
was befor the house, the lobbyists (
gave ? series of expensive dinners (
at tlie Wlliard hotel, to which they (
invited members of cone-ess and others
whom they thought would be (
influential. (
