Recommends unity among all churches in missionary labors. The Right Rev. Leigh R. Brewer, bishop of the Episcopal church of Montana, began the eleventh annual convention of the diocese of Montana at a special service in St. John's church at 11 o'clock yesterday morning. The bishop was the celebrant of the holy communion and the Rev. Charles H. Linley of Kalispell preached the sermon at the morning services. The speaker's subject was "The Threefold Interpretation of Christianity." With an augmented choir, special music was presented. The anthem was from "The Messiah." The usual Sunday school program was dispensed with and several of the visiting clergymen made short talks to the children. Among them were Bishop Brewer, the Rev. W. S. Watson of Dillon and the Rev. Paul J. Tajima of Helena, who is superintendent of home missions for the Japanese in Montana. The convention will continue until Wednesday. Both the morning and evening services well attended. The evening services were given principally to the anuual [sic] address to the convention made by Bishop Brewer. There was special music for the evening as well as the morning services. ### The Bishop's Address. The bishop said, in part: "There were four things about the recent convention of the church which marked it as one of the most important conventions we have ever held. "First, the interest that was manifested in missions. The missionary tide has been rising for a generation. In the convention of 1913, there were more joint sessions of the two houses for the hearing of speakers on missionary, educational and social subjects than we have ever had before. Today the president of our board of missions sends out word that we have come to a crisis in our missionary work and asks that we send up our prayers to Almight [sic] God, asking that he will stir up wills and hearts of all the children of the church so that they may do their part in winning the world for Him. Doors are opening for the missionary to enter every day. Calls are multiplying at home and abroad for more workers and more means. They cannot be answered, for there is a deficiency of $200,000 in the missionary treasury for past years, and the probability of a large addition to that deficiency for the present year. ### Means Not Concentrated. "There are means enough for the doing of all this work, but they are not concentrated. There are men and [advertisement, column 2] # The Clothery # Stock Reducing Sale Every Suit in the Store on Sale at Cost or Less # The Clothery Best Clothes in Butte [illustration: a pedimented doorway with two columns] # Thoughtful Men and Women Who apply the same sound judgment in spending money as in earning it are the people who are buying [d]iamonds today.

We want more missionaries and we cannot have them because we cannot support them. "The second distinguishing mark of that convention was in the interest shown in church unity. I consider that the appointment of a commission on faith and order by the convention of 1910 was a most important step. Division has been a long time coming in. We shall be a long time getting rid of it. But I believe that unity will come at last because I believe our Lord's prayer must be fu[lfi?]lled. Already a good many of the divided branches of Christendom are studying the question and trying to find out what they can contribute to its solution. "I should be glad if the convention would consent to the appointment of a committee to meet with the representatives of other religious bodies in Helena next November. I cannot see where harm can come to us from such action and I hope good may result from it to the cause we have all at heart. ### Religion in Public Schools. "The third distinguishing mark of the convention was the action taken in regard to Christian education. In the convention of 1910 a canon was adopted and a commission appointed. The commission has been thoroughly organized and is gradually getting the work started in all the dioceses and missionary districts of the church. It is a most important part of our work. It will be a difficult thing to get religious education introduced into our public schools, but efforts are being made in some cities to get it introduced in a tentative way. Our Sunday school instruction is defective. But there must be a beginning to all important enterprises. We have a beginning of it in this diocese in our Sunday school commission. "The fourth important mark of the convention was the interest shown in social service work. We have a general commission for the consideration of that subject and it has been instrumental in organizing branches and arousing interest throughout the church. ### Strikes and Boycotts. "Strikes and boycotts are taking place in every land, interfering with business, interrupting prosperity and sometimes threatening the peace of communities. Workingmen are saying that the church does not want them and that the teachings of the Teacher of Nazareth are denied and belied by His followers. We must consider those charges and where we find them true try to make amends. We have a committee on social service in this diocese and I hope we shall listen to any report that it m[a?]y bring before us with interest, and be ready to help carry out any recommendations that may be proposed. "Five bishops have died during the year, the Rt. Rev. Henry Douglass Robinson, missionary bishop of Nevada; the Rt. Rev. John Scarborough, bishop of New Jersey for 39 years; the Rt. Rev. William Woodruff Niles, bishop of New Hampshire; the Rt. Rev. Charles Clifton Penick served in Africa and the Rt. Rev. Charles S. Cadding, bishop of Oregon. ### Coadjutor Bishop. "In accordance with the notice that I gave in my last convention address, I formally asked for the election of a coadjutor bishop. I do this, not simply to be relieved of work myself, but because I am sure that more needs to be done in the diocese than one man can possibly do, and because it is reasonable to expect that I shall be able to do less in the future than I have in the past. Should an election take place I shall divide the visitations of the diocese with a coadjutor in a way that will be mutually satisfactory. "The archdeacon has done his work through the year efficiently as ever. The work of the Woman's Parochial and Missionary society has been pursued quietly, but with true success. ### Some Progress Made. "I believe we have made some progress during the year. A small church has been built at Thompson Falls and a convenient rectory at Townsend. Improvements have been made in church property in many p[l?]aces. "I take it for granted that we shall be willing to become a member of the provincial synod to which the council of the sixth missionary department will give place next October. "What success the chapters of St. Andrew's Brotherhood in the diocese has met with during the year, I do not know. But I do know that the diocese is stronger and better for whatever work has been done. ### Report of Year's Work. "The reports will show that there have been 585 baptisms and 390 confirmations. The communicants number 4,388 and confirmed persons 5,550. The value of church property is $827,275. Our indebtedness amounts to $71,325. The value of our ohruch [sic] property has increased by $47,000 and our indebtedness about $10,000, nearly one-half of this indebtedness rests upon St. Peter's hospital. "The treasurer has received from diocesan missions $5,065, from parishes and missions $2.272, from the auxiliary $1,116, from Sunday schools $38, from individual pledges $700, and from interest $938. This is nearly $500 less than we gave last year. "We have added to the episcopate fund $2,027 from assessments, and $1,647 from unused interests. The archdeacon has raised in subscriptions a little over $11,000. I am grateful to both workers and governors for what has been accomplished. "Once more we close up the record in the life of our diocese and turn the page to begin a new leaf. Poets and enthusiasts have often compared the life that we live to a web. In a very real sense it is a web and we are the weavers. We cannot tell what the character of the web will be until it is finished. We live in hope and work by faith trusting that God will accept our weaving and make both the warp and the woof to show for his glory." # WIFE'S CURIOSITY IS CAUSE OF HIS ARREST When Mrs. C. F. Brown of Denver received a letter from her husband saying that it didn't matter much whether she came to Butte or not, as her husband "had a real fine girl now," she came to Butte out of curiosity. Yesterday she caused the arrest of her husband, who is a telegraph operator, on a charge of living with another woman. Brown was arrested at 14 South Wyoming street by Detective Van Orden. SLOAN—Died in this city June 21, James Sloan, aged 60 years. The remains were removed to the funeral parlors of Sherman & Reed. Funeral announcement later. ## Column 4 # GEORGE DAVIS TALKS ABOUT BUTTE SOCIETY ## STAR WITNESS AT SPOKANE IN A DIVORCE TRIAL. # CASE OF THE WILLIAMSONS ## Well-known globe trotter and art connoisseur narrates in detail events connected with case on this side of the range. George Wesley Davis of Butte, aged 52, unmarried, who said that he is prominent in Butte society, "such as it is," and is familiarly called "Pop" by the young women of that city, in the thirteenth day of the Volney D. Williamson divorce trial, testified that Mrs. Williamson had consulted him about getting a divorce as long ago as the winter of 1906-7, and three years ago had again consulted him and told him she wanted more than half the property. Mr. Davis' testimony was the feature of the case yesterday, as Harry Bohr, who was called for a few minutes, was not allowed to testify and Mr. Williamson, who was also recalled, answered but two or three questions. Mr. Davis, in answer to questions by Attorney R. W. Nuzum for Mr. Williamson, said that in 1909 Mrs. Williamson, with whom he was well acquainted, as he was also with her husband, came to him in his apartments in Butte, accompanied by Miss Mollie Cotter, her sister, and had a talk with him. "Did she have any conversation with you about getting either a property settlement or a divorce at that time?" asked Mr. Nuzum. "She did." "What did she say?" "She said she wanted to consult with some good lawyer about getting a property settlement and divorce, and I referred her to Jesse B. Root, who was also my attorney. She returned to me later and said she had consulted him, but she didn't tell me what was said." He testified that about that time Mrs. Williamson told him she and her husband were looking for a house for Miss Mollie and her father, but that Miss Mollie continually refused to be satisfied with any of the houses viewed and persisted in wanting to live with her and Volney. ### "Mollie Won't Leave Us." "She asked me," said the witness, "'Why do you suppose Mollie won't have a home of her own?' I told her I thought I understood that; that Mollie was already well along in years; that there were a good many things she could enjoy if she lived with Mabel and her husband that she couldn't enjoy if she were living alone. Mabel said, 'I think that's it, that's the way I've got it sized up. Mollie stays right there and wont' [sic] leave us alone at all. If we want to talk over things we have to go to bed, and Volney won't stand it.'" Mr. Davis was attired in the latest cut and style of garments. When he spoke, it was with the utmost deliberation, looking straight at his questioner. In cross-examination, the witness said he is a good friend of both Mr. and Mrs. Williamson and that he knows Mrs. Williamson much better than her husband. ### She Often Called Him "Pop." He said she often called him "Uncle George" or "Pop," which is the designation by which, he said, he is known to the young women in the society circles of the mining city. In giving his business he said he is vice president of the Davis-Daly Estate Mining company and that he has offices in New York and Boston, as well as Butte, and has traveled much, spending a great deal of time in New York and Boston. Replying to Mr. Post's interrogations, Mr. Davis said that in 1909, when Mrs. Williamson saw him in Butte, she had asked him about both a divorce and her rights in the property of Mr. Williamson. "Did you on that occasion give her fatherly advice?" asked Mr. Post. "No, I did not," he replied. "I said if she had a good ground for divorce to get it and I told her to get ha'f [sic] the property, but she said she wanted more than half." "Didn't you at that time advise her to get a divorce, and didn't she say she was opposed to divorces, being a Catholic?" "No, sir." Mr. Post then inquired into Mr. Davis' motives in coming to Spokane, asking him if he did not come over here from Butte expressly to testify in the Williamson case. He said he did not. In response to further questions the witness said Mrs. Williamson told him that Mollie was "roasting her all the time for not dressing her better" and asked his opinion as to Mollie's wardrobe. ### Sister Wanted More Dresses. "I said I thought she was dressed as well as any woman in Spokane, but she said Mollie was not satisfied and wanted more all the time." Referring to the house which had been tentatively selected as Miss Mollie's residence, and which she said she would not live in, the witness said he told Mrs. Williamson, "I'd be [advertisement, column 4] # Umbrellas I've a most splendid display of umbrellas for women and for men.

Mr. Nuzum went minutely into how the Butte capitalist had come to be here when he took up redirect examination and asked especially whether the witness meant to say that Mrs. Williamson had spoken of both divorce and property settlement at the time she saw him in Butte. The witness said she had asked him about both. He said that in 1906, while Mrs. Williamson was living at 43 Fifth avenue, New York, the $6,000 apartments which were the Williamson home for two years soon after the wedding, she told him she wanted to consult some attorney concerning a divorce and that he had referred her to John Garver of New York. "I told her I didn't know whether he would handle such matters, but that he would advise with her if I asked him to," said witness. Asked by Mr. Nuzum to relate how he came to be in Spokane in connection with the present case, the witness said: "Mr. Root returned from Spokane last Friday, where he had been on some legal matters, and called me over the te'ephone [sic], saying he would like to see me. He said that while here he met a friend of his who was one of the attorneys for Volney Williamson in his divorce trial and that the whole town of Spokane was talking about the case. "Mr. Root said he told his friend that I knew the family probably better than any man in Butte and he asked me if I would come over. I told him I'd come if I felt well enough but that I was not able to go the next day. He said that would be all right. "He said, 'You ought to go over and help as a matter of justice,' and he told me that you (the witness addressed himself directly to Mr. Nuzum) gave your word of honor that you would not subpena me unless I was willing to give my testimony." Mr. Post again took up cross-examination and tried to get the witness to fix the exact date when Mrs. Williamson had spoken to him in New York in 1906 about divorce. The witness said he was yachting that summer along the Atlantic coast with F. Augustus Heinze and was in and out of New York city a great many times during the year and could not be positive as to the exact date, but thought it was in the fall of 1906. ### Husband Knew of No Trouble. Mr. Nuzum recalled Mr. Williamson to ask him whether he was aware of any trouble between himself and his wife in 1909 He said, "No." Attorney Post said he had intended to recall Mr. Williamson for further cross-examination and would employ the present opportunity. He then introduced in evidence a brief letter from Mrs. Williamson to her husband, dated at Butte, Sept. 6, 1912, several months after they had been living apart, in which she quoted a telegram purporting to be sent from a Butte detective to his brother-in-law, John Nelson, in Spokane. The letter was as follows: "Butte Mont., Sept. 6, 1912.—Mr. V. D. illiamson,W Spokane, aWsh.

The bill is highly acceptable and there is nothing lacking to make up an entertainment which any one can enjoy. "A Modern Cleopatra" is the name of a pleasing travesty presented by William Halliday, Anna Turner and a capable company. There is a laugh in every line and the settings have been prepared expressly for this production. The Majestic Musical Four makes up a bright, tuneful offering. Each member of the organization is a high-class musician and the solo and ensemble work of the entertainers is worthy of special mention. The repertoire consists of high-class selections. Kitty Flynn, the "girl from Brighton," is a vivacious, dainty miss with a pleasing voice. She has an original act and her work is all that could be desired. J. R. Armstrong and James Manley present a clever incident from everyday life which they call "It Happened This Way." It is something out of the ordinary and illustrates the manner in which the unsuspecting individual is roped in and trimmed. Bob Rosaire and Howard Prevost are lively acrobatic stars. They have some brand-new stunts and their athletic work would be hard to equal. The latest news of the week is shown in motion pictures by the Empresscope, while the Empress orchestra renders a new musical program. ### VICTIM OF PNEUMONIA.
