Leigh R. Brewer, bishop of the Episcopal church of Montana, began the eleventh annual convention of the diocese yesterday 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. Lambert H. Linsley of Kalispell preached the sermon at the service. The speaker's subject was "The Triumphant Proclamation of Christianity." With an augmented choir, special music marked the service. The anthem was from "The Messiah." Sunday school children were dispensed with their regular morning instruction and the bishop made short talks to the children. Among them was Bishop Brewer, the Rev. W. S. Watson of Dillon and the Rev. L. P. Gallins of Helena, who is superintendent of home missions for the Japanese in Montana. The convention was attended by many visitors. Both the morning and evening services were attended. The evening services were given principally to the annual address to the convention made by Bishop Brewer. There was special music for the evening as well as the morning. ### The Bishop's Address. The bishop said, in part: "There are 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 manifest all through the convention which has been rising for a generation. In the convention of 1914 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. Religion in the Public Schools: The feeling sends out word that we have come to a crisis in our missionary work and asks that we send up our prayer to Almighty—something that we will back up with and hearts of all the children of the church, or the church may do it without us. Missionary Doors Open: Doors are opening for the missionary to enter, more than can be filled. Applying at home and abroad for more men than can be found. They cannot be answered, for there is a deficiency of $70,000 in the missionary treasury of the church, and the probability of a large addition to this account under the prayer of the church. ### Means Not Concentrated. "There are means enough for the work, if the churches felt they had not concentrated. There are men and women enough to do all this work. But their thoughts are not united to sacred ministering for the good of humanity and the need of communities, and we cannot have them because we have not united them. "The third outstanding mark of the convention was the action taken in regard to the social services. In the convention of 1919 a canon was adopted and a commission, known as the social service commission, was organized and is gradually getting the church organized through the home missionary districts of the church. It is a most important part of our work. It will be a difficult thing to get religious moral instruction back in the public schools, but efforts are being made and I think the time will come. Every one believes that the Sunday school instruction is defective. But the church has something to do for positive enterprise. We have a beginning of it in the work of the Sunday school commission. "The fourth important mark of the convention was the discussion of the social service work. We have a great deal to learn on the social service side of that subject and it has been introduced at national conventions arousing interest throughout the country. ### Strikes and Boycotts. "Strikes and boycotts are taking place in every land, interfering with business, interrupting production, and sometimes threatening the peace of nations. It is no wisdom in saying that the church does not want these things. The church must find a remedy. The church must take care of all his followers. We must consider those who are angry and whose wrongs we try to make amends. We have a commission on social service in this church and I hope we shall listen to any request that it may bring before us with interest, and be ready to help carry out what seems best and wise and just for all. "Five bishops have died during the year: the Rt. Rev. Henry Dawson Robinson, missionary bishop of Nevada; the Rt. Rev. John Scarborough, bishop of New Jersey for 31 years; the Rt. Rev. William Woodruff Niles, bishop of New Hampshire; the Rt. Rev. Markee Morrison, bishop of North Dakota; and the Rt. Rev. Charles Cadding, bishop of Oregon. ### Coadjutor Bishop. "In accordance with the notice that I gave in my last convention address, I recommend the appointment of a coadjutor bishop. I do this, not because I feel unfit to continue the work, but because there is more work to be done in the diocese than one bishop can possibly attend to, and it is reasonable to expect that I shall not able to do this in the future work I have in the past. Should an election take place, I shall provide the coadjutor of the diocese with a coadjutor in the interest in the missionary work of the church. "The archdeacon has done his work through the archdeaconates faithfully. The work of the Woman's Parochial society has been carried on without sound quietly, but with true success. ### Statistics and Finances. "I believe we have made some progress. St. Paul's mission church has been built at Thompson Falls and is progressing finely. Various improvements have been made in church buildings and grounds. "It may be granted that we shall be willing to believe that something has been done, as shown by the record of the sixth missionary department of the September October reports. "What success the chapters of St. Andrew's Brotherhood in this diocese has met with during the year, I do not know, except that it has continued to be interested in its work and whatever work has been done. ### Financial Report. "The reports will show that there have been 163 baptisms and 130 confirmations. The total enrollment of communicants is 1,841, a gain of 32. The value of church property is $287, and a deficit was found during that of 22. The value of our church property and grounds is $1,750,000, with indebtedness about $10,000, nearly onethird of the church debt having been paid this year. "The treasure has received from diocesan and parish funds, $7,000 from missions $1,171 from the auxiliary; from Sunday schools, $67; from individual pledges $70, and from in-interest $19. The total is [illegible], while the deficit was $—. "We have added to the episcopate fund $— and have received $— profit from unused interest. The archdeacon's fund has been increased a little over $11,000. I am grateful to say that this entire debt has been paid. ### Beginning a New Leaf. "Once more we close up the record of a year that is past and are about the page to begin a new leaf. Poets and philosophers have been looking at the life that we live as a web. In a very real sense it is a web. We cannot change yesterday nor foresee the character of the web will be until it shall be fully woven. But we can go by faith trusting that God will accept our purpose, our faithful work for him and the wool to show for his glory." --- **WIFE'S CURIOSITY IS CAUSE OF HIS ARREST** When Mrs. C. F. Brown of Denver wrote a letter to the chief of police saying that she did not know whether her husband was in Butte or not, as he seemed to have wandered away, she came to Butte out of curiosity. Police arrested Elijah C. Brown, of her husband, who is a telegraph operator. He was released on $100 bonds. He was arrested at 14 South Wyoming street by Detective Van— SLOAN—Died in this city June 21. The remains of Mrs. J. F. Sloan was removed to the funeral chapel of Duggan & Reed. Funeral announcement later. --- ## Column 3 # GEORGE DAVIS TALKS ABOUT BUTTE SOCIETY ## STAR WITNESS AT SPOKANE IS A DIVORCE TRIAL. **Well-known globe trotter and art connoisseur narrates in detail events connected with case on this side of the range.** ## CASE OF THE WILLIAMSONS George Wesley Davis of Butte, aged 42, unmarried, who said that he is prominent in Butte society, "such as it is," and is known as "Uncle George" by the young women of the society of Butte, was a witness on the thirtieth day of the Volney D. Williamson divorce trial, testified that Mrs. Williamson had consulted him about obtaining a divorce as long ago as the winter of 1905-6, and three years ago had again consulted him, and told him she had been cruelly treated by her husband and had him injured property. Mr. Davis' testimony was the feature of the case yesterday, as Harry Rohst, who was charged to be a witness, was not allowed to testify and Mrs. Williamson, who was to be a star witness, answered but two or three questions. Davis' testimony indicated that Attorney H. W. Nusum for Mr. Williamson had shown that the Williamson, with whom he was well acquainted, as he knew their family, had come to him in his apartments in the Leggat building to ask him advice for her sister, and beg a loan of money. "How came you to a conversation with you about getting either a property settlement or a divorce at that time?" asked Mr. Nusum. "She did." "What did she say?" "She said she wanted to consult with some good lawyer about getting a divorce from her husband. The lawyer she mentioned is James B. Ross, who was also my personal friend. I went to the later and said she had consulted him, but she didn't tell me what was said. He testified that about that time Mrs. Williamson was angry with her husband because of his attentions to other women and her father, but that George, she said that she was not satisfied with any of the houses viewed by his relatives—and was not pleased with Mr. and Volney. ### "She Doesn't Leave Us." "She asked me," said the witness, "if I thought Mrs. Williamson could have a home of her own? I told her she couldn't. I said to her that Volney was already well along in years; and therefore he'd saved many things she could enjoy if she lived with Mishel and Volney. She said she'd stick it out if she could. I said, 'that's the way for it, I think that is, that's the way to do it. She said 'George, I've talked there and won't leave us alone at all. I told him that he had better leave me to go to bed, and Volney won't bother me.'" Mr. Davis was aided in his examination by Counsel Post. When he came, he said he saw Mr. Williamson looking straight at his questioner. He had a friendly nodding and bowing and 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 that she called him "Uncle George" or "Pop," which is the designation which Mr. Davis is known by to the young women in the society circles in Butte. He said that he had business interest in the Butte Daily Standard, Butte Daily-Estate Mining Company and other newspapers in New York and Boston, as well as the Butte Interurban, and spends a great deal of time in New York and Boston. Replying to questions on interruption, Mr. Davis said that he had met Mrs. Williamson when she saw him in Butte, and asked him about a divorce from some time after he met Mrs. Williamson. "Did she on that occasion give her fatherly advice?" asked Mr. Post. "I told her what I thought of it. I told her it is hard to get a divorce, and I told her to go, had the proposition of a divorce to Mr. Davis more than half." "Did you at that time advise her to get a divorce, and didn't she say she was going to go as far as the divorce?" asked Post. Mr. Post then inquired into Mr. Davis' arrangements on account of her, asking him if he did not come over with Mrs. Williamson from New York in the Williamson case. He said he came over to Spokane on business on the train. He said Mr. Davis said he told him that Mollie was "treating him well." He then called Mr. Davis "Mister" and asked his opinion as to Mrs. Williamson. ### Sister Wanted More Dresses. "I said I thought she was treated well," he said. "She said well, it was a hard life. She said Mrs. Williamson wanted more all the time." He then named those who which had been tentatively selected as Miss Mildred Williamson, and said that he would not live in, the witness said, the city with Mrs. Williamson, and said "Mr. Davis got the impression from a cer-[illegible]" that it was not as a good life. Mr. Williamson went immediately into his office when he come up to redirect examination. He then filed last Saturday, as Mrs. Williamson had spoken of both divorce. Regarding his acquaintance with her, he saw Mrs. Williamson was born in Butte, where F. Augustine Helms and was in Spokane with her. He said he came to be in Spokane in connection with a business transaction of some sale. "What?" He most recently from Spokane last Friday, where he had been not for a short time before that. He said that Mr. J. G. Laity had told him to see him. He said that while in Spokane he had called a Mr. Ross, one of the attorneys for Volney William. He said the whole town of Spokane was talking about the divorce. Mr. Ross said in interruption: "I would probably better than Williamson, we were talking about for about 45 minutes at all of me." I was not able to go to the next day when I reached the city." He said, "You ought to go over Mr. Ross' house occasionally. I told he was going to get about." He then went directly to Mr. Nusum's cross-examination and said that he could not subpoena him unless I was not going to be here in time." The witness said he was parking with F. Augustine Helms and was in Butte around the Atlantic coast with F. Augustine Helms and has been here many times during the year and could not say when he had been here last, but thought it was in the winter of 1912 on some matter in Butte. Mr. Nusum recalled Mr. Williamson then to the witness stand to testify as follows: "At Butte, Sept. 4, 1915—Mr. V. D. Shannon, W. Spokane—A well.
