RUSSIAN CHURCH RULERS ELECTED

PETROGRAD, Aug. 30 (Correspondence of The Associated Press) A decision for or against the continued union of Church and State under the new provisional government will be decided during the coming months. An Oecumenical Congress of the Russo-Greek Orthodox Church will meet in the fall or the early winter, and at probably the same time there will take place a gathering of the lay Constituent Assembly, which with or without the consent of the Oecumenica Congress may reach its own conclusions as to whether State and Church shall separate. In preparation for the Oecumenical Congress, procuror of the Holy Synod Lvoff has convoked a "Pre-Congress Council," with the function of preparing reform projects to be laid before the Congress. In the Council will sit representatives of the Holy Synod, seven bishops, and delegates from the "Congress of Clergy and Laymen," which, to the number of more than 1,000, already has sat at Moscow; together with prominent monks, dignitaries of the Church of Georgia and representatives of the Orthodox sectarians. The Pre-Congress Council will draft a law regulating election to the Congress. It will prepare bills for reconstructing the Synod, reorganizing Church government in Finland and Georgia, and reforming the ecclesiastical Courts. These and other bills will be submitted to the Oecumenical Congress. Meanwhile the provisional reform of the Orthodox Church Is proceeding. The principle of election of church dignitaries is in force. Among the high

est dignitaries thus far elected by vote

of clergy and laymen is Benjamin,

Bishop of Gdovsk, who is now titular

Bishop of Petrograd and Metropolitan of Petrograd. As candidate of the

mass of the clergy and of the prohi

bitlonist workingmen, Benjamin de

feated to radical Church reformer An

drew. Bishop of Ufa. Benjamin's elec

tion as Bishop of Petrograd has been

confirmed; but the Synod has suspend

ed confirmation of his election as Met

ropolitan on the ground that canonical

law requires that a Metropolitan shall have authority over a definitely

bounded district, whereas no metro-

politancy of Petrograd exists. The Pre-

Congress Council will be invited to

create six metropolitancies.

Another reform is the choice of young clerics for high positions. Bish

op Benjamin is only 45; and Bishop Pachomlus of Tchernigoff, also elected by popular vote since the Revolution, is only 44. The agitation for the reform of monastic life continues. At the Monks' Congress at Moscow, reformers suggested the transformation of all monasteries into labor communities. They complained that in some monasteries a third of the revenue goes for the personal use of the Father Superior.

It is said that Bloomer Allen, an Arkansas City, Ark., fisherman, when unable to pull a seventy-five-pound catfish from the Arkansas river dam, chained the fish and dragged it through the river to Arkansas City, a distance of four miles. When he reached the city several men assisted blrn in pulling the fish out of the water. ,
