Woman Denied Delegacy at Diocese Convention
Miss Alice B. Arthur of Cohasset, first woman named to attend the diocesan convention, was refused admission in her official role as delegate.

The convention also pledged 232,569 to the church pension fund and discussed preparedness and prison reform, electing officers and delegates for New York in October.
