YESTERDAYS DEVELOPMENTS

YESTERDAYS DEVELOPMENTS.
The whereabouts of Francis Her
mans and what disposition he made of
Annie Samuelsen's body is still en-
shrouded in mystery. The only de-
velopments of Importance yesterday
were some facts concerning the minis
ter's life here, which placed him in
bad light and adds to his reputation
as a bad man.
Pastor Hermans kept continually
four horses. and almost every evening
he would go out driving with young
ladies. usually staying out as late as
IL or u oclc TX. 1t seems that the
preacher was on intimate terms with
more than one or two young ladies. and
it was not unusual to see him out
every night and each time with a diff
ferent lady.
It was a day of speculation in police
circles over what had been done with
Annie Samuelsen's body. Thatehe has
been murdered here is generally ac-
oepted. ana now that all clues to the
shipping of the body have been fol-
lowed up and failed, the police feel
confident that the remains have been
disposed of somewhere in this vicin-
ity. A search of the basement of the
little church a few days ago was fruit

by the new arrangement are left without
bishops.
Bishop Newman has choice of either San
Francisco or Los Angeles and there will
probably be warm contest between these
cities as to which shall be the place of
episcopal residence. The bishop may,
however, alternate between the two cities.
Bishop McCabe has the choice of either
New Orleans or Fort Worth, Texas. He
has practically decided in favor of the
latter on account of it's better facilities
for reaching northern Texas.

ternoon certain minor changes in the
manner of trying persons under charges
We're adopted upon recommendation of the
committee on judiciary. The proposition
that person under charges might be
tried at once by court to be called to-

Chief objection to it being that it gave 100

consolidation of the Sunday school and

The conference was informed of the
death of a missionary lay delegate, DR..

The cause was consumption. DR.. Scott
was a medical missionary in North China
and was about SS years of age.
DR.. Swink made the report Of the
committee on insurance. After stating
the great saving which could be made
possible by church insurance plan,
it recommended that the general con-
ference adopt the plan followed by the
west Wisconsin conference for mu-
tual church insurance company, and
that the business of the company
should be transacted by a board of
insurance consisting of fifteen men. one
from each general conference district,
to be elected by the delegations, and
five at large. to be appointed by the
bishops. The plan was advocated by

General Ruhling condemned the
scheme as visionary and impracticable,
and said 1t would result in a scandal,
as he said the Asbury life insurance

DR.. Wilson offered an amendment,
which provided that the report be re-
ferred to a committee of fifteen, to be
appointed by the bishops. This COM
mittee was to carry out its provisions
if found practicable. 1t was tabled by
a small majority. The report was final
