Cleveland. o., May 5.-Bishop An
drews called the general conference Of

this morning at O'Clock. A committee
Of nine will consider the interests Of the
American Bible society. A contest be-
tween the lay and ministerial delegates

amendments were offered. and a num-
Der of sharp speeches were made. 1t
was finally decided to appoint COM
mittee consisting of one. lay and one
ministerial delegate from each confer
ence district to consider the position Of

whenever the committees are to be ap-
Sointed having equal lay and ministeri-
al membership that the lay delegates
select their own members of the COM
mittee. This was lost
At 10 o'clock the debate on the wo-
man question was resumed. Daniel

He said: THE time has gone by when
anybody shall he excluded from church
offices on account Of race. color or sex.
The Rev. DIR. Neely, Of Philadelphia,
who Is leading the fight against the
wcmen, said: This question Is not one
that involves chivalry or popular de-
mand. There Is net a man In the house
who is under Instructions. We are
simply jurors and TO church or confer.
ence has the right to instruct US. Men
and women are oCe In Christ Jesus, but
they are no. one In the general con.
ference. You can't ordain women. II
is a part Of the Methodist constitution
that the governing power is with the
men,"
After number of other speeches fOl
and against the admission Of women
the Rev. DR.. Charles F. Stafford. OF
Iowa, moved that vote be taken on the
question at 10 a. m. tomorrow.
