MOSsBACKS PLENTY.
Enough to Keep the Women in
the Background.
A Paradox for the Conference to
WrestIe With.

Chicago, April IA special to the
Times-H Herald from New York. says:
Women as lay delegates can not enter
the coming general conference of the
Methodist church, in Cleveland. through
a door opened wide by a constitutional
amendment By direct vote OF the min
listers of the church on a plain
issue the women are beaten.
The big Troy conference in session at
Gloversville settled the question by
voting down the Baltimore amend
ment 113 to IS. This does not abso-
lutely decide the woman question in
its bearing on the coming conference
but it does destroy the chief reliance
of the women.
This question, the most Important
and the most far reaching in possibili-
ties the Methodist church has ever
been called on to face. is now left in a.
state of more hopeless confusion than
ever
The women may yet win i'm the COM
ing conference, but can win only by
resort to some parliamentary expedient
in the conference.
Up to today with three annual con-
ferences to hear from. the women lack
ed 40 votes of having the necessary
three-fourths Of all votes cast on the
Baltimore amendment. TO make up
that deficiency, and get enought addi-
tional votes to insure victory they
had to have 300 votes out of the 425 in
the three remaining conferences.
The Troy conference. having given
the women only seVenty-eieht votes am
and having thrown 113 votes against
them, their last hope of winning on the
baltimore amendment is gone. After
the action of the Troy conference there
is majority of l54 against the Balti-
more amendments Inasmuch as the
women side Of the question must have
lhree votes FOR every one opposed 4G2
votes would now be required to put il
on equal footing with the opposition.
w hateNer action the east Maine and
the North Dakota conferences may
take with only 1871 votes between them
it cannot effect the result These fig
ures, giving the total votes on the BaI-
timore amendment speak for them
I selves.
Total votes cast 1O120, total for Bal
1 timore amendment 7511 total against
( Baltimore amendment $500. required
I three-fourths to carry amendment a.
/ 063; margin in excess of oue-fourth
/ against amendment 1874
but the Hamilton amendment which
/ has also been before the annual con-
/ ferences for consideration. provides
4 that lay delegates must be men. lit is
! also defeated. BY its defeat the infer
enuIal decIara ton OF the church is that
eligibility TO lay delegateship shall
not be continued TO men but shall be
understood as being extended to WO-
men.
Thus the women are debarred from
the general conference by defeat Of the
Baltimore amendment, ald admitted
by defeat of the Hamilton amendment.
The general conference must wrestle
with this paradox.

Chicago, April 1.-THE National 81

coast at Oakland, Cal, May l. This
is the date decided on by Robert WEIGH,
member of the League of American
WheeImen's racing board for that dis
trict.
The California riders some time ago
despaired of being able to start the big
series of cycle events owing to disa-
greemets over dates. One city wanted
a meet that another had already, and
none other would satisfy the promoters
The circuit was to begin at san Fran
cisco, the opening tournament to be
succeeded by ten others that would
bring it to the boundary line of the
state
The petty fights over dates discour-
aged Member WEIGH of the racing
board. and the California branch of
the circuit was dropped and the open
ing date assigned to Denver.
The Colorado Wheeln7en did not like
the arrangements and expressed them
selves as not being able to get matters
ready at such a short notice. The Cal
ifOrnia wheel clubs in the meantime
had become awakened to the great IN
jury their petty JealOusies had caused
and asked for another chance to rear
range their schedule. This was given
them and as a result every city IN the
west is satisfied.

cited followers who had heard of the
rumor. Chancellor Snow joined the
posse.
Proceeding to the woods northwest

party went stealthily. Some had clubs
some guns. and some went out of cur

their search. but it wasn't Geo Tay-
Tor. 1t was simply a poor, demented
creature who was wandering about
istlessly. They returned in disgust.
