Morgantown Man Wants to be Lay
Delegate to the General Conference.

The polity of the NJ. f. church re-
quires the assembly every four years

resentation of four ministerial and
two lay delegates at the general as
sembly, but an amendment will be
introduced at Chicago, and undoubt-
edly adopted allowing laymen equal
representation with ecclesiastics The
natural increase in the conference

isteriai representatives and conse-

seekers after the honor OF represent

WHO DOES IT.
Grafton Leader Tells in Few
Words the Cause.
Field Agent has Helped Along the At
tendance-The Press Of the State
and Church Halls Among the May
Fact0rs-Dr. Raymond Should Pull
i'm His Horns Somewhat.

i'm His Horns Somewhat.
The following well founded arti-
Gle is from the columns of the Graf
ton Leader 1t will be recognized
as eminently fair and correct by
people who are on the ground and
know what the facts are:
Those few Raymondites who are
trying to take unto themselves the
glory of the increased attendance at
the University should bear in mind
that the people of this State under
stand where that honor belongs.
The increase began before Dr.. Ray
mond saw West Virginia, and will
continue after West Virginia ceases
to see DIR. Raymond, provided, he is
not permitted to stay too long.
The energetic and tireless Field
Agent deserves great credit for the
growth Of the University at Nor
gantown, and it cannot be taken
from him. He has gone among the
hills and valleys and persuaded
young men and young women to go
to Morgantown. He has given them
thirst for higher education, and
they are working at Morgant"wn IN
spite of DR.. Raymond rather than
because Of him. The dislike for the
Chicago man on the part of the
student body is thoroughly under
stood, and finds expression in a force
full way throughout the State
Many factors have been at work
to increase the attendance at the
University and enlarge its useful
ness, chief among which has been
the earnest support of the press OF
the State to the end that the lar
gest number possible should be en-
eouraged to attend this school rath-
er than go outside OF the state to
attend schools Of inferior character
and standing Church deno.4:a-.
tions have been doing their part in
a noble way by establishing halls
and in other ways to help the growth
of the school and at the same time
have their student representatives
receive the scholastic benefits con-
ferred by the institution.
DR.. Raymond has had great OPP
portunity to distinguish himself as
the head of a popular and growing
institution of learning, and should
in no way antagonize the people
from whom the school must receive
its support. He must not arrogate
to himself, and act in that conceited
spirit that he and he alone has been
the chief factor in whatever pros
perity has come to the University.
The fact is that lie has been only a
coincidence, and the sooner that
fact is recognized by the official
head Of the institution, and accept
ed, the less frequent occasion will
there be for any friction at the Uni
versity to retard its growth or inn
pair it's usefulness.

THE pETEcTIvE cHANGEs.
Promotions Made Yesterday by the
superintendent of Police.

The expected change in the personnel of
the detective corps at headquarters oc-
Cured yesterday when Major Sylvester Of
fcialIy announced that Detective Charles
W. Proctor would be detailed for duty to
enforce the laws governing the practice of
pharmacy, dentistry, medicine, and sur
gerry, and that Thomas McNamee, who has
been a member of the auxiliary corps Of
detectives, would be promoted to fill the
vacancy caused by the detail Of Proctor
The change will go into effect tomorrow.
In addition Major Sylvester announced
in the general orders several other details
and few transfers TO take effect on the
same date The transfers. which are made
for various reasons are as follows:
Private Foley, Of the Eighth precinct,
sent to the Ninth precinct for mounted
duty; Private Hagan. from the Ninth pre-
cinct 10 the Eighth precinct for foot duty;
! Private Nebb. from the Ninth TO the
| Eighth precinct. Private Van Horn, from
the Third to the Seventh precinct; Acting
/ Sergeant LYDIA, from the Seventh to the
Third precinct vice Sergeant Bradley, Of
the Third precinct transferred to the
Eighth precinct and detailed for post duty.
/ Private Henry, Of the Fourth precinct, was
/ transferred to the sub-station at AnacOstia,
| there to act as day statiOnkeeper.
In an order TO Sanitary Officer Frank,
| Major Sylvester states that he has detailed

! lance service. AS has been previously
| stated. these men will accompany the am
! balances on all missions ana viii act
practically in the same capacity as a pa

| to establish.

| Pearson and Cross, Major Sylvester out
| lines the duties Of Acting Sergeants Duvall
! and Estes, and defines their responsible
/ ties. The acting sergeants will report for
| initial duty at o'clock p. N. on November
] and on each succeeding night, and will
! remain on duty until the following morn
! ing al 6 o'clock, when they will be relieved
| by the inspectors. They will then be free
| from duty until u O'Clock noon when they
| viii report 10 the inspectors at headquar-
/ ters and make such complaints Of derelic-
| tiOns OF duty as have come under their
/ observation in their respective districts.
