ENDORSEMENT OF
 ARBITRATION LAWS
Industrial Convention Thinks Trouble Between La
 borers and Employers Should be Arbtrated

senting vote, and places this convention in the lead to settle labor questions in prescribed way and is probably the most innortant action of the convention.
 Mr. Alexander Helper, secretary of the Retailers Association of Baltimore, dellV- cred an address on Railroads and Their Relations To the Industrial Progress of the South" which was enthusiastically received and greatly applauded by the convention. Mr. Helper contended that railroads con stitute the great territorial arteries of com merce and business in general; that trans portation underlies material prosperity In every department of agriculture and manu- factures and commerce.; that a profitable diversity of crops without railroads is quite impossible; that railroads prosper only when the nation itself prospers, and that railroads foster and further all kinds of in- dustries MT. Helper contended that rail- roads were the backbone of the south, and that the vigorous and progressive south to- day owes her activity and advancement chiefly to the railroads that traverse her territory.
 MT. Helper also contended that the Amer ican railroads furnish the best service in the world, at lowest rates of. fare, at the same time paying their employees very much higher wages than are paid similar services in any-other country on the globe. MT. Helper said that railway men like Van derbilt, Depew, Cassatt Provost, Morgan, belmont, GOu1u, (OWen, huntingdon, 1ldnl, Fish, Walton, Fink, James J. Hill, Ingalls,, Samuel Spencer, Andrews, John Skelton Williams-men of brawn, brain, good judg ment and foresight, strongly backed by pluck and perseverance, were the masterly captains of industry and material progress, and are, in a great degree, the creators of our new civilization, and are men whom our nation should respect and honor for the grand and useful work they are doing for t"is remarkable age of industrial and com mercial and manufacturing achievement, progress and development.
 Colonel J. J. Garnett of New York ad- dressed the convention in the interest of a southern exposition in New York in 1902. The address was well received by the con Vention, which was in sympathy with the movement, and adopted strong resolutions commenting the plan.
 A resolution was adopted thanking Sec retary Wilson for attending the conven- tion, and still another providing for the appointment of a committee to submit a plan at the New Orleans meeting for the permanent organization of the convention as to society to promote southern inter- ests.
 The work If the convention was prac- votes of thanks to the gentlemen who had addressed the convention and to the Chat tanooga chamber of commerce for their hospitality and courtesy, the convention adjourned sine die The work accomplished has been effectual for good, and the in sttution has been placed on solid basis.

DR. KELLEY LEAVES
 RACE FOR BISHOP
Will Cause a Decided Change in
 the Vote
MOVE IN .BERRY'S INTEREST
Committee on Book Conc sssion Decided to Recomm snd Consolidation of the Three Church Papers and Re-
 moval of Book Depository

Chicago May 17-Dr. William V. Kelly, of the East New York conference, a leading candidate for bishop before the Methodist conference, withdrew from the race today. His withdrawal gave rise to report of contest between Dr. Spellmayer and Dr. Berry. According to the story told the plan is to elect the former as the eastern repre- sentative and the latter from the west.
 Tonight it is said the Kelly vote will go to Spellmeyer together with sufficient number of Dr. Derrys friends to elect the minister from Jew Jersey After this is accomplished, the Spellmeyer, Kelley and Berry forces will unite to elect the latter.
 In the interest of economy the committee on book concession at it's meeting today de- cided to recommend to the general confer ence the consolidation of three church papers and the removal of the book depos- itory, now located at St. Louis, to Kansas City.
 The publications to be united under one management are The Central Advocate, St. Louis; the Omaha Advocate, Omaha, and the Rocky Mountain Advocate, Denver. These periodicals will be consolidated under the name of the Central Advocate, and pulp lished at Kansas City, if the general con- ference concurs in the committees recom- mendations. The large book concern estab- lished in St. Louis more than quarter of a century ago will be transferred to Kansas City as a matter of business expediency. The three papers enumerated have been op- erated at loss for number of years at the expense of the fund for superannuated preachers.
 The subcommittee on periodicals and de- postories reported advising the changes re- ferred to, and the entire afternoon was spent in debating the question.

THE CLARK CASE
Governor Smith Claims tn Appointment
 is Invalid

Chicago May TIA special to the Times Herald from Helena, Mont, says:
 When the United States senate committee on privileges and elections meets tomorrow 1t will have to face another complication in the Clark senatorial case Governor Smith will wire to the senate tomorrow protesting against the acceptance of the credentials of MT. Clark on the appointment of Lieuten- ant Governor Spriggs
 Governor Smith will base his protest on the ground that the appointment is vitiat- ed because of fraud. He will allege that the resignation of Clark was written in May Il, was the result of the erasure of the original date, which, it will be alleged, can be easily proved by examination of the document.
 He will also allege that the resignation was in the possession of Charles A. Clark, son of the senator, for several weeks, and that the resignation of Senator Clark at the time he did resign and his appoint ment by the lieutenant governor. In the carrying out of the plot it will be added misrepresentation and other devious methods were used to get the governor out of the state.
 The Governor holds that owing to alleged fraud in the appointment of MT. Clark that appointment is void and that he will him. self make an appointment to fill the va cancy from Montana.
 It is believed that Martin McGinnis who represented Montana in congress in the early days of the territory, will be chosen to fill the vacancy.

THOMPSON TRIED
 TO SHIELD NELLY Main Charge Against Him is
 that of Conspiracy BAIL REDUCED TO S1,O0O Th.s Was Deposited in Cash by the Danish Counsel Nicely Admits HIS
 Bail Deposit Was His
 Own Money
BAIL REDUCED TO SlOOO

Havana, May 1.-The principal charge against the Havana postmaster, E. P Thompson, who with w. H. Reeves, dep uty auditor of the island, and Edward Nova and Jorge Mascara, Cuban clerks in the stamp department, was arrested yester- day, will be that he entered into conspir- acy with Corydon Rich, the clerk who has confessed to knowledge of many of the transactions, and who will give evidence for the government to shield himself. and the financial agent of posts
 The prosecution says Thompson delib- erately received vouchers and ordered that the changes be made in the books and accounts with the manifest intention of shielding Neey. Moya and Mascara ad- init selling over $1,sOO worth of an old is- sue of stamps through the windows, which were not called for in the requisition.
 Thompson says that though he ordered the alteration of certain figures at the request of Rich, still he did so without knowing that they were of a criminal na- ture. He thinks he might have been treat ed with more standardization dis missed or requested to resign.
 Thompson's bail has been fixed at $10,- 900 cash, which is not yet forthcoming.
 Thompsons bail was ultimately reduced afrom Sl0,000 to s1.0OO, which was deposited in cash by the Danish consul, Herr Gull met, wealthy merchant.
 The bail of Mayo and Mascara has been reduced to $1,500, which has not yet been furnished. Reeves will be allowed to re- main al his own home in charge of special agents. During the investigations now in progress he will be called upon daily to give evidence and it is also felt that bail required of him would necessarily be heavy and probably would not be obtained.
 It is reported here that Neely has admit ted that his bail deposit was his own money, and request will be made for the seizure of that amount as belonging to the postal department should 1t prove that the funds came out of his own pocket. It is also felt that in the circumstances his bail is excessively light Although he was first charged with peculations to the amount of $36, 900, it Is now believed that he obtained the larger part of the s10O.OOO which is said to cover the dedication.

Forbis del egates at large to the national convention at Philadelphia. The platform commends the administration of President Mckinley, denounces trusts and on local affairs says:

 We also denounce In unmeasured terms the betrayal of republican principles by the eleven republicans who voted for and assisted in the election at the last legis- lature of a democrat in the person or W. A. Clark to the United States senate.

principally in Hawaii to prevent the
bubonic plague from securing a foot

possessions by burning down a consid-
cradle part of the Japanese and Chi

Two Japanese residents are said to
have lost their lives. furniture and
practically all belongings The loss is
estimated at 100000 The Chinese loss
was estimated at about s2.000.000. The
Japanese Consul General at Hawaii
first brought the matter to the atten-
ton OF the Hawaiian authorities. ask
ing that the losses incurred by the Jap
anese subjects be reimbursed to them.
President Mckinley gave the necessary
authority to Governor Dole to appoint
a commission OF five members to pass
upon all claims OF this nature. but on
objection of the claimants this fell
through. The authorities here feel that
1t Is a matter which Hawaii should adj
just. and moreover there Is no fund
available for such losses. The subject
is under consideration. however. and II
Is hoped some means may be adopted
by cooperation OF Washington and Ho-
nolulu for adjusting the matter.

Krueger's action shows how hopeless
