Methodist Episcopal General Con-
ference Reaches an Impor-
tant Conclusion.
Question Has Been the Subject
of Dispute for Upwards of
a Hundred Years.
Chicago Gathering Attended by
Delegates From Every Sec
tiOn Of the Globe.

CHICAGO, May 3.-The Goth general
conference Of the Methodist Episcopal
church-the 2Sd of the delegated con-
gress-began here during the day. It
will last month and is expected to be
the most important of any conference
since the memorable one of 1914 when
the South branch Of the church severed
relations with the main body over the
slavery question. The pit Of the Audi
torium theater was filled with delegates
representing Methodism in all parts of
the world. Of the 75O delegates en-
titled to seats the greater number were
present.
By a unanimous vote the delegates to
the conference decided to give equal
lay representation in all Methodist con-
ferences. The announcement of the
vote was greeted with cheers, as it was
victory that had been fought for for
100 years.
A fight was expected over the matter
but it did not aaterialize. The subject
was introduced by Rev. j. M. Buckley
of the Central New York conference.
He moved the adoption of the rules Of
the last general conference with the ex-
eeption of Nos. and 18. This was
Carried Almost Unanimously
and DR.. Buckley asked the vote on the
Rock River proposition. The PROPOSE
ton made at the Rock River conference
was for equal lay representation in all
Methodist conferences, annual and gen.
eral. The proposition was read and
unanimous approval followed. The
book Of discipline, in reference to rep
resentation at conferences, was changed
to read thus:
"The lay delegates shall consist of
one layman for each annual conference,
and such annual conferences as have
Aore than one ministerial delegate,
which conference shall each be entitled
to as many lay delegates as ministerial
Delegates
The provisional delegates, by prac-
tically unanimous vote, We're admitted
to seats in the conference. There was
some doubts as to the outcome of this
matter early, but the vote over the
equal representation proposition cleared
these away and the overwhelming VIC
tory was not q surprise,
