It MAY MARK A NEW ERA
IMPORTANT SESSION OF THE
METHODIST GENERAL CONFER
ENCE is INAUGURATED
SWEEPING REFORMS PROPOSED
Efforts to Raise the Ran on Dancing
and Theater Going and to
Drop Time Limit in
Pastorates.

CHICAGO, May 2-The twenty-ninth
general conference of the Methodist Epis-
copal church-the twenty third of the del
egated congress-began here today. 1t
will last a 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 filed with delegates
from north, south, east and west Warne
and Smith from India, bronzed by the
sun of the equator; Hagan and Camphor,
from Liberia and innumerable others
representing Methodism in all parts of
the world Further back in the big hall,
where the conference is to be held, were
the spectators and the provisional dele
gates, whose fight for admission to the
conference is expected to occupy. the first
days of the meeting.
The peals of the great pipe organ were
still echoing when venerable white-haired
Bishop Thomas Bowman arose to declare
the conference opened. AS the last note
Of the hymn died away Bishop S. NJ.
Merrill took the chair, the first move
made in the business of the conference.
GRAVE ISSUES.
Grave questions confront the gathering
The lay delegates demand vote for vote
with the clerical representatives, and
there are al provisional lay delegates
awaiting action by the conference. A
determined effort will be made to raise
the ban on dancing, card-playing and
theater-going, and arguments advanced
for the conservation of bishops of limited
jurisdiction, the dropping of the time
limit on pastorates, and the referring of
the election of conference editors, secre-
taries and book agents to the committees
governing the different societies. 1t is
also expected that at least some steps
may be taken looking to the reuniting Of
the south branch of the church with the
main body.
There will be n general morning ses-
sion Of the entire conference every day
except on Sundays. The fourteen stand
ing committees whose functions are anal
ogous to those of congressional commit
tees, meet three times a week, seven
each day, and report to the general con-
ference such resolutions as are deemed
worthy OF general discussion.
OF the $50 delegates entitled to seats
the greater number were present this
morning.

Any complaints from city authori- ties, the director, the city engineer, or inspectors?"
 Yes; I asked some of the inspectors and one pointed out inequalities in the size of the brick"
 Have you been in Syracuse this summer looking over brick?'
 NO. sir; l haven't been in Syracuse this summer I was never there but once in my life and then the only brick I saw was what was in the pave- ments.'
 Were you ever attorney for the Syra cuse Brick company
 T don't remember that l ever was I would have been glad to have been when l was practcing, but l had no such good fortune'
 Did you ever make statement that Syracuse brick ought to be laid on Church street in front of the city hall?'
 "Yes, 1 will say so now.'
 After the Catskll brick were remov- ed from Church street were Syracuse brick ordered to complete the pave- men there with?"
 After MT. Blakeslee got the contract for laying the Grand avenue pavement it was suggested that Syracuse brick might be sent here to be used on Church street if it was required, and that if it was not required there 1t could be lad on Grand avenue"
 By whose authority were Syracuse brick ordered for Church street?''
 By my authority, to be used there if the common council should order it..
 What was your authority to stop the work on Church street after the order had been passed?"
 "The general complaint of citizens"
 Does the charter give you that pow er?"
 Yes; the charter makes the mayor responsible for the general welfore of the eitv''
 'Is it true that you ordered Syracuse brick for Church street without con- sulting the common oouncil?"
 "No."
 When did you last see representa- tive of the Syracuse Brick company"
 Within the last two or three days"
 Have your conversations with him always been in the city hall?"
 Yes
 The mayor then stated that the firm of Rice X Turner had agreed, when he ordered work stopped on Church street, to call their contract quits at the corner of Church and Elm streets. and agreed not to hold the city responsible for damages for stopping their con- tract.
 Mr. Turner of Rice & Turner who was next called, said that his firm had made the agreement referred to by the mayor on condition that their work of laying the East Chapel street pavement should be approved and that 15 per cent, of the contract price for that work was paid over That amount had not been paid.
 The committee adjourned at Il o'clock to meet again next~ Thursday night, when MT. Troup, ex-City Engineer A. B. Hill, John A. Doolittle, and perhaps others will be asked to give testimony

 "Did you receive any report of such
 a .est?'
 "I received a report from the city en- l gineer on test" | "Do you remember what brick was l mentioned most favorably by him?' | q do not" "Did you approve the contract with | the Eastern Paving Brick company for | Catskill brick?" "I did, because their bid was the low est one. I don't suppose my approval was necessary. From what was said of the brick by MT. Kelly in his report, l should approve it again. ''Do you know how many brick were received from the Eastern Paving Brick company" NO sir
 Did you know at the time where these brick were ordered for, that is when they were ordered?" T couldn't say what orders had been passed then.
 Did you counsel with the director as to who was to be appointed Inspector of brick on the paving?'
  tor about that, that I remember, was that I wanted inspectors who knew something about brick"
 How long after the pavement was started on Whitney avenue did you con- slider that the work ought to be stop ned"
 II couldn't say; it was when parties living on Whitney avenue complained | about the brick" At whose instigation did you order the work stopped?" At my own. I received complaints from James F. English. A. H. Kim berly. Major Clark, George White, John A. Doolittle, and probably forty or fifty in all. I heard so much complaint that I didn't think that it was the brick to continue to lay, especially in front of the city hall. I ordered the work stop ped until the cimmon council should determine whether that brick or the brick for which the next lowest bid was received should be laid"

 The New Havens continued their good work yesterday by taking game from the Meriden team at Savin Rock. The score was to 4 and the story of the game is in the batting column. The Blues landed on Farmer Brown for tlt- teen good clean hits, one of which was double by Bone. Hopkins umpired the game and, as usual, there was some kicking on the part of both teams.
 The Bridgeports will try to take a game from the New Havens this after noon at Savin Rock. The locals have a chance to land in second place if they take the game.
