PLANS TO SUPPRESS ANARCHY.
Pan-Americnn Conference Appoints
n Special Committee.

CITY OF MEXICO. Oct. 2S.-The Pan
American Conference convened at 10
o'clock this morning in secret session.
Even the secretaries We're not admitted
The question of the attitude of the con-
ference toward the press was probably
settled today.
A further consideration of the rules was
| held. The Committee on Committees re-
port will recommend committee on ar
bitration and a court of arbitration.
This committee will consist of one MEM
Der from each delegation, selected by the
delegation, and Will probable elect its
own chairman. The other committees VIII
vary in number and probably the chair
will appoint the members. The list in
cludes Committees on Court Claims, Com
merce, and Reciprocity; Pan-Amcrican
Railway. Agriculture and Industry, Re
organization Of the Bureau of American
Republics, Rules, Future Conferences
Water Transportation, International
Laws. Resources, and Statistics and En-
crossing and four or five others. The
subject of uniformity of customs. ad-
ministration. and the regulation Of post
rules and commercial nomenclature be-
long to the Committee on Commerce and
Reciprocity.
The general desire for the suppression
Of anarchy has resulted in the appoint
ment Of a committee to undertake to
devise means to that end. The work Of
this committee will be watched with in
terest The scheme contains latent possi-
bilities of trouble and may cause an out
break in the conference when least eX-
pected.
General hopefulness concerning arbitra-
ton is in evidence everywhere. All the
delegations seem to expect some decided
result. 1t would not be surprising to see
efforts made to have the conference adopt
scheme looking toward compulsory ar
bitration, and hopefulness Increases that
these results may be obtained without
the withdrawal OF the Chilean delegation,
though it is known that Chile will resist
vigorously all projects for compulsory
arbitration.

EXPELLED FROM THE CHURCH.
A Methodist Clergyman Forced Out
of the Ministry.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct &.-The Rev.
B. A. Cherry, a well-known Methodist
preacher, whose last charge was at Leo-
anon. was today expelled from the min
istry and the Methodist Church by the
Tennessee Conference. The trial commit
tee reported unanimously as follows:
THE committee OF trial, to whom was
referred the case of the Rev. B. A. Cher
ry. after careful and pra. erful considera-
ton of all the facts, do hereby report that
the charges preferred against the accused
are fully sustained by the evidence pre-
sented, and do hereby expel him from the
ministry and membership of the Method
ist Episcopal Church South, but in view
of the fact that there is some room for
possible doubt as to the mental sanity and
fun moral accountability OF the accused,
we feel that il IS but proper and right to
say in connection with the announcement
OF lis verdict that should developments
of the future establish the fact that his
mind is unbalanced. our Book Of Disci-
pline makes it provisional whereby the
Conference will, when convinced of this
fact, take such action shall exCulpate
him from moral guilt and restore lis
name to the membership of the Confer
ence."
DR.. Cherry was charged with arson and
defrauding insurance companies A resi-
dence recently purchased at Monteagle
and insured as containing much furniture,
was burned. and investigation resulted in
the discovery that the furniture consisted
Of several boxes of waste paper, laths.
and trash. The company refused to pay
the claim, and the policy was surrendered
by DIR. Cherry. Further investigation OF
anothe- i.re at Estjll SpriLgs, by means
Of which DR.. Cherry haI collected s.. .250.
led to DR.. Cherry's returning this amount
to the company from which he had re
ceived It. The last fire was traced to Dr.
