Co|OTed Minister Says Crusade of Hate Against Negro
 Exists in South
QUESTION OF MIXED SCHOOLS
Some Favor Them and Others Intimate the Negro Will Have to
 Get Out of the 
 Church.

Pittsburg, November 15.-In today g session of the general missionary commit session of the general missionary comit- tee of the Methodist Episcopal church the burning question was the negro question" This was precipitated by a motion made by Bishop Foss upon an ap- plication from Alabama conferences for missionary aid. The bishops motion was that separate appropriations for white work in the south (Maryland and Della ware excepted and the coored work, mostly south, be referred to committees at once.
 The Rev. Dr. H. Nelson, colored, made an eloquent plea against the motion. He said the Methodist Episcopal church was the only church in the south which stands for the fatherhood of God and the broth erhood of man; that there is now a cru sade of hate all through the south against the black man, and that the colored peo- pie down there are looking to the Meth odlst Episcopal church. north, for help.
 The Rev. J. F. Boucher of Baltimore said that while he was the friend of the colored man, he could not help but know that 1t is at this time impossible to suc- cessfully conduct mixed schools colleges or churches. especially in the south.
 'It Is not the fault of the black man, he said. ''it is his misfortune"
 Bishops Hamilton and Waldon and Dr. Buckley spoke against the motion, after which it was laid over until tomorrow
 During the debate some of the speakers plainly intimated that the time was com ing when the negro would have to retire from the Methodist church as co-mem- Der with his white brother and organize . branch of his own.
