IOWA METHODTSTS' PROBLEM
Must q Man Live with His Wife to Be q
Proper Faster.
WIFE OF REV. HENNESS FORCES THE ISSUE
n IL al Conference, often I'm Tears,
and the Matter Has Been Or
dered Considered attn spe-
ciaI Church Trial.

KEoKUK, Ia, Sept. 20.-The Iowa confer
ence Of the Methodist church was aroused
today by the sudden and unexpected pres
entation Of the case OF Rev. p. j. Henness,
one Of Its members now living In South
Dakota. Mr.. Henness separated from his
wife during the last year and refuses to
state the reason His wife is here at the
conference, often in tears, and her hus-
band will not speak to her. Mr.. Henness
tried to have the case ventilated on the
floor Of the conference, but Bishop Ham
ilton referred 1t to a trial by a committee
Of eleven members, with two Judge adVo-
Gates and two attorneys for Henness. The
charges before the trial committee, which
is sitting with closed doors, are that under
the conditions Hepness is not a suitable
minister to be sent out as a pastor. No
question Of sexual morality is involved
The verdict win settle the policy of the
church on a new question. Henness and
his attorneys insisted that a correspondent
OF the press be admitted to the sessions of
the trial committee, but this was refused
and executive sessions were ordered. The
trial makes a sensation in the conference
and is expected to continue until Monday.
Tonight a second bombshell exploded
when friends Of Henness began to call at
tention to the fact that his case Is parallel
with that Of one of the Oldest bishops or
the church. They are talking that II this
conference decides refusal to live with his
wife is unclericsl conduct, then the Iowa
conference must memorabilia the general
conference OF the church to take action on
the case Of that bishop. It is claimed that
today's proceedings will have results as
faF-reaching as Methodism.

zANGWILL IS MUCH PLEASED
He Considers Hays Recent Note n
Noble and Historic Document,
Setting Grand Precedent.

LONDON, Sept, 20.-Secretary Hays note
to the powers which signed the Berlin
treaty of 1878, on the subject Of Rouma-
MAS treatment of the Jews, has aroused
widespread interest in the Jewish commu-
ntty Of London. Israel Zangwill, the au-
thor, who is an authority among his core
ligionists and a ceaseless worker for the
improvement OF the position Of the poorer
among them, said to a representative of
the Associated Press:
Secretary Hays note regarding the Rou-
manian violation OF the treaty Of Berlin
is a noble, historic document, setting a
precedent In political righteousness. 1t is
a worthy pendant to President Roosevelt's
setting The Hague International arbitra-
tion court in motion. Both tend to the
creation of a nonresident branch OF jus
tice-international ethics-the absence Of
which makes our civilization a farce. since
all evil is sanctioned II only enough people
commit II.
America cannot be seriously injured by
Jewish immigration and its action was I'M
doubtedly chivalrous. Yet, as the main
refuge and hope Of the homeless Jew, II
has a technical case for interference, even
though not represented at the Berlin con-
gress. The world is all i-nter-connected
with any action Of one power that tends
to incommode another. II is practically
an act OF aggression. More especially
should this principle be pushed to its ut
most limits when monstrous injustice Is
being perpetrated and an u~nofending pop
ulation is being done to death. II the Eu-
ropean powers do not interfere to enforce
the treaty OF Berlin do not see how they
can escape the deduction that violation OF
treaties is a casus belli only when some
commercial interest is to be exploited"

hne for their protection. The rigging and
masts caught fire and the total destruction
OF the vessel was threatened, but we sue
ceeded in mastering the names.
In August. 1860, we traversed Jones
sound and Morgan strait and took up win
ter quarters at 76.s north and SO west. The
region was rich In RENDERS and polar
wolves, Of which we brought back living
specimens.
