A GREAT BLEACHERY
Finishing Plant to be Built
Near AsheviIIe
Output of Southern Mills May be Sent Here
Instead Of North $4,000 10 be-
Put Into Plant.
Especial to News and Observer

Asheville, ~ c.. May ga seven hun
dred and fifty thousand dollar bleaching
factory is to be built on the w. II.
Weaver Power C6mpany's land, a short
distance from Asheville John j. Hare.
N. L. Bishop, Dwight Seabury, capital
lists of Providence. r. l., are here to es-
tablish the factory They are favorably
impressed with the situation, an ideal
spot they say, for the proposed enter
prise.
1t is pOposed that the bleachery shall
be finishing factory the only one of the
kind in the South, where the output of all
cotton mills in the entire South may be
sent for finishing instead of being sent
to Boston as at present, and the fact of
this it is claimed would make Asheville
one of the foremost industrial centers.
1t is claimed that it would be a big
saving to Southern mills to send their
output here, and that it would, perhaps,
mean other railways for Asheville. Mr..
Seabury also believes that he can bring
a big silk plant here as a result of the
bleachery within the next few years.
The company will establish a regular
settlement at the plants, bringing all
labor with them. This is necessary as
only the most skilled labor would be
employed, and as the labor would be of
high order consisting of professional
engravers, etc, who command big sal
aries. A large number of handsome
residences would be erected along with
cottages. The entire plans for the pro-
posed plant etc, have been drawn, and
it is a question of a short time before
the plant will be erected.
A freight and passenger depot will at
once be erected at the w. II. Weaver
Power Company's plant to be known as
West Manchester. A postoffice to bear
the same name will be established

LAST DAY At DALLAS
Creation Of a Church lnsur-
ance Board
The Resembling of a Part of the Report of The
COMMITTEES on Missions a
Feature Tuesday.
(By the Associated Press.)

Dallas, Texas, May 26.-The four
teenth quadrennial general conference
of the Methodist Episcopal church South,
after being in session since May Z, adj
journed sine die at 1:45 o'clock today.
Delegates began leaving for their homes
yesterday. and at one point in today's
session it was difficult to secure a
quorum.
The most important matter disposed of
during today's session was the resembling
of part of the report of the Committee
on Missions, adopted last Saturday, the
tendency of which was to bring the
Northern and Southern missionary So
cieties into partnership in joint pub
fishing house at Shanghai, China. Another
unusually important matter was the
adoption of report from the Committee
on Church Extension creating a church
insurance board.
Bishop Duncan resigned the chair to
Bishop E. E. HoSs, the senior of the
new bishops, who was greeted with APP
plause.
DR.. Arson West, OF the North Alabama
Conference, entered a protest against
the action of the General Conference in
instituting the order of deaconesses as
being at war with the history of Pro-
testantism generally, and nowhere in the
Bible could justification for the creation
of the order be found One of the SEN
fences in DR.. Vests protest said:
Departure from divine order leads to
infdelity, anarchy and ruin
DR.. Butterick presented the conference
with gavel made from a beam in the
yI1a,-o
Methodism was born.
A resolution declaring that no legisla-
tion proposed by the general conference
shall take effect earlier than September
list next was adopted.
Report No. of the Financial Commit
tee making changes in the manner of
assessments was adopted. The confer
ence refused to reduce the salary of the
corresponding secretary of the Board of
Education from $4,000 to $4,000.
A board of fire managers was nomi-
mated by the church extension board as
follows: j. M. Kirkland, j. B. Kilgo, s..
NJ Hisner, w. S. Baker, P. H. Wisner, p.
McGuier, r. r. Gilbert, C. M. Phillips,
Samuel Ourbacker, P. H. Taps and T.
B. Wharton. The headquarters of the
board will be in Louisville, KY.
The board will have the management
of the insurance of all church property,
and the proposition met with some Wig
orous opposition, particularly from DR..
Arson West, who declared that it was
the organization of a church insurance
company. The ten bishops present sign
ed an appeal to the church throughout
the South to extend. aid to the Methodist
sufferers from the Goliad hurricane.
Contributions were ordered sent to P. H.
Wisner corresponding secretary of the
church uextension board, Louisville, KY.
The minutes of the session were read
and approved and formal adjournment
came after the singing of the hymn,
"And Let Our Bodies Part" and prayer
by Rev. w. Mahon. Bishop Wilson pro-
nounced the farewell benediction.

MIGHT Have Shot Roosevelt.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June IL.
Miriam L. Medley, the woman
whose peculiar conduct while de-
manding to see President Roose-
velt resulted in her being ar
rested in Washington a few days
ago, was today committed to the
state hospital for the insane at
Norristown.
The commitment was made
upon the petition of two sisters
of Mrs. Medley, who said the
latter is possessed of homicidal
tendencies. 1t was stated that
Mrs. Medley had gone to Wash
ing for the purpose of laying be-
fore the president certain mat
ters pertaining to a breach of
promise suit.
When taken into custody by
Washington police a loaded re
volver was found on Mrs. Med
ley. In addition to this it was
said that on a prior occasion the
woman had purchased revolver
and threatened to shoot a doctor.

Cuban Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, June 10.-Indi-
cations now are that a republic
an conference will be called the
latter part of the week to settle
Tie the question as to what shall
be the attitude of the senate on
Cuban reciprocity legislation.
The committee representing
the extreme views on this ques.
ton have had several meetings,
and have failed to reach an
agreement. The conference on
Saturday was not entirely an
amicable one, and it is doubtful
if they will get together again.
The committee representing
the majority of republicans is
composed of Senators Platt,
Spooner, and Cullom, members
of the committee on relations
with Cuba.
These three senators are in
favor of reporting and passing
the Spooner bill. which provides
for a reduction of 90 per cent on
Cuban tariffs for five years, with
provision giving the president
power to suspend the operation
of the law at any time when he
may discover that the benefits
of this concession are going to
the sugar trust instead of the
sugar producers.
Senators Elkins, Jones of Ne
vada. and Burrows compose the
committee representing the fac
ton opposed to all tariff reduc-
tions for Cuba. They have said
they hvve votes enough to pre-
vent a republican majority for
the bill and they will prevent its
passage.
