DALLAS, TEX, May 1s-The parlia-
mentary tangle over the war claim, which
has enveloped the Conference or the
Methodist Episcopal Church South since
the opening day, was only deepened pS
to-day's session Bishop Morrison, OF
kentucky, presided.
In the course of thirty n,inutes there
were twenty-five points of order made
and there were four appeals during the
day from the decision of the chair. One
question at issue to-day, the continuity
of the service Of the members of the
strom Of talk on tactics.
The Virginia delegation offered reso-
luton on the war claim matter to-day
that caused considerable stir. In the
preamble thereto it is stated that 1t was
the understanding of the United States
Senators who voted for the approprla-
tions that the entire amount was to be
devoted to the care of su2crannuated
preachers and widows and orphans, AID
that no claim agent was 20 receive ore

MISREPRESENTATI
The resolution proposes that as the
money was obtained by misrepresenta-
ton Of facts through the misuse OF tele-
grams and correspondence. the intention
of the Senator's should be carried out. and
the entire S2SS, Goo be set aside for the
support of superannuated preachers,
widows and orphans.
1t is stated in an official quarter that
pending the passage of this bill in Con-
sress, one of the Senator's suggested to
Judge Stahlman the employment OF GER

1AYNOR AND GREENE ARE
UNDER GUARD IN MONTREAL
They Were Turned Over to Extradltlon Judge Wh'
Remanded Until Monday for Trla-Habeas
Corpus Was Overlooked.

Gaynor and Greene had engaged the serv-
ices of all the best lawyers in Quebec,
and the change of venue leaves these
gentlemen out in the cold.
1t was stated this afternoon that the
Provincial Governor had instructed
Judge La Fontaine to obey the writ of
habeas corpus, but the judge says that
all he knows about the case is thai he
issued a warrant and that the men called
for in that document were produced be-
fore him. He had remanded the prisoners
until Monday morning. and expected that
they would then again be produced be-
fore him.
Legal opinion in Montreal is that ha-
beas corpus proceedings cannot be IN
stituted until Judge La Fontaine has de-
cided the case. Then, if he commits them
for extradition, proceedings of that lil-
ture will be i'll order.
Will be Returned Savannah.
(By Associated Press.)
CHICAGO. ILL, May 16-@I am glad
that the officers succeeded in landing
Gaynor and Greene at Montreal" said
Chief Wilkie, OF the United States Sc
cret service, to-day. Now. that the
contractors are in custody in Montreal,
I feel confident that the extradition pro-
ceedings will result in their removal to
Savannah for trial in the conspiracy case.
1t will first be necessary to present
transcript of all the evidence before a
commissioner. SO TO estab blish a prima
facie case for the United States. If Cay
nor and Greene are then held for ex-
tradition, they probably VIII appeal to the
highest court in Canada and thus stand
off the government for about six months.
But have little doubt they will be re-
turned to the United States some day
! and will then have to stand trial"

commencing with Monday matinee,
Nov. 3. Aside from the plot, which is
strong, and which deals with not only
true, but heartfelt incidents, the main
feature of this great play is the scenic
effects produced. The most note
worthy scene is a correct reproduction
Of the famous Palisades on the Hud-

of the most realistic snow storm eff
fects ever produced. This scene alone
brings forth rounds OF applause. 9th
