The Conference Called to order.

DALLAS, Tex. May S-The quadrien-
NAL conference of the Methodist church,
south, today was called to order by Rev.
Coke Smith. of the Virginia conference.
A large audience was in attendance and
approximately every delegate who is en-
titled to a place in the conference was
present. Rev. Hope CRANKY presided at
today's session.
Bishop Wilson, Bishop Bracken and Rev.
Adams, of the South Georgia conference.
presented the conference with a gavel
made from the wood of the Wesley Oak, Z"
which stood four miles from Savannah
and under which Wesley is said to have
preached.
In the early proceedings the question
was raised whether the letter from Sena-
tors Bacon and Clay touching the publish
ing house war tax claim was a part OF
the Episcopal address.
Bishop Wilson stated IL was simply an
explanatory appendix. The statement was
also made that several bishops had not
agreed to its reading. Bishop Wilson was
unaware Of this when the letter was read.
The minutes were approved on this ex-
PLANTATION.
An interesting issue of the morning ses-
sion was precipitated over a resolution bJ
DR. Tigert that in the notation of general
conferences all reference to general con-
ferences of the undivided Methodist Epis-
copal church anterior to 1886 be eliminated.
After a spirited debate. engaged in by
many of the leading members. the resolu-
ton was defeated, $50 to IS. The number
of the general conferences were therefore
left unchanged, the present one constitut-
ing the fourteenth OF the churches south
and the twenty-ninth datina from lisa.

War Claim talked.

DALLAS, Tex. MAY 8-Dr. McGhee
Of the South Georgia conference, called
the general conference of the Methodist
church south to order this morning, Rev.
Hargrave presiding. ~,
Bishop Morrison, in a personal expla-
nation declared that he knew absolutely
nothing about the Bacon-Clay letter on
the Book Publishing war claims until 1t
was read Wednesday. He was not con.
suited and did not indorse the action
taken.
Statements were made In succession by
Or. Lovejoy, DR.. Grass. DR.. Alexander
and Bishop Gambler, terminating in
decision that Bishop Gamblers letter to
Senators Bacon and Clay should be read
and referred 10 the committee on publish
ing interests for the information Of the
conference.
In the midst Of some routine work,
Judge Strother, of Los Angeles, Calf, in
writing. acting for himself and others OF
the publishing committee of the confer
ence of 1898, presented paper under the
head of Personal Privilege" -
He plainly charged deception. nisrep-
resehtation and other wrong doing" in
connection with the publishing house war
claims, particularly on the part OF the
book agents in their dealings with con-
gress during the tendency of the war
claim association. The accuracy Of some
or the statements IN the report Vi lhc
book committee read yesterday was chal-
lenged.
The reading of Judge Strother's paper
precipitated an acrimonious debate.
The papers and Judge Strother's per-
sonal statements to the conference were
severely attacked by DIR. Collins Denny,
chairman of the book committee
1t was decided not to permit the papers
TO appear in the journal The preceding
suggestion to have it referred to the COM
mittee on publication interests was not al
lowed. Under a call Of subordinate con-
ferences for resolutions a large number
were presented and referred to the proper
committee without reading.
The remainder OF the days work was
purely routine, being mainly confined to
matters connected with committees of the
conference.
An important incident OF the convention
was the adoption Of the resolution after
much contention ordering the committee
on publishing interests TO employ a stem
ographer to write all the proceeding. in
Guiding the testimony given during the
committees consideration of the war
| claim matter.

SURE OF WATER
Success of the Flynn Com
pany in Securing Funds
Gives General
Satisfaction.

The success of the Jersey City water
Supply Company in securing the funds
necessary for the completion Of the new
water works has created a general feel
ing of satisfaction among those interested.
Il is the generally accepted belief that
there will now be no further trouble on
the water question.
There will be a conference at the office
of Mayor Fagan on Wednesday afternoon
at 2:30 o'clock that is expected to further
develope the situation along desired lines.
AT that conference will be the Mayor, the
Board of Finance, the Board of Street and
Water Commissioners and the representa-
tives of the water company.
Mayor Pagan. when spoken to about the
matter this morning. expressed himself as
pleased that the water company had made
such strides in the right direction, and he
hopes that now there will be no further
cause of complaint on water. He would
not say what the city would do at the
conference or anything about the attitude
of the public officials.
There is thought to be a desire on the
part of those who have the city's inter-
ests at heart to grant the extention of
time requested for the completion of the
works.

AFTER MOBILES BONDSMEA
Suit for Alleged Shortage in
Accounts of Weehawken's
Late Collector.

Counsellor Albert Lentz, representing
the township of weehawken, on Saturday
obtained from Justice Collins in the Su-
preme Court an order requiring the estate
of the late Collector Robert H. Noble, and
his bondsmen, Street and Water Commits
sioner Ferdinand Heintze, and the estate
of the late County Collector Hugh Dugan,
to enter their plea within ten days to the
suit for the 81, 900 alleged shortage in Mo-
ble's accounts instituted by the township
The time for answering the suit has
expired, and as no plea was entered Law
yer Lentz might have obtained judgment
by default, but as judgment obtained in
this manner might have been set aside
and the case re-opened, the townships le-
gal representative thought the better way
was to force the defendants to respond
and in the event of their failure to do so,
the judgment taken would be irrevocable
except error in the pleadings or improper
service could be shown.
