FROM DRIVER
TO ACCOUNTANT

Frank L. White, one of the police de-
partment drivers, resigned yesterday to
take a position as clerk in the office of
City Controller jackson. He has been a
member of the police department for about
year and half During that time he
has acted as sergeant, jailor and proved
himself sort of handy man generally.
Clerical work will not be new to him,
as he has had considerable experience as
an accountant, and at one time was em-
ployed in the city clerks office.
The last drive Mr.. White made was in
taking Sheriff Denholm to the Fannie
Paddock hospital yesterday in the police
ambulance. and he made run that broke
all previous records in the police depart
ment. The big team seemed to understand
the urgency of the case, and at word
from Driver White they started up the
hill to street on the jump and main
tanned steady gallop until the hospital
was reached, distance of about seventeen
blocks. 1t took a skillfu hand to guide
the running team through the crowded
streets and around corners. but Mr.. White
proved himself equal to the occasion.

METHODIST AND The RACE PROBLEM

rests, both among the white and colored
members.
That the colored delegation to the CON
ference will ask for a colored bishop as its
common right is generally believed, but the
outcome is matter only of conjecture.
The relation of the 1904 conference to
the problem in the South and the extent
to which it will go toward placing the
white and colored Methodist on the same
footing has been mooted question in the
Methodist church for months.
The church and the government of the
country have given the black man equal
rights to serve VIII they give him equal
rights to rule?
II. the conference elects colored bishop
in May, it will have made a precedent and
answered the question for the church.
-Four years ago the eolored man knocked
at the door Of Methodsm asking for this
double right and his cause was defeated
A year ago colored delegates to the
Presbyterian General Assembly meeting in
Los Angeles made the same plea to the
Presbyterianism, and they were put off
until some more convenient time.
The election of a bishop in the May CON
ference would be looked upon as step
toward social equality. not only for the
colored people Of Methodsm, but for the
entire colored race
Balloting for the election to the epsco.
pacy is scheduled to commence Monday.
May 10. To this election the colored dele.
cation is coming with determination to
use every power of persuasion, reason, ap-
peal and political device.

Claflin university, the largest of the forty
colored institutions in the state, and dele

WHITWORTH COLLEGE TRUSTEES
DEPOSE POPULAR INSTRUCTORS

A few days ago the trustees of Whit
worth college held a meeting in Tacoma
at which several things transpired that
have stirred up considerable excitement.
Statements were made that the religious
influences of the college were no better
than at secular institutions; that the
students were permitted to dance and
some of them played cards. Some of
the trustees were Mortified at the lawful
condition" Without giving any of the
Tacoma members of the board a chance
to make any explanation, the majority
voted to demand the designations of Pres
ident Gault. Professor Fox Professor Holt
and Miss Cooley, of the piano department,

in this city some weeks ago, joined the
Norwegian-Danish church and soon gained
the confidence of his fellow members. He
used this friendship for the purpose OF
borrowing, which practice he continued
until he ended his career as a church mem
Der by stealing mandolin from brother
named Nelson. The police arrested him on
the charge of petty larceny, and all the
time Haase was in prison the immigra-
ton authorities were working on his case.
Yesterday, Inspector Fulton received word
to escort the criminal to the boundary
lines and send him back to Canada, whence
he came.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1904-04-30

of the East, the sentiment prevailing aug
ers little hope to the colored representa-
ton.
Northern Methodists cannot get away
from the fear that no-color line policy
would result in the segregation Of the
great Methodist church into Northern and
Southern branches, They believe that the
rights Of the colored man should be sacri-
feed to the harmony Of the white man.
The three most prominent colored men
who are mentioned as candidates for the
episcopaey are Dr. NJ. c. b, Mason of Gin
cinnati Rev. J. w f. Bowen, professor
Cannon Theological university, Atlanta
Ga, and Rev j b. Scott, editor Of the
Southwestern Christian Advocate, New
Orleans

The sailors were given free Transports
