The Methodist General Conference
Begins the Work of Selecting
Eight Bishops.
REPORT OF The BOOK COMMITTEE
PRESENTED TO THE CONFERENCE.
The General Principle of Unifying
the Book Concern by Consolidate
ing Its Misunderstanding Depart
ments Under One Management IL
Approved.

Los Angeles, Cal, May 19-The
crowd that besieged Hazards paw lion
| seeking admittance 10 the Methodist
loting for bishops, which had been fixed
as the special order of the day, was I'M
usually large. Every seat was filed by
nine o'clock and hundreds were turned
away, although offering all sorts Of
prices for seats.
The conference took up the call of
the annual conferences for memorials
Immediately after the regular dew
tional exercises and most of the entire
morning in hearing resolutions There
was nothing of striking importance IN
any of the resolutions, and the dele
gates seemed anxious to refer every
thing without debate in order to reach
the balloting.
Recess was taken at 10:45 ard upon
reassembling Bishop Hamilton. who
presided, asked the delegates to devote
ten minutes to prayer, seeking divina
guidance in the important duty before
them. Tellers were then appointed
and the first ballot for bishops was
cast. The result is not yet known, as
it will require considerable time for
the tellers to tally up the votes for the
many candidates.
1t was the opinion of many delegates
that the work of selecting the eight
bishops will require several days, pos
siby a week
The report of the book committee, |
presented to the conference, is as fol-
lows:
Resolved, first, we approve the |
general principle of unifying the book |
concern by consolidating its manu-
featuring departments and placing
them under one management.
Second, we recommend that the
bishops be requested to appoint COM
mittee of one from each general con-
ference district and one or two at
arge, so as to provide an uneven num-
Der in the convention, and not includ-
ng therein members of the book COM
nittee, but at least half the persons
20 appointed shall be laymen, to which

Third, that after having duly con-
idered the recommendation of said s
eport, the committee, if it shall adopt
plan, shall proceed to outline and
etermine the same for consolidating
he manufacturing departments of the
ool concern and for their future adj ]
under one official man.
cement.
Fourth, that upon the completion
said general plan, the book COM C
littee shall at once proceed to carry v
le same into effect, and shall pre- I

With the murder OF John Cutler. colorcI.
aged twenty-five years.
The man was shot about o'clock THIS

! parents. The lad rushed upstairs where
his sister was sitting and told her that
the negro had been shot 1t was reported
that he held pistol in his hand when.
lie made the report but this Is denied.
Tho pistol was found in tho yard still
smoking. Near by lay the negro. the
entire back portion OF his head having
been blown OF. He lived for only
minute or two after the shooting.
Bew declares that he thought the negro
Burnett did the shooting. and despite
tho protest OF the little darkey that ne
was on the street playing marbles a! the
time he heard the report OF the pistol,
he was placed under arrest.
> A MYSTERY.
It is hard TO find n motive for the
crime. The murdered man was a hanger
on around the Bcw premises, and the
suppositlon is that some one desiring to
Brighten him or worse, fired tho fatal
shot.
Whether It was an accident or murder
remains to be determined. One coroner's
Jury was summoned, and at $3.50 o'clock
reported It's inability to agree. 1t was
stated that eleven OF the Jury stood for
