COLOR LINE
COMES UP TO TROUBLE
THE METHODIST
GENERAL CONFERENCE
Public Schools and the
Catholic Church.

Los Angeles, Cal, May 1O.-The
color line problem and the public
school question occupied the Metho-
dist conference today. DR.. Edward w.
S. Hammond, of Tennessee, the negro
educator offered the following resolu-
ton which was referred to the COM
mittee on state of the church:
Whereas, certain hotels and res
taurants in this city have refused to
serve meals to colored delegates, there
by subjecting tnem to very great in
convenience, 10 say nothing of the hu-
initiation and shame incident to such
discrimination and,
Whereas, such conduct is not in
harmony with the well known spirit,
sentiment and genius OF the Methodist
Episcopal church, be it resolved, that
the general conference not only dis
approves of the Teprehensible treat
ment Of its membership and heartily
and unQualifedly condemns it as up-
wise, unjust and unchristian."
Another resolution on public schools
and the Roman Catholic church was
also referred to the committee on state
of the church. This resolution was
as follows:
Whereas, we recognize in the pub
lie school system one Of the chief bull
warlIs Of the republic and as neces-
sary and efficient as the ground work
for educational work as the church,
and
Whereas, there is in our country an
avowed and relentless foe to our pub
lie school system in the claims and
purposes OF the Roman Catholic church
by which she demands division OF the
public school fund for the support Of
her parochial schools, declaring by
high authority that the only solution
of the school question is the denomina-
tional school supported by the state,
therefore. be 1t
Resolved, first, that we declare our
unchanging loyalty TO the public
school system.
Resolved second. that the General
conference petition the next congress
Of the United States to enact an
amendment to the constitution forever
prohibiting any division OF the public
school fund for sectarian purposes
Resolved, third. that the general
assemblies of other Protestant bodies
Of this country be invited to unite in
this petition"

JAP PANESE LOAN
Is to Secure Gold Our
rency System.

Toxic, May 11.-London Times)-
The sole object of the new Japanese
foreign loan is to secure the gold cur
roncy system and maintain the con-
variability Of the national notes. The
government, relieved of all anxiety
on that account, will now be able to
devote its undivided attention to the
financing of the war.
No part Of the proceeds of this lat
est loan is to be used for military ex-
penditures but the whole is to be
kept as currency reserve, probably
in London. The war is being financed
out of the domestic resources of the
nation and SO the somewhat onerous
terms of the foreign loan must not be
too closely scrutinized especially as
it is temporary measure.

ness" and knew very little about
money matters but was adamant in de-
clining to part with any of her pos
sessions for the benefit Of creditors of
the defunct firm, stating that she knew
of no reason why a wife should give
up any presents given her by her hus-
band.
Dr. Woodend followed his wife on
the witness stand. He stated that he
had been in the brokerage business
for two years but that he had person.
ally conducted none of the firms busl-
ness on the floor of the Consolidated
Exchange. Asked by Attorney Gruber
if he knew of the well on the floor
Of the exchange" into which he had
dropped his bucket" DR.. Woodend
waxed highly indignant and declared
that he had never "bucketed" an or
der in his life and that the charge that
he mad, had been refutcd by the direc-
tors of the Consolidated Exchange.
DR.. Woodend excused many transac-
tions referred to by General Gruber in
which stock had been ordered but
never purchased, although the custom
er was charged interest, on the ground
that it was a well understood Wall
street custom" He declared that
while the Hadden-Rodee company had
recently paid a dividend, he did not
know what became of the check due
his wife on her stock. Asked if it was
not a fact that she never received any
of the dividends paid on her stock,
the doctor said: "Oh, she did some
times"
DR.. WoOdend was questioned relative
to a number of payments made to Mr..
Bradbury of the Hadden-Rodee COM
pany but his memory was poor" and
he could not explain, so an adjourn
ment was taken until May 13 when he
will be recalled

HORSE TRADE
Resulted in Suit and VIC
tory for Sheriff.

A horse transaction not unlike the
one of David Harum's, but made on
the part of the seller because the
horse had too much strenuousity for
him, was aired in the court of Justice
of Peace Bowman yesterday after
noon. The plaintiff, Christian Miller,
who sued Sheriff Frank Mckinney for
5000, claimed the horse he had bought
from the defendant was a balky one.
Shortly after the purchase he started
to drive him home. The animal re-
monstrated when he got to New Ber-
lin. Miller took him back to Can
ton, replaced his acquisition in the
stable from which he had got IL, went
to the county official and wanted his
money back. Don't like to say no
about it, the sheriff said, "as when
the transaction was completed you
had my statement that the beast was
physically sound; but SHE'D some
times. The only reason sold him to
you was that he was too horsy for
me-"
The jury heard all this yesterday;
and the plea from Miller that the
horse was a baker also. They gave
verdict for the defendant C. G.
Bow defended the sheriff.

SATURDAY
AFTERNOON a LEGAL HOLl.
DAY IN OHIO
MAY NOT Be OBSERVED
The Old Law Was De-
Clared Unconstitutional

Auditor M. w. Oberlin received a
brief note from Auditor of State w. d.
Guilbert yesterday stating that the last
legislature had passed o law making
Saturday of each week half holiday.
That is, from IL o'clock noon till IL
midnight. Guilbert's letter is as fol-
lows:
Columbus, May Z, 1904.
To county officials.
Gentlemen: House bill No. 351
which is now law, repeals section
of the act of April q, 1896 (ohio
laws p. 2OS) which in effect makes ev-
cry Saturday legal holiday from IL
o'clock noon till IL midnight.
Beginning May T. 1904, the Office OF
the department of auditor of state will
close at IL o'clock noon every Satur-
day.
Very truly yours,
w. d. GUILBERT.
Section 2 which is mentioned in the
letter as having been repealed, was
practically the same law except that
It applied to cities having a popula-
ton of 10000 or more. Because OF
-..Is provision it became class legisla-
tion and was declared unconstitutional
by the supreme court. In order to
avoid this, the old section was repeal
ed and practically re-enacted except
that it was made of general application
all over the state. The law really
makes 1t imperative for all counLy and
state offices to close at noon on the
house in Canton the officials have not
decided what they will do.
The making of Saturday a legal hol-
iday from noon on will have its effect
upon commercial paper and all legal
notices. No note can fall due upon
that day unless by consent, and any
one desiring to do so can take the de-
lay of the day, such as is done on 9TH
er legal holidays and Sundays. And
no employe can be discharged by his
employer for refusing to work on Sat-
urday afternoon without the employer
rendering himself liable to the penal
ties Of the law and consequent dam
ages. To what extent the law will be
enforced or observed cannot be fore
told, although there was some talk of
the banks taking the matter up for
consideration. Saturday afternoon and
evening are the busiest time in the
whole week in the banks as merchants
and laboroing men make the most of
their deposits at that time, and it is
claimed that the institutions could not
close down without loss and incon-
venience, compelling merchants to car
ry their heavy Saturday receipts over
Sunday.

A FRENCH MILITARY
WRITER REVIEWS
SITUATION
And Can Find No Rea-
sonable Excuse
FOR RUSSIAN RETREAT

Paris, May 11.-Uondon Times)-
Lieutenant Colonel Rousset, one of the
most authoritative of French writer's,
whose works on Frederick the Great
and Napoleon are obligatory text
books in the Nicholas military acad-
emy in Russia, has written a review
OF the conditions in Manchuria which
is bound to attract much attention.
According to Colonel ROusset, the
only acceptable excuse for the failure
of the Russians to oppose the landing
of the second Japanese army opposite
the Elliott isuands is the lack of suffi-
cient. troops, and he asks. If that is
possible after all of the sanguine dis
patches from the Russian general
staff respecting the numbers of men
conveyed to the front via. the Trans
Siberian railway. The Russians, he
says, were not taken by surprise and
10000 men with guns would have rem
dered extremely pehlous, If indeed
not absolutely impossible, any such
landing. He declares that the Rus.
sian failure to prevent this landing
can hardly be excused on tactical con.
siderations.

FREE-FOR-AL-L
Fight in Alabama Re-
publican Convention

Birmingham, Ala, May 10.-The Re
puolican state convention which began
here today was the scene of free-for-
all fight in which Wallace Edledge was
badly beaten by w. o. Dudley. But
for the prompt interference of the SER
geant-at-arms and his assistants,
murder might have resulted. Edledge
was taken to the hospital where his in
juries were pronounced serious but not
necessarily fatal. Dudley has been ar
rested.
w. f. Aldrich, who was apparently
in control, during the early proceed
ings in the convention hall, was finally
beaten just before the convention ad-
journed at midnight. J. o. Thomp-
son was elected permanent chairman.
1t is expected that compromise will
he arrived at before the convention re-
assemblies tomorrow whereby the cleo
ton of delegates at large will be har-
monious.

FALSE ALARM
Caused Panic in Hobok-
en- Theatre.

Hoboken, N. j., May 10.-A false
alarm of fire caused panic tonight
in the Lyric theatre on Hudson
street this city. One thousand men
and women made a rush for the ex-
its and women and children were
knocked down in the rush. The
scare took place during dark scene
in the third act of the Queen of the
White Slaves" and was caused by a
man in the parquet striking a match
to light a cigarette.
Stage Manager Fred Frazer turned
on the lights in a hurry and the
members of the company tried to re-
assure the frightened audience. The
theatre was half emptied before the
scare was ended but fortunately no
one was seriously hurt.

PARKER FORCES
APPEAR TO HAVE WON A
NOTABLE VICTORY
IN INDIANA CONVENTION
The Unit Rule Likely to
be Enforced

Indianapolis, Ind, May 1O.-The
Parker forces led by Thomas Taggart,
late tonight appear already to have
won a notable victory in connection
with the Democratic state convention
tomorrow. There will be some sharp
conflicts but the Parker forces are
even now in the saddle. If signs count
for anything, Indiana will not only
enforce the unit rule, but will instruct
in very forcible language for Judge
Parker.
As the convention draws near IT
seems likely that the Parkerites will
be able to muster about 1000 of the
1,547 delegates to the convention
while bare majority would be sufi1.
cient to carry through instructions
and the unit rule. The growth of sen.
timent in favor of instructions has
been remarkable within the last
twenty-four hours. Prominent Dem
ocrats who were strong against in
structions q few days ago now say
that since Hearst mas seen nt TO IN
struct and apply the unit rule in Iowa
where he controlled only six of the
eleven congressional districts and in
other states, there is no reason why
Indiana should not bind it's delegates
to Judge Parker.
The most telling argument used in
bringing into line anti-Hearst Demo-
Gratis who are predisposed again in
structions is, that if the convention
does not instruct, Hearst through his
newspapers will herald such non-ac.
ton as a Hearst triumph and thus put
Indiana in the attitude of states fav-
orably inclined toward Hearst Dem.
ocrats are lining up rapidly in favor
of the policy of committing the con-
vention to Parker.

DICK DOWNED
By Foraker Forces in the
18th District.
Special to Morning News.

Special to Morning News.
Warren, o., May 10.-W. A. Thorn
as, of Niles, was tonight nominated
for congressman from this district, to
succeed Dick, lately elevated to the
senatorship.
Sixteen ballots were taken in the
afternoon without result, when the
convention adjourned until evening.
The second ballot after supper gave
William Aubrey Thomas the neces'
sary 1873 votes to insure his nomina-
tion. This result was effected by the
Portage county delegates who seeded
from Crafts and threw the solid vote
OF the county to Thomas.
The success of the Niles man is a
distinct victory for the Foraker fac
tion and defeat for Senator Dick
who personally directed the campaign.

HAPPY REUNION
Of Husband and Wife.
Pathetic Incident.

Mrs John Kastelberg, of Switzer-
land, arrived in Canton Sunday night
expecting to meet her husband at the
station. He was not there, but as she
had the address of the home that he
had fitted up for her on Gay street,
through the kindness of some persons
TO whom she appealed she was en-
abled to get to the house without
trouble. However when she arrived
there, weary and homesick after long
journey from her native land, the
house was locked and no husband was
in sight.
Mrs. Kastelberg had sent a tele-
gram from New York before she left
for the west, but it was delayed and
her husband did not receive it until
Monday. Sunday evening he was visit
ing with friends and when he went
home, his wife was sitting upon the
front doorstep awaiting his coming.
WEAKNESS and disappointment were
forgotten when the woma n beheld her
husband whom she had not seen for
over two years. There were explana-
tons and some tears. and then the re-
united couple went into the home
which had been comfortably fixed up
anent the wife's coming.
