DANCING RULED OUT
Methodist Conference Refuses to Make
Any Concessions on the Amusement
Question - Amendment Submitted is
Voted Down.

Los Angeles, May I7.--sso far as COM
mittea work is concerned. two Of the
most important questions to come be-
fore the general Methodist conference
have been settled. The committee on
the state of the church voted against
any alteration of paragraph 24S OF the
discipline. relating to amusements. and
the committee on the itinerancy decided
that the time limit for pastors ought
not to be restored.
In the committee on the state Of the
church. the subcommittee on amuse-
ments. headed by Judge Hiram T. Sib-
ley, of Ohio, presented a report, the
chief clause of which recommended
that paragraph 24S be remodeled SO as
not to condemn specifically, dancing.
card playing, theater going, attendance
at horse races and kindred diversions.
In supporting the report Judge Sibley
declared none of his committee wished
to 'let down the bars or lower the stand
ard" on the amusement question.
1--WE have provided" h. said. for the
prosecution Of anyone committing acts
unbecoming Christian but we leave
to the good sense of the church what
are becoming or unbecorning. do not
play cards nor do dance, but 1 believe
have right to do so II l wish. One or
the most fiourishing churches in Ohio
has been supported, have been told, by
young men and women who go to the
theater, dance and play cards occasions
ally. II you refuse to change this par
agra ph, you know 1t will not be enforc-
ed it never has been enforced"
On the motion to adopt this clause
the motion was As yeas to 5s nays.
A clause of the report embodying the
bishops advice against dancing and all
harmful amusements In the discipline
was adopted, strengthening paragraph
24s. Judge Sibley vii present minor-
ity report to the conference and another
battle there Is expected.
The committee on itinerancy's vote
on the proposition to restore a time
limit of three years for pastors instead
of making appointments yearly was IS
to so in favor of no change. The gen.
eral grounds for the rejection were that
the year-by-year system has not yet
had a fair trial, having been instituted
in 1900, and that it's tendency to keep
pastors in one place continuously was a
good thing.
Official announcement was made that
Bishops Andrews. Walden, Foss, NAL
lalieu and Vincent had been voted sup
erannuates by the ballot taken Satur-
day.

hand in this game"
1t takes considerable to surprise
professional gambler but old man Hop
iins did say under his breath, We'll.
I'll be damned" And all four of the
men looked at each other in blank
amazement.
At length Foster said: Il don't know
why his money isn't as good as any
body's. Only, you know there won't be
any kitty in the game for you this
time
Il know" said Simpson, and as no
one made objection, he got his chips
and the game went on.
At first ii seemed that he was going
to win/for pot after pot fell TO him. hut
they were all playing cautiously and no
pot was very large. He had pulled up
to more than twenty dollars though
when the luck turned till three pots in
succession took his money until he had
only a blue chip left.
why don't you cash in" said Fos-
ter not unkindly. You can get food
and medicine for that kid of yours
even with a dollar"
But Simpson only drew his breath d
little harder and scanned his cards
eagerly.
What he saw in his hand made his
eyes CLEAN, and when it came his say
there being three red chips in the pot
he made il a dollar to play Old man
Hopkins stayed and took one card.
That one made king full and SimD-
sons flush was beaten.
He sat for a moment as if stunned
when he saw that he had lost his all,
but quickly recovering himself he rose
and left the room without a word.
We'll, now. I'd like to know" said
young. Carter, whether you call thar
man dead game sport or a damned
fool
Il reckon their amt any question but
what he's both" said Foster and thev
all agreed.
Nevertheless they all Clipped in as
