Result Of Secret Session of Methodists
at Los Angeles.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, May 14.-After a
secret session lasting over ten hours and
marked by periods OF great confusion. the
committee on episcopacy Of the Methodist
general conference has definitely decided, 1t
is reliably stated, to retire five Of the pres
ent bishops because of age and Ineffective
ness and to choose six and probably eight
new bishops.
The action Is said to be without precedent
in the history of the church.
There is little doubt but that the confer
ence will confirm the action of the commit
tee, as all the prominent leaders are MEM
bers Of the episcopacy committee.

ADVERSE REPORT.
District Assessor Disapproves an APP
plication for Exemption From Taxes.

plication for Exemption From Taxes
Hopewell III. Darneille, the District as
SCISSOR, has again made an adverse re-
port on the application of the Columbian
University for the exemption from taxa
ton of the property of the Institution, To-
Gated on 18th street northwest. and known
as Van Ness Park. Mr.. Darneille's re-
port does not agree with the opinion of
the corporation counsel on the question.
When the matter first came before the
Commissioners and was referred to the
assessor for report, Mr.. Darneille ex-
pressed the opinion that the property could
not properly be exempt under the law.
inasmuch as it was unimproved ground.
The Commissioners granted President
Needham of the university a hearing on
the matter, at which time Dr. Needham
stated that the ground is now used by the
athletic association of the college, ard
that the university proposes later to erect
college buildings on the ground. DIR. Need
ham argued that the occupation of the
square by the athletic association brought
the property within the meaning of the
low, relating to exemption of property used
for educa tional purposes.
The question was referred to the cor
poration counsel, who several days aCo
submitted an opinion to the effect that
sidered as a part of the school work of a
university. He expressed the opinion that
the land might be properly exempted by
the Commissioners.
Assessor Darneille does not agree with
the corporation counsel on the subject. lie
believes further that the exemption of the
ground because 1t is used by the athletic
association of the school would be estab-
fishing troublesome precedent.
1t Is understood that Commissioner West
will approve of the report of Assessor Dar-
nellie, but the action of the Commissioners
in the matter will be deferred until the re-
turn of Commissioner Mcfarland, who is
also trustee of the institution.
