Des Moines, May 4. - A new and
sensational chapter in the Shercliffe

The story is an involved one, "said

BIG MEET
ING OPENS
THE METHODIST GENERAL CON
FERENCE CALLED TO ORDER
BY BISHOP MERRILL.

Los Angeles, May 4.-The thirty-first
general conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church, opened here today.
When Bishop Stephen Merrill raped
for order he faced one of the most no.
table gatherings of the churchmen in
the history of Professionalism in Ameri-
ca, there being 798 representatives of
Methodism present in the Auditorium.
The galleries were crowded by the
visitors and citizens. The great build
ing was a bower of beauty, fragrant
with the bloom of California flowers.
The morning session, which opened
with prayer, was given up to the as
signment of seats. It was impossible
to transact any business owing to the
confusion. Adjournment was taken un-
til evening when the formal welcoming
addresses and responses will be deliv-
ered
Fourteen standing committees met
during the day and their sessions were
almost as interesting as the conven-
tion itself.

5000 co HUNGRY
METHoDIsTs DELAYED BY 4
WRECK HELP REPAIR THE
TRACK ON SUNDAY.

Los Angeles, Cal, May 4.-Three
thousand Methodists We're stranded In
the Grand Canyon of the Colorado
without food and water from p. m.
sunday until late Monday. More than
Soo were forced to remain until the
next morning. Their trains We're de-
layed by a wreck.
DR.. s. w. Thomas, editor of the Phil
adelphia Methodist, arrived from the
canyon today. He said:
fortunately l was not in the wreck.
About 2:3O o'clock Sunday afternoon
seven sections of the delegate specials
landed in the canyon. Every car was
dangerously loaded when the train be-
gan the ascent from Williams Junction.
The strain was too severe Several of
the engines went dead, and the roadbed
gave way, causing a general wreck.
Hotel is Swamped.
Away from feed and water, without
necessary provisions for them, the con-
ference delegation, 5000 strong, poured
down upon the canon hotel The man
ager had expected about 500. He made
provision for 1000 and the consequence
was everyone suffered both for food and
drink. Such a calamity Is unprece-
dented, believe, in the history Of con-
ferences.
"All Sunday afternoon trainmen
motel hands, ranchers and Methodists
helped to construct a new railroad. L
was literally a Methodist rail. On its
completion depended the lives of the
5000.
Sunday night the work was continu-
ed. Monday morning found every able
bodied man at the pick and shovel, and
so it continued until nearly sundown
Monday afternoon. The new rail was
built around the wreck, and the first
load of worn-out Methodists pulled out
for Los Angeles about o'clock, satis-
fled to leave the air diet to others in
the future"
Presiding Elder j. w. Lambert, of
this city, may have been in the party
delayed by the wreck. j. w. Neasham,
who is also a delegate to the Los Ange-
les convention, left in time to have
passed the point where the wreck oc-
Cured.

SHAW OR CANNON, wHIcH2
Talk of Vice Presidential Boom Con.
tinues to Be Heard in WASHINGTON.


Washington, D. c., May 4.-There is
disposition to take the view that
secretary Shaw Is trying to unload the
although Shaw denies such motive or
that he had anything to do with the
Cannon button. Fairbanks Is abso-
lutely out of the race and the feeling
tonight is that either Shaw or Cannon
must accept. The opinion is about
equally divided as to Cannon's final de-
cision.
Congressman Hull said yesterday
Cannon declared he would not take
the nomination if it were unanimous
and urged him to help stem the tide
of popular enthusiasm.
Cannon Decidedly Objects.
Even at the risk of being accused
of declining that which I could not get
If desired it, answer most unequivo-
cally that if the nomination We're ten
dered to me I would not accept it un-
der any circumstances whatever"
Thus strongly did Speaker Cannon in
an authorized interview with the Post
yesterday emphasize his determination
with reference to the vice presidency
AS he concluded debating what he had
to say the speaker added: IF there is
word in the language which can be
| more decisive, write it in"
In response to an inquiry as to his
reasons for such a statement, Cannon
said that he had been nominated by the
republicans of his district and accepted
and has every hope Of being reelected.
If the republicans have a majority in
the next house he will be a candidate
for reelection as speaker.

No Attack on New chwanq.

New York, May 4-The special tele-

Che-Foo, asserting that the Japanese
had tuken New Chwang, is obviously
false. New Chwang, which is on the
river about thirty miles from sea, could
not possibly be taken except as the
result of an attack of at least two or
three days duration. The Associated
Press has American correspondents at
Che-Foo, Shan-Hai-Kwan, New Chwang
and YinKow, any one of whom would
certainly have reported the attack up
on New Chwang.

HIS CHECKS PROTESTED.
New Britain's Missing r1anager Mes
 Yet Heard From.

New Britain, Aug 1.--As F. L. Ter ", the recent local manager Of the Connecticut Railway < Lighting Go, has not yet reappeared in town to ex- plain his sudden departure of last week there are all sorts of reports aftoat concerning his affairs. It is said that these are worse than was at first supposed and that several checks and notes have gone to protest. He did his banking through u New Lon don bank. It is also said that the company Is out of pocket through his connections with it. When inquiry was made of Manager L. s. Risley he said that MT Terry's accounts had been investigated and that there was nothing out of the way with them so far as he knew.
 There was report last evening that Mr Terry had been seen in Wa terbury and another that his father, Lawyer Terry of Waterbury, who is summering in the Adirondacks, would be here to-day to straighten out lis sons accounts. When J. H. Kirk ham of the firm of Kirkham & Coop CT, who represents Landlord Pattee of the Hotel Russwin in his claim against MT Terry, was asked in re- gard to the settlement of the case he said that he hadvheard nothing from Lawyer Terry.
 F. l.. Terry kept his account in tl.e New London City National bank. An official of that institution satI last evening that number of checks, etc, drawn by Terry had been protested, as he had no money on deposit to meet them The bank had been careful, however, not to let the account be overdrawn. The official said tbat so far as he knew, the bank had heard nothing from Terry since his depart ure from New Britain. The amount Of protested checks lie did not know. but he thought 1t was small.
