SHALL ORTHODOX
METHODISTS DANCE2
Question is PrOmenintly Before
The Conference at Los
Angeles.
THE BAN MAY Be REMOVED.
Quite Likely Discipline viii be Modified
And Theater Going be
Permitted.

Los Angeles, Cal, May IA ques-
tion Of important bearing, which has
come prominently to the fore in the
Methodist general conference proceed
ings during the past 12 hours, is that
involving a change in discipline to the
extent Of entirely removing the church
ban on the pleasures Of dancing, card
playing and theater going. 1t seems not
unlikely that the conference viii vote
to remove the present rigid restriction
regarding the indulgence Of these re-
creations. The subcommittee of the
committee on state OF the church, of
which Judge H. S. Sibley is chairman,
has reported back 10 the main body its
recommendation upon this matter in
which II urges n radical change In the
church rule on the subject, making It
simply an advisory restriction instead
of a mandatory prohibition as at pres
ent. Under the prevailing rule the
member OF the church who attends a
dance or theater Is guilty OF direct
infraction of the rules Of the church
and may be punished by expulsion, but
IL the recommendation now proposed Is
adopted this penalty viii be rendered
entirely optional with the authorities,
The committee on state Of the church
has not decided definitely just what
form the recommendation Of the COM
mittee 10 the general body viii take,
but 1t seems assured that It will propose
some radical changes in the discipline
along the line outlined,
This committee IL also considering
other important changes, among which
is one involving the ratio OF repre-
sentation I'm the general conference The
plan which has been proposed and
which has met with some favor would,
II adopted, reduce the membership of

COLORADO LABOR TROUBLES.
British Government Looking After
The Welfare of Britons.

Washington, May 12,--The British
government has become involved In the
labor troubles in Colorado. That gov
ernmt mt makes ii a point 10 look after
the humblest British subject, so when II
happened that IN the troubles at Tellu-
ride Launcelot Collins, Brltlsher and
a non-union miner, was killed by strik-
ers, as it was alleged, the nearest Brit
ish consul, at Denver, started an inves-
tigation and reported the case TO the
British embassy here. Sir Mortimer
Durand, finding that one OF the alega-
lions that the man was killed for lack
OF proper protection by the authorities,
called the attention Of the state depart
ment TO the matter. The department in
turn forwarded the ambassadors note
to the governor OF Colorado, and the
latter has now explained that owing to
the existence OF martial law IN Tellu-
ride II is not possible to make the legal
investigation required TO develop a sat
isfactory answer 10 the British note.
IL is expected that further proceedings
will be taken when the labor troubles
in Colorado are at an end. and II Il
should appear that the British COM
plant Is we'll founded. an application
VIII be made 10 Congress by the state
department for suitable indemnity
for the killing Of Collins.
