General Conference in Los
Angeles Said to Favor
Liberal Policy

Los Angeles. CAL. May is.-With the
exception OF the beginning of a crusade
for more liberal attitude on the amusc-
ment question. business moved very slowly
in the Methodist General Conference yes-
torday. The events of the days session
were DUN and uninterestlng to the crowds
that filled the galleries. and at times failed
even to ho,d the attention Of the de,egates.
The entire morning hours were taken up
IN a discussion or the report OF the COM
mlttoe on Rules or order. which occupied
part OF yesterdays session.
Liberaity Toward Amusemeuts.
A question Of Importance which has
come prominently to the fore Ia the con-
fereic during the past twelve hours is
that involving a change IN discipline 20
the extent OF entirely removing the Church
ban on dancing. card playing and ehoatre
going. 1t seems not unlikely chat the con-
ference will vote to remove the present
rigid restriction regarding the indulgence
OF those recroamons. The subcommittee
of the Committee on stafe OF the Church,
Of which Judge li. s. slbley Is chairman.
has repbrtod back to the main body a
recommendation IN which Il urges radi-
cal csange In the church rule on the sub
iect, making it simply an advisory re-
striction instead of a mandatory prohibit
ton, as az prescst.
Under the prevailing rule the member OF
the Church who attends a dance or the.
atfe is guilty Of direct infracton of IN,
ru'os Of the church and may be punished
by expulsion; but II the recommendation
now proposed is adopted this penalty viii
be rendered entirely optional with tine au
thortles. The Committee on State Of th'
church has not decided definitely jus
what form the recommendation OF tn
committee TO the genetv body will take
but it seems assured that it will propos
some radical changes IN the disciplin
along the Lines indicated.
