BISHOPS ABIDING
PLACES ARE FIXED
Methodist Conference.-The Dis.
poses of EpWorth League
and Book Concern.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, May 25.-The
Methodist general conference wtoday
assigned the sixteen bishops of the
church to their respective residences
for the next quadrennium, adopted re-
ports of the Epworth league commit
tee and the committee on book con-
Germ, ballotted for editor of the Ep-
worth Herald and held memorial serv-
ices in honor of leading clergymen who
have died within the past four years.
The day was noted for the filibuster-
ing of those who were opposed to the
report of the committee on recommen-
dation of church benevolences and 9TH
ers who wished to discuss the action
of the episcopacy committee in making
the assignments of bishops. These OPP
ponents were defeated and both re-
ports were adopted. The bishops are
thus placed:
New York, Bishop Fowler; Boston,
Bishop GOodsell; Philadelphia, Bishop
McCabe; Washington. Bishop Cranston;
Cincinnati, Bishop Spellmeyer; Buffalo,
Bishop Berry; Chicago, Bishop Mcdowell;
St. Louis, Bishop Fitzgerald; Denver,
Bishop Warren; Chattanooga, Bishop Will
son; Minneapolis, Bishop Joyce; Portland
Bishop Moore; San Francisco, Bishop
Hamilton; Shanghai, Bishop Bashford;
Zurich (Switzerland), Bishop Burt;
Buenos Ayres, Bishop Nicely.
Bishop Fowler, who presided, had a
strenuous day. He was firm, however,
and in many instances, ignored parlia-
mentary technicalities entirely. There
We're appeals from his decisions, but
the majority always sustained his ruI-
ings. His good natured repartee with

happy frame of mind and convulsed
the galleries.
The report of the Epworth league
committee made some changes in the
government of the society. 1t pro
vides:
The officers of the league shall be a
president, vice president, general secre-
tary and treasurer. The president shall
be chosen as heretofore provided. The
vice president shall be chosen by the

members. The secretary must be elected
by the general assembly quadriennially
He shall be the executive officer of the
league and shall be ex-officio member Of

SHERIFF is -
A FUGITIVE

Sheriff George E. Benner of Great
Falls, Mont, is now a fugitive from
justice. Two warrants have been
issued in Butte since the release of
the sheriff, who has disappeared, the
last heard from him being at Silver
Bow Junction near Butte.
Benner succeeded in squaring mat
tiers on one check for $50 and another
for $3.50 at Bite and was released
from Jail. Immediately there were
two other checks turned over to the
county attorney and warrants asked
for. One check was for SIS and the
other for $25.
The Spokane victims of the Mon
tana sheriff still have their bogus
checks and the warrants, but so far
have been unable to secure a service
on the missing man.
Benner is supposed to have con-
cealed his identity and left for some
place where he is not known.

Dumb, IMBECILE, Bent
AND White HAIRED
Horrible Condition Of Three Famous Nihilists Just
Released From Twenty Years Solitary Confinement
Will Now Be Banished to Arctic Circle.

Colonel Aschenbrener, inspired by
Vera Figner. had plotted a revolution
to which the whole of the troops were
committed.
At the very moment of fruition the
plot was betrayed by a renegade nj
hilist named Degaieff. Degaieff, high
in the council of the terrorists, had
been arrested. Put under torture, he
turned informant and became the
head man in Colonel Soudaikin's Sc
cret police.
Then the nihilists seized him, tried
him and sentenced him to death. The
price of his life was the assassination
paid it.
In the meantime, Aschenbrener,
Vera Figner, lvanoff and II others
had been betrayed Vera and six
officers were sentenced to death, and
until recently it was believed that
penalty had been carried out
The government, however, followed
the precedent of 1872, when Necha-
vef, the Father of Russian Terror
ism," was also sentenced to death or
Siberia, but was confined instead in
the ''ravelin of Alexis''-the most Sc
cret part of the fortress of Peter
Paul-in the hope that nihilist Sc
crets might be wrested from him.
Vera Figner is now bent, white
haired old woman: Ivanoff is little
, better than an imbecile and Colonel
Aschenbrener is dumb.
