Methodist Conference Will Re-
tire Five of Them.
EpfscOpacy Committee So De
cides in Secret Session.
SIX OR 8 NEW ONES
Action Is Without Precedent in
the Church.
Unlimited Pastoral Tenure Will
Not Be Disturbed.

Los Angeles, Cal, May 14.-After a
secret session lasting over ten hours,
and which was marked by periods of
great confusion, the committee on
episcopacy of the Methodist general
conference adjourned shortly after
midnight this morning, having def
nitely decided, it is reliably stated, to
retire five of the present bishops be-
cause of age and fneffectiveness, and
ITO choose six and probably eight new
bishops. The action is said to be with
out precedent in the history of the
church. There is little doubt that
the conference will confirm the action
of the committee as all the prominent
leaders are members of the episcopacy
committee. The committees report
will come before the general body next
Tuesday and in the meantime the
leaders of the contending elements
will marshal their forces for the final
fray.
The names of the bishops who will
be retired if the recommendation of
the committee is accepted have not
been made public. In the church at
large there is said to be a strong SEN
t3ment against the retirement of bish-
ops, but majority Of the delegates it
appears at this time desire to see
younger and more active men placed
on the episcopal board The bishops
vacancies heretofore created in the
board have been caused by death
while in active service.
The conference is asked to set the
date for the balloting on the election
OF bishops either at tOdays or Mon
days session. 1t is expected to be some
day next week, probably Wednesday.
While the report of the committee on
episcopacy on the subject of restoring
the pastoral time limit will be against
any disturbance of the present unlinli-
ted tenure, it is reasonably certain that
there will be a minority report on the
matter, embodying the views of the
various conferences that have petition
ed the general conference to restore the
limit.
Sixty-five memorials from 25 annual
conferences are in the hands of the
subcommittee of the state of the
church, bearing on the proposition
changing paragraph PAS of the church
discipline, relating to amusements.
ThiIty-hVe of these petitions ask that
no change be made in the paragraph
is stated that some of the memorials
asking that no change be made in the
dfsciplinessare signed by as many as
1000 individuals No action has yet
been taken on the matter by the COM
mittee, but 1t has been made a special
order for next Monday at which time
the committee will formulate a recon-
mendatfon to the general conference
The committee on the state of the
church has also passed a resolution
recommending that the final adjust
ment of the conference be taken on
Saturday, May %.

SHOT THROUGH THE ABDOMEN
Burren Hollis, CoIored, Victim OF
Friends CareIessness.

Burrell Hollis. a young negro, was
shot and probably fatally wounded
about 4:3O Friday afternoon, by
Archie Winchester, another negro.
The shooting, which is claimed by all
the witnesses including the victim. to
have been an accident. occurred in the
negro boarding house over the Amer
lean laundry on West Seventh street.
The bullet from a 50 caliber revolver
struck Hollis in the abdomen and
went almost through his body.
After the shooting Winchester. who
was holding the gun when it was dis
charged, ran to the Office of DR.. Storrs,
who made a hasty examination and
then sent Hollis to Christ hospital.
An operation was performed, and the
bullet removed The intestineS were
punctured in number of places and
the physicians do not believe the pa
tient Will survive.
Winchester was taken to the police
station by Officer Voiles. but no one
has filed a complaint. The victim of
the shooting stated that it was an ac-
cident.

ILLINOIS DEADLOCK
Fifteen Ballots Taken on Governor
Without a Nomination.

Springfield, ILL.,, May 14.-After sit
ting for more than twelve hours and
taking fifteen ballots in which none
of the seven aspirants gained or lost
materially, the Illinois Republican
convention adjourned late last night
without nominating a man for COVER
nor. Two attempted stampedes and
several conferences failing to break
the deadlock, the candidates for guber-
material nomination, at the suggestion
of Chairman Cannon, agreed to rest
on their arms until 10 o'clock today.
While the balloting went forward the
party leaders conferred in fruitless eff
forts to get a compromise, but all of
their efforts went for naught, and
there is nothing in the situation to
warrant the prediction of a break.
The convention was large and turbu-
lent. ArmOry hall was packed with
10, 600 persons during the session, and
at times, when scenes were most tur-
bulent. Chairman Cannon threatened
good naturally to adjourn the con-
Vention to the state capitol and ex-
clude the public.

The new shops are to consist Of
seven buildings blacksmith shop, a
stack, a lavatory building. a store and
oil house, round house, and a trans
fer table OF these buildings Mr.. Fell

shell, the company having decided to
do most of the finishing work them
selves This, however, viii be as
much as one man can handle con-
veniently and Will require all of his at
tendon if they are to be finished by
fall when the company will be ready
to use them
When the new shops at La Junta
are completed that point Will rank
fourth in Importance of all the shop
points on the line from Chicago to
San Francisco. Ordinarily the new
shops would stand second, but the
company is planning some improve
ments on their shops at AIbuoueraue
and San Bernardino for the coming
summer, and when completed the four
most important shop points will rank
as toIloWs- topeka first; Albuquerque,
second San BernardinO, third; and
La Junta, fourth.
In appearance the new shops at
Ia Junta viii resemble the shops in
Topeka. All of the buildings are to
be built of brick. and the machine
shop Will be the largest building in
the lot The following are the dimen-
sions Of each building:
Machine shop, $50 by 200 feet: black
