ITS SESSIONS AT LOS AN
GELES TOMORROW.
For TIE First Time in History of Or
canization Women Will Be
Delegates.

Los ANGELES. Cal, May 3.-Near-
~ all of the delegates have arrived for
the general conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church. which is to begin its
quadrennial session in this city tomOr-
row The delegates number about $50
and represent the 100000 members of
world For the first time in the 120
years history of the church, women
will hold seats in the body as delegates.
This revolution is the result of action
taken at the session of the genreal con-
ference held in Chicago four years ago.
in addition to the delegates the confer
ence has attracted thousands of visitors
from all parts of the United States who
are Interested in the proceedings.
Several subjects that are to come up
for discussion and action will render
the general conference this year of far
more than ordinary Importance. Among
these are the proposed uniiicatiOn of
the publishing houses and consolida
ton of the benevolences. The subcom-
mittee appointed four years ago to
take into consideration the proposal to

CONCESSION FOR STOCKMEN.
:. NJ. & St. p. viii Give Return
Transportation.

The announcement is made that the
Chicago, Minneapolis and st. Paul has
resumed the granting of return trans
portation on all shipments of livestock
under the same conditions which were
in effect prior TO January l. 1904
Whether the other lines will now fol-
low the lead of the c., NJ. s. st. p. is
not yet certain.
Formerly it was the custom of the
railroads to grant return transportation
on shipments of two or more cars of
cattle or horses. Recently this pro-
vision was abolished and the company
would grant transportation only one
way, compelling the shipper to pay his
own way back. SO many complained
against this system that it is probable
that all the roads will return to the
former custom.

have charge of education. These pro-
posed consultations involve tremen-
dous revolution. the outcome of which
gives the church serious anxiety. Many
believe them to be supremely wise and
that they will result in greater eff
cheney and larger collections; others
fear the reverse. REIMBURSEMENT of some
kind. however, is deemed necessary
and inevitable and the present confer
ence is certain to see important
changes in this direction.
Among the other important matters
that will in all probability come before
the conference is the adoption of some
plan by which better provision can be
made for aged ministers and the wild
oWs and orphans of deceased ministers.
and a change in what is known as par
agraph 24S, relating to amusements
and prohibiting members of the church
from engaging in such amusements as
dancing. card playing. theatre-g going.
etc. The rule has long been largely
dead letter and many believe that it
should be removed from its present pO-
sition and placed under the head OF ad-
vices. A few declare themselves in ia
vor of striking it out altogether. ON
the other hand. there are many who

Discussion of these various questions
will be followed with close and inter
ested attention not only on the part of
the delegates. but on the part of the
church at large. OF still more interest
to the general public, however, will be
the election of new bishops. Two active
bishops have died since the last gem

new bishops for Southern Asia has
been recommended, and in addition

NURSING MOTHERS

A richer milk than milk"
is good food for nursing
mothers. SCOTS Emulsion is
the rich cream of cod liver
oil, and contains ten times as
much cream as milk does.
The nursing mother must
eat with the purpose of pro-
ducing good, nourishing milk
for her baby. A little SCOTS
Emulsion is often a very wise
addition to her daily diet. If
through nervousness or weak
ness her milk is a failure,
SCOTS Emulsion will help
make it success.
The baby gets the benefit,
too, when the mother takes
SCOTS Emulsion. The same
remedy brings new strength
and nOurishment to both.

WENTZ'S DEATH ACCIDENTAL
UNEXPECTED VERDICT IN CASE
 OF YOUNG MILLIONAIRE.
cOroner's Jury Declares He Met His End by the Discharge of His Own Revolver Family Not Satisfied Brother Believes There Was Fight Before the Shooting.

Bristol, Tenn, May 11.-'He came to his death by the accidental discharge
 of his own pistol" is the verdict of the eoroner's jury which for nearly two days has been Investigating the cir
 cumstances surrounding the death of
 Edward L. Wentz, the young million aire. whose body was discovered on a spur of Black mountain last Sunday.
 The sessions of the inquest were held on the spot where the body was dis covered. The verdict came as sur
 prise in every quarter as the great ma jority of the people who heard the ev-
 idence and examined conditions sur- rounding the body as it lay on the mountain, believe the cause to have been suicide. while some believe that murder was committed.
 The inquest. which was adjourned at
 dark yesterday, was resumed this morning at 9:30 o'clock. Upon the ar- rival of the coroner and his jury, fully 200 people surrounded the still roped-in space from which the body wah been removed. The first step taken was search in nearby ground hogs hole for the missing right hand of the dead man. believed to have been carried
 awey by some animal The dirt was dug away to the end of the hole and sisted through a screen in search for the missing bones and the ring worn
 on one of the fingers. This was with
 out result. The jury then filed into the roped enclosure and was seated in a line upon To gagainst which Wentz's
 head had rested. The coroner's secre- tary occupied seat on a stone, while large stumps afforded seats for the two presiding coroners.
 J. F. Bullitt of Big tone Gap, attor- ney for the Wentz interests in this sec tion. conducted the examination of witnesses for the family. In spite of the ,jury's verdict of accidental killing, lit is certain that detectives will remain in this section in connection with the
 case. D. B. Wentz expressed himself
 as of the opinion that there had been
 an encounter before his brother was
 killed.
 Philadelphia. May 11-Dr John S. Wentz, father of D. L. Wentz who was
 found dead in Virginia, gave out a
 statement to-day in which he expressed the conviction that his son was mur-
 dered The following is his statement:
 My son did not commit suicide. He
 had no reason whatever for doing such a thing. Some people would like to
 show that he did so in order to clear themselves of his murder, but their plan will not work. Edward did not have a revolver with him when he dis appeared. All the weapons he owned have been found in his home at Big Stone Gap. As for the statement that
 he had differences with me over busi- ness matters and had given up his po-
 sition, it is equally absurd. There was positively no motive whatsoever for
 him to take his life. He was happy and perfectly contented with his position,
 as far as I know. If he had decided to quit the business, he had an indepen- dent fortune which he could have lived
 on without work or worry"

SERIOUS EVENTS IMPENDING.
The Military situation in Manchuria---
 Battle Likely Soon.

The Military situation in Manchuria---
 Battle Likely Soon.
 St. Petersburg, May 12-3:35 a. m.- Impending events of great importance to the military situation in Manchuria are foreshadowed in official dispatches given out late last night by the war commission.
 On May the Japanese forces cau- tiously moved from Feng Wang Cheng towards Hai Cheng, which is thirty-two miles east by north of New Chwang, and it is the opinion of the general staff that they should certainly reach their destination within two days. If the Japanese shall occupy Hai Cheng, with Port Arthur thus effectually cut off, New Chwang, which the Russians have already dismantled, would pass into their hands.
 The entire Liao Tung peninsula, in fact, save Port Arthur and perhaps Kaiping, would be commanded by them.
 The satisfaction felt at the re-estab- Ilishment of communication with Port Arthur is increased by the knowledge that a trainload of ammunition has been safely delivered to the fortress
