K DENVER, COL, July 7.--Probably the
last special reached Denver to-day very
much belated and with weary set of
young people. About 1000 are already
registered here at headquarters, and the
attendance OF delegates will easily reach
R.Oe. Texas leads all SouthernSs Stat tes,
having about 400 in her delegation, and is
only led by one other State in number OF
delegates present. This State Isl Iowa,
which is making a great fight for the
next conference two years hence, but
the decision OF this question will probably
be left In the hands OF the Executive
s Committee. SO far as the opinion OF the
delegates present can be had. they prefer
to have the next convention in the East.
Washington, d. C., would be popular.
The Southern Methodist delegates and
visitors had rally this afternoon ;
+. NJ. at st. Pauls Church, the only
Southern Methodist Church in Denver.
The house was crowded, and there was
most cordial handshaking and greeting.
The familiar accents made one feel that
he was In his own native Southland again.
Dr. II. NJ Dubose presided. Speeches
were made by Bishops Hendrix and Cal
loway and special song. written for the
occasion, was sung to the tune Of My
Old Kentucky Home"

gin until p. NJ. the house was full.

made a most effective and popular speech
at the Coliseum this afternoon on the
"Unchurched Masses Dr.. McMurray is
quite often spoken of as one of the
bishops, and has qualities that suit him
for that office.
.The very fumes Of burning tobacco
are an incentive 10 immoral and perni-
cious conduct said Robert L. Reamy,
OF Baltimore, in his address at Central
Presbyterian Church to-day. "a smoke

OF real and worthy pride that the South

group OF speakers.
So far, in spite OF the many attrac-
tive trips offered In and about Denver,
the delegates are attending well the con-
venton and sticking to bus ness. s-me
OF our leagucrs are having a new expe-
rIence by falling into the hands OF
"bunco steerers." These fellows are
plying their business and reap'ng a rich
reward. notorious man named Lou

put on League buttons and white satin
streamers marked Reception Commits

gates.
e The mayor and chief of police have
been Informed of the matter and are
trying to break 1t up. but so far have
not succeeded in 50 doing. w. B. B.
