June, will be used and. therefore, they
will not have to ne-appear. In the
Baker case, however, several new
witnesses will probably be called. In
a1sing the typewuatten Testimony, tn-
stead of oaliing the witnesses, a great
deal of time will be saved.
COUNSEL HAVE TILTS
The Rev. A. w. Lightbowne is lead
ing the fight for the church and the
Rev. 7. A. B. Wilson for the ministers.
They had several tilts yesterday after
noon over the admission OF certain
testimony. Some of the testimony OF
the church, admitted ait the first hear
ing, is said 20 have been ruled out by
Bishop Foss. ais being imnateTial.
The church has not completed its
side of the case and will probably NOT
rest until tomorrow. Counsel for the
church is reported to have secured
some of 6he records OF the corkrar
case in Superior Court. but exactly
what use will he made o6these records
lis NOT known.
1t is reponted THAT counsel for ths
defense never received copies Of the
charges and the testimony of the orr
gilal hearing until the night before
conference convened.
The secrecy with which the commit
tee STARTED its work yesterday, was
maintained to-day. No one was allow
ed in the room except those directly
interested. All members of the Con-
ference are also shut out. andemanS
of them have expressed their opinion
to the effect that the committee has
made a mistake in refusing to give ou
any information.
The select committee went into ses'
sion at $50 o'clock this morning and
the church made considerable progress
in presenting it's case.
At II o'clock a recess OF few min
utes was taken TO give those interested
a chance to stretch their legs.
Whom the select committee took
lreoess at noon, the church had no
completed its side of the Cori1ran case
The andicafions are. however, tina
counsel for the church villa rest thi
lafternoon.
It was learned that the appealo
counsel for the accused wis not b
passed on until the defense starts it
side Of the case.
Several of the members Of the com
'mittee and also the counsel were seer
but were as reticent as ever.

Many ministers attending the NJ. e.
Conference, in Grace Church, displayed
.conside erabie, interest to-day when II
was learned that n new witness had
bean sunnmonsed to appear before the
select committee of fifteen, which IS
brS-lng the CorlQran-Baker case.
This new witness is NJ. d. Nichols
OF Easton, Md, who WAS called as an
expent on insurance. It IS understood
tlrat he is not a member of the Method
ist Episcopal Church, but was cordi-
ally received when he put in appear
ance ait Grace Church. Mr.. Nichols was
taken before the committee at once
and remained in the room where 0he
executive session is being held for
nearly am hour.
Those on the outside, who heard of
tlhe new witness, could not imagine
what the committee needed from an
insurance expert and 1t was this that
caused so much speculation. 1t is
Thought, however, that he acted in the
capacity as am expert accountant and
went over some figures for the COM
mittee. Mr.. Nichols left the church
as soon as the committee gol

WHAT BECA ME- Of Al + iI4AA@s
Another matter which is causing con-
siderable comment among the ministers
is In respect to the appeal papers pres
pared by the counsel for the defense

papers to the Bishop. the latter re-
summed them as they were not IN tins
proper legal form sone of them mol
