TAFT HAS BUSY Time
Secretary Resumes His Duties at the
War Department.

Washington, April 24.-Secretary
Taft resumed his routine duties at the
war department. The fact that it was
cabinet day made 1t necessary for him
to cut short the time allowed to call
ers and to postpone until a more con.
venient moment the consultations he
desired to have with General Bell,
chief of staff, and the other officials.
1t is doubtful If, in his Washington
experience, the secretary has had to
deal with more newspaper men than
he saw during the day. They were
mainly DESTROYS to learn just what the
secretary intended to do in answer to
the challenge which Senator Foraker
had issued in regard to the contest in
Ohio. Mr.. Taft frankly told his news.
paper callers that he was under the
disadvantage of a considerable al.
sence from the country, with only
scanty news of the important political
events that had occurred. He did not

It was proper for him to make any
kind or a statement as to his political
opinions and plans.

STUBBORN STREAK IS
SHOWN BY THE CHURCH
Defies the Bishop in Choice OF
A Pastor.


Washington, Oct. 21-A serious
church ruction has been created here
by the action of Bishop Mcdowell in
refusing to appoint the Rev. Madison
Swadener of Kokomo, Ind, as pastor
of the Dumbarton Avenue Methodist
church of this city. the Rev. Mr..
Swadener has been for some time pas
tor of the Methodist Church at koko-
mo, and formerly occupied pulpits at
Richmond and Marion.
The Dumbarton Avenue Church ex-
tended call to him. He accepted and
things were moving along lovely until
the preachers of the conference decid-
ed that this importation of Hoosier
talent would be prejudicial to their in
terests and that home pulpits should
be reserved for home preachers. Then
they appealed to Bishop Mcdowell
who has just appointed the Rev. Dr.
Padgett of Baltimore to the Dumbart-
on Avenue charge.
The congregation is up in arms, the
trustees having notified the bishop
that unless they get Swadener they
will reduce the salary of their pastor
and that life as shepherd of their
flock will be anything but pleasant fol-
DR.. Padgett.
