BIG CONFERENCE
World Important Gathering Of
MethOdiStS to Be Held
There Next Year
MOWBRAY ON COMMITTEE

The General Conference Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church will meet
in Baltimore in 1905. This decision
was reached yesterday by the book
committee of the General Conference
at the meeting in New York.
1t is the iargest ecclesiastical con-
vocation I'm America, and Baltimore is
considered exceptionally fortunate in
being selected for its next meeting. as
it will take at least $4,000 visitors
there There win be more than 500,
accredited delegates. including repre-
sentatives from all parts Of the world,
and all Of the bishops.
The sessions will last for a week or
more and matters of the greatest inn
portance TO the denomination. too inn
portant for the annual conferences TO
deal with, will be settled. Bishops
will be elected and appointed TO their
fields of work, and all the great activ-
tiles OF the church wi be discussed
by the leaders in those lines.
The Book Committee consists Of 30
men from different parts Of the United
States, but % of them are from west
Of the Alleghenies, which made it seem
quite possible that one of the three
Western cities bidding for the confer
ence would be selected.
Presiding Elder Mowbray, Of this
city is a member OF the committee.
1t has been twenty years since the
General Conference met in the East.
In 1904 the meeting was held in Los
Angeles, Cal, and four years before
that in Chicago

New Haven Roads Inventory About
 Finished by Stevens.

At the stockholders meeting of the New Haven road, which is to be held October 30, in this city, it is ex- pected that the report of John r. Stevens, vice president, who has been making an appraisal of the property owned, will be filed. How much will be made public is, of course, not known, but it is. practically certain that enough will be divulged to give investors and flnanciers an idea as to the status of the New Haven with re- gard to property owned in proportion to capital liabilities.
 Much interest is created here by the announcement made semi i-official- iy in Boston that when the inventory account of Vice President John F. Stevens is filed it will show that the New Haven road owns $4 worth of property for every dollar of liability expressed in stocks and bonds. This property is tangible. easements or rights of way Yesterday morning an authority in Wall street said:
 Few people have ever considered the appreciation which has taken place in the land and property, values of the New Haven road during the past forty years
 The company's real estate to-day is worth in the real estate market a sum sufficient to retire every dollar of share capital and bonded indebted ness twice over. In Boston alone the New Haven corporation owns between $75,00O,OOO and $1OO,OOO,OOO worth of property.
 Like every railroad which is obliged to listen to an ever increasing volume of public demands, the New Haven road needs money for more equip ment, new construction, etc. Tn re- sponse to traffic demands the com pany is receiving cars daily on it's or der for 1S,000 cars, which will cost over $20,000,000. These equipment contracts are falling due, and of course payment must be provided. The New Iaven's expansion unfortu- nately must be financed at time when there is little or no investment demand for securities except at such figures as are now witnessed for New Haven shares. This and this alone ac- counts for the prevailing low figures for New Haven stock.
 It is stated by those in touch with the New Haven road that the result of MT. Stevens appraisal will be made public, It is now known to be prac- tically complete and will be of great interest to financiers and business men in general,

POSTER CONTRACT AWARDED LOCAL DESIGNER CHOSEN Interest in Business Mems Exposition Continues
 to Grow.

Secretary F. J. Linsley of the New Haven Business Mems association last night announced that the association has accepted the design of Mir. A. V. Van Buren of this city for the poster to be used in advertising the Food and Industrial exposition to be given by the association the latter part of next month at the Second Regiment ar- mory.
 MT. Van Buren's design is most ar- tistic and will make one of the most attractive bill board displays ever seen in this city. The size of the poster will be what is known in advertising parlance as an 'eight-sheet." The color scheme is to be blue, red and white. The blue is a beautiful shade between what is known as Yale and navy blue and it will form the back ground of the poster. The main DOT tion of the letters are red with an out line of white which makes the conn bination exceedingly attractive. The posters will be printed by a new block system and follow after the same style of poster which is now being used by the largest advertisers in the country.
 Interest in the exposition is growing apace. Owing to the large demand from women who attended the lectures on domestic science at the last exposi- tion given by the association, Manager Linsley is now attempting to secure one of the best lecturers on domestic science in the country This woman is
 an Acknowledged authority on matters pertaining to the household and if her services can be secured 1t will be a matter on which the association will feel just right to receive congratula- tions.
 Chairman s. s. Adams of the exhibits committee is extremely well pleased over the speedy closing of contracts by exhibitors. Tt will be the best ex- position the association has ever held," said MT. Adams enthusiastically yes- l terday. "The list of exhibitors who have already signed space contracts is one of which any management should
 feel proud and I feel entirely safe in
 saying that the exhibits will be the most extensive ever grouped together l in any exposition of the kind ever held outside of New York city,
