 his resolve so that it took in also the democratic national committee. This change was accepted by many members as being wisely reasonable.
 Mr Troup wanted the resolution adopted immediately, but several speakers deprecated nasty action. Even tually the matter was referred to the executive committee with the under standing that 1t would make a report at some future meeting of the associa- tion to be called by the president.
 A statement that he had intended to prosecute all people who used large sums of money at the next election in his state was made by Governor Louis Warfeld of Maryland.
 William J, Bryan, the principal speaker at to-day's meeting, urged the passage of law by congress providing for a public declaration both by the donor and the recipient of all cam paign offerings. He wanted all viola tions of the law punishable as criminal offenses. By this means alone, he held could the secret contributions given for a sinister purpose, be stamped out, and a great hindrance to honest politics be overthrown. Other speakers were Samuel Gompers, the president of the American Federation of Labor; Cover nor Edwin Warfield of Maryland for mer Senator William F. Chandler of New Hampshire and Herman A. Metz, comptroller of the city of New York,
 Plans were formed for renewing ef- forts at the next congress for a public ity law of national scope.

TO BE EXAMINED FOR SANITY.

Judge Ralph Wheeler in the criminal side of the superior court yesterday morning, or the application of Attor- ney Frank Kenna and despite the op- position of State Attorney Williams, ap- pointed Dr. Robert E. Peck to deter mine the mental condition of William w. Carlson, a prisoner. Carlson has been held for trial in this court since last August for passing a fraudulent check for $50 on a local merchant, and it is stated that he also attempted to pass a bad check for $2,500 on Crown street liveryman. Carlson is well known in this city and was in business here until few years ago, when he took up the business of selling automobiles, though it is not recorded that he ever sold any.
 Since his arrest he has acted pecul- iarly. He discharged his counsel, At torney Kenna, and acted so strangely at times that the latter thought the state should send his client to an in sane asylum instead of putting him to trial. When the case came up yester- day morning Attorney Kenna moved Aor the appointment of a lunacy com- mission, giving his reasons therefor, but State Attorney Williams in opposing the motion said that Carlson was not the the victim of brain storm when he passed the check and neither was he afflicted by any other mental disor- der Judge Wheeler, however, thought that Carlson was not right mentally and named Dr. Peck as the expert to inquire into his responsibility.

IN AND ABOUT THE COURTS
WOODBRIDGE ISLANDER SUIT ON IN COMMON PLEAS COURT.

William Carlson to Be Examined for
 sanity-Eight Months for Embezzler
 Fined $50 for Carrying a Cum
 Other City Court Cases.
 The government of the town of Wood bridge moved into the common pleas court yesterday and backed up by a number of citizens dropped the cares of the township to listen to the trial of the $1,0OO islander suit brought against Selectman Rollin c. Newton by Joseph G. Dickenson, and which grew out of an argument on the towns affairs. The argument happened a year ago last July 3, and in it MT. Dickenson alleges &c., lectman Newton said to him: You haven't got dollar only what belongs to your wife, and further that he had bought himself into the legislature. All of which MT. Dlckenson says was false and was said to injure him and to infer that he had bribed his way into the leg islature when he was elected to it from @hoOloOAl IliI1 -llN6 dSOs
 To these allegations Selectman New ton answered that he had met MT. Dick enson at the town hall on the date in question relative to a suit brought by him against the town for injuries to his wife's property. In the conversation he did say that MT. Dickenson didn't have a dollar, but when he showed him he had said he "took it back" The con- versation about the legislature, he says, came about afterward by his saying that he knew at one time Dickenson did have money, but that as he had re- peatedly said he had spent a. thousand dollars to get into the legislature, he thought that he had spent it all, He did not mean to infer that he had brib- ed his way in. MT Dickenson was on the stand and repeated his allegations yesterday and will be followed by about 8 dozen witnesses for both sides.

BaItimOre-SituRtiOn Unique in
History of Church.

New York. April 5.-The Methodist Epis-

James n. Fitzgerald, and Stephen NJ. Mer-
rill.
The result of this situation is to force
on a few bishops the work Of their col
leagues who are dead or ill., The spring
conferences are under way and the
dearth of bishops has made it necessary
| for one man 10 be assigned 10 cover as
many as six conferences instead of one OF
two. as usual
OF the list of active bishops not all are
in this country. Some are stationed in
Europe and others are in China, Japan
Africa. and South America. Those al
present in the United States are:
Henry W. Warren Daniel A Go0dseli
A'dFld II. moore, James r Berry. W IL
liam F. Mcdowell, and Luther b. Wilson.
Bishop Mcdowell will probably preside
at the East German conference also. in
place of Bishop Hamilton. Bishop Luther
b. Wilson will direct the work of the
Troy conference on April 10. and of the
North New York conference on April u.
in place of Bishop Fowler. Bishop War
rem has four conferences to preside over,
NJ n
and Berry four, in place Of the usual one
or two.
At the close of}the last general confer
/ ence of the church in 1904. there were
twenty-three bishops. -Four have died and
seven have been retired. There now are
sixteen active bishops in the church, In
addition to seven missionary bishops.
