COUNTY PENSION BOARD
 FINDS TWELVE VETERANS
They Apply to Have Their Names En- rolled on List of States
 Pensioners.

After being in session all week, the County Pension Board adjourned yes- terday, after receiving twelve appIi- cations of veterans who did not get their names on the pension lists dur ing the regular July session. These applications will be considered by the County Board. and referred to the State Board with recommendations.

 Boards all over the State have been holding these special session, and it is probable that the pension list will be increased 200 to 300 when all the re- turns are in.

INJEcTS NEGRO QUESTION
 IN METHODIST CONFERENCE
Animated Discussion is Heard During
 the Meeting.

Hamilton. O., Sept. 7.--(special. )- The injection of the negro question into the Cincinnati conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. in ses- sion here. provoked the most animated discussion heard during the meeting, and developed considerable heat.
 The question came up on a motion to amend the constitution of the church in a manner which according to the in- depreciation of some delegates, would have permitted negro bishops to be assigned to preside over white confer ences. The motion was vigorously op- posed by Dr. J. c. Vaughan. field agent of the India jubilee fund. He said: T am opposed to bob-tailed Episcopacy; 1t is un-American and un- Christian"
 He predicted that the adoption of the amendment would be followed by as many kinds of Methodism as there are races in the church. The motion was defeated by a vote of 12s to 21.
