After the West Virginia had made
fast, Captain Corwin p Rees, COM
mandant of the Honolulu Naval Sta
ton and Lieut.. Commander Moses,
captain of the yard, went aboard and
paid their respects to Admiral Swim
burne. Presently Mrs. Swinburne, who
arrived on the Manchuria, and had the
distinction of megaphOning her admiral
husband as the passenger liner passed
the feet in mid ocean, came on. When
the Tennessee entered port Admiral
Sebree Immediately went over to the
West Virginia and reported to Admit
raj Swinburne.
This exchange of courtesies was mi
nutely observed by the crowds, who
were impatient to spread out over the
wharves for a closer inspection of the
warships. Their curiosity was graft
fed after the local officers had finished
their formal calls.
Then a red pennant at the fore of
the Maryland attracted attention.
Then it was learned that this pennant
with a black disc in the center desig-
mated the. Maryland as the champion
ship of the Navy in gunnerv, having
won the pennant trophy at Magdalena
Bay last March. The Maryland is
head of the class of vessels having
turrets. so this honor gives them preee-

Wonder was expressed that men
could more tnan exist on such vessels.
There seemed hardly any room on deck
to enjoy promenade. Everything
seemed to be armored-bow, bridge,
smokestaeks, skyhghts, running gear,
wireless masts, hawsers, chains, anchors
and rails The crowd was also inter
ested in the towing devices. The out
fit is composed of bride of galvaniz-
ed steel, secured to the towing bits on
each side of the cruiser well aft. Where

CONFERENCE ASKS
FOR LABOR SECRETARY
Whose Business Shall Be to Bring About
More Cordial Relations Between
the Church and the
Toilers.

Rev, Ralph r. Lowe, former pastor Of
the Methodist church here, introduced
the following resolutions to be sent To
the general conference:
Whereas. II Is alleged that there is a
growing ehasm between the church and
the laboring man. some claiming that
the church is more or less indifferent to
the needs Of the latter, and, whereas,
Methodism by its very spirit and genius
has always been especially adapted To
do work among the plain people, whom
Jesus loved and lived among; and where's
as, there are large numbers now outside
Of the influence Of the church who need
TO be lifted into higher life, therefore,
as one step towards meeting this prob
lem, we request YOU to elect a secretary
Of church and labor, whose business shall
be to bring about d cordial understands
ing between tho parties named.
We express the hope that ii will be
possible for you to set forth statement
OF the social needs Of tbe hour, affirm
ing your sympathy with all wise efforts
towards bringing about industrial justice
and peace, and stating the firm conyic-
tion that the spirit of Christ is ahso-
lutely essential ii the end 1t 10 be at-
tanned
We request that paragraph be in-
serted IN the Discipline calling the atten-
tion OF our ministry and laity to the
necessity Of their giving careful atten-
tion and study to civic obligations and
problems, such an attitude being abso-
.lutely essential not only to the noblest
development III personal character, but
also To the more rapid approach Of
the kingdom Of God .on earth
The recommendation were unanimous.
~ adopted
After notices, the conference adjourned
with the benediction BY the Bishop.
