WANTS LOS ANGELES
AMONG ASSIGNMENTS
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA DELE
GATE STARTS DISCUSSION
Would Substitute City Of Angels for
Philadelphia When Question Of
Episcopal Residence Is
Reported

BY Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, May 27.-The report of
the committee on temporal economy
recommending a plan for more ad-
equate support of superannuateu
preachers and other conference claim
ants was adopted by the general confer
ance of the Methodist Episcopal church
today. The episcopal commission re-
ported upon the assignment of episco-
pal residences. Shanghai, China, Is
abolished and residences are established
at Foo Chow and Pekin, gain OF one
for that field. Otherwise there was no
change from the existing assignments,
but the report started hot debate,
which extended the length or the ses-
sion nearly an hour beyond Its usual
time of adjournment, and when the
session finally closed the matter was
still Enacted upon.
The discussion started with motion
by a Southern California delegate to
substitute Los Angeles for Philadelphia
in the list of cities named.
A Philadelphia member moved to lay
the substitute on the table, but his
motion was lost-25S ayes, 1858 noes. A
motion to recommit was voted down de-
cisively.
Speaking of one amendment substi-
tuting Detroit for Los Angeles, DIR.
Dickie of Albion, Mich, declared that
Detroit had been selected in the COM
mittee, but that hast night In the ABB
sence of those in charge of the Michl-
gan city's interests there was recast-
ing of the list and Detroit was omitted
DR.. John Sweet OF Detroit confirmed
this statement and gave reasons which
he maintained demanded that Detroit
be decided upon as the headquarters
of one of the bishops. AS he concluded
a score of delegates were upon their
feet seeking recognition, but motion
to adjourn cut off the discussion and
left the report still In order of consider
alton.
Earlier in the day the conference
voted not to elect missionary bishop
for Mexico at this time and received
report setting forth the needs or the
church in San Francisco as result of
the great fire. The matter will come up
tomorrow for action. The report urged
the creation of fund of $250,000 to be
used in rehabilitating the Methodist
Episcopal church in San Francisco de-
stroyed at the time of the earthquake
and suggests that an assistant secre-
tary of the board of home missions and
church extension be designated to as
sumo the task of raising money.
In refusal to authorize a missionary
bishop for Mexico it appeared to be the
sense of the conference that owing to
the nearness of that country to the
United States and the fact that there
are but 5000 Methodists there, a bishop
for that field exclusively was unneces-
sary at this time.

food, clothing and medical attention.
The search for the body of Seaman
Hooline was continued for some time,
but without avail, and finally, leaving
him to his grave in the waves, the
cruiser returned to Avalon, where they
arrived at D. m. with the members of
the rescued party and their launch.
At Avalon the party was taken to
the hotel and there given further med
ical attention, which the condition of
the women and children especially de-
manded.

and after being thorough examined,
having her tanks refilled, left Avalon,

CAPTAIN OF ZEUS KNOWN
AND LIKED BY HUNDREDS

Captain Antonio Christ, or "Tony, the
Greek" as he is familiary referred to
by the tourists and natives of Santa
Catalina island, was one of the most
popular boatmen of that famous resort
and was known and liked by some of
the most prominent persons in the
world, who have spent summer months
there camping and fishing and who
Tony has taken out on various expe-
ditions.
Senators, millionaires and wealthy
and titled tourists from Europe and the
east frequently carried away with
them, as a memento of their sojourn
on the magic isle, a postcard photo of
the able seaman, who had been for
over twenty years on the island, and
who knew every fishing ground in the
vicinity. lie was considered one of
the most reliable seamen there. He
was brave, fearless and trustworthy
and did not know the meaning of the
word fear, although he always avoided
danger as far as possible when leading
an island cruise or expedition as a mat
ter of earnest consideration for his pas.
sengers.
Tony has had more exciting expert
ences than almost any boatman on the
island, and time and again has expert
enced narrow escapes from death. His
own fishing experiences and those he
has witnessed while taking anglers out
would fill many interesting volumes.
Tony was unmarried. He loved the
life of the sea and never seemed ma
ural except when out in one of his
boats. He owned several small craft
beside the Zeus. the Inflated launch of
what Is believed was his last voyage.
The missing man had hundreds Of
friends all over the country and on the
island. especially he was loved by all
who knew him. He was generous
whole souled and tried always to make
his word good when he gave it, His
death, II he was drowned as it now
seems, will be mourned by all who
kneW him.

Debate Limited


The conference vote on the compro-
mise currency bill was reported to the
house at 2:35 p. m. Mr. Vreeland i'm
mediately moved to suspend the rules
and agree to the report, the motion linn
iting the debate to twenty minutes.
Ollie James of Kentucky asked IL IL
would not be in order for the report TO
go over until tomorrow in order that
members might be provided with
copies. With a resounding whack of
the gavel, the speaker only replied:
1.-THE clerk will proceed with the
reading"
The reading of the report was con-
cluded at p. m. Discussing the new
bill covered by the report, Mr.. Vree-
land said it represented the unanimous
vote of the Republican conferees. and
he expressed the hope that IL would be
passed by the Republican house.
I'VE believe" he said, that the Re-
publican party has not ceased to be a
great constructive party. We believe
the evidence is overwhelming that the
Republican party Is still an adhesive
party, with power to place upon the
statute books legislation that will pre-
vent a recurrence of such a disaster as
befell the American people last Oc-
tober."
"Thii is a partisan pretense," de-
clared Mr.. Glass of Virginia, another
minority conferee, and he added that
Mr.. Vreeland had never undertaken to
disguise the fact that he had consid-
cred the matter from a partisan stand
point

Senator La Toilette refused to outline
