WILL END LIFE TENURE.
Effect of Revolutionary Resolution
AS to Bishops, Introduced in
Methodist Conference.

An unexpected and revolutionary
proposal-being nothing less than
one to abolish the life tenure OF the
Episcopacy-was presented to the
general conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church of the United
States at Baltimore Tuesday. This
action is a symptom of certain rest
lessness in the conference and the
church over the question of the cleo
ton of new bishops and the Epis-
copal government generally. The res
olution was introduced by Rev. E
A. Schell of LaPorte, Ind, and Rev.
Z. w. Carpenter as a memorial from
the Northwest Indiana conference,
and was referred to the COMMITTEES
on Episcopacy without debate.
This is the main provision:
Resolved, That hereafter an cleo
tion to the office of bishop shall be
for a term of IL years only, without
reelection, and that after the COM
pletion of the term he shall become
an effective member of the conference
from which he was elected"
After protracted debate reso-
luton calling on congress to pass a
bill giving officers who saw service
in the civil war in the volunteer army
the same advantages as those enjoyed
by those who served in the regular
army. was laid on the table. The
vote was very close.

GERM EASILY THROWN OFF.
Seventy Per Cent of People Declared
to Get Implantat:on of Disease.

Seventy per cent. of the people liv-
ing in civilized communities get inn
plantation of tuberculosis, but only Is
per cent. of the people succumb to
the disease, according to Dr. Law
renee Flick, superintendent of E
White Haven, Pa, sanitarium. DR..
Flick made this statement Saturday
at the ninth annual meeting of the
American Therapeutic society, held at
Philadelphia. Expert physicians dis
cussed the proper treatment of the
disease. DIR. Flick's was the most
sensational paper.
"As a rule the tubercule bacillus is
ont very virulent to human beings
he declared "The tendency TO re-
cover is so great that the majority of
those who suffer implantation will re-
cover without developing noticeable
symptoms Without mixed infection,
tuberculosis would never kill"

NOT MRS. GUINNESS TOOTH
Rings Believed to Belong to the
Woman Recovered in the Morgue
Near the Burned Bones.

DIR. p. Norton, a dentist, to whom
the supposed tooth found on the Gun
ness farm Tuesday was turned over
for examination, declares that the ar
ticle is merely piece of gilded wood
probably from picture frame instead
of tooth supposed to be that of Mrs
Guinness.
Close to the torso on the slab in
the morgue was chunk of what was
taken to be charcoal. 1t was so badly
burned as not to resemble flesh. On
Monday evening this cinder was
broken open and was found to b.
what was left of a human hand, the
fleshless fingers tightly clutched.
On the skeleton fingers were three
rings that had withstood the heat OF
the flames Two of them were plain
gold bands and a microscopic exam
ination showed one TO be the wedding
ring given Mrs. Guinness by MAIDS A.
Soreson at Chicago The other gold
band is supposed to be the wedding
ring given her by Peter S. Guinness,
her second husband The third was
a slender ring holding a chip dia-
mond
These three rings have been iden-
tilted by persons who say they are
satisfied they had seen Mrs. Guinness
wear them. The rings are in pos
session of Coroner Mack.

WHY CREAMERIES
ARE FAILURES
THE REASON WHY DREAMER
les CANNOT OPERATE sue
CESSFULLY IN MANY
PLACES is ON Ac-
COUNT OF LACK =
OF COWS.

During the last few years there
have been built in the United States
several thousand creameries, many OF
which have been successful from the
start, while others have failed after
few months operation, and some
were never operated.
An investigation of the creamery
business by people who are interested
in knowing why country butter" is
being displaced by the creamery
product, has shown that the cause OF
the many failures was due to lack OF
sufficient number or cows, which
should not be less than ten and others
failed because of improper organiza-
ton, in the case of cooperative
creameries, and excessive cost OF
building and equipment Many cream
cries have cost about twice their actu-
al worth, and were not of the type
that was suited to the locality in
which they were built.
Concerning the creamery business
J. +. Boyer, of Boyer Bros. Co.,
says: THE creamery business, like
other lines of business, must be thor
oughly understood by parties enter
ing into it or failure is certain. In
order to be successful it is essential
to have large number of cows avail
able is difficult to operate a sue
c-ssful creamery in Indiana, owing to
he low average number of cows kept
by farmers The building of cream
cry plant should not be undertaken
for less than 5000 to $4,000, and if
refrigerating machinery is included,
and it is intended TO have a thorough
~ equipped plant, $1,000 more shoulc
be added. Twelve hundred dollars
would probably buy one frst-class
cream vat of the latest type, and it
would be very short-lived. There are
no equipments that deteriorate SO
fast as creamery machinery, owing
to the constant dampness to which
they are subjected"

TO TEST GRAVEL ROAD LAW.
Hamilton Co. Commissioners Will
Be Enjoined from Selling Bonds.

The law firms of Shirts & Fertig

have been retained to bring proceed

sioners from selling bonds Tor the
Improvement of gravel roads. The
| object of the suit is to test the con-
stitutionality of the gravel road law.
While the suit will attack the law as
a whole, special attention will be
! called TO the three-mile limit clause,
which provides that township may
be taxed for the construction of a
new road without giving the taxpay,
erS an opportunity to be heard The
law, as it now stands, makes it man.
datory on the Commissioners to build
roads, providing the petitions have
the required number of legal sig
natures and the viewers report that
the work will be of public utility The
suit will apply to only one road, this
being sufficient to get the case started
in channel for the Supreme Court
This test case will likely be far-reach-
ing in it's effect and may result in
stopping work on the roads that were
to have been built in Hamilton county
this summer Contractors and bond
companies are not likely to proceed
with the work when the constitution
al1ty of the act is questioned. Con-
tracts amounting to $225,0OO for the
construction of gravel roads have
been let by the Commissioners in the
last ninety days and arrangements
had been made for the sale of most
of the bonds. This case will delay
the work at least year The injunc-
ton will be filed in the names OF
some of the heaviest taxpayers in the

PAPER MADE FROM
SUGAR CANE
Invention of Trinidad Planter May
Revolutionize Industry.

A consular report, interesting in
view of the wood pulp investigation
now being conducted by a special
committee of the House, has reached
the State Department from Consul
General Guenther at Frankfort, Ger
many 1t relates TO the invention by
Trinidad planter of process for
the manufacture of superior quality
of paper from bagasse. the dry refuse
of sugar cane 1t is stated that he
has erected paper works in connec-
ton with his sugar factory at an ex-
pense of $4,000. The inventor claims
that "a per cent of the bagasse is
transformed into paper pulp and he
believes that his invention will revolu-
tionize the cane sugar industry, as il
would be remunerative to plant sugar
cane primarily for making paper, with
the sugar as by-product. The cost
of paper production by the process
is said TO be very low.

POLICY IS NO MENACE.
Roosevelt Says Business Depression
Was Due to the Revelation OF
Shocking Conditions.

In a speech 70 number OF mem
bers of the National prosperity asso-
citation of St. Louis, who called at
the White House Monday, the presi-
dent expressed the utmost confidence
in the return of good times. lnciden-
tally, he preached them little SER
mon on good government. He said
the policy of the administration con-
tains no more menace to business
than the legislation already enacted.
The prosperity committee was head
ed by f. c. Simmons and included
]. E. Smith, w. K. Bixby, Edward
Devery, F. B. Wiberg, of Cincinnati
Maurray Carleton, Festus Wade, G.
f. Meyer and Jackson Johnson.
Among other things the president
said:
"As you have said the depression
and stagnation from which our coun-
try is now beginning to recover, were
not caused by reform legislation but
by the revelation of shocking con-
ditions, in certain of our corpora
tons, by reckless operations in high
finance, by calamity and by certain
striking, although | believe exception
al. instances of business and civic
dishonesty OF course, all good men
must agree with you in your condem-
nation of unwise legislation. The
apathetic acceptance of abuses in our
governmental and business admins
trations is no more dangerous than
the demagogic appeals of profess
sional agitators to class hatred Our
rational conscience, ! firmly believe,

back to the conditions which brought
the depression about"

SWAMP WAR
IS STARTED
BRYAN FOR RECLAMATION
TELLS DRAINAGE CONGRESS
THAT PROJECT IS AS
FEASIBLE AS TO
WATER ARID
LANDS.

In an address before the Drainage
Congress at Washington, William
Jennings Bryan said he was heartily
in sympathy with the movement fol
the reclamation OF the swamp lands
OF this country through drainage.
Bryan is at Washington to attend
the conference of Governors on tn.
conservation of the Nations natural
resources. More than 400 delegates
from all parts of the United States
were present when w. S. Braddock oil
Wisconsin, vice president, called for
order Tuesday in the absence OF
Governor Broward of Florida, the
president
The speakers included Secretary oil
the Interior Garfield; Senators New
lands of Nevada and Clapp of Mime
sofa; Representatives Ransdell OF
Louisiana and Burton of Delaware;
Governor Blanchard of Louisiana; r.
0. Austin, chief of the Bureau of Sta
tistics, and Col. p. Goodyear of Geor,
gia. All expressed hearty indorse,
ment of the proposed scheme of re-
claiming the swamp lands of the
country.
Il have no doubt whatever of the
practicability, the feasibility and the
righteousness of the drainage of om
swamps," said Bryan. Il have no
more doubt that the swamps ought to
be drained and brought under cult
walton than 1 have that the arid lands
ough TO be watered | know of no
general rule that would justify one
that would not justify the other
Bryan expressed the opinion that
the bringing of the swamp lands of
the country into cultivation would
mean a wonderful addition to the
wealth of those sections ard the
wealth of the country at large.
He said he recognized that there
are apt TO be differences of opinion
as to the plan by which the swamps
are to be reclaimed. Some of these
differences" he said, "are due to dif-
ferences in the construction of the
constitution" But" continued the
speaker, 81 am sure in this case there
are no differences that may not be
harmonized / believe the differences
of opinion in regard to the sphere OF
the states and the sphere of the ma
ton can be harmonized, and especial
ly is this true if the plan is such tina:
it can be self-supporting."
Senator Clapp expressed the belief
that legislation looking to the reclaim
alton OF the swamp lands will pass
Congress and declared he would give
it his earnest support Secretary Gar,
field outlined the work of his depart,
ment with reference to retaining
the swamp lands and referred to its
preparedness TO undertake the work il
