NOT DEFENDING
NIGHT RIDERS
BISHOP MOORE MAKES AN Elk.
PLANTATION OF HIS RE-
CENT STATEMENT.
HAS NO SYMPATHY
For Lawlessness, but Believes If Night
Riders Could Destroy To-
bacco il Would Be
Good Thing.

New York. April 5.-The mooted
question of the advisability of adopt.
ing statement of faith and of elimi-
hating from the church discipline the
injunction against certain popular
amusements came up during today's
proceedings OF the New York Meth
odist conference. The first was dis
posed of by an expression unfavorable
to the suggestion, while the latter, UNI
der the rules, went over 10 Monday for
action.
Chancellor James r. Day. of SYRIA
cuse university, made a statement TO
the conference today in which he de-
clared on behalf of Bishop Moore that
the bishop was not in sympathy with
the barn burners of Kentucky, but
that the bishop felt the destruction Of
tobacco in view of the position of the
Methodist church, to be a commend
able thing The chancellor said that
the bishop did not look favorably upon
destruction of the barns and ware
houses containing the tobacco.
This action was the result of a state
ment made by the bishop yesterday
in which he was quoted as commend
ing the destruction OF tobacco by the
Kentucky night riders
Later Bishop Moore made state
ment in his own behalf in reference to
his remarks for the might riders"
He said
Il have no sympathy with any form
of lawlessness. and for the might
riders" only denunclation. My refer
ence was misunderstood
my time was so limited that could
not sufficiently qualify my statements,
My thought was If this lawlessness
should result in the abandoning of to-
baceo culture and substituting some
other form of agriculture, wholesome
in its character, we should have rea-
son to thank God for bringing good
out of evil"
The Rev. Delos Lull presented to
the conference today a resolution urg-
ing the promoters of the anti-saloon
to advocate a constitutional
looking toward prohibi-
ton. He declared that state prohibit
ton and local option were scarcely eff
fective and that a national decree
would afford the only solution of the
question. The resolution
was referred to comittea
He called upon Chancellor Day TO +
