BISHOP FOWLER PASSED AWAY.
Well Known Methodist Leader Died 10 New
York Thursday After Long illness.

New York, March 20. = Bishop
Charles H. Fowler, of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, died this morning
at his home, at No. 338 West Seventy
second street. Bishop Fowler had
been ill for long time, but had been
critically bill only since last Wednes-
day. His death was due to heart fail
ure, resulting from complication of
diseases. He had been in i'll health
for two years, but during nearly all
that time he took more or less ac-
tive part in the affairs of the church.
AS late as two months ago he felt able
to make a journey to Minneapolis,
where he presided at the Fowler Mem
orial Methodist Episcopal Church.
His last public appearance was at
Metropolitan Temple Sunday follow
ing Washington's birthday, when he
took part in Washington memorial
service. His last visit to his Office in
the Methodist building on Fifth Av-
enue was made last Monday. We'd
nesday he was stricken with the ill
ness which resulted in his death early
to-day. 1t was expected that he
would be put on the retired list at
the session of the general conference
! of the church to be held in Baltimore
in May.
Bishop Charles Henry Fowler was
born at Burford, Ontario, August II,
1887, of English-Scotch parents. The
boy had hard struggle to get an ed
ucatiOn, living part of the time or
but a few cents a week, walking
across the country with his valist
on his back to save stage fare anC
working as farm hand during the sum
= Liner vacations. He also earEeC
money during he college year by
writing speeches for the wealthy
boys. In 1859 he graduated as val
edictorian of his class from Genese'
College, now Syracuse University
and in 1861 from the Garrett Biblica
Institute. He afterward received tn,
degree of LII. D. from Syracus,
University, and from Wesleyan Uni
versity. In 1876 he was elected ed
itor of the New York Christian Advo
cate, and four years later he becam
general missionary secretary of tn
ME-. Church. In May, 1884, he wa
elected bishop. He was regarded a
one o f the greatest preachers of hi
time, and several of his addresse
have been published in book form.

Withdraw TherefrOm Under Complaint.
Rev. Frederick E. McKinsey, until
recently pastor of Red Lion M. E.
Church, Friday severed his relations
with the Wilmington Annual Confer
ence, withdrawing frum the ministry
by consent of the conference. While
no charges had been preferred against
him, and no details were made known
when the matter came up Friday, it
is understood that Mr.. McKinsey was
recently accused of unministerial con-
duct, and by the advice of Presiding
Elder A. S. Mowbray of Wilmington
District, he relinquished his charge
until the session of Conference, The
matter came up Thursday when Pre-
siding Elder Mowbray's character was
passed, the latter replying to the US
ual question of the bishop, that there
were no formal charges against any
active elder of his district, but that
there was one case where informal
complaint had been made against Rev.
Frederick E. McKinsey, and that he
had looked into the matter and that
he held in is hand the request of
Mr.. McKinsey to be permitted to with
draw from the conference under COM
plant. This was granted by unani-
nous vote, and Mr.. McKinsey, ac-
cording to Bishop Goodsell, can never
re-enter the ministry of the Metho-

thrown; Revival of Interest.
Presiding Elder Koons, of Easton
District, who left his home last week
to attend the Annual Conference in
Wilmington, makes the following in
teresting report of this district: When
our Saviour said "By their fruits ye
shall know them," He announced a
principle of wide and varied applica-
tion. The final tests of all systems
of religion is fruitage. The fruit of
our Methodism on Easton District this
year has been abundant and satisfac-
tory. The year has had it's shadows.
Rev, w. R. Gwinn passed to his
heavenly home March 18th, after an
Hines which lasted most of the year.
He was a faithful preacher and led
many to Christ. Mary E., the de-
voted wife of our borther, Rev.
w. M. Warner, fell asleep in Jesus
November 1st, after Is years of beau
tiful life. Rev. Adam Jones, a local
preahecr, who had supplied charges in
our Conference for a number of years,
died March 14th, at the home of his
son, Rev. John w. Jones, at Ridgely,
Md. He had reached 68 years of age.
He was true man, of large ability
and usefulness.
The following charges increased
their pastoral support $1OO this year
Hillsboro, Fairlee, Rock Hall, and
Chestertown. The following increas-
ed $50: Sudlersville, Clayton, Ches-
void, and CrumptOn. These with
others make an aggregate increase of
$3.50 on the district.
We have raised larger sum for
the endowment fund for conference
claimants this year than last, but il
is still far from what it ought to be.
l hope this conference will take heroic
steps toward completing the $5, OOOC
endowment for this worthy cause.

SCANDALOUS FORT
Will GET SHAKEUP
Mrs. Hams Letters, Telling OF
Gay Frolics, Start War De-
partment Into Action.

New York, Nov. 9.--The wal depart
ment, II became known TO-DAY, has CIV
en- the military garrison at Fort Ham
ilton, where the Hains-Annis scandal
tragedy developed, one Of the biggest
shakeups In its history. The fort is
to be stripped not only of its staff OF
commanding officers, but it is to be
deprived even Of the post band, n OF
the largest and best In the service.
Under a drastic order, which Is to go
into effect in about a week, the stafr
n band will be transferred to Fort
Hancock at Sandy Hook. Fort Famil-
ton will then be left barren of it, great
social inspiration, the music which has
long made 1t one Of the gayest centers
Of army life in America.
The official explanation of change Is
that II is a mere routine procedure. Ac-
cording to q statement made by one OF
the officers at Fort Hamilton, the real
eason that turks behind the wholesale
change in the personnel of the garrt-
son is to be found in the revelations OF
the frolics at the post contained In the
alleged letters of Mrs. Claudia Hams.

dramatic. Mrs. Morse md Mrs. Curtis
had remained in the court room nearly
all day awaiting the verdict. Mrs. Cur
tbs showed signs OF giving way to her
emotion a number of times and once
when the jury returned to the court
room to receive Instructions on the
manner in which the conspiracy charge
should be considered, Mrs. Morse broke
down and sobbcd.
A large crowd had hurried into the
court o to hear the verdict. Mr..
Morse and Mr.. Curtis stood before the
jury while Foreman John Elder. was
reading h verdict and their wives sat
near them leaning forward in tense at
titudes to catch every word.
w have agreed upon q verdict in
the case OF both Defendants said the
foreman in a subdued voice. "On the
charge Of conspiracy we find them not
guilty"
A look of relief came to the faces of
the prisoners and their wives, but it
only lasted a moment, for Mr.. Elder
continued: n. ...
ION the charge of the misappNcation
of the funds of the bank we find both
defendants guilty. On the charge of
making false entries in the books of the
bank we find both defendants guilty.
In the case of Alfred H. Curtis the jury
wishes to make q strong recommended
ton to the mercy Of the court"
A stifled sob Of relief escaped Mrs.
Curtis as. she heard the recommended
ton for mercy for her husband. Mr..
Curtis took the verdict like a stole, but
Morse was unable to conceal the dis
appointment he felt. while his wife
showed no signs OF emotion. She kept
her eyes IN her husband, forgetting
herself and concerned only on his &C
count. ~.
There was a momentary hush in the
court room. This was broken by q
buzz Of excited conversation and a few
minutes later the lawyers for the de-
PENDANTS were making the customary
motions for a new trial, for bail, and
for permission to take ar appeal to the
circuit court Of appeals.
United States District Attorney
Stimson said that according to his
computation the prisoner had been
convicted on ga counts, all of which
are combined in the charges OF misap-
plication of funds and making false en-
tries in the book of h bank. The
latter charge also included the charge
Of making false reports to the comp
troller of the currency.

MARYLAND VOTE DIVIDED;
NEGRO VOTERS ILLITERATE

Baltimore, Nd, Nov. 9.-AIthough
returns have been received from two
missing counties and the count in Bal
timore city is almost complete, the re-
suit of the election on president still
Is in doubt. From the latest figures it
is certain that Bryan will have six
electors and may be seven. Taft is
sure Of one.
Baltimore, Md, Nov. 6.-The official
count has not been completed, but 1t
now seems probable the electoral vote
of Maryland will be diveded, seven to
Bryan and one to Taft.
This result is a precise duplication
of what occurred in the presidential
election of 1904, and the reason is that,
apparently more republicans than DEM
ocrats marked their ballots for the first
name in the electoral only.
1t is considered to be due chiefly to
the ballot law, which prohibits the
party emblem. The illiterate voter fire.
quently marks his ballot so that 1t
counts only for the first elector on the
ballot, n as the republican illiterate,
because of the large number of negroes
in that party, is greater than the dem
ocratic, there is always a considerable
discrepancy between the vote received
by the first republican elector than the
others.

MISSOURI REMAINS
IN REPUBLICAN F0LC
THE VOTE.

st. Louis, Nov. 9.-Supplementary re-
turns early today failed to disturb ma
terially Taft's lead Of 1926 in Missouri.
The state legislature seems fixed at a
democratic majority of six on joint bal
lot, although this is subject to change.
What doubts now exist relate mostly
to minor state offices and h consti-
tutional amendments proposed for
adoption.
The returns compiled give Taft 317, 124
votes and Bryan 312,Ss9, a plurality for
Taft OF 4,235.
Hadley's plurality for governor is
16, 1898. Returns, almost complete, give
Stone the. democratic nomination for
senator over Folk by 1899.
Stone is assured of reelection to the
Senate provided all democrats in the
legislature abide by the advisory vote
of the primary. That they will do this
is by no means certain, and there are
predictions tonight Of a senatorial
deadlock.
lieutenant Governor John C.. McKin-
ley has probably won the republican
senatorial nomination over Richard c..
Kerens by about $1,000 votes. The
doubt as to the state ticket other than
governor is by no means removed.
