New York, Dec. 1.-THE artific-

stocks were jerked up. but without
satisfactory results These spas
modic movements seemed to accom-

opposition against the attempt to car
ry prices still higher at this time.
Apparently the market has been
bulled almost to a standstill.
Investors look askance at the

easily from the Newport team on Sat
urday by the score Of p to 5.
Delaware City rolled un a big score
at the beginning Of the game and at

ing to this fact the interest in the game
was not as great as it would otherwire
have been. nevertheless the excellent
playing Of the home team did much to
keep up the spirit Of the ''rooters."

Has Driven WOrkingmen
From Church, tie Says

THE Methodist Church has got to
give more time to things in the indus
trial. social and political world. We
must face the problems that are be-
fore us, yet not losing sight of the fact
that we must keep our forethought
along spiritual lines" said the Rev.
R. ]. watkins, of West New Brighton,
Staten Island, N. r., formerly Of the
Wilmington Conference, at the weekly
meeting of the M. E. Preachers Assoc
citation in Union Church this morning.
He was speaking of the movement to-
ward q wider tolerance of amusements,
now occupying the General Conference
at Baltimore. The Methodist Episeo-
pal Church had estranged the working
man by its intolerance Of popular
pleasures, he asserted, and he well
coined the fact that the church was
showing a more liberal tendency. Mr.
Watkins is visiting the city on his way
to General Conference.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing term Of six months:
President, the Rev. Fl. G. Turner; vice
president, the Rev. n. X. Kellogg; sec
