ney General, said: He was a powerful,
think that had he lived in the days Of the

Navarro. his white plume would have

modern way
Mr.. Peyton declared that in his esti-
nation no man possessed more compelling
oratory and more magnetism than Cal
loway-chosen to the episcopacy from the
editorial chair Of a newspaper.
Rev. J. Howard Wells, pastor of Mount
Vernon Church, spoke at some length, and
during his remarks declared that no man
was more influential in welding the bonds
Of understanding and comfy between the
two branches of the Methodist Episcopal
family than the late bishop.
Rev. ]. w. r. Sumwalt, District su-
perintendent of Methodist Episcopal

deceased prelate exercised to bring the
two branches of Methodism together.
IAN Methodism knew and loved and
honored him. said DR.. Sumwalt. "Since
the news of his death came the Methodist
Episcopal Church has mourned with as
sincere, genuine and profound a sorrow
as the members of the church he chose
to serve Methodism has lost one of her
leaders in his going from us. He was
and the strife, reached out his hand,
seeking for a common ground on which
we all might stand, and now across that
ever narrowing gulf he is one of the
stoutest bridges.
''He was a man: and what a privilege
man whom office cannot defect, whom
the spoils Of Office cannot buy, who can
look demagogue in the eye and damn
his batteries without a flicker Of fear!"
Rev. DR.. W. V. Tudor. first pastor of
Mount Vernon Church. said Bishop Gal
loway was the youngest prelate in the
Methodist Episcopal Church South, hav-
ing been elected in his thirty-seventh

to their ambitions said DR.. Tudor. but
such ambition could not grasp, and did
not grasp, Dr. Galloway"

System was the principal topic discussed
before a special session of the Interde-
nominational Bible College at the Ply
mouth Congregational Church yesterday
afternoon
Prof. Jesse Lawson said: The great
need of the colored people is moral and
social development. and SO far as their
Immediate education is concerned. the
emphasis should be placed on morality
rather than upon intellectuality Under

Kansas under the pure food law. There
has been considerable discussion as to

TAKES up CITY PLANNING IDEAS
Mr.. MACFARLAND WILL TRY TO
HAVE THEM APPLIED.
Will Propose Changes to Building,
Health and Police Regulations
and Congressional Action.

Practical suggestions made during the
City Planning, held last Friday and Sat
urday, will be tabulated and brought to
the attention of the District Commission
ers for local application by Commissioner
Mcfarland.
The president of the District board
found in the discussions many arguments
for improvement which have been urged
before Congress, along the line OF con-
verting alleys into minor streets, the
reclamation OF the Anacostia flats, the
development of the park system in the
newer sections of the city and the i'm
provement of the water front
Will Try to Apply Ideas.
Il followed closely the addresses and
discussions at the city planning confer
ence sessions said Commissioner Mac
farland today. with view to getting all
the practicable suggestions possible for
the Improvement of our conditions here.
"A number of practical suggestions
were made, which, either by act or Con
gress or by amendment of building,
health, police or other regulations. could.
l think, be put in force here with ad-
vantage. l shall have those suggestions
tabulated and take them up with the
Commissioners with view to Such actlon
as will be most profitable
1.-The recent decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States to which ref
erence was frequently made upheld the
validity of the law providing dlferent
limits of heights for buildings in dlferent
sections of the city, sustains the dinerence
made here between the height of build
ings on resident streets and the height of
buildings on business streets and may pe
used still further to regulate the height
of buildings by sections instead of streets.
Police Power Invoked.
TT is clear also that much can be
done under the general police power
for the improvement of sanitary and
other conditions. OF course, what we
want Immediately here Is new law
that will meet the decision of the Su-
preme Court of the United States I'm
the Brandenburg case, so as to perfect
the conversion of alleys into minor
streets. together with a better provi-
sion for houses with low rents for
those who have been living in the
cheap alley houses and elsewhere
which have been condemned under the
insanitary buildings law The work
under that act is bound to go on and
already something less than 1000 peo-
pie have been displaced.
THE Presidents homes commission
has suggested that provision be made
for a loan of money by Congress to
building associations organized for the
purpose of building sanitary houses,
for such low rentals as Will bring them
within the reach of unskilled labor,
since private philanthropic effort has
not sufficed for this purpose.
"Of course. our general plans for the
improvement of the park system. in
cluding the treatment of the Rock
Creek valley and of the Anacostia ba-
sin, and the wharf front, will be press
ed before Congress. Every citizen
ought to see the exhibit of city pla ms
now being shown at the Raleigh Ho-
tel"
