METHODISTS WANT
YOUNGER PASTORS

PHILADELPHIA, March 1.-Philadel-
phia Methodists, particularly laymen,
are looking forward with more than
usual interest to the annual conference
which opens it's sessions in Tioga
church, March II, with Bishop Hamilton
presiding The laymen are especially
interested in the appointments to follow
the retirement of Rev. DIR. John G. VIII
son from the SUPPLEMENTARY of the
northwest district, moi only in that Of
his successor, but In the filling OF
the pulpit which the appointment of
such successor necesstates.
There has been an insistent demand
for young men to take the more impor-
tant posts in the conference, and ii is
believed that the attention which must
be paid to so plainly expressed a pref
erence will mean that some of the older
men must be made to realize that the
time has come for them to give way to
newer blood and methods.
1t is understood that the original plan
was to send DR.. Wilson to either Union
or Park Avenue church, and If the
former, the pastor of that church. Rev.
DR.. G. Buckley Burns, would become
district superintendent. But Union will
spare no efforts to retain DR.. Burns,
and he does not appear particularly
anxious for the superintendency. Park
Avenue church has also asked its pas
tor. Rev. DR.. Linn Bowman, to re-
main.

DEAN OF PASADENA CLERGY
ANNOUNCES HIS RETIREMENT

PASADENA, March Rev. Robert
r. Meridith, pastor of the First Con-
gregational church and, by common
consent, dean of the Pasadena clergy,
announces his resignation, to take eff
feet on it's presentation, which will be
at a meeting of the trustees of the
church Wednesday night.
For six years DR.. Meridith has been
pastor of the First Congregational
church, coming here from the Temp
kins Avenue Congregational church of
Brooklyn, N. Y, where he served fif-
teen years. In this city, although
broken in health, he succeeded in lead
ing his people from the small church
at the corner of Pasadena avenue and
California street to the present attrac-
tive building at the corner of Marengo
avenue and Grenn street, and freeing
this new property, in the heart of the
city, from debt. Failing health is the
reason for his withdrawal from active
work.
Dr. Meridith is worldfamed Bible
scholar and has the reputation of being
one of the foremost preachers of his
church.

ACCUSED OF HAVING GlVEfl
MANY WORTHLESS CHECKS
Officers in Search of Missing Tustin
Man-Claims Aggregate
More Than $500

SANTA ANA, March IA warrant
has been issued for the arrest of Frank
Howard, former resident of Tustin,
who is charged with uttering a num-
Der of fictitious checks amounting to
more than $500 in the aggregate. How
ard has been managing a threshing
outfit and worked near Long Beach
some time ago. From these came the
first word of his peculiar business
methods when an employe, to whom he
had given a worthless check, caused his
arrest. He was taken back and this
check was settled for, but soon there
came others to local banks until more
than half a dozen had been presented
and refused payment Seach for How
ard developed the fact that he had
operated in Los Angeles and Arcadia,
at which latter place, week ago, he
cashed two checks for a considerable
amount.

ant of his whereabouts, but last Sat

SANTA ANA, March ii. R. Keene,
the man who broke into Hawley's gun
store and stole thirtytwo revolvers,
was arraigned today and will appear
in the superior court next Friday
morning to answer. Keene admits his
guilt, but tells a pitiful story of having
been driven to steal in order to get
money to send to his sister, who, he
says, is attending school.

MISS STOKES DECLINES TO
TESTIFY; BAIL PUT AT $500

PASADENA, March 1.-Acting on the
advice of her attorney, Miss Una
Stokes, accused of forging the name
of Miss Harriet Ivans to checks
amounting to $195, refused to testify in
her preliminary examination this morn
ing and -1as bound over to the superior
court by Judge H. H. Klamroth, bail
being fixed at $1,000.
Miss Stokes laughed and chatted
throughout the examination. In fact,
she seemed far more at her ease than
was the prosecuting witness, Miss
Ivans, who nearly broke down on the
stand.
A possible line of defense was opened
by counsel for the defendant, Il. M.
Thornton of Los Angeles, in his cross
examination, when he sought to es-
tablish the fact that Miss Stokes had
been in the First National bank many
times to cash money orders, and that it
was on these occasions that she was
seen by the paying teller, John II.
Booge, who identified her as the wo-
man who had cashed the checks de-
clared to be forgeries

CAPT. HAMS CRAZY,
PRISON KEEPERS SAY
Physical Examination at Jail by Ply
sician Found Him Weak, but
with No Mental AiIment

NEW YORK, March Capt. Peter
G. Hams, jr., is said to be in failing
health and within the past few days
his condition has become so serious
that he was subjected to a thorough
physical examination by DR.. Charles
N. Platt, physician to the Queens
county Jail. yesterday afternoon.
No physical ailment was discovered,
yet 1t is known that the captains con-
dition has been such for the past few
weeks as to alarm both Sheriff Her
bert S. Harvey and Warden Charles S,
Van Size. Ever since his arrest for
the shooting of William E. Annis,
which occurred at the Bayside Yacht
club on the afternoon of August Is
last, Capt. Hams has been subject to
fits of melancholy and depression.
Jenkins Hams, who was tried for par
ticipation in the murder, the captain
has been left alone in the big corridor
on the top floor of the Queens county
Jail in Long Island City.
Deprived of the stimulus of his
brothers presence it is said the pris-
oners detection has been steadily
growing more and more pronounced,
until now at times he refuses to leave
his cell. He neglects TO take. his GUS
tomary exercise and is unkempt and
slovenly about his personal appearance.
He talks. in monosyllables.
From a pallor his complexion has
taken on sickly yellow hue and his
long hair and ragged beard, which has
not been shaved for more than a month,
add to his wretched appearance. 1t is
said that he is simply wasting away
and all attempts to arouse him from
his lethargy have proved unsuccessful.
Sometimes he allows his food to go
untouched. At other times he nibbles
a little and frequently his dinner, which
is sent to him at noon, remains I'M
touched until 8 o'clock in the afternoon.
Within the past few weeks the keep
ers in the Jail say that he has grown
so thin that his hands and arms are
no bigger than a childs. Long ago the
keepers in the Jail who have charge of
Hams dismissed the idea that he is
feigning insanity. They say that If he
is playing the insanity dodge he is the
most consistent and unvarying per-
former ever brought into that jail.
While subject to fits of depression
ever since locked up in the jail the
keepers say there were days when he
was as bright and apparently as sound
mentally as anyone. but these inter-
walls of cheerfulness have been gradu-
ally growing less until now his fits or
dependency are almost unbroken.
The keepers do not believe that he
Is trying to starve himself by refusing
to eat, as they attribute his lack of
appetite to his general condition. AS
vet the prisoners condition has not
been called to the attention of District
Attorney Frederick G. De Witt.

CANYONS SEARCHED FOR
EVIDENCES OF TRAGEDY
Wounded Saddle Horse That Strayed
Into City Sunday Is Still
Unidentified

PASADENA, March 1.-More and
more the people of Altadena and the
foothill towns are convinced that a
tragedy has occurred in the mountains
north of this city. The stray saddle
horse, caked with mud and badly cut
about the body and head, which was
brought into this city yesterday, is still
unidentified, although every liveryman
and many private owners in the city
have inspected it. 1t is a bright bay,
young and a buck-jumper of no mean
ability.
Parties are still conducting a search
along the canyon trails, and it is prob
able that an organized search of all
the canyons will be made tomorrow
The animal, according to residents In
Los Casitas, has been wandering about
the foothills since Friday morning, so
there is little hope that the rider will
be found alive, as an injured man
would hardly survive four days in the
mountains without food or shelter.
