MErHODIsTs TAKE STAND.

Adopting by acclsmaiion the report
submitted by DR.. James Cannon, chair
man of the committee appointed to con-
fer with the trustees, the Methodist
Conference Of Virginia In Newport News
Yesterday took decided stand in the
Randolph Macon. Carnegie foundation
controversy. The report OF several thous'
aud words embOdies resolutions which
declare that the Rsndolph-Macon Col
ege is an institution of the Methodist
Church, that If the trustees rescrind or
amend the resolution passed in June rec
ogiDz,ug the conferences right to
approve the election Of members of the
board, all funds that may be contributed
by the conference to the support OF the
institution shall be returned, and calling
upon the trustees to take steps toward
having the college charter amended to
put into effect the resolution.
This report was adopted after a long
aud heated discussion las log from early
morning until lsst night, with an inter-
mission at noon. 1t Was intended that
only sessions OF the conference yesterday
morning be held, bat it was necessary to
remain In session yesterday afternoon to
dispose OF this matter.
Cannon led the fight for the report,
supported BY Rev. w. A. Christian
aud other Influential ministers OF the
conference. Mr.. ]. p. PettyjOhD, OF
Lynchburg, led the fight for the trus.
tees, q msjority OF whom have said they
do not intend 10 be bound BY the June
resolution If they decide that the de-
mands OF the conference cannot be COM
piled with without violation of their
oath OF office.
The trustees objected strongly to
the committees report, but the minis
tiers prevailed 10 the end, and the senli.
ment OF the body was so strongly In
favor OF demanding that the authority
OF the church over the college be IS.
serted that the report was adopted with
ont a roll call.
The trustees are reticent about what
their attitude will be in the future. 1t
is not thought, however, that the fight
is over. Il will be brought up when
the B,ltimoEe Conference meets regard
less Of what the trustees may do. Prsc-
tically no other business Was disposed of
yesterday.
Today the temperance question will
be taken up. Last night temperance

To Defend Roosevelt.

New York, Nov. 12-Friends Of
former President Theodore Roosevelt
are today preparing to actively fight
n mat they declare to be a dabolical plot
20 discredit his administration. They
openly assert that the giant monopolis'
tic interests Of the country-alsfmed as
never before by the growth Of sentiment
for Roosevelt which, starting with the
first speech made by President Taft In
the west endorsing the new tariff bill
and defending Senator Aldrich against
the assaults Of the progressive republi-
cans, followed the president throughout
his sixteen thousand mile trip and today
is in evidence 10 every section OF the
country, plan to check it by trying to
prove that Roosevelt protected the sugar
trust, the tobacco irnst, and the powder
monopoly, through bis attorney general,
Charles jerome BJnspsrte.
Finance and politics are being well
mixed, according to Roosevelt's friends.
Every big monopoly which Was asssiled
by Roosevelt, they assert loudly, ia con-
cerned In an attempt to check the Roose'
welt movement at once. Money is no
object, declare the friends OF the former
president, and friendships and business
alliances Of years standing are to be
sacrificed TO thoroughly discredit, II pos
sible, the strenuous former presi dent.
According to the men who are plsu-
ming to take RoOsevelfs part until be
gets back TO tight bis own battles, the
plan of the 'interests" is deeply laid.
There is no love in the "street" for the
sugsr trust. 1t has always been too
much OF q close corporation 90 it is to
be sacrificed. Everything known about
1t is to be put st the disposal OF Attor-
neg Gsnersl Wickersham 30 that the
Taft administration shall have credit
for dissOlving it.
If that is not sufficient the tobacco
trust and the powder trust are to 60.
They, too, are close corporations, sort
of family affairs, and their dissolution
would hit noue of the big financial
powers excepting Thomas F. Ryan, and
he has already announced that be 10 re-
firing from business.

has nothing to say in regard to the sugar
