Ames, Sept. 21.-The Des Moines
conference of the Methodist church
closed it's annual session here last night
with the announcement of the assign
ments of ministers by Bishop Berry.
The report of the committee on the
state of the church created a stir at the
afternoon session, owing to sharp
criticism of Bishop William A. Quayle.
who was accused by Emory Miller of
having refused to conduct services in
a Boone church on a certain Sunday
morning and of having delivered lee
ture on a popular novel on the after
noon of the same day at a chautauqua
where an admission fee was charged.
An attempt to strike out this portion of
the report was overwhelming voted
down. Bishop Quayle's name was not
mentioned. Commenting on the report
Bishop Berry made a vigorous assault
on features of the chautauqua circuit.
declaring that many of the shows mas
querading under the name made fa-
nous by Bishop Vincent are no better
than common vaudeville.
The following resolution, presented
by NJ. NJ. Gable, was adopted:
Whereas, because of our itinerant
system, the graves of our ministers and
families are often tar removed from the
earthly abiding place of relatives,
Therefore be it resolved that we ask
the pastor of each charge to seek out
the resting places of our departed loved
ones and care for the same and if prac-
| ticable on the Goth day of May place
flowers of loving remembrance on the
graves
