a MANNED Woman's Name.

Mrs, Edith S Morrill,, president Of
the Lake View Woman's club, is
quoted as saying that no Chicago
woman signs or uses her husband :
initials, preferring to use her own,
retaining her name before marriage
HI connection with her husband s
name Mrs Raymond Robins. also
Chicago woman. says that she
thinks It simplifies matters to use her
husbands initials only. There seems
to be a wide difference Of opinion on
the subject. OF course, a woman in
personal letter signs her Christian
name. but formally she Is generally
known by her husbands name only.

band of men whose hearts God has
touched"
Just prior to the adjournment Bis
hop Berry extended his greetings to
the conference in an informal man
ner He states in substance that
while ne was exceedingly glad to be
present it had been by no choice of
his as the assignments are all made
without the consultation of the bis
hops. He went on to detail the man
ner in which the announcements are
made to the bishops and incidentally
brought out the fact that the pastors
were not the only ones to be con
fronted with surprises. Bishop Berry
however. announced that there would
be q radical deviation from the usual
custom in the assignment of pastors
at this convention. He opposed con-
gregationalism in the selection of
pastors, saying that he did not believe
any congregation or quarterly con
ference had any business to issue an
official call for any pastor. He said
it would not be recognized by this
conference. This bishop said that in
some conferences that a bishop was
looked upon as sort of ratifying
committee. The term of every
preacher in this conference has now
expired as well as the district super
intendents and while he did not want
to keep anybody on the anxious seat
the field was open. He said that he
had always kept open shop as it
might be crudely stated, everything
would be open and above board.
There would be no secrets and while
the announcements of the changes
will not be made until Monday, any
pastor will be welcome to know any
thing about the business of the cabi-
net every day. He assured the mem
bers there would be no painful sur
prises at this conference as no Metho-
dist preacher should be subjected to
/ the suspense of not knowing his flu
| ture.
The words of the bishop brought
forth tremendous applause and at the
conclusion words of commentator
were expressed and vote of thanks
was accored the bishop.

BIG DISTILLERY
IS SEIZED BY
UNCLE SAM
One of the Largest Plants in
Maryland
5000 BARRELS OF WHlSKEY
Company is Charged With Defrauding
Government of Internal Rev
enue Receipts.

Washington. April 14.-As a result
of an investigation into charges OF
violation of the internal revenue law,
John G.. Capers, commissioner of In
ternal revenue. issued formal instruc-
tions yesterday to Collector p. l..
Goldsborough, at Baltimore, directing
him to seize the Carroll Springs Dis
tillery company's plant. one of the
largest registered grain distilleries in
Maryland.
The seizure, which will involve the
government taking possession of near
" 5000 barrels OF whisky, is based
upon a long examination which has
been under the personal direction of
Commissioner Capers, who himself
visited the establishment about three
months ago, when the alleged viola
lions were brought TO his attention
After his investigation Revenue
Agent Perkins was directed to detail
special gaugers and inspectors to
make a careful investigation for an
extended period. This investigation
lasted nearly three months. the re-
suit being, it is alleged, that violations
of the law were found sufficient to
cause the forfeiture of the plant, its
contents and the contents of the
warehouses
Commissioner Capers declined TO
give any of the details as to the
charges of fraud, but 1t is understood
that they involve discoveries of new
whisky in old barrels, the substitu-
ton of new whiskey for older whiskey
and the removal of ii without the pay
ment of one dollar and ten cents a
gallon to the government; the substi-
tuition of gin for whiskey in some On
stances and in some of the packages
excessive vantage and similar evil
dence that deprived the government
of it's revenues on the product OF the
distilery.
