Several months ago at the annual con-
ference of the Southern Methodists in
Baltimore Bishop Wilson began casting
his eye over the ministers under his
charge in the hope Of locating a suitable
man to take up the mission work In the
northwestern part of the Capital City.
Finally he decided that Rev. Mr.. Jeffries
was the right minister for the place, and
lie asked him to take up the work.
The pastor had previously had mueh ex-
perience in organizing congregations. hav-
ing been the leading figure in the organ
ization of st. Pauls Methodist congre-
cation some years ago, and at once agreed
to take up the work.
1t is planned to carry the work forward
with dispatch and arrange to build
chapel in the section in as short time as
possible. With the completion OF the
proposed new church the Southern Meth
odists will be represented in all parts Of
the city. the denomination having veri-
table chain of churches extending to the
four corners of the city. with the Mount
Vernon Place Chuch i'll the center.
For some time past the Southern Meth
odists residing IN the Columbia Heights
section have declared that the denomina-
ton should begin the establishment OF
a congregation in the section so that they
would not have to travel to the center OF
the city 10 attend the Mount Vernon
Place Church.
Bishop Wilson was of the opinion tl.at
a church should be established IN the
section to meet the .ong-felt want, but
as Rev. Mr.. Jeffries was actively en-
gagged in a pastorate in Virginia the prel-
ate waited until the annual conference
before asking the pastor TO take up the
work.
AT the present time many Southern
Method!sts residing i'll the northwest sec
tion of the city. especially in the subur-
ban sections. who have not as yet decid-
ed TO affiliate with the new congregation
are debating on the question. Others
who are discussing the question are many
who have affiliated with other churches
on Columbia Heights awaiting the coming
of a Southern Methodist congregation to
the section. From this source alone IL is
expected there will be A number Of addi-
tons TO the new congregation.

URGES FOREIGN BANK SYSTEM.
Publisher Submits International Clear
ings Plan to President.

Washington. Dee. 5.-A system Of inter-
national clearings between the proposed
postal savings and other banks in this
country and those abroad was urged on
President Taft Yesterday by Louis
Schwartz. publisher OF the "Finanz ind
Hsndelsrsvue." Of Vienna and Berlin.
The President exhibited much interest in
the subject. and requested his visitor TO
submit facts regarding the system. as Mr..
SchVsrZ declared II TO be already in sue
cessful operation among the postal savings
bankers Of Austria. Germany, England,
France. Italy and Switzerland. The idea,
as he explained il. is To relieve such banks
from the task OF RENTING cash from one
branch 10 another. and To depend as tar as
the balances permit on the exchange Of
cheeks like clearing house notes. In that
manner the currency. he declared. would
be kept in active circulation in the various
communities where deposited. instead OF
being practically withdrawn from use while
IN transit from one branch bank to an
other. or 70 a central bank.
Remarkable success is said by Mr.
Schwartz TO have attended the introduce
ton OF this system in Europe. and partie-
ularly In Austria Hungary. The great sue
cess attending the domestic use of the sys-
TEN. Mr. Schwartz told the President. en-
cOuf aged the Austrian government TO ex-
tend its operations 70 other countries and
now by special conventions money. OF.
rather credit, may be exchanged between
the European countries.

There is curious unanimity of opinion
among members Of Congress from all sec
tions of the country that the Presidents
recent trip accomplished no affirmative
good TO Mr.. Taft or 10 his party. A few
there are who believe that the trip accom-
plished some negative benefit. These ex-
plain that il was the purpose Of the TN
surgents' of both houses to hold meetings
in their various sections at which to make
emphatic protests against the Payne tariff
bill. They say people came hundreds Of
miles 10 see and hear the President, and
having done so, decided that they had de-
voted enough time 10 politics for one sum-
mer- With the Presidents departure they
returned TO their various avocations and
turned deaf ear to every suggestion that
they attend meetings to protest against the
tariff bill. In this way. il is explained. the
trip effectually checked a movement which
must otherwise lave worked serious in
jury 10 the party-a7 injury which il might
have been impossible TO overcome before
the elections OF next fall. Others-and they
seem to be in the ma jority-insist that the
trip produced little effect for good or i'll
and that the whole future OF this admins
trstion hangs in the balance. but win be
decided by the session Of Congress which
begins tomorrow.
