Special agents for the industrial cen

orally understood that the industrial CEN
sus of the city would be based on the
location of Industries on December l.
1900 because the agents were appointed

Episcopal Address

Bishop E. r. Hendrix of Kansas City
began the episcopal address at is Its
Introductory, couched in the quaint phras-
eology of the olden days, struck the
interest of the vast audience, and held
it breathlessly until the close. 1t was to
the conference what a Presidents message
Is to Congress, an outline of what the ex-
ecutive forces of the church desire in
the way of laws from the legislative
branch.
1t stated that the Methodists now num-
be1 100000 souls the second largest
Protestant church in the world.
1t gave its gains in the last four years
as POI, 7A. At present over 1000 travelling
and 1000 local ministers are in the SER
vice. The church property now owned
is worth s75o0O,0cO and 100000 was spent
for churches and parsonages during the
past year.
The address treated of the foreign mis-
sions in detail and showed an immense
increase in the value of property owned
by the church in foreign countries.
The address fatty opposed the demands
of the women of the church for laymen' S
rights and representation in conferences.
After complimenting the women for their
devotion to the church, it read:
Women are now demanding the rights
of the layety and are memoralizing the
conference, telling what they want as
we'll as what they do not want" 1t went
on to say that the demands were not 'in
harmony with this church's idea of what
is woman's place in the home, in the
church and in society"

paid no heed to the protest.

GAIN IN MEMBERSHIP

Asheville, n. c., May with 325 dele
bishops on the platform. the sixteenth
quadrennial conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church south opened here this
morning. The parquette of the big audi
forum was set aside for the delegates,
two seats for each representative. one for
the delegates and one for each alternate.
The chairs behind and the balcony of the
theatre were filed with nearly thou
sand spectators.
Bishop Wilson called the conference to
order out it was nearly 10 o'clock before
he raped for order, and the delegates
were in their places. Bishop E. e Hoss
OF Nashville gave out the opening hymn
and Bishop Wilson recited the apostles
creed and offered the opening prayer
Bishops Key and Atkins read the Scrip
lures, followed by an invocation by Dr.
Frank Richardson
All of the bishops of the conference ex-
cept Bishop Fitzgerald are in attendance.
These include Bishops Hendrix, Gambler,
Wilson, Hoss, Morrison. Key and At
kins. Bishop Fitzgeralds health is too
feeble to permit him to make the journey
to Ashevile
Aside from the devotional exercises
which form a major portion of the ses-
sions, the main feature of the programme
today was the episcopal address. This
address is really the report of the house
of bishops upon the condition of the
church. together with such recommended
tons as the bishops may deem advisable.
1t is a composite address, TO which all
the bishops contribute.
Bishop Morrison In his opening prayer
thanked God that the hand of the AL
mighty had been with the church in its
fight against the evils of the land. the
whisky curse, the divorce evil and the
dissertation of the Sabbath"

his easy chair at home, smoking his
after-supper cigar and the prisoner was
sitting at the police headquarters care
fully guarded by two detectives. The
trial was carried on over the telephone.
When the judge had heard the prisoner S
confession and had announced the all
important phrase. Fifty dollars the
jolly drummer hung up the receiver with
a click, dived into the roomy recesses of
his trouser hip pocket produced the $50
and, with a goodby grin, departed.
The man had gone to a hotel on Fifth
avenue and registered under an assumed
name. He had to make a train early
this morning or he would get behind in
his schedule. He talked to Chief Bod
eker about the matter and said IL there
was any possible way to see the Judge
last night he would plead guilty Chief
Bodeker called Judge Feagin and told him
the circumstances. The judge then talked
to the prisoner and announced the YER
to him and TO the chief. The trial by tel

| istering of justice that it created much
| excitement and amusement about the
police headquarters last night.

ROVER OF blsnOp
The veto power in the bishops and their
election for lifs were strongly supported,
and any attempt to destroy their power or
limit their duties was deprecated as a dan
gerous innovation. Greater energy in for
egn fields was recommended, and Africa
was declared the battle ground of the
twentieth century. 1t was declared es-
sential that the field be entered by Meth
odists.
A decided stand was taken against in
novations in worship, such as silent invo-
cation and in chanting of the Lord S
prayer. The movement to remove the
four-year time limit on preachers SER
Tlce in a church wcs not approved. 1t
would destroy the itinerant system upon
which the church is based, according to
the bishops.
Cooperation and division of territory
with the northern Methodist church was
Endorsed. change In name was not rec
commended. but greater efforts in Sunday
school work were urged The question of
the control of Vanderbilt university at
Nashville by the church as the trustees
was left with the conference withou,
recommendation. Five additional bishops
were recommended. and it closed with q
tribute to the head. 1t took over two
hours to read it. and at the conclusion
the conference adjourned for the day aftel
referring the address to the standing com.
mttees.

Secretary Chosen

Rev A. F. Watkins of the Mississippi
conference was chosen secretary of the
general conference and a committee was
named to provide rules and order of bust
ness. Pending the report of this commit
tee, the rules of the last general confer
ence were declared In effect An attempt
TO change the committees was opposed by
many delegates. Instead of the commit
tee on temperance, it was proposed to
name one on moral and social reform
instead of one on colportage, one on gen.
eral church relations. Amendments and
substitutes poured In rapidly, but after
some debate the change which. 1t was
explained, was one in name only, was
adopted.
A motion to put one layman upon each
of the IA standing committees and to pro-
vide that Is should constitute quorum
in each committee, was lost. 1t was ex-
planned that some delegations had only
one layman. and that II he were put on
II committees he would be absent from
10. Taking it for granted that he would
attend the most important committee. his
absence from the other meetings at the
same time would deprive them of a
quorum. special committee on the lay
mems missionary movement was named
and the different conferences named their
members on the IA standing committees.
