MAY HAVE seven
OR Eight BISHOPS
Probable That the Conference Now in
Session at AsheviIle May increase
the Number Recommended.
(By Associated Press.l

Asheville, n. c., May 6.-Instead of
the five OF six bishops which the col
lege of bishops recommended that the
duadrennial conference of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church South, select, it
seems not improbable that seven or
eight will be chosen. A sentiment
among the delegates is getting in ia
vor of two missionary bishops, one for
the Orient, the other two to look af-
ter the affairs in Central and South
/ America The men oftenest mention
ed are DR.. Walter R. Lambuth, OF
Nashville, for the Orient, and Rev. II
| C. Tucker, of Rio Janerio, for South
| America.
The latter has been in that field fol
2S years, and made a stirring address
to the conference this afternoon, urg
ing a more earnest effort TO evangel
ize the Latin countries to the South o.
us. While presumably there are NJ
candidates for the office of bishop il
the Methodist church there is nothing
in the practice of the church to pre-
vent the friends of able ministers from
conducting an energetic campaign TO
their favorites That is being don
now, and two-score or more name
have been mentioned. 1t is imposs
BILE to predict the result, but two me
seem to be more likely than other
of the selection. These are DR.. j.
Kilgo, president of Trinity Colleg
Durham, n. c.. and Or. Collins DEM

CENSUS Meeting
Held LAST night
Plans For Assisting The Enumerators
Are Expected to Result in Much
Benefit For Hattiesburg.

The mass meetings held in the va
rious wards last night for the pur- |
pose of assisting the census enumera-
tors to obtain a complete enumera-
ton of citizens of Hattiesburg, re-
suited in the formulation of plans
which are expected to accomplish the
desired results.
The meeting at the city hall was
presidcd over by Prof. F. B. Wood
ley and Prof. W. |. Thames, and was
well attended. The object of the
gathering was explained by these
gentlemen, after which the question
of the best method to adopt in order
to accomplish the desired result was
discussed Many good suggestions
were offered, and it was finally de-
cided to appoint several committees
TO canvas the immediate communities
of the different members so as to OBJ
tain list of those who had been
skipped by the enumerators.
In the Fourth Ward Mayor Donald
and Capt A. Farley presided over
the meeting of colored people, and
similar policy was adopted. The at
tendance was very gratifying, it is
said, and several prominent colored
people manifested desire to assist
in every way possible to get com
plete enumeration of all negroes in
the city. 1t was stated that numbers
of negroes had lodged the enumera
tors because they were thought to be
. street tax collectors.
Several committees were appointed
, to hunt these dodgers and get thei
enumeration and for this purpos
members of the various committee
: will be supplied with printed blanks
: in order that their work may be sin
plified to the greatest possible exten
J. No meeting was held at the couf
house. only few citizens appearin
. in response to the call of the alderme
:. from the First Ward.

Sums and One for $4,875, and Got
Away With the Coin.

Boston. May 6.-Operat1ons OF
clever forger, who secured almost
$4,000 in cash, have just been revealed
to the Boston police authorities by
the officials of the National Shawmut
Bank, which lost that sum through
bogus checks. Three checks, two for
small sums, and the third calling tor
s4,S75, were used by a man who gave
his name as Samuel Cohen They
all bore the alleged signature of Allen
Arnold head of the banking and pro
kerage firm of Allen Arnold & Co.
Cohen" had previously transacted
small amount of business with the
brokerage firm and was slightly known
at the bank, so that the checks were
readily cashed.
The forgeries were committed oVei
two weeks ago, but were not discover
ed until this week.
The bank was the only loser ant
the sum was quickly made good b!

Washington, May 6.-Alleged frauds
in Alabama, coming, it is believed,
within the scope of the bankruptcy
law, have been receiving attention at
the hands of Attorney General Wick
ersham. Information indicated vio-
lations of the law somewhat similar
in practice to the jewelry cases Tor
which a number of persons in Ala
bama and Texas were recently ar
rested, but differing in the classes OF
merchandise traded in. An investi-
CATION will be made with view to
the prosecution of the guilty parties
The attorney General has given At
torney Ambrecht full authority to pro-
ceed in the matter, promising him all
the necessary assistance. Some years
ago, it was said at the Department
of Justice today, there existed situa-
ton in Alabama regarding furniture
shipments, similar in many respects
to that unearthed by the Government
in the jewelry bankruptcy frauds
The department is trying to secure
legislation giving its agents the right
of free access to the books of trus
tees and referees in bankruptcy pro
ceedings, thus materially strengthen
ing the hands of the legal officers o
the administration in discovering vic
lations of law.
