ROOSEVELT
IN ENGLAND

London, May 16.-Theodore Roose-
welt and family arrived here this
morning from Berlin. Mr.. Roosevelt
is no longer private citizen, but Am
erica's representative to the funeral
OF King Edward. He was met at the
station by Ambassador Reid and wife
and by special aides appointed by
King George. There was also a good
sized crowd present, but no demonstra
ton was made. From the residence
of Nil. Reid Mr.. Roosevelt went to call
On King George and was cordially re-
ceived. Later he went to Bucking
ham palace to pay his first respects
to the body of King Edward. After
his visit to the throne room, where
the body of the king lies, he met the
queen mother. His stay here will be
quiet. All the entertainment planned
by Ambassador Reid in honor of Mr.
Rcos cit have been cancelled.

IT IS NOW
BISHOP KILCORE
The Durham Man Receives
the Second. Highest Num-
Der of Votes

Asheville, May 16.- The committed
of twenty-five of the general confer
ence which investigated the charges
of maladmnistration preferred against
Bishop Morrison reported unanimous
ly that the papers contained only a
complaint which came under the juris-
diction of the committee on episco-
pacy and recommended no trial. The
report was filed. The committee on
episcopacy seems divided as to the
recommendation of superannuation.
The auditorium was packed when the
election of bishops was begun. The
conference voted for ALL seven at
once an the balloting continued for
thirty minutes and the tellers retired
at 10:30 to count the votes. 1t was
laborious as the vote was widely scat
tered. Every delegate voted for
whom he pleased.
DR.. Collins Denny, of Baltimore, and
DR.. ]. c. Kilgo, of Durham, were elect
ed on the first ballot. Denny received
229 votes and Kilgo 178. The next
highest was w. B. Murray, who re-
ceived 1873, w. F. McMurray 1O2, w,
R. Lambeth 80, H. M. Dubose S6.

KIRBY WILL BE
PUT ON STAND

Washington, May 16.-Frederick M.
Kirby, to whom assistant Attorney
Lawlor dictated the draft of
letter which he intended that Presi-
dent Taft should send to Secretary
Ballinger vindicating him of Claws
charges, will probably be called as~a a
witness before the Ballinger-PincAot
committee. If the COM
mittee does not of it's own voition
summon him, it is said that Attorney
Branders will ask that he be sum-
moned. 1t was pointed out today that
the letter which the president last
night sent to Senator Nelson, chair
man of the committee, setting forth
the circumstances under which the
letter vindicating Ballinger was writ
ten is a complete substantiation of the
statement made by Kirby notwith-
standing the fact that it was said at
the white house Saturday that there is
no foundation for the story. -

fort to endorse men for the lower
house. Walter Clark, jr., was nomi-
mated and seconded by number. Edi-
tor Daniels nominated E. r. Pace.
Others nominated were, r. H. Battle,
J. H. Keith, Tom Harrison, Millard
Mia1 and J. T. Judd. AS the con-
fusion clead up Walter Clark, Jr.,
insisted on his name being not con-
sidered. The final outcome was the
endorsement of R. H. Battle, E. r.
Pace and J. T. Judd.
Mial was nominated by acclamaticn.
For sheriff there was another stir.
For clerk of the court Millard
Henry Holding was nominated and
nominated, but some on charged
him with being "ringster," and there
were cries to trot out another horse.
DIR. Sorrell was nominated and some
one suggested Chairman Whitaker for
the place. Walter Clark, Jr., appeal
ed for Rand to be given a hearing.
He denied that he was a ringster and
said that the ring defeated him for
the sheriff nomination two vars ago.
The ballot developed the contest as
between Rand, Sorrell and Page
Rand winning out with "a votes and
Sorrell second with so.
G.. H. Anderson was endorsed fol
register of deeds. George T. Norwood
was endorsed for treasurer after Raj
eigh declined to name the candidate
At intervals as the endorsements were
being made there we're suggestions
that some county officers might be
endorsed to advantage, but each time
there were general cries of "a clear
sweep" So the nominations went
straight down the line. The mer
endorsed as commissioners were DR.
j. M. Bell, of Wakefield, B. S. Frank
lin, of Swift Creek, and I. H. Lynne, O.
Oak Grove. 1t was almost 5 O'Clock
when the meeting adjourned.

Raleigh, May 16.-Next Wednesday,
May 1S, is the day on which the bids
for the $s.43O.00O refunding bond issue

Sensations in Methodist Conference.

Asheville, May 16.-The storm that
/ predicted a few days ago has broken
upon the general conference. Todays
session was of the sensational order.
The first was the Vanderbilt universi-
ty matter, discussion of which re-
suited in the conference adopting a
resolution calling the board of trus-
tees to come to this city for a COM
plete hearing of all questions at issue
on next Wednesday. The proposition
was strenuously fought, but an ad-
mirably conducted movement, headed
by Judge O'Rear, of Kentucky, the
side, known as the church side, won.
The other sensation was sprung
when charges we're made against
Bishop H. G. Morrison for maladmin-
istration, prepared and filed by DIR.
W. F. Packard, of Texas. The exact
nature of the charges are not made
public, but it is said the bishops NOR
al character is not involved. Similar
charges are contained in a commune
cation from Clay Street church, Rich
mond.
After much discussion today an i'm
vestigation of the charges was de-
cided upon, and upon order of the
conferenc Bishop Gambler appointed
the following committee to investigate
and report to the conference whether
a trial shall be deemed necessary.
All the members of this committee
are clerical delegates: w. M. Cox
(chairman), J. H. Obriant, T. J. Pret-
lyman, J. NJ Barcus, J.. J. N. Kenney,
j. W. B1ackard, j. D. Simpson, B. P.

T. L. Ellis, W. T. Mcclure, J. c. Reed,

afternoon and began the hearing.

TRUST INFLUENCES DEPRESS

NEW YORK, April 12.-The action of
the stock market today was watched
with curiosity and some anxiety for in
dications of the wider effects of yester-
days action of the supreme court and
the effect it will have in delaying the
final settlement of the antitrust law
cases
1t was evident that the violent rise in
prices Yesterday had brought into the
market large selling orders both Tor
home and foreign account. Slde Dy
side with these was an influx Of FUR
ther buying orders The latter were
believed to be largely for the short ac-
count the bears becoming alarmed over
the sudden rise of prices.
The toning down of the first eHects
of the supreme court s action was due
to the more conservative view taken or
its effect by the financial and business
community at large than by the stock
market element.
1t is believed every large corporation
will feel itself prescribed in its plans
and in the scope of its activities until
the questions at issue in the antitrust
cases shall be definitely settled. An
early decision would have been pre-
ferred. therefore, to the indefinite post
ponement involved in the rehearlng OF
the cases.
Other news developments were OF
mixed effect The resort to arbitration
of the parties to the New York Central
wage dispute was connrmatory of the
confidence that labor troubles would
find a settlement without widespread
strikes this year
The prospects of agreements IN the
soft coal mining controversies deepened
this conviction.
The public announcements of the eN-
ecutiye heads of the United states steel
corporation and the Amalgamated cop
per company, protesting satisfaction
with trade conditions, seemed to be
taken with reserve.
President Ryan's hopeful analysis OF
the conner trade conditions encountered
the falling price of copper metal in that
market, and Chairman Gary's incl
dental reference to the falling off IN
untitled orders on hand to be shown
at the beginning of the new quarter
received as much attention as his claim
for a rising scale of orders in the cur
rent business of the corporation.
There was perceptible a moderated
confidence in predictions of an Increase
in the next dividend on United States
steel.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales
par value, S1,677,OOO-
United states bonds were unchanged
