That more serious results may de

course OF the bullet Is not certain,
but In case the bone was touched an

Asheville. May 13.-Monday Is the
date finally fixed for beginning ba,A-
loting on bishops at the general con-
ference. of the Methodist church,
south.
Anent Bishop Morrison.
A unique situation has arisen in
the Methodist general conference
here. in which Bishop II. C. Morri-
son is the dominant figure. IL he
does not follow the example OF Bish-
op Joseph s. Key. and ask the con-
ference to place him on the retired
list, the conference itself will be
asked by one of its committee to
grant him the superannuate rela-
tion. There will be two reports
from the committee on episcopacy
on this matter, the majority fav-
oring his retirement, and the min
ority opposing it. Never before in
the history of the church has
bishop gone counter to the wishes
of this committee, and IL his case
comes before the conference 1t is
doubtful If any decision will be al
lowed.
A few nights ago the committee
on episcopacy voted to superannuate
Bishop Morrison, and he went be-
fore them and secured reconsidera-
tion. Then there arose a question
of constitutional law. The commit
tees action was final and some hold
irrevocable. A reconsideration did
not place him on the list of active
bishops. II was necessary. In the
opinion of some ecclesiastical law
yers. for the conference to restore
him to that condition. The COM
mittee did not wish the case to 60
before the conference. An ugly
controversy might arise. So an ef-
fort has been made to induce the
bishop to request superannuation,
but without avail.
VIII Elect Seven Bishops.
Seven bishops will be elected. II
the recommendations OF the COM
mittee are carried out. The con-
ference may reduce the number to
six. 1t will hardly raise 1t to eight.
There are only four or five men of
CONSPICUOUS and distinguished per-
sonality known throughout the
church and on the lips of every one
Tor the Nffice of bishop.
This MAKES .ha problem all the
greater to solve. for a s,rhop holds
his office for life. and the church
wants only its most capable men in
the office.
Union of all the negro Methodist
churches in America is a possibility
of the near future. II is now under
| consideration, as was announced
this morning by Rev. George c. Gle
ment, the fraternal delegate from
the A. NJ. Z. Zion church. The
Southern Methodist church will lend
it's aid to the plan. which, II con-
summated, will make the United
church the largest body OF negro
Christians in the world.
