Problem of Caring for Negro Dele
oates to M. e. Conference Puzzles. g.

If the race problem can be handled
satisfactory Denver stands a good
chance of obtaining the world confer
ence of Methodists in May, 1912. The
conference usually is attended by So
600 delegates. 1t lasts from four to
nine weeks and it is estimated that
such a gathering would bring $6,O00,-
900 to the city.
Among the $4,000 delegates are 400
Negroes. The matter of obtaining the
convention hangs largely upon the ac-
commodation of the Negro represta-
tives. At the first monthly meeting
of the local hotel managers since the
summer tourist season, at the Stand
ish, last night, the possibilities of pro-
curing the big convention were pre-
sented by E. w. Merritt.
The hotel men were enthusiastically
in favor of working for the conference
and agreed to do what they could to
land it. No definite action will be
taken until later meeting.
One plan suggested for the accom-
mediation of the Negro delegates was
to set aside one hotel or to rent suit
able building for the Negroes. Mer-
ritt urged that there be no discrimina-
tion and that each hotel agree to take
a certain number, which plan, he
thought, would be more pleasing to
the church committee in charge of the
arrangements.
Several other cities are bidding for
the conference. Others have refused
to consider it owing to the race ques-
ton. At Omaha, two years ago, con-
siderable friction was caused over this
question.-The News.
