The Nashville globe. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1906-193?, 1910-05-06

The largest crowd of c. M. Els that
has ever passed through Nashville
going to general, or quadrennial,
conference passed through Monday
night. They came from West Ten.
nessee, Texas, Missouri, Illinois and
Kentucky. They were met at the
station by an enthusiastic following
OF their connection and friends who
went down to see them off to their
field of labor. There were three
special cars, sleeper, chair car and
a day coach. In the crowd of posi-
bly, two hundred, who belong to the
G. M. e. connection there were
some general officers and some aspi-
rants for high positions in the con-
nection. They arrived at S:95, re-
naming in Nashville until something
after 10 p. m. While here, they
were the recipients of much atten-
tion. They were served with lunch
in the waiting-room of the Union Sta
tion. In the delegation there were
from Texas Drs. j. w. Mckinney,
Presiding Elder of Fort Worth DIS
trict; ]. W. Lewis, w. G. Jones, Prof.
S. w. Broome, the President of Phil
lips University; Col. w. A. Redwine,
Drs. w. F. Jamison, VIM. Brooks, w.
F. Warren, N. Moore, M. S. Griffin,
w. B. West, Secretary of Missions;
Prof. j. B. A. Prather, DR.. A. H.
Hughes, Presiding ElddF; ]. w. Flem-
mings, Presiding Elderi and DR.. ]. E.
McDade. From Kentucky there were
such prominent men as Drs L. H.
Brown, T. H. Copeland, Presiding FL
der; DR.. l. H. Jones, w. P. Pipkins,
P. j. Coleman and Prof. w. T.
Thompson. While Illinois and Mis-
souri, sent in Drs. ]. A. Winter, of st.
Louis, with A. H. Hawkins. From
West Tennessee there came DR.. r
T. Brown, wife, son and daughter
They were joined here by Dr. T. ].
Moppins, pastor of Capers Chapel,
Bishop G. H. Phillips, the presiding
Bishop of this district, together with
a number of ministers and the presid-
ing elders DR.. C. H. Phillips, Jr,
leader of the Tennessee delegation,
came in from Tyler, Tex, with Mrs.
Phillips. There seemed to be suffici-
ent enthusiasm in the delegation to
warrant a splendid session of the
conference.
AS was expected, much talk about
the success of certain candidates for
the bishopric was indulged in. In
this delegation were two popular
aspirants in the persons of DR.. R. T.
Brown, who is serving his third term
as editor of the Christian Index at
Jackson, Tennessee, and j. w. Nc
Kinney, the Presiding Elder of the
Fort Worth District. Both are we'll
known and are apparently working
in harmony with each other for
these high honors. 1t was not
learned by the Globe representative,
who personally met large number
of these delegates, just who the can
didates for the general offices were,
but sufficient information was picked
up throwing light on three more can,
didates for the bishopric, namely, N
c. Cleaves, of North Carolina; N. F.
Haygood, of Georgia, and M. F. Jami
son, of Texas. It was learned that
one of this trio had goodly follow
ing and would possibly make it in
teresting for the other trio that has
been mentioned from time to time
One of the we'll informed delegates
declared that he did not know but
that the conference would limit the
Bishops to be elected to one. He

ness. Justice Gummerc held that the

Answering Calls. (

East Orange firemen have had a busy
time of it since Saturday, most or the
alarms being in response to calls from
houses where householders attempted
to thaw out frozen pipes. In most
cases the damage was slight.
Tho first fire OH Saturday was III the
homo of George r. Pond at William
and Washington streets, where Robert
d. Treat, former United States treas
urer, lived. The blaze was discovered
by Assistant Chief Flynn on his way
homo 10 supper. After sending IN the
alarm he hurried to the house n
found Mr.. Pond trying to e~xtinSuisn
the blaze. His hands were burned IN
the attempt. The damage was s2O).
1t is thought children playing with
matches near the couch caused the IRE.
The awning at the store of William II
Plumley caught fire and caused con-
siderable excitement.
The department was summoned to
the home of the Rev. John Fox, of Ga
Carleton street, yesterday. Thawing
out pipes caused a slight fire.
Early today the fremen extinguished
O chimney fire at the home of Mrs.
Robert w. H~awkesworth, in Main
street. The thawing out of pipes was
also the cause of the blaze at the
home Of Robert Harrison. of 276 Elm
wood avenue. today. Last night the
1remen were called to q Washington
street for the same reason.

HEALTH
BOARD TO ACT
AGAINST SP|TTERS
Will Make Expectoration on
Streets and Public Places
Punishable. ;

The Kearny authorities soon expect
to rate expectorators as punishable Of
Tenders. The habit of splitting upon the
sidewalks of Kearny has incensed MEM
bers of the Board of Health to such an
extent that it is quite certain thai some
measures will be considered at the next
meeting of the board to p~enalize tho
offenders.
There Is a provision in the towns
sanitary code against ,spittingaon side
walks, but 1t, has been more honored
In the breach than in the observance.
Moreover. while sideu'alk expectora-
lion is clearly defined as IAN ofYense
against public health there Is no PEN
atty in the ordinance.
The matter was to lave been con-
sidered at the board meeting last
Thursday night. but so many other
questions came up that it was over
looked. However. some members o.
the board say tina, it will not be me-
elected at the next meeting, and that
absurd condition OF on ordinance
against splitting having no penalty will
be promptly set right.

EDISON TRYING TO
INVENT TALKING
PICTURE MACHINE
Plans to Combine Motion Views
and PhOnograpfi in Edu~
cational Purpose.

Thomas \. Edison Is now planning
an. apparatus for introducing motion
pictures and the monograph into the
schoolroom that will be of great edu-
cational value. Mr.. Edison's idea is to
combine the picture machine with the
photograph. He is certain that this
arrangement will create greater inter-
est In the studies of school children,
especially history, geography and in
dustrial work.
Color photography will be used in
the manufacture of the picture films
and the exact colors of nature will be
gotten in this way, making the COM
binatiop machine of great value in the
study of botany. A practical demon
stration of the new apparatus will be
given the latter part of this month
before the Board of Education of New
York city. =
Mr.. Edison's intention is to start
work at once putting in pictures,
poems and works by celebrated au-
thors. History. geography and in
dustrial work will be among the sub
jects that will be taught at first. The
great wizard is enthusiastic yer this
machine and believes hat there Is a
great future before it. The possibilities
OF the moving pictures are unlimited
Mr.. Edison believes, and thinks that
within a short time they will be per-
fected in such q way rs to create the
illusion that the action is taking place
before the eyes of the audience.

Napier & Mitchell Company
Claims Men Violated
Agreement.

Pending a settlement With the local
board of officers about 125 men en-
ployed by the Napier & Mitchell Hat
Manufacturing Company, of Belleville.
will return tc work tomorrow morning.
George f. Napier, of the hating firm,
will attempt to settle the dispute.
The men vent out on strike for an
increase of 8 per cent in their wages.
Two strikes occurred in the factory last
week. In one about 1875 men went out,
claiming that. where they worked there
was too much steam from the boilers.
The matters declared that this
condition was. ~unsanitary and de-
manded Improvement. This morning
all these men resumed work, notwith-
standing the fact that the firm made
no change in the boilers. The menathat
are out for an increase of wages held
a meeting today at Michel's Hall, 66
South Orange avenue, to discuss tie
situation.
George F. Napier, president of the
firm, said today that as far as he was
concerned the increase would not be
granted, and ne also stated that the
strikers had violated their own bylaws
and rules in pursuing the coufse they
have in the matter.
Il was in telephone communication
with the executive committee OF the
United Hatters of North America Sat-
urday," he said, land that committee
assured me that the 125 men who are
out on strike for more pay would re-
turn to WORN this morning, but they
have not returned as yet.
THE strikers came and obtained their
money due them last Saturday. and no
tilted me that they were going to hold
Il meeting today to consider the matter.
THE constitution OF the local hatters
says that in tho event of any grievance
between the men and IL firm hat the
national board should be consulted be-
fore any action is taken.
LAS far as ! am concerned, the In
crease Will not be granted, and no set
tlenlent will be reached until the men
resume work"
1t was learned today that the local
matters are DESTROYS of settling the mat
ter between themselves, and notified
Mr.. Napier to that effect. He replied
that he had placed the entire matter in
the hands of John A. Moffitt, president
of the United Hatters of North Amer-
lea. and was awaiting a reply.
Tie local board then communicated
with Mr.. Moffitt, and told him of their
attitude. Mr.. Mofitt said that he would
render a decision today.
The strikers will resume work tomor-
row morning. pending a settlement.
A message was received yer the
telephone by the strikers in session
today from Mr.. Moffitt, to. the effect
that Mr.. Napier was "out of the city"
and would not return until Thursday.
AS a result of this information a meet
ing was Immediately called to con-
slider what action should be taken.
1t was decided to have the strikers re-
turn to work tomorrow morning. The
local board will take up the question OF
a settlement with Mr., Napier Thursday.
whe' he returns.
The local board communicated with
Mr.. Moftitt. The latter found that
Mr.. Napier had left the city and would
not return until Thursday. It was
then decided to return to work to-
morrow, pending a settlement.
