TOWARD CHURCH UNION.
Methodist Bodies Of Chattanooga
Agree to Come Together.


Chattanooga, Jan. ia long
step was taken here to-day in the
organic union of Methodism in
America when Centenary Methodist
Episcopal church, South, and the
Methodist Episcopal church North
ern branch) agreed to consolidate
and build one great church and be
one people.
A meeting of interest to American
Methodism as a whole was held in
this city to-day at noon. Twenty
five representatives of each branch
of the church discussed the future OF
Methodism in frank fraternal way.
Separate IS Years.
Members of these two churches
which separated in 1S45 on account
of political and ecclesiastical differ
ences declared themselves one in
spirit and while recognizing loyalty
to their respective denominations,
every speaker showed himself in ia
vor of a reunion Of the Methodist
family in America. John A. Patten
and Bishop William Anderson, both
members Of the committee on or
ganic union, participated in the dis
cussion. John H. Race, president of
Chattanooga university, made a
strong appeal for union.
Consider Both Sides.
The joint conference committee of
the two Chattanooga churches, COM
posed of representatives from the
First Methodist Episcopal church
and from Centenary Methodist Epis-
copal church, South, after considera-
ton of the returns of the two
churches represented in the confer
ence, the following conclusions were
reached
Il, The two churches were plant
ed in proximity to each other, each
representing it's respective denomi-
nation and each undertaking to oc-
cupy the most advantageous position
for serving it's own constituencies
They have grown side by side in
numbers, in influence and in
strength, and the fraternal relations
between the two have constantly
grown and strengthened until they
have become one in spirit.
In Union Lies Strength.
"2. 1t is agreed by the conference
committee that in order to conserve
the resources of both churches, and
to utilize the forces of both denomi-
nations that only one church should
be constructed, and that the two de-
nominations could be made one for
the common cause of Methodism.
"3. TO the end that unity of spirit
may come into unity of service, the
committee has agreed to that all fra
ternal and kindly relations between
the two churches should be fostered
by bringing the people together in re-
ligious exercises, and by cooperating
one with the other in a very good
work.
Good Site for Fortress.
-. The site selected is an advan-
tageous and strategic location for our
common Methodism to occupy.
"5. Confidently anticipating that
the Joint commission created by the
respective general conferences OF
Methodism will speedily formulate a
plan for unification of all the Meth
odist forces in America, we are
agreed that our plans for new church
buildings should be held in allegiance
as far as consistent with the interests
involved pending the final adjust
ment of the whole problem by the
constituted authorities of the de-
nominations.

PLANT HAD DOWN TOWN
 CASTING TODAY
Health Office Phone Was
 Busy -- Factory Kindly Consents to Shut Down

The Ninth district smalP' was not removed to the center of the city to- day, as many residents thought when they were forced to breathe in air bearing nauseating disgusting smell. It was not a garbage smell, nor a sewer smell, neither was it the stench from dead fish, it was worse. The odor came from burning rubber at the plant of the Knowles Mfg. Cot in Union Square. All morning long the phone at the health department office was working overtime with requests that the source of the smell be located and abated.
 When Clerk David W. Lynch stuck his nose into the open air, he at once detected the smell. He had traced it before. Going to the Knowles plant, at his suggestion the factory was closed down for the day. The com pany is patenting a rubber compost tion for tire use, which though hard has the effect of pneumatic tires. The company recently built large smoke stack at the suggestion of the health board and also installed a force blow CT to carry away the smell. Before the plant is again in operation, 20 feet will be added to the stack.
 The smell had been prevalent be- fore today but not to such a marked degree or over such an extensive territory. This afternoon the stench had died away.

ALL CHIP IN FOR
 SUNDAY DRINKS IN
 LONG ACRE CLUB

(Continued from Page one) of the club. He said he had presided over one meeting, but couldn't recall more than one. When Prosecutor De- laney read from what purported to be record book describing Lewis presiding over several meetings, Lew is said he knew nothing about it.
 Other visitors at the clubrooms tes- tified to substantiate Kelly's state ments, to the effect that by payment of $1 to the man selected as the trea- surer for the week, one could drink as much as he wanted.
 They denied in response to cross ex- animation that crap games were play ed at the cIubroom and that visi- tor was recently trimmed to the ex- tent of $200 in such game. They also said that Kelly wasn't the man to whom they always paid the money in advance; others were chosen from week to week.
 Attorney Fallon claimed that no violation of the law existed. He de- clared that the men had a right to do just as they were doing, buying their liquor for their own use, with out any plan to sell it, and that it mattered not whether there were two, ten or a hundred men there, if the same plan is followed He admitted that such club might become a nui- sance, but that was another matter and would not come under the pros ecution that is now pending. I Prosecutor Delaney claimed that the purpose of the weekly gathering was merely to obtain intoxicants on the Sabbath was sufficient to warrant conviction
