Special to the Globe:
The East Tennessee Synod of the
Presbyterian Church convened here
at Mt. Tabor Church Oct. 18th, and
continued until Sunday night, 22nd.
There was quite a large delegation,
with many sections of the country
represented. At 1880 p. N. Thursday
the Synod was called to order by the
moderator, Rev. C. 3. Dusenberry, OF
Asheville, NJ c., who preached the in
troductory sermon. Rev. d. S. Col
lier, pastor of the local church, read
the report of the committee on ar
rangements. At 11:30 a. IN. Friday
there was a strmon by Rev. H. L.
Peterson, A. NJ, of Memphis, Tenn.
At 7:30p. m. Rev. ]. w Malloy (white)
of the First Presbyterian Church,
Columbia, Tenn, by invitation OF
Rev. Collier made an address on the
Importance of Home Training Of the
Child for the Church" His remarks
along this line were very appropriate.
Mr.. Craig, who has travelled around
the world in the interest of the
church, made a very interesting talk
on the progress that is being made
in the foreign fields by the mission
aries, both Intellectually and spirit
ually. At 9 p. m. Rev G. T. billiard,
d. D., superintendent Of the Sunday
school work for the colored people
in the South, spoke very ably and in
terestingly on the Condition of the
Negro, His Position, His Progress,
His Opportunities and How TO Retter
These Conditions" In part, DR.. Dill
lard said that "the Negro was great
factor, for he is the only race that
can stand up and look he white man
in the face;" in his comparison he
describe the Negro as pippln by the
side OF q crabapple tree" and says,
because of the sourness of the crab
apple no one ever trouples them; but
the pippin being sweet, everybody
wants them and it is with the Negro
today because of his importance as a
mighty factori this country every
body is after him, and with all OF
the figuring and figuring after him,
regardless of what the result may be,
the Negro still continues to progress"
With reference to the estimation OF
the Negroes standing, he said, "the
white man too often judges the Ne
, gro at a l1,g distance, ana generally
passed judgment on him before any
; evidence was reached" DR.. billiard
, Is quite a speaker, and the freedom
: with which he uses his words and
: the manner of his delivery are evt
= dence that he is quite a profound
!, thinker.

ington's personal attorney, Willard H..
Smith, was present as consulting at
torney.
Ulrich has continued to have this
case continued each time it has been
called for trial. hoping that DR.. Wash
ington would drop the prosecution;
to-day, through his counsel, he again
pleaded for delay, claiming that he
had not been able to get his witnesses
into court-this despite the fact that
he has had seven months to do so.
District Attorney Smith opposed the
motion, claiming that Ulrich had nc
witnesses, and that his plea for delay
was simply an effort to avoid the con
sequences of his brutal and uncalled
for assault The judges decided they
would give him one more chance, and
have set the case down for trial Mon
? day, November g. Dr. Washington
l has notified the District Attorneys of
fee that he will cancel all the
engagements he has for Wisconsin
and the West, made long since, so al
, to be in court and prosecute Ulrich.
! The assault occurred several months
ago, and Ulrich at the time told con
l Trajectory stories of what led to it
To the police he said that he had ia

: but to the reporters he said that DR.
. Washington had insulted Mrs. Ulrich

that it will be necessary for encour-
agement to he given to every citizen
in the bounds of this corporation. The
best of feeling prevails among the
white and black people here and every
one is showing the disposition to do
unto his brother as he would be done
by. 1t is believed that within the
next few years Nashville will outrank
any city in lie South, for with the
spirit of brotherly interest existing
everywhere it is absolutely impossible
to thwart that growth that comes to
any community where all the citizens
are pulling in the same direction.

BISHOP TYREE RETURNS TO
TEXAS.

Bishop Evans Tyree left the city
Monday night for his field of labor
in Texas to complete his quadrennial
work. On the eve of his departure
he expressed himself to a Globe rep
resentative as hopeful of good
years work. He cited that the
churches in the Lone Star State that
are of the African Methodist con-
nection had raised ten thousand and
some odd dollars and cents for edu-
cation This money goes to Paul
Quinn College at Waco, Texas, which
is rapidly forging to the front among
the schools Of the African Methodist
church. 1t is very probable that the
next General Conference, which con-
venes in Kansas City in May will
transfer Bishop Tyree to some other
district as he has spent eight years
already in Texas. The people there,
however, will be glad to have him re-
turn. 1t is not known Just where he
will be sent. However, the people of
Texas are very proud of their leader
and gladly receive him for the third
uuardrennial if the General Confer
ence should see fit to send him back.

CONFERENCE
TODAY IS
FINAL

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
Los ANGELES, Aug. 81. -
Pessimism holds full sway today
I'm the camp of the union labor
leaders here. They do not believe
that the conference of representa-
tives Of various labor crafts with
General Manager Kruttschnitt will
prevent strike and predict a gem
eral walkout before the end of
the week on all of the Hartman
lines west of the Mississippi river.
CHICAGO, Aug. 3f.--A final
conference is scheduled to be held
here this afternoon between the
of nine railroad
shop unions on one side and Vice
President Park and Assistant
General Manager Foley of the Il
linois Central on the other. II is
announced that President Mark
ham may participate in the
Railroad officials specified to-
day that 1t will be a meeting of
of the separate
unions and not as officers of the
federation.
It is reported that Park called
the increased pay demands exorbi-
tant and said that he would not
recognize the federation.
A strike is believed to be i'm
pending.

HansIaw's sensation was height

a man similar to the one described
by Hanshaw on the night of the
murder within a mile of the scene.
The man carried a single barreied
shotgun ON his shoulder and wore
a slouch hat.

Arizona and Massachusetts, Recalls

Those who were so swift TO condemn the Ari-
zonians for framing constitution with provision in
it for the recall by popular vote of all officers incud
ing the Judiciary, naturally surprised and silent
when told that most states already have drastic
method of removing judges
How the critics would have ragged if the Ari-
zonians had left the power ofrecal to its governor
and egislature
Yet in Massachusetts, the governor and council
and majority of the legislature can remove judge
merely petition. Charges need not be proved, nor
even preferred.
Not only is that the law but it has been enforced
on more than one occasion. Carefully considered,
the Arizona plan is not quite radical as the Massa
chusetts.-From the conservative old Boston Globe

DEATH
COMMISSIONER BLAMEs ENGI-
NEERING COMPANY FOR FA-
tai ACCIDENT AT nth ST.
BRIDGE YESTERDAY.

1.-THE reason for these ac-
cidents is the company doing
the work has not provided
proper equipment. They have
four men in the hospital now
and one was killed yesterday.
We ought to demand proper
equipment. At this rate by
the time the job is done half
the men working on 1t will
be killed off,"
Such was the comment of Com
missioner Woods this morning
before the council on the acci-
dents that have happened on the
Eleventh street bridge.
The council agreed With him
and he was left to notify the con-
tractor. No liability attaches to
the city and the contractor has
protected himself with insurance.
The second serious accident In
the construction of the new bridge
at Eleventh street took place at
$3.50 yesterday when a heavy iron
beam being removed from the old
bridge and it's supporting wood
work collapsed, killing John Null
len and seriously injuring George
J. Horn.
J. Agnew was slightly bruised
and o. Ridgley saved himself by
jumping into the water and SWIM
ming ashore.
Mullen, Horn and Agnew were
on the beam getting ready to low
er it to the scow when it sudden
ly bucked and they were thrown
to the scow below, falling in a
mass of wreckage.
Mullen strHck on his head and
toppled into the water. He came
up Nut once and then sank and
was drowned. Horn was pinned
down in the wreckage. He was
removed to the hospital with his
back wrenched and chest injured.
Mullen's body was recovered in
a few minutes but all efforts to
revive him failed. He is married
and lived on South M street.
