Conference Abruptly Halted.

Chattanooga, May 12.-The con-
ference of the joint commission on
federation of Methodist churches
came to halt at last nights session
when the item relating to the elec-l
ton and jurisdiction of bishops was
reached. The plan provided for four
general conferences by divisions.
One section of the commission IA
vored extending the jurisdiction to
the entire country, while the South
ern representatives favored limiting
jurisdiction to the division in which
they were elected, except when speci-
ally invited by other bishops.
Over this point long argument
ensued and adjournment was taken
without decision, but it Is believed
to-day that even this item will be
amicabIy settled.

CLAIM PRESENTED.

Board for $4,000.

Basing the claim upon an alleged
verbal contract with the old State
dispensary commission and Attorney

already been paid $1,000 by the old
dispensary. commission for such ser
vices. Mr.. Scruggs did not present
a written contract to the commission.
Attorney General Lyon was out of
the city yesterday, and the. commits
sion refused to consider the claim. A
meeting of the commission will be
held next Monday, when the attorney
general will be asked to be present.
No Action Taken.
The commission did not stake any
action on the petition of the Carolina
Glass company to return $4,000

Richland county. The petition of the
glass company will very probably be
considered at the meeting next Mon
day. J

ly, appeared before the commission

tify in the graft trials. The commits
sion refused to take any action until
Attorney General Lyon has made a
statement. He was out of the city
and the matter will come up again

OLDEST CITY IN ARIZONA.
Mining Engineers Find Relics on
TableIand Near Phoenix.

Still another "oldest city in the
world" has been discovered. When
T. Hewitt Myring found cases in Peru
in ruins which were said to be 1000
years old it was imagined that the
remains of early civilization had been
pushed as far into antiquity as they
would ever go, says the Chicago Tri-
bune. But A. Lafave, a mining en-
gineer, has found the relics of a
town in an Arizona tableland near
Phoenix, which he insists are at
least 10000 years old. The build
ings are on level stretch Of coun-
try where neither silt nor wash was
possible and yet the ruins were coV-
cred with ten feet Of prairie rust
which the discoverer claims requires
ages to accumulate.
The buildings of sandstone show
great architectural skill and in the
walls were found box of cotton bolls
and a sealed jar of corn, both well
preserved. The Arizona climate does
not permit the growth of cotton in
the present age, so Mr.. Lafave as
sumes that sufficient time must have
elapsed since the cotton which he
found was grown to have wrought a
complete change in the character OF
the country. This period he also
gauges as something like 10000
years.
He is satisfied that the ruins are
older than those of Nineveh or Baby
lon. He believes that the race which
built this town were possessed OF a
high civilization from the abundance
of artistically wrought pottery and
that it subsequently was broken up
by internal dissension and possibly
degenerated into the cliff-dwelling
peoples.

DYNAMITE MYSTERY CLEARED
Explosive Hidden in Stump on Tom
Watson's Place.

Thomson, Ca, May 9.-The mys-
terry as to who was trying to assas-
sinate Thomas E. Watson. has been
solved, it is said. =
An accident revealed to the eyes
of the law the planters of the dyna-
mite.
They were just two boys on a
fishing trip.
The kids intended to use the ex-
plosive to kill fish.
There's the story. There appear
ed in the Constitution of May 3 an
article concerning Watson headed
Dynamite Found by Tom Watson" "
In this article Mr.. Watson connects
the dynamite discovery on his place
with the so-called "attempted assas-
sination in February, when a couple
of desperate politicians, sent band
of assassins after him. .
When this dynamite was found in
a stump in the woods by Colonel
Jake Winn and reported. to Mr.. Wat
son there was raised such a hue and
cry that the whole countryside be-
came alarmed. Soon after this dis
covery two boys were seen passing
through the premises in the direction
of Wrightsboro. AS this was the di-
rection in which the supposed as
sassins of February were thought to
have gone, the alarm was sounded
Immediately.
The pursuit was taken up. Sev-
eral automobiles Joined in the chase.
The tracks were followed almost to
Wrightsboro and at length the al
legged dynamiters were safely captur-
ed without struggle. One Of the
dangerous ones happened to- be the
thirteen-year-old son of one Of the
pursuers, Mr.. Banks; the other a lit
tie boy of the same age. The two
had merely slipped off for a days
frolic.

HOLDS SHERIFF AT BAY.
Greenyille Man Claps Pistol to His
Own Head and Holds it There.

Greenville, May 11.-After hold
ing the county sheriff and corps of
deputies by pressing against his tenn
pie of a cooked revolver, and threat
ening to blow out his brains if any
member of the posse advanced a step
nearer, Robert Henton, white man,
was arrested on the outskirts of the
city this afternoon and lodged in the
county Jail.
Henton was induced to surrender
only when bond necessary for his re-
lease was shown him on the spot.
In answer to a call sent in about
2:3O O'Clock the sheriff and deputies
made a. hurried departure for the
scene of trouble. 1t was reported
that Henton had shot his wife, and
was about to annihilate the neighbor-
hood. The man learned of the sher-
ifs approach and forthwith sent a
message that if the officers attempted
to arrest him he would shoot his head
off. Drawing near the scene of the
shooting they beheld Henton stand
ing in his front yard, with pistol
clapped to his temple. The man had
established a dead line" about him
and in solemn tones raised his voice
aloft and cried out that if the posse
advanced one inch nearer the trig-
ger would be pulled and a climate
warmer than this on earth would re-
ceive his spirit. This caused the pos
Sc to "stack arms" on the edge Of the
"dead line" while peace negotiations
were opened up, but all in vain.
Extended arguments and various
ruses were brought into play, but all
in vain. 1t was then that propos-.
al was made which swept Henton
off his feet. Submit to arrest and
I will go your bond Immediately"
read the proposal which brought
Henton to surrender.
