METHODISTS OF WORLD
TO GATHER AT TORONTO
Will Urge Greater Use Of
LayTneR as Preachers

Toronto, Canada, May 4.-When the
Methodists of the world meet in To-
ronto next fall-three hundred repre-
sentatives from North America and
Japan and two hundred from Europe,
Australia, South Africa and the mis-
sion fields of Asia-a permanent or
ganization of world Methodists will
be formed competent to speak and act
for Methodists on great questions like
world peace, world missions, and
Christian unity The present Euc
menicaI Conference meets but once
in ten years, and is in charge of COM
mittees formed for conference pur-
pose only.
Extension of a Christian Brother
hood of Methodists will be approved,
and if Sir Robert w Perks, of Lon
don, one of the European members, has
his way, a far larger use of laymen
as regular preachers in place of sal
eAAINu uIIliISlEIS VIII Be recommended
to Methodists of all countries. In En-
gland $4,000 Methodist laymen preach
each week to settled congregations,
serving wholly without salaries. Meth
odists in the United States favor the
extension of the plan here, for it is
said, both wider preaching the the
gospel and because the plan extends
the personal acquaintance o. infiu-
ence of Christian laymen, resulting
in their election to political posts,
and other offices of public trust. Lay
mems associations of annual confer
ences are considering this laymen
plan, with a view to recommending
it to the next general conference, TO
meet in Minneapolis in May 1912.

DAMAGE NOT GREAT AS
Result OF SMALL FIRE
Midnight Blaze on Jefferson
Street

The excellent work of the depart
ment at the midnight blaze on Jeffer-
son street Wednesday night and yes
terday morning prevented spread of
flames which started in the kitchen
of the two-story dwelling next the
home of Mrs. ]. NJ White. The house
endangered was occupied by Mrs. Jen-
ME Cheek and children, top floor, Mr..
Collins and family occupying the first
floor The fire worked its way inside
the dwelling to the roof and swept the
comb fore and aft, though only a
small area was burned over. The Sit
uation of the dwelling with the flames
upon the topmost part of the roof
made blaze that could be seen all
over the city. The house was but
little damaged, except by water, and
the small loss is fully covered by in
surance.

mrs. WAPPENSTEIN BEFORE GRAND JURY

Secret Indictment Returned
This Morning Just Before
Ex-Chiefs Wife Was Before
Probers.
Mrs. Charles w. Wsppenstein,
wife OF the es-chief Of police, was
called before the grand jury this
morning, and Just before she
entered the Jury room Foreman
corliss handed another secret In
dletmert 10 Judge Main.
A warrant for the arrest Of tho
indicted person was Immediately
put In the hands OF the sheriff, but
no intiraation OF his identity could
be secured.
Mrs. Wappensteln was before the
jurors only 20 minutes, but as she
left she made remark 10 Attorney
Morris 70 the effect that she might
be called again. She came 20 the
court house and left again in an
auto.
The Indictment returned today
was evidently the result Of the EVIL
dence secured from r. B. Benn and
the two Portland detectives who
were called yesterday afternoon,
as no other witnesses OF fmportanco
had ben heard when the indictment
was found.
II Is believed that the jury In
probing into the facts concerning
Wappenstein's bank account. and
since Mrs. Wappensteln's name was
brought into this phase Of her hus-
bands trial. IL Is presumed that she
was called TO tell something more
about II.
Mrs Wappenstein was dressed In
a neat appearing tailor made suit
She showed no signs of excitement
and smiled pleasantly as Attorney
Morris assisted her to the waiting
auto.
