APPOINTMENTS DISCUSSED
Especial to The rimes-Dispa tch.l

Salisbury, Md, November 15.--The
one hundred and twenty-ninth annual
session of the Virginia Conference of
the Methodist Episcopal Church. South.
opened here to-day. with about 500
delegates in attendance. Bishop John
c. Flilgo. of Durham. N c., presided.
Rev. S, S. Lambeth was reelected sec
rotary, and Revs. b. f. Lipscomb and
Frank L. Wells were reelected assist
ants.
Reports of the presiding elders
showed that during the past year
there had been twenty -four persons
on an average converted for every
members OF the conference.
Soon after the tap of the gavel at
$3.50 o'clock called the conference to
order. lit was demonstrated that a
masters hand was in charge. more
business being transacted at the first
session than perhaps at any previ-
Gus single first session in the history
of the conference.
After the appointment of the nee
essary committees. Bishop Kilgo asked
the twenty-second question. Are all
the preachers blameless In their lifo
and official administration? and the
characters OF the members of the con-
ference We're passed.
The report asked for from the pre-
siding elders was different from tho
old time rcsitinc way In which it is
usually made. stressing the fact that
presiding elder has something more
than routine work due to do, and that
he should have the spirit of an evan
gelist, and even the business meeting
of the church should witness CONVEX
sions.
The conference unanimously passed
resolution asking the publishing
agents to locate the proposed branch
publishing house for the Eastern
states at Richmond, and 1t is believed
by many that this will be done. since
in accessibility and shipping con
veniences Richmond offers many ad.
vantages.
DIR. George Sexton reported that
100000 now is in hand for the ,pur-
pose of erecting great Southern
Methodist Church In Washington, and
that the building would be begun
when s275,OOO has been secured. The
conference pledged itself for $4,000.
The first session Of the cabinet was
held at o'clock. and the appoint
ments are being canvasscd for tho
necessary changes. 1t is almost cer-
tain that DIR. j. N. Latham, who has
just completed his four years at Cen

Government Hopes to Defcar

Move.
HEARING COMES To-Dl
Whatever Decision OF Judge
kohlsaat, Appeal Will Be
Made to Supreme Court.

Washington. November 15.-The
government Will strenuously oppose
any effort to postpone the trial OF the
Chicago meat packers indicted under
the Sherman antitrust law. This was
made known by Attorney General

instructions to District Attorney VIII
kerson, at Chicago. in regard to the
conduct OF the governments case at
the hearing tomorrow before Judge
kohlsaat on the habtas corpus pro-
ceedings Instituted by the packers. The
application for writ of habcas cor
pus is based on the contention that
the Sherman act is unconstitutional.

Prepare for Next Move.

Chicago, November 15-Attorneys
for the indicted meat packers were
busy to-day preparing for the next
move in their latest action to obtain
II ruling by the United States Supreme
Court invalidating the Sherman anti
trust law, which they contend is not
now positive law, because the
reasonable restraint" ruling makes it
impossible to determine beforehand
whether an act is legal.
The hearing on the habeas corpus
writs. granted by United States Circuit
Judge Kohlsaat, Will come up to-mor-
row.
Whichever way he decides the case
VIII at once be APPEALED to the United
States supreme Court. 1t is said.
Meantime the criminal cases against
the ten packers Will be halted, because
the case is now out OF the jurisdiction
OF Federal Judge Carpenter, the pack
ers having surrendered themselves in
Judge kohlsaat's court yesterday.
Attorneys who to-day studied the
legal phases of tile latest action OF the
packers. tonight said that the decision
of the Supreme Court in the present
cause probably would be of great in
tcrest to all business combinations In
the country.
Act NuIiifcd.
The main contention raised by Tho
pakers is this: When the Supreme
Court held that the reasonableness OF
the restraint OF trade must be deter
mined in each individual case the
packers contend the high court null
fled the sherman act, because, they say.
II took from the citizen or corpora :
ton the power of knowing whether
what he did was criminal before his
case had been passed on by court
