NEW YORK, Nov 1s-Testifying
before Justice Gerard in the supreme
court, Mrs. Severina G. Samarelli the
"kissless bride" offered reasons. back

of letters, why she should wish to di-
vorce DR.. Samareli.
Mrs. Samarell has been called the
marble statue" the doll bride" and
other names descriptive Of extreme in
difference by her husband, who, she
says, deserted her Is days after they
were married. y
The young wcman's personal appear
ance her account Of the love which she
lavished on Samarelli and remarkable
letters she offered as evidence are evil
dence, her lawyers say. that she is not
"marble-hearted woman" One letter
read, in part:
Il intrust my existence to thee; do
thou recall 1t to real life. Cause it to
vibrate; warm it with the heat of thy
love. Love me as l do feel love 1t
is not true that thou canst love me bet
ter, more ardently, more passionately."

sisted by a score of prominent business
men in his church to greet the delegates

There Is no little speculation as to APP
pointments to be made at this confer
ence. The general idea prevails that a
great many changes will be made.
Changes in some of the most prominent
pulpitS are expected, and IT is understood
that some preachers from other confer
ences will be transferred here. Should
this be done 1t will not meet the approval
Of many in this conference. At the ses-
sion a year ago a resolution was intro
duced against such procedure in flu
ture. The resolution was not entertained
by Bishop Wilson. Nevertheless, it is
considered that the will of the conference
was expressed.
TWO Important Issues.
A feature Of this conference that will
cause something of a sensation is the
Introduction of a motion to forbid any
man serving longer than four consecutive
years as presiding elder. 1t is not yet
known who will introduce this resolution,
but it is surely expected to he done. SEN
timeut in the matter is very pronounced
and such action is being urged on all
sides.
Another matter that will be brought for
ward al this session will be the request
Of the women of the church that laity
rights be granted them. The North Geor.
gia conference has never considered the
matter although it has been before the
genereIa conference and has been disap-
proved by that body by vote Of IA to II,
The plan now is to urge this conference
to look into the merits Of the innovation
by appointing a committee to investigate
and make report year hence. Many Of
the prominent Methodist church women
are connected with the movement, and
VIII be here this week to agitate Fl.
