AUTOMATIC METHOD
 OF RETIRING BISHOPS
GENERAL METHODIST CONFER ENcE WILL DROP THEM WHEN
 THEY REACH 73 YEARS.

Minneapolis, Minn., May 27.-The Methodist Episcopal conference today adopted the plan of making automatic the retirement of bishops at the gen. eral conference nearest his 7Sd birth day The plan will go into effect as the beginning of the next general con ference, and will replace the method of superannuating bishops by vote of the conference.
 The conference today rejected an amendment introduced by Robert Forbes of Philadelphia, which provid- ed that any charges made against bishops should be presented to the senior bishop, who should present them to the board of bishops. and that the case should be heard behind clos cd doors.
 In reply to the request of the church early in the session that the United States recognize the new republic oi China, a letter today was received from Philander c. Knox, secretary of state, in which he declared that fit is the disposition of the executive to ac cord recognition to the new Chinese government at the earliest opportu- nifty afforded under the established lrsages of international law"

BRAZILIAN SHOWS
 HIS ANIMOSITY
MINISTER MAKES cAUSTlc 4 SPEECH AT BANQUET OF THE
 PAN AMERICAN SOCIETY

New York, May 27. - The recent visit of Secretary of State Knox to ten of the Caribbean republics on a mission of fraternal greetings from this country was pleasantly recog- nized by the Pan American society at it's annual banquet here tonight.
 The society had the secretary S guest of honor and among the guests were the diplomatic representatives of no less than 16 Central and South American countries. They listened attentively and accorded appluse tY the secretarys review of his most gratifying mission," his reiteratior of the friendly policy of the United States and his suggestion for improve ment in the mut;ial relations between the United States and her sister re- publics.
 In addition to the secretary, the speakers included Ambassador De Cana of Brazil, Manual Calero. the Mexican ambassador and Congress- man William Sulzer.
 The Brazilian ambassador, who spoke directly after Secretary Knox, was greeted with cheers, but startled the assemblage with a strong pro- test at the action of the United States in recently seizing nearly 3 million bags of coffee belonging to the so- called Brazilian coffee trust because of alleged violation of the antitrust law
 At the conclusion of a lengthy ad- dress. Ambassador De Cana declared his hope for a new era in commer- cial relations with the United States. Brazil had received a heavy blow when this country indorsed "the somewhat arbitrary and quite revo- lutionary doctrine of paying for oth- CT peoples merchandise not the price they asked for it, but the price the United States, l mean the Amer ican merchants, want to pay for it. 1t is a brand new doctrine and the United States seems disposed to en- force it even to the sacrifice of long standing international friendship. In their eagerness to establish their right to meddle with the property of foreign state, certain officials of this government went so far as to proclaim before an American court of justice the forfeiture of the sover- eighty of that foreign state and this with an unthoughtfuiness of the con- sideration due a friendly state which comes within the boundaries of in- ternational discourtesy
 "So you see, Mir. Chairman. we, the South Americans, have still much to learn of the new American ways in dealing with foreign countries, as Americans have still to learn the way to our hearts.
 This should be one of the pur- poses of the American society and 1 cordially wish and hope that some day may make the speech of my life by bearing testimony before you that this splendid result has been happily and fully attained"

saYs cuha is safe.

New York, May 27.-"Cuba has not forfeited her right to freedom and self government. Intervention by an armed American force at this time would be both unfair and unjust. President Gomez has the situation we'll in hand, and the uprising, which now is confined practically to the province of Oriente, will be sup pressed. President Taft's message to President Gomez today will, I am confident, serve to convince the gov ernment and the people of Cuba of the cordial friendship of the Amer iean government"
 These statements were made to- night by Frank Steinhart, former American consul general in Havana, who now is president of the Havana Electric Railway & Power CD. He declared the 'situation in Cuba is not now and has not been critical The unrest, he said, has been confined ot two provinces, and he is confident the rising will not become widespread. Mir. Steinhart left Havana one week ago. He said that American property interests are not endangered

he mentioned the big one.' He said he meant Captain White. whom he had selected as custodian of the money"
 The witness said he made further objection to White as stakeholder. 2 but Franklin insisted and finally it was agreed that Lockwood should meet White the next morning at Third and Los Angeles streets, where the first payment of $500 would be made. Lockwood then told of the meeting with White the next day at the des- ignated place. when he was given a $500 bill by White and shown $3,500 more. He said he saw Franklin across the. street at the time and when Franklin approached he said, he told the McNamara detective he feared there was something wrong He believed, he said, that someone had overlooked their conversation al his home the previous night. Frank lin looked back and uttered an oath then cautioned him not to look around.
 Let's get out of here, Franklin told me" said the witness. And Inc and White and myself walked to- ward Main street. Near the corner man was coming toward Franklin but Brown of the district attorneys office stepped between them and waved them back. Then he arrested Franklin"
 "Who was the other man?" asked the district attorney.
 "I have learned since" said the witness, that it was Clarence Dar- row"
 What did Darrow do?"
 Really, I lost sight of him. l didn't see him again" said Lock- wood.
 The witness then told of being with Franklin and White to the district attorneys office. where the $4,000 was turned over to Captain Freder- lcks.
 His direct examination was not concluded when court adjourned
The Sentinel=record., 1912-05-28

.t was shown that the fund available Tor the transportation of troops has run low with the approach of the end of the fiscal year. and any at tempt to move troops from posts in this country to Cuba would be costly.
 In addition to this the department and the administration are anxious to adhere closely to the terms of the Platt amendment, under which the United States intervened in Cuba aft CT the collapse of the Palma admin istration in 1906. The law as inter- preted by the judge advocate gen eral of the army, provides that the United States may intervene only ;.for the preservation of Cuban in- dependence, the maintenance of a government adequate to the protec- tion of life, property, and individual liberty and for diseharging the ob- legations with respect to Cuba, i'm posed by the treaty of Paris on the United States, now to be undertaken by the government of Cuba"
 Even with these requirements full filled. the United States would first endeavor by diplomatic negotiations and pacific means to settle the af- fairs of Cuba.

.$2.5OO.OOO VERDICT
 IN BIGELOW CASE
INNOCENT PURCHASERS OF MIN ING STOCKS WIN JUDGMENT
 IN SUIT TO RECOVER.

Washington, May 27.-0ne of the largest judgments against an indiyid- ual ever decreed by the supreme court of the United States was announced today against Albert s. Bigelow of Boston. He will be called on to pay a judgment of $2.100,000 together with interest which probably will bring the total to $2,500,000
 The victor in the suit is the Old Dominion Copper Mining and Smelt- ing Company. Bigelow and Leopard Lewisohn of New York promoted the company, and while owning its stock. sold to it certain property at an enor- mour profit Then they sold their the company under the control of the innocent" stockholders, it sued Lew isohn in New Yorw for the profits. The company lost.
 Then Bigelow was sued by the com pany in Massachusetts, and the courts of that state laid down the far reach ing principle that the company no longer controlled by it's promoters, could rescind it's contract to pur- 1udoC lAlC IAOPNiNf AioAtA hhNihs bAN make Bigelow account. Consequent ly Bigelow was directed to pay the company $2,10O,000.
 Corporation lawyers are in a quan- dary tonight as to the law. The su- preme court in 1908 affirmed the New York decision, which held the company could not recover while today, it likewise affirmed the Mas sachusetts decision, which allowed it | to recover.
 The decision today dealt exclusive | ly with the question whether the | Massachusetts court was controlled by the New York decision under the full faith and credit clause" of the constitution. The Massachusetts courts will be called on to enforce the judgment.

Government Thlnks Rebellion VIII be Short Lived-RecruItins Vol unteers at Key West for serv-
 Ice on the Island.

Santiago, Cuba, May 27.-Generals Esteno and lvonet, leaders in the revolutionary rising, have declared their intention to carry on the war whether the United States intervenes or not, until the Morua law has been repealed. This law provides that there shall be no recognition of po- litical parties on racial lines, and is offensive to the negroes.
 The insurgent leaders have made the further statement, in an inter- view with a correspondent, who has just returned from the field, that they received offers of money from the Cuban government in consideration for not taking the field, but they re- fused, rather than have the political aspirations of the negro race unful- filled
 Esteno and Ivonet have under them 1,500 men of whom 500 are well armed. They announce their inten- tion of exacting war contributions from the planters and otherwise they will burn their property. They ex- press themselves as pleased to ob- serve that the Cuban government has been slow in attacking them, thus allowing them time for organization.
 It is understood General Estenoz has addressed an important commu- nfcation to Gomez outlining tine sit uation as he sees it.
