NJ. {. CHURCH
north IS NOW
STIRRED UP
over negro BISHOP PROBLEM
Shall One Be Elected? Is the
Live Issue

New York, April 27.-That the COM
ing General Conference of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, North, to be
held in Minneapolis in May. is very
likely to bring about some radical
changes is the representation of some
of those VINO expect to attend. One
of the questions which, it is stated,
will come up for consideration and
action is the election of a colored
bishop for work among the negro
membership of the church.
This proposition, which at the last
General Conference was somewhat
favorably received, will have less
chance of adoption at this conference,
it is stated One of the principal OBJ
jections urged against this move is
that it would be impossible to hav3
the bishop preside over colored con-
! ferences only. In order to make such
a ruling the constitution of the church
would have to be changed. Unless
that was done, it is pointed out he
would have the same right to preside
over white conferences as other
bishops.
With no prospect of securing {
bishop of their own color, there is 6
feeling that the colored section of tbs
church may withdraw and form ar
Independent denomination or amalga
mate with the African Methods
Church. Any move to elect coloreC
bishop will be opposed by delegates
from the Southern section of the coun
try, and they will be supported b!
many of their Northern brethren.
Along with the movement to hav
bishops districted, there will be al
attempt to have the same bishop pre-
. side over the same conferences durin;
, the qualrennium between meetings o
= General Conference. 1t is contende
that by this plan the bishop would b
given better opportunity to get il
better touch with the needs of the dis
: trict and could see the results of hi
r appointments. At present it usual
happens that after making appoint
: ments the residing bishop is forced t
hurry to another part Of the countr
: to take charge of another conference

Some Southern Figures.

Last year the South mined $4,000,
900 tons of coal, while in 1880 the
United States mined of bituminous and
anthracite coal only 71,480,0O0 tons.
Possibly the most striking illustra-
ton of the increasing wealth of the
South is that, though its population is
100000 less than that of the United
States in 1880, the individual deposits
in its national banks exceed the in
dividual deposits in the national banks
of the United States in 1880 by 1884,
100000

SWINDLERS ARE
HELD FOR GRAND JURY

Jacob and Morris Luban, two of
the three alleged bank swindlers ar
rested yesterday by Lieutenants Tuite
and Maier and Pinkerton operatives
were held in 1000 bail each for the
Grand Jury by Judge Hahn in the
First Criminal Court today.
The third man arrested, Samuel
Friedman. who gave his address as
IS Second avenue, New York, was
discharged for lack of evidence. it
being stated to the court that he
was only used by the two Lubans
as a tool.
The specific charge against the Lu-
bans was the larceny from a letter
box of a check for $116.25 from Green
berg Brothers, of New York. This
check with others was deposited in
the American National Bank, of
Newark.
The police say that Jacob Luban
has a long criminal record; that in
1899 he was arrested on the charge
of robbery in Chicago, but was not
convicted. In 1904 he served two
months in the ~workhouse in st. Louis
for forgery in the fourth degree. and
in 1905 served six months in the st.
Louis institution for forgery in the
second degree. He was also recently
convicted of grand larceny in New
York, but he made restitution and
sentence was suspended.

Robinson, leader of the movement, is
sued a statement outlining the scope
of the meeting.
Mayor Gaynor and Police Commits
sioner Waldo have not been invited
to attend. With regard to this failure
to invite them, Mr.. Robinson's state
ment says: THE fact that they
are not invited should not be taken
to indicate that the committee is of
the opinion hat they are to blame.
1t is our opinion that no one is in a
position to say at the present time
Just who is to blame.
There is no question but that
some kind of a system for protecting
lawlessness in the city exists. There
also is no question but that the
benefciaries of this system are not
the police force as a whole, but a
few individuals who are in league
with the criminals and certain polit-
ical leaders,"

Wet the murderers of Rosenthal the

sums a~ggregating hundreds of thou

LIEUTENANT TELLS OF
HARDSHIPS AT FRONT

Some of the hardships experienced
by the troops from this section who
went to help defend New York from
the invading army are set forth by
Lieutenant William ]. Reddan, of
Company H, of Orange. Fifth Regi-
men N. G. n. j., in a card to a
friend in East Orange. It Indicates
that the maneuvers We're a little more
strenuous at the start than those
held in Manassas, in which the regi-
ment took part.
The arrival of the command at the
point set aside for them did not fore
cast what was in store apparently,
but when the heavy rainstorm came
up and clogged VI the roads the big
wagon used for the first time by the
company could not be taken owe the
route passed by the men on foot. AS
a result there was no food on hand.
The rain made their camp a pond
and sleep was out of the question.
The food, soggy in form, arrived at
6 o'clock Sunday morning. Despite
their hard time, however, Lieutenant
Reddan reported that the health of
the command was excellent.
