eral Conference.

Minneapolis. May 30.-With the
pronouncing of the Episcopal bene-
diction shortly after o'clock yester-
day by the venerable Bishop Henry w.
Warren, the centennial quadrennial

Warren's last appearance as presiding
officer in an active capacity, as the
general conference at this session re-
tired him, after thirty-two years as a
general superintendent. with Bishops
Thomas 3. Neeley and David H.
Moore.
Although the conference was sched-
uled to adjorn sine die at 1 o'clock
this afternoon, the press of business
at the close necessitated the turning
back of the hands of the clock and it
was not until after 2 o'clock that the
final roll call. which marked the pass
ing Of the business session of the 1912
general conference, was begun. Dur
ing the entire morning session meas

conference, but was sufficient, 1t was
decided, to refer the question for ap-
proval to the annual and lay confer
ences Of the next four years, and to
bring 1t up at the 1915 general con-
ference for final action.
Opposition to the amendment de-
veloped among some Of the negro del

might be construed as race discrim-
ination. j. Harvey Smith of Jackson
