One From Iowa. Favored in the DIS.
cussions by the Methodist
Delegates.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, May l5.-Al-
though the report of the Episcopal
committee which is to be made ts the
Methodist general conference. was not
yet complete today, it was authenti-
cally stated that five new Episcopal
residences would be recommended
along with the retirement of three of
the present bishops. This will mean
the election by the conference OF
eight bishops.
1t is assured that Bishops Warren,
Moore and Mcintyre will be recon-
mended for retirement although the
last named is making hard fight to
retain his place. The new residences
will be st. Louis, Los Angeles, Hell
ena, Pittsburgh and Kansas City. The
report will be finished this afternoon
and presented to the conference to.
morrow
The question of who will fill the
eight places today was discussed by
the delegates Favored in the discussion
are Drs. D G. Downey, of New York;
Homer C. Stuntz of Iowa: c. R. Ha-
vighurst of Ohio; Frank Mcconnell of
Indiana; Charles Bayard Mitchell OF
Illinois and Charles Edward Loocke,
of California.
The committee on temporal econ
omy today recommended that a com.
mission of four bishops. three minis.
tiers and eight laymen be appointed to
handle all church funds and to di-
vide the money among the various
church boards. Much opposition is an
ticipated when this recommendation
is taken up for consideration by the
conference.

Ted Pieeott,s Fine Voice.


The high school pupils had a rare
treat this morning in the singing OF
Mr.. Ted Piggott who appeared before
them at 9 o'clock singing THE Horn"
In response to a hearty encore he
sang The Mighty Deep 49,,
The listeners were entirely carried
away with his singing Of these two
songs and applauded again and again,
trying to recall him.
Mr.. Hayden finally announced that
all would have chance to hear Mr..
Piggott Friday evening as he would
appear on the program to be given at
the Congregational church by the
united g1ee clubs and the high school
orchestra.
The orchestra rendered Caprice Mil
itaire this morning at the high school
and played the selection most accept
ably. surprising their friends by their
excellent work.
The orchestra will be strengthened
for the concert Friday night and will
add greatly to the program.

HALF THOUSAND
MEXICANS KILLED
Continued from page IL

er reports from Sundays fighting
around Conejos following receipt of
news from the front Twenty men of
the Juarez garrison deserted and
came to the American side and 1t Is
believed another defeat such as Oroz-
cos men sustained yesterday would
result in wholesale desertions
Today Orozco is making what is be-
lieved to be his last stand at Rellano.
Fighting is reported to have been re-
sumed at daylight with the rebels
fighting stubbornly to stem the flood
of federals. If defeated today at Rel
lano 1t is said in Juarez that Orozco
will make Chihuahua his base of oper-
ations, but it is not believed that ne
will be able to control enough of his
army should he again be defeated to
offer serious resistance
Details of the number killed yester-
day are still lacking but from federal
source it is said the rebels lost more
than five hundred. This is believed in
Juarez to be greatly exaggerated.
Three hundred rebel wounded were
sent by Orozco from Conejos to Chi
huahua Yesterday and another train
load Of wounded is expected there to-
day, according to advices received in
Juarez.

Vaughn is Some Shot.
Pigeon shooting was another diver
sion. Everyone was in fine shape here
too. Ed. Vaughn is said to have made
three perfect scores getting his hun
dred out of hundred every time.
This may seem very unusual to some
people but it is rumored (be careful not
to repeat this) that he broke them be-
fore the trap was sprung.
Also there was ball game and as
the regular team could not bring back
victory 1t was up to the motor boat
boys. When they have. duty to per-
form they do it In style and the pitch
ing of Flanagan and the superb catch
ing OF John Cameron, with alright
fielding of the rest of the club team
took hairraising victory away from
the northern boys whose home port
,is Galland. The game is entitled to
lengthy report but the members of
the club We're SO angry with the Off
cial scorer that they drowned him after
the game and no one knows just
what was done. Each member of both
teams has different story, among
other things each one claims that he
made all of the runs for his side. If
the body of the scorer can be recover
ed and the sheets are still upon his
person this paper will publish the cor
rest report.

fine strings of channel and yellow cat

Two panoramic pictures were taken

engravings of the battle of Gettysburg

industrial City Is another Long Step
Towards the Goal Of Com
mercial Success, Is
Belief.
PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED
Keokuk Citizens Are Assured by Mr..
Joy, Of the Industrial Associa-
ton, That Gate City
Story lis Correct.

Keokuk citizens, especially that
class of citizens who are ever alive to
the best interests Of the city and al
ways seeking to consummate any pro-
posed undertaking for the welfare of
Keokuk, and to make personal sacri-
fees where it Is thought necessary,
were treated to another agreeable sur
prise Sunday when they awoke con-
fronted with the story Of the great
commercial enterprise which has been
under consideration Tor some time.
and which was virtually consummated
Saturday evening
Not until President JOY, of
the Industrial Association, had
verified the report could many
Of these citizens believe that
the fortunate business stroke was
reality, and that Keokuk today
faces what is believed to be one of the
most important moves In the right
direction that it has ever been for
tunate enough to consider. President
Joy confirmed the story OF
the Industrial City, as min
utely detailed in Sundays Gate
City, and after this had been
done there naturally followed the Gus
tomary gossip of the probabilities and
possibilities OF such an undertaking,
and the future development of the
plans, along with the other consequent
adjuncts which are rehabiliatated in
the loyal breast when a forward move
is successfully executed.
With the more than half section of
land composing the assured Industrial
City, plans are being evolved for the
perfect manipulation OF the district in
order to secure the greatest eff
ficiency in service and development
for the success of the venture and OF
d the city as well, and at the same time,
4 to discourage spectators who might
seek to gain foothoId in the district
| at the expense of those who viii see
| fit TO locate in this section of the city.
While a number OF the lesser details
have not been made public, they will
be OF interest to the local public when
the proper time comes, and at the
same time, outside capital and indus
tries will be encouraged at the bene-
fits and prospects, and little trouble
is anticipated in securing substantial
tenants for the really desirable loca-
tons that the new Industrial City will
be enabled to offer better by far than
those that can be offered by other
cities.
While other cities have their eyes
open to prospective and desirable fac.
tories, 1t is generally believed here
and in some quarters, is an accepted
fact, that from henceforth, keokuk
will be enabled to outstrip other cities
in its class with its ideal manufactur.
Ing district, its cheap power and 9th.
er inducements too numerous to men.

FEWER DAILY PAPERS
Statistics Show That They Are Dimin-
isIaing in Number.

Philadelphia, Jan. 3O.-Newspaper
census figures for 1911, compiled by
the American Newspaper Annual and
Directory, published here today, in
dictate that multiplication of daily pa
perS in the United States has come to
a halt. A year ago the number was
2,472; the 1912 Annual lists 13 less,
showing that the trend is now in the
downward direction. According to
this authority, greater mortality than
birth rate is explained by suspension
or consolidation of newspapers in
crowded and unproductive fields.
New England has lost four dailies,
New York four, middle west states
nine, and the western states have thir-
teen less than a year ago. Gains have
been heaviest in the southern states,
while the middle Atlantic section has
an increase of three.
Weekly and semi-weekly newspa-
pers also seem to have reached their
limit in numbers. The 1912 Annual
names and describes 1929 weeklies,
40 less than in 1911, and sos semi
weeklies as compared with 617 in
1911.
The 1912 Annual marks it's forty
fourth year, contains more than 1900
pages describing 24,345 newspapers
and periodicals, presents ten distinct
items about each, including its cir
culation rating, and gives 1910 census
population for the 1000 towns in
which newspapers are published.
