side church. There were about 200
visiting ministers and delegates pres
eat.
In calling the sixteenth session to
order, Bishop Kilgo delivered an adj
dress in which he said he believed,
in those who are affiliated with the
Methodist church sticking to first
principles, and that the church
should not be affiliated with labor
organizations, health movements and
charitable associations.
Rev. Stonewall Anderson, of Nash
vile, Tennessee, read report In which
the College of Bishops Of the Metho-
dist church, vetoed the acceptance Of
the gift of one million dollars which
had been offered by Andrew Carnegie
to the Vanderbilt University Medical
department under certain conditions.
This was adopted by conference
vote. The report in the nature of
resolution is as follows:
Whereas, The action of the Col
lege of BishoTB, acting as a Board of
Visitors, vetoing the acceptance of
the so called milion-dollar gift Of the
Medical Department. of the Vander-
bilt University by Mr.. Andrew Carne-
gle, has been criticisex in certain
quarters; and,
"Whereas, Four members (being a
minority of the Board of Trust, at
the annual meeting held June, 1913,
entered their protest against the ac-
ceptance of said proposed gift; and.
Whereas, 1t has been claimed by
certain parties that neither the veto
of the bishops nor the protest Of the
minority members of the Board Of
Trust represents the sentiments and
judgment Of the church generally;
Therefore, be 1t resolved, First
that while we regret that the terms
of said gift as set forth IN Mr. Carne-
gie's letter were such that, it could
not be accepted with honor, we do
hereby heartily indorse both the
!! bishops yAto and the protest Of the
minority Of the oBard OF Trust;
Second. That we hereby express
hearty agreement with the sentiments
and. positions Of the bishops. as ex-
pressed in their veto and message
to the church at large" and Of the
minority OF the Board of Trust. as
expressed in their protest;
Il Third. That we hereby pledge onl
hearty sympathy and support to the
bishops and to the minority Of the
Board of Trust as faithful servants

Living In Albany She Asked
Not to Stay

Albany, Ca, Sept, 10.-One of the
Oldest persons in the United States,
and probably the oldest in this state,
died last night on the Johnson home
place, seven miles east of Albany, when
Callie Trowell, a negro woman, who
had reached the allotted three-score
years and ten, when the civil war
closed, succumbed to the infrmities OF
her great age.
She was, according to records which
are generally regarded as authenti ;,
1877 years old.
She had been unable to get out OF
the house in which she lived for near
ly 20 years, though retaining most OF
her faculties, except sight. She was
an old woman when the older resi-
dents of this county were young, and
incidents of her early life which she
related seem to clearly establish the
fact that her age is as claimed.
Her funeral was largely attended by
the colored population of the county

ed any action by the federal govern
mcut ut this time.
The PRECEDENT was told hy Mr..
Kakcr that the people of California
would act through the initiative and
referendum II the legislature rcfus-
cd. lie declared tn" sentiment was
five to one in favor OF the law.
The president position had been
merely that of AN inquirer for intor-

the president a telegram from J. II.
Sanford, u ledcr in the SENATE OF Cal
ifornia. asking that the federal gov
crnmcnt should not interfere with
local affairs. The presidents dccis-
sion today. Mr.. Rakcr said. would
find approval in California.
President Wilson told Mr.. Rak"r
the whole question touched the SOW
creicnty of the state and that he loft
it to California to max" such laws
as 1t deemed advisable for i;s"li

ed that the protest OF the Japanese
government will be held in the par
Lament uuIil the legislation is net
