BISHOPS WARNING.

Too Much Tendency to Com
mercialiZe.

Asbury Park, N. j., March IA
The uneasiness over the assignments
of pastcrates covertly displayed
among ministers of the New Jersey
NJ. E. Conference now in session
here was heightened Thursday when
Bishop Berry, who is presiding, an
nounccd that wholesale changes
will be affected this year as a mat
ter of discipline. Declaring that
the church is in danger of being
"commercia]ized" because of the
extent to which the habit has grown
of grading the preachers according
to the salaries they receive, Bishop
Berry sounded warning to the
ministers and announced that many
changes to be made in pastorates
would probably not meet with
their approval. Continuing, the
bishop condemned the practice Of
churches sending out committees to
hear ministers in other churches
and then bargaining with them to
make change with an increase in
salary as lure"

President Wilson Faces Problem
of Filming Wealthy Democrat

Donald Harper Advocates Govern

for Its Representatives.
Special Gable to The American.

PARIS, Jan. 24.-President Wilson's
problem of finding a Democrat who is
both sufficiently wealthy and we'll
versed in state affairs to justify his
appointment to the Paris Embassy is
rendered more difficult by the an
nouncement cabled to America this
week that Ambassador Merrick's res
ldence at No. Rue Francois Pre-
mier has changed title and will be
occupied by the new owner when Mr..
Herricks lease expires.
The leading real estate men of
Paris say that the next Ambassador,
# he is DESTROYS of living in the same
kind of mansion, will have to pay
S25. 900 yearly rental, or about double
that paid by Mr.. Herrick.
Donald Harper, the Franco Ameri-
can lawyer, who was himself men
toned last year as a possible sue
cessor to Mr.. Herrick, in discussing
the situation said to-day:
Under present conditions no man
can hope to represent the United
States here worthily who is not pre-
pared to spend 100000 yearly out of
his own pocket for the honor and
prestige which the position gives him.
When Ambassador Herrick first
arrived in France he spent about
100000 on furniture and I have no
idea that he intends to give it to his
successor as a present
Straw matched pine chairs are
lovely amid certain surroundings, but
they won't do in Paris in the year
1914. 'Jeffersonian simplicity was a
grand thing for Benjamin Franklin,
as an Ambassador, but if the new
Ambassador thinks he can come to
Paris and ignore the manner in which
his predecessors lived he will not
stay long.
The Herricks, whose entertain
ments were markedly handsome, but
dignifiedly unostentatious, spent
100000 yearly, and Robert Bacon did
rot spend less when he was Ambas-
sador Mr.. Bacon told me in Wash
ington recently that the GovernRent
ought to own its own embassies
abroad and compel the Ambassadors,
rich and poor, to live in them. He
