Washington, Oct IA situation
developed in the House today that

by Representative Henry. OF Texas,
who has determined apparently to
resort to every expedient to force
Congress to pass legislation for the
relief OF the Southern cotton planters.

TO COST MORE
SAYS HEAD OF BAKERS
That Price Has Not Been Adj

Ter is Due Entirely to Baker
Himself.

even though the cost of everything
that goes into the makeup of the
bread has been advanced since be-
ginning of the European war. .he
bakers OF this country and OF Canada
have become the most philanthropic Of
all those who supply necessities Ok
life to the people. That this is true
was shown yesterday afternoon In tho
statement made by Mark Bredin. Ct
Toronto, president OF the Na.lonal
Association OF Master Bakers, which
hegins it's annual convention in Rich
mend today.
Tha. the price Is bound TO go higher
or the size of the loaf be cut TO a
lighter weight within a short time,
unless the war ends soon and condi-
tons return to normal, Is President
Bredin's opinion,
Everything the baker uses IN pro-
ducing bread now costs more" said
President Bredin. Sugar has doubled
in price. oats are up so per cent and
-four has advanced In price SO per
cent. In Canada. We have to pay
war tax of three cents pound en-
malt, in addition to the other cd
vanced costs yet we. like the bakers
In the States, have not increased our
prices.

cause. az q general thing. all had con-
siderab bly, large stock on hand before

This stock. sooner or later. will be
exhausted and the baker will have TO

ness. With the cost to him so n
creased, he will be unable longer to

Dispatches from Warsaw say that
the Germans are not expected to re-

first IL that continuous rains make It

their infantry with artillery. The
district over which their troops spread

one railroad over which the Germans
could transport their heavy guns,

MINISTER CHARGES
SALOON FINANCED
BY CHURCH FUNDS
Sensation Sprung on Floor Of
EIolston Conference Trust
Company Plan Adopted
Without Opposition

Especial to The Richmond virginian.)
Bristol, Va. Oct. IA sensation
was sprung on the floor of the Hoiston
Conference OF the Methodist Episcopal
Church. South, now holding its ninety
third session here, when Rev. G. A.
Maiden. former presiding elder.
charged this afternoon that sacred
funds OF the conference had been
loaned for use in opening a saloon at
Radford, Va.
He made the statement in support
Of resolution to have a bank or
trust company act as general treas
urer of the conference. He said that
an immense amount OF money had
been lost and wasted through loose
financial practices in the conference.
There was some decided objection
during the debate, but no one voted.
against the resolution.
AS a result OF its adoption all con-
ference board treasurers will have
their accounts audited and some trust
company will be chosen a teller and
custodian OF the church funds 1t IL
believed that this action will greatly
stimulate the benevolent contribu-
tions to the church.
All Ministers Rlanseless.
Minute question No, % was called
and the names of all the preachers
were declared to be blameless in life
and administration. The conference
took over and became responsible for
$4,000 debt on Centenary College, To-
Gated at Cleveland. Tenn. The con-
ference adjourned for q night session.
This Is the sixth day OF the conference
in which two sessions have been held.
Two ministers, one from the Northern
Methodist Church and one from the
Freewill Baptist Church, were receiv-
ed into the ministry OF the confer
ence. The conference heard the tenn
perance report read by DIR. George r.
Stuart and gave close attention to an
address by DIR. McAlister, OF the vir-
ginia Anti-Saloon League. Great in
terest was manifested. both In the re-
port and the address.
Next Meeting Place.
A most interesting debate on where
the next session Of the conference
should be held resulted In the vote
between Bluefield, w. Va, and Knox
Vile. Tenn. The conference adjourn
ed until morning with the question un-
settled. Tho conference Will probably
adjourn sine die at the close Of Tues
day mornings session.
Presiding Elder ]. A. Burrow re-
ported that Rev. w. d. Dew had SUR
rendered his credentials under a
cloud. He stated that Bishop Denny
had agreed for Dew TO surrender his
credentials but that the latter did not
attempt to bind the conference against
taking action. No action was taken.
however, sS
