WANTS METHODIST
AS Estate CHURCH,
Retired Pastor Makes Suggestion
at Newark Conference
Wilson Attacked.

The Newark Conference OF the Meth
odist Episcopal Church was stirred yes
terday by suggestion that President
Wilson be asked TO make the Methodist
Church the Church of state The sugges-
ton caused a moment of tension, which
passed only when the Bishop ignored II,
probably as ironical but ii is believed the
situation will crop up again and result IN
resolutions denouncing the President and
his Cabinet for attending a Roman Cath
Ole mass.
The Rev. T. II. Landon, a retired min
lister, recalled this action of the President
and his Cabinet after DR.. Franklin Ham
ilton, Of Washington University, an
nounced that the university would be
opened May q. and added that President
Wilson and his secretary had promised
TO be present. Mr.. Landon then suggest
ed that the President be asked to make
the Methodist the official Church
Many charges against ministers are to
be investigated at the conference. The
most important case is that of the Rev.
Willis McRorie. formerly of Scotch Plains,
who was acquitted at the last meeting of
the conference Of improper conduct with
a girl of his congregation, but was subse-
quently convicted I'm a criminal court.
He will now he tried for lack Of frankness
i'm dealing with the conference.

WOMENSAYTANGOER
STOLE THEIR RINGS
Cuban Youth, Police Assert, Adj
mitS Theft When Trapped
by One Victim.

Tangolng has other dangers, the police
say, than may come from a slip in dip
on a slippery floor. Several women are
expected at the West Side court this
morning to identify a handsome but
slippery tangoer who slipped away with
their diamond rings.
Raymond VasqUez. twenty-threc years
old, Cuban. whose marking was even
more delightful than his charming man.
ners, according to the women, was ar
rested last night. Vasquez admits taxing
a $50 and a $3.50 diamond ring from the
fingers of two of his fair partners. The
notice assert there are several others
whose diamond rings are gone.
As Vasquez jumped off an Eighth ave
niue streetcar last night he was recoS-
nlzed by Mrs Margaret Cooper or NO
224 West l04th street. Mrs. Cooper trailed
him TO No. $50 West 18TH street and then
Informed the police and Detectives
L'Heraux and Maddox put Nasquez I'M
der arrest, charged with grand larceny
on February IL Vasquez took her to a
tango, Mrs. Cooper said. and on the way
home he admired her $50 diamond ring.
Next morning she lOuilu size was Neetl MS
an imitation ring. not worth 30 cents. SO
she went TO the police at the West 1WtA
street station.
The police described 10 her tall, dark
good looking young man, who sometimes
posed as college student and at other
times as an agent for the New YORK
Central Railroad. Mrs. Cooper recog-
nized the description as that OF Nasquez.
Next day another complaint was made
at the same station. Miss Ethel Davalos.
of No. POI Fifth avenue. said that man
she had met at a dance had taken her
TO dinner at the Hotel Manhattan on
February Il, and next morning she found
on her finger a valueless imitation In
place OF the $3.50 diamond. She gave the
same description OF him.
The detectives say they found on Vas
uuez a number of calling cards, some en-
graved with the names OF Yale. Columbia
and Harvard. while others bore the name
Of the New York Central Railroad. They
say Vasquez confessed he had pawned the
rings and sold the tickets.

whether he thought the examination OF

The High Cost Of Lifting

The diary Of a "forty- Miner" re-
Gently acquired by the Historical So
city, is of especial interest as afford
ing comparison of food prices in the
Golden State sixty years ago, and
those of today, consequent upon the
present European war. The house
wife who groans over the increase in
the cost of sugar from five to eight
or nine cents per pound will find
some consolation in the price which
our argondut paid on ct least one oc-
casion, SIS for ten pounds For twenty
five pounds of crackers be paid the
neat sum of $875, for apples 62 cents
per pound, for raisins 81 cents per
pound, for molasses $25O per gallon,
and for flour 49, cents per pound.
The author of our diary is George
j. Kellogg, of GAINESVILLE, Wisconsin.
Despite the high coat of living in
California4he prospered, and returned
to ''the States" after sojourn of less
than three years, with comfortable
fortune. That hardships and disease,
which shortened the lives of 80 many
"forty-niners, " made little impression
upon Mr.. Kellogg, would seem evident
from the fact that the diary, begun in
1848, lis still in 1914 being continued.
