 Peace Or Monday
ASSOCIATED PRESS prsPArcH1


 OKLAHOMA CITY, May 15.-Speciai prayer for the success of the mediation conference at Niagara Falls. looking to adjustment of defferences between the United States and Mexico will be offered next Monday by the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church south in session here
 The day was set apart today after an address by Bishop Alpheus w. Wilson. the senior bishop who asked "all our people to observe the day as a day of prayer that the representative of all governments engaged may be led by the spirit of God to such conclusion as will make peace between the United States and Mexico"
 The conference probably will deter mine next week whether it will con- tinue it's efforts to exercise control over Vanderbilt University at Nash vile, Tenn, or to establish another representative institution.
 The majority report of the special committee of the Methodist Episcopal church south, on Vanderbilt University controversy, submitted to the general conference today it recommends ar engagements be made to establish a new theological school and university. The minority report holds that an effort should be made to bring about more cordial relations between Vanderbilt University and the church.

NOW ANTITRUST LEGISLATION |S
 TC BE STARTED
Formal Steps Will Be Taken Today to Begin Work on Administration Measures With Early Debate Sched- uled
ASSOCIATED PRESS pIsPATcHl

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Formal steps to start the administration anti trust legislation through congress rules committee when it meets to formulate a special rule for the ex- petition of the passage of three bills which make up the antitrust pro gram" House leaders do not expect to have the rule brought before it before Tuesday, but its adoption is assured, and it seemed probable to- night that general debate on the antitrust bills will begin during the week.
 House leaders are interested in the report that in case the senate finds 1T impossible to put through all the trust legislation the house will pass, and get away from Washington about July 15, an effort will be made to effect compromise, and put through part of this legislation, and go home.
 According to this plan, the senate would provide for nothing further than the creation of an interstate trade commission, with authority to investigate the interlocking director ate holding companies, stock owner ship in competitive concerns. railway capitalization and kindred subjects, and make a report at the next ses- sion of congrtss.
 There are many democratic sena- tors who are convinced the senate cannot hope to put through the sub committees trust bill inside of two months at the least The tolls ex- emption repeal debate, probably will not be out of the way before May 24 when democratic leaders expect a vote, and there are eight appropria- ton bills which the senate has not even had look at yet to be taken up and passed.
 Senator Kern said he expected soon to put the senate on night sessions, but even with doubling the time of the days work and the addition of the antitrust legislation to the pro- gram, the problem is bound to put the adjournment many weeks in the future.
