METHODIsTs SUPPORT NATHAN.

Resolutions eondemning what was
termed as an attempt to boycott the
Panama Exposition unless the King
of Italy should withdraw his appoint
ment of Ernest Nathan former Mayor
of Rome, as the Italian representative
to the exposition. were adopted at the
meeting of the Methodist Preachers
Association this morning. The reso-
lutions, which we're adopted unani-
mously, we're as follows:
Whereas, There is evidence that
the Roman Catholic hierarchy is or
ganizing a national boycott on the
Panama Exposition, growing out of
the appointment of Mayor Ernest Ma
than, of Rome, to represent the Ital-
ian government at the exposition and,
Whereas, The ground Of opposi-
tion TO Mr.. Nathan is that he has been
guilty of certain alleged insults TO
the Pope of the Catholic church, and
Whereas, the King of Italy has the
right to appoint a non-Catholic to
represent his government; therefore,
be 1t resolved.
First, That we denounce this
threatened and attempted boycott as
evidence of an unpatriotic spirit;
Second, That we call upon the
rank and file of the Roman Catholic
patriotic citizens to join the great
body Of patriots in ignoring this at
tempted dictum of American affairs
by the Italian hierarchy.
Resolutions were also adopted
praising Judge Philip Q. Churchman
for his decisions in the liquor cases
before City Court last week. and also
commencing Frank +. Haley, of the
Law and Order League, for his ac-
tivities in the cases.
