their superiors may not as unquali-

dictated in statement given to the

The impression here has been all
along that the German military au-

QUESTION
Some Clergymen Favor
Dropping of Preventative
ClauSein Church Discipline
ALSO SPLIT ON
CHURCH MERGER

Looking Toward the General Con-
ference" was the subject OF an inter-
esting paper which was read by the
Rev Or. G. T. Anderson at the meeting
Of Methodist Preachers Association
this morning. Subjects which will
come before the next General Confer
ence, which will be held in Saratoga,
were discussed by DR.. Anderson. He
stated that he favored organic union
between the Methodist Episcopal
Church north and south. but did not
like this done at the price which had
been set. which was the elimination Of
the colored conference affiliated with
the Methodist Episcopal Church.
He stated that he opposed any
change I'm the church discipline IN
regard TO amusements because the
church now has settled policy and
he thought any change might unsettle
this policy.
DIR. Anderson opposed the General
Conference taking any action on wo-
mems suffrage as Il is a legislative
body. and ne did not see how any
legislative action could be taken on
the subject by the church. He also
opposed any change in the ritual OF
the church.
The Rev. DR.. V. S. Collins differed
with DR.. Anderson on the uniop ques-
ton. saying that he favored the union
Of the branches OF the church under
the condition named He also dit.
fered with him on the amusement
question. believing that the church
should drop tho amusement clause
which was inserted in the Discipline
in 1879. and that the church should
advise its members against dances
theatres. card parties and horse races
instead of prohibiting them from in
dulging in such pleasures.
The Rev. S. NJ Morgan. George A
Cooke and George White Dawson
agreed with DR.. Anderson on most o.
the points he raised.

NO TYPHOID IN THE
CITY Water SUPPLY
Commission Tells Central
Union Sickness Is Caused
\ by Other Causes
FAVOR ANOTHER
STORAGE BASIN

The Board of Water Commissioners
TODAY replied to the Central Labor
Unions communication relative to the
condition of the Porter reservoir and the
ause of typhoid fever in Wilmington.
The reply follows;
October 25. 1915
Central Labor Union. Wilmington, Del.
John Rein, Jr., Recording Secretary
Dear Sir: Replying TO your letter OF
the 10th instant. this commission wishes
TO advise you that il is true that Porter
reservoir has not been cleaned since its
erection in l9O6-7 II is also true that
the city should have another storage
reservoir, and this department has under
consideration the erection of same, and
at the last session of the Legislature
was about asking for a bond issue for
that purpose, but an omnibus bill was
suggested which would allow Council to
take care of the situation.
However, this commission is of the
opinion that the condition OF Porter
reservoir has nothing whatever to do
with the typhoid situation, as II is not
a filtered water reservoir, and all the
water from that reservoir is filtered
and sterilized before its delivery to
the public.
We would appreciate it very much
IL your organization will appoint a
committee to confer with the city en-
gineer, who is the chief engineer OF
this department, and Will take pleas
ure in explaining TO them the manner
Of handling the water for the city,
and also our line OF thought with
reference to improving ii.
We also wish to state that we APP
preciate very much your interest in
the matter, and shall. be glad TO
have your cooperation
Yours very truly.
