BIG CONFERENCE
DIR. w. T.. DANIELS, DELEGATE
TO METHODIST MEETING,
TELLS OF WORK.

After having been in attendance at
the quadrennial conference of the
Methodist church at Saratoga
Springs, n. Y, Or. w. T.. Daniels
arrived home yesterday. DR.. Daniels
said the conference was the largest
one ever held by the Methodist Epis-
copal church, and that it was, with
out doubt. the greatest religious
gathering ever held on the western
hemisphere. In the neighborhood Of
20,000,000 Methodists, in various
countries, were represented, the doc
tor told, and the way was paved for
reuniting the Episcopal Methodists
of the north with those of the south.
The two branches of the church have
been separated since 1874. There
were present SAG delegates. The
conference voted to unity the north
and south branches, and the unifica-
tion was c%oncurred in by bishops of
the southern branch, who were pres
ent. DR.. Daniels said that the south
ern bishops told that there was no
doubt but that the union would be

SUFFERS Stroke
MRS. WILLIAM ROWLAND OVER
TAKEN BY PARALYSIS OF
THE RIGHT SIDE.

Fearing that a serious attack OF
illness was about to overtake her.
Mrs. Jennie Rowland. wife of Will
lam Rowland. secretary of the Mer-
chants association. last Saturday aft
ernoon walked from her home ali
sol Egan avenue to that of Mr.. and
Mrs. James w. DAWSON. neighbors,
where she suffered a stroke Of paral-
ysis of the right side. Mrs. Row
lands condition was such, when she
arrived at the Dawson home, that il
was necessary for members of the
family TO assist her into the house
and to a chair. She has no use of
her right side, and it is next to inn
possible for her to articulate. The
physician in charge said today that
her condition is about the same as it
was following the shock.
AT the time Mrs. Rowland was af-
flicted, Mr.. Rowland was down town
attending to details in connection
with the monthly market day sale.
He was reached by telephone and ar
rived at the Dawson residence at
about 3 o'clock, a few minutes after
Mrs. Rowland was taken i'll.
Much sympathy is extended to the
sufferer, who has a wide acquaint-
ance in the city, and has long been
prominent in church work and mus
ical circles.

LONG RUN TO fire
DEPARTMENT MAKES UNNECES.
SARN TIsiP-WELL FILLED
AUTOS IN RACE.

Hundreds of persons, in anywhere
from fifty to seyenty-five automo-
biles. shortly after noon yesterday,
engaged in a wild ride around the
city to find a fire, the location OF
which had been given by the Dakota
Central telephone exchange.
The fire company got its appara-
tus away to an early start, and driy-
e4a OF three OF the dozens of automo-
biles which had assembled yolun-
toered % pull the fire pieces. Chief
James Robertson. of the fire depart
ment. and Chief of Police Grant
Winesburg gave the location of the
blaze as South Harth n When
the first contingent of firemen had
reached the corner of Fifth street
and Harth avenue, a block and a half
east of the fire station, some one
shouted that the fire was in the
north end of the city, and the cars
pulling the fire carts. followed by a
long line of automobiles, blocks long,
turned in the direction of the State
Normal school. Finding no signs of
a fire in the northern part of the
city, the machines ahead, turned
south in Egan avenue, crossing the
Milwaukee railway tracks, and stop
ping at the home of Mrs. Sarah Hur-
ry, South Harth avenue, from where
the alarm had been turned in. When
the firemen arrived. the blaze had
been extinguished by members of the
Hurry household.

able wearing apparel, including two
oyercoats and dresses were ruined,
and walls were scorched and black
ened. Mrs. Hurry said 1t was pos
sible the fire had started when some
one stepped on a match.
A high wind was blowing when
the fire broke out, and had not the
blaze been gotten under control In
the early stages, considerable dam
age probably would have resulted.
Mayor George Waskey said that In
reporting fires. citizens should al
ways give the ward. as well as the
street address. The long run to the
north end of the city yesterday was
partially due to the fact that the
ward number was o given. Had
the ward been known at the tele-
phone central office, Ii would have
been registered on the ward indicator
at the fire station.

HEARING TODAY
WITNESSES SAY STEWART
CLAIMED TO BE IINGTIST
AND INNENTOR-OTH-
ER ALLEGATIONS.

That Alexander Stewart. the
wealthy Lake county farmer. whose
sanity is questioned. repeatedly told
neighbors anu others stories which
gave evidence of an unbalanced
mind, was the burden Of the testi-
mony given in a hearing before the
insanity board this afternoon in the
county courthouse. Witnesses told.
in the early part of the hearing. that
Mr.. Stewart, who was taken into Gus
tody after a long run last Thursday
evening, had told them that he could
talk all languages, including Fiji.
that he understood wireless teleg-
raphy. and that he had invented the
only standard wireless telegraph in
strument in existence.
Deputy Sheriff f. A. Keller de-
seribed the chase which Mr.. Stewart
led county officers last Thursday
night. He said that he had noticed
nothing peculiar in the mans CONVEX
sation.
Sheriff F. w. Butts went over a
portion of conversations, which the
sheriff said took place in the base
ment OF the courthouse Saturday
night and again Sunday night. The
sheriff declared that Mr.. Stewart re-
marked that there was no known
language with which he was not con
versant. The officer related that he
gave the man a German letter to
read, and that Stewart, while pro
tending to read the German. chat
tered in an ~unintelligible manner
The sheriff then told that the dc
PENDANT asserted that a young WON
an in California had flown around
the world in an hour and some min
utes, and that he related having
heard an airship passing over the
city Saturday.
Thomas Peterson, who lives just
across the road from the Stewart
home, said he was riding with Mr..
Stewart recently. when the latter
pointed to a bird that was flying
above them. Mr.. Stewart is alleged
to have remarked that that particu-
lar bird had come from South Amer
lea, and that 1t had required only
about three hours for the bird to
make the flight from the southern
continent. Mr.. Peterson said that
Mr.. Stewart also spoke to him about
the California young woman who had
made the rapid flight around the
earth. At another time. he was al
legged to have told Mr.. Peterson that

he had shot and killed an uncle OF
Mr.. Peterson's farm hand.
About a dozen witnesses in all are
TO be heard. During the taking of
testimony, Mr.. Stewart alternately
bowed his head in assent or shook
his head in derision, as the various
questions were answered. A broad
smile covered his face when wit
nesses told of his claim that he could
speak all known languages. About
100 neighbors and friends of the de
PENDANT came from the country to be
present at the hearing.
