 SARATOGA SPRINGS. N. Y. May 3.-Reports of the progress of the Alcoholism in China, Corea and Ja- pan were presented to the Methodist Episcopal general conference tonight by two of the missionary represen- tatives of the churches w S. Lewis for China and M. c. Harris, for Korea and Japan.
 The general outstanding need in China, Bishop Lewis said, is for a standardized and efficient educational system. the government he declared is SO burdened by indemnity taxation. the upbuilding of an army and navy absolutely necessary for the defense of the nation and so occupied in the labors incident to the inauguration of representative government that it has neither time or money to organize an educational system.
 Bishop Harris described the growth of the Japanese Methodist church which now has a membership of 15,- S37 a gain of 25 per cent in the past four years.
 In Korea the native Methodists number 44,390. a four fold increase in twelve years.
 At the business session today the committee on finance in it's report recommended that budget system be instituted to cover each four year period and that the several benevolent bodies be unified in an effort to pre- vent unnecessary expenditure of money and duplication of effort. Since the conference in 1912 the church has raised S15S.000.00O, eighty-nine per cent of which was expended for church building. pastoral support and current expenses.
 Some little furry was caused by the introduction of a resolution ex- pressing regret because of the wines supposed to be served at dinners al the White House. The resolution would have the conference appeal tC President Wilson to abolish the wine cup for all functions over which he has control' and would request tn. president to endorse and suppor pending measures for nation wid, prohibition. It was introduced by Rev. James W. Anderson of Oregon Mo. and was endorsed by all delegates from the Missouri conference. Tni resolution was referred without com ment to the committee on temper ance. to which also was referred an other Missouri resolution to reqUir the great national political conven tions to incorporate prohibition plank in the platforms of their re spective parties.

Governor Hunt Sends Cop
 ies of Favorable Letters
 Received From Various Business Organizations From All Over the State

It was announced at the governors office yesterday that definite plans had been made for the meeting in Phoenix on the 17th of this month, of representatives of the various busi ness organizations throughout the state, for the purpose of formulating plans and devising ways and means to invite and bring to Arizona represen- tatives of big eastern business cen cerns.
 The project has been under way for some time. The governor who has been strong for the project all along, was asked by several business orgaLiZa- tions to sound out the sentiment throughout the state. With this end in view he wrote to practically every board of trade and chamber pf com merce in the state, asking for eXpIes- sions of opinion on the matter. Up to yesterday he had received .favorablt replies from practically every organ ization written to. All the let CTS are highly enthusiastic over the matter and promise their hearty cooperation
 The governor had copies made of all ! the letters sent in, and mailed them to John F. Myers. secretary of the State Board of Trade, at Tucson. In his let | ter, Gov. Hunt called attention to tho

DOUGLAS, Ariz., May 3-General P. Elias Gales. military governor of Sonora, confirmed the report that Adolfo De La Huerta had been ap- pointed by Venusitiano Carranza to be the civil governor of Sonora. This step, Gales said, was taken at his, Gales, suggestion.
 The duties of commander in- chief of the large army now in Sonora have been so enlarged recently that for almost a month he has been un able to give attention to his guber material functions.
 General Gales said that he recom- mended De La Huerta for the posi- tion because of the fact that he and De La Huerta are good friends, per sOnally, while the new appointee is also a warm advocate of the radical policies which Gales has fathered since his accession to power.
 There may be a modification of some of his policies, among them the 1 strict prohibition law. General Gales said. But there will be no great change. All of Gales appointees, il was said, would be retained in office
 General Gales received a permit from General T. F. Davis, on instruc- tions from General Funston, permit ting Gales to travel through the United States to Fl Paso to joir General Obregon. The general stated that he expected to remain from ter to fifteen days in southern Mexico then will return to Sonora to give his entire attention to military mat ters During his absence and unti the arrival of Governor De La Huerta, Sonora affairs will be ad- ministered by Enrique Moreno, sec retary of state.

 Latterly, when the Chinese have been subjected to such grave indig- mites by the Sonora government, his duties in this connection have been manifold and very complex.

 WASHINGTON, May 3.-Advocates of the Shields water power bill, pend- ing in congress. won their fight in the national conservation congress to- day when the congress voted to adopt majority committee report .endors- ing the measure. Clifford Pinchot, who at the last congress three years ago defeated a proposal somewhat similar vainly opposed today's action Charges that the convention was backed by the power interests were made and denied.
 The vote, 116 to 39, came after the divided committee report had been de- bated all afternoon. The minority re- port opposed endorsement of any leg islation and demanded a declaration of principles holding that power sites should be retained by' the government. and that all water power development should be under public control
 The Pinchot delegates charged that the congress had been called to create sentiment favorable to the Shields and w. SiS 'hiS' eiu tllttL IL ulu iOI rep resent the true conservation sentiment of the country. MT Pinchot declared special interests were trying to mould the congress into a lobby for water power legislation.
 This shows to what lengths the in- terests are prepared to go to further legislation to serve their own partic- ular interests" he said. This con- gross should represent the real con- servationists who want legislation which will do the most for the public good and will serve the purposes of nJ special set of men,"

WASHINGTON, May 3-Secretary Daniels today transmitted to Repre- sentative Butler of Pennsylvania, rank ing republican member of the house naval committee, a report of the gen eral board of the navy showing that because of lack of information regard ing additions to European navies since the war began, it is impossible to state what tonnage and personnel program would be necessary to re- establish the United States in second place among the worlds sea powers:
 The board included in it's report a survey of the fleets or the principal powers as they stood on July l, 1914, most of the information of which was given by Rear Admiral Benson in his testimony before the naval committee.
 The report says there is no authen- tic data available as to the number of types of ships that have been added to belligerent navies since the out | break of the war, although it is cer- tain that all these nations have been l building to the extent of their capacity. As to personnel, the report says, the ] OHly DoSSlllNt IS .lIldI Great Britain votes an increase of 10000 men in the active personnel of her fleet.
 Representative Butler had specified that the program which he outlined was one that would put the navy in second place in three years. The report says that according to it's best information the country now is equipped to begin building simultaneously within six months five dreadnaughts. five battle cruisers, nine scout cruisers. twenty two destroyers and an unlimited num- Der of submarines.
 The report points out that the available supply of skilled labor, now undetermined, can control in a large manner, any plan to speed up the build ing program.
 Mir Butler had asked for a state ment also as to when the American navy dropped from second place.
 The United States lost second po- sition," the report says, because il did not build ships and provide per sonnel to meet the well known building program of the nation now second 1T naval strength" and refers to "tht German laws of 1898 and 1900.

 We have keenly felt the need of legislation as suggested by you, in

The plan which Betts advanced was pass a law requiring all car riers to prefer under charges within a certain time, preferably sixty days This would alleviate the practice en- gagged in by lots of the roads of com ing down on a merchant and claiming that they had charged him too little on a bill of goods. when it had been sold months previously.
 As a distinct and fragrant case of this practice MT. Betts received the following letter yesterday from the Pueblo Commercial club:
