Members OF the Methodist Episcopal
church who play cards, dance and at

able TO expulsion il recommendations
made by a subcommittee OF the gem
eral conference, which has been con-
sidering the question of amusements,
are adopted by the committee on the
state OF the church and later by the
conference. The report was offered TO
the main committee late today and at
ter an acrimonious discussion action
was deferred until Monday.
Bv a vote Of 20 to S the sub commit
tee recommended the elimination from
the book OF discipline of the clause
prohibiting these amusements and OIL
fered as a substitute an additional par
agraph in which warning is made
against the diversions. The effect OF
the proposed change is to remove the
absolute prohibition but to place the
church on record as still strongly OPP
posed to these forms of amusement. A
minority report was submitted advis-
ing the retention OF the paragraph as
it now stands.
1t was maintained by those fayorins
removal Of the restriction that the PEN
atty now provided is not enforced in
any church and that the effect upon
young people will be much greater II a
provision that cannot be enforced Is
withdrawn, and a general warning Is
issued, that the church does not sane
ton dancing, playing at games OF
chance, attending theatres. horse races,

Opposition to the change is based on
the allegation that it means the church

response. He was dragged to the city
hall yard, where the chain, already
around his neck, was thrown over the
limb Of tree. wood piled around him
and the fire started.
After the verdict had been returned

horseback dragged the body through
the principal streets.
What remained of the body was
dragged behind an automobile to Rob
