NEGRO NIETHODTSTS
BALK AT BISHOP RULE
Insurgents at A. M. E. Confer.
ence Refuse to Confirm
Committees

The insurgent delegates attending the
25th quadrennlal general conference of
the African Methodist Episcopal Church
won another victory today when they re-
fused TO confirm the committee appoint
ments made by the bishops.
The trouble started shortly after Bishop
Charles s. Smith opened the sessions. a
continuance from yesterday afternoon.
The appointments of 80 or more commit.
tees were announced and the delegates
settled back in their chairs, the steam
roller" awaiting patiently the ratification
of their carefully selected appointments
Instead of this, however, Prof c. G..
Garrett, one of the leaders of the insurg.
ents rose to object that the laymen of
the church had no representation on the
all.powerful episcopal committee. (which
handles the moneys of the church and
distates it's financial policy.
This objection led to others; conhrma-
tion was refused to the bishops dele. ;ates.
Another issue arose within a few min.
utes. Bishop Levi ]. Coppln, who was
scheduled to deliver the principal address
yesterday afternoon, attempted again at
this juncture. The delegates became un.
ruly to such an extent as to- cause the
postponement of the speech. They re.
fused to hear him without having copies

Mrs. r. T. Stotesbury has refused to

basing her action on the fact. she says,
that George w Norris former director
of Wharves. Docks and Ferries, and
president Of the exposition, had grossly
insulted Mr.. Stotesbury"
Mrs. Stotesbury declared her stand and
made plain her refusal to be associated
with any committee or affair with which
Mr.. Norris was associated was made In
in n letter addressed 20 Mayor Smith,
honorary president OF the exposition.
The report that Mrs. Stotesbury had
revived the feud between the former dl-
rector and her husband descended almost
like a bomb upon the exposition head
quarters yesterday. Mrs. Stotesbury's
attitude In the matter was the subject
of discussion on all sides.
The feud between Mr.. Stotesbury and
Mr.. Norris reached climax last Decem-
ber, when the financier, angered by crit
icisms made by the former director, an
nounced that he would resign from the
Fairmount Park Art Association, unless
Mr.. Norris was ousted from that or
ganlzation.
Although Mrs. stotesbury did not go
into details in regard to the Insulting Of
Mr.. Stotesbury" by Mr.. Norris, 1t was
recalled that the former director In his
speech in the Academy of Music on tran
sit last December said that "men higher
up" were behind the ordinance TO defeat
the transit plans of A Merritt Taylor
Il call upon the heads of the Rapid
Transit Company 20 disown the Finance
Committees ordinance and request the
passage Of the Transit Departments or
dinance," Mr.. Norris said at that time.
''1f they do not do this they cannot object
to the growth of the already well-dehned
suspicion that in this case Councilmen and
Organization leaders are not the orig
inators of the scheme for rake-off in
which the transit company is reluctant
partner. but are rather the catspaws in
far more infamous plan to betray the
public interests for private gain"
Mr.. Stotesbury. who was at Palm Beach
at the time, wired Mayor rBlankenburg de-
manding retraction. Mr.. Norris, in re-
ply said that he did not mention Mr..
Stotesbury's name, but merely referred to
the Rapid Transit Company. Mr.. Stotes-
bury's letter to Mr.. Miller about MEM
bership in the Fairmount Park Art Asso-
citation never has been acted upon.
Mr.. Norris said today that he had not
heard of Mrs Stotesbury's letter and did
not know that she had been asked to serve

CHEMISTS QUESTION
PRACTICAL VALUE OF
GASOLINE SUBSTITUTE
Claim of Two New Yorkers Re-
garded With Skepticism by
Experts Who Call Com
positions Dangerous
FIND COST PRoH1B1T1vE

The claim OF two New Yorkers to have
invented substitutes for gasoline are not
taken seriously by Philadelphians conver-
SAINT with the situation, both from prac-
tlcal and theoretical viewpoints,
One Of the Inventions, which was later
sold to the company headed by Sir Hiram
Maxim, inventor of the gun bearing his
name, at reported cost of f1,O00,000, has
a composition which is not known; the
other bases its success on generating hy-
drogen by the union Of water and a chem
lcal Both plans visualize q motor run
ming smoothly on hydrogen generated on
the car.
The formula that has not as yet been
sold combines one part Of ammonia, three
parts of water and one part Of metallic So
dunn to produce 10 parts Of hydrogen, the
hydrogen passing into the cylinders and,
mixing with the air, Is exploded by n
spark, with the result that the hydrogen
is reduced to water, nitrogen and other
gases, while the water passes out Of the
exhaust In a vapor no more noticeable
than the surrounding air.
U. OF p. CHEMIST SMILES.
Dr. Walter C. Taggart, professor Of
chemistry at the University OF Pennsyl-
vania, smiled when questioned about the
invention. He said that unquestionably
hydrogen could be generated according
to the formula, but he also pointed out
that the cost of materials would outweigh
the present high cost of gasoline.
First" said Doctor Taggart. ammo
MIA must be produced; water, Of course,
costs nothing, but metallic sodium is not
only expensive but dangerous, and while
IL Is true that sodium Is the principal
ingredient in common salt, the energy re-
quired to separate It from the other sub
stances with which It Is combined would
be greater than the energy derived from
the hydrogen which 1t would generate.
'Acetylene gas" he continued, gen
Grated from carbide will run a specially
constructed engine, but there is great risk
and danger in the operation. In generat-
ing hydrogen from sodium the danger is
about 10 times as great and the cost in
each instance practically prohibitive. So
carefully has metallic sodium to be
handled in the laboratory that we do not
allow students to use 1t without utmost
precauton. / would not advise any one
to depend on this formula as a cheap
substitute for gasoline"
