SCHOLARSHIPS ARE
 AWARDED ID TWO
BOwden and Miss Berry Will Go to Peabody College
 for Teachers

Montgomery, May 2.-(Special)-Super- intendent of Education William F. Fea- gin today announced that the two Ala bama scholarships at the George Pea body college for teachers for the sum- mer quarter of 1916 have been awarded to Grover c. Bowden of Coffee county, and Miss Louise Berry of Mobile county.
 Considerable interest was manifested in these scholarships, there having been more than 50 applicants.
 Among the conditions which the college ruled should govern the award of the scholarships were graduation from nor- maj school. college, university, agricul- tural school, or scientific school. and the agreement to remain throughout the en- tire summer quarter and to fulfill all the requirements for credit in not less than two courses
 The interest in these scholarships is typical of the prevailing attitude on the part of the teachers in Alabama for pro- fessional training, and the attendance at the summer sessions of all our institu- tions of higher learning will undoubtedly be record breaking. This is due in part to the increase in professional pride on the part of teachers and to the encourage ment of our new law which authorizes the state board of examiners to issue and extend teachers certificates upon attain- ment of certain professional standards.

CONGRESS OF THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH Representatives of Differ ent Parties in Church
 Express Views

Norfolk, Va. May 2.--The Episcopal church in the United States opened it's third annual congress here tonight with churchmen from all parts of the coun- try in attendance. Rev. Dr. Charles Lewis Slattery of New York is general chairman of the congress, which will be in session throughout Friday The con- gress was formed to allow exchange of views by those representing different par ties in the church.
 Discussion tonight centered about the question whether miracles are an essen tial part of the Christian religion. Sew eral definitions of miracle were pre- sented. Rev. Dr. George c. Foley of the Philadelphia divinity school said that miracles were simply the revelation of the divine will and the natural action of powers of a spiritual nature Dr. Foakes-Jackson, dean of Jesus college Cambridge, said the three great miracles were the Virgin birth of Jesus Christ, the feeding of the 5000 and the resurrec- tion.
 Prof. w. M. Urban of the faculty of Trinity college, Hartford, Conn, said the continuance of life of Christianity seemed to be independent of signs and wonders and that even the miracles of the gospel seemed to be sinking more and more into the background in spiritual teachings Bishop A. M. Randolph of the diocese of Virginia, opening the congress, requested prayers for the spirit of unity"

LABOR SITUATION IS
 MORE COMPLICATED
Samuel GOmpers Personally to Supervise Work of
 Gotham Strikers

New York. May 2-Developments which further complicated the labor situation in New York. Brooklyn, Jersey City and other nearby points have assumed a more acute stage, and it was announced tonight that Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor probably would come here personally to supervise the action of the many thou sands of workers who are on strike. In- terest today centered in, the walkout of employees in the cloak, suit and skirt in- dustry and the strike of the tugboat and lighter engineers and fifemen, although dissension between employees and employ CTS in other industries was reported to have spread
 A new aspect of the strike in the cloak suit and skirt industry was presented tonight when it said that approximately 100OO workers not identified with the union probably would be forced out of work These are the stenographers. mod els and designers employed in the big manufacturing establishments.
 Leaders among the 30,00O wor~ers wno were locked out by their employees as a result of the union demands have pre- pared to begin active picketing of 40y shops here tomorrow. At the headquar- ters of the union it was asserted that the employees in 1900 independent shops would join the strike tomorrow, bringing the total number of men and women out of work in this industry alone to about 60,000. Although there was no dis order the strike of the tugboat and lighter engineers and firemen became more critical owing to the congestion of shipping and freight movements.
 Liners arriving here today did not ap- pear to experience much difficulty in docking despite the fact that more than 700D tugboats are idle.
 Fifty freight steamships among them vessels laden with munitions for the en- tente allies were anchored down the pay here tonight for lack of tugboats to take them to sea
 The Lehigh Valley railroad today joined the New York, New Haven and Hart ford and the New York Central in acced- ing to the strikers wage scale Two hun dred men attached to the 27 tugs of the railroads stopped work, but soon after wards returned.

NEGRO WOUNDED ON
 CAPITOL GROUNDS
Thomas Reid Struck by Bullet Fired by Unknown Person-Believed to
 Have Been an Accident

Montgomery May 2.-(Special.) .)-Mys- tery surrounds the shooting on the capi- tol grounds today of Thomas Reid, ne. bullet fired by some unknown person Reid was walking in front of the capitol near the steps of the statehouse when loud report was heard. A moment later the negro cried out that he had been shot, and leaned on companion with whom he was walking, for support
 Capitol watchmen at once went to the the servants room of the capitol. The police were immediately notified and he was taken in the police ambulance to headquarters.
 The shooting is shrouded in the deepest mystery. Neither Reid nor his compaiou was armed, and the presumption is that ne was struck by a stray bullet prob- ably fired from one of the small negro houses facing the capitol on Bainbridge street, between Dexter and Washington avenues. Another theory advanced is that a small boy in the neighborhood may have been practicing with a rifle when the gun exploded, the bullet find ing lodgment in Reid's hip
 A casual examination of Reids injury showed that he was slightly hurt and. unless complications develop he will probably recover from the effects of the wound in a few days
 NO arrests have been made in connec- tion with the shooting although the po- Ice have been making diligent effort to Ind the person who fired the shot It is generally believed that the shooting was an accident

AGED MINISTER'S
 WELL CARED FOR
Methodist Church Spent Over Million Dollars on
 Them in 1915

Saratoga Springs, N. Y, May 2.-More than sl,2Oo.OOO was paid by Methodist Episcopal church during 1915 toward the support of superannuated and retired ministers and the widows of ministers This fact was shown in the report pre- sented by the board of conference claim ants to the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal churches today
 The amount required annually to meet the legal claims of the entire church is about $l 800 0o0 the report said Tn 1908, methodism was paying seoo,ooo of these claims, leaving shortage of sl,2O0. .00C for which no provisions was made, but in 1915 the church paid s1, 225, 226, and today Is facing the joyful problem of providing an additional annual income of $600, ,O0C so that methodism may be clear on the books"
 The principal event of the conference tonight was a reception of two fraternal delegates, the Rev. Herbert B. Workman, principal of Westminster Training col lege, London, who represented the British Wesleyan church, and the Rev pr. James Endicott of Toronto delegate of the Methodist church of Canada.
 After two ballots, taken without result in the contest for conference secretary in succession to the Rev Dr. Joseph B. Hungeley of Chicago, the Rev. Dr. Ed win Locke of Topeka, Kas. was elected by exclamation upon the suggestion of the other candidates
 The Rev. MT. Workman asserted that lasting peace in Europe could never be brought about without the aid of the United States and declared that this coun- try had much in common with Great Britain. The European war, he said, would result in great good for this coun- try. Methodist churches in England, the speaker said, had been emptied of their young men, 300 candidates for the minis- try being in the trenches
 Dr. Endicott. speaking for Canada, de- clared that his countrymen had never suffered as they are now, but said Can- ada would cheerfully continue to pay the price of war until satisfactory peace was arranged.

PULS|ON BILL ID BE INTRODUCED IN
 PARLIAMENT TODAY
Asquith Says General Con- sent of Nation Has Been Obtained and Cabinet
 Has Agreed on Bill

London, May 2.-Premier Asquith announced today to an expectant par liament that the government had at least agreed on the much disputed re- cruiting question and had decided to military compulsion for the duration of the war
 The premier claimed that the condi- tion he had all along stipulated as the only justification for such step. namely, general consent of the nation. now had been obtained. as proved by the speeches delivered in the House of Commons last week. when a bill pro- viding for the extension of military service was introduced by Walter Hume Long, president of the local gov- ernment board and later was with drawn f.t
 MT Asauith added that the minis ters agreed that the needful could not be obtained by the existing machinery but that they were available and could be really spared from the industries essential for the successful prosecution of the war. Having given interesting details of the nations success in it's prOdig1ouS effort in raising 10000 men for the army and navy the pre- mier expressed confidence that the bill proposed would end once for all, the prolonged controversy and, in gem eral statement of the war situation, challenged the House to indicate if the government had lost the country's con- fidence.
 The debate which followed the pre- mier's speech showed that the bill is likely to have a speedy passage, as it met with general approavl. A number of liberal and labor members, how ever, said in effect that the bill was not justified. They contend that the government had geen gradually driven from point to point by the conscrip- tionist press and that military neces- sities had nothing whatever to do with the governments giving way.
 The bill will be introduced tomorrow and it is understood, will contain no suepensory clause
 The labor party is about equally di- vided for and against the bill The Irish nationalists will stand aloof and take no part in the division. There is no hint of any cabinet resignations or of the labor members of the ministry seeding.
 Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster leader, during the course of his speech said he would not lend himself personally to any attack with regard to the Meso- potomian campaign, as he believed that all departments were responsible for it.
 Sir John A. Simon, the former home secretary, declared that no case had been made out of the extension of com pulsion to the rest of the community.
