NEGRO METHODIST
 WOMEN IN SESSION

The negro Methodist women of Alabama are in session at the Metropolitan A M. E. Zion church, corner Fourth avenue and Sixteenth street. Delegates from all sec tions of the state and demonina tional leaders throughout the country are in at- tendance. Dr. J. w. Wood of Indian apolis, Mrs. Daisy Johnson, national lec- turer Mrs. Ada L. M. Hall, national or ganizer and number of presiding elders were among the number.
 After the devotional exercises, con secration meeting was conducted by Mrs. L. NJ. Carter and Mrs. J. F. Fitzpatrick. Bishop Alstock, the presiding bishop, made an address. Among others who dis cussed the work of the denomination were William Montgomery, M. c. Glover, J. V. Cutledge, W. l.. Edge, W. s. Dacon, c. J. Stevenson, T. R. Gaines, and others. The reports of the general officers were highly encouraging. It was shown that much good was being done in the matter of quieting the unrest and in reaching the newcomers. As regards the mission in, Africa, nearly 1000 members were re- ported. It was announced that it was planned to raise 5000 for local diocesan work
 Paul as a Missionary was the sub- ject of the address of Dr. T. J. Moppins, which was one of the features of the meeting. The Rev. w, s. Dacon also preached an important sermon Addresses of welcome were made by Mrs. S. L. Stevenson of Bessemer, Mrs. T. J. Mop pins of Birmingham, and the response was by pr. William Findley of Mont Gomery.

BIRMINGHAM PLEDGES
 HER LOYALTY IN MASS AND PARADE
tContinued from Page Five,

demonstrated in England that army of 2,000 coo men could not be raised by
 volunteers alone, and that conscription
 was necessary, and that he was behind
 the President in working for the passage of this bill. Under the conscription plan,
 he stated that 1t would not be any re- flection upon the ones who stayed be- hind and worked in the factories or the intuition plants or any other position to help his country should he be unable, on account of some physical defect, to meet the requirements of the army. The men who worked in these places would have as much honor as the selected men who were chosen to defend the honor and glory of our country. He stated that he did not believe that there was mother or father if it took their only son, who would hesitate in sending him to the bat tlefield to fight for freedom and right. This is the greatest crisis that ms nation has ever confronted, he said, and that there is but one leader, one flag and
 one chief on the battlefield and that is the President of the United States, and that we were not fighting a second rate power,
 but that We were fighting the greatest military power of the world. He said that the flag of this country had been insulted time and again and that it would be redeemed and tbat the government of the United States would empty it's treasury and sacrifice every life to uphold the honor of our flag and to bring about peace. Senator Underwood stated that he would stand behind the President un- til the United States was victorous and that in doing so he felt that he was do- ing his duty as representative of the

STILLMAN-KELLEY CONDUCTS
 SYMPHONY AT BIENNIAL
By KENNETH S. CLARK Of the Editorial Sfn if of Musical America

Realizing the ideals of the National
 Federation of Musical clubs in the
 matter of encouraging American conf
 posers, last nights concert at the Jef-
 ferson theatre brought forth one of
 the most admirable of natives sym
 phonic works, the New England"
 symphony of Edgar Stnlman- K elley.
 The symphony is dedicated to
 MT. and Mrs. Carl Stoeckel. the well
 known music patrons of Norfolk, Conn.
 and it received its first performance at
 the Norfolk festival on June 3, 1913.
 It was first performed in Germany on April 27, 1914. by the Altenburg Court
 orchestra. Since then it has been per formed frequently in Europe, while in
 this country it has been given b. the
 Boston Symphony, the Cincinnati. San
 Francisco, Minneapolis and St Louis
 orchestras.
 MT. Kelley holds a fellowship from
 the Western Oxford College for Women
 at Oxford, O. This requires merely that
 he devote himself to creative work,
 and there at Oxford he has his cot tage, which is his workshop Thus he is placed in an atmosphere conducive to creative inspiration similar to that
 which is sought at the Mcdowell col
 ony at Peterborough, as Mrs. Mac
 Dowell related at the publicity lunch con yesterday afternoon. MT. Kelley
 has been devoting one day a week to
 teaching at the Cincinnati Conserva-
 tory, but this year Mrs. Kelley has
 been doing that work for him. as he IS engaged upon a large choral com : position for the Cincinnati festival Re- centIy the composer received the de- gree of doctor of laws from Miami unl- versity.
 few years ago the Stillman- Kelley Puolicat1on society was formed by several public spirited persons with Mrs. Ella May Smith, chairman of the federation's American music commit t-
 tee, as it's president. It's purpose was to make possible the publication of tue orchestral scores of MT Kelley's
 works. Four of his symphonic compo- sitions were scheduled for publication but after the New England" Sym phony and the "Alladin" had been is- sued MT. Kelley insisted that the so- ciety's help be given to his fellow American composers. wherefore 1t has been decided to issue a work by Ar thur Farwell, who addressed the fed eration Wednesday afternoon.
 In the appearance of Mir Kel- ley to conduct his symphony last night Birmingham greeted an American com - poser of artistic eminence and sterling personal qualities. The high school children had been prepared for the hearing of the "New England" by a study of the purpose and of the themes of the work

would be chosen by ballot from the floor by the delegates.
 J. O. Prude, attorney. of Amory. Miss, led the fight to have the com mittee named by the chair, while Judge J. c. Thweatt of Arkansas led the fac tion supporting the idea to elect the committee.
 After numerous slxirmishes a battle royal was waged in open session, the majority faction led by MT Prude eventually winning out.
 This bout was preliminary to later skirmish, wherein an attempt was made to name the route in the com mittee without going out as scouts to locate a permanent route.
 The committee on resolutions named by the chairman was: c. o. Heron, South Carolina; Dr. J. H. Dorrah Mis- sissippi; J. E. Vaughn, Arkansas; C. M. Vanstary, North Carolina; T. r. Monday, Georgia; F. W. Hall, Tennes- see; Marion Pierce, Alabama.

TENTATIVE GRANT
 OF INCREASE RATES
 MADE ID RAILROADS
Shippers Will Be Given Hearing and Order May Be Withdrawn If
 Unreasonable

Washington, April 19,-AH railroads were granted tentative permission by the
 interstate commerce commission to file supplemental tariffs increasing freight rates generally 15 cents. effective June l. next
 In this manner the commission disposed of the question of procedure in dealing with the application of the roads in every section for general increases. Two courses had been open-to permit the filing of such tariffs and investigate their reasonableness prior to the date they should go into effect, or to permit the filing of tariffs effective immediately and suspend them during the period of the investigation.
 The commissions order is tentative, subject to recall or change prior to the effective dates of the rates. In this way the commission brings the issue squarely before the railroads and the shippers in definite form. Hearings will be begun tomorrow at which time each side will be given an opportunity to state it's views and full investigation of the proposed increases seems likely before
 the commission issues it's final finding.
