CONFERENCE TO Be IN
BROADWAY M. P. CHURCH
Decision Made Yesterday. it Having
Been Postponed Since Last Spring.

: Broadway Methodist Protestant
/ Church. Broadway and Monument
s streets. Baltimore. will be the next
meeting place Of the Maryland An
nudl Conference of that denomina-
( ton.
The selection of that church, which
( berame public only yesterday, was
/ ARRANGED 10y the standing district
committee Of the Maryland Confer
/ ence OF which Rev. Dr.. Frank T.
Little. pastor OF Allnutt Memorial
Church. Baltimore, is chairman, ANA
Thomas \. Murray. secretary. The
selection was also made on the basis
of paid entertainment, which obtains
for the first time in the Conference
NJ its next meeting.
When the Conference closed its
sessions last April in Starr MethO-
dist Protestant Church, Baltimore,
there was no invitation on the table
for holding its 1913 session. and the
selection OF the place was left TO the
above committee, and it was given
until the first Of 1918 to make the
selection and it has just completed
its work. The fact that a Baltimore
church was picked will not come as
of Methodist Protestants throughout
the Maryland District, it having been
forecast several months ago, on ac-
count of its central location making
il The most convenient place for the
ministers and delegates. Rev. GIL.
Curry is pastor of the Broadway
Church, and the last conference held
in the church was about eight years
aSo
1t is sinsulariy coincident and
unprecedented in history of the
three Methodist Conferences, at
least within the recollection of some
of the oldest members, that all three
OF the big Methodist Conferences
viii meet in Baltimore and during
I'll esame week. beginning on We'd
nesday, April 3. The reason for all
the conferences being held on the
first week in April is due to the fact
that the last week in March is Eas-
ter Week and the ministers prefer
to be in their pulpits on Easter Sun
day in order to make final adjust
mentS of the affairs of the churches
before leaving for conference.
Rev Dr.. Luther F. Warner will
preside over the Maryland Confer
ence of the Methodist Protestant
Church in the Broadway Church.
Bishop William F. Mcdowell, OF
Washington, will preside over the
Baltimore Conference of the Metho.
dist Episcopal Church to be held in
the Caroline Street Church Balti-
more. Rev. G. Leroy White, pastor
Bishop James Atkins, of Waynes-
boro, y. c., will preside over the
Southern Methodist Conference,
which meets in Central Church, Ed
monson avenue and Stricken street.
Rev Dr. T. j. Lambert is the pastor.

TO CUT DOWN
WOMEN'S SHOES
Delegate Fox Would Limit Height
TO Six Inches.

State House, Annapolis, Jan. 10.
In this day of suffragette picket
ing and with votes for women in the
otfing, Delegate Fox, of Baltimore
city, will show himself a man of
astounding courage and hardihood if
he introduces the bill next week that
he threatens.
The bill is nothing less than an at
tempt to prevent women from wear
ing high-heeled or high-top shoes. 1t
will prohibit any firm or individual
dealer from selling any shoes to
women which have higher heels than
1 IL inches or which have uppers
more than six inches above the heel
Delegate Fox explains that in this
day of conservation the women are
wasting much leather that might be
needed by the army in shoe tops use
lessly high. He says that men wear
shoes with uppers not more than
five inches high, and that women
could very well get along with one
inch more. There is no provision
in the bill as drafted requiring that
skirts be made longer to conform to
the shorter shoe, but there are many
modest and upright men in the Cen
eral Assembly and it is more than
possible that an amendment may be
added to the Fox bill embodying that
point

CAPT. BRIDGES IS
VERY Low In n. Y.
Cape County Representative
Writes He Has Not Long
to Live.

Capt. Harry W. Bridges, officer in
the U. S. army and member of the
Missouri Legislature from Cape Cir.
ardeau County, is seriously i'll in
New York State. In a recent letter
to Miss George, who occupies the
home of Capt. Bridges in this city,
he said his end was drawing near.
He wrote that he was suffering
from Brikt'hs disease, aggravated by
other ailments and that his physici-
ans said he had only short time to
live.
Capt. Bridges has not been in this
city for several months, and during
his last visit, he was in very bad
health. While at the Legislature al
most two years ago, he became ser
iously i'll and his physicians placed
him on strict diet. In his normal
condition, he weighed about 300
pOuiiuS, DuC NIlSH idSl III Giie Sdpe he
had lost almost half of his weight.
The work in the army camp was
too strenuous for him, and when the
troops left for another training camp,
Capt. Bridges was ordered to remain
in Nevada, where he would not be
required to exert himself. He later
became i'll and went to Chicago,
where his condition necame ALARMING.
Mrs. Bridges, who formerly was a
trained nurse, accompanied him from
Chicago to their home in Ncv' York
State.
Capt. Bridges has been confined to
his bed since then and his condition
does not improve. He is well-known
throughout Missouri and has a host
of friends in this county.

RABBIT CASE in
.WILLER'S COURT
SuIIinger Fined For Desiring To
Chastise Reynolds Over
Cotton Tails.

Bunnies pet rabbits which were
Belgian hares, were the instigators
of a considerable lawsuit in Justice
Willer's court yesterday afternoon.
Larkin l.. Sullenger, the Morgan Oak
wood hauler, stood trial on a charge
of disturbing the peace of Burley
Reynolds, truck man for the Energy
Coal Company, his nearest neighbor.
Reynolds said one of the Sullenger
rabbits got in his garden patch on
the afternoon of the disturbance and
he unlimbered a battery of brickbats
and hand-sized stones at the invad-
ing bunnie. The rabbits had been
foraging on his cabbage and other
vegetables, assisted by an old hen
now and then for two years, he said.
He said he intended to slaughter the
offending cotton tail but he shot wild
and it scampered under his house.
Later Mr.. Sullenger, he claimed,
accompanied by his son, called at his
front gate and dared him to come
outside, and on his refusal to accept
his challenge, told him he would catch
him away from home some time. Mr.
Sullenger was talking in loud tone,
he said. He said he was not hunting
for trouble and did not get mad un-
til his belligerent caller left.
Mr.. and Mrs. Will Tiller, Mr.. and
Mrs. Ray Oliver, near neighbors, wit
nesses for the prosecuting witness.
testified they were close by and saw
the men talking but did not hear what
Mr.. Sullenger said. They only saw
him gesticulating a little with his
hands. The two Mrs. Jacksons, mo-
ther and wife of Mr.. Jackson, corro-
borated Mr.. Jackson's testimony.
Mr.. Sullenger took the stand in his
own behalf and said he was 6S years
of age. One of his rabbits, he said
climbed up on its box, and jumped
through hole in the wire fence, goi
in the alley, and he thought, went
through the gate or an aperture in
the fence into Reynolds garden. Lat
er he called, accompanied by his son
| Dewey, to demonstrate with Reynolds
F., for trying to kill rabbits, which he
was raising for home consumption

MISSES GRIMES and
FINNEY: In SERVICE
Cape Red Cross Nurses Write
OF Ruins In War.Ridden
France.

Misses Ethel Grimes and Jclia Fin
ney, the two Cape Red Cross nurses
who arrived in France several weeks
ago, are now believed to be in active
service at the front.
A letter received from Miss Grimes
a few days ago stated that she and
Miss Finney had been travelling over
England and France before entering
active service. They visited cities
that have been under fire of the
heavy guns and viewed the ruins.
They expected to be assigned to du-
ty in American quarters within a
short time she wrote. Her letter was
dated about July Is, when the present
drive started. 1t is presumed by the
relatives of the young ladies that
they entered active service at that
time.

EXPLODING STOVE
CAUSES FIRE CALL
Fire Department Goes to North
Henderson to Find Blaze
Out.

A kerosine oil cook stove exploded
at 351 N. Henderson avenue yester-
day afternoon and an alarm was sent
to the fire department. The firemen
made a quick trip through the rain
and wind storm but when they arriv-
ed at the number found that the
blaze had been put out. The people
living in the house were not at home
at the time and a neighbor removed
a screen from a window, entered 'and
extinguished the blaze which was
confined to the scattered oil. The
stove was left burning it is said and
it is supposed that the wicks got too
high and caused the explosion.

to come out in the open SO he could
argue the case with him. e. 4 ssrs
That was what he meant, he said,
when he told him he would catch him
away from home some time. He
would find a chance to talk the mat

testimony was along the same lines.
At the conclusion of the hearing,
the judge assessed a fine Of one dol
