METHODIST WOMEN
WIN 40 YEARS. FIGHT
Southern Church Grants Them Full
Lay Membership by 0verwhelm-
ingly Large Vote.

ATLANTA, Ga, May 14.-After forty
years of effort women of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South have been
granted, by action OF the general con-
ference, full lay membership in the
church.

ut is not in harmony with the spirit

to elect a woman a steward, ana
woman may be elected a superintendent

laws.
The measure passed is practically the
same which was presented BY the
women's missionary council at the gem
leral conference in 1914 and then de-
feated by a vote of los to III. In their
petition the women asked that all re-
strictions against them be removed
from the discipline; that the word lay
men" be interpreted to include women.
and for recognition and privileges
which are inherent with membership.
While it was practically certain that
the women would win, surprise was eN-
pressed that the viva voce vote IN their
favor was so overwhelmingly large.
Last minute efforts to block the vote.

lost through the ruling of Bishop E. D.
Mouzon, who refused to sustain point
of order based on a technicality on the
ground that the point should have been
taken previous to the debate. An eff
fort to have the vote taken by orders,
preachers and laymen separately also
failed.
Most of the debate conferred on the
efforts to secure for women special rep
resentation on the board Of missions.
The conference, however, sustained the
committee in it's opinion that women
should not be extended "laity rights
plus" but should really be placed on
the same footing as men. The mission
board is composed of ten preachers and
twenty laymen. The women claim the
term "laymen" now will include them
on the board.

SUPPLY IS CUT
Amateur Base Ball to Be Seriously
Affected by Embargo on Sale
of Horsehide.

Base ball has received a severe blow
through the PRONUNCIATION of an order
which will cut off the supply of horse
hides. SO essential to the great Amer
lean pastime.
The hide and leather control board
announces that in order to supply the
Army with the necessary green sailed
domestic horsehides suitable for glove
leather all stock must at once be re-
ported to that body. 1t is not the pur-
pose of the government to at once as
sumo control of the industry, but a no.
tice has been sent to all tanners and
all handlers of green horsehides to re-
port their holdings. Owners and ham
dlers of the hides are ordered to allow
the same to move freely through the
ordinary channels Of collection to the
tanneries. All future ALLEGATION in the
material will be at the direction of the
hide and leather control board
All the professional base ball lea gues
are understood to have anticipated the
embargo on the sale OF hides for base
ball covers and base ball gloves and the
order will have no appreciate effect on
the national pastime this year.
1t will be a serious blow to the ANA
teur base ball organizations which have
not the stocks to carry them over the
present season. 1t may operate to kill
the sport entirely next year.

James brought suit for damages al
legged to have been caused to his cot

hood line. which he alleged caused his
property to overflow. The supreme
court held that the claim of James
was not specific, and failed to show
specifically how his plantation had

evidently been based both on damage
