Council Aims to Unite
Dual Methodist Church
Conference to Take Place To.
day in Edifce in Which
Split Was Created
Special Correspondence


LOUISVILLE, Jan. 13.-In the same
church where the Methodist Episcopal
Church was split into Northern and
Southern organizations in 1916, a COM
mittce of eminent Methodists of both
churches will meet tomorrow in an
endeavor to reunite the two wings.
The meeting will be in the Fourth
Avenue Methodist Church and will last
for four or five days. Bishop W. r. Nc
powell, of Washington, will head the
Northern church representatives and
Worth district, will head the Southern.
According to Louisville Methodist
ministers, reuniting of the churches
probably will be effected Should they
come to an agreement the question then
will be referred to the church general
conferences for ratification.
Slavery was the indirect cause of the
breach. The wife of Bishop Andrews,
Of Georgia, owned slave rirl in lS44
Methodist Episcopal congregations in
the North contcnded that this should
cause has removal. Southern branches
of the church held that the Bishop was
appointed by the church conference
and therefore could not be removed,
since he was appointed for life. The
Northern and Southern factions parted
on that issue. Two years later the
Methodist Episcopal Church South was
formed.
Three months ago meeting of a
subcommittee was held at Richmond,
Va, when tentative agreement look
ing to reunion was reached
The Methodist Episcopal Church has
a membership Of 100000, according to
the Rev. Mr.. Thompson, and the Meth
odist Episcopal Church South has a
membership Of 100000.

of whisky and one quart bottle of gin
were emptied into the wash basin in the
Office of the Maryland AntiSaloon
League to-day by George W. Crabbe,

Care was taken to prevent the office
employees from being Influenced by
the aroma which the spirits gave off
as they departed.
Mr.. Crabbc assured himself in ad-
vance that the pipe by means Of which
the ardent spirits found it's way to the
sewer had not been tapped by any one
on the floors below
The liquor, it was said, was acquired
in the course Of getting evidence
against law violators. The gin has
been in the safe in Mr.. Crabbe's office
since the days when William II. An
derson was head of the Anti-Saloon
League in Maryland. After February
it will be unlawful for any man to
have liquor anywhere except in his own
home, as illegal for the Anti-Saloon
League to have it in a safe or office

Strange Malady Invading
West Is winter Cholera
Special Correspondcncc

"'pectut COTeSpO1tncnc'
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. 13.-Thc
mysterious malady which has been
spreading rapidly over Oklahoma and
through parts of Kansas has been dag
noscd IN the former state by the State
Board Of Health as winter cholera"
In Topeka, where there are more than
900 cases, the city health officer saws
1t is an infection, but that is as far
as he will go. The cause Of the trouble
seems to be as mysterious as the dis
ease. Thus far ony tour deaths have
been reported from the malady, all Of
them in Skiatook, Okla, where it's
prevalence was first noticed.
A popularity of the disease in To-
pcka is that while more than 1000
cases have appeared in the south side
OF the city, there is not case in
North Topeka. More children are re-
ported away from school there than
at any time since the influenza cpl
demc year ago.
Inc disease seems to affect both
children and older persons equally
there, while in Kansas City, where a
similar epidemic has been noted, only
children have been i'll.
The Oklahoma State Board of Health
says similar ma adv swcnt that a1e
IN 1915. The members of the board
blame the heavy SHOWS throughout
Oklahoma this winter for the disease
They predict typhoid epdemic will
follow in the wake Of the winter chol-
era" as it did in 1915.
The malady, in many cases, is not
severe enough to keep persons in bed
but is confining them to their homes
Several state Offices depnr men<s
the Santa Fe Railway building ant
some sections Of stores in Topeka were
virtually put out Of business yesterday
and to-day by workers being kept a
homo by the disease.

Italian Baked at the s@Insult to His Artistry

"'Ah,' he told me. 'encores are bad:
They break the artistic continuity OF
the opera. Don't pay Mr.. Katzman.. l

tickets for friends of the chorus and
persons who help him with little odd
jobs for the opera, because Of his
position. But I will not give him
any more tickets
Katzman Holds His Job
"Then I felt more happy, and I did
not pay to Mr.. Katzman any money
at ALL"
HERBERT Johnson, comptroller of the
opera company, was asked whether any
members of the company's staff were
getting money from the artists to
gain applause.
81 have heard Mr.. Katzman is doing
So" he replied. 81 don't know whether
this is true or not. But the rumors
were so frequent that we sent out a
circular letter to the artists last
month, telling them it was unnecessary
for them to comply with any demands,
as the management docs not believe
any caque is necessary"
In the meantime, Mr.. KatZman re-
mains member of the staff Of the
Chicago opera company.
William T. Guard, of the Metropoli-
tan Opera House, commenting on the
charges made by Chicago singers that
they were forced to pay for applause,
said yesterday that "any artist that
pays c'aque is fool"
He said that while it is true that
there are zone or two clever fellows in
New York" who make money by pro-
viding applause, there is no organized
claque.
Mr.. Guard believes also chat no
good artist has to pay for applause"
although some do.

Spscial Corresponoencs


CHICAGO, Jan. 13.-Investigation
into the activities of an alleged claque
in the Chicago Grand Opera Company
to-day drew statements from several
singers that they paid tribute to Sam
uel Katzman, assistant stage manager
of the company. Charles Fontaine,
French tenor with the opera company,
admitted Katzman had approached him
with a proposition to furnish applause
do you give him anything?"
Like everybody else" Fontaine
said. "They all give money to the
claque"
"How much do you give him ?"
"Twenty dollars a performance"
"Why do you do it?"
"He threatens to ruin my success if
l refuse. Everybody else pays"
Tenor Defied Claque
Alessandro Dolci, Italian tenor, says
he has de6ed the claoue.
"Mr. Katzman came to me-" said
Signor Dolci, "and said I must give
him $50 a week and he would get me
an encore every night I sang.
81 will give you not only handclaps,
but cries of Bravo Encore, this man
told me. was very angry. I told Mr..
Katzman to his face that l was too big
an artist to pay for applause.
"'You pay for the claque, or I will
cut off your artistic head said this
man Katzman, making a motion with
his finger as if it was knife and he
was cutting off his head. In great
rage l went to see the maestro.
'Signor Campanini,' I said to him,
this man Katzman tells me that un-
less give him $50 week he will
cut off my head. He will hiss my
singing, and l won't get encores.'
