CELEBRATE LANDING
 IF PILGR|M FATHERS
 JUST SOO YEARS AGO
rRepubIlean A. ?. Leased WIrel

DIES MONIES, Iowa, May l6-The afternoon session of the Methodist Episcopal conference was given over to a celebration of the three hundredth anniversary of the landing of the Pil- grim Fathers. Bishop L. T, Wilson de livered the address of the day
 The end of the second week of the session of the conference sees the work about three days ahead of the record of previous sessions. However. d number of matters of great importance to the church have been added to the usual business and 1t is predicted this session will be no shorter than that Of four years ago. Chief among these special matters is the subject of unifi cation with the southern branch of the denomination.
 The past week has seen principles enunciated which mean forward strides for the church, delegates say. For the first time in it's history it has recognized the right of the negro to hold the office of bishop, and as result of the action of the conference, two negro bishops will be elected. Action has been taken which makes it necessary to elect a total of If new effective bishops, in order to properly man the work of the church. Six new episcopal residences have been estab- lished in foreign lands. This is an ad- dition of 5S per cent to the present board of effective bishops. Four of the new DlSnOpS were elected upon the first ballot on Friday and second ballot on Saturday-Dr J. L. Birney. Boston; Dr. Fred B. Fisher, Muncie, Ind; E. L. Waldorf, Cleveland. and Charles F. Locke, Los Angeles, Cal.
 The numerous standing committees have their work well in hand and are making daily reports on legislative matters. A number of minor changes in the discipline of the church have all ready been adopted.
 The work of the coming week will consist mainly in completing the cleo tions and in considering proposed leg islation as recommended by the com mittees

 Tartar Advance by

[RepubIlcan A. p. Leased Wlrel

CONSTANTINOPLE, May 16-Be- tween May l and Il continual fighting took place between the Azerbaijan forces and Georgians, with results largely in favor of the Geergians, who barred the Tartar advance by destroy ing bridges. Proclamations were wide ly posted in Stamboul today with cap tion "Moslems, On to Anatolia" say ing:
 'The situation now is clear, why are you waiting. It is manifest that a Christian crusade is being undertaken against the Moslems. In whom do you place your hope? Arise and attack your enemies"
 All political parties are apparently united in opposing the terms of the peace treaty as announced It is re- ported from Angora that Mustapha Renal has arrested a number of in fluential anti nationalists and Chris tians. whom he is holding as hostages.
 The Turks have been refused per mission to hold a meeting of protest against the treaty in ConstantinopIe, but it is reported that meetings will be held in the mosques under the guise of religious ceremonies.

 Confirmation of earlier reports that the deposed president had been driven from the field where. with a little army of loyal troops, he had been making a stand for nearly Q week. was contained in an account of the revolutionary victory sent by Alvaro Obregon to de Ia Huerta, provisional president, and by him forwarded today to his agents here.

HYTHE, England, May 16.-(By The Associated Press.)-The Anglo French combination, which has succeeded the big four in the management of the al- lies dealing with Germany, determined at today's sesison in the Sassoon villa here upon the principles for the settle ment both of the German indemnity and inter-allied debts
 The principles are that the finan- cial experts of the two governments shall recommend a lump sum for the indemnity and that the payments of the inter-aIlied debts shall proceed par allel with Germany's payments.
 This arrangement is a substitute for Premier Millerand's proposal under which most stress was laid upon the immediate payment of a large sum to France. The French delegation, how ever, appeared satisfied with the re- suits of their mission.
 Yesterday morning they were so con fident that M. Millerand's requests would be granted that they announced them as having been agreed upon.
 The present purpose of the ''big two" is to present the experts plan to the Germans at Spa According to ex- perts here the question of the amount of time and the method of payment are yet to be considered
 Recognize Belgian Priority Claim
 The debt to the United States is not embraced in the new plan and the gov ernment's spokesman intimated that this would not be possible without the participation by the United States in the conferences. Recognition of Bel gium's priority claims upon Germany still stands. The proportional allot- ment of the German indemnity, made eight months ago. by which France gets 55 per cent and Great Britain 25 per cent, stands, according to today's agreement.
 The creditors of the allies are dis tinct gathers by the new plans, because it virtually makes German payments toward the indemnity guarantees for the inter allied debts. The French con- sider themselves gathers, on the one hand, because it now becomes doubly to Great Britain's interest to press Ger many for reparation, while Great Brit ain, on the other hand. secures definite assurances for repayment of her loans to France
 Another. item of gain for France ob- tained from the conference is the bar gain by which Great Britain allots to France 45 per cent of all coal exported. This the conference. brief as it was and small in the number of persons partic- ipating, has proven one of the most important chapters in the after war dealings, particularly as regards France and Great Britain, the respective news papers of which recently have been disposed to accuse the other country o1 trying to oyerreach it's ally in the financial settlement of the war.
 Premier Lloyd George was not sui ficiently well to accompany N Miller and to Folkestone, but the utmost cor diality marked their goodbye.
 Premier Lloyd George will prolong his stay at Lympe. near here, for the whole of the present week under medi- cal advice, to make his cure as com olete as possible.

One Officer Killed Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

BELFAST, May 16. - Londonderry experienced a night of terror Satur- day. part of the city being for hours at the mercy Of riotous mobs. During the disturbances Sergeant Lennis Mo roney, chief of the special criminal de- partment of the city. was shot through the right lung and died within half an hour. Londonderry thus gains the un- enviable reputation of being the scene of the first police murder in Ulster since the opening of the assassination campaign on January l, 1913.
 Other casualties included James Me Cafferty, IS. shot in the chest; District Inspector McDonagh, wounded in the head with a stone while leading police charge, and John Medallion a former soldier, wounded in the head with a bayonet.
 After minor disturbances early in the night the i'll feeling between the Sim E'einers and loya1ists famed up. About 10 o'clock the air was thick with bottles, stones and other missiles, while revolvers were freely discharged. The police arrived and persuaded the loyal ists to retire.
 The Sim Feiners continued their disorderly demonstrations and the po- lice charged and scattered them into side streets. The trouble eliminated in a battle on the Quay near the Great Northern station, where Maroney was shot down by the rioters.
 During the happenings, a unionist crowd literally took possession of the thoroughfare in the neighbodhood of Carlisle square and stoned persons be- lieved to be of different political per suasion. The audience at the Empire theater was stoned so furiously when leaving that they had to return, the doors being barricaded. Shortly be- fore midnight the troops were sum- moned and matters soon quieted down.

EXPECT GOVT. TO ACT QUICKLY ID
 BREAK RAIL JAM

WASHINGTON, May Is. - There were indications tonight that the gov ernment would act within IS hours to break the nation wide freight jam which, for nearly 0 month, has been slowly clenching it's grip on the throat Of industry. Sweeping orders by the interstate commerce commission, granting priority of shipment for food, fuel and perishab1es, were confidently awaited by railroad officials. They expected the commission also to bar temporarily the transportation of all dead" freight so that necessaries could be rushed to communities where short ages exist.
 The commission was said to be pre- pared to direct it's whole effort to re- Iieving traffic congestion. Its experts have been instructed to work in con junction with the American Railway Service car committee to assemble data on the, situation with a view to appor- tioning the supply of cars Where II would do the most good.
 Brinq Out Financial Dangers
 Appeals of the railroads for help have brought to light new dangers in the situation. Developments in the last q hours showed that g. decidedly menacing condition confronted the commercial world through the tie-up of tho financial resources of business houses. Delay in movement of pro- ducts was declared to have brought many plants face to face with immi- nent shutdown. Interest rates at this time are so high as to make It out or the question for most of the manufac- turing concerns borrowing to finance further production, according to treas ury officials It was said the conges- ton was costing the nation millions q day" through under production.
 Wholesalers and retailers alike are suffering through inability to obtain delivery of goods. railroad men sald, and. the resulting shortage threatens to become serious unless the government can break the blockade
 Railroad officials reiterated their declaration to go all the way" with the commission on any program. What they want they asserted. is lifting Of the burden until they can get on their feet
 The volume of freight of all kinds offered for transportation was said to be larger than the roads ever had been called upon to handle.
