London-There are four dances that

are the fox-trot. one-step. the waltz

Methodists Endorse League of Nations
 An d Prohibition

DIES MONIES, Iowa. May '. - The League of Nations controversy pre- sented itself in the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church here today.
 The issue came up when the com mittee on state of church, under sus- pension of rules, filed a majority and minority report on the question or sending to President Wilson and lear CTS of congress the paragraph from the address of the bishops on the Lea que of Nations. The majority report recommended the paragraphs indors- ing a League of Nations and urging the president and congress to come to come agreement.
 A resolution was adopted commend ing Governor Coolidge of Massachu- setts for his action in vetoing the bill passed by the legislature, the effect of which would be to legalize the man. ufacture and sale of 2N per cent beer. Another resolution was offered critic izing Governor Phillips of Wisconsin for his statements that conditions among the laboring classes are worse and crimes increasing owing to the prohibition amendment.

JAPS WITHDRAW OBJECTION II LOANS I ]
 CHINESE
Accept Plan of Powers for Financing Development
 Of Country RESERVES RIGHT TO GUARD SOVEREIGNTY Bankers in Great Britain, France and United States
 In Combine

WASHINGTON, May 7.-Japan has withdrawn all objections to the Chi nese consertium and has prepared a communication accepting the terms as agreed upon by the United States, Great Britain, and France, the state department was informed today by the American embassy at Tokio. The consortium will become effec- tive as soon as the signatures of off cials have been affixed
 The acceptance of the consortium by Japan ends a two years effort by the state department to provide for the financing of China by representative groups of bankers in each of the four countries. Japan has contended that Manchuria and Mongolia should be ex- cluded from the operation of the con sortium, claiming that it had predomi- nant rights in that territory because of proximity. The United States, how ever, refused to agree to this eXclu- sion.
 The terms of the consortidm are gen eral and each negotiation under it will be taken up separately Japan will have the right to object to loans for any work she feels will jeopardize her national life or vitally affect her soy ereignty. Under this head, it is said, may be included the construction of railways in certain sections of China, particularly manchuria.
 The amount of money to be loaned under the consortium has not been made, but the advance Of S50.000000 for railroad and other construction and betterment is expected.
 Immediately after receiving word of the action Of the Japanese government toGay, Breckenridge Long, third assist ant secretary of state, who has con ducted all Of the negotiations for this country notified the governments of Great Britain and France.

WASHINGTON, May :. - Bankers called before the senate Interstate Commerce committee today failed to agree with railroad executives that $50O0O0, ,00O should be provided by the government to buy rolling stock for main lines of the country Though conceding, as representatives of the roads told the committee Thursday, that enough money could not be ob- ttained from private investors at present to fill all railroad wants, they refrained from approving plans for additional government loans. Instead Jerome G. Hanauer, representing Kuhn Loeb and Company of New York. suggested that the roads be assisted in the establishment Of pet ter terminals and the expedition of equipment they have now under con tract, using borrowings on the mar ket to get themselves more motive power rather than freight cars. All the banker witnesses declared that the income tax had destroyed invest ing power of wealthieI individuals and made the railroad credit situ&- tion more difficult, but withheld ap- proval for plans for enlisting govern , ment aid.

Federal Director Opposes Use of Embargo to Stop
 Foreign Pools

CHICAGO, May "A committee of 47, representing all branches of grain production and marketing will be ap- pointed to plan the handling or the wheat crop and to take action on the resumption of trading in wheat futures after May 31, when the wheat guaranty act expires, it was decided today at meeting of board of trade representa- tives, grain dealers, millers, elevator men and bankers, called by Julius H. Barnes. federal wheat director.
 At the same time committee of 16 composed of two representatives to be appointed by each of the eight ex- changes where trades in futures have been handled, Chicago, Duluth, Min neapolis. Omaha, Toledo, Milwaukee, Kansas City and St. Louis to make recommendations on the suggestions from all elements concerned and it will report it's recommendation to the general committee, which will take ac- ton.
 A committee headed by Fred B. Wells of Minneapolis, was chosen to- day to arrange for the organization of the general committee, of which they will be members with Mir. Wells as chairman.
 Mir. Barnes in an address said there were untold difficulties" in the sug- gestions of grain exchanges that the government invoke the embargo privi- leges of the Lever act, if necessary to prevent pool of foreign governments from manipulating American wheat markets.
 He said that inadequate internation- al transportation facilities offered a hazard to return to an open market
