N. {. CHURCH TO
HAVE NEGRO BISHOPS
Two Will be Elected by the Gen.
eral Conference; Voting
Starts Friday.
Des Moines, la, Nav IL.

Des Moines, Ia, MAY IL
The NJ. +. General Conference has
decided by almost unanimous vote to
elect ten Negro bishops.
Two new areas made up OF colored
conferences viii be eformed. One will have
its center in New Orleans, and the other
n some Georgia city other than Atlanta.
The names most mentioned for bishop
are those of Professor ]. w. l.. Bowen, OF
Atlanta; the Rev. X. l.. Jones, editor
OF the New Orleans Christian Advocate;
the Rev. W. III. Brooks, of New York
city; the Rev. c. A. Tindler, of Phila-
delphia; the Rev. ]. G. Sheril of Tennessee,
and the Rev. ". NJ. Clair of Washington.
The elections will begin on Friday
an continue for several days.
Ii any one had the slightest expecta-
tionS that the plan of union between the
Methodist Episcoapl Church and the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
would have any chance Of adoption by
this conference, his expectations have been
dissipated. The election of the colored
bishops will postpone unification for fifty
years, in the opinion of many.
Another radical measure was adopted
AIRY cpiscopacy of the Methodist Church
IS no more. No new missionary bishops
will be elected and those now in that
Office will become full fiedged bishops.
That will mean that certain of the new
bishops elected this week will take up their
residence in China, South America. In
dia, Europe and Africa. 1t is understood
that Mexico City will also be residence.

wrecked North Penn Bank. waS sen
fenced to serve not less than Twelve
nor more than fifteen years in tie
Eastern Penitentiary.
Sentence was imposed IN quarter
sessions court by Judge Howard \.

An appeal was taken to the superb
or court, however, and Moyer. who
had been at liberty under - 1000 bail.

ton of the bank, which WAS closed
last July with over $2OOOOuO short
age.
Judge Davis instructed the cOprt

than five years or more than seven
on the indictment charging the max
ing of false statement The latter
sentence will begin at the expiration

caused by the wrecking of the bank.
Meyer. brought into court to hear
the decision of his request for a new
trial, palpably was surprised when he

WILL The HIGH PRICES
STAY MUCH LONGER
Opinions Differ But 1t All Rests With
The Public; Ii The Public Will
Pay High Prices They Will Stay
Up; Ii Not They Will Come Down.

The public which pays the bills,
/ the economists who calculate how
large those bills ought to be, and the
manufacturer, wholesale, the mid
dleman and the retailer who make
out the bills have been engaged late
ly in heated discussions as to wheth-
er prices had really begun perman-
emily to reCede.
Argument on both sides of the ques
ton have been supported by many
facts Those who held that prices
! had passed their peak pointed 10 the
fact that stores which had engaged
in recent cut price sales had stated
that lack of buying on the part Of
the public had forced them to lower
prices in order to move stocks; that
the public, in other words, had
adopted the advice of the Saving
Division of the Treasury Department
and ceased buying until prices re-
ceded TO more moderate levels.
Those who urged that prices must
remain high pointed to the still
existent shortage in supply of es-
sentials, and predicted that any re-

temporary until supply had definite
ly and finally overtaken demand.
In the meantime, Current At
fairs" the Boston mercantile weekly
which is regarded as authoritative
on matters concerning the shoe and
leather market, makes a definite
prediction as the future trend in the
price Of shoes. In its issue OF June
II. Current Affairs" says:
1t may be taken for granted, how
ever, that the retailers cannot dis
pose of high grade goods for next
season at prices exceeding SIS TO
SIS. In other words, the $40 shoe
has vanished from the horizon"
Current Affairs also states, in
the same discussion:
General opinion throughout the
trade appears to be that the peak OF
leather and footwear prices has den
nitely been reached, and that from
now on there will be at least a gradu-
al decline. In other words, it looks
as if everyone, from hide dealer to
shoe retailer, would have to adjust
himself to the new conditions arising
from the refusal of consumers to buy
any more footwear until they hnd
