 FOR FINAL WEEK IF SOUTHERN MEETING

 of Sessions
By Associated Press

Hot Springs. May 14.-Delegates to the nineteenth quadrennial conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, here, rested today while offi- cials gathered up the loose ends pre- paratory to the beginning tomorrow of what may be the last week of the session.
 A number of the visiting ministers occupied local pulpits while those who live in nearby towns went homo for the Sabbath period.
 Officials said that every effort was being made to have the conference conclude its work by next Saturday, although May 2f is the date for mally set for adjournment.
 Outstanding business still before the conference is consideration of the report of it's committee on unlfica- tion and the election of bishops and the large number of board secretaries who will still carry on the executive work of the conference during the next quadrennium. As the elections are scheduled to begin Tuesday, It was hoped that the unification committee would be ready to report tomorrow. Especial interest attaches to the report because of the invitation made last week for the church 10 join interests with the Church of the United Brethren in Christ.
 There also is before the committee a suggestion that the church merge with the northern branch of Method ism.
 1t was understood tonight that the committee probably would recommend the appointment of commission Tor possible negotiations and leave any further steps in the matter to be taken by the conference.

 LEAGUE DECLARES
Civil Service Reform Associa- ton Calls for Changes in System-Harding "RuIe
 of Three" Criticised
By Associated Press

Washington. May 14-Postofftc-
 appointments are still regarded as
 political spells to be filled for party
 purposes the National Civil Service Reform league declared today in .he
 third report of it's special committee
 on presidential postmasters.
 Declaring that the civil service law
 was being manipulated by the ad- ministration in it's own interests in so far as it relates to postal ap-
 pointsments" the report calls for re-
 forms to prevent political use of the civil service system
 Postmasterships are meted out by
 republican congressman to their ac- tive political workers. the report de- clared while democratic congress-
 men are generally ignored. In sup
 port of their charge. the committee
 presents letters bearing on postoffice appointments from congressman and political workers and leaders, 'n- cluding Senators Calder and Wads-
 worth. New York; Representatives
 Brown. Tennessee; Williams, Illinois:
 Sanders. Indiana, and Riddick, Mon tana, all republicans.
 The report also quotes Senator Nor ris, republican. Nebraska. as assert ing that President Hardng's execu- tive order authorizing the election of one of the first three elfgibles on a civil service list instead of making the selection of the first man on the
 listy compulsory. as was the case in the past. puts the postoffices on the political pie counter.'
 Appoint First Person
 The report also pointed out differ ences between postmaster examina- tions and appointments and other civil service examinations. and de- clared that the only means of pro- ice would be the appointment of the
 of qualified applicants.
 As result of inquiries" the te- port declared, i've find that the ap- pointment of presidential postmastsrs under the rule of three as pre- scribed by President Harding, are made on the recommendation of re- publican congressman who depend on
 local organizations. The President is. indeed, entitled to credit that he 1 made all these postoffices subject to an examination by the civil service commission. and not merely those va cancies resulting from death resig- nation or removal, to which they were limited by President Wilson's order. and which constituted only | about one-tenth of the whole Tn most of the cases he kept out the most incompetent, but within the | three highest eligibles political 1 patronage is still controlling"

Re sponse will be made for Chile by Luis 1zquierdo and for Peru by Mcli ton Porras. and then the two dele cations will retire for private con sultation in their new effort to apply the "conference plan" of diplomacy to international relationships of the western hemisphere.
 Although the seriousness of the problem is everywhere realized. there was a feeling here in eve of the com ference that the delegates woild come together under conditions ro- tably suspicious. For two govern ments between which diplomatic re- la tons have been severed for dozen years. Chile and Peru have ap preached the negotiations in spirit of amity regarded in diplomatic cir cles as so unusual as to give much promise of a settlement.
 Not Over-COnfident
 At the same time. among the dele gates themselves and among of ficials who have an intimate knowl- edge of the 40-year controversy over the treaty of Ancon, there has been apparent a tendency to warn against over confidence. Quick results are not expected by those in a position 10 make authoritative predictions. It is recognized that cn agreement can
