Negro Pastor Goes on
Rampage and Slashes
Three Men Severely

LINEVILLE, Ala, July 23.-Three
members of the Lineville negro
Methodist church are in serious
condition today as result Of an al
lege knife attack upon them by their
pastor, Rev. J. B. Ivey, yesterday,
during a service at which the presid-
ing elder of the district, Rev. w. AL
len, was a guest and the officiating
minister.
Police learned that the pastor OBJ
iected to the choice of Presiding Ed
err Allen for an organist for the
service. The woman responded to
the call of the presiding elder, of
ficers said, and Rev. Ivey began to
smash the organist. The organist s
husband, Clyde Moseley, took a hand.
Rev. Ivey set upon him with a knife
and inflicted severe wounds. Two
other male members of the congre-
cation went to the organist's aid,
and they, too. were severely slashed.
Pandemonium reigned in the
church until police and citizens of
the town took hand. Rev. Ivey
was placed in Jail at Ashland to
await the outcome Of the injuries OF
the three men. One surgeon exhaust
ed himself trying to repair the in
jury done by the pastor and called
a second surgeon to aid him.

PLAN To REUN|TE
METH0D|STS AIRED
At JOINT SESSION

CLEVELAND, Ohio, July PA
plan which it is believed ultimately
will result in the reunion Of the
Northern and Southern branches of
the Methodist Episcopal church, di
vided in 1914 over the question of
slavery, was ready for presentation
to the joint commission on unifica-
ton at the opening session of its
four-d day meeting here today.
The results of the meeting will
not be made public, it was said, I'M
til the plan has been submitted to
the general conference Of each
branch, the second of which will
no the held until 1926.
The plan was prepared by a joint
committee of sixteen, the members
of which are confident that it will
be accepted, according to Bishop
William F. Anderson, of Cincinnati,
chairman of the northern branch OF
the committee.
1--WE are confident that we have
finally hit upon a plan which. will
accomplish the object for which we
have been striving since 1870"
Bishop Anderson said. "Our differ
ences are administrative rather than
doctrinal and I am sure our plan
will enable the two branches to
dovetail perfectly"
On the other hand, Bishop John
M. Moore, of Dallas, Texas, believes
there will b. no unification until
racial differences can be ironed
out" which probably will be several
years. Prejudice still exists in some
degree between the north and the
south, he said.
There has been much agitation in
both branches for Identification. for
some time, and a standing commits
sion on the subject has been main
tanned for several years. 1t is COM
posed of twenty-five representatives
of each branch, ten of whom are
bishops, five from the north and five
from the south.
The northern branch has a mem,
bership of 100000, the largest of
any Protestant denomination in the
country, according to latest reports.
The southern church has 100000
members.

MAN WHO "MADE OWN MOOSE"

lew trial. First efforts to save his
life were handicapped by the boy
himself, and when he did bring him
self around to living, If he could, his
counsel had to dig into ancient legal
archives and bring out an anti
quated procedure, a writ of coram
nobis. 1t was this writ that the
supreme court has just denied. SO
far as known, it has been invoked
only once before in this state, and
that was several months before Mich
OILS case in a famous murder case.
It used to issue from the king s
bench, and finds it's present day
usages in extraordinary attempts to
reopen a case after every other pro-
cedure has apparently failed.
Nicnols' case was peculiar from
the outset. After committing the
crime with which he was charged,
he easily escaped and the search
for him had virtually been given up,
when he was arrested in Jackson
vile several months afterwards on
suspicion because of his having a
quantity of jewelry in his possession.
He made known the serious charge
against him. When he was returned
to this city for trial, he startled the
court by pleading guilty.
In his subsequent effort to get
another trial, his counsel claimed he
was prompted to go without jury
trial for fear of mob violence. His
aged mother came here several
months ago In an effort to save
him.

they would settle in the yard. and

ROMANCE IN DEATH /
CHAMBER IS Barred
At COURT HEARING
49,

A weird romance was unfolded
Monday in Judge T. O. Hathcock's
division of municipal court, when
Ben Simmons Cohen, originally OF
Palestine. but more recently OF
Rome, Ga. told the judge that he
proposed marriage to Miss Eudeil
Harden, of 80 Capitol avenue, and
was accepted while both were sit
ting up" with the corpse of mu-
tual friend several weeks ago.
Cohen appeared in court to an
swer a peace warrant sworn to sew
eral days ago by Miss Harden, In
which she alleged the wedding date
had been definitely set on two occa-
sions, that on each date the wedding
party had been complete except for
the absence Of the bridegroom, and
that Cohen, not content with IN
sulting" her by not appearing at
the time set for their marriage, had
made threats against her In tele-
phone conversations, and had In
duced strange young men to call ana
ask her for enga gements, which, she
said, she refused.
Proposal in Death Chamber
Cohen told strange tale to the
Judge, declaring he had failed 70
show up for the wedding because OF
certain stories he had heard con-
corning the young lady. He said he
still loved Miss Harden and was
willing to marry her. and said ne
regretted the fact that she now
appeared unwilling to marry him.
81 met her." he said. while both
OF us were sitting up with the
corpse of friend Of ours. We SAT
up all night and I fell in love with
her. I fell so deeply that 1 proposed
marriage and she accepted.
''And then j began to hear stories
about her: and 1 asked some frlends
of mine to call her UP to see II they
were trIe. l didn't mean to harm
her, and if you will give me am
other chance, judge, 1 won't even
call her up on the telephone. 4
haven't got any friends here"
Miss Harden would make no state
ment to reporters, but at the trial
Monday preferred another charge
against Cohen, swearing out a GRIM
inal warrant charging him with
wearing a Shriner's pin when he
was not a member of the order. This
is a misdemeanor under the laws OF
Georgia.
Judge Hathcock set his bond on
this warrant at 5000, which has not
been made, and the hearing will be
held within a few days.
