UN|F|CAT|ON Of
!. METHOD|STS
PROBABLE
Plan Must Yet Be Ratified at
General Conferences Of
Branch Churches.

CLEVELAND, July 26.-A plan
for the merging of the general
conference Of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church North and the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church South, sepa-'
rated since 1845. was adopted by
the joint commission on uniffcation.
The plan will now go to the general
and annual conferences of the
churches for ratification.
Delegations from both branches,
composing the membership of the
joint commission, adopted the plan
at separate meetings, after minor
changes were made in the original
plan submitted. Further changes
were made by the joint commission,
but they are said to be unimportant.
Completes Work Early.
Members of the commission pre-
dicted that legal formalities neces-
sary to secure changes required in
the constitutions OF the two
branches before reunion can be ac-
complished will be completed within
two years. These formalities in
clude ratification of these changes
by both general conferences and the
annual conferences, domestic and
foreign, into which local churcnes
are grouped.
One outstanding advantage to be
gained by the union is the oppor-
tunity provided to launch a Metho-
dist program of world service. ac-
cording to Bishop Edwin Dubose
Mouzon. of Nashville, Tenn. the
chairman of the Southern commits
sion. Through the missionary en-
terprise of both branches, Bishop
Mouzon said, there are Methodist
Episcopal churches in almost every
country. Exceptions are in Great
Britain, Canada and Australia,
where there are Wesleyan Metho-
dist churches.
Tentative plans have been made
for the Inauguration of the world
service program" at the conclusion
Of Methodist Episcopal centenary
movement. planned to cover pc
riod Of five years ending in 1924.
Springfield COnclave.
The general conference of the
northern branch meets at Spring
field, Mass. in May 1924. The gen
eral conference of the southern
church is not scheduled to meet I'M.
til 1926, but the bishops of that
branch are under instructions, given
at it's general conference last year,
to call a special conference.
Should the union be approved by
the general conference of the two
churches it would create denomlna'
ton with a membershtp near the L.
600, 900 mark. The Methodist year
book for 1923 gives the following
statistics OF the two churches:
Methodist Episcopal. 4'492' 4ol
members: 21,157 travelling preach
ers; 29,461 churches.
Methodist Episcopal South. 2'SS?.-
1871 members. 7,S1+ travelling preach
ers and 17,464 churches.
Another merger also is belng CON
sidered between the Southern Meth
odist Church and the United Breth-
rem, commission having been APP
pointed by the general conferences
Of each church at their last session.

RUSHE DENIES
ILL|C|TST|LL
REPORT
Prince Georges League Took
No Action He Says,
on Charges.

EVANSVILLE, July Mayor
J. Frank Rushe, president of the
recently organized Citizens League
of Prince Georges county, today
vehemently denied that the league
has taken any action on the
port that Constable Thomas H. Gar
rison and Deputy Sheriff f. F..
Humphrey attempted to secure per-
mission of Mrs. Marie Holmead,
widow of State Senator William II,
Holmead to establish a still on her
farm near Landover.
1.-The statement that the league
took any official action, and that
it preferred charges at the Depart
ment of Justice is untrue" said
Rushe. These reports are calcu-
lated to retard the work of the
league which was organized to
secure better administration Of
county government. It was not
formed to engage in mud singing
and If persons not authorized to use
the name of league continue tC
bring the organization into diSre
pute, 1 shall feel constrained to re
sign my office in the league"
Garrison requested Rushe to &C
company him to the home of Mrs
Holmead. Rushe however, did mol
feel that he should do this, because
the league had taken no Official
cugnlzanre of the matter. Garrison
denies the story emphatically and
contends that the charges were
trumpet up to injure his chances
to become sheriff.

Ford touring car. He tried to
make q right hand turn at the
Avenue. but he was going so
fast that he ran over to the left
side and hit an old lady and
gentleman that were waiting
there at the car stop. I ran
over to pick them up and give
such help as could. The
driver had brought the car to a
stop with the front wheel resting
on the mans arm, after knock
ing the lady halfway from the
car track to the curb.
helped the driver pick the
lady up and put her in a passing
car as a truck drove up whose
driver helped to push the car off

tried to edge away from the

yelled to them to hold him for

IN AUTO TOURING
Tremendous Summer Travel
Will Give Industry
Further Boost.
BY j. C. ROYLE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. February 21.-More
Americans will play this summer than
ever before, and that fact means more
work at a profit to scores OF indus
tries throughout the country, espe-
cially those connected with tho auto
mobile industry. Those were the
cheering facts voiced today by auto
mobile manufacturers, tire makers
and accessory producers.
The tremendous tourist travel OF
the spring and summer is amply In
dicated by reports from tho south and
west or the winters trend. Florida,
the southern states and southern CAL
ifornia as estimated TO have enter
tained nearly tbree-quarterS OF q MIL
lion tourists in the last three months
AS the season advances, hundreds OF
thousands will visit the national
parks, according to government Off
cials. and many Of these will travel
by automobile. These Indications
dealers say, mean big business in
the automotive industries.
Farmers Confer on Marketing.
Tentative steps were taken to stab
ilize prices Of farm products through
better methods Of marketing, trans
portation and crop control at con
ference OF officials, farmers, bankers
and business men representing ten
western states at st. Paul today. The
delegates waited with interest the
action of Congress today on farm
credit legislation, but 1t became evil
dent that the sentiment toward es
tabliShment OF minimum wheat
price was predominant IN the meet
ing.
The domestic fuel situation in and
about New York was measurably re
heved today by the melting condi-
ton of the ice in the North and East
rivers. This was due not so much 10
the fact that ice Jams blocked trans-
portation as that tk4y increased in
surance rates on ere coal, according
to some dealers.
