-FOUR BISHOPS TO BE RETIRED
 BY lIETHODISIS
Conference Adopts Res0s lution Supporting Child
 Labor Move

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, May f7s-s Prophesies that the delegates to the Methodist Episcopal general conferences would move to reconsider their action yesterday against decrease in ths number of bishops came to nothing to- day. Instead the conference accepted "a committee report formally retfrinn four bishops for old age or illness, and laid plans for balIotting next Monday for their retirement.
 A fifth bishop, George Fl. Bickley of Singapore, was relieved of his Epis- copal duties for the coming quadren. nium on account of illness, but the previous combination of the St. Louis and Wichita, Kan, areas into one centering at Kansas City, Mo, equal ized the loss and kept the number of new bishops needed at four.
 The conference voted support today to constitutional amendment giving Congress power to legislate control of child labor. By a coincidence, letter from James J. Davis, secretary of Labor, at Washington had just been read requesting the conference to aid the department of labor in bringing @old fashioned religion" and the Christian spirit of justice to the toil- ing men and women of the country.
 A number of recommendation of committees as to finances and the legal Interpretation of church laws were ap- proved, as was resolution for the dis continuance of the European Central Conference.

ALL ARE HAPPY IOVER SELECTION IOF PAT HARRISON
Campaign Managers For
 Big Four Express \. Approval
By RODNEY F. BUTCHER By Leased Wire to The Age -Herald)

\ NEW YORK, May 1.-The first preliminary hurdle that threatened a possible bitter row in democratic ranks has been passed in complete harmony. Stnator Pat Harrison has been manned to sound the democratic battle scry as temporary chairman of the na- gtional convention, and according to all fthe official opinions available, every body is very happy about 1t.
 Harrison was picked by committee Dn arrangements which included four prominent democrats each of whom is An important packer of one of the can Hidates for the democratic nomination. These were Norman E. Mack of New York, who is working for Governor Al Smith; Samuel B. Amidon of Kansas, for W. G. McAdoo; George White of Ohio, for James NJ. Cox, and Walter NJ. Moore of Alabama for Senator Under wood.
 All Pleased.
 Harrison has been claimed by the McAdoo men as favorable to their can kiidate, but all four of these committee members expressed themselves as pleased with his choice. If they aren't actually pleased, they will insist pri- Eately that the identity of the tempo fary chairman isn't of much import anyway.
 The committee is now engaged in Completing other arrangements for the eonvention, which opens June "A. Meanwhile, as Governor Smith rests from his gubernatorial duties at At 3antic City in preparation for the last month of the pre-couvention struggle. McAdoo is in New York conferring with many of his political advisers. He will be here over the weekend and ahen leave for California.
 .McAdoo Campaign Ended. 2 The McAdoo campaign is over, ac- eording to his supporters, who claim That the eleven states which have not vet decided on their delegations are Admittedly pro-McAdoo. They insist That Harrison's selection as he key hotter is McAdoo victory and that Me Adoo's nomination is now but a matter of four or five ballots at the conven- fion.
 On the other hand, the Smith men insist that the New York governor will be the democratic candidate in from ten to fifteen ballots, and agree with the McAdoo packers that the conven- 4ion will be short. Underwood and Cox supporters remain silent, limiting that they are grooming their candidates for surprises on the convention floor. { Tom Taggart, it is learned, will establish headquarters here to boom the Bspirancy of Senator Samuel Ralston, pn or about June 10.
 8 The convention leaders have started pn the program of the event and on June 16, the arrangements committee will convene again and apportion seats b the various delegations. Some of the Delegates are expected to begin arriv- ing in New York as early as June 1.

 While I have made the fight against religious intolerance, I have never re- garded it as my fight. It is the fight of the party. In 1856, the party could have done nothing else; can do nothing else in 1924, if it intends to carry the election"
 Senator Underwood expressed confi- dence that the plank he advocates will De adopted. He declared that the far west is not concerned with the Ku Klux Klan; that the east is opposed to it, and that the south will not be solid in its favor.

HARMONY FAILS

NANPA SESSION
Water Users F all to
A gre e on Compro-
mise; N w Contract
Jeopardized.

Efforts to smooth out factionai
difference on the Boise project failed
at Nampa Tuesday and ratification OF
the contract brought from Washington
by L. J. Magee last summer is as far
from reality. Advices received BY
J. J. Bond. project manager, Tuesday
confirm the position OF the interior
department that the proposed con
tract will not be ratified in Washington
until it has been approved by all
factions here.
Both regular and insurgent boards
OF directors OF the Boise project were
represented at the Nampa meeting
Monday as was the Nampa-Meridian
Irrigation district. Morning and af-
ternoon conferences failed signally to
iron out differences and the meeting
adjourned without tangible progress
having been made.
Opposition to the proposed contract
cropped out locally shortly after its
presentation to project settlers by
Mr. Magee, secretary of the regular
board of the Payette- Boise Water
Users association. This objection
was largely based on the proposal to
turn the management OF the project
and its works over the water users
association. Embodied in this oppo-
sition is the old irrigation district
association squabble.
Protests are on file at Washington
OF the proposed contract from the
Nampa, Meridian. the Pioneer, the
New York canal company and the
insurgent board of the association,
it developed Tuesday at the Nampa
harmony" meeting. 1t was upon the
basis of these objections that the
department determined upon
its non-approvsl policy for the con-
tract until local difficulties had been
smoothed away.
