The UNION now to be effected by
the southern conference will give a
combined membership OF more than
100000, the Methodist Episcopal
church having 100000 members and
the Methodist Church South, $500

Dramatic Scene.
The vote on the merger was 802 for,
IS against. A dramatic scene followed
announcement of the vote and the con
ference sang Onward Christian Sol
diers."
The decision to unite brought to a
close efforts of many years on the part
of leaders of the two great bodies of
Methodism. Four years ago a joint
commission was named by the two
conferences, and plan for a merger
was reported.
The two branches will be joined as
one, but will be under two jurisdc-
tions administered by the respective
bishops assigned to the two areas.
A name for the joint organization
will be chosen at the first conference
of the entire body of the church. Col
ored people of the south are in church
es in the jurisdiction of the Methodist
Episcopal church, while the white
Methodists of the south are in the
Methodist Church, South, The ar
rangement for separate jurisdiction
will meet the problems that are in
volved, it is said.
The bishops of the two churches as
at present constituted are to be Dish
ops of the united church, according to
the plan without further action. I'm
mediately after the union shall be con
summated they are to organize as one
body and arrange for the superintend-
ence OF the work of the church.
Each of the jurisdictional confer
ences provided are to meet quadren-
nially where the general conference is
to assemble and Immediately prior
to it.
Southern Church to Act
Pending the devising OF method oil
amending the constitution at the first
general conference, the present meth
cd in the separate churches is to be
continued.
The college of bishops of the south
ern branch of the church will call q
special session OF the church confer
ence to act on the unihcation of the
two churches.

NEW YORK, May 5.-The past
week was one Of unusual quiet
in the textile lines, a survey of
conditions showed today. Curtail-
ment Of production was still in
order, but in some divisions the cur
tailment process had led to a point
where output equalled the current
demand, causing slight strengthen.
ing of prices.
Raw silk, for example, showed an
advancing tendency, although the
rise is not expected to go very far
Silk trade, like the wooden goods
trade, was still handicapped to some
degree by prospects Of labor difficult
ties in women'S garment manu-
featuring lines.
1t was expected that settlement
OF differences between manufact.
urers and workers would be the
signal for renewed buying by
women's wear producers. AS re-
CARDS the wooden business in gem
eral chief interest centered on
worsted suitings. Inasmuch as
America is worsted wearing
country the opinion prevailed that
buyers must cover needs sooner or
later in view Of the underbOught
position Of the cloth.
In cotton goods, mill curtailment
had been further curtailed. Much
complaint has been heard of foreign
competition. In this respect the
resolution adopted by the National
Association of Cotton Manufacturers
at its convention in Boston asking
the president to raise the import
duty on cotton goods aroused con-
siderable interest.

In most issues. but the absence Of
selling pressure created a more
cheerful atmosphere which was
translated in higher prices through
out the list.
Standard OIL stocks advanced frac-
tionally with the exception OF Penn

points on small transactions. The
Independent list was featured by
steady buying OF South American
Oils. especially Lago and Creole

Following recent quietness public
utilities resumed their advance led
by Commonwealth Power and

NEW YORK, May 5.-Trading

volume of transactions was light
compared with that of the pre-,
Yious week. There was a steady
demand for gilt-edged securities
in reflection of the easy credit
situation, but the market was

No Importance was attached to

excellent buying which carried the
bond to a new high on the present

NEW YORK, May 5.--New capital
issues last month aggregate $685..
954.2Oo against s2sT .327. 400 in March
and 2T4,426.0OO in April, 1928, ac-
cording to the regular monthly
Journal of Commerce compilation.
These decreases are considered as
evidences Of a slackening tendency
in business and industry. Even
for the first four months of 1924, OF
more significant is the grand total
81 .029, OF, 900, against S1,4S5, 746, 200
for the corresponding period of
1898, a decline of about 40 per cent.
The declines were in almost every
case in industrials, while railroad
classifications increased. This is
due In large measure to the fact
that q number OF Industrial com
panies completed new financing in
1898 and have had no need for adj
ditional facilities this year. whereas
the railroad expansion program is
tar from completed.
Railroad financing in April
amounted to $60,0S7 900, compared
with $47. 466,000 in March and x29.-
09S,000 in April. 1928. Two issues
OF equipment notes by the Southern
Pacific and Pennsylvania, aggregat-
ing $37,740.0e0 swelled the April
total. Some heavy railroad refund.
ing Of maturing obligations will need
to be done In the next year, and,
while these operations will not add
to the bonded debt of properties,
they will involve considerable &C

pTrCINI REMAINED TRUE TO HIS OWN MUSE

We have been spending some ol our spare 'ime the past week read- ing critical estimates of the genius of Giacomo Puccini the Italian opera composer who has gone to his last reward All appear to re- gard Puccini as ha,ng been the greatest opera composer of his Jay from the standpoint Of popular suc- cessos: but there is some disagree rent upon the artistic morris of his work.
 Our estimate Of Puocm Is that he vas no Wagner and did not en- deayor to be one; he was no Verdi from the standpoint of attempting to follow verdis sty)o and manner puccini was; Puccjnl He set his ovn standard of wedding music with drama and hewed his own row in his own way, and 1t has proved a popuIar way because it was sane and artistic.

 Crossings

ono ucrsou or vehicle second IS the traffic movement across Elm street railroad crossing, Supt. J. J. Snayelv of the Waterbury division nI inc New Haven road told rail- road committee members last night .at q meeting in City hall, called for the purpose Of discussing grade crossings.
 The railroad IS anxious 10 protect its crossings he said. and al Elm street the gatcman must be alert for approaching trains from three di- ractIons, but he receives little CO., operation from the tra'cIing public, Many persons go under the gates and run across, while automobiles dash through to beat lhe lowering gates. Last year S1 gates wero broken in New Britain by automo- biIists. Mr. Snallcy felt better CO., operation on the part Of the public would reduce accidents.
 Al the Whiting street crossing there is little need for protection al night since there is rarely any train movement after l2;3u, the railroad man said, and train crews take pre- cautions when one is 10 cross.
 Insofar as is possible switching will be avoided, he promised, but the interests Of tho manufacturing cs tablishments must be considered ana this demands ssRe switching.

INTERSTATE BU SSES BRING PROBLEMS

The running Of busses through Connecticut, between New York and Boston catering only to through business and stopping in Connecti- cut only long enough for passengers to cat a meal en route, is sure to raise an interesting court question that will need the upper courts to decide it properly, Judge George Griswold in the Berlin court quickly conceded this much when confront ed with the cases of bus drivers ar- rested on charges of driving through the state without being sregistered here.
 If the superior court, or even high CT courts. Should the cases go high CT, find that such a bus company must register it's busses in every state through which they pass, 1t na- uralIy will add to the cost Of oper- ating busses. h the case of the buses from New York to- Boston, they would have to be registered in New York. Connecticut and Massa- clusetts. Tourist busses now are making regular transcontinenta' runs. and if such a law held good everywhere, the cost Of operating t such buses would be well nigh pro- htbitive.

 you And bring to you present; Then, with your rare, engaging
 smlles.' Youn give me thanks incessant. Then I'll sit with embarrassment Writ largo upon my features, While you will smirk, yet all the
 time Think, Aren't men funny crea-
 tures?" But just the moment that I leave Welt that's another story: Upstairs you'll promptly, gaily run In all your giggling glory, Youll hold aloft this gift Of mine For family inspection, And all of you will laugh with

 Snch undeniable prestige has been well earned; and 1t is necessary that the class be not permitted to lag in the future. The interdenominationa aspect of the class will be retained, and with men of prominence as speakers there is no reason 10 ex- rect anything but continued sue cess.
