Religion.

The one hundred and forty first
session of the Baltimore Annual
Conference, Methodist Episcopal
Church South, last week voted down
a proposal that the Southern body of
the church merge with the Northern.
Proponents of the merger, however,
plan to carry the fight further by
appealing the decision to the house
of bishops of the church, charging
that the vote resulted as 1t did be-
cause of parliamentary tactics en-
ployed by the presiding bishop,
Bishop Gambler of Atlanta, Ga. The
question of combining the Northern
and Southern branches of the church
is now being voted on by other con-
ferences. Ii has previously been ap-
proved by the general conferences of
both the Northern and Southern
branches, but must be ratified by the
sectional conferences.

New methods of orchestration are
fast pushing the human voice as an
instrument of music into the back
ground and unless there is a return
to the methods developed by Bach,
Mozart and Beethoven the opera
singer will have to resort to panto-
mime and let the orchestra do his
singing for him. This is the belief
expressed by A. H. Thorold of the
chair of music in history at Munich
and Frankfort Universities, who ar
rived in this country last week from
Germany.

TEAM IS WALLOPED BY
 ANCHORAGE
Special to Gateway

ANCHORAGE, Jan. 23.-Last night the Seward all-star basketball team went down to defeat at the hands of the Anchorage High School Midgets by score of "A to 13. From the time keepers whistle to the end of the game, both sides increased in skillful playing. Johnson, for the visitors, showed up as their star, although Tinkler and Stump played very con- sistently and with perseverance. The Anchorage five showed their superior ity by their accurate and lightning like passes and basket-shooting.
 The first score was made on a foul throw by Dwyer from Mover, which was quickly followed by basket by the former. Then the Anchorage team started the slaughter, Mover, Gill, Nog- gle and Anderson all making baskets and holding off their opponents from scoring. During the first half there were two personal fouls by Elliott and Mover, but Johnson and Stump who took the throws failed to convert them into baskets. Selby and Stump made some very spectacular passes to one another, but always seemed to miss the basket by a hairs breadth Mover substituted for Elliott after 10 minutes of play and succeeded ill 'stemming the rushes of the visitors. Andreson and Noggle were in their old form and played a strong game.
 The first half ended with the score 12-3 in favor of the Midgets. Second Half Little Better The Ali-Stars started in to get un- der way in the second half, and quick ly annexed five baskets, Johnson toss- ing four and Selby the other For Anchorage, Gill, Andreson and Noggle again stepped out and rolled up a score of six baskets. A combination of Gill and Neimi took the ball into the all stars territory innumerable times, while Mover and Elliott stood guard like a stone wall.
 Thinker of the Seward team devel- oped stellar qualities when he took the ball unassisted into the Midget's goal area many times, but his team mates were too slow in following up, and many opportunities to score were missed
 The final score was Anchorage, 24; Seward, 13.
 A Few Notes by Our Reporter
 Francis Leslie may never get back to Seward as he has been annexed by member of the fair sex, and who knows the outcome.
 Hector Mclean is also making a hit with the ladies.
 Merritt Shellhorn is one of the most popular members of the team, and is very much infatuated with-Anchor- age.
 Tonight's game will be harder play 1 ed by the Seward team. They are be- l ing swamped with attention. The Seward team will return home on tomorrow's train. Bricks and stale eggs are not welcome.
