RESOLUTION ON
BISHOP SINS SET
ASIDE BY COUNCIL

LITTLE ROCK, Ark.-The 18th
session Of the A.M.E. Bishops
Council and Connect >llal Confer
ence came to close here, satur-
day. with no action being taken on
the alleged charges Of immortality
filed against Bishop David H. Sims
by his wife, which have been hang
ing fire for year.
A resolution urging the bench to
take stand In the matter by issu-
ing a public statement on behalf of
the episcopacy concerning the ru-
mors was killed in the correctional
conference after a bitter fight
which ended in an uproar which
lasted for ten minutes and was
only arrested by the singing of a
hy1nn.
Calls Time Ripe
The resolution, read by DR.. John
Adams, president of Greater Payne
University of Birmingham set forth
that continued silence on the part
of the church heads was undernin-
ing the confidence Of the constitu-
ency, and that it was high time
that q definite position was taken
by the body.

moring for the motion when w. H.
C. Brown Of Washington delivered
an eloquent protest in unreadisess
urging the body to refrain from
putting a stigma on the South Az
rican prelate until he could return
to America and defend himself.
Again pandemonium broke out
with opposing members shaking
their fists and demanding that the
issue be put to a vote During the
confusion some one started hymn
which was picked up until the ar
gument was drowned out.
Raps Bryant
Just prior to this a motion was
carried memorializing the bishops
to condemn Ira T. Bryant for pub
fishing disparaging article about
DR.. John R. Hawkins in the Sun
day School Union.
This resolution YVES adopted with
quick dispatch after the way had
been paved by the president In his
annual address in which Bryant
was severely criticized for alleged
ly using the church literature for
the propagation of his personal
grievances with DR.. Hawkins.
A committee was Immediately
appointed and dispatched to the
secret chambers of the bishops ask
ing their endorsement of the reso-
luton. The endorsement was re-
turned to the body amid uproar
This action was the equivalent of
an order to Mr.. Bryant tl aiscon-
tinue his attacks in church litera-
ture and was equal to a reprimand

NEW GAS LEASE
SOUGHT BY CITY
Directors viii Negotiate
for Lower Contract
on Mains.

Directors of the city utility dis
trlct, faced with the problem of &C
curing a favorable lease on dis
trlbutlng system for the newly &C
CURED Citizens Gas and Coke Util-
lty, today began negotiations with
officials of the Indianapolis Gas Co.
When the city took control of the
Citizens Gas Co. several weeks ago
it was discovered that officials of
that organization had leased so per
cent of its mains from the Indian
apolis Gas Co., at an annual cost of
100000.
Holding this price to be unreason-
ably high, the directors refused to
stand by the old lease and asked for
a new figure. For a time it ap-
peared that the indianapolis Gas
Co. would take the matter to court
but yesterday its officials decided to
open negotiations.
Albert l.. Rabb, utility district
counsel, explained at the City Coun-
Gil meeting last night that the city
either would buy the Indianapolis
Gas Co. outright or work for more
favorable terms.
The City Council will formally
ratify the utility districts action in
taking over the Citizens Gas Co. at
its next meeting.

the American ambassador in Rome
