Baltimore A. M. B. Cunference Begins The sixty-ninth session of the Baltimore annual conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church is to meet next Wednes- day, April 15, at the Metropolitan A. M. =. Church,.on M street between 15th and 16th, and ‘cortinue its deliberations for nearly a week. Additional interest is lent to the meeting of the Baltimore conference this year from the fact that in less than & rronth in the first part of May the quad- renalal conference of the A. M. E. Church in the United States will meet In Wihning- ton, N. C. The term of office, Rev. J. H. Collett, the presiding, elder of..the Potomac district, expires at this conference. Several persons have been suggested to succeed Rev. Dr. Coliett, and among them are those of two local clergymen, Rev. Drs. John T. Jenifer and Daniel P. Seaton. The former is pastor of Metropolitan Church, the church in which the conference meets. Dr. Seaton has served about three years at his present charge, and conseyuently has another year before he would have to be changed of necessity, but those who knew, have noticed that in former years the bishop who presides nardly ever allows a minister to stay at one place more than three years, and therefore for this reason it is thought that Dr. Seaton may be moved. Another of the local pastors who has served three years is the Rev. J. W. Norris, pastor of St. Paul's Churen, in Southwest Washington. The lay members of the A. M. E. Church, contrary to the custom prevailing in nearly all the other branches of the church founded by John Wesley, do not make a practice of calling or of putting in a request for a pastor when they know tha: their minister is to sent somewhere else, consequently while there Is much speculation as to who the new pastors will be, there is nothing defi- nite k»own an3 will not be until the bishop on the last day of the conference reads out his appointments. While Dr. Jenifer has served three years, and is therefore within the range of a change it is not likely that he will leave Metropolitan for some months as yei. Since the last general conference a number of the bishops have died, and therefore this conference will in all proba- bility witness the making of four new bishops. Several of the local laymen have ©>rressed the opinion that Dr. Jenifer will be elected te one of these bishoprics. Dr. Seaton’s name has also been mentioned in connection with a bishopric. A question of deep interest agitating the chureh is whether laymen shall be admit- ted to membership in the annuai confer- ences. The laymen are, of course, much Pleased with the suggestion, and many of the mitisters seem to favor the proposition; therefore, it is expected that the Baltimore coxference will record its vote in the af- firmative on the question. The presiding bishop of the conference will be the Right Rev. W. J. Gaines, D. D., wi home is in Atlanta, Ga. The asso- ciate bishops will be the Right Revs. B. W. Arnett, B. T. Tanner and A. Grant. Bishop Arnett resides at Wilberforce, Ohio, and was lately made a trustee of the United Sceiety of Christian Endeavor. Had No Permit. Charles Gordon, an elderly colored man, whose white hair and beard showed that he had been on this mundane sphere for many years, was in the Police Court today charg- ed by Inspector Howe of the health depart- ment with violating the garbage law, it be- ing alleged that he had no permit to haul the swill. The old man lives in Burrville, near Benning, and has a few hogs. He has been hauling swill from two houses near 10th and K streets for a long time, but has never had a permit. A year ago a police- man notified him that he must hav water-tight receptacle with a close co’ and this the old man purchased. He thought he had then complied with the Provisions of law, hauiing the swill. “How old are you?’ Lawyer Moss, his counsel, asked. “I spec’ I must be pretty nigh onto a hundred years,” was the old man’s an- swer. “I've been in this city for more than forty years, and I've been in the county, I don’t know how long.” Counsel made an earnest plea for the old man, and Judge Kimball took his personal bonds to get the required permit. —__ The battle ship Indiana backed out of the dry dock at Port Royal yesterday. and so he continued MARRIED.
