ILAYMEN VICTORIOUS Baltimore Conference Votes to Give Them Representation. BUT EIGHTEEN DISSENTING VOICES Conference Disposes of Reports and Routine Business. WORK OF THE CaBINET The Ba'timore annual conference contin- Led its session at Waugh M. E. Church, 3d and A streets northeast, at 9 o'clock this morning, Bishop Merrill presiding. ‘There was an air of expectancy about the members of the conference, as the matter of the memorial adopted at the meeting of the laymen of the Baltimore annual con- ference Friday was to be voted upon. It was considered a foregone conclusion that the memorial would be adopted by the conference. It was brought up in the form cf the Bacon resolution. After some little discussion the decision was finally reached that the question of the memorial be put to a vote without debate. ‘The vote as an- nounced was 141 to 18 in favor of the lay- men having the wished-for representation im the conference. It was received with great applause. Revs. J. F. Goucher and J. St. Clair Neal were admitted to the committee on early history of Maryland Methodism. The annual report of the Preachers’ Aid Society was announced. The annual col- lections, it was said,” were about $17,000, of which the sum of $5,000 was distributed. It was explained that the assets of the so- ciety amount to over $100,000, the interest on which is supposed to go to the fund for widows of deceased ministers: and super- annuated ministers. When it is not deem- ed necessary for this purpose, the su:n is turned into the treasury of the Preachers’ Aid Society, which was done last year. Rev. H. A. Ames spoke on the work of the deaconesses most entouragingly. He is superintendent of the home here. Matter of a Dismissal. The report of the committee to look into the dismissal of the’ Marshall family by Rev. Dr. Edward Hayes of Glynon Church was made. It was stated that Mr. T. S. Marshall had withdrawn from the Glyndon Chureh and had also secured the with- drawal of his wife and daughters. It was found that his dism{ssal had not been due to any error of administration and t part of the report was.adopted. The fam- fly was reinstated into the church, but the reinstatement of Mr. Mars: E not made. It was declared there was no question of any evildoing on the part of that gentleman which required his with- drawai and that he had simply desired it for reasons of his own. Rev. C. Herbert Richardson of Baltimore presented features of the temperance Dill before the Maryland general assembly, as prepared by the Ministerial Association of Baltimore, and the work was heartily com- mended by the conference. Dr. Beiler ef the American University was introduced again to the delegate A motion was made that the missionary sermon be preac t 11 o'clock, nd a general d ed as to the Nl himself was best time for it to be delivered, and it not acted vpon at that time. Bishop Me: rill accepted the opportunity to speak on c,' that per- 1 his presiding elders recard to the znment of the men to ir different charges, and the settlement of other mctters of great importance. Men grew faster, he said, than did the the subject of bis fcrmed by himself 2 in ces which they should fill, and he said was not an easy matter to move men from higher to lower g: s of work. Waugh Church Case. It is und®rstood that the question whether te return the pastor of Waugh Church to the pestorate or not is one which fs per- plexing the bishop considerably. The church beard, it is understcod, has one majority for Mr. Eldridge’s retention. The move that the order of the day be en up was adopted. On a motion of Rev. Mr. Edwards it was decided that the missionary sermon shal! be preached to- mcrrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. ‘The bishop Stated that the delegates wanted to visit the American University this afternoon at 3 o'clock, assembling at the correr of East Capitol and 4th street at that heur for the purpose. Bishop Merrtil then said that as he wished to confer with his. presiding elders in a cabinet meeting he would re- avest Bishop Hurst, who was present, to take his place. Imperative business, he said, demanded attention. Rev. Dr. Byron Sunderland, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, was introduce: to the conference, and made an address of fraternal greeting, in which he touched wpen church union. “When we are down on our knees we are all Calvi he stated, amid lnughter from the delegates. “When we rise up we are all Armeniais, ready to fight for our religion. Bishop Potter once said to me in a taik with regard to the churches of this ceuntry that his hepes were founded on the Protestant Methodist Episcopal Church 0? America. God speed the grand work of the great Methocist Church,” he conclud- ed, and his wish was followed by out- burst of applause from the conference. Edueational Work. Dr. Payne of the Educational Soclety of the church told of the work of that organ- ion, declaring that its system was un- equaled. He cited the case of young men who lived on practically nothing in order to study theology. One of these, he said, lived for some time on oné a half cents a meal— four cents and a half a day,and another was forced to limit himself to the expendl- ture of seventy-five cents a week in order to embrace the cause of Christ. It wa such faithful souls as these, he declared, for whom the society opened its arms. Rev. Joseph Wardle of the Rock River conference was introduced to the dele- gates. Memorial Services. At the suggestion of Bishop Hurst, who presided in place of Bishop Merrill, the memorial service for members of confer- ence who died during the year was begun. The committce on memoirs consisted of Revs. T. P. Frost, chairman; W. L. ae Dowell, Harry Boggs, J. B. Stitt and J. M. Slarro The names of the six as given were Revs. J. MeKend-ee Reily, L. D. Herron, Rich- erd tis, John F. Ackerman, Henry M. Harman and A. J. Bender. Rey. Mr. Nicholson called attention to the-fact that the “bar of conference” should be removed durirg these exercises and the audience be allowed to come into the front part of the church, particularly the relatives of these in whose memory the service was to be held. This was adopted, and the bishop announced that the hymn “Servant of God, Well Done,” should be sung. Prayer was offered by Rev. Lucien Clark, who touched feelingly on the memories of the dead. The memoir of Rev. Richard Norris of Baltimore was read by his devoted friend, W. J. McKinney. Rev. Mr. Stitt requested that the persons outside come into the church, so that the audience and services should not be interrupted, which was done. ‘The hymn, “Jesus, Lover of My Soul,” was sung, and the reading of the memoirs fol- lowed, this service being of a most im- pressive character. When this was finished the conference was adjourned. Ordination Services, - Bishop Mefrill preached yesterday morn- ing at Waugh Church, and conducted an ordinaticn in the afternoon at Wesley Chapel.

Burgiars visited the residence of Mr. P. M. Dubant, No. 9v2 Gth street north- west, some time last evening and got away without being detected. It is the belief of the police that the robbery was committed by the burgiars who robbed the house of Mrs. Barbarin Saturday night. Mr. Dubant's family left the house about 7 o'clock and went to church. It was about 10:30 o'clock when they returned home, and then it was that they discovered the loss. The parlor window was forced open and several rooms in the house were ran- sacked. The burglars carried off an onen- face watch, pair of sieeve buttons, a scarf pin and seal ring. Report of the robbery was made to the police, and Detectives Harti and Boyd are making an inves- tigation. geen Death of Capt. W. H. Myers. Capt. W. H. Myers, an employe of the pension office, died suddenly Saturday even- ing last at 10 o'clock of heart disease. The news of his death was a great shock to his associates in office, since he was in his usual good health throughout the day Sat- urday. Captain Myers was born in Washington county, Pa., April 13, 1831, and was there- fore nearing the sixty-seventh anniversary of his birth. In early life he was engaged in farming.

At the concert to be held in the New Na- tional Theater tomorrow afternoon at 4:15 o'clock the citizens of Washington, besides the privilege of contr buting to the fund destined to aid the widows and orphans of the gallant sallors whose lives were sacri- ficed in the disaster to the battle ship Maine, will be given a rare opportunity to enjoy music of the highest. as well as the mcst pieasing order. The forty members of the Women’s String Orchestra of New York, under the well- conductor, Mr. Carl V. Lachmund, Will be heard for the first time in the cap- ital. This crganization, composed of emi- nent soloists, enjoys absolute supremacy over all others of like character, and proves that ths young women of today have open- ed yet another path to professional success. It is said by competent critics that for tone celor, daintiness of execution and intelli- gent expression of ft the Women's String Orchestra is without rival in either sex. But the greatest attraction tomorrow af- ternocn will be Mme. Nina Rathbone, the young and talented Wagnerian singer, whose wonderfully magnetic p mality is entire- ly eclipsed by the marvel of her voice. The rich notes of the deepest contralto are heard from this phenomenal singer, as well as the flute-iike tones of the highest so- prano. Mme. Rathbone received most of her instruction from Mme. de la Grange in Paris, until she decided to devote her tal- ents to the portrayal of Wagner's heroines. After a long and arduous course of study under Prof. Schroder, conductor of the cel- ebrated Opera House in Hamburg, she con- tinued her work with the same able master after he was called to Sondershausen, Thur- ingia, as director of the Conservatory and conductor of the Opera House. After sev- €ral appearances at the Court Opera House in Sondershausen, news of the beautiful American girl with the wonderful voice and marvelous dramatic power reached Mme. Cosima Wagner. Ever alert to find new and perfect exponents of her husband’s music drama, Mme. Wagner sent Mme. Rathbone an invitation to visit her. It was on the occasion of this visit that Mme. Wagner made Mme. Rathbone most flatter- ing propositions fer an appearance at the next Bayreuth festival. But Mme. Rath- bone, ever homesick for her native land, had already gladly embraced the opportu- nity of signing a contract with Herr Anton Seidl. Mme. Rathbone’s first number on the program for tomorrew afternoon will be an aria from “Hamlet,” with orchestra. The second, three songs by American composers, with Mr. Frederick Colt Wight, a rising composer, at the piano, Mr. Wight’s op- era, ‘“Gabrina,” the book by the Marquise C:ara Lanza, will be produced in New York next winter by Mr. Rudolph Aronson. The firale of the program will be “The Star Spangied Banner,” sung by Mme. Rath- bone, with full orchestral accompaniment. ————— Sons Elect Officers, Gen. Russeil A.

Will Probably Recover. Doanelly Dutch, the colored boy who was accidentally shot Saturday afternoon by APPLIES \FQR AUTHORITY Metropolitan Railway Company Asks to Extend dts System, Application tor Rermit to Make Co: nectio: @m lorida Ave: Brightwood «Avenue Route. — It will be recalled: that during a hearing given by the District Commissioners, last week, on the bills providing for the exten- ston of the Metropolitan railroad, Mr. Na- thaniel Wilson, the attorney of the com- pany, stated that the road would, as soon as it could obtain the necessary authority, continue its system out Florida avenue frora $th to 7th stre2t, and then up 7th street or Brightwood avenue, as it is call- ed north of the city limits, to the property owned by the company, whereon a isop is Propossd to be made. By some this pro- posed move on th2 part of the road was doubted, but, as evidence of its sincerity in the matter, the company has applied to the Commissioners for a permit to make the necessary connections. Th? application has been approved by the office of the En- gmeer Commisssioner, and its issuance is expected to follow. President ‘Weaver of the Metropolitan company made the application, and in do- ing so explained to the Commissioners that a permit was granted for the work three years ago, but the extension was never mad? because of opposiiion im the shape of an injunction suit on the part of the Capital Traction Company. President Dun- lop of the latter company, having at the hearing last week stated that his road does not object, provided nothing will be done to prevent the opzration of his road along the two squares on Florida avenue to be jointly occupied by the two companies, President Weaver further explains that his road is prepared to at one> meke the ex- tension, either under the oli permit or undet a new one, it resting wita the Com- missioners to decide whether or not a new on2 is necessary. New Permit Necessary. ‘The office of the Engireer Commissioner has decided that a n2w permit should be granted, preferring that the work should not be done under the old one, and Nad drawn up the form of the paper. Should it be granted, and of that there fs little, if any, doubt, it would provid? that the Met- rcpolitan company be permitted to lay temporary tracks and use them during the censtruction of the new ones on Florida avenue and 7th street. It will previde that the underground electric syst2m now in operation by the Metropolitan company be continued on Forida avenue and 7th street, of course, to the property of the company on Brightwood avenue, and that thereon the company shail construct its loop. That is, on the same streets on which the com- pany operated its road on August 2, 1S04. Nothing was said by President Weaver in his application fer the permit as to the exact time when the work of construction will be commenced, but it 1s understood to be the intention of the company to com- mence it as soon as possible after permis- sion is granted. It is also expected that th> company will erect a car hou: on its property on Bright- wood avenue, and that when that is done the line out %ih street north of Florida avenue will be abandoned, provided Con- gress does not provide for the extension of the road out through Mt. Pleasant. Connecting Link. The completion of ‘this section of the 9th street line cf the Metropolitan Railroad Company as authorized by the proposed permit will, it is claimed, make that road a connecti with the Brightwood railroad w » Meaning of the law of i804. As has been stated in The Star, that law authorizes and requires the Metropol- itzn Raflroad Company to enter into recip- rocal trackage» arrangements with con- recting roads. the event the section of the road Is , 4% Indicated by the ap- plication for the permit, then such arrange- nis must be entered into with the Brightwood company: as will allow the use of the tracks of the two companies by the cars of each company or some other re- ciprocal agreement. In that event the cars of the Brightwood road instead of siopping at 7tn street and Florida avenue, as at present, will be con- tinued down 9th street over the tracks of the Metropolitan Com to the termi- nus. In the same wa: the cars of the Metrorolitan Company can be run out the 7th street road over the tracks of the Brightwood Company. By using the route via Kenyon street the Metropolitan cars can go to 14th street at the prescnt terminus of the Capital Traction 14th street line. The Trackage Arrangement. It 1s not known what the nature of the trackage arrangements of the roads will be, as Mr. Charles P. Williams, the general manager of the Brightwood company, told a Star reporter today that he had not been approached on this subject by any repre- sentative of the Metropolitan. He added that the matter had not been discussed by the two companies and that he only heard through a third persen of the application made today by the Metropolitan company for a permit to build the connecting link. When a Star reporter called at the oftice of the Metropolitan company this after neon the president, Mr. Weaver, was not there, neither was the manager, Mr. Cole- man, but the treasurer, Mr. W. J. W n, represented the company, and in reply to a question said it was not known when the work of building this extension would be begun, and probably nothing definite would be known for several day: —>——— THE COURTS.
