THE LIST 70 BE ANNOUNCED TONIGHT The Colleges Receive Attention of the Baltimore Conference. PLACE OF N IXT MEETING The principal business of the morning meeting of the Baltimore annual confer- ence, in session at Waugh M. E. Church, was the selection’ of the place of the next cenference and the adopting of a resolu- tion changing the basis of representation of the conference in the general confer- ence. The basis was formerly on a stand- ing of one delegate to every forty-five ministers. Rev. C. H. Richardson offered a resolution that as the conference had voted on lay representation, and that as the body was already too large to be well handled, it would be well to have the rep- resentation one to sixty, instead of one to forty-five. This called up a sharp discus- sion on the subject, some of the delegates being vioientiy opposed to the measure, ameng them being Rev. Dr. Lanahan of Baltimore. It was decided to put the ques- tion to ballot, which was done, and the resolution was carried by a vote of 126 to 26, though it was the opinion of the mi- nority that the change was a wrong one and the representation was not large enough. = Rev. Mr. Herbert, pastor of Caroline M. E. Church, Baltimore, extended an invita- tion to ‘the conference on behalf of his church to meet there next year. It was accepted with thanks. The morning session of the conferenc Bishop Merrill presiding, was opened with devotional exercises conducted by Kev. J. A. Price. A resolution of thanks was t2n- dered Revs. J. B. Stitt, W. C. Babcock and W. I. McKenney. A’ resclution of sym- pathy was ordered to be sent to levs. Still and Dashiells on account of .. The subject of race-track gambling 2ferred to a committee to invest matter of the National Anti-Saloon League was also referred to a committee, consisting of Revs. L. B. Wilson, C. W. Baldwin and C. H. Richardson. Bishop Bowman's Regrets. A letter was read from Bishop Bowman regretiing his inability to attend the sions cf th> conference, and Rev. Li B. Clark was appointed a committee of one to make an appropriate reply to the letter. After this the question of the ministerial representation was brought up by Rev. Mr. Richardson, when the matter was decided, the vote being taken with the result stated. The announcement of the superannuated ministers was made. They are Revs. W. C, Muller, M. A. Turnor, M. L. Hawley, J W. Stark, J. D. Moore, B. H. Smith, 'W. M. Osborne, J. R. Cadden, J. W. Hedges, J. D. Still, H. C. McDaniel, S. H. Cum- mings, J. H. Dashiells, F. W. Shriner, J. H Lemon, W. C. Griffith, G.

A comimitiee was appointed to notify the President of the ac- tion of the conference. The Colleges. President Reed of Dickinson College spoke of that tution. He declared thai this year the college has more than four hundred students, a number which, in his opinion, is too large to give the students the attention which they should have. He indorsed the action of Williams College in protesting against having more than three hundred students matriculated. “They sre not all saints at Dickinson, though half or them are probably study- ing for the ministry,“ Dr. Reed said, “but we try and look out for them morally well as mentally. If a boy cannot be trust- ed at home, however, he should not be sent to college, as Dickinson is not a re- formatory institution. I think the matter which came up recently in an institution in New York was ihe result of a large at- tendance at the college, there being over 1,009 students there. Two students were expelled for grossly immoral conduct, and they made the plea of statement upon the grounds that the institution had noth- ing to co with them morally. The moral precept business was absoived by the fac- on the ground that students could be given the proper attention. eSit ool house, in my opinion, n should church, ‘and beside the ordinar’ cular text book should always be pl. the Word of God. It will be a dark day for this country when Christian- it ed from the great institutions of learning. Dr. Reed told of the women of Dickinson, and gave the conf¢rence a raking over the cozis for the manner which he thought the college had been treated in the matter of funds. He d ed that in the past fifteen years less money had been conirib- uted by the church to Dickinson in the aggregate than had been donated in a lump stm to some of the other institu- ti poke in regard to rsity School of Theolozy eminary.

Matter of Appointments. The matter of appointments in the con- ference is a matter of great interest natur- ally to the delegates. It was thought that Rev. Dr. Larahan of the Methodist book concern in Baltimere would be given a charge here, but he stated positively that he world not accept it, as he wished to continue his present work. Fresiding Elder Wilson of the Washing- ton district, it is probable, will go to the First Church of Baltimore. Rev. S. M. ock has been offered the presiding eldership of the Frederick district, or pas- terate of Waugh Church here, but it is not thought he will accept either. Kev. Page Milburn, pastor of North Capitol Street M. E. Church, it is pretty certain, will be ed to seme other charge, but it is not definitely decided where he will go.

Bistrict Counsellor Disapproves of Special Privileges to Wheelmen. In an opinion rendered today the attor- ney for the District holds that the District Commissioners are without authority to make any exception in the enforcement of the police regulation governing bicycle handle bars. The regulations prohibit, among other things, the use within the city limits by bi- cycle riders of handle bars lower than four inches below the saddle. This provision of the regulations has been strenuously op- posed by a great number of wheelmen, par- ticularly by members of bicycle organiza- tions, but their efforts to obtain a modifica- tion of it have so far proved fruitl a recent hearing before the Commiss in the matter the sugg ion was made by one of the board that if an application from some regularly organized bicycle club for a permit authorizing the members thereof to use handle bars lower than four inches be- low the saddle on regularly planned runs were made the Commissioners might find themselves authorized to make an excep- tion in such a case. Subsequently the Com- missioners received applications of that character from the Levant Wheelmen and from the Century Cycle Club. They were referred to the chief of police, who recommendcd that they be denied, for reasons alrcady given in The Star. The opinion of the attorney for the Di trict is in line with the conclusions reach in the matter by the chief of police, and it is expected that it 1 end the matter.

DEVELOPED BY AUTOPSY The third murder tric] in the Distric within a month was commenced today be- fcre Judge Bradley in Criminal Court No. 2. The defendant is Charles Winston, a young colored man, who is under indict. ment for the muréer of his wife, Emma Winsten, the 13th of last December. Messrs. Turner and Keys are the attorneys for Winston, while Assistant District At- tomneys Shillington and Laskey represent the government. : The entire session of the court yesterday was devoted to empaneling a jury. That Froceeding was not concluded yesterday, pnd therefore occupied a part of the time of the session this morning. The jury as completed consists of the following: Chas. W. Lesh, Bernard Kuhn, Walter 8S. Gray, Grafton Tyler, jr., Frank Magee, William McK. Osburn, Joseph Howard, Alexander Frazier, Joseph C. Kane, Francis E. Smith, Jemes T. Childers and W. H. Hcugkton. Assistant District Attorney Laskey plained the case to the jury from ihe standpoint of the prosecution. Winston went to the room occupied by himself and wife, at 521 3d street southwest, between 8 and 9 o'clock the morning of Monda: December 13, Mr. Laskey said. Emm, who worked at night, returned betweea o'clock and 11 o'clock. She prepared break. fast and then went upstairs. Between o'clock and 1 o'clock Elizabeth Johnson, Emmv's sister-in-law, who was down stairs, heard a noise as though something had fallen. She then hgard Emma cry “Mercy!” The reports of two pistol shots followed. Elizabeth summoned a police- man, who went upstairs and found the door of Winston's room locked. The door was forced cpen. Emma was lying on the bed bleeding profusely from three wounds in the head. Winston was found by the side of the bed on his knees, bleeding from a wound in the face. Continuing, Mr. Laskey stated that the merning in question Winston obtained a pistol from a saloon wher2 h> had pre- viously lefi it. The pistol was found on the bed. The government >xpected to prove, ccncluded Mr. Laskey, that Winston had repeatedly threatened to «ill his wife. Elizabeth Johnson, First Witness. The first witness called by th2 govern- ment wes Elizabeth Johnson, sister-in-law of Emma Winston. She heard something fall upstairs at the house, 521 3d street southwest, she said, about noon, the 13th of Dec2mber. The noise was followed by two pistol shots. Witness heard Emma ex- caim: “Lord, have mercy.” Witness sent for a policeman, who en- tered the room of the Winstons and found such a state of affairs as Mr. Laskéy had describ2d. Blake Johnson, husband of the preceding witness and brother of Emma Winston, testified, principally, to having heard Win- ston utter threats against his wife on sev- eral occasions. “I'll make you smoke,” and “I'll kill you this night,” were among the threats which the witness said were uttered. by Winston. The Autopsy. Dr. L. W. Glazebrook, deputy coroner of the District of Columbia, who made an au- topsy on the body of Emma Winston, next tcok the siand, and described to the jury in. detail the condition of the remains. Three wouads were found, evidently gun- shot wounds. One had entered the face in front of the right ear, the bullet lodging near the top of the skull. The second bul- iet entered the right cheek and passed up- ward benzath the skin and out at a point above the right eye. The third bullet en- tered the face beside the nose and passed to the back of the mouth. One of the wounds, in the opinion of Dr. Glazebrook, was critical, another would probably have of itself resulted fetally in the absence of prompt surgical assistance. The immediate cause of death was acute hemorrhage, caused by a gunshot wound. The woman at the time of death was remarkably healthy. Testifies to Threats. Luey Nichol: ister of Emma Winston, testified to threats on the part of Winston directed against his wife. He said to her on one occasion: “Til kill you yet.” Mrs Winston said to the witness that she was afraid of her husband. Henrietta Adams, who resided next door to the Winstons and occupied a room in her house that corresponded to the room oceupied by the Winstons in the other house at the time of the alleged murder, heard Emma Winston say: “Don't, Charlie, don’ don’t, don't.” Charlie, ved by a scream, ‘Murder! murde: Dr. C. W. Childs, who was next called, stated that after the shooting, December 13, he was called to the house 521 3d street southwest, reaching there shartly after 1 o'clock. Emma Winston was then dead. Her husband was driven away from the house in an ambulance just as the witness arrived. Jeremiah Dee, emptoyed at a restaurant on 9th street, Cpposite the Center Market, testified that the morning of the shooting Winston visited the restaurant and was given a pistol that he had left there with the proprietor several days before. At this point of the trial a recess was taken, ind then Government Closes. After recess Dr. Juenemann of the Emer- gency Hospital, Margaret F. Dunn, W. J. Howard and Policemen Nicho'scn, Osborn, Schrceder and Vermillion testified for the sovert.ment, which then announced its case cosed. In outlining the deferse the jury was in- fcrmed by counsel that Mrs. Winston committed suicide and that before killing herself she fired the shot that wounded her husband. The defendant was placed on the stand in his own bebalf. He declared that his wife accused him of running with another woman, and was, therefore, angry with him. The morning of the 13th of Decem- ber, he said, he fell asleep in a rocking chair. He was awakened by a pistol shot. He went to his wife, who was lying on the bed. He saw that she had his pistol. He tried to get it from her, when he felt a sud- den shock and did not remember anything further until he came to his senses in the hospital. Winsten had not concluded his testimony when this report closed. es The Chinese language is to be taught hereafter at Oxford. The lecturer ap- pe:nted is Mr. Bullock of New College.
