Oklahoma City, Okla., May 6.— Methodist connection with Vanderbilt university at Nashville, has, through the recent decision of the Tennessee supreme court, become a mere shad- ow, says the address of the bishops or general superintendents of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, at the opening of their quadrieanial conference here today. After several years of litigation, foliowing efforts of a church commission to reach a satisfactory solution of the question of the Methodist churcn’s control of the university, the Tennessee supreme court recently decidec that the churcn through its bishops did not control the school, “The decree of the court leaves to the church a mere shadow of connec- tion with the university,” cec:ared the address,” which in our opinion dces not justify the church in any attempt to direct the affairs or the institution or assume any responsibility for it. “We are thus deprived of what we honestly believe to our own and which by hundreds of actions taken in our general and annual confer- ences, and in the board of irust of the university.itself has Deen af- firmed to be the property of the church. Indeed, the ownership of the university by the church was never questioned for ‘nore than thirty years by any vne within or without the church. Bow to Decision. 5 “But as law abiding citizens we now to the decision of the court. 'rhis, however, does not mean tnat we ure bound to agree that the church has received justice in what has been done and decided. “We don’'t presume to indicate to you what course you should pursue to repair the loss which has neen In- flicted on the church. That is 1or the wisdom of the general conference to determine * * * * it is respect- fully recommended that tiae wnole matter be referred to a select com- mittee to report what should be ‘lone as the case now stands. After touching upon the growth in church membership the bishops pald their respects to so-called schemes for social betterment. “Many persons would have the church rely on eugenics,” the ad- dress says, “rather than upon regen- eration by the Holy Ghost for the making of a new and nobler race, and bring to bear upon man, the frce agent, stock-raising expedients and plant culture devices as the most ef- flcacious means to improve -pecies But she may not heed the voices of those spurious renovators of inan- kind * * * * belleving that the' soul | of all improvement is the improve-] ment of the soul.’” Other Matters Urged. The conference was urged to ‘take such action as may be deemed .1eces- sary to secure the speedy ana credit- able erection of a church in Wasn- ington, D. C., adequateiy represenia- tive of our Methodism,” and on the question ow “laiety rights” for women the cause for a:widespread discussion at the 1910 general conference, the address declared: “We have reason to believe that the reason .or the de- mand for this kind or equality 1s not in harmony with thé general ~enti- ment of the women of our church.” That no new bishops would bhe elected at the present general con- ference was indicated. HARTFORD MAN SUES TO RECOVER §$12,000 Constable Fred Winkle Attached Property at Corner of Dewey and' Bronson Streets.

Wall Street, 10:45 a. m.—Specula- tion was characterized during today's early market by the growing dull- ness and hesitation such as appeared in yesterday’s trading. Only a nom- inal amount of business was transact- ed in the first half hour. Lower prices were made all through the list, but these changes were slight and were due to the absence of demand rather than to bear pressure. The market apparently had settled down for an indefinite period of waiting, pending developments in the Mexican situation. Close—The market closed easy to- day. Narrow movements governed today's operations, with speculative activity repressed by the absence of new developments. Early weakness was followed by recovery but prices again fell toward the end. Stocks were supplied more freely in the finul hour. Missouri Pacific and Northern Pacific declined a point and Chesa- peake 1%. The ‘following quotations are fur- nished by G.
