METHODISTS END GENERAL SESSION Pension Approved — Charges Against Eight Dismissed Kansas City, May 29 (A —Enter- ing the last of a month of sessons lere today, the quadrennial general conference of the Methodist Episco- pal church turned to assignment of Lishops and consideration of more commiittee raports. Working under pressure until last night to clear a crowded docket for adjonrnment today, the conference ipproved a new pension plan, dis- missed charges against eight bishops and voted to leave the Apostles Creed of the church unchanged. U'nder the new pension plan, the church would pay annually into a ministers' retirement fund, eight per cent of the pastor's salary to create a reserve for the retirement of aged clergymen, This would re- place the present annual assessment. The pastor would be required te contribute 21; per cent of his sal- ary while active, which would ae- crie to his heir in case of his death before retirement. As a reserve fund of ahout $20,000,000 would be required, no definite date was set for the plan to become effective. The charges against the bishops were dismissed on the recommend: tion of the episcopacy committee, which reported the allegations were for a technical nature and consid- ered unimportant. TIncluded were charges of heresy filed at this con- ference by the Rev. George A. Cooke, of Wilmington, Del., against Bishops W, McDowell, Washington, D. C., and Francis J. McConnell of Pitts- burgh, Pa. Bishop George A. Miller of Mexi- co City; Adna W. Leonard, Buffalo, N. Y. Titus Lowe, formerly of Singapore; Charles B. Mitchell, re. tired, formerly of Manila and Ed- gar Blake, of Paris also were cleared of charges, some of which had been on file eight years. 3 The conference authorized ap- pointment of a special commission to investigate the wind up the case of the Rev. Anton Bast, suspended bishop of Copenhagen. Mr. Bast | was allowed $800 for traveling ex- penses and $75 a month until he shall receive a nrinisterial appoint- ment in Denmark. However, it was specified this payment should not continue longer than six months. Drunken Driver Escapes From N. H.
