BIRMINGHAM, Ala.,, Dec. 26.—In a general fight between white men and ne- groes at Childersburg yesterday afternoon a white man and his son were killed, while a white boy and one negro were wounded. With great difficulty a general outbreak was prevented. The negroes ara now In jail at Talladega. The dead: J. BIRD, middle-aged, white man. REUBEN BIRD, his son, aged 15 years. The wounded. Tom Holley, a negro, probably fatally; George Bird, white, shot 1n the legs. The trouble grew out of a crap game, the negroes having quarreled over the winnings. Tom Holley shot at one of the party, when J. Bird, a white man, came up and advised the negroes to stop fight- ing. Holley, becoming angered at the in- terference, fired on Bird, mortally wound- ing him. Bird’s two sons rushed to his siae and one of them shot the negro Hoi- ley, inflicting a fatal wound. By this time the negroes were firing on both the boys and they began to seek shelter. | Reuben Bird went to his father, who w: dying, and was ordered by George Woods, a negro, to run. The boy begged to remain by his father, but on faflure to move was shot dead. Charles Woods, father of George Woods, then shot the elder Bird again. Georse Bird was shot in the leg while escaping. A large crowd of whites quickly gathered and, surrounding the negroes, captured them all and took them to Tailadega. For a while it seemed as if a race riot would result, but the quick action of con- servative citizens prevented an outbreak.

CHICAGO, Dec. 26.—Announcement was made here to-day that the new constitu- | tion of the Methodist Episcopal church, which was adopted at the last general conference of that denomination, held in the Auditorium in 1900 and referred to the various conferences throughout the cbun- try, has finally been approved by the three-quarters vote required. The vote is as follows: Ay 8968; nays, 2231. The element which opposed the new or- ganic law of the church because it pro- vided for the admission of women as dele- gates to the general conference made war on the constitution all along, but met with defeat. One hundred and twenty-one annual conferences voted on the question, a total of 10,709 ballots being. cast by delegates. The principal changes provided for in the new constitution are: It gives women the right to sit as dele- gates in the general conference, gives laymen's electoral meetings authority to vote on constitutional questions and changes the vote necessary in the gen- eral conference to amend the constitution from three-fourths to two-thirds.
