Buchtel of the University of Denver, and will in all likelihood be brought before the general conference at Los Angeles next month. Speaking here to a gathering of Methqdlstl he said: “A new departure is demanded by | our times in Methodism—a change of policy to meet the conditions of the times. It seems to me a disgrace that with a membership of over 8,000,000 we have made a gain of but 100,000 in the last year. Why is it that we have not made a greater gain? A mutuality of labor by the pastor and the people will make the church grow in after time. “We ought to make the church a pure democracy. The time has past when we can distrust our people. Each lay delegate to a general .conference represents about 10,000 members. Our lay representation at the general con- ferencé should be equal to the minis- ters. There should be a lay répresenta- tive from every church in America ac- cording to its membership. The lay representatives should have charge of the business of the church exclusively, and the ministers have charge only of the minisetrial functions. If we had twice as many lay delegates at the general conference as ministers it would be better for all concerned. ‘Were this so there would be better sal- aries and they would be better paid. All church officers should be elected by the congregations. Our Bishops should be elected at our annual con- ferences, and missionary bishops should be native to the country where they are to serve. Our present bishoprics are but archbishoprics. Practically we have no Bishops. The Bishops should | be brought into closer contact with the ministers and the churches. Bishops should be retired by the age limit at 66, 68 or 72 years. The general conference takes itself too seriously. Methodism is strong in men. We must maintain our own great educational institutions, ‘and, above all, we must infuse more life into our church affairs in accord with these modern times.” — e ¢ Strong support is being given to a REAL ESTATE Oakland WEENEY.

Previous to the big game Hampton tried to beat Louts Levy and George James, but they proved too much for him. .Hampton won the first game, but the next two went to James and Levy.

Telephone THECS PISTOLS D0 NOT SCARE Ignatz Fischel's Indiffer- ence to Death Puzzles Men Seeking to Get His Money 4592, Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, 2148 Center Street, April 17. Ignatz Fischel's indifferent u!tilu§° toward the threats of two thugs to kiil him saved him from being murdered in front of his heme at 1934 University avenue at an early hour this morning. The victim was absolutely contemptu- ous in his treatment of the highway- men, so much so that it frightened all their nerve away and them, too. Fischel was about to enter his gate just aftér closing up his meat market when he was confronted by a masked man who flourished a big revelver. When Fischel looked around to get his bearings, for he was not frightened. he bumved into another masked man with a big pistol. This fellow had jumped over ‘the fen of Fischel's neighbor, behind which he had been concealed. “Throw up yofir hands,” commanded the first man as he rubbed the nose of the pistol against Fischel's breast. “What for?” asked the victim. “We want your money,” came the reply. “You can't have it,”” Fischel said. “Then we'll plug you with a bullet,” said the second fellow. | ‘“All right,” replied Fischel. “Can't | die but once. Might as well die now | as any time. Shoot away.” But the highwaymen did not shoot. They hesitated to murder a man so evidently contemptuous of death. In the meantime Fischel had retreated in- side his yard a few feet without being | noticed by the men and at the proper moment he began to shout lustily: | “Help! Murder! Police!” The cries brought Mrs. Fischel to the door and when she opened it the thugs fled. One went north on Louisa street, and the other went up Univer- | sity avenue to Milvia stréeet and dis- | appeared.. but not before Fischel had secured his pistol and sent a shot after them. The shot aroused the neighbor- hood and a search was made for the fellows, but they had escaped for good. Fischel said to-day that the high- waymen would have got $160 from him if they -had been successful in holding him up. He believes the men are two who visited his place yesterday after- noon on the pretense of inquiring for a man named Barnes. He ‘describes | them as young men wearing slouch | hats.

A recitation by Miss Mamie O'Donnell and a vocal solo by Paul E. Mertz were both excellent; so also was the character song by the Misses Stella Cotter and Hazel ‘Strohl.
