FRIENDS OF BISHOP FOSS MAKE UNSUCCESSFUL FIGHT r Gives Up Hope of Escaping the Retired List---Many Prominent Aspirants in the Methodist Conference Seek High Honor » — | | | 1 ! | | 1 | | | \ | | | o LOS ANGELES, May 16.—Contrary to expectations, the result of the secret| ballot taken last aturday by the; Methodist Genera nfercnce on the subject of the rement of Hishnnsi | Andrews, Mallalieu, Vincent, Walden | | and Foss was not made public at to-| | s session of the conference.

From the following list of Methodist | leaders the eight new American Bish- ops will be chosen. It is almost safe to positively assert that the first eight named will be made Bishops on Wednesday morning, when the elec- tions will be held: Dr. W. F. McDowell, board of education. Dr. J. F. Berry, editor of the Epworth Herald. Dr. Henry preacher. Dr. J. R. Day, chancellor of Syracuse Spellmeyer, the Newark Bashford, president of Ohio yan Seminary. Bovard, president of the v of Southern California. Dr. H. C. Jennings, agent of the West- ern Book Concern. Dr. George P. Eckman, the New York pastor. Dr. David pastor. ] Dr. J. W. E. Bowen, the colored edu- cator of Atlanta, Ga. It is thought that a constitutional provision will prevent the election of a colored Bishop, otherwise Dr. would be quite sure to win. EFFORTS FOR FOSS FAIL. In reference to the report that the Methodist ministers of Philadelphia had protested against the retirement of Bishop Foss, an authority high in the councils of the present conference stated that such protest could not be considered, as the rules of the confer- ence did not permit of a consideration of the vote on the matter. Bishop Foss when seen would not discuss the sub- ject. “There is no doubt, however,” he stated, “about my retirement. The vote of the conference last Saturday was 500 in favor of my being placed on the su- perannuated list.” In connection with the retirement of the five Bishops the conference this morning passed a resolution presented y Dr. G. H. Forbes of Minneapolis, Minn., providing for six months’ ful! pay for the Bishops from the date of their retirement. The regular annual salary of an active Bishop in the Methodist church is $5000, while each retired Bishop receives $2500 a year during lifetime. The amusement question also came up for further discussion at this morn- ing’s session. Dr. Elliott of Detroit presented a resolution setting forth that there was a doubt in the minds of many of the delegates as to the constitutionality of paragraph 258 of the discipline, and asking that the matter be referred to the judiciary committee for a report upon the sub- ject. After considerable debate, in which the charge of unconstitutionality against the amusement clause was characterized by Dr. J. M. Buckley, G. Downey, the Brooklyn | Judge C. Z. Lincoln of New York and others as an attempt to sidetrack the question to avoid a direct vote on its merits, the resolution was voted down. PASTORAL LIMIT UNCHANGED. The committee on itineracy, by a vote of €2 to 50 this afternoon decided against recommending any change in the pastoral time limit and the com- mittee report will be presented to the conference to-morrow morning. A mi- nority report which will be submitted as an amendment to the majority re- port will recommend the restoration of the five year limit with a special proviso for exceptional cases, in which 4t is stipulated that a Bishop may secretary of the | Bowen | In the revision committee this after- noon an effort was made to abrogate certain rules relating to the personal conduct of ministerial and lay mem- bers which were originally promulgat- ed by John Wesley and have been a part of the church discipline ever since. | It was urged that the church had out- grown these rules and that they were not applicable to modern times. The proposition was voted down, however, | by the committee on the ground that they should be retained for the proper guidance of and good example for un- christianized peoples DISCIPLINE AMENDMENTS. A memorial from the Nérthwestern Kansas Conference, providing for an appellate court, composed of one mem- ber from each church to the number of not more than fifteen or less than seven, to take the place of the quarterly conference as a court of appeals in the trial of church members was adopted and will be recommended by the com- mittee. It was also decided to recom- mend to the conference a change in discipline to provide that ministers who have been expelled or deposed for heresy cannot be recognized to preach until they have’'given a written pledge to the conference to abstain from fur- ther promulgation of heretical teach- | ings. e e— TWO MEN ARE KILLED IN RAILROAD ACCIDENT at Northern Overland Crashes Into Boxcars With Fatal Results.

TACOMA, Wash.,, May 16.—At Rose- | dale yesterday Frank McIntyre un- | wittingly threw the contents of a can of burning pitch over his six-year-old son, David. The child was dreadfully | burned and died while being brought | this morning to a hospital in Tacoma. | David noticed that the pitch in the can had taken fire while boiling on the kitchen stove. His father told the boy to leave the house while he placed the | two-year-old baby in the wood hox for safety. Seizing a wet cloth McIntyre lifted the can to throw it into the yard. David was opening a small gate lead- ing off the porch when his father ex- citedly threw the contents of the can into the air. The burning pitch came down over the bov, searing his face and legs and setting his clothing on fire. McIntyre ran after the agonized child and brushed out the fire on his clothing with his hands. The usual remedies for burns were applied to the little fellow and a local physiclan at- tended him. Almost completely cov- ered with bandages he was this morn- ing driven four miles to Big Harbor, where a steamer was taken for Ta- coma. On reaching the hospital it was found that the little sufferer was dead. e HAV NARROW ESCAPE IN RUNAWAY THREE Coroner Sawyer's Wife, Her Babe and Nurse Are Injured in Accident Near Bolinas. SAN RAFAEL, May 16.—The break- ing of a harness strap nearly caused the death of Mrs. F. E. Sawyer, wife of Coroner Sawyer; Miss Minnie Ma- ghetti, a nurse, and the nine-months- old daughter of Mrs. Sawyer last night. Mrs. Sawyer was driving home from Bolinas. The night was dark and the road was rough. When going down the grade on this side of Bolinas the breeching strap broke and the horse| became fractious. Mrs. Sawyer tried to stop the animal, but it ran away, and at a sharp turn in the road the buggy overturned and the three occupants were hurled violently to the ground. They were dragged some distance, when the horse and buggy dashed over a high embankment. Fortunately other vehicles were passing along and the passengers assisted the unfortunates. Mrs. Sawyer was badly cut about the head and face, the nurse was badly bruised and the baby seriously hurt. Unless complications set in it is be- lteved all three will recover. —_—e———— MISS McMILLAN’S BODY HAS BEEN RECOVERED Hundreds Watch Truckee River for the Remains of Victims of Sunday’s Tragedy.

LOS ANGELES, May 16.—The dele- gates to the sixth biennial convention of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En- gineers reconvened this morning after two days spent in sightseeing in Southern California. They remained in executive session throughout the day hearing resolutions from the various divisions of the order. As there are an unusually large number of these memorials it will require sev- eral days to consider and dispose of them and other minor matters. The more important business before the convention will not be reached before the latter part of the week. At the morning session of the Ladies’ Auxillary convention reports were read showing the condition of the in- surance department of the organiza- tion. There are now 4500 members MAY 17, 1904. HAYES FACTION VICTORIOUS ‘ IN THE SAN JOSE ELECTION| Mackenzie's Forces Routed by a Heavy Majority and the Entire Administration Is Elected With One Exception---Voting Machines Successful AVE A HOUSE D. WORSWICK OF RE i + SAN JOSE, May 16.—Mayor George D. Worswick and the administration ticket, with the exception of City Clerk Bellolli, rcted to-day. The opposition’s only s is Roy Walter, a newspaper man, and he had but a narrow margin of eight votes. Worswick's majority is 364. H. D. Matthews is elected Treasurer by 657 votes and John F. Carey Coun- cilman in Second Ward by 369 and W. L., Pieper Councilman in the Third Ward by 686 votes. The vote was as were re e follows: Mayor—George D. Wors- wick 2331, A. E. Shumate 1967; City Clerk—Roy E. Walter 2099, J. A. Bellolli 2091 Jity Treasurer—H. D. Matthews 2295, J. A. Lotz 1638, A. P. Murgotten 126; Councilman Second Ward—H. W. Otter 1638, John F. Carey 2295; Councilman Third Ward —Wesley L. Pieper 2421, D. J. Mc- Ginley 1725. The issue was the old fight between the Hayes and Mackenzne factions and the Hayes faction scored a victory. Two years ago the Hayes wing scored their first victory, when they elected their entire ticket with the exception of Clty Treasurer. Since then they have had full control of the city gov- ernment. Two months ago they se- cured the Treasurer's office through a defalcation of City Treasurer Mc- Geoghegan. Deprived of all city patronage, John D. Mackenzie has been at work build- ing up his machine for the past two years. ‘To-day’s result showed that he has been able to keep his forces well in line, but was unable to make gains from the other side sufficient to carry the city. The Hayes people made their campaign on Worswick's record for the last two years through their two daily papers. Last evening three arrests for illegal registration were made and to-day a man named Lawrence was arrested for fllegal voting at the request of Police Commissioner McCarthy. C. D. Acree, who was one of those arrested last night, was arrested again to-day on a bench warrant issued from Justice Ben- son’s court. He was released last night on bail and falled to show up in court this morning. Both factions worked hard at the polls to-day. The Worswick ticket had the most active workers, but the Mac- kenzieites were not idle. The Harbor Commissioner was about the city di- recting the fight in the various pre- cincts. San Jose used the voting machines for the first time to-day. These at- tracted a great deal of attention, not only here but'from about the State. This is the first time the machines have been used in any large city of the West. Election Commissioners Voorsanger and Roberts of San Fran- cisco were present, as was also Frank holding beneficiary policies and more H.

Miss Mooney, who says she is nearly | 19 years of age, says that she was for- | mally an inmate of the Costley Home at Auckland. Mrs. Trotman, who was matron of the institution, brought her to San Francisco and for a time treated her kindly. Finally her treat- ment was altered, according to the | | Mrs. Osborne. She worked in a restaurant and was so employed on March 24, when Detective Bailey took her to the Hall of Justice, and, after- ward, with Mrs. Trotman, to the steamship Sonoma and placed her on board. The girl’had no desire to re- turn to New Zealand and was happy to come back to this city. She was taken from the steamer at Honolulu and after a hearing before a Judge was given permission to go where she wished. —— e — GOODMAN’S WILL BENEFITS Pioneer Stone Manufacturer Leav $5600 to Worthy Affairs—Rela- tives Get Rest of Estate.
