Acrimonious Contest Is Ex- pected, and, So Far as Pos- sible, the Details Will. Be ., Kept from the Public. ‘When the name of Prof. Borten P. gBowme, of Boston University, was read in the list of ministers at the New York East Conference of tho Methodist Eptscopal Church, at the Simpson Church, on Clermont avenue, in Brook- lyn, to-day, the friends of Prof, Bowne Uned up on one side and those who charge him with heresy In his many published writings on religious subjects Uned up on the other. Then there was an arimated discussion, which promised become bitter, but the snapping of the whip of discipline curbed the pent- ‘up feelings of both sides, and the ton- ference unanimously decided that the charges were a matter for formal trial under church rules and not for public Uscussion, Prof. Bowne is to be tried by # court | of fifteen judges, with four advocates or the church, bent on his conviction, | ind only one counsel for himself, It is © be a secret trial, for the conference igreed that it would be a very bitter no and apt to develop sensations which t would be undesirable to let the world \t large know anything about. Mentioned Heresy Charm 4 The conference opened to-day, under the direction of Presiding Eider C. ‘8. Wing, of the North Brooklyn district. Dr. Wing reAd the ministerial roll, ask- ng after each name whether there was tnything against the man, He followed the reading of Prof. Bowne's name with the customary query, and then, beftre tny one could make response, he men- Moned the charges of heresy which had peen fled, At thia a numbor of friends of Prof. Bowne rose und asked for some defini- on of heresy. Some of the other side tempted to answer them and the Lscussion was growing Hvely, when Dr. Wing brought It to an end by declaring | that the whole matter was one for a urch court to decide. He did not read the charges’ against Prof, Bowne be- vause, he sald, they were long, and were tnown already to the conference. It was then moved that the conference ree up the matter, and this was car- tled. Judges Not Yet Chonen, ® After a brief discussion Jt, was de- tuled to have the body of presiding siders select fifteen ministers to act as trial judges. The fifteen will not be named until later. Meantime Rev. A. B, Sanford and Rev. W. H. Burgin were ppcinted secretaries of the court. Revs. \A. W. Burke, A. C. Eggleston, D. A. Gordon and George A. Cook were ap- pointed counsel for the Church, and Rev. J.

Another similar case in Harlem re- cently and one on Staten Island about a week ago have aroused the police of the t One Hundred and Twenty- sixth street station to a rigid Investi- gation.

A touching illustration of the pathetic scenes which will be witnessed next Monday and Tuesday on the East Side, when the city marshals begin the work of wholesale evictions, occurred to-day when Mrs. Phillp Schwab, her con- sumptive husband, his crippled mother and five Iittle children, were dispossed from their home, at No. 173 Avenue C. For twelve years Mrs, Schwab has been the sole support of this unfortu- nate family. She kept a dry-goods store and lived in two little roomg in the rear. In the twelve years she has built up a flourishing trade in the neighborhood and was getting along very well until two successive increases in her rent drove her to the wall. ‘Worked Fourteen Hours a Day. In addition to providing her five chil- dren with food and clothing and attend- ing the wants of her sick husband and his crippled mother, Mrs. Schwab hi had to attend her little store, and she has worked on an average of fourteen hours a day. Her landlord was a well-known east- side real estate man and he never charged her more than $40 a month for store and rooms. ‘This she could afford to pay and did pay promptly. On Jan. 1, however, this man sold the property to a woman of wealth. This woman does not live on the east side, It is sald that she lives in the fashionable quarter uptown, Her first act was to raise the rent to $60. This Mrs, Schwab managed to,pay by denying herself and her family even the necessaries of life. On the first day of the present month, however. the final blow cate, The rent was again raised, this time to $7. Mrs, Schwab couldn't pay it, . Turned Into the Street, Bhe was served with a dispossess notice and this morning her landlady dumped her, her goods and her sick charges and flye little childran out on the street. Friends of Mrs, Schwab got a van and the goods were taken off the side- walk, Meantime Mrs. Schwab secured @ store’ at Avenue A and Bightleth street for $45, where she will try to get along, There will be many such scenes as this on the east side on Monday, for that 's the final day, and all who can- not pay the increased rentals asked of them then must go. Justices Roesch and Hoffman, whose duty it Is to sign the dispossess’ warrants, have delayed matters all they possibly can, but thelr plain duty 1s before them and they cannot dodge tt. All the dispossess warrants now out, and there are over a thousand of them, are dated for Friday, but each one allows two days of grace, This will carry the unfortunates over Sat- urday and, Sunday. Fear to Arouse the People. The executive authorities ahd the judictary understand only too well what the consequences would be if an attempt were made to-day or to-morrow to din- possess those who observe the Pass- over. Stirred as they are by the seem- ing ‘injustice of the landlords, action be- fore Monday at least could not escape being construed as a radical attack. So Monday has practically been decided on as the day, and unless something {s done In the mean time there 1s no surety that blood will not be shed. Agitators Ever Heady, There are agitators on the east side ever ready for such @ moment as this, and‘they are moving among the poor people preaching doctrines of deflance. ‘They stand forth on the street corners and harangue for hours, and ‘it 4s not hard for them to hold an audience. Strangely enough, Jews of prominence say that it Is peovle of their own race and not landlords of another who ure pressing the Hebrew tenants, Not all the property owners are Hebrews, but the greater number are men who ten and twelve years avo bought land when the big estates were being divided. ere SUNDAY WORLD WANTS WORK MONDAY WONDERS. 4 ACH WOMAN USE WHIP ON POLICEMAN Mrs. H. H. Collins, Said to Be Very Wealthy, Fined $10 for Forcibly Attracting Attention of Policeman Kavanagh. Mrs. H. H. Collins, of No, 60 Perry street, a very wealthy woman, accord- ing to a number of friends who accompanied her to the Jefferson Mar- ket Court to-day, was fined $10 by Mag- ‘strate Barlow for the rather forcible manner in-which she attracted the at- tention of Policeman Thomas Kavan- agh, of the Charles street station. Kavanagh was returning to his sta- tion from a fire, when he suddenly felt a sharp sting on the cheek, followed by the winding of a leather thong about his neck. He turned quickly to see that the thong was attached to a whip In the hand of a woman seated in a high dog cart. Before he recovered from his surprise the leash had unwound, was Jerked out in a graceful curve and with a swish shot at him again and stung him on the ear, What Kavanagh said he said then did not go down on the court record. The record reads: “When she cracked the whip on my ear she called out: ‘Here, you police- man you, clear out these boys; they are annoving me.’ I asked politely: ‘Madam, are you intoxicated?’ “That is none of your buriness,’ she replied. ‘I own. all these houses that you see around here.’ Kavanagh then arrested the woman and she was locked up in the Charles street statfon. In fining the prisoner Magistrate Barlow sald that an Intoxi- floated woman had no business to drive in public streets no matter how much broperty, she owned. Mrs. “Helen Kirkman, who accompa- nied Mrs. Collins to ‘court, sald the prisoner owned $00,000 worth of prop- erty on Ferry scree.

WASHINGTON, April 6 — Bishop Spalding, of Peoria, a member of the Anthracite Coal Strike Commission, to- day urged the plan of arbitration con- tained In the Fons bill before the House Committee on Labor. The bill provides for A permanent Board of Arbitration, to which shall be referred disputes be- tween labor and capital, Answering questions Chairman Vreeland, Bishop Spalding sald It was not his opinion that the proposed tribunal would never be called upon to determine the question of what is a legitimate profit on the investment of capital.
