Stamford, April 2. This is Mission ary Day at the New Tork East Confer ence. Addresses were made this aft ernoon and others will be made this evening, covering the various fields, home and foreign. At the morning session reports were given toy the dis trict superintendterrts all showing- pro gress during the year, increase of membership and new churches form ed. A resolution offered bv Dr. Can- ask ing the New York Legislature to so change the marriage license law that it would be unnecessary for the bride to appear in person as applicant for a license, was withdrawn after Dr. Buckley had pointed out that a large proportion of the conference members were from Connecticut. It was de cided to leave the subject to action by New York churches1. One of the speakers this afternoon was Dr. HaxtseM of Africa. In addi tion to showing what has been accom plished in the Dark Continent through the efforts of Christian Missonaripa he described the country where Roose- veit intends to hunt. Today's reports upon the benevo lences of the church are regarded as highly satisfactory. Bishop Hartzell of Africa, is In this country for the purpose of trying- to raise $300,000 to celebrate Africa's dia mond Jubilee made a statement this afternoon in which he ridiculed a warning, recently published. that Roosevelt would run a great risk to his health by his trip to Africa, The Bishop pointed out that Roosevelt is a healthy man of 50 and that he can travel in comfort, with an up-to-date outfit after he completes his journey on a well-equipped railroad.

MAYOR HOLDS ORDINANCES One Creates Place of Assisstant Building Inspector And Other Makes Office of Hy drant Inspector. Mayor Lee Is still holding up two re ports of the ordinance committee, pass ed Dy me jouncu at the second meet ing in March, one to name an assist ant building inspector who shall be a mason and the other regulating the ofllce of hydrant inspector, ga He said this morning thar he would make It known before the middle of the current month whether he would sign the reports. As for the former ordinance the mayor said many people had called upon him who favor the ojhce. One of the strongest appeals for the creation of the ofllce had come from a member of the Board of Edu cation. There are four candidates for the position. Thomas Burns. Joseoh Pacquette, Ward M. Cowles, and John Neff. The mayor says the reason he is holding up the hydrant inspector ordi nance is that he wants to find out if the salary of $1,200 fixed by the ordi nance committee is waranted. He has been given to understand by the fire commission that $100 extra is all that has been paid for the work while it was held by Captain Daniel Johnson. The $1,200 salary provided by the proposed ordinance allows an additional $200. The number of hydrants has been greatly increased in two years. The members of the committee believe that the additional $100 is more than earned by Hoseman Frank Jioonan, of No. 1 company, who has performed the hy drant inspector work for some time past and who probably will be selected by the fire commission for the place if it is created. FILIPINO DELEGATE ADDRESSES HOUSE (Special from United Press.') Washington, April 2.-To-dav for the first time in the history of the govern ment a native Filipino, Pablo Ocampo. one of two delegates from the Philip pine Islands addressed the House of Representatives. He was a spare swarthy man with a characteristic Malayan cast of features. He was formerly one of Aguinaldo's insurrec tors. He spoke in broken JEngiish that was very difficult for the mem bers to understand. Ocampo discussed the Philippine question in the Payne bill saying it es tablishes a novel free trade system, free admission of American products into the islands and the restriction of Philippine importations to this coun try. "The lack of reciprocity In the Payne bill," he said, "makes it ine quitable as to the Philippines and is considered a poor and small course un der the protection of the United States, a gigantic and wealthy nation" He presented a resolution of the Phil ippine legislature asking abolition of the Dingley duty on sugar, manufac tured tobacco, cigarettes, agricultural machinery and apparatus for repairing roads. "If really the retention of the Philippines is not for the purpose of exploiting them," he said, "but to up lift and liberate them as heretofore declared by the American people, this House should not pass this objection able provision of the Payne bilL' KING TICTOR GIVES AUDIENCE TO WRIGHT (Special from United Press.)

ACTION IN DANE CASE EXPULSION Bishop Goodsell Explains That Resigna tion Was Under 'Complaints.' Woodbury Clergyman is Unfrocked and Can Never Preach Agiin. Mrs. Proctor Abandoned by Dane, Tele- graphs to Husband She is Now With Friends in Hawleyville Claims She Was Hypnotized. Stamford, April 2. If the Rev. Char les W. Da.ne, the Woodbury minister whose wife is suing for divorce on the ground of intollerable cruelty, had been publicly drummed out his expulsion from the Methodist Episcopal church would hardly have been more emphatic than the action of the New York East Conference yesterday afternoon, when. after an hour's debate in secret ses sion, it votedt to allow him to withdraw ' tinder complaints." Section 247 of Rule 20 of the Method ist book of discipline provides that. When a traveling preacher is accused of immorality and desires to withdraw from the church, the annual conference may permit him to withdraw, in which case the record shall be, 'Withdraws under complaints.' The relation of the church to the preacher shall then be the same as if he were expelled." "Our action amounts to an exDulsion of Mr. Dane," said Bishop Goodsell. It unfrocks him as completely as could be. He can never preach nor oe admitted to membership in a Meth odist Episcopal church of any confer ence, without first making a public confession of his sins and a. sincere expression of contrition. "The action is drastic, but the honor of the church demanded it. It is the first time in twenty-one years that any such action has been necessary in this conference. ' The Dane case was considered in se cret session on motion of Rev. Dr. J. M. Buckley, editor of the Christian Advocate. Rev. Dr. W. W. Bowdish, of New Haven, district superintendent over Mr. Dane, read the latter's note of withdrawal and presented his parch ments as deacon and elder. Dr. Bowdish also read a personal let ter from A E Knox, editor and pub lisher of the Woodbury Reporter. Dr. Bowdish told: the conference Mr. Knox has been one of Mr. Dane's closest friends and stanchest supporters. "It is a most deplorable thing," the note ended. "We are dazed yet, and don't know what to think." (Rev. W. E. Smith, of South Water- bun. told tile .confer! rvf n mnvpr- i rtaay and again Monday, when Dane handed him his cred'entlais and church funds. Another member of the con ference said1 he had been told by a rel ative of the woman in the case that Dane and she had departed together. "The case is a very bad one." said Dr. Bowdish.

WILL GET SYMPATHY IN HAWLEYVILLE Then Mrs. Proctor Will Return to Wood bury, Her Husband Tells Friends. Woodbury, April 2. Tired and wor ried, but happy because he had seen his wife, who left town on Monday soon after the Rev. Charles W. Dane, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church, had disappeared, George N. Proctor this afternoon arrived back in Woodbury following a visit to New York. Mr. Proctor said that on re ceipt of a telegram from his wife, he left at once for New York and met her there. He found her without money and in a sorrowful mood on ac count of her act. Mr. Proctor said that his wife told him she had drawn only $100 from the bank last week and as she had no money at the time that he saw her it is presumed that she gave it to the clergyman before he dis appeared. She said she couldn't explain why she had. followed the minister, but thought that she must have been In a hypnotic state. After she arrived in New York and found that she was pen niless her senses came back to her, she claimed. Mr. Proctor found out that when his wife left Woodbury she went to New Britain, where Mr. Dane had promised to meet her. She wandered around the station as he did not appear she took the next train for New York, and on Tuesday afternoon she wired her husband to meet her there. This morning both Mr. and Mrs. Proctor left New York, he for Water bury and she for Hawleyville, where she is to-night with Frank Hawley and family, who have always been in timate friends of the Proctor family. Mrs. Proctor's health is not good, her husband claims, and she told him she believed that there she could get the sympathy which she needs. She in tends, however to return to Woodbury in a few days, he says. Since Mr. Dane left town, Mrs. Dane has been living about three miles out of Woodbury with Mrs. Daniel Burton, who has been her closest friend since the Danes have lived in Woodbury. MR. KEEGAN EXPLAINS GARNISHMENTS In a statement made this morning James W. Keegan denied that the at tachments levied against sums in the possession of Attorney Frederick B. Fallon are properly attachments acainst him. He says that one at tachment is for a bill contracted by his son. for board, and that the son is 28 jears old, and pays his own bills.

Officially Denied by His Equerry From Biarritz. Sir Arthur Davidson Says King's Health is Improving Not so Vigorous as He Would Like to be King a Spectator at Basque Sports Today. (Special from United Press.) Biarritz, France, April 2. King Ed ward was a spectator at the Basque Sports to-day and although not ate vigorous as he was a year ago he de clared to his friends he was enjoying his much needed rest. He was plainly surprised at the re port that had been given wide circula tion in France and Germany that he is in a serious condition. It can be stated as a fact that while his health is not so vigorous as had been hopad for and his stay here has not yei braced him up as well as had been anticipated, the attending physicians feel confident that he will be fully re stored to health when the time arrives for him to return to London. Sir Arthur Davidson, the King's equery, wired from Biarritz this after nocn that the report that the King had been stricken was absolutely un true. He said the Kings health was steadily improving. Berlin, April 2. The Frankfurter Gazette to-day publishes a dispatch from its Madrid correspondent assert ing that King Edward, who is now visiting at Biarritz, has sustained a slight paralytic stroke. London. April 2. The reported ill ness of King Edward at Biarritz is discredited by the Central News which says: Anxious inquiries have been ad dressed to Biarritz in large numbers owing to the report In France and Ger many concerning King Edward s con dition, one of which has him stricken with a paralytic stroke. The stories are absolutely untrue. His Majesty is enjoying excellent health. The Central News statement that the King's health is excellent is recognized as inaccurate as it is known that the King is far from being a well man. No official or unofficial source however, admits the slightest knowledge of the reported paralytic stroke. The general condition of Edward's health is such, however, that the public is prepared for any development.

He said that there are nearly twenty Italians, most of them located In New Haven, who have ob tained licenses by fraud, claiming to be graduates of the University of Ge noa, Italy. When he undertook to In stitute proceedings' against them for perjury, he founi that it wouWt he nec essary to bring the dean of the univer sity to America to testify against them, and this was obviously out of the question.
