EAST CONFERENCE
Reports Showing Progress of the Year
Given by Superintendents-Roosevelt
in no Danger Says Bishop flartselL
(Special from United Press.)
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license, was withdrawn after Dr.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. The
Bishop was 55 years old when he went
to Africa, has traveled all over the
continent and declares it is "utterly
absurd to suppose Roosevelt will be in
any peril."
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

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."

bun. told tile .confer! rvf n mnvpr-

handed him his cred'entlais and church
funds. Another member of the con

Dane and she had departed together.
"The case is a very bad one." said
Dr. Bowdish. Mr. Dane's presiding el

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.

KING EDWARD
IS REPORTED
AS PARALYZED
False Rumor Given Publicity in Conti
nental Papers.
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.

HEALTH
BOARD AFTER.
FAKE DOCTORS
Thai Connecticut is overrun with
quack physicians and fake Italian doc
tors was the substance of the testi-Hr-mierht
out by a hearing- upon
the oUl giving tne amie domu m
Health power to revoke the certificate
' of a physician where it was procured
bv fraud or misrepresentation or for
any other sufficient cause, before the
committee on Public Health and' Safety
yesterday afternoon in ifiartrora.
Dr. J. HI Towns-end, secretary of the
atata -Rnraivi nf Health, said that a
condition had arisen in the State
whereby a lot of Italians were practic
ing medicine without the proper quali
fications and that he thought the State
in.iilrl h raroteeted from quacks of
this kmd. 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.
Rocco Ierardi, assistant prosecuting
attorney of New Haven, speaking in
favor of the Mt said he could tell how
the Italians had obtained their diplo
mas and that many of them had paid
as high as $75 for a license to practice
In this State.
Dr. Leonard Bailey of Middletown,
questioned him as to whether he was
an Italian and if so why he was giv
ing testimony against his countrymen.
Mr. Ierardi replied that any one would
when it was in -the interests of public
health. , '
Hon. Lewis Sperry. member of the
State Health Board, favored fhe bill,
but recommended that the power of
prosecution should be vested with the
courts in place of the Board of Health.
