Board Instructs Com?
mission to Proceed
With Construction.
FUNDS ARE NOW
ALMOST IN SIGHT
Bishop Kilgo, in Telling Ad?
dress, Deprecates Giving to
Outside Causes to Neglect of
Building?Board Makes
Appropriations for Ex?
tension Work.
Speedy ciiifctiiiiniatioii of llic hopes
of Southern Methodism for a eliurch
building In Ibe city of Wellington,
which will titly express. In beauty ami
dignity. I ho position of the church In
the life of the notion, may I.xi.led
as the result of the setlon yesterday
Of the Boai'ii of Church F.xtenslon of
the Methodist episcopal Church. South*
In session In (his city*
The HllnnlatloiiH laid down by the
board In it-< resolution directing the,
beginning of the work will he speedily
compiled with. Thla statement was
made by liev. George S. Sexton, secre?
tary of the General Conference, com?
mittee em a Washington city repre?
sentative .lunch, who, overjoyed at,
the approaching completion of his
plans, said n> The Tlinoi'-Oispatoli that!
at the ne.Vt annual meeting of the
board U will be reported that con?
struction Is iMider way.
Wlloii liiipprntlvei
"The agitation of this enterprise,",
said the board's committee In Its re-]
port, which was nt anlmously adopted.'
"has now reached " stage which calls
for ah aggressiv? plan or concerted
Hction upon the part of this board.
It Is of the utmost Importance that
actual work upon the building be com?
menced before the next antiu.il meeting
of the board- This is indicated by the
need>< of the .Mount Veriiou Place
Church, and Is also demanded by the
exigencies of the canvass for money."
Therefore the committee recom?
mended: "That tho work of building
he begun by the commission as soon
as it bus secured IIS5.H0? In available
subscriptions, and whrjg the Mount
Vernon Place Church has Hooured at
least $26,000 In addition to the valuo
of the present church properly ($50.
100), and the subscription of the Balti?
more Conference shall. have readied
two-thirds of the $25,000 promised by
thai body: provided that no contract
shall be let until tho means are in
hand tc meet It, so that no debt shall
at any time be Incurred beyond the re?
sources available lo meet It."
Aliunnt Ansiircd,
Dr. Sexton says with glee that ho
has In sight the sum" of $197,857.00.
This is made up of the subscriptions
icciired in the four years since the pro?
ject was started, with the Baltimore
Conference pledge, the General Con?
ference plan of $ir.,nfn) n year for four
years, provided for in church exten
tdon assessment, and tho value of tho
Mount Vernon Place Church property
and pledges from that church. Tho
now Washington Representative
Church Is to take the place of tho
Mount Vernon Place edifice.
In the rVport of the General Confer?
ence committee. It was urged that
there be no further delay, which ":dls
courges its friends and discredits us
all. Flail lure Is noi to be thought of.
for that would mean disgrace and
damage to our whole connection."
So within a year or two a S-75.0110
church building will rear its head at
% the national capital, comporting with
the governmental structures which
adorn Washington, and showing the
visitors from all Mates and all coun?
tries what Southern Methodism will
nnd can do.
A .Notable Addres*.
It was regarded as Utting that fol?
lowing tills posit've action on the part
of the church extension board, an ad?
dress, memorable for Its vigor nnd
notable for Its plain speaking, should
*>e delivered upon the subject of this
Washington church by Bishop J. c. I
Kllgo. of North Carolina. This was
done last night at Centenary Church,
the seal of the board's meetings.
He talked first of the tendency of
the ago to rebuild. First ho spoke of
? tho changes in New York during the
past few yearn in all kinds of struc?
tures. Then he talked of less tangible
tilings, such as tho political structure.
"Wo have outgrown our fathers politi?
cally," ho said, "and we must rebuild."
One trouble with the Southern Meth?
odists, ho continued, was their lack
of patience. "We are," ho said,, "filled
with an insane nervousness, solf-per
pctrated and dollbcrately nursed. We
want to hold a meeting lo-night, ndnpt
plans for a church building to-mor?
row, build it and consecrate it next
Sunday. .,
"Wc say we are generous when we
are foolish; we say we are broad
minded when wc arc silly; we say wo
arc lnrge-hearled. when we are weak
headed; wo say we are filled with cos?
mopolitan sentiment, when we arc full
Instead of shallow conviction.
Give Money OiitMldc. 1
"We give lo Young'Men's Christian
'Association enterprises, lo Raraca en?
terprises, to Phllaihca enterprises'.
Theso things feed on our liberality,
filch our pockots anil leave us with a
phadow. T am not now discussing the i
undoubted good of these, efforts, but
I am protesting against tho spirit
which would give $1,500 for a Y. M.
C. A. gymnasium and withhold $50 for
a Sunday school room.
"It may bo wisp, to give to these,
other mutters outside of tlie church,
but you would have n bard time con?
vincing inc. Not long ago a man said
io mo that. ho. found In bis church a
large enough Held for all his activities
and for the expenditure of his moans..
"It is'a reflection on Methodism to
nay that one can lind a better agent
for actl Villen I ban his own church and
his own pnstor, T hope to see the
day when tho pastor and the bishop
shall have as largo a place nt. the
Methodist altar as an outsider."

EL PASO PLACE OF

General?Conference Will Be
Held Between Camp and

mands Explanation.
El Paso. Tex., April US.?The selec?
tion of El I'aso as the place Tor hold?
ing the formal peace conference and
tho naming of Judge Francisco Car
hajal. of tho Mexican huprcmo Court,
as the Federal commissioner, were Im?
portant developments In the peace sit?
uation to-day.
Judge Carhajnl is known to Madoro
hy reputation only, hut the insurrccto
leader considers the appointment as
satisfactory.
The government commissioner left
Mexico City Last night, but whether ho
is traveling via Eagle Fass or Laredo
was not slated. General Navarro's let?
ter to Madcro follows:
"I have boon Instructed hy my gov?
ernment Hint Ihe government, accedes
lb y nir wishes with regard to tho
meeting plnce of tho peace commis?
sioners, to-wit: On the Mexican sldo
of the dam lying between the city
of Juarez and your camp. 1 am also
instructed to Inform you that tho com?
missioner who represents lite govern?
ment left Mexico City last night."
Judge Carbajal, tho peace commis?
sioner. Is a jurist of the highest at?
tainments and considered a man of In?
tegrity ami Independence of character,
lie Is about forty-five years old;
Mux Appoint More Than One.
General Madoro, It is reported, may
appoint more than ouo commissioner
to represent him. it Is regarded as
certain that Dr. Vasqtioz Gomez will
be a member of the commission, as
Madero trusts blin Implicitly.
Don Frederlco Moye, wlui lias played
an Important part In bringing about
tho present promising situation, left
her& to-day for Mexico City.
The return of General Reyos to
Mexico makes It necessary for the in
surrectos to insist that President Diaz
shall give the rebels stronger guaran
! tees of security and liberty than hith?
erto offered, according to a. statement
given out by Provisional President
Madero to-day. Modern said:
"Wo cannot hut view with distrust
the order which brings hack to our
country one who cannot further peace
negotiations, but In whom ther>3 Des
elements of danger to those negotia?
tions.
"In the minds of those familiar with
Mexican politics the order which
brings General Reyes to Mexico Is
bound to arouse queatlbns as to the
sincerity of the President/ in tho pres?

BUT ANNEXATION
Another Note of Warn?
ing Is Sounded to
Canadians.
ALARMIST IS
REPUBLICAN
-J.
Prince, of Illinois, Can See No
Other Result of Reciprocity
Between Two Countries.
House Hears Attack on
Post-Off ice Department
1 as Political Machine.
Washington, D. C, April 28.-?ArM
othor declaration that annnsattton la
the desired end of the Democrats In,
pushing reciprocity; an attack on tKri
Post-Office Department as tho "great-i
est political organization of this oc,
any other land," and a speech by ?
new member of tho Houso revealing,
humors of a tariff right In Congress,
featured to-day's debate on tho froo;
list bill now pending before the House.
Mr. Prince, of Illinois, Republican,
attacking; the Canadian reciprocity bill;,
sounded tho annexation noto. Presi?
dent Taft's speech In Now York Thurs?
day night furnished his text. He said
that tho pouring of Americans Into tho
Canadian Northwest, and the attitude*
of the controlling forces of tho Demo?
cratic party, could menn nothing else.,
than annexation, reciprocity and . par?
tial free, trade with Canada being the
first step toward that ond. ^
Op Not Received.
"Dot mo say to' our neighbors on
tho North, bo not deceived," said Mr.'
Prlnco. "When wo go Into a country
and set control of It. we take lt.. It
Is our history, and It Is right that wo
should tako It It wo want It, and you
might as well understand at. The
Speaker has said so; the party back
of him has said so, and it does not
deny that that is Us desire."
Mr. Prince declavod that tho reci?
procity hill was tho worst bargain even
driven by ono nation with another, an^
that Ihe "Democratic farmers' froe list
hill ought to bo lnrbelcd tho 'farmers'
fako bill.' "
Tho real climax of the session came
when Representative Kont, of Cali?
fornia. iL new Republican member, de?
livered a semi-humorous speech on the
general tariff question, arraigning "a
revenue tnriff upon necessities." Uo
said that with other novices In ?tho
I House, he folt sura ho had absorbed
' speeches until he had "learned much
that cannot possibly bo true," and that
the Congressional Record was tilled
with a mnss of mathematics "proving
what is logically absurd."
"I am a Republican, or what used
lo be a Republican." Mr. Kent observ?
ed, "because 1 believe In tho protection
of Infant Industries that stand 'some
eventual chance of becoming self-sus?
taining. Rut mnny lniVustrles. having
outgrown tho cradle, have not been re?
quired lo hustle for their livelihood,
but have bcon carried bodily to a ward
in the hospital whero our standpat
frionds advocate keeping them, during
all eternity, to be doctored, nursed and
nourished at tho public expense."
Mr. Kent said that a protcctlv?~tnrlf?
was an attempt to "tax ourselves rich.'*
"The nation can acquire wealth, It
not merit," ho said, "by unanimously
consenting to the reciprocal picking oC
pockets by all tho "people."
To show tariff inequalities. Mr. Kent
said that "Mr. Rockefeller probably
poys less government rcvenuo on tho
food he consumes than does tho aver*
ngo hod carrier. He would doubtless
like to pay as much, but ho can't wlthi
out eating as much."
Groat Political Machine.
"The Post-Offlco Department Is the
greatest political machine over con-,
?trueted In this or any othor country,
and It In openly admlnlstored as a poli?
tical organization."
This was the charge made on tho
floor of Ilia House by Mr. Cullop, oi\
Indiana, who referred to Postmaster-.
General Hitchcock ns being tho creator
and presiding genius of this organi?
zation.
Too much time de-voted by tho head
of tlio Post-Olllco Department to
political affairs and too little to busi?
ness, were declared by Mr. Culloj to
bo responsible for tho annual deficit
In tho operation of tho department. He,
said that tho people should know whe?
ther any of the 272,000 postmnsters on
employes had been discharged or re?
duced In rank for failure to perform!
political duties or contribute to cam-,
palgn funds, and whether employes aro
regularly assessed for campaign pur- .,
posos. and are punished If they do not;
comply.
He declared that tbu appointive,
power lodged with the President 1?
greater than that enjoyed by any
.foreign monarch.
"The power vested in the President
is almost unlimited." ho said. "No man
is wise enough, or good enough, op
great enough to bo intrusted with such.1
power. It Is tho oxporlence of the
world thnt men clothed with such pow?
er beconio Impiitlont of rostcalnt,'"
Mr. Cullop advocated tho direct elec?
tion of many of tho Federal employes,
such as I'nlted States marshals and
postmasters.

nation of tho Canadian government to.
