Methodist Bishops Seek Fund of $10,
000,000 for Care of Aged Min
isters and Families.
CHICAGO, April 27.—The bishops
of the Methodist Conference, now in
session in this city, are considering
a plan by which thep hope to raise
the sum of $10,000,000, the interest
of which will be used to provide pen
sions for the old ministers of the
church, who are unable to earn a liv
ing and must be provided for after
having spent a lifetime in the work
of spreading the gospel among the
people. The plan is also to care for
and support the widows of the min
isters who die in the service of the
church and also to properlyy educate
the children of the preachers.
The plan for the campaign to raise
the necessary fund will be started
as soon as the details are worked out.
The effort to secure the necessary
ten millions will require the co-op
eration of ail the churches in the
United States and the campaign will
be nation-wide.
UNCLE JOE CANNON
DOES NEW DANCES
SAN FRANCISCO, April 27—Un
cle Joe Cannon, former speaker of
the House of Representatives, Wash
ington, D. C., danced and waltzed in
the big New York building on the
exposition grounds today in order to
keep his promise made five years ago
that he would attend the fair and
dance in the New York building. Un
'cle Joe was rather slow in dancing
the new steps, but some of his mo
tions led his audience to believe that
the former speaker had at some time
seen Little Egypt doing her dance
that made the Midway in Chicago
famous.

BIG SUIT AGAINST
SEATTLE TIMES
Former Engineer Thompson Wants
$75,000, Claiming Libelous
Statements Published.
SEATTLE, April 27.—The suit for
$75,000 damages brought by former
City Engineer R. H. Thompson against
the owners of the Seattle Times, of
this city, started this morning and
the jury to hear the case will be se
cured by tomorrow, when the open
ing statements will be made by op
posing counsel.
Thompson expects to secure a large
judgment, claiming that the state
ments published by The Times were
libelous and were published with mal
ice.
The Times was forced, two weeks
ago, to publish a retraction of the
libelous statements made against
former Congressman Bryan, of this
state. Bryan sued for $200,000 and
finally dropped the suit upon pay
ment of $10.00 and a retraction by
the paper of all its charges.
