BISHOP MAY BE
COLORED MAN:
NAMES of many prominent
METHODIST MINISTERS BE- j
FORE CONVENTION.
Special to Gateway by United Pre*s.
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y., May
1.—As the quadrennial session of the •
Methodist General Conference opened
here today to continue through the j
month, interest became keen about
who will be the bishops.
The conference will elect six. per
haps seven bishops, and perhaps
more. If a new law is enacted per- j
mitting bishops for races, it is as- j
sumed a negro bishop will be chosen.
One of the clergymen who is ex
pected to be elected a bishop is the
Rev. Dr. Ezra S. Tripple, president
of the Drew Theological Seminary.
Madison, N. J., Dr. Tripple is chair
man of one of the conference commit
tees.
Perhaps the next most talked of
man for bishop is the Rev. Thomas
Nicholson, of New York, secretary of
the Methodist Board of Education.
Dr. James Roscoe Day, chancellor
of Syracuse University, will attend.
Dr. Day is the only living man in the
history of Methodism ever elected to
the bishopric who refused the honor.
Another candidate for bishop is the
Rev. Dr. Franklin Hamilton, chan
cellor of the American Methodist
University, at Washington, D. C. He
ia a brother of Bishop John W.
Hamilton, of Boston.
The Rev. Dr. L. J. Birney, dean of
the Boston Methodist School of
Theology, is said to have his hat in
the ring.
Dr. David R. Downey, book editor ^
of the Methodist denomination Jusr
missed election at the Minneapolis
convention.
Friends of the Rev. Dr. Allan Mac
Rossie, superintendent of the New
York district, have episcopal aspira
tions for him.
There is some gossip that Professor
F. Watson Hannan, of Drew Semin
ary, may receive a good vote. He
was until a few years ago pastor of
one of the largest churches in Rrook
j lyn.
Many leading Methodists are of the
opinion that some o.‘ the new bishops
should Ik* chosen among the men who
have “made good” only as pastors.
Among the pastori being advocated
is the Rev. Dr. Andrew Gillies, pastor
of Hennepin Avenue Church, Minne
apolis. His salary is $7,500—larger
I than that of any other pa.stor and as
: large as the bishops' salaries.
Other pastors who art' possibilities
j art' the Rev. Dr. Charles B. Mitchell,
jof St. James’ Church. Chicago; the
| Rev. Dr. Matt S. Hughes, of Pasadena
S Cal., a brother of Bishop Edwin F.
I Hughes, of San Francisco, and the
Rev. Dr. Charles Wesley Burns, of
■ Germantown, Pa.
The Rev. Dr. Bertran S. Tipple,
pastor of the American Methodist
Church in Rome, may be made bishop
for Southern Europe. He is at pres
ent in this country. Dr. Ezra S.
Tipple is his brother.

FLYING JAPANESE FLAG j
a
m
■
The Mackinaw which formerly was :
in the Alaska trade, sailing to Nome
principally, has been bought by the
Japanese government for $300,000,
and is now sailing the Oriental seas
with the Jap flag at her peak. The
Seward, so well known in these
waters, has recently returned to Seat
tle from Vladivostok, and Captain
John Johnson relates some interesting
facts about that port in war times.
He was the only American with a ship
in port and he felt lonesome until
one day he saw the Mackinaw steam
in. Then he saw the Japanese flag
and he was lonesome again. Johnson
j says that the price paid for the
Mackinaw was altogether beyond her
value in times of peace. Some other
i interesting facts told by the Captain,
according to outside advices, were
! that in spite of prohibition in Russia
j the streets of Vladivostok are filled
| with drunken men, and that the
1 place is filled with prisoners, not
: Germans or anything else but Rus
sians. The only effect which he saw
j prohibition to have was that the
liquor cost more and was of so in
ferior a kind that many were dying
from its effects.
