Opposed Re-adjustment.
II. M. Crydi'invlhe spoke In opposition
to the leuilJUHtmcut. tie ni'Kiiod tliat
lnsteud of InercaHlnB the value'ot Meth
od I l service it would diminish Its ef
fectiveness In the i lira I districts. In
many ycaiH no commission hu'i ever
tigrced as to readjustment.
W. U Thorpe uskeiV that It be re
ferred to the bishop and his cabinet.
This preclpltutcd an excited argument,
the majority exprcssliiR' disapproval.
Tho bishop sald amiably that tech
nically, tlm decision belonged to the
bishop. Ho did not thlnl: that any
bishop had a desire to run counter to
the conference. A readjustment would
necessitate the appointment of one less
presiding elder and would greatly In
terfere with the programme at close of
conferenrp. Under the llvu-dlstrlet plan
a new district probably called the
Scrnnttm district would bo, formed, tak
ing in tho city of Scranton and tacking
it to the present Honesdnle district.
Chenango would be eliminated by div
iding it between Oneonta and Bing
hamton. E. A. Qutmby aroused the emphatic
objections of Dr. A. Grlliln, by stating
thnt one young man who had served
live years in a certain district was told
by his presiding older tliat notning
more could bo done for him, and that
he couldn't pry into the other districts
with a crow-bar.
J. B. Sumner said that twenty-eight
years ago ho had presented a report
on the same subject in the same house.
Ho had wished to see tho districts
changed, but was long ago discouraged
with the project, for men who promised
to support him had failed to stand by
him. He did not care whether theie
were five or six, but he believed a great
Injustice is being done under the ex
isting conditions. He believed it was
a great mistake to bring up the matter
at the end of the conference.
In. Favor of Relief.
J. D. Hartsook spoke in favor of re
lief for tho Chenango district. Dr.
Haul spoke on the subject, and in his
own way ho roused the conference to
roars of laughter. He then said that
the Xew York east, the Philadelphia,
the Newark, the Ualtimoie, the great
est competences of Methodism, have four
districts each. The trend is toward
larger districts. "When the presiding
eider of Wyoming distiict gets $2,100
salary, and the others In the conference
$1,000 less, something needs leadjust
inent. Dr. Hard gave some vety lintel
lilts to the existing conditions.
Dr. Fuller Mild It is evident that the
piesent commission cannot agieo and
that a new commission should be ap
pointed to make tin early agreement
and report to the presiding bishop of
next year and lender a toport on the
first day of tho conference. The com
mission, which has served two years,
consists of the following: The presid
ing elders, II. C. MeDermott, H. M.
Crydenwlse, K. B. Keeliey, O. A. Place,
A. F. Chaffee.
Dr. Griniii said that the fifty charges
lit the "Wyoming valley will soon be
reduced because of exhaustion of coal.
These small appointments are assisted
now by Scranton and AVllkes-Barie.
This support, under proposed changes
will divert. He offered an amendment
that the matter be left to the people
of the Wyoming conference. U B.
Weeks said thnt it was futile to refer
It again, and offered as a substitute to
the amendment that a vote be taken
as to whether there shall be Ave dls
tiicts or six.
Bishop Interposed.
Tho bishop tiled to disentangle af
falis, but before the vote was taken,
A. F. Chaffee said that he had been
wot king for live districts during fifteen
years. If the bishop) wanted to send
itlm to an obscure charge, he would go,
but he begged for live districts. The
question was put, and the vote was
counted, as live districts against six.
An overwhelming vote In favor of the
Ave distticts resulted 103 to IU.
Dr. Grlflln olfered a lesolution to re
fer it to the district stewards, in con
nection with a committee of cloigynien,
six stewards anil six minlsteis to servo
as that commission. This motion cre
ated a great commotion. The majority
wanted a change right now. Tho bishop
was plulnly against such a step, and
so was Dr. Orlflln and the lower end
' people. Great excitement prevailed for
a time.
It has been many a yeur since such a
hot discussion has taken place on the
floor of the conference. Dr., Chaffee and
his constituents had laid their plans
well, and as Dr. Haul suddenly arose
ns a champion of their cause, the eon
test came near going through with a
rush, to re-dlstrlct the conference In
olio day and compiess six distilets
into five. Votes and leconslderatlons,
amendments and substitutes, and sub
stitutes for tho substitutes weie offered
in a dizzy round, but tho bishop's clear
head settled them and his gentle, quiet
manner quieted the tumult. 'Iho dis
trict will not bo divided this year.
Tho afternoon session was presided
over by Dr. Hard. He v. H. M. Cryden
wlse offered prayer. Itev. C. H. Sackett
tend the report of the stewards. The
total receipts nro $7,3l9,b0, Disburse
ments $7,318, distributed among fifty
llvn claimants, Tho stewards then dis
tributed tho envelopes. Many of tho
beuellclniles were piesent to receive tho
pitifully small sum with which a great
church rewards Us Incapacitated
preachers. Tho treasurer, C, M, Sur
dain gnyo his report.

LAJOIE ENJOINED.
Supreme Court Upholds National
Base Ball League Contracts.
By I'm luetic Win- hum The .Undated l'ie.
Phlludelphia, April 21. Tho Supreme
court today leversed the decision of the
court of common pleas, No. fi, in tho
case of Napoleon Lajoie vs. the Phila
delphia National League Base Hall
club. This decision upholds the valid
ity of the reserve clause in the Nation
al Leugue contracts. Lajoie, who for
merly played second base for the Na
tional League club in this city, signed
with the Philadelphia American League
club for the season of 1801 and 190:1.
The Philadelphia base ball club,
through ts tieasurer, John D. Rogers,
entered suit to jestialn Lajoie from
playing with the American League.
The lower court held that the reserve
clause was illegal, and Colonel Rogers
carried tho case to the Supreme court,
where the decision was reversed. If
this decision stands it will affect till
players who were subject to thu re-s-erve
rule and who aie now playing
The case attracted widespread atten
tion because of the question of the val
idity jjf the "reserve clause" in Nation
al League contracts. Tlio lower court
decided that tho National League con
tiucts were lacking In mutuality and
theiefoie oppressive to playeis who de
sired to sign other contracts. The
lower court's decision bore especially on
the "ten days' release notice clause,"
and today's decision Is, in effect, that
this clause Is equitable.
Pitchers Frnser and Uernhault were
included In' tho Lajolo case, but their
names were withdrawn by agieenient
of counsel. They aie, however, affect
ed by today'H decision, Manager Shet
telino of tho Philadelphia National
League dub, said today:
"It Is likely that all National Leaguo
players now playing with tho American
League will be ordered to report at
once at tho National Leaguo giounds,
and in the' event of their falling to do
so suits will bo brought in tho cities
in which they are now playing asking
for an injunction restraining them from
taking part In nny American League
games."
