While the bishop was talking the Laymen's Association held its nine teenth annual session in another part the church. U. A. Zentmyer, of Tyrone, brought! greetings front this association! to the conference, saying lie be lieved that the laymen were on higher I ground, and appealed to the ministers j to conserve the childhood and youth j of the church. Bishop Cranston said that he! wanted to talk about the solemnity of j a covenant. "If a man makes a cove- j nant with the church he. ought to keep St. The church demands that minis-J ters bind themselves to the truth, and not to the theological statement of any man. Men should exemplify the atonement of Christ In holy living." Take Up Ministers' Relations By order of yesterday's proceedings the conference met In executive ses sion this morning at 9 o'clock.

Laymen's Association The nineteenth annual session of the Laymen's Association of the Cen tral Pennsylvania Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church met this morning at 9 o'clock in the Sunday school room of Grace Church. It was called to order by G. B. Keini, of Lewistown. After the devotional ser vice. which was In charge of H. M. Bretz, the secretary and treasurer made their reports and the minutes of the session of last year were read and approved. • G. B. Kelin. the president of the association, postponed the address for which he was announced on the pro gram and announced the presence of the Rev. D. N. Miller and Mrs. Miller sang. Committees on resolutions, nomina tions, auditing and fraternal greetings were announced and a solo entitled "I Love to Hear My Saviour's Voice" was beautifully rendered by Harry M. Bretz. of Harrisburg. H. A. Hutchinson made a verbal report for the committee on sustenta 'tlon, conveying th«< fact that there is a little inor<- money for distribution to the preachers tlii.- >ear tliun was the •*asr- last year. Professor Mcintyre, •mother member of this committer l , supplemented the previous speaker's SATURDAY EVENING, statements by further statements rela tive to this important Interest. Miss Estelle Butler, of this city, sang a solo. An offering was taken by envelopes for the purpose of meet ing the expenses of the association. The Rev. Dr. W. S. Bovard was in troduced and spoke of the Methodist Brotherhood, of which he is the secre tary. He placed the emphasis on the spirit and work of the men rather than on organization. Following the earnest remarks of Dr. Bovard, the Rev. J. E. Crowther, assistant secre tary of the general conference com mission on finance, presented, by means of a series of charts, a survey of the field upon this important sub ject of the church's financial obli gations. This addres was clear and convincing. The Rev. Dr. J. B. Trimble spoke further on the same topic of linance, but with an appeal to the men of Methodism, and through those present to the 7.000.000 men in the evan gelical churches of this country, with an Impressiveness that clearly demon strated itself by the responsiveness of his hearers. Dr. Crowthers recommended the pur chase of the set of ten charts and certain literature on the subject of the new financial plan. The resolutions signed by the bishop and the district superintendents and adopted by the conference yesterday bearing on this financial plan were offered by G. G. Hutchinson and re ferred to the committee on resolutions. Dr. Trimble pronounced the benedic tion. A conference session will be held this evening at 8 o'clock. Dr. S. Parkes Cadman will deliver his lecture Monday evening, March 23, in Grace Methodist Church, at 8 o'clock. Grace Church was comfortably' filled when the anniversary of the; Conference Annuity Fund began last! night. H. L. Jacobs was in the chair. I Prayer was offered by W. A. Houck. I The first speaker. T. S. Wilcox, spoke j in behalf of the Preachers' Aid So-! ciety, explaining what it is and why ! it exists, namely, an organization of! the preachers of the conference for \ the benefit of the necessitous cases of; tlio conference. Its object is educa-1 tionul and relief. It owns Williams port Dickinson Seminary and gives j liberal discounts to the children of ! the members of the conference. The Rev. J. S. Bovard, D. D., sec retary of t>lie Methodist Brotherhood. I made an address on "A Life That is j Worth Losing." H. L. Jacobs presented the subject! of the Annuity Fund in a strong ap- j peal and sent collectors into the audi- j ence to solicit contributions for that cause, intimating that $6,000 was needed to bring the fund to SIOO,OOO, which would insure an additional gift of SSOO. Several generous subscrip tions were made to the fund, aggre gating $1,300. Maxwell Motor Had 300 Hour Test Run Three hundred hour tests have come to be quite the fashion nowa days, among motor car makers in j i demonstrating the running qualities | [and stability of their product. To i date, practically all motors subjected j to this strenuous form of test have j been included in the high-priced class, j Now comes Chief Engineer Benner of i [the Maxwell Company with details of | a recent 300 hour trial given a Max- i well Company with details of a re-1 ! cent 300 hour trial given a Maxwell I "25" motor in the Detroit laboratory !of the company. ; 'The test was staged merely as a ! private performance," says Mr. Ben | ner, "but I believe the results are of sufficient importance to make pub- , ! lie as tending to show the worth of i the low-powered motor contrasted with the most expensive types on the ! market. We may decide at some fu ! ture time to repeat the test officially j under the auspices of the Automobile Club of America or the A. A. A." Placed on the dynamometer stand on Tuesday, the motor was put in operation at 7 p. m. and ran continu ously until the following Monday morning. When stopped at 9 a. ni. on Monday, the motor had run 307 hours or an equivalent of 7,675 miles. During this period the motor was 'subjected to a load of 10 horsepower 'and operated at a speed of 1,000 R. P. IM. Expressed In terms more intellig ible to the layman, tills would pull the car with Its full load of five pas sengers at twenty-five miles per hour for 307 hours. Abbott-Detroit Exhibit The Real Classy Kind I With palms and potted plants as a I setting for the Abbott-Detroit models, , and cut flowers for the callers at the , Abbott Motor Car Company exhibit, and 1 the men In charge attired In evening dress. C. D. Stewart put on a real touch of tlie metropolitan method of arrang ing n display. The Abbott-Efetroit coun try roadster Is one of the most strik ing models at the show. This Is a 50- <SO with wire wheels and finished In Hudson Sixes All Sold Before Placed on Exhibit The six Hudson Slxe» tn the I. W. Dill exhibit were ail sold prior to the automobile show and will be delivered to the owners at the close of show. These six cars constitute the largest showing of an one make of cars at the how. In .•ulditiott to sale of the Hud sons and Krit prior to tliu show, Mr. Dill reports very satisfactory business I during show week, besides the num ! ber of appointments for future atten ' tlon. | TROOPS TO PREVENT UPRISING f CITIZENS [C'outinued from First Page.] vals In Ulster this morning were the companies of a half battalion of the Yorkshire Light Infantry which were conveyed from their barracks in Dub- [ lin to Belfast lough on board the tor- ' pedo boat destroyer Pathfinder duvlng; the night. They disembarked at an early hour this morning and marched , to Carrickfex-gua Castle, a disused mili- ! tary station commanding the lough, i It lies fifteen miles below Belfast and ! is of historic interest owing to its hav- \ lng been the landing place of William | 111. Field guns were mounted on the j old fortifications this afternoon. Orders were Issued to other butter ies of artillery to occupy stragegic po sitions around the city of Belfast. It was generally expected here that a| cavalry brigade would be coneentrai- j ed in Belfast during the week-end. The Sixteenth Queens Lancers and the j Fourth Queen's Own Hussars, station-, ed at the Curragh, were yesterday equipped with carbines and were ready to move northward this afternoon. No Public Demonstration These sudden preparations by the War Office so far have not created any j public demonstration in Belfast. The (leaders of the so-called Unionist pro visional government, however, admit j the anxiety lest their over-enthusiastic I ' followers precipitate riots during the two days of idleness, at the week-end i and give their opponents the sought- I for opportunity for enforcing rigorous repressive measures. Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster Un- j I ionist leader, and his lieutenants de j sire the government to take the first ; provocative step. Sir Edward, realiz j ing the vitalness of preventing an un i disciplined outbreak as a protest j against all these troop movements to ! day again urged the Ulsternien to keep [ cool during the week-end. Men Work Till Xoon ; The city this morning presented its ' normal outward aspect. All the places lof business were open and in accord -1 ance with the urgent request of the j Unionist leaders, all the men worked j until their usual Saturday closing | time. j Sir Edward Carson 'did not emerge to-day from Craigavon, the residence of Captain Craig, three miles from Belfast. There he continues to hold his "cabinet councils" with Captain Craig ,the Marquis of Londonderry, the Earl of Ranfurly, the Earl cf Clanwil liam and other Unionist workers. Orders for provisions to be sent to Craigavon are given by telephone or sent by dispatch riders. Martial law has been declared within Captain Craid's estate. "The East Belfast Special Service Corps," which corresponds to the American Minute Men, relieved the "West Belfast Special Service Corps" j this morning asd took up its duties in 1 Captain Craig's grounds, j The old town hall of Belfast which ! Is the official headquarters of the "pro j visional government" has been denied 'to all. The important equipment, as j veil as all documents, ciphers and j other papers, have been removed from |it and hidden in a variety of places after being distributed among the most Important leaders of the Unionists. This was done in consequence of the announcemet of Impending arrests which the Unionists contend brought about the present crisis. Ready for Mobilization Every "volunteer" in Ulster still qtands ready for mobilization. The provisional government's "post ing house" by which letters and dis patches are de'ivered by hand to the furthermost points of Ulster quicker than by government post, was busy all night sending and receiving com munications to and from the various mobilization centers of the Unionists. A wireless station on the roof of the old town hall also was at work while some of the rooms of the building which have been fitted with telegraph instruments for the instruction of the women telegraphers who are to take over the lines of communication were filled with workers. The drug stores of Belfast have laid in large supplies of surgical and medi cal equipment. Feeling of Unrest Strong The feeling of unrest among certain sections of the government troops is very strong. Some of the soldiers and the officers of the Infantry battalion ■ quartered In Ulster, Including the Dor setshire regiment and the Norfolk regiment, have openly expressed their ! disinclination to take the offensive. [This does not cause any surprise among civilians who generally expect w olesale defections. A significant il lustration of this attitude was given yesterday by the fn habitants of Ehnis killen, who hung flags along the streets in honor of the arrival of a battalion of the Bedfordshire regiment. Officers Must Fight in Ulster or Resign By Associated Press ■Ennlskillen, Ireland, March 21.—A1l the army officers here received a com munication from the war office to-day calling on them to make u definite statement within twelve hours us to whether they were prepared to retain i their commissions in the e\ent of iios PHUUBBURG tilities in Ulster. If not, they were , i told, they must resign forthwith. Similar notices are said to have been ; I received by all officers with the troops ; in the north of Ireland. Officers in Regular Army Resign, Causing Much Inconvenience j London, March 21.—The outstand- I ing feature of the news from Ireland j i to-day was the disaffection among the i | officers of the regular army under or- | jders to proceed to Ulster with their j regiments. The actual number of resignations among them was still unknown, but ; that it was considerable was evident from the earnest early morning con sultations of cabinet ministers regard- Jug the bets means of counteracting i the movement. The actual l'act of this disaffection | is the more discomforting to the mill- j tary authorities since the army is al ready seriously short of commissioned ! j officers. ! Threats of a crisis in the army if a I movement of regular troops was un- j j dertaken against Ulster had long been [current and in some quarters it is be lieved that the sudden marching of a I United number of troops was ordered so that the military authorities might gather an idea as to how widespread (the threatened disaffection was. Will K"place Officers Immediately after Colonel Seely, the Secretary of State for War, had been in audience with King George at Buckingham Palace this morning. Colonel Seely summoned a meeting of the army council which took the | necessary steps to replace officers who had resigned. According to reports, however, the number of vacancies is rapidly in j creasing, and it seems possible that , all the regular regiments which have been serving in Ulster may have to be withdrawn and replaced by fresh troops, as both men and officers have openly expressed their disinclination j j to take the offensive against men with i j whom they have been fraternizing. This momentary shifting of the im- ! mediate crisis from Ulster to the army: i may give the peacemakers their de- |. • sired opening. ( The return of Arthur J. Balfour, 1 former Unionist premior to London, | has given heart to the advocate of a i compromise. ire and Premier As quith have served long years side by , side in the political Held and under ' stand an dappreciate one another. Premier Asquith and Andrew Bonar i Law, the official leader of the opposi- I tion in the House of Commons, when ' ever they have come into contact have given embittered displays of partisan j ship. Sn? Plun of P<i«cc It was thought in many quarters 1 to-day that if the government would I consent to give the counties of Ulster I perpetual local option on the question -of home rule, instead of compelling them to come under the Dublin par . liament at the en dof six years, a ' way out of the present difficulty would ! be opened. The Nationalists always have con j tended that the Ulstermen would be [glad to join the home rule schedule ! once it had been demonstrated that i their fears of unfair treatment we're iunfounded. King George himself is taking an active part in the negotiations. He is i not confining his conferences to mem bers of the cabinet but has been in ; I ; communication with Arthur J. Bal ; four and ga* an audience to Field | Marshal Lord Roberts after he had j | seen the Secretary of State for War. ! Lord Roberts subsequently conferred |at length with Colonel Seely and the J | war office executive staff which has i I been working at high pressure, j An 'official communication issuedj jthis afternoon says: 1 "The recent movements of troops jin Ulster are purely precautionary j with the object of giving adequate, i protection to depots of arms and am- j , munition and other government prop i erty against possible risks." It adds: , | "There has not been and is not now , | any intention to move troops into ; I Ulster except, for these and like pur- II poses." j Meeting of Two Companies in Belfast Is Reported JSy Associated Presj London, March 21. —A mutiny of two companies of the Dorsetshire regiment stationed in Belfast, is re ported by the Pali Mall Gazette. The message says: "When the men iof the first battalion of the Dorset shire regiment were paraded in Bel fast to-day and notified that they ! were being transferred elsewhere they | threw dow ntheir arms. A sergeant j stepped forward, saluted the officers jand said: 'We will have no home i rule here.' " This is thought in some quarters to be an version of the re ports of unrest among the regular troops ir. Ulster. JOSEI'H FOREMAN Joseph Foreman, aged 70, died this morning at his home, 1228 Market , stVeet. He is survived by his wife, two 1 sons, George, of Nees Crossroads, and James, of Shlppensburg. and two 1 daughter, Mrs. Ella Zinn, of Shippens burg, and Mrs. Harry Relly, of Cnam bersburg.

[The weather conditions have been [ Ideal all day and many people from I surrounding cities are here for the Saturday shopping and will avail them selves of this final opportunity to see ! so many of the new models assembled [under one roof for convenient com parison. From a business standpoint jit should also be a successful close to j a most profitable week, as the season lis approaching when every man who can afford to do so will want to be at the wheel and take his family and friends over the roads and view the beauty spots of nature. The exhibits will remain intact un til 10.30 this evening to avoid any confusion and permit those who are interested to make final arrangements for purchase of cars or to inspect them undisturbed. But when ten-thirty comes, the boys will make merry'and draw the curtain on the first annual show with appropriate ceremonies, usual at the auto shows. Everybody expresses themselves as well pleased with the results of the show, and Harrisburg has again proven that It can put up a better automobile exhibit than most cities of its size, and equally as good as a great many larg er cities. Twombly Cycle Car Made By Well Known Designer Tlie Twombly cycle car that will shortly be here and to be sold by Tros tle & llourer at the Mehring is report ed to have a splendid company financ ing it and an inventor who is well known to motor vehicle men. The ma chine is exceedingly diminutive, and carries two persons, seated tandem. Back of it is W. Irving Twombly. as inventor and vice-president and gener al manager f the $300,000 Twombly Motors Company, of New York City, that has been formed to manufacture the machine. D. Stuart Dodge is presi dent. Offices at present are at 258 West 69th street, New York City, while negotiations are being conducted for a factory near New York. Twombly is well known in mechan ical circles as an inventor of exceed ingly ingenious and simple modifica tions of existing designs. He has built several particularly good folding con vertible bodies for his own use, and is also known in connection with a pis ton valve motor, the valves operated by a simple "snail" cam arrangement, without spring or gears. It is this mo tor, in fact, that is to be used on his! car. DIG HORSE SALE Read ex-Sheriff Chas. L.

Cadillac Chassis Has Been as Popular as Ever The factory lecturer at trie Cadillac exhibit lias interested a great many with his energetic and lucid methods of explaining the various mechanical workings on the cut-open chassis. The student llnds among tne improvements a two-speed axle, a tilting steering wheel, and a heating device for the car buretor to assist the starting. Every one is aware of the difficulty of get ting into a car if the wheel Is in the position of greatest comfort for the man seated behind it, but It has rfot been easy to enter that seat. The idea of lifting, or tilting, the wheel over comes this, hence the innovation is striking. The two-speed axle Is a simple device which considerably ill creases the range and power of the car.
