TH K CONFERENCE CHJK ER E D
Unusual Incident in the New York
Methodist Conference—Preacher
Hurries to Suppress Book.
New York, April 6.—A preacher
rising to apologize to five hundred of
his fellow clergymen for a hook of
fiction of which he. was the author,
and then amid the plaudits of the
gathering seizing his hat and overcoat
to hurry to his publishers to suppress
the volume, created a sensation at to-
day's session of the New York Metho-
dist conference. Rev. Dr. Benjamin
C. Warren, pastor of the Central New
York Methodist church of this city,
was the preacher in question. Hit
book, which was published some
months ago, was strongly criticised
in many churches. It having been de-
cided that it contained a burlesque
on a dozen or more preachers of the
New York conference. Conditions de-
scribed in the book are said to be
strangely like those existing In a cer-
tain Hudson river town. Today, when
most of the regular conference busi-
ness had ended, Mr. Wiarren, after ex-
plaining about his book, said:
"It appears that I am guilty In hav-
ing drawn certain characters too close
to life, if I have animadverted on
any man or woman of this conference
I am heartily sorry for it. f think I
can have that book suppressed and
the plates destroyed, i am going to
bend niv utmost endeavor in that di-
rection. I do this not in hope of re-
ward or fear of punishmenr. but be-
cause of the honor and esteem tn
which 1 hold this body.”
As the minister concluded and
started down the aisle for the publish-
ers. the gathering rose and cheered.

STARTLING STATISTICS.
Mission Report Submitted to the
Methodist Protestant Church.
Washington, April 6.—The Mary-
land annual conference of the Metho-
dist Protestant church gave its prln
cipal attention today to missions. Spe-
cial stress was laid upon* the neces-
sity of missions in Japan ft was
state# that 100,000 young Japanese
are studying the English language.
Dr. Lucas, secretary of the home mis-
sionary board, said that there are 60,-

who have never embraced the Chris-

New Postmaster at Chicago.
Washington. April 6.—The appoint-
ment of Daniel A. -Campbell of Chi-
cago to be postmaster of tha. city
to succeed Fred A Basse, who has
been elected to the mayoralty was
announced today. It was recomntend-
ed by Senators Cttllom and Hopklnsi
Campbell U an Illinois state senator.
New York, April (!.—That the long
drawn out. Thaw trial, now in its
twelfth week, will be finished the eotn-
lng week seems almost certain. There
Is no sign of any more delays. The
case already has been extended king
beyond the time ever before required
to try a murder case in New York.
Dr. Allan Me Lane Hamilton, the
alienist, who was on the stand when
the case was suddenly stopped by the
district attorney's suggestion for Ihe
appointment of a commission lb luna-
cy, will probably be recalled Monday.
He already has testified that lie oe-
lievCk Thaw was insane when lie shot
Stanford White, and will be asked to
repent that statement. The lunacy
commission having decided that. Thaw
Is now sane, Mr. Jerome will probably
be prevented from asking Dr. Hamil-
ton regarding tils opinion as to Thaw's
present sanity. Therefore there is lit-
tle more that he can cross-examine
the alienist on.
Whether rite defense will call more
witnesses is problematical. It is -dat-
ed that they expect to require no more
than an hour to complete their -ase.
If litis is true there is no reason
why the case should not go to me
jury Thursday.
District. Attorney Jerome said titat
he had no more witnesses. Under .e-
gal procedure in New York the sur-
rebuttal of the defense ends the ease.
The only way in which the prosecu-
tion can get evidence before the Jury
after the defense closes its mirrebiii-
tal Is by special permission of the
court, on the ground that ihe evidence
Is newly discovered or that the wlttiete,
was not In the Jurisdiction of the
court when the prosecution was •tut-
ting in Us direct case.
Some weeks ago tit one of Ihe many
times when the case scented tnv.-'ng
its close, it was agreed between the
attorneys that each should have -t full
day for summing up; in other words,
that neither should be forced to break
his address in the middle. Mr. Del-
ms staled at that time that he would
require more than one day for his ar-
gument. it is said now, however,
that he may require two days. If this
is the case, he will probably ttegitr
Monday. He should finish Tuesday.
Mr. Jerome still says that he will not
require more than one day, and
therefore at the latest he should com-
plete his argument \Vednesday. itts-
tice Fitzgerald’s charge to the jury
should not require more than three
or four hours, and It is therefore very
possible that the ease wilt be ill me
jury's hands Thursday.
Mr. Dolmas will plead for absolute
acquittal on the ground that Thaw’s
mind was unbalanced at the time he
committed the crime, and that. In
view of the fact that he has since
recovered his mental balance, he
should ho allowed to go free. Mr.
Jerome, on the other hand, will argue
that Thaw was sane within the mean-
ing of the law when he killed Stan-
ford White, that the crime was p'an-
ned and premeditated and that tie
should suffer tin- extretiie penalty of
the law.
■ ] do not expect that, it will lake ns
more than an hour to clos%our case.”
said Clifford W Harirldge, Thaw’s
attorney of record, tonight. "Our evi-
dence is all In, and save for a few
matters, purely formal, nothing re-
mains hut the summing -up. 1 am not
sure whether Mr. Delmas will he able
to finish bis address In one day. but
he may la-gin Monday.”
In speaking of the action of tin* lu-
nacy commission and of the mental
and physical examination of Thaw.
Mr. Harirldge said:
"I want to give the Inside story of
my appearing before the lunacy com-
mission. I waived al! const itulimsi
rights and told the commission to
ask Thaw anv question It saw fit, ex-
cept that i told him hot to answer
any questions itoont the trial and the
case.
’’On* member of the commission did
ark Thaw a question about the case,
and ott mv advice he declined to an-
swer it. Then the commissioners rent
for me and asked me If I would not
withdraw my advice so as to allow
Thaw to answer the question. I then
told Thaw to answer any question
that the commission might ask and 1
suppose that lie did so, but f do not
know that he did, for 1 left the room
and was not present at the hearing
any more than Mr, Jerome was. My
attitude In turning Thaw loose -toon
the commission showed my confidence
In hi* ability to meet all fh<- tea's.
"Down deep in my heart, I believe
that Thaw was insane when he aid
the shooting But I have always con-
tended that he ought to have a trial.
When the effort was made to have
bint railroaded to Matteawan, he pro-
tested that he wanted <o be tried, and
I upheld him In It. I have known
Thaw for a long time, and 1 have the
advantage of people who have cnly
come In contact with him lately. In
the Tomb-- he got back hht mental bal-
ance and hi* physical health.”
