SLANDEROUS STORY WAS PUT AFLOAT Yellow Journals Heard Last Night That Dr. McMurray Had Shot and Killed Dr. Andrews Story an Outrageous Libel on the Whole Conference. Bomewher these United States of America last night tht hand of the 'yellow journalist" w.i busy, as was nown In reports telling of killing hlfh occurred In Ashevills, and from wn ot the country, even at late 4 o'clock this morning, cam met frn the New York "yellowa" " others, asking, about the deadly inflict bel,M two ministers of the hodl.t conference. Where the re Ports started could not be determined. The Morj. ,n effort wr of Lo"lvlll. one of the chureh ",murter' of Methodist or .k " ' no"on. Tc., on account rr hlch Vt. Andrew, is al leged to have made agulnat Dr. Mc Murry. of course there Is not a word or truth In the story, nor would one for a minute believe that the good Meth odlst brethren would engage In such deadly conflict In th mountain city or anywhere, for that matter. Dr. McMurry today denied tnai there was any trouble between the two and branded the atdry at an out rage to the entire conference, while Dr. Andrews stated that persons in teretted were never on more friendly terms. Dr. McMurry Is spoken of ns the choice of some for one of the post Hons of bishop, and the story proba bly got start from the report that In certain quarters there might be op position to Dr. McMurry, increased number of visitors were noted at the session of this (ieneral conference today and from now on until the bishops md other connectlonal olliccrs are selected It Is expected that the crowds will Inere'ise daily. About an hour of the morning session was taken up with a discussion of a report of the special committee appointed to In vestigate regarding the building of a representative church at Washington, 1). C. This report had the recommen dation that a special U-vy of two and one-half cents per annum be levied by the CTeTH nil conference upon all mem bers of the church for the next four years an annual sum estimated at $54,000 -for the construction of this church. While the conference us a whole was entirely in favor of estab lishing the church, the whole debate centered about the best way of raising this money. There w 'e many advo cates of the assessment lan, but some of the ministers objecte I strenuously to levying upon what they termed the poorer members of the Church to con struct a building which would be for the benellt of the wealthiest element of the church, and insisted that the church board of i xtenslon be empow ered to go ahead and raise money by subscriptions. Immediate action was Insisted upon as tonight u meeting will be held in the auditorium with llishops Candler, Hoss and others ns Hptuikcrs, in the Interest of furthering this movement. Finally u suliMtitulc by Dr. James Cannon prevailed, pro viding for tho raising of this money ither by assessment or by subscrip tion or both as the board of church xtenslon may deem wise. I'Jgbt i'ore-bailowiil. A light wiih foreshadowed n the (jucfctloii of the use of tobacco by ministers, when the committee on temperance and other moral and so- lal questions submitted a report rc ommcndti.g that the annual confer ences urge thut nil candidates admit ted to triul as ministers refrain from the use of tobacco on the grounds of mlniaterial prudence"; while a mi nority report was submitted insisting that ministers openly and publicly de nounce all use of "the weed" while they ure in the ministry. Htrangii it should be that the memorials upon which the committee's action Is bused, came from the tobucco growing states of Kentucky and Mississippi,, und from the Los Angeles conferences. The action of the conference In adopting the report of tho committee on church extension allowing me church trustees with the approval of tho quarterly conference to borrow money on the church property from any corporation by giving a mortgage was on enlargement of tho borrowing power of tho church. The sixth day's session ot tho Ocn- eral conference was begun at 9 a. m. with Bishop Morrison presiding, Come Thou Fount of Every messing and "Amniing Grace" were sung.

It was too much j a burden upon the poor people tl laborers of the congregation, wfreus the well-to-do people would gcahe benellt of this church. Dr. K.

President Tart returned to Washington this morning from his trip to New York and New Jersey. Passlac, N. J.. May 10. In his speech before the Passlac board of trade last night, in which he discuss ed the legislative situation at Waah inglon, President Taft declared, with a great deal of enihhusis und umld an outburst or applause, that the rail road hi!! has not been emasculated in any vital way, and predicted that a satisfactory law would be passed. "The bill," said the president, "still retains its important features, and I am hopeful that within the next two weeks we shall see the passage of the bill in both houses, the adjustment of the difficulties between the two houses and its linal enactment. It means a great stop forward in the power or regulation entrusted to the interstate commerce commission. "It still leaves wide discretion In the owners of the property; but the pow ers exercised by the commission. I fool confident, can be exercised for good und will not remove the motives of enlightened selfishness for Im provement by the owners of the rail roads in tlie methods and cost of them." Reports Exaggerated. Tho president declared that the newspaper reports of the crippling of the railroad bill had been greatly exaggerated, and he set out ill detail the provisions of the measure as It now stands. He said he hoped the provision which permits a road own ing JO per cent, of the stock of a competing road to acquire the re maining stock would be restored and told why. In his review or pending legislation Mr. Tuft expressed the belief that the following measures would bo enacted In the law: statehood for Arizona and New .Mexico; postal savings banks: .inti-ininiiclion bill; the so-called val idating bill of the conservation meas ures; publicity of expenditures, and the railroad bill. The president said he was very anx ious that the party should carry out its statehood pledge and he did no! think he would be disappointed. The president came to Passlac In the afternoon from New York, where in I be afternoon he attended the ac tor's fund fair. Passlac turned out its entire population lo honor him. In the evening the president's way from the home of Victor L. Mason, where he stopped, to the banquet In Tiirnverein hall, led through the bus iness section whore u splendid arch of honor hud been constructed and whore the crowds were congregated.

New York, May 10. President Tall dared disaster yesterday afternoon when be climbed upon a chair, thn bettor to make himself hoard and seen at the Actors' fund fair, which lie formally opened at the Seventy first regiment armory. Hut the chHir held. The president's brief response to th" address of welcome was loudly cheered by the player folk. The pres ident said in part: "1 should be wanting in personal gratitude If I did not seize this op portunity to come here and give tnv thanks to a profession which person ally I owe so much. I do not like to compare you either with lawyers or politicians, but there Is one respect, at bust. In which we ure all alike th-i money we make seems to come ciiny and go easy. "You ure different from lawyers and politician In that out of the gener osity of your hcarta you take cure of those who have played their parts In your profession and have reached thn time when they are dependent on others. "It nl no meaningless phruse when I ald that I owe much to your profession. There la nothing I know of In a nerve (training life that equals the relaxation of a good play, well mounted and well played, and you put us under obligation by holding up the mirror to nature."
