Detwiler, who for the past year has been pastor of Central Method Lit church, has been trans ferred by Rlxhop Hendrlx to the Ten nessRH conference, and becomes pastor of the West End Methodist church, the Vanderbllt University church, at Nashville, exchanging with Charles W. Byrd, the present pastor, who has been transferred by Bishop Candler to the Western North Carolina confer ence, and again becomes pastor of central Methodist church. This ar rangement was perfocted at a confer ence of Dr. Ditwiler held with Bishop Candler recently In Spartan burg, and was announced to the board of stewards of Central Methodist church at a called meeting yesterday afternoon. , Much In Demand. With this series of transfers la as sociated a long story. Dr. Detwiler is a much-wanted, preacher. He came to Ashevllle last year from Charlotte, being sent here to succeed Rev. Gilbert T. Rowe, who had served his time at Central church.' In send ing Dr. Dqtwller to Ashevllle It was stated that he had great' ability for managing things and -that he . would be needed for the big Methodist Gen eral conference. That ' Dr. Detwiler more than measured up' to the re quirements of the three weeks' session here last May la a matter of history. So well was that body handled that it was the concensus of opinion among the delegates that the Ashevllle con ference was the best conference ever hold. Dr. Detwiler did not trust to others; he was on the job continuous ly and saw that every detail In the preliminary arrangements as well as actual handling of that great gather ing went through all right Large Pastorate Readjustment. Under the Methodist plan of organ isation about 16 of the larger ehurche. of the general conference this fall lost their pastors by expiration of the four year time limit, and some time ago Bishop Alpheus Wllxnn, the senior bishop, wrote Dr. Detwiler that In or der to re-adjust the big pastorates It would become necessary to transfer Dr. Detwiler to another conference. A strong effort was made to get him to become pastor of St Johns' church In Memphis, one of the largest and not pnylng churches in the whole Indianapolis aim of the Institute- to-4eal not" only with the technical part of the Indus try, but take up Its commercial tide. There Is a possibility of a world-wide corporation among steel and Iron makers for mutual protection in the world markets. The stability of prices will be discussed. Judge Grey yesterday urged co operation for a reduction of the out put, rather than for a reduction of prices, when consumers were willing to pay the market prices. Goes to Tenn. at Meeting of the Board of Late Yesterday Afternoon Much in Demand. conference; Bishop Wilson wanted Dr. Detwiler to become pastor of the larg est church In Atlanta, while the offi cial board of West End church at Nashville anfl the faculty of Vander bilt university sent a strong petition asking for Dr. Detwiler to be sent to that church. He had known some of the leaders there for years, and came in touch with others at the general conference, and so well were they pleased with his work that they de manded that he be sent there to suc ceed Dr. Byrd, who wished to come back to North Carolina on account of his wife's health. Personally Dr. Det wiler stated that he would rather have remained In this conference, but since he had to be transferred the strong petition from West End church and the university faculty had consider able to do with determining his course. . . At the conference In Spartanburg with Bishop Candler It was decided that the Vanderbllt appointment would be the best way out and simply make an exchange with Dr. ttyrd who is to become pastor of Central church again. To Inn In November. Dr.. f etwller will leave In the early part of November. His farewell aor mon will be preached the first Sunday in November. Dr. Byrd will remain In Nashville until Dr.' Detwiler leaves Ashevllle. The West End church one of -the most Important In Tennes see as It has an attendance each Sun day of 400 to 600 college students In addition to the Vanderbllt faculty and many Nashville peopie. The new po sition Is quite a promotion for Dr. Detwiler. The new charge pays salary of $3000 at present as against $2500 at Central church. The coming of Dr. Byrd to Ashe vllle again will be well received In Methodist circles. Dr. Byrd has twice served as pastor in Ashevllle: at one time a period of four years, and an other of two. , He was one of the most popular ministers who evr held a charge here, and he will be gladly welcomed to Ashevllle again. The Western North Carolina con ference will be held at Winston be ginning November 16, with Bishop HeuJrlx- presiding. For much of Ashevllle, however, the nuttiton of chief concern has already been Un-cl.le.l. -LAST EDITION 4:00 P. II Weather rorecast: Unsettled ; showers j cooler. 3c PER COPY.
