HENDERSQNVILLE MAY BE SELECTED $V Good Chance to Be Next Meet ing Place of Western N. Caro lina Conference. THE ASHEVILLE AND CHARLOTTE DISTRICT MEN ARE ALL PASSED Mas Meeting to Be Held Tonight in Interest ol Children's Home Conference Note. Special to The Qaxette-News. Winston-Salem, Nov. 18. The place for holding the next session or the Western North Carolina Methodist I conference U always anticipated with interest Irom year to year. It in probable, that the question Involving selection of Uie place for next year's session will b called tomorrow. It Is certain that two place. Honderson vllle and Stati-mille. will be placed In nomination and the contest will likely be Interesting. One fact in favor of the selection of Hendersonville is that the conference has never beien held In that place, and the Methodists and those of other denominations also will extend a very cordial invitation for the conference to hold Its twenty-second annual session In the beautiful little city in the mountains of western North Carolina. in invitation from Hendersonville was extended last year, but was with drawn in favor of Wlnston-Solem on account of the special desire of the conference to be brought in close touch with the children's home at this time. The conference was held in States vllle in 1894, that having been the fifth annual session. Conference Interest centered todny in reception of the cuts intso full con nection. Characters of preachers of the Ashevllle and Charlotte districts were passed and reports submitted. Several addresses were heard. This afternoon the conference attends a complimentary recital at Salem col lege and in the evening a mass meet ing In Interest of the children's home. Hendersonville delegates are working hard for the conference session nett year. Rev. J. W. Wheeler, who la attend ing this session of the conference, has spent 66 years In the ministry. He now resides in Charlotte, and his presence In a church service, confer ence or other meeting is always wel come, on account of the gentleness and strength of his Christian char acter. The visit to the children's home yesterday afternoon interested a large percentage of the conference mem bers and visitors. A feature of the conference which proves especially enjoyable and help ful is the addresses which Bishop Hendrlx delivers at the beginning of the session of each day. Rev. W. L. Sherrill was re-elected secretary of the conference without opposition, and began his eighteenth sett-ton in that capacity. There is already a good deal of eiiesslni; among the preachers as to who will be appointed presiding elder of the new district. Rev. F. H. Wood has spent 51 years in the ministry and when he was speaking to the conference he said he knew he hod lived a long time, but that he wanted to live longer. He said further that at the present time there is a great lack of spirituality in the church, and that his great de sire Is to see a spiritual awakening throughout the conference and the entire church. He said this revival must begin In the home and must be preceeded by a recognition of parental authority and government. A movement is In progress to estab lish two tecondary schools in the Mt. Airy district, and a paper was sub mitted urging that one of these schools be located In Jefferson. Ho great Is the desire of that place to se cure the ichool that $3000 has been subscribed to aid In equipping u, i located there.

DISSOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT MAY OCCUR IN A FEW DAYS Whirlwind Being Loosed, and Only Question Is Who Will Ride It Suffragettes, Under Mrs. Pankhurst, Attack Parliament and Many Arrests Follow Parliamentary Lobbies Full of Rumors Fight Is Between Constitutionalists and Anti-Constitutionalists. York Herald Syndicate. Cable LONDON. Nov. 18. Clearly the whirlwind is being loosed. The question now facing England Is, Who will ride It nnd guide it? Upon the ."jiwer depends the national existence. All political parties here are bracing themselves for the con flict, which everything indicates will be a battle to the death. Each side j is determined to crusn me oiner com pletely and forever. Nominally the nght is one between radicals and conservatives. In ronllty, us every one knows and as every on Inwardly acknowledges, t Is one be tween constitutionalists and anti-constitutionalists. There is no longer an question of "reforming" the house of lords. The radical elements are bent on sweeping It away altogether. Re alizing this, the conservatives are straining every nerve to defend th" second chamber, which, us the history of the world teaches, Is an indispen sable guarantee ot any democracy's existence. Whatever may be the defects of the house ol-lords it serve a useful pur pose as a brake to the British parlia mentary' coach. Among those directly interested are Hon. A. J. Balfour. William Lloyd George, Winston Spencer Churchill, John Redmond and Keir Hardie. , SuffragetlCH at It Again. The suffragettes, under the leader ship -if Mrs. Eiiiiu-llne Pankhurst, made an attack upon, parliament eooh after the session opened today. Twelve women and one man were nrrsted when the disorder began. The light continued. The police were compelled to make wholesale ar rests. Eighty-two surrrageucs. an told, were taken Ir. custody. All Sort of Rumors. The parliamentary lobbies have been full of rumors of all kinds that the king has refused to give the prime minister guarantees to Increase the number of peers sufficient for the government's purposes In reforming the house or lords; that tho ministry would resign; that another party con ference would be held. Nothing def inite, however, is known beyond the fact that all preparations are going on for a general election, and the best In formed opinion believes that as tne oovernment declines to accept any amendment to the veto bill Lord Lans- downe will either decline to proceed with the bill or the house of lords will reject It on the second reading on Monday, and that the dissolution of parliament will be announced next week.

FOUGHT GAMELY FOR HIS LIFE IN EFFORT TO RIGHT MACHINE Johnstone Wns Attempting His Fam ous Spiral Glide WIm-ii Uie Aivldent Ocx'urretl. Denver, Nov. 18. bespite yester day's accident, when Ralph Johnstone plunged to death in his aeroplane from a height of 800 feet, the aviation meet will continue. Walter llrookins leaves today for Kansas City with Johnstone's body. Johnstone vyus a native of Kansas City and will be burled there. With one wing tip of ills machine crumpled like n piece of paper, John stone, the brilliant young uviutor, hold er of world's altitude record, dropped like a plummet Into the inclosure at Overland park aviation Held lato yes--lerduy afternoon und was Instantly killed. When tho spectators crowded about tho inclosure reached him his body lay beneath the engine of the biplane, with tho white planes that had failed him In his time of need wrapped about it llkn a shroud. Near ly every bone In his body was broken. He had gambled with death once too often, but ho played tho game to the end, fighting coolly to the Inst second lo regain control of tho broken ma chine. Fresh from his triumphs at Belmont park, where he had broken the world's record for altitude with a flight of 0714 feet, Johnstone attempt ed to give the thousands of specta tors an extra thrill with his most dar ing feat, the spiral glide, which has made the Wright aviator famous. The spectators got their thrill, but it cost Johnstone his life. The fatal flight was the second Johnstone had made during the afternoon. In tho first flight, when he was in the air with Hoxsey and Brooklns, he had gone through his usual program of dips and glides with the machine nnd r a few circuits of th course to gain height he headed toward the foot hills. Still ascending he swept back in a beautiful circle, and as he reached tho north end of the enclosure ho started his spiral glide. He was then ut an altitude of about 800 feet. The machine tijted at an angle of nearly 90 degrees and ho swooped down in a narrow circle, the aeroplane seem ing to turn almost in its own length. As he started the second circle the middle spur, which braces the loft side of tho lower piano, gave way and the wing tips of both upper and lower planes folded up as though they had been hinged. For a second Johnstone attempted to right the plane by work ing the other wing tip. Then the hor rified spectators saw the plane swerve like a wounded bird and plunge traight toward the earth. Johnstone was thrown from hi. sent as the nose of the plane swung downward. He ruught on ono of the wire stays and grasped ono of the wooden braces of tho upper plane with both hands. Then working with hands and feet he fought by main strength to warp the piano so that their surfaces might catch the air and check his descent. For a second It seemed that he might .ucceed, for the football helmet he wore blew off and fell much more rapidly than the plane. The hope waa momentary, however, for when about 300 feet from the ground the machine turned completely over and the spec tators fled wildly a. th broken plane, with the av.ator still fighting grimly in Its mesh of wires and stays, plunged among them with a crash. Fought for Souvenir. Scarcely had Johnstone hit the ground beforo morbid men and wo men swarmed over the wreckage, fighting with each other for souve nirs. One of the wooden stays had gone almost through Johnstone's body. Before doctors or police could reach tho scene, one man had torn this splinter from the body and ran away, carrying his trophy with the aviator's blood still dripping from Its ends. The crowd tore away tho canvass from over the body and even fought for the gloves that had protected Johnstone', hands from the cold The machine fell on the opposite side of the Held from the grand stand stand and there were but few per sons near the spot, but physicians and police wore rushed across as soon as possible. Physicians declare death must have been Instantaneous, as Johnstone's back, neck and both legs were broken, the bones of his thigh bclns: forced through the flesh nnd the leather gnrmcnts he wore. Arch Hoxsey who. In a previous flight In the afternoon had reached an altitude of 2500 feet, had risen Just before Johnstone Iregnn hi. fatal glide and wa. In the air when the accldtnl took place. A. he swung down tin other end of th cour.e he saw that Johnstone had fallen and guided hi. machine directl over the body of hi. friend. He descended to the ground and ru.hed to the wreckage, where he and Walter Brooklns helped lift the mangled form to an automobile which brought it to th city. Tolstoi Continue Week. A.tapova.

New Yrok Herald Syndicate. No. ID 02 If. Street, N. W. Washington, N. C, Nov. 18. I ! THINGS keep on happening as Ithey have in the last few months in this country the expression "demo cratic good luck" is likely to become a byword In politics. This will be pass ing strange, too. because it hue been tho popular thing for the last 20 years for everybody to regard the democrat ic parly as the unluckiest organization In existence. Not only has the cost of living be gun to go down only a few days after a big democratic victory all over the country, but the democrats and repub licans In Washington are now real izing the Importance of tho fact that the size of the membership of the house of representatives under the new census will be determined In all prob ability by a democratic congress and the reapportionment of congressional districts in several of the must impor tant state accomplished by democrat ic legislatures.
