Will Ask Canada to De port Negro, Now in Montreal. Staff Correspondence) of The Gazette News. , Lake Junaluska, June 27. A feat ure of this morning's session of the Methodist missionary conference was the address of Dr. Stonewall Anderson of Nashville, whose subject was "Re ligious Education of Students in State Institutions.", Dr. Anderson said that the "policy of maintaining colleges and universities by states through taxation is well established. Such institutions are popular and throughout our. re public now Vwell nigh universal. All the southern states except Maryland have state universities and most of them,' also, agricultural and technolo glen I colleges. The attendance on these state in stitutions represents all denomina tions. It often happens that there are more students of a particular church in the state institutions of a given state than in the collegess of that church in the same state. In this dis cussion two facts should be kept pres ent: (1) The years passed by young people in college are fraught alike with religious possibilities and religi ous dangers: (2) The state institution is powerless to meet the religious needs of the students. Representatives of state schools freely admit this. But religious training la a vital part of true education. The churches, therefore, must undertake to supply this lack. This effort has, .up lb: the present, usually taken one of three forms: (ti strengthening local churches, situated conveniently to the college or univer sity; (2) the establishment of affiliat ed schools, Bible chairs, lectureships or other Institutional agencies on the campuses or adjacent to them; (3) the employment of university or stu dent pastors. Many of the denominations are vig orously pressing one or another of these plains. The Presbyterian church, U. S. A., is perhaps the leader of all. Its College Board appropriates annu ally (15,000 for university work and co-operates with the several synods in supporting university pastors. In this church eleven pastors are giving their entire time to work at State universi ties. Local pastors In at least four other university towns are receiving aid. The secretary of this board de clares that the demand for this work Is rapidly increasing. The Southern Presbyterian church Is also active, it has three theological seminaries affll iatcd with state universities, and it seeks to provide effective pastors for churches situated in college and uni was born in India and has seen years or service as a missionary.

B. JEFFRESS.) Morehead City, June 27. With the plan to discuss the' subject of taxa tion, the .full constitutional amend ment commission last night got down to a discussion of the sub-oommlttee's report which recommends ; that the legislature may ." have the power to classify and segregate property ;- for taxation DUruoses: The majority report provides that in case of segregation of property that iH, setting aside certain property for Etate purposes and certain for lo cal taxation purposes all real estate except that of public service corpora tions shall bo taxed only for local purposes. ' ' , R. n. Williams, a member of the committee, last - night brought in a minority report, the effect of which is to give to the legislature a. wide range and not to limit the state from levy ing if necessary upon real estate for taxation. The Justice report for the majority makes segregation total if adopted by the legislature,- butf it does not give the legislature the right to . classify without 8egregatiori. Must Be Uniform Rate. .

The only difference between Mr. Williams and the majority of the sub committees is that Mr. Williams wants to go a step further by not making segregation total If adopted, but to make it partial or total in the wis dom of the legislature. N, J. Rouse of Klnston argued for equal taxes and would have the con stitution provide for state tax com mission A. D. Ward of Newbern gave notice that he would bring In a minority re port prohibiting segregation.

The Christian church (or Disciples) has developed a special line of lectureships called "Bible chairs." Such chairs have been established In a number of slate uni versities. The Unitarian church claims to have been a pioneer In this work and still lays great stress on It. The Roman Catholic church and tho Epis copal church are also giving the mat ter special attention-. The Methodist Episcopal church has established lec tureships In a number of universities. They are also using student pastors. The board of education makes appro priations to the work. Moth their bishops and their general conference have taken action as to its import-, ance. , ' The Methodist Episcopal church, South, Is having Its attention drawn to this important matter. Its board of education has recently adopted a pre amble and resolution reciting Its Im portance. In no states the conferences through their boards of missions are helping to support a student pastor. Denominational education must be kept up In separate Institutions, be cause it Is of the utmost value to the people. But attention must also be given to the needs of the students In state schools. The state school cannot provide religious training. This the churches must do, both In their own schools and In those of the state. Today's sessions are devoted to a consideration of foreign missions. Home missions were considered yes terday and today reviews are being made of the work that has been done In foreign countries during the past, and plans are being considered for the extension of the work within the near future.

S. Carroll's sanitarium on Zillicoa street. The officers who had been in charge of Mr. Ward protested against this ac tion, but could do nothing to nre- vent it. It is understood here that Mr. Ward is alleged to have been dement ed for four or five years and there has been a long-drawn out court pro ceeding to commit him to a san itarium. It was in a part of these proceedings that tiie two officers with him were named by the court to take care of him until some time in July. They accompanied him everywhere he went and he was in their custody all the time. He and the officers have been occupying a house in the north ern part of the city since their ar rival here. Yesterday morning Mra Ward ar rived with the necessary pacers to have Mr. Ward committed to an asy lum for the insane, and the insanity warrant was taken out before Clerk of Superior Court Marcus Erwin. Tt is not known if any further proceed ings will be undertaken in his behalf. Information concerning the wealth of Mr. Ward is to the effect that he inherited a large fortune, and that un til a few years ago he was a very suc cessful lumberman, besides being in terested in a number of other business j ventures In Pontiac. He is said to be worth between three and four million dollars. Developments In the case this after noon Indicate that the order of com mitment may be the beginning of n legal struggle here over the question of Mr. Ward's detention. A. J. Tripp and Remember Kent of Pontiac, who exhibited credentials to show that they ere appointed custodians of Mr. Ward by Probate Judge IC. P. Rock well of that city, declare that they have not been relieved of authority and responsibility in the.caser by the Michigan court. They have t jlegraph- d Judge Rockwell of the action of the ocal authorities and are now await ing further advices and Instructions, they say. We were taken unawares by the proceeding," said Mr. Kent, "put I protested against delivering my charge on the Buncombe warrant, and 'till insist that proper consideration and courtesy was not shown the Michigan court. Under the orders of the court, we brought Mr. Ward here in hopes benefit to his health, and jur in structions were to deliver him to the court at Pontiac on July 12. Mr. Ward has been forcibly taken from our possession, however, and the next move is up to the Michigan courts. We stated to the Buncombe officers and we now. Insist that our authority has not been abrogated, as Mrs. Ward contended." Msesrs. Keut and Tripp further stated that two efforts to place Mr. Ward in a sanitarium at Pontiac had failed, one legal fight to that end clos- ng shortly before he was brought 10 Asheville.

That the stars and bars" as well as the "stars and stripes" will appear at the big camp of veterans during the anniver sary celebration was indicated voflay : by an announcement from the officers of the anniversary commission that there is nothing to prevent the wear ers of the gray from bringing along their battle Hags." At the same time. however, it is said that the flag of the confederacy would not be used in any official decorations over which the commission has control. Residents of Gettysburg and union veterans already here are extending a royal welcome to all arriving confederate veterans. The town itself never has been so gaily decorated. Every business block is covered with the national colors and- practically every home displays at least one flag. The "stars and bars" appear at a number of places while the use of both the blue and the gray is a favorite method of decoration at many building's. Large pictures of both union and confederate generals are much in evidence. The town is gay with martial music. Many of the veterans have brought their fifes. drums and bugles and the calls of war time days are Bounded through the streets, In some instances by the very men who did the same thing during the exciting days of the Gettysburg... ampaign half a century ago.' , Situation Welt In Hand. Finishing touches were put on the camp today.

He will be met at . the train and shown the location of his tent. If he is not able to carry his baggage some one will be here to do it for him. He will not have to do a stroke of work, not even fill the wa- . ter buckets in his tent." Each of the four large sections com posing the camp will be under the di rect supervision of a company of reg ulars. One company i.f engineers and three of infantry will have charge of the wnrk of guardinor these s-ectlons, tnrwering the mils of the veterans and otherwise giving attention to their needs Many of the camp kltchenn were put in working order to1ay and smoke could be seen rising all over the site. a mile and a half square.
