Staff correspondence of The Gazette- News. . Lake Junaluska, June 28 John R. Pepper of Memphis presided over the conference this morning. The lay men In missions was the general topic, and there was the largest attendance since the conference began. Many people were present from Asheville, having come by motor and by train. The conference adjourned at 12:30 and instead of the usual afternoon ses sion at 4 o'clock there will be group meetings, the delegates from each state assembling for the purpose of getting acquainted. The first speaker was J. Campbell AVhite of New York, general secretary of the Laymen's Missionary movement in the United States and Canada, whose subject was "The Layman's l'luco in Worldwide Evangelism." Mr. Whits said that he had been going up and down the world j for many years and had visited many religlo'i assemblies, but he believed that the Lake Junaruska ground holds possi- bilities of being the most beautiful religious assembly place on earth. The speaker emphasized the duty. of the layman according to his ability and opportunity to spread the religion of the church through the World; as Trent a duty as that of the clergy. Lay responsibility Is now being recognized; there Is conviction that God holds the layman responsible for more than the puymenof pew rent and church dues, and the layman must help to carry out the Christian program of the world. "Never before In the history of the world," said Mr. White, "has it been so possible for one life to be In touch with other lives In other parts if the world; the average man today has more opportunity for influence than St. Paul had In his day." This Is a time for all churches to work together, to work In unity, he said, In the foreign field and at home. It Is utterly Impossible for the heathen to understand such differences, for Instance, as those existing between , church "Women of the East as a Factor in the New Lifo of the Orient" by Miss Elizabeth Calalborne, in which she impressed upon the conference the need of the eastern woman for christ ian religion, of how the future of the Chinese republic must depend upon the christian education hot only of the men, but the women as well and through them the coming generations of unborn children. She went on to say that Chinese women will take their part in the pol itical life of their new nation, that even now in many of the christian schools of China, many women are be ing educated to help conduct govern mental affairs. Miss Claiborne told wonderful ex periences she had had with native Chinese women and children, exper iences that touched the large audi ence and held them spellbound for al most the full 30 minutes. Immediately after the ' afternoon session was over, Mr. Collyer, who has charge of the. "Exhibit of Mis sions," together with his assistants. 2 1 about 15 in number, presented a pag- cevm. uu me auuuonum piatrorm, il lustrating the work medical mission aries have to do in Korea. It was most Impressive and all those taking part were dressed In native costumes. Just after this, they showed scenes from, the Immigration department of one of our American ports. The scene was entitled "The Landing of Uie immigrant.- Tiiese exhibits were witnessed by the audience of at least 2600 people who followed every word and movement of the participants with much interest. Many of those taking part are boys and girls who live In and around Waynesville and showed, wonderful training and pre paration. . Night Session. The largest audience of the con ference was present last evening, the auditorium being well filled and many standing around the open sides. Bishop VV. B. Murrah presided In the absence of R. S. Munger, and Bishop E. R. Hindrix, conducted the devo tional exercises in the absence of Dr. T. A. Smoot. Two of the very strongest addresses that have been delivered since the conference opened were given last evening, both speakers having national reputations. The first speaker of the evening way Rev. Dr. Egbert W. Smith of Nash ville, general secretary of the Board of Missions of the Southern Presbyterian church. Dr.. Smith was formerlv pas tor of a church in Greensboro and has occupied other pulpits In the state. His- address, "Stewardship," was de livered in the most forceful manner and he swayed the great vast audience time and again as he proclaimed some thrilling point. Dr. Smith spoke along the line oi men with money and their attitude toward the church, saying the more wealth the average man accumulates the lesa he gives to the church and that the fact that money brought ovorvthine else the man seemed to think it was left to the other fellow to contribute to the support of the church. He referred! to the great trust that God had placed in the hands of the Jews by letting them have knowledge of Himself, in order v.. .aid that thev might tell the world and how the Jew had failed in this th createst trust ever given human beings and that since then the story of Jew had been one of trouble and suffering. He closed with an elo ont ulna for men to wake up and give a part of their possessions to the RAILBDADIMG" .FftVDR KEEPING lEXTREME HERT A fiilllli If jplS AT EETTYSBURG Manner in which Watts Was Named and Confirmed Sur prise to Appointee Eimself.

Gazette-News Bureau, Watts Building, Washington, June 28. There is little probability that the office of the collector of inornal reve nue for western North Carolina will be removed from Statesville, cortajn ly not in the near future. The loca tion of the office is generally left with the collector. Statesville being the home of Mr. Watts, it is not thought that he will be in a hurry about going to another town to live. When the new federal building at Winston-Sa lem is completed there is a chance of the office being moved to the Twin City, but not until that time. The nomination of Col. Watts yes. terday was a great surprise, even to ol. Watts himself. It has been known for several days that his nomi nation would eventually be sent in. hut it was not believed that it would ome for some time. But the biggest urprise of all was the way In which his nomination was railroaded through he senate without being referred to proper committee for considera- on. Long before tne executive ses- ion had adjourned It was known on the street that Watts had been con- irmed. The announced purpose of fighting Watts' confirmation before the com mittee was effectively blocked. There probably only one other caae of onflrmlng a man the same day that his nomination was sent in that of Pomp Loiftg for postmaster at States- Hie. Long was a republican and it hud been arranged to hold up his omination. To prevent this his friends had him confirmed the same ay his name went before the senate. A political fight which has been waged- between the factions of the arty headed by Secretary of the Navy Tosephus Daniels on one side and Sen ators Simmons and Overman on the ther was brought to a close last night when President Wilson sent to the icnate the nomination of Alston D. Watts of Statesville, to be collector of nternal revenue for the western- dis- rict of North Carolina. A new re orcl was made for confirming a nomi nation when the senate, within a few minutes after Watts' name was re- eived upon the floor, allowed his con- rmation to be made without bring referred to a committee, which is the isual proceedure. It has been known for several days hat the president had decided to name Watts. This decision was reach d after the president had given more time to those for and against the Ire loll man than he has to any other ap pointment of twice the magnitude of he collectorshlp job. In naming Watts, it can be said without fear of violating any confidence, that the pres ident was deeply sensible of the Jus ice of the fight made against Mr, Watts; he was convinced that the harges that Watts was not a progres sive and had never been In sympathy with tho president's policies were well 'ounded. He could not, however, turn down the personul request of Senators Simmons and Overman who vouched for the ability and good character of Watts. And It is equally true that but for the high regard which Presi dent Wilson has for Senator. Simmons he would not have considered the ame of Watts after having been told ill that has been laid before him In regard to the appointment. Senator Simmons today is one of the most powerful men In the United States senate and when he told the president that he wanted Watts appointed and vouched for his integrity and ability Mr. Wilson could not refuse the re quest.

Attorney General McReynolds and representa tives of the Union Pacific, it was definitely learned today, have reached an agreement for the dissolution of ' the great Harrlman merger. The principles of the plan are in harmony with the views of President Wilson and he is expected to approve. It will ' be submitted Monday to the judges of ' the United States court for the eighth circuit at St Paul. The plan will go to the court with the government's approval, qualified only by a request that the judges give a limited time before entering a final decree, during which the government; may possibly make objections which . cannot now be foreseen. Attorney General McReynolds does not expect to go to St Paul buL will send G. Car roll Todd, special assistant, who has been associated in the negotiations. J Attorney General McReynolds today said he was not ready to discuss the situation or details. It is understood, however, that the plan will provide for exchanging $38,000,000 of South ern Pacific stock held bv Union Pa cific for Pennsylvania's interest in the Baltimore & Ohio and the sale of the remaining $88,000,000 Southern Pa cific through the medium of a trust company under such safeguards as will end control of the Southern Pa cific by either the Uunon Pacific or its shareholders. -Officiate today declared that Presl- r dent Wilson and Attorney" , General McReynolds had been - in perfect ac cord all along to reaoh an agreement . for the dissolution provided a plan . could be evolved that would meet the demands of the Sherman law. It was declared that while there had never been any tendency to place obstacles in the way of an agreement the ad ministration had insisted on an "ade quate dissolution." " The plan evolved, it Is believed, wlH accomplish it, but the government takes the precaution of asking for a limited time within which to make objections, so that in case public dis cussion of the proposition and further study by officials shows any weak nesses, the hands of the administra tion will not be tied. . -l As the plan of dissolution does not provide for the separation of the Southern and Central Pacific, officials of the department of Justice today re Iterated that Attorney-General Mo Reynolds later on would bring a civil anti-trust suit under the Sherman law to accomplish that result With the expiration of the time for evolving a plan dissolving the I'nion Pacific merger only three days off. President Wilson and Attorney Gen eral McReynolds early today pursued their efforts to avoid a government re ceivership for the great combination. The president having upset his per sonal plans for a week's vacation, delved into the Intricate detail, of the disintegration. Attorney General Mc Reynolds continued conference, with Paul D. Cravath, counsel for the Union Pacific . Cravath had planned to return to New York yesterday, but remained In Washington to complete the negotiations. It is generally understood that,' apart from the dissolution, the attor ney general later will begin proceed ings under the Sherman law to sepa rate the Central Pacific from the Southern Pacific. The Supreme court did not decide that question in the Union Pacific case, but held that noth ing In its mandate should prejudice future attempts by negotiation or liti gation to sever the Central Pacific from Its parent The proposal by which the Union Pacific would give 138,000,000 of Its holdings in Southern Pacific to the Pennsylvania for the latter'.
