Washington, Xov. 2S. Funeral ser vices for the late Wililam Wilson Fin ley, president ot the Southern Rail way system, were held here this morning in St. John's . Episcoopal church, attended by many government officials aid his former associates in the commercial and transportation world. As the body was carried into the church just before 11 o'clock all ac tivities over the Southern Railway's 7.000 miles of road ceased for five minutes. Employes everywhere laid down their work, trains everywhere came to a standstill and in shops ma chinery ceased to turn. Officials and employes at headquar ters of the company assembled in front of the general offices on Penn sylvania avenue and marched to the church in a drizzling rain. The body was borne by six negro porters, vet erans in the employ of the railway company. The honorary pall-bearers were: Colonel A. B. Andrews, George F. Baker, James J. Hill, Charles Steele, Fairfax Harrison, E. H. Gray, Adrian Iseliii. Jr., George F. Baker. Jr.. Fran cis Lynde Stetson, Alexander P. Hum phrey, Alfred P. Thorn, J. M. Gulp, T. C. Powell, Henry B. Spencer, E. H. Coapman, R. D. Lankfdrd, R. V. Tay lor, John B. Muson, H. C. Ansley, A. C. Downing, Leonard M. Levering. Expressions of sympathy for the family and sentiments of appreciation of Mr. Finley's ' work in the present day development of the south, a move ment in which he was a commanding figure have come in large number not only from his associates in the transportation world but from com mercial and trade organizations throughout the states the railroad system traverses. Among them were telegrams from organizations in Meridian, Miss., and Xorfolk, Va.. the Greater Western Xorth Carolina Association; Winston Salem board of trade; the chambers of. commerce at Birmingham, Ala., Chattanooga, Tenn., Greenville, S. C, and Macon Ga., and the Industrial League of Claremont, Va. Burial was in Oak Hill cemetery in this city. REGIONAL GUIS . 0IS0USSEI By Associated Press. Washington, Xov. 28. Location ot the regional reserve banks to be es tablished by the new currency bill became a matter of pressing import ance when the demorcatic conference resumed work today. The insistence of Senator Hoke Smith and Senator Bacon, of Georgia, that , the territory tributary to Atlanta would not do business with a regional bank at Xew Orleans may force the conference to at least informally outline districts and locations for the banks. While the administration bill pro poses eight regional banks the con ference may finally increase them to ten. The bill that passed the house provided 12. The decision or the conference, when it gives its final approval to the bill, probably will be accepted as binding by all but one or two dem ocrats; and the .measure will .be taken up in the senate again Monday un der circumstances expected to bring about its early passage. Senator Smith has declared ne will oppose the bill if it is not made clear that Atlanta will be indepen dent of Xew Orleans under the new system. The position of the Georgia senators is supported by others from Southern Atlantic states who claim that that section of the country does its banking business with eastern cities and that it would be seriously inconvenienced if this natural devel opment were changed. It is under stood the Georgia senators would be satisfied if their territory were put into a district with a regional bank at Washington. th steamer hazard IS ASHORE. By Associated Press. Alpena, Mich.. Xov. 28. It- was learned here today that the steamer Hazard, owned by S. C. McLouth of Marine City, and loaded with cement is ashore off Lockport in Lake Huron. It is said that 3,000 barrels of cement will probably have to be thrown over board before the vessels can be re ip.asp.d. The steamer Nicholas with a cargo of flax is still aground oft North LOCATION rtDSPEGTS E FOR QUEENS COL LEGE F The chairman of the committees ap pointed to raise the $150,000 for Queens College met today at 1 o'clock at the Selwyn hotel and conferred as to fur ther details about prosecuting the cam paign and hetrd informally the reports from the chairman of one or two com mittees, which were of the most en couraging nature. It was voted that the formal receiv ing of the reports from the committees should date from tomorroy at 1 o'clock instead of from the meeting today at that hour, for the reason that the chair men of one or two of the committees were unavoidably absent from the meeting on business that called them out of the city. Another factor thatj contributed to the reaching of this de cision was the fact that most of the ; committeemen had spent a strenuous day yesterday in various ways and one or two of them had had to attend court today as witnesses in an important case that is being heard there. The note of optimism that animated the meeting was manifest from the first, and the verbal statements from several committeemen as to the aid they had been promised, as well as to the actual pledges of aid reported by several gave color to the belief that the amount desired can be raised in a short while. Mr. D. L. Probeht, chairman of the general organization, presided at the discussion today, after the luncheon, and suggested and heard plans for fur ther details about the furtherance of the campaign. The chairmanship of several of the committees were chang ed because it was found that a shift ing of several of them would allow more time to be given to the campaign personally than could be given by the chairmen first appointed. One of the items of fdiscussion was that of a publicity campaign. It was agreed to use a discourse and an argu ment in behalf of the cause, prepared by Rev. D. H. Rolston, as an official statement of the purpose and aim of the present campatign and to have the argument published and distributed in pamphlet form. It was stated by sever al of the committeemen that there seemed to be a misapprehension on the part of some people that the chang ing of the name of the coliegft from the Presbyterian College for Women to Queens College marked a change in the purpose of the college also and that it would hereafter be non-denominational and that it would lose its peculiar function of being a college fo rthe training of Christian young wo men. The purpose of the contemplated pamphlet will be in part to controvert this erroneous impression. The meeting of the committee w-ill be held agains tomorrow at 1 o'clock, at which time the first full reports will be heard from the chairmen of the various committees as to what progress they have made in the way of getting the required amount of money. From the preliminary reports received to day, the first real report tomorrow is expected to be very gratifying to every friend of the college. Big Damage Case Still On In The Superior Court At the resumption of civil court to day, after suspension for Thanksgiving the 'case of the Norfolk Southern Rail way against the Mecklenburg Mills Company of this city, was taken up again and will not be finished, it is predicted, before late tomorrow even ing, if indeed, it does not have to be continued until next court for lack of time. The case is the most important one, perhaps, that has come up before the present court. Some months ago, when the Norfolk Southern Railway tracks were built through the corner of the Mecklenburg Mills Company's proper ty at North Charlotte, a board of as sessrs appointed by the clerk of the court appraised the damage to the mill company at $12,000. Both the mill com pany and the railroad appealed from the decision, the railroad company be cause they thought it was too high and the mill company because they thought it was too low. Messrs. Pharr & Bell and Tillett & Guthrie repre sent the railway company, while Messrs. Maxwell & Keerans and Can sler & Cansler represent the mill com pany. TRUST LEGISLATION Bv Associated Press. 'Washington, Nov. 28. Joseph E. Davies, commissioner of corporations, conferred with President Wilson to day about anti-trust legislation. Mr. Davies submitted the reports of some of his inquiries. .The president is gathering information preparatory to a series of conferences with congres sional leaders framing bills. It is understood the administration will not seek to concentrate attention on anti-trust reform until the cur rency bill has been passed in the senate but there is a possibility that members of committees may intro duce their bills before the Christmas holidays. ... , N CONFER ON m v"if v" '4 r "v '4 'i 't 4 ' v 'v v" c ' i '1 c -v v - v- '4 Uf'.

B. Alexander Jr. Bending Every Effort to Bring This Instiu tion to Charlotte. Call Issuer to Alumni to Meet Offices Tomorrow Afternoon Mews First Started Agi tation to Secure Location of Horner's. Horner's Military Academv which is now located in Oxford may be brought to Charlotte and a meeting of the alumni of this well known insti tution has been called foe Saturday afternoon to consider the matter and to formulate a specific proposition to submit to Captain Horner, the princi pal of this school for boys, with a view to bringing the school to the Queen City, Professor Horner being expected in Charlotte Wednesday. The leader in the movement to bring Horner's School to Charlotte is the Greater Charlotte Club, aided by Mr. S. B. Alexander, Jr., an alumnus of this institution and an enthusiastic worker in the effort to get this ex cellent school for Charlotte. In keeping with the plans of the club and Mr. Alexander and the alum ni who are interested in this question, the following call will be issued to night, for the meeting Saturday after noon: . - - A The Calf. '-- ' Dear Sir: You doubtless noticed in the daily papers a few days ago that the bar racks of the Horner School at Oxford were destroyed by fire. Following this announcement several towns made Professor Horner proposition with a view to getting him to leave Oxford. The Secretary of the Greater Char lotte Club also took this matter up with Professor Horner and he has sig nified his willingness to bring his school to Charlotte, provided proper inducements are offered him. Profes sor Horner will be in Charlotte on Wednesday next at w-hich time the Greater Charlotte Club will lay a prop osition before him. With a view of dis cussing the matter fully, all of the old Horner boys are requested to meet in the office of the Greatr Charlott Club tomorrow, Saturday afternoon, at five o'clock, at which time the bringing of this school to Charlotte will be dis cussed fully. Please call the writer up, telephone No. 366, and advise him whether you will be present. Yours very truly. (Signed) S. B.ALEXAXDER, JR. News Gave First intimation. The first intimation of the possibil ity of the removal of Horner's School from Oxford was given in the editorial columns of The Xews some days ago and the suggestion was there offered that Charlotte had an excellent oppor tunitv to go after this school for her self. " Soon thereafter the Greater Char lotte Club and Mr. S. B. Alexander, Jr., fully alive to the possibilities of this matter,- became interested, with the, results stated above, and it now appears that Charlotte will have an ex cellent chance to secure this first class and high-grade school for boys. Other Cities Want It. Since the matter was taken up by The Xews, other papers of the state, notably the Greensboro Xews and the Raleigh Xews and Observer are clam oring to secure the location of Hor ner's in their cities. Lynchburg, Va., is a strong bidder for the location, having already offered valuable inducements in the way of free sites, etc. Dr. Wnv Craig Faces Murder Charge By Associated Press. Shelbyville, Ind., Xov. 28. Fifty veniremen from whom it was hoped to secure the jury to decide the fate of Dr. William B. Craig of Indianap olis, charged with killing Dr. Helene Knabe there two years ago, respond ed to summons when the circuit court was convened here today. While the majority of attorneys con nected with the case declared that it might be several days before a jury was secured, a few expressed the opinion that the twelve men would be elected before adjournment was taken this afternoon. Of the 50 men sum moned forty were farmers and eight were Shelbyville business men. Judge Blair has made preparations for holding night sessions if it is found necessary and yesterday electric lights were installed in the court room.

Pittsburg, Pa., Nov. 28. Steam shovels were today employed in tear ing up the remnants of the nine foot sewer wrecked for a. mile in the Lawrenceville district by an explo sion of sewer gas last Wednesday. Debris had clogged the channel and sewage and water had backed up, un dermining the walls of a brewery so that it was in danger of falling in. Two hundred employes were hurri edly driven into the street by city in spectors. Large holes have appear ed in the streets under which the sewer runs and the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad tracks at Thirty-third street are under water. The working force was today in creased by the contractors to about one thousand, engineers having re vised their estimates to show that fully 5600,000 damage had been done.

Chmch South "BACK HOME" WAS SLOGAN WITH THE CITY HALL FOLKS Thanksgiving day being a legal hol iday with city hall officials, it devel oped today that the majority of the habitues of the municipal building passed by the town with its artificial lights and glitter and spent the c'ay in their ol,a haunts in the woods of Mecklenburg. Foremost among those who led the exodus back to the woods were Mr. John M. Wilson and Mr. R. P. Con. nelly, who heard the call of the wild to the Ferieltown and the Hunters-' ville environs respectively, these offi cials of the city traveling back to the haunts of their boyhood days before daylight and spending the entire day on the old stamping grounds. To the mind of Mr. Wilson the at tractions of the fireside presented the mcst promising outlook or a day's rest, and he accordingly sat by a big wood fire and gazed over the Ferieltown acres with placidity and serene com posure of his countenance, and enjoy ed the day thoroughly. To Mr. Connelly, however, the fire side offered little in the way of ex citement, and he therefore quickly or ganized a rabit-hunt and spent the day afield, incidentally bagging 24 rab bits from the section about Hunters ville. Tiiese officials were back in the city in time to be at their posts this morn ing at the hour for opening business, Mr. Wilson charged with new stories gathered around the fireside of the folk-lore and ancient history of Ferrel town, and Mr. Connelly eleated over the abundance of rabbits in upper Mecklenburg and the delights of th'e chase which he took part in on Thanksgiving.

In the 4-ball match between Bonnor, professional, and Daingerfield against Patterson and Paul, the latter won the contest with 4 up in a 30 hole match. There were three prizes offered in the first-named event, the first being a loving cup by Mr. A. J. Draper, while prizes for second and third scores were offered by the Gibson-YVcolley Company, a handsome handbag and a sweater as second and third prizes re spectively. The tournament, being a handicap event, put the contestants on an equal footing as far as this could be de- termined from previous scores of thefocratic spirit in the church, regarding participants by the special committee consisting of Messrs. Fred S. Laxton, C. T. Durham and Julian S. Miller. The Draper cup must be won three times to give possession of the same to the winner. This cup is a very handsome trophy, one of the finest that the Country Club golfers have ever competed for in a local tournament, and the rivalry for this cup promises to be a live one until its permanent possessor is made known from the results of contests yet to be played. The match between Messrs. Bonner and Patteron against eMssrs. Paul and Daingerfield, was witnessed by many golf enthusiasts and was a highly ex citing game. Mr. Paul is the only scratch player amoung the member ship of the Club while Mr. Bonner is rated as a professional and Messrs.

Conference Adopts Resolution in Regard to "Mere Demo cratic Methods in The Mak ing of Appointments And a Freer Exchange oj Views.

This session of the Western Norl.li Carolina Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church. South, like that of the session of every annual conference just preceding the general conference is of special interest and among the chief points of interest in this connec tion is the presentation of memorials to the general conference and the ref ere nee of the same to the committee on memorials to the general confer ence. The memorials presented by on? conference are noted with interest by other conferences. On account oi the fact that the memorials presentee are to be considered by delegates front all the conferences who shall constitute the committee on memorials at the general conference and will be broughi before the general conference as s whole in the report of that committee. The memorials presented touch every phase of the work of the church, the policy of the church, proposed chang es in government and all matters upor. which the highest court of the church can take action.

Resolution. "Whereas, there is a desire for mor democratic methods in the making ot 1he appointments and a freer and fuller exchange of views between the pre siding bishop and the presiding elder:-: en the one side and the preachers and the churches on the other side, vResolved, that the Virginia confer ence hereby merorialize general con ference to take such action as will re quire th appointing power to consult as far as practicable, both charges and preachers before the final draft of tbo appointments is read." It Is not to be doubted that the dis cussion of this memorial by the com mittee on the memorials of the general conference will prove of more than usual jnterest and it is not to be doubt Pf1 that ovv ins. tn fhis inereoKfi nf dPm. the making of the appointments sim ilar memorials have been and will be sent to the general conference by other conferences. Prior to the general conference of 1910 the presiding bishop had the power, if he desired to use the same to make the appointments of the preach ers without the knowledge of the cab inet composed of the presiding elders; the general conference of 1910, how ever, passed a resolution requiring the bishops to read the entire list of the appointments to the presiding elders before reading them to the conference.
