LEAK IS EXONERATED.
Giver a Seat In African Methodists’
General Conlerenee.
Chicago, May 9. —Rev. R. H. W. Leak
of North Carolina was to-day declared
a member of the African Methodist
Episcopal General Conference. The
action followed an exhaustive inquiry
on the part of the conference into the
affairs of the church book concern at
Philadelphia, of which Leak had been
business manager and from which po
sition he had been "deposed in 1901.
The victory of Rev. Leak was held to
be a vindication of his methods as
business manager of the book Concern.
For two days the general conference
has thrashed the matter out In execu
tive sessions. Rev. John H. Collett of
Baltimore had been appointed succes
sor of Leak and has held the position
for three years. The matter came to a
vote this afternoon. It was announced
that the vote was heavily in favor of
Leak. The action carried with it a
seat in tho conference for Leak and
arrears in salary for the three years
which he had been ousted from his po
sition.
The original charges against Dr.
Leak grew out of an alleged shortage
in his accounts. Leak maintained that
the previous investigation, in which he
was deprived of his office, was a
farce. After he was deposed in 1901,
Leak was made general missionary to
North Carolina and later presiding
elder.

DIED FROM WOUND THAT
WAS SELF-ADMINISTERED.
Atlanta, May 9.—W. C. Hafely, poet
and author, died to-day at the Grady
Hospital, as the result of a pistol shot
wound inflicted by himself with suici
dal intent. On April 30, as a result
of continued sickness and other mis
fortunes, which brought on melancho
lia, he took a pistol and fired two
shots at himself. As the result of
nervousness the first one did not take
effect, but the second shot penetrated
his right temple, though it did not
strike the brain. His health was such,
however, that he could not survive the
shock.
He was 79 years old, and is survived
by a son. His "Sketches by the Way
side” have passed through one edition
and the second edition is now on the
press.
