’ NORTHERN BRftNCH
METHODISTS VOTE
FOB UNIFIED CHURCH
(By the Associated Press.) —The uni
fication of the Methodist Episcopal
church with the Methodist Episco-
* pal church, south, was ratified by the
Methodist Episcopal general confer
ence here today by a vote of 842 to
13. The aefion, if confirmed by the
Southern chhrch, will end a schism
that was created 80 years ago by a
southern bishop's ownership of
slaves.
t The report on unification was
made by a special commission ap
pointed by the general cohference at
Des Moines in 1920, and headed by
Bishop William F. McDowell. It met
with a similar commission, appoint
ed by the southern church, at Cin
cinnati in January, 1923. A joint
* committee there prepared the plan
approved today, and it was accepted
*by the joint commission at Cleveland
the following July.
The joint report, in essence, unites
the two churches in one church, with
two jurisdictions, under a constitu
tion, with a general conference and
two jurisdictional conferences. Ex
ery vote in the general conference
shall be by jurisdictions, and shall
■.. require the accepted majority vote'
each jurisdiction to be effective.
Equal Vote Provided
Provision is made for a judicial
council to pass upon the constitu
tionality of the acts of the general
conference and the jurisdictional con
ferences either on appeal or on its
( own motion, its decisions to be made
* by a majority vote of its total mem
’ bership. The council is to be elect
ed in equal number by each jurisdic
tional conference at the first session
of the general conference.
By restricting rules in the proposed
constitution, the general conference
is forbidden to “revoke, altar or
change our articles of religion or es
tablish any new standards or rules
* of doctrine contrary to our present
existing and established standards of
doctrine.”
Changes or alterations in the
church government “so as to do away
with the episcopacy, or destroy the
plan of our intinerant superintend
ency” are not allowed.
The bishops of the two churches
as at present constituted are to be
bishops of the united church, accord
-1 Ing to the plan, without further ac
tion. Immediately after the union
» shall be consummated they are to
organize as one body and arrange for
the superintendence of the work' of
the church.
Each of the jurisdictional confer
ences provided are to meet quadren
nially where the general conference
is to assemble and immediate!}' prior
to it.
t Southern Church to Act
, Pending the devising of a method
of amending the constitution at the
first general conference, the present
method in the separate churches is
to be continued.
The college of bishops of the south
ern church was in session today at
Nashville. Tenn., and by the plan
the college was instructed, when a
plan of unification Was approved by
‘the northern church by a two-thirds
* vote, to call a special session of the
southern church conference.
“A. signal triumph of the unifying
power of the passion, and cross of
Jesus Christ,” Bishop McDowell de
scribed the work of the joint com
mission in his address upon the re
port.
“If these two churches can come
* together,” he said, “in such a. man
' ner that the Methodist church in
lands outside the United States can
make a unified impact upon the non-
Christian world ... it will justify
pretty nearly every sacrifice that
either we or they were obliged to
make with reference to our own
work in the United States.
“The forward look, not the back-
* ward look, is the one we are asking '
you to take. . . . This task can only
be accomplished by uniting the
strength of those w’hose hearts are
devoted to the things that are ex-
/ cellent. We are willing to take the
southern church as it is. and they
are willing to take us as we are —
and with a minority of changes to
start with.
* Minority Protected
“By the voting plan whereby the
vote in the general conference shall
b» takeri by jurisdictions, the old
problem of protecting the minority.
’ which was such a stumbling block in
earlier attempts at unification, is
essentially taken care of.
“The report does not try to adjust
all the differences. It is thought
t that we can do more easily
when we are together and not far
apart*”
Bishop McDowell then repom
» mended that the report be not sub
mitted to a committee, and that a
direct vote be taken. There was
some opposition by those who later
voted against adoption, but the pre
viuos question was moved and car
ried, and fifteen minutes later the
842 favoring delegates rose to their
) feet in answer to the call of the
chairman, Bishop Edwin H. Hughes
, for a standing vote.
The other important act of the
conference at the morning session
was to give to a committee which is
to go to Washington today, a peti
tion to President Coolidge on behalf
of the Japanese to secure modifica
tion of the immigration law recently
enacted by congress excluding from
, this country aliens not eligible to
citizenship. The petition was pre-
* sented yesterday by Herbert B.
Johnson, of California.

Vegetation 4 From Foreign
Lands, Found to Thrive on
United States Soil, Fur
nishes Good Income
WASHINGTON, May B.—United
States, melting pot of foreign cropsi
Perhaps greater than Its fame as
m.ltlng pot of the world for human
immigrants, Is this unrecognized dis
tinction of adopting the plants of the
world for domestic growth.
Altgether GO,COO varieties of plants
have been ii M educed, most of them
in the last quarter century. And
enough commercial success has been
made from the “immigrants” to total
more than $100,000,000 annual income
for the farmers of this country.
Yet less than half a dozen of our
major crops ate native American.
Corn is the great 100-percenter. The
tomato, potato and tobacco may also
be termed native, although even
these might have been imported be
fore the white man came to this
country.
Explorers Out
That is abcut all. The rest of our
crops have been brought or sent
j from all corners of the earth to make
the United States one of the leading
farming countries ii the world.
Acquiring new crops is a regular
job, for which the department of
agriculture has established the office
of foreign.seed and plant introduc
tion. Explorers have been going out
for the last 25 years and have
brought back many new specimens
from travels tinged with romantic
adventure.
A small percentage of the 60,000
alien plants have been successes
here, but those that have succeeded
j have brought large fortunes to their
i growers.
Durum wheat, for instance,
! brought here from Russia 25 years
ago, and now grown in the great
plains region of the west, brings an
annual crop worth nearly $50,000,000.
Pima cotton from Egypt brings $5,-
000,000 a year.
In tlie southwest a prosperous date
, industry is already producing nearly
$300,000 worth of fruit annually.
Bamboo is being tested in Georgia,
and favorite plants of nearly all
other countries are being tried out
in various sections here.
Small Beginnings
The southwest, the middle west
and the east now know Sudan grass,
a wonderfully productive forage in
< troduced in a small bag from Africa
I in 1909. It is a good feed for live
stock and the half million acres now'
I devoted to it brings Uncle Sam addi
i tional wealth of $15,000,000 annually.
Supe-ior varieties of alfalfa from
Siberia and South America bring
; in $5,000,000 a year.
Avocados, or alligator pears, ih
i troduced from the tropics of Central
■ and south America, are now being
| grown in 1,000 acres of groves in
j Florida and California. Two thou-
I sand farmers in the southern states
are growing dasheens, a potato-like
I tuber from the tropics.
Hundreds of new plants are on
trial on government lands. Among
them are blight-proof pears, the
Chinese jujube, a tree w’lth wood
like mahogany, medicinal fruits, sap
that makes a cooling drink, a peach
flavored citrus fruit and a pigw'eed
that produced grain for the Aztecs.

PRESIDENT EXACTLY
DUOTED ON SHOALS.
DECLARES WITNESS
WASHINGTON, May 7.—James
Martin Miller, who, in a telegram,
quoted President Coolidge as saying
be was “trying to deliver” Muscle
Shoals to Henry Ford, told the sen
ate agriculture committee today that
he had “correctly and truthfully stat
ed the facts in the message which he
sent to Ford's secretary within twen
ty-five minutes after an Interview
with the president.
The president. Miller said, did not
deny the interview had taken place.
Mr. Coolidge, he insisted, brought up
the subject of Muscle Shoals.
“Tlie branding of the telegram as
a lie is a gross political dissemina
tion.” lie said.
Miller told the committe the gov
ernment had no secret service or
propaganda organization greater than
that of Ford's.
Before Miller took the stand Chair
man Norris inserted in the record the
letter sent to the committee by Hen
ry Ford, in which the manufacturer
said he would not be represented
further before the committee, giv
ing as one of the reasons “the recent
efforts of Chairman Norris to reflect
upon the integrity of the president
of the United States in connection
with our offer for Muscle Shoals.”
Norris Denies 111-Feeling
At the same time the chairman is
sued a statement declaring Ford’s
letter was “an attempt to shift the
attention of the public from the real
question at issue” and adding that
he would continue his course in try
ing “to save for the people” the “val
uable inheritance of our national re
sources.”
“I have no ill feeling toward any
one in connection with Muscle
Shoals,” Chairman Norris said.
“Mr. Ford's statement, published
in the papers, that I have been try
ing to reflect upon the integrity of
the president is simply an attempt
to shift the attention of the public
from the real question at issue. I
am sincerely endeavoring to save
for the people of the United States
the valuable inheritance of our na
tional resources, and I will continue
to do this regardless of results and
regardless of who may be Involved.
I do not want a controversy with
the president or with anyone else,
but I will not deviate from what I
believe to be my duty in bringing
out the proper evidence before the
committee, regardless of what the
effect may be, either upon me or
upon anyone else.
“The evidence stands undisputed
that the president did have an inter
view with Mr. Miller on the 12th of
October. 1923. and it is undisputed
that Mr. Miller sent the telegram
printed in the record, and that such
telegram was received by Mr. Ford’s
private secretary. It is also undis
puted that following the telegram,
Mr. Miller went to Detroit and talk
ed the matter over with Mr. Ford’s
secretary and with Mr. Ford him
self.
Denial of President
“The president has not denied
that the subject of this interview
was Muscle Shoals. He has simply
stated that he has not made an at
tempt to turn Muscle Shoals over to
anybody. I read the president’s
statement into the record so that
all sides of the controversy may be
heard. The committee and the sen
ate, as well as the public, can draw
their own conclusions.”
The next witness was Gustavus
Obert, Jr., president of the nation
al fertilizer association. He said his
firm manufactured 98 per cent of
all fertilizer used in the country.
Obert discussed the production
and varieties of fertilizer and the
effect of mixtures on soil and said
fertilizer manufacturers had gone
as far as the agriculturists would
permit in making concentrated fer
tilizer.
He said there is ho “fertilizer
I trust” adding that competition had
i become so great several concerns
had gone out of business.
Obert said fertilizer material is
bought in France and Germany and
elsdwhere and that the potash mon
opoly of Germany has been broken,
resulting in establishing a potash
industry in this country.
Another result, he said, was to
put the price of potash in this coun
try at its pre-war level.
“The present equipment at Mus
cle Shoals,” he said, “is only suit
able for the production of am
monium nitrate, and, although it
is proposed to produce ammonium
sulphate, I see no reason for in
creasing its production as we are
now exporting 125,000 tons of this
material annually.
“I think what you will get at
Muscle Shoals is a new fertilizer
ingredient, but I do not believe it
will substitute for the present ma
terials. It will be a benefit but not
I a panacea.” f

SUPERIOR JUDGES'
SALARY ADVAWED
TO 510.000 II YEAR
Five judges of the Fulton superior
court have been voted an Increase
in salary of $2,500 annually by the
Fulton county commission, making
the salary of each SIO,OOO per year,
effective October 1, 1924. The ac- ■
tion of the board was taken Wednes
day afternoon following a petition
by a number of members of the At
lanta Bar association, many of whom
addressed the commissioners in be
half of the increase.
The board also recommended legis
lative action which will allow in
creasing the salaries of the two city
court judges.
Among the lawyers advocating the
increase were Reuben Arnold. James
A. Branch and Grover Middlebrooks.
They pointed out that the position of
judge is an important one and un
less the salary is adequate, it would
be difficult to get high class lawyers
to accept the positions. Statistics
showing the salaries paid to judges
in cities of the same size in Atlanta
were read.
The five whose salaries are increas
ed are Judges W. D. Ellis, George L.
Bell, John D. Humphries, E. D.
Thomas and G. H. Howard. The
state pays each $5,000 a year, and
the county, which has been paying
$2,500 annually, will pay each judge
$5,000.
