THE CONFERENCE
AND VANDERBILT
Nashville, Tenn.— That t'ne general
conlerence of the Southern Methodist
church, held recently at Oklahoma
City has voluntarily terminated its
relations with Vanderbilt University
and voluntarily denounced all rights
to confirm the election of members
of the board of trust of the Univer
sity and that it is now the right and
duty of the board of trust to fill va
cancies in its body without request
ing or receiving the confirmation of
the general conference or any of its
agencies was the sense of a resolu
tion adopted by today’s meeting of
the board here.
By Supreme Court.
The resolution recites the litigation
between the college of Bishops and
the Board of Trust, recently decided
by the Tennessee supreme court,
setting out that the court held that
the Board of Trust elected Its own
members but that such elections
snould be confirmed by the general
conference acting through the general
board of education but that such right
would cease in the event that the gen
eral conferenc should at any time
surrender or renounce that right or
the relations decreed to be existing,
or if it should at any time refuse to
confrm members elected by the board.
The resolution declares that the gen
eral conference “has refused to co
operate with the university or with
this board and has thereby terminat
ed any and all right of confirmation
it had under said decree or other
wise.’’
It Further Says.
The resolution further states
"That the direction given by the
general conference to the general
board of education to exercise the
right of confirmation until the trans
fer and conveyance ordered shall
have been perfected and executed
does not prevent the action of the
general conference from operating to
determine and put an end to the re
lations between the general confer
ence from operating to determine and
■put an end to the relations Detween
the general conference and the uni
versity existing prior to such action
and . . ...
“That all relations between the
university and the general conference
were voluntarily terminated by the
action of the general conference, and
because of such action, 'nave ceased
and ended as the said decree of court
declared should result from such vol
untary action or from failure or co
operation on the part of the general
conference.”

THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA. GA.
INQUIRY INTO
THE 1,000 DEAD
Distinguished Court Meets To
day to Place Blame For Dis
aster of the St. Lawrence.
Quebec. —Under the presidency of
Lord Mersey, the distinguished British
jurist, a government court of inquiry
convened her© today to investigate the
disaster In the St. Lawrence river in
which the Canadian Pacific steamer
Empress of Ireland sank and more
than a thousand persons lost their
lives.
The inquiry is expected to center
about two main points, the interna
tional rules to prevent collisions, and
the action taken by the captain of the
Storstad, the steamer which collided
with and sunk the Empress of Ireland.
Counsel for the owners and officers
of the Storstad are expected to con
tend that when the two vessels sighted
each other the Storstad was off the
starboard bow of the Empress and,
according to the rules of the sea, the
Canadian Pacific steamer was bound
to keep out of her way.
The Faster Vessel.
Emphasis may also be laid on the
fact that the faster vessel, the Em
press, was going down stream and the
Storstad coming up. As the events
following the collision the representa
tives for the Storstad will offer tes
timony to Hhow that the collier heard
the cries of the drowning and whistled
repeatedly to the Empress but received
no reply and Immediately lowered
boats to engage in the work of rescue.
The government has subpoenaed be
tween 60 and 70 witnesses and the
inquiry is expected to be in session
at leats a week. Among the witnesses
will be Captain H. G. Kendall of the
Empress, First Officer E. Jones, Chief
Engineer W. Sampson, Lookout J.
Carroll, and about twenty-five mem
bers of the crow.
For the Storstad.
For the Storstad there will be Cap
tain Thomas Andersen, First Officer
Turftness, Second Officer Einar Rcin
ert, Third Officer Jacob Sachs, Chief
Engineer L. Syvertsen, Third Engineer
Jacob Lundqulst, who was on watch
at the time of the accident, and be
tween thirty and forty others. It Is
possible also that Mrs. Anderson, wife
of the captain, may be called, besides
a number of Empress passengers
whom the Storstad counsel are said
to have in reserve but who have not
yet been subpoenaed.
Examinations of Witnesses.
Quebec. —Examination of witness
was in charge of Edmund L. New
combe, K. C., deputy minister of jus
tice. The Canadian Pacific railroad,
owners of the Empress, placed its case
in the care of Hutler Aspinall, K. C„
London, England, and several local
lawyers Counsel for Captain Ken
dall and the officers and crew of the
Empress were Aime Geoffreon, K. C. t
Montreal and A. C. M. Thompson,
Quebec.
The Storstad’s owners relied on C.
A. Duclos, Montreal. J. W. Griffin and
C. S. Haigh, New York, hoth members
of the United States admiralty, Nor
man Beecher, New York, and Arthur
Fitzpatrick, Quebec.
Otulines Features.
Mr. Newcombe opened by outlining
the salient features of the foundering
of the Empress. It had been very dif
ficult, he said, for the Canadian Pa
cific railroad to obtain accurate fig
ures of the death list on account of
the number of European foreigners on
board but it was now placed at 1,014
with 463 saved.
Mr. Newcombe declared the nature
of the damage to the Empress could
not be proved. Divers were unable
to ascertain her condition, as she was
lying on her Hide 1n the mud. Neither
question of pilotage nor the proximity
to the land was Involved, he said, only
regulations for preventing collisions at
sea apply to the case.

Jointly participated In by regular army
soldiers and members of the militia of
several Southern states. Each state in
the division will have a certain period
assigned for its troops to be in the
camp.
This encampment is what Is known
as maneuver camp. They are held
every other year by the war depart
ment. The last one was held near
Anniston, Ala., In the summer of 1912.
In the notices telegraphed by Adju

that Georgia will be well represented

that, inasmuch ns the war department
took the camp away from South

state should show its appreciation and
interest by a full attendance of the

wagons and the firm has a reputation
and prestige of 70 years of successful
wagor. manufacturing to maintain.
The automobile business of the con
cern has grown to such extent that
3,000 of the 4,200 men are employed
In the automobile department.
“Forty finished automobiles are
turned out each day and the demand
for them is so great that the cars are
shipped ol’f Immediately to eager and
expectant dealers.
“One of the great, distinguishing
charactertsttes of the Mitchell cax Is
the fact that Its makers know what
is in it. In other words, 97 per cent
of the car Is actually made In the plant
of the company at Racine, whereas
the great majority of automobiles are
merely assembled and given a name
and the alleged manufacturer does
really nothing more than operate an
assembling plant. The only parts of
the Mitchell that are not made at
Racine by the company are the elec
tric self-starter, generator and horn,
the tires and the carburetter. The Ray
field carburetter, the best In the coun
try, is used, and the Remy Electric
Company furnishes the electrical parts
and there are none better. Every part
of the Milchcll Is guaranteed and ev
ery part that proves faulty Is replaced
without charge.
“Years of experience have taught
the manufacturers of this car that tt
has to have a certain weight to stand
ui> under hard usage and a lighter car
will not. give the proper service. Tha
Mitchell people afle being rewarded
for the pains they have taken In tho
manufacture of their cars for there Is
an ever-increasing demand for the
Mitchell all over tho country. No bet
ter car was ever put on the market for
a price anywhere in the neighborhood
of the Mitchell and I predict that with
in a. short time there will he great
numbers of these cars in Augusta.
“Every man who has purchased one
is immensely pleased with It and the
slogan of tho Mitchell-Lewis Company
Is 'once a purchaser always a boost
er.’ ”
