TAYLOR STREETERS' LOSE
Conference Refuses to Separate rixst
Chinch Congregation; Contro
rersy Is Ended.
Saratoga, N. Y., May 25. (U. P.)
By a vote of 434 to 350 the Methodist
general conference this afternoon de
cided to retain the church rule pro
viding that Methodists must not play
cards, dance or attend theatres. There
was no debate.
The conference adopted a resolution
favoring the rights of employes and
employers to organize.
A report asking church members to
refrain from smoking was submitted,
lt will be debated later.
Portland "Insurgents" Lose.
Information reached Portland "in
surgents" two days ago that the gen
eral conference of the Methodist Epis
copal church woild decide against the
contention of the "Taylor Streeters" in
their controversy with the First
church and confirmation of this was
received today when it was announced
the Judiciary committee yesterday had
reported against the petition to sepa
rate the church. The report of the
judiciary committee is tantamount to
a decision of the conference itself.
Portland Methodists. Just as their
feelings of sympathy dictate, afs
pleased or disappointed at the action
of the conference which is the last
word that can be said on the matter,
but all are glad that the controversy
is ended.
A prominent "insurgent" stated to
day that while his faction had hoped
that the conference would cut the
laws of the church in order to admin
ister Justice, they have felt from the
start that there was little reason to
expect that this would be done.
"Every once in a while lt becomes
the function of a court to end a con
troversy even when It knows that it
cannot administer Justice. Laws can
not be changed to suit every individual
case and it is this- that we were up
against. The church has its law to
govern consolidations of churches and
lt was realized from the start that any
deviation from strict adjudication ac
cording to this law would be unlikely."

San Francisco, May J 5. (P. N. S.)
For the second time In less than a
year, Fred H. Brokaw, son of a mil
lionaire merchant of Tacoma, has In
voked the aid of moving pictures to
set him free from a prison celL.
Imprisoned in Toledo, Ohio, Brokaw
has written to his attorney here for a
copy of several scenes from the movies
which show him in San Francisco on
the day that he is now accused of a
robbery in Toledo.
Last fall. Brokaw was arrested here
on instructions from the police of
Pittsburg, who accused him of luring
a pawnbroker to his room and robbing
him.
While he was fighting extradition,
his attorney. Sydney Schleslnger,
learned that Brokaw had been caught
by the lens of a moving picture ma
chine in a downtown street of San
Francisco on the day that he was ac
cused of committing a holdup In Pitts
burg. The films were being shown ai
a Market street theatre.
When this was communicated to the
Pittsburg police, they ordered Bro
kaw'B release.
Soon afterwards he went to Toledo
and was arrested for a robbery which
was committed there on the same day
that Brokaw was photographed in the
movies here.
