THE GOUEIEE-JOUENAL, LOUISVILLE, SATURDAY MORNING, MAY 14, 1904. SUCCESSOR TO AUDITORIUM PLANNED BY LOCAL MEN Andrew Isgrigg's Body In Midstream. Of Heresy the Absorbing Propose To Erect a Theater That Will Accommodate a Topic At Los Angeles Large Crowd To Form Stock Company. CHARGES THEMiSNOSSSm lected, but several are In view. It Is LAST OF THE THREE VICTIMS IN METHOBIST CONFERENCE.

Definite plans for a new structure to replace the Auditorium are on foot, and a meeting of the men who are to furnish the money for the theater will be held within the next week. James B. Camp, who is behind the plan, yesterday received-designs for the building and a colored view of the front, prepared by Brinton B. Davis, who is the architect The building as planned will cost about $30,000, and will be built in the central portion of the city, probably within the next six months. The present idea is to have it com expected that the site will cost making the total cost about $60,000.

The plans drawn by Mr. Davis are for a theater which will be on the gen eral plan of the old Auditorium, with many Improvements and additions. The seating capacity of the house will be almost 3,000 and the stage win be the largest In Louisville, measuring 50x 79 feet. Only one balcony will be placed in the theater, but the structure will be much higher than the old Audi- torium. Two stores will occupy the front of the building.

A novelty for this part of the country will be a large pipe organ, which will be located in the place usually given over to boxes. The organ will be a fine one, of the kind used in churches, and will be used in the theater for large musical attractions and for religious services. The old Auditorium, which was the only theater or hall In Louisville in which a large opera or musical attraction could be given, will "be torn down wtthtn the next, sixty days, and the cltv will then have no place in which to hold a convention or large theatrical production.

DEBATE ON: RETIRING BISHOPS Los Angeles, May 13. The Methodist General Conference after the conclusion of devotional servicesv resumed consideration of the revision of the rules of order. The work of formu lating the official rules of order have been fraught with many clashes between the opposing parliamentary lead ers on the floor, of the conference who sought to secure "the adoption of rules that would tend to give their particular faction an advantage in the work of legislation. The general body, however, has been watchful and the rules as finally adopted! have been framed witn a view or absolute equity ana fairness. The report of Missionary Bishop F.

W. Warns, of Indiana, was the special order of the day immediately after the morning reces3. The charges of heresy made by Dr. Munhall and others against the Garrett Biblical Institute and the Boston School of Theology continue to occupy the attention of the members of the Committee on Education and to be tat absorbing topic amoiK the conference delegates. The subcommittee of five having in charge the investigation of this Important matter nas made a re port to the full committee, but the attacks of Dr.

Mtmhall and other sup porters of heresy charges were so spir ited that the committee voted not to accept the report, but to resubmit it with instructions to give the matter more careful and thorough, consideration. The report of the subcommittee stated that there were only eight mem orials before them on- the subject, only four purporting to come from annual conferences: that three of these mem orials had been signed by a total of thirty-five persons, and that two of them were in the form of a printed circular. "This," the report said, "seems to be the total result of an- effort to stir up the conferences of the country on the subject." After a lengthy and somewhat acrid debate, in which the report was characterized by Dr. Munhall and his fol lowers as an attempt to whitewash the accused institutions, the report of the subcommittee was finally referred back with instructions for a more extended Inquiry. Betiring Bishops.

The first taste of stlrrinsr debate par ticipated in by the conspicuous figures of the conference was given the dele gates when the report of the Episcopacy Committee upon the matter of retiring bishops and nxing their subsequent relations to the church was taken up. The paragraph that provoked discussions reads as follows: A superannuated general superintendent is relieved from the obligation to travel through his connection at large, and may enoose 'tne Place or his residence, iie shall not be to the presidency of annual confferences, nor make appointments, but, if requested by a bishop presiding, he may take tho -chair temporarily in a general or annual conference, and at the request of the bishop presiding In the annual conference he may ordain can-ddda-tes' previously elected to orders. Dr. A. B.

Leonard offered an amendment to strike out all after the word "residence" and substitute "he may perform temporarily, upon invitaition of a general superintendent any function that belongs to a general su-perinteno ent except make appointments." This amendment was supported by Judges Lchr and Warnock, lay dele gates, and Ijrs. B. Leonard and Lyt-tie. Two speeches only were made in fa vor of the adoption of the report as presented by Dr. Buckley, president of the Episcopacy Committee.

They were by Dr. J. M. Buckley and Dr. T.

B. Neeley. While at first there seemed to be a strong sentiment in favor of Dr. Leonard report when Dr. Buck ley finished a ten minutes' speech in favor of the adoption of the committee's report the vote was practically unani mous in favor or its adoption.

The Rev. A. G. Kynett, of Philadelphia, presented a report on church ex tension which contained a change of great importance to the more wealthy congregations. It takes away the right of the board of church extension to assist churches costing more than 000, nut gives the board the right to make especial recommendations in cer tain cases.

This change was adopted by the conference. EJECTED. THE WILD OF WILLIAM HfGRAM PBOVES George Bercaw In Terror of ExecutionVerdict For tie Plaintiffs.

The story of the devotion of this woman was told yesterday by George Sehon, secretary of the Kentucky Children's Home Finding Society. "In one of the smaller mountain towns, about two years ago," Mr. Sehon said, "we were given a child, a pretty little girl, about two years old, and we were told that the mother was Insane and not able to care for her properly.

We took the child, and had no trouble in placing her with a wealthy family in the central portion of the State. The mother was tried by a court and found to be Insane. She was sent to the asylum at Lakeland, and I saw her there frequently. She did not seem to be insane, and showed tender affection for her child, asking about her at all times. I was told by Dr.

Furnish that the woman was not Insane, and later she was released. "She knew where her child was, and with my assistance went to see the little girl. The family who were rearing the child met the mother at the depot with a carriage and took her to the house, where they entertained her as an honored guest for several days.
