Bishop W. F. Adams, Allegany Corporation Must Pay-Tax On The Stoclt Of Non-Resi-denti To The County. i Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Ccmbkblanb, Dec.

28. Judge Mar- i tin L. Keedy today filed his first Important opinion. It pertained to the suit of the George's Creek and Barton Coal Company gainst the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore. The plaintiff operates in this county and the suit was to have the court decide where the taxes on the company's capital stock were to be paid.

Baltimore city" and Baltimore county, on one side, and Allegany county on the other claimed the taxes under the law passed in 1900. Robert B. Henderson, as attorney for the coal company, filed a bill of Interpleader stating that the company did not know which to pay and asked the court to determine. Judge Keedy decided that the taxes must I be paid to Allegany county. The real question Involved was whether corporations In Allegany county should pay taxes on stock neld by non-residents of the county to Al- legany county or the city and county in vhich they reside.

The decision means that about a year taxes will go to Allegany county which otherwise would have gone to Baltimore city and Baltimore county. Messrs. Ritchie and W. Cabell Bruce were attorneys for Baltimore city and Albert A. Doub and Benjamin Richmond for Allegany county.

The members of the lack-Sheridan-Wilson Company, the main fcwners of the plaintiff company In the suit, Ciostly reside in Baltimore. The decision Is very wide la Its scope and is taken to mean that all corporations of Allegany county Incorporated under the general law or doing business in this county must pay the taxes to this county. While the law passed in 1900, it Is not believed that Allegany county can recover any taxes paid to Baltimore city between that time and April, 1903, on the ground that the county cannot recover on an assessment that has not been made. It Is said that some of the h'lg corporations have not paid any taxes at all since the passage of the present act. Allegany county recovers om the April assessment of 1903 under the decision.

The case goes to the Court of Appeals. BALL IN SALISBURY Handsome Entertainment By Mr And Mrs. F. M. Dick, Of IV err York.

New York, Dec.

28. The Monday meeting of Methodist ministers, held today, was attended by 200 clergymen of this city and the suburbs. There was a discussion over the proposed elimination from the rules of discipline of Section 248, which forbids card playing, dancing and attendance at theatres of members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. This question is to be taken up at the General Conference, which will be held at Los Angeles, In May, 1904. The present discussion here began two weeks ago, when Rev.

J. A. Hensey, pastor of Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church, In Paterson, advocated the repeal of the section which is now under fire. He declared that such a prohibition was contrary to the spirit of the times. He also asserted that It was not enforced and never would be.

Rev. Daniel Halleron, of Newark, today took a stand diametrlcaly opposed to the attitude of the Rev. Mr. Hensey. He said in part: -A'The section of the rules of discipline which forbids dancing, card playing and theatre going has been In force 31 years, and since its adoption Methodism has made a greater advance In every way, in culture, in benevolence and in educational movements, than in the century preceding that date.

If this upholding of the law seems evil to certain ministers, it were, better that we discarded, the ministers. "If these amusements were indulged in, would the church be any more efficient than it is at present? Would it have a larger membership? What we want is quality, not quantity. cross-bearing to be banished from church life? -'Are not self-denial and self-abnegation to be especially commended? "Indulgent church life has always een a failure, when Methodism abandons self-denial and courts favor from the applause of pleastfre-loving persons she will be left forlorn on a tideless beach and will rust under every suu, to become a byword and a hissing to mankind and an inexpressible sorrow to (her Lord. But, true to her glorious abnegation, she is in the dawn of a period of great victory. To do anything other than uphold this section is un-Meth-odist and un-Christian." The reply of Rev.

Mr. Halleron to the proposal of Rev. Mr. Hensey to wipe out the paragraph iu question precipitated the hottest kind of a debate, In which apparently all of the 200 clergymen present took part. Rev.

Dr. J. Wesley Johnson was the chief supporter of Mr. Hensey. He declared that the paragraph was not only objectionable, but Illegal.

His contention was upheld apparently by two-thirds of those present. Rev. Dr. A. B.

Leonard, senior secretary of the Methodist Missionary Society, stoutly advocated the-utility of the contested section. GOULD ROAD CUT THE RATES May I lave Tilt With Harriman Line Over Texas Rice. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. New York, Dec. 28.

Gould Interests say that they will protect the Texas Interests by preventing the greater part of the rice products from being shipped toNew Orleans and away from the Texas mills. GROWERS VS. RAILROADS Interstate Commerce Commission Hears Case Against Coast Line. Boston, Dec. 28.
