An enjoyable informal dance.
which was attended by about 400
students and friends of Mcrrill's

school auditorium last evening.
The auditorium. transformed for

with hundreds of narrow twisted
streamers of purple and gold crepe

much credit on the teachers, Miss
Susie M. Klinzlng and Ernest A.
Dudley. and on the pupils who help-
ed' them. Purple and gold globes
were made for all the lights by Some
of the young Women of the school.
Sterling's Orchestra. furnished ex-

Meeting ,
SPRINGFIELD, Blast, May 3.—
.f Vt'hen the delegates to the Methodist
‘ Episcopal General Conference pass
into their places in the municipal
slon, today. two of the most import-
ant issues forecast for consideration
will be presented and acted upon.
These are the church's attitude to-
ward participation by the United
States in the world court and to-
ward the enforcement of the Vol-
stead act. In both a. positive stand
was adopted by unanimous vote.
The ‘" world court resolution was
adopted yesterday.
The long debated question. of the
“amusement ban" the section of the
Methodist discipline which forbids
attendance at theatres, dancing,
cards and other tmuscmcnts. is yet
to be broached in-the conference.
Other matters awaiting discussion
are the proposed unllicationet‘ the
church with the Methodist Episcopal
Church South_ and the limiting of
the tenure‘ and powers of the bi-
shops, which a. number of prelim-
inary regional conferences have
asked the general conference dele-
gates to pass upon.
The church board of education
'for ncgrors will hold its first meet-
.inl: today In connection with the
. general conference. and Bishop Mat-
thew \Y. Clair of Liberia. will speak
there on "Negro education solving
Trace problem." Other speakers will

such items as the ritual. and the
general organizations of the church
throughout the world.
They will select bishops, and cdl—
tors. and secretaries for the various
boards of the church. but above ev-
erything else they will consider 'thc

Says Goodwin Tofi'
The battle of the Mahtckeula
was fought with much firework-
terday before Judge William M.
Maltbie, setting as a referee m
Bridgeport. The question at bun
was to dissolve an injunction ob
tained by Leo J. Gouch. lessee '01
the Hotel, to prevent Harry‘ Good?
win owner from continuing the 1m
provements on the hotel block‘s
Gouch claiming that these improve-‘4
ments as carried on by Goodml
were costing him from 3% to 825“
a day by keeping patrons from tho
hotel. 7
The hearing is on again than:
and a. dccidon will be handed down:
next week.
Goucli Tesflflcd. '
Gouch, testified he had so much
trouble since he leased the total
that he didn't know “whether , hi
wasgoing or coming." He said in”
when he first consulted with Goods;
win concerning a lease. he was told" ,
the monthly rental would be $800.
a. little more than three time! tlfé
rent at that time. '
Goodwin explained the radical "in
crease. Gouch said, by stating he “1‘ .
tended to build a vaudeville on; ‘
moving picture theatre. to cost from
$80,000 to $100,000, on property fuck
rear of the hotel. which would‘5
mean greatly increased patronage off
the hotel from actors and that ha:
would. by converting a dining room *-
build from 20 to 2‘.’ additional net‘-
rooms and that he would also-7
construct a cafeteria on the ground:
floor of the hotel' in space now my

pally. These changes, however. art's
not specifically stated in the 60044

Increased Stores. -*
'Shortly after Gonch took m:
smn. he says. Goodwin etarted~other '
alterations, not those claimed to .’
have been promised for the improve-f
mum of the hotel proper and new,
stopped under injunction, but for
the purpose of increasing retell '
store facilities in the hotel block.
Coach says when he protested to‘:
Goodwin, he was told he could get"
on: if he didn’t like it for Goodwin; ‘
stated he was "fixing things up to'
suit himself and not the tenants." . ,
Among detrimental inconvenieuoei V
claimed by Gonch were great clouds” 7
of dust from torn down plastec‘
which he said drifted throughout;
the hotel, sprinkling turnishlngs and *
annoying guests. The cast and went) .
entries to the hotel lobby and desk, - i
he says. were blocked and staircases ,
torn down. Steam pipes exposed to
the weather resulted in cold rooms.
A canopy over the front of the hotel '
was removed and the front entrance
hidden by woden shoringe, the
whole tending. he claimed, to ob-
struct public view and conceal the
fact that the building was a. hotel
and open for business. Bemuee of
“settling" of floors, he said several ,2.
rooms could not be rented to guest.
From one roam, when doors were 1
jammed by settling, he said one man
had to get out of d window and
crawl to a fire escape. and that on
door had to be forced open on an. '
other occasion. ...
Questioned by counsel for the de- ,
tense. Goneh denied that he had told .
Goodwin that if he did notereee
staircases where he told him he
wanted them, he would “make hint“
all the trouble he could.” He de- .
nied as well that he had entered int'o
any “definite' 'agreement with hi1 '
own lawyer and attorneys for Good-
win. prior to the injunction being
obtained, for the acceptance or _I. .
money settlement in satisfaction of
damages he claimed.
