A ht-aring upon the petition in er- ror has berti set for June 20 at J Butte, and it is supposed that this" will act as a stay of execution and give Simmons at least another month's lease on life. Word of action of Simmons' at torneys today only readied the attor ney general a short time before his office closed this evening. At the penitentiary Simmons was said to be in the best of health and spurts, ami awaiting the day of his doom with perfect composure.

May S. Earthquake swept Tokio with its more than two millions of population today resem bles a huge, mining town such as sprung up over night in western America following the discovery of gold, according to Dr. Rudolph Taus ler. director of St. Luke's Interna tional Hospital, who is paying a brief visit to the United States. "Pending formulation of official reconstruction plans." said Dr. Teus ler today, "a congeries of woo! n structures has spread out over the devastated district, with seemingly no definite aim as to scope or plan. Homes and business houses have been thrown together with whatever ma terial was at hand, pine timber, cor rugated iron, various sorts of pat ent boards, windows with silk or muslin instead of glass. One who views the city from the hills, sees on all sides as far as the eye can reach a sight precisely like one of our own boom towns of the old days. There is bustle and activity everywhere, and plans of all kinds for a new and beautiful Tokio if these plans were only given definite shape and the en erotic Japanese were permitted to go forward." Replying to a question as to whether it is safe to rebuild. Dr. Teusier said: "It is perfectly safe if the rebuilding is done with reference to the lessons taught by the earth quake. I don't think I exasperate when I say that mere than 60 of the total damage in Tokio last Sep- Springfield, Mass.. May S. Impas sioned pleas for the full admission of women to the pastorate of the Metl:odist Episcopal church were made at the general conference to-, day. After long discussion it was voted to let the matter go over till, tomorrow, when it will be made an! order of the day. i Most of the argument was over: a proposed amendment to a report! brought in by the commission on the' ordination of women and their ad mission to annual conferences. The report recommended that the limita-; tion of women to the so-called local ! pastorates be continued; the amend-! ment. put forward by Mrs. S. F. Johnson of California, omitted the, word "local." i The arguments presented for the! commission's report were that mar-j riage and motherhood would inter-1 fere with the proper performance of pastorate duties, that the church as a whole was indifferent to the matter at isue. that the experiment of wom en p:istors in other churches had had as yet but fragmentary results and that "embarrassing situations would be created by full inordination. These who supported the amend ment, finally laid on the table, de clared that women had earned an equal place with men in every de partment of activity, and that the church should join other professions in giving women equality. A denial of conflict between sci ence and religion "when rightly un derstood was made on a petition in troduced by John M. Walker of In diana, and referred to a committee. A resolution by John J. Cornelius of Lucknow. Ind.. proposed that the conference refuse to recognize as rail 1 in church or state any discrim ination on the basis of race or color or the right of any government to conquer or exploit any other people or race. The preamble declared that "the treatment of colored people in all parts of the world by Christian nations constitutes a direct challenge to the teachings and ethics of Jesus." The resolution was referred to a comrr. ittee. The hoard of bishops made a spe cial report of what they said was an alarming situation in church fin ances and their request for a special Invest! ga tins committee of fifteen, five to be bishops, was passed by the conference.

It was only a few weeks af ter the earthquake that Viscount Goto, minister of home affairs, urg ently requested the immediate re building of St. Luke's and when re cently asked if St. Luke's would in any way compete with Japanese hos pitals, the Viscount replied: 'Not at all.
