NEW YORK.—William T.
Andrews, member of the New
York State legislature, has
been retained to represent the
Rev. I). Ward Nichols in a
$.10,000 slander suit brought
against him by the Kev. Sam-
uel (iambs.
The suit, affording to
friends jf the Rev. Nichols, Is
the outgrowth of a feud exist-
ing between them for some-
time. The Rev. Gumbs was
defeated as a delegate to the
General Conference by the
Rev. Nichols, and was also
stripped of his presiding elder-
ship and sent to a small mis-
sion.
The Rev. Nichols, who Is
entertaining the general ron-
fcrrnee. Is a candidate for the
bishopric.

(Far The Associated Ifeirro Press)
NEW YORK.—Transcending even
the election of blshops^-ln which
was elevated to the bishopric—
and other church officers, was
the bitter fight between Ira T.
Bryant, fiery secretary of the A.
M. E. Sunday School Union, and
the bishops of the denomination
which led to his onsting and the
election of E. A. Shelby of Ala-
bama to take his place late SatiV?-
day evening after long hours of
continuous balloting.
Tilt eutlrc general conference In
session here at Rockland palace
was overshadowed by this fight
between Bryant and the group of
bishops who, for several qunrren-
niunis, have sought to remove him
from office. The election took
place around 9:00 p. m„ Saturday,
and, as word spread quickly that
election for Ills office was coming
up, many delegates who had been
absent returned In time to answer
the roll call.
Partisanship was Intense. The
Rryant opposition succeeded In re-
moving all other contenders and
concentrating on Professor Shelby.
The Alabaman won, 403 to 303
chiefly because Bryant had over-
played his hand on two points. In
one scathing release he referred
to Geortfa ministers as "Southern
Jackasses," and resorted to the
Sunday School literature as a
means of furthering bis attack up-
on the bishops and certain geuer-

^clty rumors and insinuations
liade by other misinformed or un-
informed people, the sum total of
frhlcli has resulted in wide-spread
Impressions that the Federal Ne-
gro Advisory Committee has been
responsible for not employing cer-
tain people in connectloa with
whose employment the committee
had no official Jurisdiction. In or-
der that the latitude of the Com-
mittee might be firmly and finally
and permanently and clearly es-
tablished, we quote below the rul-
ing of the United States Assistant
Comptroller General)
"The participation by the
United States government Is to
be confined to exhibits of ar-
ticles, materials, documents,
and papers, connected, with,
and illustrative of, the func-
tions of the Federal Govern-
ment. I do not And anywhere
in Hie resolution authority for
the use of the Federal funds to
employ and exhibit pageants of
living persons, choruses, or
ether eutertainers such as con-
templated by your submission
Accordingly, your three ques-
tions mast be, and are, an-
swered In the negative."
The above ruling Is self-ex-
planatory, and is so clear in,Its
description of the limitations of
the Advisory Committee that a
oiild could understand. This rul-
ing was provoked ay an applica-
tion on the part of the Committee
for the privilege of employing ar-
tists, musicians and entertalnlners
and giving honorarium to dls-
tingushed speakers whom It wish-
ed for programs during the life
of (he Exposition. I might add,
parenthetically, that among the
artists that the committee had
agreed to bring to Dallas, and
those with whom It had entered
Into negotiations were Etta Moten
who is, at present, in South Amer-
ica, and Jules Bledsoe, who is in
Europe.

tion a little more graphically, I
