CRlTICISE METHODIST CHURCH
Committeeman Smith Asserts II is
Biggest Stumbling Block in Way
of Iowa Prohibitionists.

CHICAGO, Dec 13.-The prohibition ma
tiona convention will be held in Chicago on
June 27 OF next year. This was decided on
at the meeting today of the national COM
mittee OF the prohibition party, held at the
Palmer house, at which twenty-siX national
committeeman were present representing
sixteen states The contest for the conven-
tion was quite spirited one, South B md
Ind, Indianapolis and Columbus, o., send
ing representatives to urge the advantages OF
those cities as convention points, but after
lengthy debate the offer of Chicago proh-
btionsts to pay all the expenses of the con-
vention, provide a hall with comfortable
seating capacity OF over 10000 and secure
reduced railroad rates was accepted.
1t was the plan to hold the convention in
the Coliseum now being erected on the site
of the old Libby prison. The resignation of
National Chairman Samuel Dickie of Micht-
gan was accepted by the committee after
considerable discussion and o. w. Stewart,
chairman of the Illinois state committee,
elected to the position. National Secretary
W. T. Wardwell also rendered his resigra-
ton, but the committee refused to accept it..
Some sharp debate took place while the
questions of the time and place or holding
the national convention were being dis
cussed. In presenting the claims of Colum-
bus. Committeeman Danner of Ohio strongly
condemned the Anti-Saloon league Of that
state, claiming it had done much to retard
and injure the prohibition cause in Ohio,
Committeeman Carskadon of West Vir-
gina and Committeeman Smith of Iowa
criticised President Mckinley and the Me h
odist church Committeeman Smith as
serted the Methodist church was the biggest
IL la tyaNy IF hp r1hf n
tion movement in Iowa.
It was reported before the meeting Of the
committee that the question Of excluding
women delegates to the national convention
would be taken up. The question was not
touched on, however, the sentiment of the
committeeman apparently being against any
action at the present time.
The national committeeman present were:
O. w. Stewart and Hale johnson, Illinois;
F. T. McWhirter and Charles Eckhart, Ind
ana: w. L. Ferris and Malcolm Smith, Iowa;
f. E. Britton, Michigan; b. B, Haugan and
w. ]. Dean, Minnesota; C. e. Stokes and
II. p. Faris, Missouri; w. T, Wardwell and
r. E. Baldwin, New York; A. A. Stevens and
C. r. Jones, Pennsylvania; Fl. B. Metca'f
and J. G. Wooley, Rhode Island; j. A. Tate

SOME BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS.
Case of Ingram of Mount Ayr Proves
to lie n Bad One.

Case of Ingram of Mount Ayr Proves
to lie Bad One.
In the proceedings brought in the United
States district court here by a number OF
the creditors OF Adalaska o. Ingram of
Mount Ayr, Judge Shiras has issued an cr-
der adjudging Ingram a bankrupt Ingram
filed waiver of his rights admitting his in
solvency and consented to the adjudication.
Judge Shiras has also directed S. S. Eth
ridge of Des Moines to take possession OF
the property as referee in bankruptcy and
to arrange for its immediate sale.
Referee Ethridge has advertised the prop
erty of the Mount Ayr store to be sold Sat-
urday at Mount Ayr. The stocks OF the
stores at Allendale, Mo-, and Shannon City,
Ia, are tied up in the attachment and in
junction proceedings commenced a week or
so ago by a number OF the creditors These
stocks, it is charged, were transferred bv
Ingram to create a preference as to credi-
tors and steps have been taken to have these
transfers set aside. The hearing on the
motion to set aside these transfers will be
held before Judge Shiras in Des Moines on
January 10, when 1t is said there will be a
number of sensational developments. There
is big discrepancy between the list of In
grams liabilities as taken from his books
and the claims OF his creditors. According
to the statement made by Receiver Ethridge,
compiled from Ingram's books, he is shown
as owing $63,617, while the claims filed by
his creditors aggregate in the neighborhood
Of 100000. This discrepancy has occasioned
considerable comment among the creditors
and has led to charges that Ingram has not
kept his books up to date.
The inventory of the stock at the Mount
Ayr store will figure about $50 O0O not more
than 25 cents on the dollar for the credi-
tors. The stocks at Allendale and Shannon
City it is expected will invoice about an
other 100000, which will give the creditors
about so cents on the dollar in all, provided
the transfers are set aside by Judge Shras
Among Migrants creditors are several Omaha
firms.
Three voluntary petitions in bankruptcy
were filed in the United States district court
here yesterday. Allen Latimer Wilson, n
stock dealer Of Creston, asks to be relieved
Of liabilities aggregating $15,460. He ad-
mts to owning assets valued at $780, but
claims they are exempt under the law. In
his petition he sets UP that the greater part
OF his debts consists of partnership notes
with one Isaac Kurtz and notes for bor-
rowed money.
Gustavus Adair Raymond, who states he
is physician and surgeon residing in Coun-
ell Bluffs, schedules his liabilities at s4O4,
with assets worth $685. all of which he ella ms
as exempt.
Barnett Lensey Jones, a merchant Of Car
bon, Adams county, has liabilities amount
ing to $13.667, but the chance for his credi-
tors receiving much is very slim, as his as
sets only amount to $500, and these be claims
as exempt.

Danger ut Crossings VIII soon he
Considerably Minimized.
The recent decision Of the supreme court,
in which it was held that Seventh street
between Thirteenth and Fourteenth ave-
nues belonged to the city, has necessitated
the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific rail-
way in making some changes in the ar
rangements of it's yards and tracks. The
freight depot which now stands on the east
side of Seventh and Sixteenth avenue will
be moved to the west side of Sixth street
and number of the tracks which now
cross Seventh and Sixth streets will be torn
up so that the public can have the full ben
eft of these thoroughfares. AS soon as
the changes contemplated are carried out
there will be only four tracks crossing Sixth
street instead of the network of rails as
at present. OF these four tracks, two will
be the main line and two team" tracks
to the derrick, where they handle heavy
freight, just east Of the crossing.
The two freight house tracks will be
stubbed at Sixth street so as not to cross
that thoroughfare and the switches at
present across Sixth street will be torn up
and done away with. There will be no
swift hes on either the freight house or
team" tracks east of Eighth street No
switching will be done across either Sixth
or Seventh streets and as little as possible
across Eighth street when the rearrange-
ment of the tracks ie carried out 1t is in
tended that all trains hereafter for the
freight house and team" tracks will be
made up in the yards and pushed down to
the freight house. fagman will be sta
toned at the Eighth street crossing, in
compliance with the order of the city coun-
ell issued last Monday night
The work of rearrauging the tracks and
moving the freight depot will be carried out
with little delay as possible. 1t ie pos
sible that the company may build brick
freight depot to replace the present frame
structure.
