GENERAL LUTHERAN SYNOD
Board of Publications Makes n Favor
able Report of Operations
of the Year.

YORK, Pa, May 30.-The regular order OF
business on the opening of the general
Lutheran synod today was consideration of
the report of the Board Of Publication.
Rev. S. A. Holahan corresponding secre-
tary of the board, read the report, an alb
stract OF which follows:
Since the last biennial report the sum Of
81 600 has been paid to the treasurer of the
board and society. Owing to the necessary
outlay in preparing plates for various pub
locations the boards contribution to the
treasury of the society was not so large as
in former biennals The net assets are
S133 ,321 &c, including the amount paid on
the new publication house and printing
plant, $55, ,923.02, and the Rung legacy, s13,
S55S3. Royalties on books OF worship,
catechisms, lithurgies, Augsberg songs, etc,
to the amount of $1,45403 have been col
lected; donated according to resolution as
extra discount on periodicals published by
the board to Sunday schools under the care
of the Board of Home missions, $2,77O;
charged off and deducted from the cost Of
stereotype plates, $1,027; charged off for
wear and tear of store and board room fix
lures, 1920; charged to profit and loss for
doubtful accounts. s6O1 total, $6,173 The
saving in royalties and donations to Sunday
schools is a clear gain which the church
has made by patronizing it's own publication
house.
The event of the synod occurred when
the venerable DR.. J. A. Sess of Philadelphia
appeared before the synod the fraternal
delegate from the general council of the
Lutheran church Of North America. 1t was
DR.. Seiss who, thirty-five years ago, led the
Pennsylvania synod delegation out of the
convention at Fort Wayne. This resulted
in the organization of the general council.
His presence was the occasion of a cordial
welcome and frequent applause. Consider
able significance is attached to the cordial
manner in which the synod received his
sentiments. President Breckenridge re-
sponded on behalf of the synod
The first half hour of the afternoon was
devoted to exercises appropriate to Me-
mortal day. Major Evolerath of Bucyrus,
O., and Rev. Dr. H. w. Hufford Of Reading,
Pa, were the speakers for the occasion.
Discussion Of the report of the board of
publication followed the memorial addresses.

Jury Fails to Agree.

After being out since s o'clock Monday
evening the jury before which W p. Cowan,
the Omaha attorney charged with suborna-
tion OF perjury was tried, having failed to
arrive at a verdict, was discharged at 10
o'clock yesterday morning by Judge Smith.
The foreman informed the court that there
appeared to be absolutely no prospect of an
agreement. 1t is understood that the jury
was equally divided six being for conyic-
tion and six for acquittal, County Attorney
Kilpack, 1t is believed, will not ask for an
other trial at this term OF court as there
are number of criminal cases yet to be dis
posed of.

STORMS DAMAGE IOWA CROPS
Poor Progress is Being Made in the Planting
of Corn.
aEPLANTING NECESSARY IN MANY CASES
Mental Condition of state Labor Com-
missioner O'Blenncss Promises to
Develop n Small Sized
Sensation.
NECESSARY IN MANY CASES

DES MONIES, May 30.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-The weekly bulletin issued by the
Iowa weather and crop service today sum-
marizes crop conditions as follows: The
first three days of the week were slightly
cooler than usual and generally fair. The
last three days brought much higher tenn
perature and showery conditions, which de-
veloped severe storms of rain, hail and wind
in numerous localities on May "a and 2S.
Considerable local damage resulted from
effects Of hail and floods. The corn and
wheat district reports received by wire show
the following excessive amounts of rainfall
at the stations named Cedar Rapids, 4.S7
inches; Clinton, Abs; Hampton, 1892; Ogden,
S.93; Waterloo, 3,79; Marshalltown, AL;
Forest City. 4S6; Iowa City, 2.55. The
heaviest storms Of the week swept through
the central and northern sections of the
state.
Some progress has been made in planting
corn in districts where the soil was euffi-
ciently dry. In considerable portions of the
northern section the work is practically
completed, though some will need replant-
ing. For the state at large 1t is estimated
that about three e-fourths of the corn area
has been planted but the condition of the
stand secured in the early planted fields
will necessitate more than the usual amount
of replanting. Under existing circumstances
1t is probable that the planting of portions
will not be completed in all districts before
June 10. Experience in past years proves
that with the soil in good condition and
with thorough cultivation a fair yield of
corn may be secured from good seed planted
at that date.
Grass and grain crops are generally doing
very well.
Sensation Mt the State House.
There is a sensation on foot at the state
house, which it is believed will culminate in
the resignation of State Labor Commissioner
O'Blenness. O'Blenness has been unable to
attend to the duties of his office for some
time and has not been at the Office since
about April l. He was operated upon a
short time ago. 1t was said that the opera
tion disclosed the existence of an abnormal
growth on the underside of the skull, which,
pressing it upon the brain, produced tenn
porary suspension of the mental functions,
causing intermittent alterations. O'Blen-
ness claims to have received the injury
from bicycle something over year ago.
At times he has been at the Office and ap-
parently suffering no pain, but lately he
had on different occasions wandered away
from home and been found in an uncon-
scious condition. 1t is also stated that
OBlenness, during the time he suffered
from his injury and was in a condition of
responsibility, had overcharged the state
in his expense accounts; that hotel bills
have been charged for stops at different
places over the state when in fact O'Blen-
ness was at his home in Des Moines.
