ing further questioned Nordlund con-
fesscd his crimes and said he had

DENERTERN WANT
STIGMA REMOVED
More Than 1000 Sailors and
Marines File Application
With Long

Washington, May 1s.-More than a
thousand veteran sailors and marines
of the civil war have filed application
10 the navy department to have re-
moved the charges Of desertion which
now stand against their names. This
action was taken in anticipation OF the
bill extending indefinitely the pro-
visions Of the act of 1888, relative TO
what are known as innocent deser-
tions," becoming law. For ten years
Judge Advocate General Lemly has
been seeking to secure this legislation,
and the bill has passed first one house
and then the other, but only Wednes-
day succeeded in passing bOSh in one
session. II now goes 10 the president.
No one knows how many veterans are
affected by this act At the close OF
the civil war sailors and marines num-
bering many thousands reported at
Philadelphia to be mustered out. The
receiving ships did not afford accom-
mOdatiOns formore than a small frac-
ton OF them. and after waiting many
days for the mastering out officer, be-
ing told that they we're not wanted. the
men drifted off 10 their homes through
out the country and returned to civil
life. Technically every one OF these
men was a deserter, and the act is in
tended to remove that stigma

Chicago, May 1S.-Dr. William ".
Kelley, Of the East New York confer
ence. a leading candidate for bishop,
withdrew from the race yesterday. His
withdrawal gave rise to a report of q
combination between DR.. Spellmeyer
and DR.. Berry. According TO the story
told the plan Is to elect the former as
the eastern representative and the lat
ter from the west. IL is said the Kel-
ley vote will go to Dr. Spellmeyer, to-
gether with a sufficient number Of Dr.
Berry's friends to elect the minister
from New Jersey. After this is ac-
complished the Spellmeyer, Kelley and
Berry forces will unite TO elect the lat
ter. The rumOr OF this powerful COM
bination caused alarm among the other
candidates, who talked of uniting the
field against them.
In the interest of economy the com
mittee on Book Concern yesterday de-
cided to recommend the consolidation
of three church papers and the removal
of the Book Depository now located
at St. Louis to Kansas CITY. Tho
periodicals will be consolidated under
the name of the Central Advocate and
published at Kansas City II the gen
eral conference concurs in the commit
tees recommendation. The large book
concern established In st. Louis more
than quarter Of a century ago will be
transferred to Kansas City as a matter
of business expediency. The three pa
pers have been operated at a loss for a
number of years.
