DIR. JOYCE APPROVES
The Bishop Says Morningside Col
lege Authorities Did Right in
SURPRISING 'Belshazzar.'''
It Was Clearly in Conflict With a
Rule in the Church H.
Discipline.

Chivalrous esteem for feminine love-
liness and a devout regard for the discip-
line of the church are mingled in the
views OF Bishop Isaac w: Joyce upon the
reported action of the Morningside Meth
odist college at Sioux City, Iowa, and the
ministers Of the northwest Iowa confer
ence, in forbidding second performance,
at the college, of "Belshazzar, Sacred
Cantata." ..s-
Inc pastors present, says a press tele-
granG~received two. distinct shocks. The
first was when the boy and girl students
who were taking part in the f1rst-and
possibly the only-performance of the can
tata, raised to their smiling lips goblets
Of golden wood and pretended not to spill
the Euphrates Extra Dry while holding
their goblets upside down.
The second tremor developed when a
parti- colored group "entered right" and
the calcium uncovered the dimples Of the
Methodist girls arms and the flush upon
their tender toes. For 10, Belshazzar
had commanded to bring the golden and
silver vessels which his father Nebuchad-
nezzar had taken out of the temple, that
the king, his princes, and his wives might
drink therein" And the ladies' of course
were back-to- date. Their arms were
yelled in Vaseline and French chalk and
their feet were shod with precious glass
and bronzed leather sandals =
Il don't know anything Of the facts in
this case" said Bishop Joyce to-day. II
never heard of it before. But assuming
that the facts are exactly as stated,
should say that no Methodist college would
permit say would, not could-would
permit a repetition of the performance.
1t is contrary to the discipline of the
church, which forbids Methodists from
ATTENDING circuses or theatrical perform
ances.". ,.,.-.:
I'm. sure if I was president of a COL
lege, l would not permit such perform
ance." ..r
Would you object to the costuming,
to the pretended drinking, or to the fact
that the sacred cantata might be consid-
cred theatrical?"
Il don't know. I'm not college presi-
dent, and, besides, I am not aware of
the facts as they were actually presented
at Sioux City. The president of Morn
ingside college is friend Of mine, and I
may learn more from him.
But assuming, as I said, that the pub
lished statement is correct repeat that
I would not allow such a performance,
were I in charge of the college, and no
Methodist college would permit It, I feel
sure"
The bishop could not be induced to
specify his objections by indicating
whether the astral wine, the wooden COB
lets, the white shoulders, or the pink
feet chiefly operated to deprive the can
tata of its sacred character.

REPLY TO THE COURT
Mr.. and Mrs. Price Write Letters to
Throw Light on Recent d.

Throw Light on Recent d.
vorce Case.
Minnie M. Price and William L. Price,
whose names appeared in the papers a few
days ago in connection with Judge J. F.
McGee's disposal Of divorce proceedings,
begun by Mrs. Price, have made public
letters inteded by them to throw light
upon the case.
Mrs. Price explains that her husband
deserted her without what she believed to
be just cause. but did not turn her
adrift without penny as would appear
from previous reports of the case. On the
contrary, she says he gave her all he had:
home, household furniture. $500 for their
daughter, and each week from the time
he left until the divorce proceedings were
begun, assuming at the same time mort
gage of $500 on the home.
Mr.. Price takes the court to task for
it's comments upon the case, saying that
it was the courts sole duty Of desertion
were proved as charged, to grant di-
vorce in accordance with the law. He
grows rather caustic and quotes Bacons
essay, "Judicature,'' to clinch his point
that the judge went beyond his duty in
his comments. :.-r IT. 49,

every few residents of Washing

such n manner as to be regarded as
positively ludicrous by those accus-

methods" remarked well-known
Washingtonian to a Star reporter.
81 had occasion to visit some friends
who own a suburban home to the
north of the city n few evenings
ago. Having received explicit in
structions as to how to reach their
place, l bravely started forth. Upon
reaching the terminus Of one of the
big railways that extends out from
the city 1 alighted according to di-
rections and made my way to dim
ly-lighted car that stood on n near
by track. There were quite n num-
Der of other passengers and 1 dis
covered no cause for unusual COM
ment until just prior to the sched-
uled hour for starting. Carefully
closing the doors the one individ-
ual in uniform to be seen anywhere
around proceeded to collect fares.
When he had registered the same he
proceeded to the front platform and
the car began to move. Then it was
that I realized that the conductor
was also the motorman.
"As additional passengers were
gathered up along the route the
solitary employee would allow the car
to run itself while he walked back
to receive the cost Of riding from
the latest to take passage. The ex-
perience was q novel one for me.
II was told by my suburban friend
that the road operates only one car
and has but the one employee I have
referred to. The motive power is
secured from the city line over which
I rode out. After the last trip at
night, the conductor-motorman
passes a chain through the wheels
and joins the ends with a paddock,
places the key In his pocket, and,
leaving the car on the track exposed
to the weather, trudges home. In
the morning he unfastens the chain
and resumes business. According to
my friend the car Is always on time,
and furthermore the stockholders
regularly receive dividend of six
per cent. But, It was told me, the
car never receives coat Of paint,
and repairs to the rolling stock and
