PROTEST BY CHURCH
Rev. E. Jensen's Writings Get. Him
-. Into Trouble. II
UNITED CHURCH TAKES ACTION
Funds Will Be Raised for Mem ortal
Chapel for the Late Rev.
-1.. -t- G. HOyme.

J. The United Norwegian Lutheran
church of America this morning demon
strated it's faith in discipline of a severe
type. @. -. -
Rev. E. Jensen, retired minister, has
been causing trouble by his writings In
books and periodicals in which he has
attacked the late president, Rev. G.
Hoype, also the, Oldest theological pro-
fessor at the United Church seminary at
st. Anthony Park, Dr.. F. A. Schmidt.
Those whom he attacked paid no atten-
tlon. But MT. Jensen, as result, was
prevented from serving a congregation as
its pastor, though he received permission
to remain an active member of congre-
cation served by another pastor. In this
condition matters had rested for several
years.
Just after the conference between the
theological professors and officers of the
two great Norwegian Lutheran bodies,
the United Norwegian Lutheran church
and the Norwegian Lutheran synod, for
the purpose of attempting to form a
union, Mr.. Jensen again bitterly at
tackled the venerable DR.. Schmidt, who
has for forty years been a leader among
the Norwegian Lutherans in the United
States. DR.. Schmidt paid no attention
to the attack, but several clergymen we're
not inclined to excuse Mr.: Jensen.
The matter became more serious after
Mr.. Jensen wrote articles in the leading
Norwegian periodicals in which he also
criticized the late President Hoyme.
! The following motion signed by Rev.
| e. J. Homme, of Wittenberg, Wis, and
Rev. ]. 0. Hougen, of DEBORAH, Iowa. to-
day brought the case to a climax and was
| unanimously adopted:
| Whereas The former pastor, Rey I'd. Jen
| sen, Is a member of "a congregation which
belongs to the United church, the annual
meeting of the United church protests against
the indefensible writings of the Rev. Mr.
| Jensen concerning the United church, and
especially the uncalled-fo attack on Dr. Pro
fessor F. IA. Schmidt. ~ 20 2 -
In regard to the matter of building a
| suitable memorial in honor of the late
president, Rev. G. Hoyme, it was decided
| by unanimous vote to appoint commit
tee consisting Of the vice president, Rev.
N. ]. Ellestad, to receive contributions
for memorial chapel to eb built at st.
Olaf college, Northfeld, MINI, and to be
called "Hoyme Memorial Chapel The
committee will report at the next annual
meeting when plans for the building will
be adopted. - "
It was decided to appropriate $751;
for home missions.
The entire new constitution for the
| theological seminary was adopted in the
form in which it was presented BY the
committee. :.c-s.z --.S

500 DIRECTORS TO MEET
No Decision on Dividends Probable
Before Next November.

President Lowry has called special
meeting of the 500 board Of directors for
next Monday at II a. N. This meeting
will transact some Of the business sched-
uled for the meeting which was to have
beeh held on Monday last. There is much
Inquiry from the east as to the intention
of the 500 directors to take action on
dividends. 1t is not thought that divi-
dends will be seriously considered at any
meeting which may be held between now
and the annual meeting in November
The directors will undoubtedly give much
consideration to the question Of improve
ments, both present and future, and pos
sibly to extensions. 1t is understood
however, that whatever extensions the
management may have in view will not be
announced this year. Some members OF
the 500 board favor a big program of ex-
tensions for 1908, and the annual meet
ing will probably canvass this question
thoroughly.
The 500 is pushing the work on the Bis
marck extension. Rails are being hurried
in that direction and everything done to
get the 500 in good shape to participate
in the early crop movement from that
country. A trainmaster will be estab-
1ished at Bismarck, who will work under
the division superintendent at Cakes.

A TOLERANT POSITION

The United Church Defines Its At
tftude Toward Secret Orders.
Distinction is made by the United Nor
Wegian Lutheran church between secret
orders. Some come under the head of
un-Christian and will not be tolerated.
At special meeting of the confer ence
last evening the matter of the eligibility
Of members of fraterna1 orders to mem
bership in the United Church was fully
discussed. The lay delegates and the city
ministers showed a much more tolerant
spirit toward these organizations than the
ministers from the pratries and the back
woods. Eventually the following clause
section in the model constitution was
adopted by a vote Of 266 to IL

MRS. H. 0. DURKEE'S DEATH
The End Came Suddenly-Great
Shock to Friends.

Shock to Friends.
The sudden death of Mrs. Henry o. Dur
kee was shock to her many friends. She
was suffering from what supposed to be
a slight attack of indigestion and no serious
results were feared. Mrs. Durkee was a
woman of rare loveliness of life and charac
ter. AS a member of plymouth curch she
leaves a large circle of acquaintances who
felt the power of her strong consistent
Christianity. She had been an officer in the
Clio club for several years and her loss will
be felt most seriously as that of a scholarly
woman of helpful personality, while her pu-
pills at the Northwestern Conservatory Of
Music, where she had taught physical cul-
ture and elocution for the past five years,
mourn the death of an inspiring teacher and
friend. Her husband survives her. The fu-
neral services were held from Plymouth
church Tuesday afternoon.
ANNA NJ. DWAN, wife of Martin Dwan,
died Wednesday morning at the family resi-
dence S34 Fourth street NE, after a lingering
illness. Mrs. Dwan was woman of fine
character and her kindly presence VIII be
sadly missed by large circle of friends and
scquaintances. She leaves daughter, Mertie,
II months old, and her husband. Funeral

formal demand has already been made
upon Brondo Sodini and the sheriff for the

Brunius' story in brief, is that Norbeck

afternoon, displayed roll of bills and

Emerson in Minneapolis. Brunius tele-
phoned Minneapolis for description, and

New-York tribune., 1902-10-21

How yithout an amendment 10 the cOnstitu-
| ton could ne ever put IL into effect: Desert
Jefferson and adopt the Hamiltonian theory and
carry il 70 any extreme necessary TO justify gov
eTnment operation Of the mines If the govern
ment once owned them? Where is the govern
ment TO get the constitutional power to condemn
them. as TO operate them: They lie in the
commonwealth OF Pennsylvania. The United
States cannot acquire one foot Of land within
that jurisdiction for any purpose without the
consent OF the legislature OF Pennsylvania. 1t
is preposterous 10 suppose that Pennsylvania
would let the United States step in and take pos
session Of a considerable part OF its area and
administer il as federal territory. Therefore
the constitution would have 10 be changed be-
fore Pennsylvania could thus be dismembered.
For the ownership of the mines would mean
practical dismemberment since the United
States In owning them would be vested with
exclusive jurisdiction, just as in the District OF
Columbia. Moreover. the United States is un-
authorized by the constitution. even with Penn
sylvania's consent. TO own and manage mines

RUSso-TURKTSH RUMORS.

The report In a somewhat sensational Lon
don paper of the practical renewal OF the
Treaty of Unkiar Skelessi is generally discred-
tied. II is pleasant TO see that, and II is par
tIcularly pleasant TO believe that such an atti-
tude toward the rumOr IS not unjust There
are plenty OF people in more than one country
who are ready enough TO believe anything evil
of Russia, but this one evil report seems to
have found few such. That may indicate the
development Of a better feeling toward Russia,
or merely recognition OF the fact that this story
is so extravsgant as to he impossible even 10
Russia.
The treaty IN question, which was made in
1888, practically made Turkey a protectOrate
and dependency of Russia, and gave to Russia
a monopoly of the Black Sea-transforming It
into Russian lake. Even at that time such
an arrangement was so extraordinary that Ihe
other European powers refused to recognize It,,
and It had to be abandoned At the present
time It would be still more monstrous. For
the map OF Europe has been much changed in
these sixty years. In 1888 all the shores Of the
Black Sea were possessed by Russia and
Turkey, wherefore those powers had some
show of right TO claim control Of those waters
But now a third Independent power. Rumania
has a frontage upon the Black Sea, and so has
an autonomous power. Bulgaria, while the
Danube River. which debouches into IT, has
been neutralized an international highway.
In such circumstances 1t would be simply in
tolerable for Russia. or Russia and Turkey to-
gether. TO set up a claim of monopoly of the
EuXlne.
We have referred 10 the possibility that Rus
sia Is regarded with less suspicion and ami
mostly than hitherto. II is to be remembered
that, contrary TO critical expectation. Russia
has scrupulously fulfilled her engagement TO
evacuate Manchuria and 10 restore the Shan
Hai-Kwan Railroad TO China Nor is that the
only Instance OF such good faith in her his.
tory. She is doubtless as eager to advance
her own interests as Is any other country. But
her ways are not necessarily always evil
