RECEPTION TO BISHOP SHAF.
FER.
COlumbians Turn Out to do Hon.
or to Distinguished Guest.

The reception given in honor of
Bishop G. 7. Shaffer by the citizens
of Columbia at st. Paul's Hall last
Monday evening was delightful
affair, such as would do credit to
a much larger city. 1t is to be re.
GREETED that owing to the disas,
trous floods in and about Kansas
City, the home of the Bishop, be
was compelled to leave Monday
afternoon and consequently was
not present to receive the hearty
welcome of the hospitable citizens
of Columbia, nevertheless the pro-
gram rendered was a very credita-
BILE one and the addresses made
were fitting and appropriate, to say
the least. A large delegation Of
ministers were present from neigh
boring towns who had come upon
the invitation of Rev. P. G. Crews,
pastor Of the A. M. e. church, at
whose solicitation the Bishop came
to Columbia. Presiding elder, NJ
S. Bryant, represented the Bishop
in his absence and acted as master
of ceremonies during the evening.
The hall was packed with the best
aud most representative citizens of
Columbia until standing room was
at a premium. After the follow.
ing program was rendered an ele-
CANT supper was served by the la.
dies of st. Paul church:

HOW CAPITAL WAS LOCATED.
Rare Old Book Owned by a
Jefferson City Man Con.
tanning Original Act.

Jefferson City, Mo.-Col. w. @.
Dalamayer of this city, many years
ago state Treasurer, is the owner
of rare old law book which bears
the title, Territorial Laws of
Missouri" The volume was
printed in this city in 1912 and
contains the laws of the District
of Louisiana, the Territory of
Louisiana, and a few of the acts of
early Missouri Legislatures. AT
this time, when so much interest
in the history of the Louisiana
purchase is being awakened, the
book receives an added value.
1t contains a section which shows
an act of the General Assembly
approved November l6, 1920, pro-
viding for the location of the seat of
government, naming Jonn Thorn
ton of Howard County, Robert
Cory Watson of New Madrid Coun
ty, John B. White of Pike Coun-
ry and Jesse B. Montgomery of
Boone County as the commission
to select the seat of government.
This section fixes it's location in
the following language:
"Four sections of land, belong
ing to the United States, which
shall not have been exposed to
public sale, situated on the bank
of the Missouri River, within 40
miles of the mouth of the Usage
River, if such quantity of land
within the limits aforesaid can be
found, which shall not have been
exposed to public sale, for the
permanent seat of government for
said State of Missouri, and shall
make report Of their proceedings
to the next General Assembly of
said State. The said commits.
sioners shall meet at Cote Sans
Dessein on the first Monday in
May next"

The Flood Situation.

Few people now living ever saw
the food situation so serious in
Missouri and the damage to crops
and the loss of property can hardly
be estimated. Telegraphic reports
from all sections of the country
show that the food is more general
than in 1874. At Topeka, Kansas,
hundreds of lives have been lost
and many Thousand people are
without homes, while Armourdale,
at Kansas City, is entirely inun-
dated and houses are moving down
the river like chips, and great fires
have been raging in the large ware
houses and factories. Telephone
messages from Jefferson City late
Thursday evening stated that the
water was from bluff to bluff as it
was in 1914 and the staying quail
ties of the bridge were being test
ed, the water being already far up
on the north approach. No trains
are being run in the Missouri bot
toms on the Galloway side. The
G. & A. operates fam Mexico to
the bluff and return. At McBaine,
eight miles east of Columbia the
entire town has been under water
for three days. A representative
of the Professional World visited
there Thursday and saw the most
distressing sights the houses were
two-thirds under water, all families
having moved out except those oc-
cupying the hotel, which is a two
and half story building and the
water was still rising at the rate of
one inch per hour. No trains have
run on the main line of the NJ, X.
& T. for three days and the Col
umbia branch suspended operation
Thursday as the water had covered
goodIy portion of the track.
Much stock has been reported lost.
Mr.. Pitts, who lived on an island
opposite Providence, and is one of
the most thrifty colored farmers,
lost 500 barrels of corn. The con.
dition at Roceport is reported
equally serious.

THE JEWISH
SABBATH DAY.
Commission Declined to Rec
commend That it Be
Changed to Sunday.
(By Associated Press.)

DETROIT. MICH. July 1.-The Sab.
bath question, one OF the most impor-
tant matters now before the Jewish
people, was taken UP at the forenoon
session to-day by the Central Conference
Of American Rabbis. Rabbi j. Yoor-
sanger OF San Francisco. chairman os
the Sabbath commission appointed at the
last meeting OF the conference to con-
slider all phases Of the Jewish Sabbath
and the question of changing 1t from
Sabbath to Sunday, presented the report
of the commission.
The commission, after most careful
consideration, decided that 1t had no
Jurisdiction to recommend anything IN
the nature OF legislation looking toward
any change. and declared that the confer
ence was incompetent to legislate any
fundamental Jewish institution out Of
existence.
The commission reported that defni-
ton Of the religious authority that should
regulate the authority and discipline OF
the Jews was paramount to any other
question. They recommended the cren-
ton of A national conference, composed
of rabbs and laymen. constituting An
authority to which all ritual and dlsci-
pine questions might be referred.
The commission also reported that
While historically they could not find
any argument to declare a change from
Sabbath to Sunday sohlsmatic, they would
prefer to relegate so important a ques-
ton to any mature authority properly
constituted to decide 1t.
