near by, and all the other occupants of
the building in the block :. bounded by
Twenty sixth and Twenty seventh streets,
Broadway and Fifth avenue, were fright

In an apartment house at Twenty sixth
street and Fifth avenue. there was the
greatest excitement, partly due to another
fire scare there recently, and the tenants
rushed for the elevators. .~> \
In the Victoria hotel annex there were
many actors and actresses "iho crowded
out on the fire escapes until assured there
was no danger. and in other buildings

IT'S HARD TO AGREE
Separation Of Swedish and Norwe.
gian Consular Services a DIFF
ficult Task.
Norwegian Lutheran Synod Soon to
Celebrate It's Semicentennial
at Decorah.

L The Swedish Norwegian commission
which is working out a plan for an IN
dependent consular service for each coun-
try, has struck a hard knot. The com
mission has agreed on a separation OF
the consular service and also that the
relation of these services shall be ordered
by parallel laws, which cannot be al
tered or repealed without the approval
Of both governments. l
1s: But regarding the terms OF these laws
it is impossible to agree. The SWedlsh
commissioners concede that the present
system is not in accord with Norway
demand for equality IN the union. They
are willing to recommend that the act OF
union be amended SO that either 9 Swed-
| ish or Norwegian can be named as for
eign minister and that he shall be re-
.sponsible to the supreme legislative body
of both countries. .s..- /,
| From the Norwegian side; there seems
| to be an unwillingness to proceed along
these lines for fear the agreement will be
considered binding. The Norwegians are
not ready to consider the matter relating
to the foreign minister and the diplo-
mats. While nothing has been said in ex-
press terms it is apparent that Norway
in the near future will begin a campaign
for the separation Of the diplomatic serv-
ice and win demand the creation of hel
own foreign office. The papers such az

tain the negotiations are not ended By

The indications are that in view Of thu
determined attitude Of Norway, the tw'
countries will ratify a report OF the com
mission relating solely to the consula
question. " = %'s=* y.-

Norwegian Lutherans Soon to Celebrate
u H. Their semI-centennia'.
Special to The Journal. e..
Decorah, Iowa, April 10.-A semi-cen-
tennial celebration of the organic alton of
the Norwegian Lutheran synod will be
held here June 1924. The question Of
providing an auditorium for the immense
crowd that will be here was the hardest
to solve for the local committee. Neither
churches nor the opera-house would be
adequate Then the thought turned to
the college gymnasium which is now too
small for the needs of the college. The
committee called the attention Of the
church council of the synod, and this
body recommended the college gymna-
sium be increased to nearly three times
it's present size, affording seating capa-
city for about 5000 people. The cost Is
estimated at $34, ,000 - The Luther col
lege athletic association will give $500. 1t
is expected that concessions and privi-
leges to restaurants : the college
grounds" during the meeting will net a
like sum, the jubilee offering taken OF,
Sunday, June 81, will be devoted to the
building. The board of trustees Of Luther
college met short time ago and sanc=
toned the above plans and authorized
the building. The Winnesheik County
State bank has donated $500 to the build
ing Of the larger:,sBymnasium, and $500
to the jubilee offering now being col
lected. Ben Beors <Decorah's leading
clothier,,T has donated $780, ~. -

The kalser's Diplomacy.

1t has been learned that the German
emperor during his recent stay in Copen-
hagen accomplished much in the direction
Of overcoming the strong antipathy of
the dowager empress of Russia towards
Germany. This is said to have been one
of the objects of the emperor's visit, as
he hopes through the dowager empress
to influence the czar and secure close
understanding between Russia and Ger
many. Emperor Williams marked atten-
tion to her father, King Christian, made
deep impression on the dowager en-
press, who was heard to remark:
IF all Germans were like the emperor
I would be a friend of Germany"

e,ornson,s eermanlc eund.

Bjornstjerne Bjornson, the Norwegian
dramatist, politician and writer, has two
thirds Of page of the Tageblatt of April
on one of his favorite ideas, an ethno-
logical and political trust Of all the Ger
manic peoples, in which he includes the
United States, Germany, England, Aus
tria, Scandinavia. Denmark, The Neither
lands and Switzerland. Such an alliance
he contends would impose peace on the
world. Bjornson closes the development
Of his idea by a, severe criticism of Prus-
sia's severe treatment Of the Danes in
Schleswig-Holstein, in trying to destroy
their language and nationality. =

Over at Hazlehurst yesterday the
law came very near being cheated
out of its just dues. Antonio Dukes,
a negro charged and convicted of muir
der, was hanged, but as he had the
galloping consumption and from ac-
counts would have lived but a few
days longer. He had to be helped
from his cell and up the galows steps.
In 1875 an old negro was hanged at
Brandon for murder who went on
crutches. He, too, had to be helped
on the platform and had to be held up
until the trigger was sprung. 1t was
sad sight, but the crime he COM
mitted was sad one. A little ne
gro girl made him mad. ~ He made
his dog catch her, and after. killing
her threw the body into an old well.
