Washington. June 1S.-James Met
calf, until yesterday, superintendent
of the money order division OF the
pOstOftice department had a lengthy
interview with Postmaster General
Payne this morning. He knew yes
terday that his official conduct was
under investigation but had no sus-
picion of removal until he received
notification while at the dinner table
last night There is a disposition on
che part of some to question the ac-
curacy of the information upon which
Payne acted. Metcalf is a prOJege of
Senator Allison. Payne's friends fear
that he is on the verge Of nervous
prOstratiOn and he feels keenly the
burden OF criticism. Yesterday eve
ming he broke down completely while
attempting to answer a question re-
garIing the Metcalf case. Tears were
in his eyes.
The dismissal of Metcalf is the re-
suit of the acts Of MetCalf il OppOsl-

FlFTY-YEAR JUBILEE.

DecOrah. Ia, June 1S-This staid
little college town is filled with visi-
tors as never before in its history
hundreds having arrived from all
points Of the compass during the last
tWenty-fOur hours. The occasion is
the celebration of the semi i-centennial
jubilee OF the synod for the NOrwe
gian EvaLgelistic Lutheran church OF
America, commonly known as The
Norwegian Synod" The celebration
began this morning with divine ser
vice held on the Lutheran college
campus, and it will be the middle OF
next week before the anniversary ex
ercises are finished. The program is
an interesting one and Will be partici-
pated in by eminent members OF the
church from Minnesota. Illinois. Wis
COnsln Kansas, Nebraska. the DakO-
,as and numerous other states. An at
traCtiye musical program has been ar
ranged and several evenings will be
given up to sacred concerts. A large
male choir and mixed chorus will
sing, while instrumental music Will be
furnished by the Luther college band
which numbers upwards Of seventy
five members and is noted as one OF
the foremost organizations Of its
kind in the middle west.
The Norwegian synod which has now
reached the half-century mark Of It's
existence, was organized at kOshkO
nOng, Wis. in February, 1853; and
until 1890, when several smaller
church bodies united to form The
United Lutheran Church" it was the
largest church organization among
the NOrwegians of America. The pres
ent celebration is the result OF de
cision reached at the meeting OF the
synod in Minneapolis last year, at
which it was resolved to raise large
thank offering and to hold an apprO-
pirate celebration of the jubilee year
Very naturally DecOTah was chosen as
the place OF meeting. for DecOrah has
been for more than forty years the
chief centre of Lne Church's activities.
Here are located its colleges and pub
fishing house, and the president, treas
urer and other leading officers OF the
synod all reside in the vicinity.
