At the morning session of the Norwe-
gian Lutheran synod today President
Koren explained that he wanted it to
appear in the record, that when the
meetings are held in Congregational
and not in a Lutheran church, this Is
due solely to the circumstances that no
Lutheran church was available. He
wanted it expressly stated in the re-
port that the Congregational church was
hired for the occasion Otherwise
the impression might go abroad that the
Lutheran synod had formed sort Of
fraternal union with the Congregation
alists.
The president was instructed to ap-
point committee on resolutions. This
committee will be expectedsto draft and
present to the synod a suitable address
and greeting to the new government Of
Norway. Such action has been taken
by the other three Norwegian Lutheran
church bodies in America; vet there
seems to be some doubt as to whether
or not this synod will do likewise. Pres
cident Koren was two years az decor
ated by King Oscar with the insignia
Of Commander Of the Order of st. Olaf,
regarded as the highest possible dis
tinction. He and some Of the other
older members of the clergy are sup
posed to be ultra conservative and may
object to any action which could by any
possibility be construed as setting the
stamp of approval on revolution against

RAILROAD
RATES WILL DROP
NO MORE ExoRsITANT CHARGES
FOR FREIGHT SERVICE.
New Rates Will Be Made Known as
Soon as Matter Can Be
Investigated.

Washington, d. c., April 20.-It is
said that Panama railroad rates are
to go down, despite all apparent as
surances to the contrary attributed to
Chairman Shonts, in interviews pub
lished recently Isthmian traffic will
70 longer be compelled to pay exor-
bitant rates out of all proportion to
the service performed. The change in
rates will be made known as soon as
the matter can be inquired into fully
enough to revise the existing schedules
in an equitable manner. This may be
considered the first development of
the governmental control of the Pan
ANA railroad property. It's accom-
piishment will be due to the determin-
alton of the president and Secretary
Taft to bring trade to this country
from South and Central America. The
distance is only AZ miles, the railroad
charge is now practically one-third of
the land and water total cost. Here
after it will be only high enough to
insure fair return, say six9pe cent
on the investment.
Present indications however are that
Trans-continental railroad represen-
tatives have been apprehensive about
the intentions of the new officials who
have taken up the direction of affairs
on the isthmus, and have been making
inquiries about the governments plan
for running the railroad. According
to report they have asked that the re-
duction OF rates, If any, be made grad
Ial in order that the trans-continental
reads will not be disturbed in their
traffic arrangements.

New York, April 20.-The meeting
of the general managers and district
managers of the Esuitable Life AS
surance Society, which has been In
session at the Hotel Savoy since Mon
day, in the hope that they might be
able to assist in Strengthening out the
tangled affairs of the organization
came to sudden end about o'clock
this afternoon, that the meeting
really has done nothing. The agents
presented their demand that Mr..
Hyde resign, Mr.. Hyde refused tc DO
this. Has the situation been changed
in the least? This is the question they
ask
Members Of the convention however,
lrofess to believe that they have really
accomplished a great deal. They be-
lieve that the agents have been given
clearer insight into the real status
of affairs through their coming to-
gether and declare that enough public
sentiment has been aroused to bring
success to their cause.
The greater part of the day was
taken up in the discussion of the plans
for forming the permanent organiza-
tion. The name selected for the as
sociation is the Association of Man

WAS DISSOLVED
Restraining Order Against
City and Contractor
Whike.
$4,000 OF A LEEWAY

The temporary restraining order
against the city of Canton and the
temporary restraining order against
the city of Canton and the
members of the board of public ser
vice entering into contract with
Contractor George IL. Whike for tho
was dissolved by Judge ralph s. Am
bier Thursday morning, and the peti
ton asking for an injunction was
dismissed.
The action was brought by George
w. Butler, as a taxpayer, alleging
that the lawful preliminaries had not
been complied with in securing bids
and that the bid OF Contractor Whike
was not in proper form. A restrain
ing order had been granted pending
the hearing of the case, which took
place Wednesday.
In his decision Judge Amber went
into the case fully and disclosed one
fact that the public had no knowl-
edge of, and that was that the council
had given the board $4,000 Of lee
way with which to cover whatever ex-
ira expenses there should be over and
above the contract price. This was
for the erection Of the stack and talk
ing care of such matters as were not
covered by the first estimates. This
liberal allowance on the side was
something rather unusual and surpris.
ing on a contract that called for only
$4,000.
The judge held that the advertising
was sufficient, and that the form OF
proposal used furnished all informa.
tion that may have been lacking in
the advertisement. The specifications
were held to be complete and definite
with regard to the character of the
material to be used and the manner
of finish; that the board had reserved
the right to reject any or all of the
bids, etc. The final conclusion was
that the bid of Melbourne Brothers
not having been submitted in legal
form, that of Whike was the lowest
! The court found that the stack, boil
er foundation and other articles not
covered by the bids were to be sepa
rate and apart from the main building
and their omission could not affect the
Validity of the bid and that the ordi
nance had allowed $4,000 for the cost
of these extras. f
