DIVIDED ON RITUAL.
Discord May Split Episcopal Church
Membership.


The struggle over ritualism in the
Episcopal church is coming to focus
in Appleton.
Predictions are made that the con.
test may cause a division OF the
church, at least in Wisconsin. Should
it come to that, it is said, the division
of the church at large will be matter
of short time.
Rev. Boyd J. Coke of All Saints
Episcopal church here, who succeeded
Rev. Seldom P. Delany, now dean at
All Saints cathedral in Milwaukee,
under Archbishop w, w. Bebb, de-
clares that he has received call to
the Episcopal church at Sheboygan,
Wis. Unless his congregation in APP
pleton comes to a unity of opinion in
reference to high or low church mat
tiers, he asserts, he will accept the call
to Sheboygan.
Father Coke is high churchman
and his conduct of services is resented
by part of his parishioners. The
vestry of the church will meet Fri
day night and endeavor to reach set
Element.
Those who oppose Father Coke now
do not hesitate to express their crltl-
cism over the policy of Bishop Graf
ton of Fond du Lac, who is an ex,
IRENE high churchman. 1t is said that
the congregation here is not the only
one which is threatened with division
over the same question.

Northwest News
WHEAT MAKES HIGH RECORD
SHORTAGE IN INDIA SENDS THE
PRICES IN MINNEAPOLIS
SKYWAR0.

Minneapolis, Oct. 9.-Wheat is up
again, having struck new high mark
for the season yesterday in Minneap-
oils, when the May option sold at
Stats and December at Sill IL.
Cash wheat sold as high as $1.15 "a
and flour advanced 10 cents.
The sudden squirt of yesterday was
chiefly due to news from India of poor
crop conditions. The crop is said to
be especially short there. and the news
which reached Minneapolis from Del
hi by way of Liverpool was especially
bad for the bears. The result was
strengthened by cables from the Euro
pean markets and general increase
in all the exchanges. Minneapolis re-
sponded to the news with bound and
sent the prices skywards.
The conditions in the wheat situa-
ton are said to be especially peculiar
this season There seems to be no
doubt that the worlds output will be
short by many millions of bushels this
year, and the trade is correspondence
preparing for the result. Leading
grain statisticians like Beerbohm,
Dornbush and Broomhall place the
worlds shortage this year at from
17O,00O,O00 to 225.00O.O0O bushels.
With such prospect it is not I'M
natural that wheat should go up be
yond the price of the past few years.

VAN HisE WOULD ABOLISH RUSH.
Considers Class Contest Dangerous
Haxers to Be Punished.


II have never approved Of the fresh
man-sophomore rush, said President
Charles r. Van Hise Of the University
| of Wisconsin, when interviewed re-
garding the observation-disclosures rush
Thursday. "The contest showed clear
ly that the very large numbers of stu
dents now in the freshman and sopho-
more classes make the rush danger
Gus. The present form Of rush, there
fore must be abolished, preferably by
the students, if they are willing to un-
dertake the task.
"As is we'll known, am believer
in student self-government so far as
it is practicable" continued President
Van Hise, "and believe that the best
results, on the whole are to be gain
ed by encouraging the development OF
self-goyernment. Two years ago |
brought to the attention of the stu
dent conference committee the matter
of the neutrality-suspicious. rush, sug-
costing that, with the increase in the
size of the classes the form of contest
which had grown up here was likely to
become dangerous, and | urged that it
be modified The student conference
committee expressed the belief the
rules could be devised by which
the rush could be properly controlled.
| therefore acquiesced in leaving the
matter in their hands for the time be-
ing, thus affording them an opportuni-
ty to ascertain whether they were able
to keep the rush within reasonable
bounds.
"The experience of the present year
shows that it is impracticable for the
students to control the rush Effective
control by the students is impossible
because of the very large number Of
freshmen and sophOmOres. A form OF
rush which may be unobjectionable
with small numbers may become dam
gerous when large. numbers partlcl-
pate The incidents Of yesterday show
clearly that the present form of rush
must be abolished.
I'm connection with the plan of self
government the students last year
also made rules in reference to the
control of hazing," said President Van
Hise, when asked concerning the re-
cent hazing episode. Recently these
rules have been grossly violated in
two respects by some of the members
Of the sophomore class. Those who
have violated these rules should re-
ceive the severest condemnation of
the student body. All violations of the
adopted rules which come to my
knowledge will be sent to the disci-
pline committee of the university fac
,1lty for their consideration. w.

MILLION PAID TO FARMERS.
Ford csu Lac County Rises to High
Place in Dairy Industry.

PIace IN Dairy INDUSTRY.
The annual report of athe county
clerk in regard to the extent of the
dairy industry in Fond du Lac county
shows that during the last year the
dairy farmers have received more
than million dollars for their milk
and cream. aside from the amount
consumed at home. This showing puts
Fond du Lac county in the front rank
of the dairy counties of the state.
The annual report of the dairy in
dustry is compiled from the returns
Of the assessors of various towns Of
the county These returns show that
there are thirty-four creameries and
forty-one cheese factories in the coun-
ty. The creameries report 1920 pa
irons and 1917 cows contributing to
them. They received during the year
60,101, 567 pounds of milk and made
3.035.384 pounds of butter, for which
they received 1854, 73494 The cheese
factories report 831 patrons and 8,059
cows. They received 28,667 ,584
pounds of milk during the year and
made 3,O92,589 pounds of cheese, for
which they received $294,093.O8.
In addition to the output of the
creameries and cheese factories the
assessors report that the butter made
on the farms amounted to/$30.001 dur
ing the year, there being 2,495
pounds. This would bring the total
valuation of the dairy products of the
county up to $1,008, 81903, leaving out
of the consideration entirely 1925
gallons of milk that was sold for dis.
tribution in cities and villages-.W.

10 IUMBFRMfN

FEDERAL GRAND JURY CHARGES
CONSPIRACY AGAINST CAT

LITTLE BLACK BOOK CAUSE
BENCH WARRANTS ARE ISSUED
FOR ARREST OF THE iNDIcT-
ED MEN.
LITTLE BLACK BOOK CAUSE

Minneapolis, Oct. g. = Nineteen
prominent Northwestern lumbermen,
ten of them living in Minneapolis,
were yesterday indicted by the federal
grand jury on charge of conspiracy
against the catalogue houses, and one
other was indicted on charge of mis-
use of the mails. Bench warrants have
been issued and the defendants will
appear before Judge William H. Mum
ger, in the United States district court
in Minneapolis, before the end of the
week
Comes as Surprise.
The announcement of the indict-
ments came as a surprise to the lum-
bermen themselves and their associ-
ates, and few of them would discuss
the situation last evening.
The punishment in case of convic-
tion on any of the counts of the ind1ct-
ment is a fine of not more than $1O,-
900 or Imprisonment for not more
than two years, or both. The lumber
men profess not to fear conviction on
the charge and claim they were within
their rights in every action they may
have taken against the mail order
houses
Cause of Investigation.
The little black book was at the
basis of the trouble which has brought
the indictments against the lumber
men 1t is claimed the book was is
sued as a simple and effective means
of securing the cooperation of the
managers of the yard lines of the lum-
Der firms and their friends and pa
irons to injure the catalogue houses of
Minneapolis, Chicago and Davenport,
Iowa. Firms from each of those cities
appear as the compliments in the
case.
Twelve overt acts of sending for
catalogues, samples and paints and
roofing and bogus estimates on lumber
bills are charged by the Indictment.

Supreme Court Decision Prevents I'm.
mediate Action by State.
By stipulation the suits Of the state
against the railroad companies for
back taxes will not be tried in the cir
cult court at Madison until some time
next January. According to a recent
decision of the supreme court, the
state cannot compel the railroads to
make an accounting of their earnings
prior to 1897. The state has sued for
back taxes on earnings since 1893.
The taxes in controversy are based on
the gross earnings of the roads and
are alleged to have been due under
the license fee law which was super
seeded three years ago by the ad va
loren taxation statute. Some of the
companies have already paid the
claims against them, but the larger
roads are preparing to contest the
claim against them. Ii the state is
successful, it is estimated that the
roads will have to pay about $250,O00.
