troit, although police departments all
over the country have offered a re-
ward OF 5000 for information con-

parents fearing that he wronged
them beyond forgiveness by running
away.
The father In a letter to The Citl-

INVITATION CARRIES
BONUS OF $4,000
Colorado Backs Up Arguments
With Offer of Big Sum and Del
egdtes Spend Little Time in
Making Choice TO Convene
Third Thursday in May.

Kansas City. May 29.-Denver was
today selected as the city in which
next years general assembly of the
Presbyterian church of the United
States is to be held. But one ballot
was taken for the two contesting cit
les and the vote was SO nearly unani-
nous that Seattle withdrew and the
Colorado city was finally selected with
one voice.
The invitation of Denver was ac-
companied by the promise of a bonus
of $4,000 offered by that city to en-
tertain the delegates and guests. 1t
was claimed for Denver, aside from
the big bonus, that railroad fares to
that city would be much less than to
Seattle. 1t was also argued that the
general assembly never yet convened
in the Rockies and as next year Is
the semi-centennial anniversary of the
establishment of the church in Colo
RADIO it was particularly desirable that
the meeting be held there.
When the voting began it was early
apparent that the great majority of
delegates favored Denver. No count
of the one ballot taken was kept, but
when it concluded DR.. Mark A. Ma
thews OF Seattle moved that DNver
be unanimously selected and this was
done amid scenes of much enthus-
iasm.
The fight between Denver and Sc
attic, the only two cities desiring the
next general assembly, developed a
warm contest but when the ballot
was taken and 1t was seen that Den
yer was so far in the lead the Seattle
enthusiasts withdrew.
Routine matters were taken up
when the assembly met this morning.
Among other business transacted
rule was enacted which provides that
the general assem- bly, shall convene
hereafter on the third Thursday in
May each year.

REPORTED THAT STONE OF
MISSOURI MILL ASSIST
Two Demands for Quorum and
Appeal From Decision Of Vice
PreSident--SendtOr CulberSOn
Refused TO Yield Floor
Delays Adjournment.

Washington, May 29.-u was made
evident, soon after the Senate con-
vened today. that Senator La Toilette
would do all in his power to obstruct
the passage Of the compromise car
rency bill, and there was ground for
the report that he had succeeded in
obtaining assurance of help from
Senator Stone of Missouri.
Before o'clock Senator La Fol-
lette had made two demands for q
quorum. and when upon the third de-
mand the vice president refused to
recognize him because Senator CuI-
berson had the floor and declined to
yield, he raised a point OF order to
the effect that the presiding officer
should have a roll call when there
was demand for quorum, even
in the face OF a declination by the
senator occupying the floor to yield
for that purpose.
The vice president held against the
Wisconsin senator and the latter an
nounced his intention to appeal from
the chairs decision.
He then entered upon an argument
in support OF his contention and II
was evident that the filibuster, small
though 1t might be in numbers, was
on in earest.
The fight which la Toilette is MAX
ing may result In further preventing
the adjournment of Congress. La
Toilette. II is believed, will contest
every inch of ground before the emer-
gency currency measure is allowed to
get out of the Senate. In the mean
time the public buildings bill and half
a dozen other measures are complete
ly tied up.
