the American Salvation Army and the
Gospel Army We're summoned to the
office of Capt. Williams, commander of
the first police precinct. last night, and
given orders that they must cease max
ing collections in barrOoms.
Capt. Williams explained to the col
lectors that such d decision was reached
at a conference held some time ago. He
said he did not want to hinder their
work, but would insist upon strict COM
pliance with the order against passing
around their tambourines in barrooms.
How long have YOU been visiting
saloons and collecting money" Capt.
Williams asked one young woman who
wore the costume of the Gospel Army.
About five years, was her reply.

the order is to stop. of course. I'll stop.
But l must obey orders SO long as / am
Il member of the army"

in barrooms'' the captain said. is
wrong and should be stopped.

ing places and others

Hull and Prouty.
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star
Permit me to make a correction
rs TO a dispatch from Iowa regarding
the nomination OF candidate for
Congress in the capital district OF
IOWA. The dispatch stated that Mr..
Prouty had been nominated for Congress
In that district, defeating Capt. Hull.
There was no error in the dispatch, il is
true. That is. there was a convention at
Des Moines that protested to nominate a
candidate for Congress. but it was a pure
~ gratuitous piece of business. An act
passed by the general assembly OF the
state at its last session provided for the
nomination of candidates for all offices
At a primary election TO be held on the
first Tuesday in June. Among the pro-
visions of the act is one to the effect
that If no candidate for an office receives
As much as 81 per cent of the votes of his
party convention. the delegates TO which
are also TO be chosen at the primary
Shall make a. nomination. The fact that
10 such nomination was made must be
ertified to the chairman OF the commit
tse of the party interested by the execu-
tive council of the state, which body
rsnNasses the votes cast at the prima ries
for state and district officers and declares
Sc result thereof. In the seventh dis
tTict OF Iowa no such certificate was made
~ the executive council; nor could auy
e made for the very good reason that
