Nashville, Tenn, April 3.-The
Cumberland Presbyterian church in
Tennessee this afternoon won the
noted church case with which the
Tennessee supreme court has been
wrestling for. two years. The su-
preme court holds that the steps
ought to be taken by a portion OF
the Cumberland Presbyterian church
in uniting with the Presbyterian
church, U. S. A., are not effective
that the Cumberland Presbyterian
church still exists and its members
still retain it's creed, doctrines, etc.
It held that the unionists allied
themselves with different church
and doctrine.
The Cumberlands' are given the
church property and Unionists will
not have right or title to it.

Perhaps never before has the night court been

clothes with their prisoners while the railroad
company had detailed ten OF their special off,

who acted as special prosecuting officer when

twenty-nine OF the rowdies had received Work

Detectives stationed at the East 34th street

in their work by the presence of Inspector
Boettler, who spent almost an hour in personal
charge of this squad. The patrol wagon vas

a gleeful time the way across the river were
greatly surprised when the detectives boarded
the boat and placed them under arrest Some
of the prisoners had been playing ball and others
were simply out for good time"
Most of the arrests resulted from the com

His Love for Girl
Causes Man to

Maryville, Mo-, Shoemaker Resents
Attentions to His Thirteen
Year-0ld Daughter.

MARYv1LLB. Mo-. April 1s.-(special
Telegram)- Because his love for pretty
thlrteen-year old Jennie sivvegge Of
Boickow was stronger than his desire to
permit his hold on life. VIII Whitney Of
Bolckow is lying dangerously injured at
his home.
J. ]. Sivvegge, father of the girl, met
Whitney in an alley about o'clock
Thursday evening and with a single-bar-
relied shotgun, shot Whitney. The charge
entered Whitney's abdomen, inflicting a
terrible wound. sivvegge at once gave
himself up TO the city marshal and is being
held in the Bolckow Jail
Whitney had been to call on Miss Siv-
vegge The Sivvegge family live at the
building In which the fathers shoe shop
is located Svvegge was in the alley at
the rear of his home waiting for Whitney
to appear The young fellow left the home
OF his adored by the rear door and as he
stepped into the alley was confronted with
Sivvegge's shotgun. Without any cere-
mony Sivvegge fired at Whitney. People
who rushed into the alley found him lying
desperately wounded. He was taken TO the
office OF Drs. Hanna and Hanna, where
ne was treated hurredly. IL is doubtful II
he will recover.
Sivvegge Is about forty-five years of age,
while his victim is about twenty-five. Siv-
vegge is a shoemaker and Whitney a
young man about town. Prosecuting At
torney Sanders OF Andrew county was in

Hig h Wheat May Lead to
More HOme-Made Bread

II Il takes one and one-fourth bushels of
wheat to make a forty-eight-pound sack
of flour, and the sack will make seventy
eight loaves of bread. for which the baker
gets cents each. how much Will house
wife save by buying omaha-made flour at
Sis per sack and making her own bread?
This is serious problem in arithmetic
which some housekeepers cannot solve,
even with the aid OF rapid calculator and
common school knowledge of mathe-
matics.
Omaha grain dealers are shipping wheat
10 northern and eastern mills. for which
they are getting s123 to tl.2a while Denver
is willing to pay $40 for good-grade mill
ing wheat.
Responding TO the soaring price OF wheat
-four has been marked up from s. TO S.
per barrel by local millers and they are
holding back as hard as possible to keep
from being compelled 70 mark up the flour
10 $3.50 or even 81 per barrel.
This means it takes Sl.i0 to $3.50 worth
OF wheat TO make a fifty-pound sack OF
flour. That's a close margin, which millers
cannot stand very iong.
THE baker buys me flour for 50 per 100
pounos and makes l51 loaves OF bread, II

Witness in Graft
Case SaysH He Took
Bribe Money Twice
Former Supervisor Gives Sensational
Testimony in Calhoun Trial
at San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO. April 16.-The bribery
trial of Patrick Calhoun was resumed to-
day. Former Supervisor Fred P. Nicholas
told of conversations with former Super
visor James l.. Gallagher in which the lat
ter told him that there would be $4,000
for him. to vote favorably on the applica-
tion OF the United Railroads for the permit
TO transform their cable roads into over
head trolley lines. He asserted that ne re-
ceived the money in two payments. the
first In currency of small denominations
and the second in large bills.
Upon cross-examination by Earl Rogers
the latter showed witness a record of his
testimony in previous trial In which
Nicholas had testified that Gallagher had
not mentioned the amount he was to re-
ceive.

ter7'' asked Rogers
me. never have" replied Nicholas.
Rogers then produced the affidavit sworn
to by Nicholas and the other supervisors
that they have never taken any money cor
ruptly while members of the board. How
about this?" asked Rogers.
"If you mean that"
At this point Assistant District Attorney
Heney took exception to this NATTER
declaring Rogers question misleading.
A clash followed between Heney and A.
A. Moore OF defendants counsel. which
was finally stopped by the court who de-
clared that a witness had some rights as
we'll counsel for either side.
