Ministers Roast
Patten Wheat Deal
Patten Says They Are Trying to Make
Him Soapegoat for High
Prices.

CINCINNATI, April 19.-Despite the fact
that Patten, the new wheat king, is build
ing a gymnasium costing $15O0O0 for the
Northwestern university. a Methodist in
stitution, Cincinnati Methodist ministers
passed a resolution today condemning the
action which cornered wheat in Chicago"
CHICAGO, April 19.-Mr. Patten ex-
pressed a feeling of weariness when in
formed that Methodist ministers of Gin
cinnati had condemned the faction which
cornered wheat in Chicago"
What is the use of talking? Everybody
who knows anything about conditions
knows that haven't cornered wheat. No
body has cornered it. Prices are high and
they want a scapegoat. I'm the man
chosen. If l sold every grain of wheat
have prices would not drop.
"If these ministers who want to preach
with their eyes open would turn to the
sober market page of their paper instead
of sensational front page articles and hon.
estly endeavor to find the truth the silly
pulpit utterences would not be made"

ispensation.
The law. in which the first command
relative 10 Sabbath observance was given
TO Moses as embodied in the fourth com
mandment, was given for Israel and Israel
alone and not to the Genties," he said
Every command in the decalogue is en-
bodied in the New Testament, except the
fourth commandment The Mosaic law is
binding on the Christians Of today, not of

The paper was discussed with much ami
nation those leading in the discussion be-
ing Rev. J. w. Conley. Rev. l.. o. Baird.

The Omaha Ministerial union is consider
ing the matter of closing cemeteries on the
Sabbath and holding no funerals then.
The proposition was put up TO the union
at its Monday meeting in resolution Of
fered by Rev. r. T, Bell, pastor of the
Church OF the Covenant. II provides the
one exception that burials may be made
where sanitary reasons demand them.
Rev. Mr.. Bell said that his proposition
met with the approval OF many of the un-
dertakers and cemetery officials
The general sentiment of the ministers
was favorable 20 the resolution, but il was
thought that the proposition should receive
further consideration before the union went
on record as opposing Sunday funerals or
advocating the closing Of the cemeteries on
Sunday. The resolution was finally re-
ferred 20 the civil service committee TO
report at the next meeting OF the union.

servance OF the Lords nay." was the sub

METCALFE NOW FOR SENATOR
Democrats Casting About for New
Timber in Race.
BERNARD M. NENY GIVES BOOST
Eight O'Clock Closing Act and Tenn
perance Agitation Causes More
Division in Democratic
Ranks,

LINCOLN, April 19.-(special) )-ColoncI
Bryan need not worry about having to
sacrifice himself as the democratic candi-
date for United States senator and IL
Governor Shallenberger wants the Job he
will have to work for it.
Richard l.. Metcalfe is being touted as
the man. This comes from no less an
authority than Bernard McNeny, one of
the best prophets in the democratic party.
He told the day after the Denver conven-
tion what would happen to Bryan and he
now predicts Metcalfe will be the demo-
cratic candidate for the senate.
In the opinion of McNeny since the
enactment of the 8 o'clock closing law
Metcalfe is the logical candidate. In his
opinion he is the only man who has a
claim on the new democracy. 1t was Net
calfe's prohibition speech at Fremont
more than year ago? his speech to the
editors and his influence tnat saved the
8 O'Clock closing law to the democratic
legislature. Bryan cannot be elected.
said McNeny, land neither can Shallen-
berger be elected senator. The only man
in the democratic party who has any show
in my opinion is Richard l.. Metcalfe. He
came out for temperance legislation long
before any other democrat and the tenn
perance element OF the party owes II tO
him to stand by him."
McNeny is making no secret Of his be-
lief that Metcalfe is the strongest man the
democrats can put up. but on tho other
hand he believes from what he has heard
other democrats say that II Metcalfe will
stand for the office he will receive a big
ger vote than any otehr democrat in the
state.
Heretofore Metcalfe has refused TO be a
candidate for any office. A year ag6 lot
of democrats tried to get Berge. Dahlmar
and Shalenberger to withdraw from the
race for governor and give the nomination
to Metcalfe on a silver platter, but the
candidates refused TO withdraw and Met.
calfe refused to enter the race unless they
did withdraw.
Metcalfe's books have put him In sight
of easy street and he is financially able
now to paddle his own canoe without a
helping oar from any one.
Should Metcalfe consent to the use oi
his name. the Htchcocks, the Bryans anc
the Shallenbergers will be up against 6
proposition they never dreamed Of
Bernard McNeny, who proposed Met
calfe as the democratic candidate for tn,
senate, is a member of the bar commits
sion of the supreme court and is one o.
the active and leading members OF tn,
democratic party OF the state in so far al
the hewing of wood and drawing or wateI

in Whitla
Case is from a
Wealthy Family
Prosecution Asserts She is Daughter
Of Respectable Parents, but Will
Not Disclose Identity.

MERCER, Pa, April 19-That the woman
charged with the abduction of little
Billy whitla from Sharon last month is
not the wife Of James II. Boyle but is the
unmarried daughter of wealthy and re-
spectacle parents whose character and
standing are above reproach, is what the
state expects to prove in the approaching
trial of the kidnapping cases.
Detective l. V. Kepner, who disappeared
from Mercer Immediately after the recent
visit of Mr.. and Mrs II. Choteau Dyer OF
ST. Louis, has returned and announced
that he has positively identified the
woman Attorney T. c. Cochran, who is
representing Mr.. whitla in the prosecution,
has refused to allow the Identification to
be made public, but will endesvor 10 have
it introduced at the trial. Mr.. and Mrs.
Dyer. who partially identified the woman
as maid who left their employ about the
same time that $4,000 disappeared. win re-
turn. 1t is said, as witnesses before the
grand jury or at the trial.
kilograms said to have peen sent by
Boyle from Sharon to the woman at War
ren, O., about the time or the kidna ping
and from her at Warren to him at Sharon,
will be brought into evidence to connect
| the woman with the abduction. Attorney
| Cochran also expects to show the woman's e
connection with the abduction by proving
that 1t was planned during her visit in
Sharon with Boyle and that she wrote the
letter demanding the $4,000 ransom which
was mailed by Boyle in Sharon. Court
convened this morning with Judge A. w.
| Williams on the bench. The grand jury
will be busy for several days with other
matters and the abduction cases will not
be presented to it before Thursday or Fri
day. IL is probable that IL indictments are
returned an immediate trial will be asked
! for by the state.
