Extravaganza In Dress.

MINISTER STARTS CRUSADE AGAINST
FEMALE MEMBERS WHO INDULGE
IN "FLAsHY" CLOTHES, AND MAY
CLOSE CHURCH DOORS TO THEM.
Msrcerville, N. j.. Nov. 14.--The
Rev. George L. Morrison, pastor
of the Second Reformed Church,
is conducting a crusade against
the female members of the con-
gregstion who are extravagant in
dress, and he threatens to close
the church doors to women and
girls who attempt to enter with
"fashy" clothes, as he terms arti-
cles of finery.
women are going crazy nova
days" he declared, when asked
about his crusade, lover the mat
ter of dress. aud in this way they
are doing moro harm than good to
religion. Some of them desire to
make the church the center of
their exhibition of dress, thus dis
tracing other worshippeFs.
Mrs. Blank buys new dress.
That's all very well. She must
have some clothes, but / believe
she should dress conservstively
and always within her means. But
this Mrs. Blank buys a dress that
almost robs her home, puts it oD,
manages to be late for services,
then walks into the church such
as to disturb the entire congrega-
ton. What is her purpose? Every
vne knows. Even whom the pas
tor is preaching, Mrs. So.snd.So
whispers to her neighbor some
criticism or makes some favorable
comment about Mrs. Blanks Ella
borats dress.
"The men worshippers, who
would ordinarily mind their pray
ers, are almost panic-stricken by
Mrs. Blanks appearance with new
exhibition and wonder why their
wives do not dress a. we'll. They
do not realize that il their wives
wore such elaborate dresses stock
stomacks probably would not be
a. full. Mrs. Blank might look as
we'll in the eyes of some. aud she
may be able to create the commo.
ton she strives for, but it would
DO much better for her soul to
come to church in an old-fashion-
cd wrapper.
You cannot mix church aud
fashion, because the less fashion
you find in a church tho more re-
ligion prevails. Whom you find

NATION is INTERESTED
GREAT COAL LAND INQUIRY IN
WOLVES IMMENSE SUMS.

Testimony on behalf of the United
states government in the Alaskan Goa
cases, will be taken IN Salt Lake today
when William H Campbell of Fallon,
NeyD will take the witness stand in the
FEDERAL court room at 10 o clock this morn
ing before William J. MCGEE. law exam
lner, IN charge of the contest work of the
special service division OF the general land

material evidence.
Mr.. MCGEE arrived in the city last night,
accompanied by James n. Sheridan, of
Denver, the government attorney in the
proceedings, and John p. Gray, attorney
Tor the entrymen, who lives in Wallace,
Idaho.
The taking of testimony on the Alaskan
coal cases was begun in Seattle, Wash.
on November 19 last. following the pre-
ferring of charges by Lewis r. CLAWS,
former special agent OF TIE land depart
ment, that entries made by thirty three
persons on Alaskan coal lands were not
made in good faith and that the land so
entered upon was not for their sole use.
As result OF these charges the investi-
cation was ordered, and Examiner MCGEE
was directed to take testimony to aseer-
tain the validity of the charges.
Campbell is the last witness TO be
sworn on behalf of the government. IT is
not known just what his testimony will
be, but it is understood that it will per-
tain chiefly to conversation he had with
Clarence Cunningham, the agent for the
thirty three entrymen who took up land
in Alaska, and who has figured prOmi-
nently in the investigation, The land de-
partment at Washington named a special
commission to take the evidence. and Mr.,
MCGEE is chief examiner, with Attorney
Sheridan looking after the legal phases.
Huge Sums Involved.
After months OF inquiry the scene OF
action was shifted TO Washington, ID. c.,
and the final hearing in the nations CAPT
tai was held the first of this week, Elk
aminer MCGEE and Attorneys Sheridan
and Gray then started for Salt Lake and
arrived here late yesterday.
As the Campbell testimony will wind up
the inquiry so far as the government Is
concerned, Examiner MCGEE will imme-
diately upon the conclusion Of today s
hearing certify the results Of the inquiry
to the land department at Washington.
Immense interest has been aroused all
over the country over the Alaskan coal
lands investigation, and with the scene OF
inquiry shifted to Salt Lake today there
will be more than passing interest taken
in the outcome in this city.
Campbell was among the early pros
pectOrs in Alaska and il is understood he
had an important conversation with Gun
ningham, or overheard a conversation in
which Cunningham took part, which Will
be Of material benefit to the government.
The Cunningham claims have passed
into the control Of the Guggenheim- Nor
gan syndicate and are estimated to be
immensely valuable.

LIFE NOT IN JEOPARDY.
Negro Homicide Will Be Tried on
Manslaughter Charge.

L. NJ. Duncan, the negro Waterman of
the Kennedy Construction company, who
shot and MORALLY wounded Archie Fame
on the night OF March b. will have to face
the district court on a charge Of man
slaughter. In the preliminary eXamina-
ton of Duncan. which was com leted in
the criminal division of the city court yes
terday forenoon, it was shown that Dun
can did not shoot Fame without provoca-
ton. As result the charge against him
was reduced from murder in the first de-
gree TO mansiaughter. 1t was proven that
James Wood, companion of Fame at the
time OF the shooting carried large stone
in his hand, which had apparently been
intended for the negro. The negro claims
that he did not shoot Fame until it was
absolutely necessary to self-defense.

University Girls in Revolt
Against Boys BOssing Things

The meeting of Friday was attended by
girls from all OF the organizations at the
University. 1t was asserted at this meet
ing that the rule solely of men in the
University would come to an end and that
the girls would hereafter have a word in
the student affairs.
At the coming election the girls say
they will elect a president, a vice-presi-
dent, the editor Of the Chronicle and two
athletic representatives. That the girls
will make their threat good seems pos
sible from the fact that the girls in the
school outnumber the boys by a eOnsid-
cradle majority, and if they stick together
they will probably win their point. The
outlook is being watched with much in
terest.
