to-hand fight.
Consequently Ilonca Ilnetzky, who
received the first blow, challenged Olga
Metzeroff, who struck her, by sending
two other girl students as her Sec
onds. Olga Metzeroff obtained two more
girl students as her seconds, and the four
seconds arranged that the duel should
take place in German territory to evade
the Austrian authorities. After the duel
the ccinbatants and their parity were to
return to Austria in great haste to avoid
trouble with the German authorities.
The conditions arranged were pistol
shots, at IS PAGES, to be exchanged until
one of the two combatants became dis
abled. The four seconds arranged an
interval of three days to enable the
duelists to practice pistol shooting.
The dueling party crossed the from
tier at sunrise and proceeded to Sc
cluded spot in the forest. The princi-
pals took up their positions, and one
cf the seconds gave the word of com
mand. The two combatants exchanged
four shots before either of them was
hit. At the fifth shot Olga Metzeroff
received wound in the left shoulder
and fell in the snow fsinting and
bleeding profusely.
The girl medical students had come
to render first aid in case of necessity
and after bandaging the wounded girl
she was conveyed back to Austria and
taken to her home. The victor Ilonca

MINISTER IS TO
Be REPR|MANDED
Secret Of Logan Conference
Leaks Ont.
REPORT IS UNANIMOUS

Committee That investigated Rels-
tlons Between Rev. A. M. Mann,
superintendent of the Methodist
Churches In Marietta District, and
Woman Of Ironton, Report Accused
Was Guilty Of "High Imprudence
and UnministeriaI Conduct"
Columbus, o., Sept $50 quietly
was the church trial Of Rev Arthur
M. Mann held in Logan during the
recent Methodist Episcopal confer-
ence that no information concerning
1t leaked out until after the ministers
had returned to their charges this
week. The outcome of that trial
promises to cause some Ill feeling, IL
nothing more, among the conference
leaders.
Rev. Arthur M. Mann is the super.
intendent OF the Marietta district,
and has been under a cloud for a
long time, in fact, ever since he was
pastor OF church in Ironton. The
rumors concerning his conduct with
a certain woman OF his congregation
continued to circulate until the atten-
ton of the conference authorities
was called TO 1t, and 1t gained con-
siderable publicity.
One of the first official acts Of the
conference in Logan was to appoint
a committee of 10 ministers to inves.
tigate the rumors and try the super
lntendent on the charges OF immoral
and imprudent conduct, and the hear
ing continued through the greater
part of four days.
In fact, it was the sensation of the
conference, and far overshadowed the
trial Of the Rev. George w. Lott of
Shepard, who was punished in spite
of the fact that 1t was shown that he
was mentally irresponsible for inds.
cretions committed on a streetcar In
Chicago.
In the case of the Rev. Mr.. Mann,
there was an inclination on the part
of some members of the committee
to return finding OF greater guilt,
but after long discussion, in order
to make the report OF the committee
unanimous, a verdict of high impru-
dence and unministerial conduct"
was reached, and a recommendation
made that "the accused be repri.
manded by the bishop"
To the great surprise OF the mem
bers of the committee and others
who had been in touch with the hear
ing. the Rev. Mr.. Mann was reap.
pointed superintendent of the Mari
eta district, and the whole matter so
hushed up that 1t did not even be-
come generally known at the lime.

PLEDGE SUPPORT TO STRIKE
Hostility to Harmon Not Manifest In
Labor Meetings. Report.


Columbus, o., Sept. 22.-Although
called for the announced purpose of
taking hostile action against Cover
nor Harmon for his refusal to inter-
fere in the streetcar Strike, the gov
ernor is not mentioned in resolutions
adopted at conference OF labor
leaders from various parts Of the
state. The resolutions pledge the
delegates to urge local unions to
come to the financial assistance of
the strikers, to help establish the
company formed by unionists to op-
crate motor busses In opposition to
streetcars and TO report to the locals
all facts stated in the resolutions and
urge immediate action to the end
that the enemies OF labor may be
taught that they can not prevail
against organized labor, aroused and
united"
In the body of the resolutions II is
recited that "after examining the re-
port of the committee to confer with
the governor, we realize that he can't
be induced to take action on behalf
Of arbitration, as we have wished
him to do"

ORDERS SMITH To
DROP OUT OF RACE
Tom Watson Threatens TO Ex-
pose Grave Secrets.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 22.--In an
letter published here, Thomas ..
Watson ordered Ex-Governor Ho'le
Smith to resign the gubernatorial
nomination. If Smith refuses to with.
draw as nominee, Watson says he
will expose the ex-governor and drive
him from public life. Watson says
81 have the story of some of the
horrible secrets Of your double life.
Little Joe Brown, when he was rail.
road commissioner, had the secrets,
and they were in that letter which
Brown handed you and which you re-
fused to open or receive because you
knew IL you opened it the public
would get at these secrets. Is 1t not
true that Little Joe Brown faced you
handed you the letter himself, saying
as he did so, This will tell you what
| think of you and that you were
afraid either to slap his jaws or to
open that letter? You did retaliate
by dismissing Brown from the rail-
road commission.
Don't you think that you would
be rendering your country great
service and your family a still great
er one by retiring from the race for
governor? Every friend of yours
realizes that my treatment of you
during this campaign was most gen.
erous. You yourself knew that had
published your private letters to me
you would have been defeated over

minds OF the people of Georgia for
another Carmack case, and If
should be assassinated my friends

gressman Howard. | warn you for

your familys sake to withdraw"

mission Denied All Right 70 FIX
Freight and Passenger Charges.
Findings Must Be Passed Upon by
Circuit Court and II Sustained De-
cision Will Be Appealed to United
States Supreme Court.
st. Paul, Sept. 22.-Railroad rate
legislation passed by the state legis-
lature in the past several years re-
ceived body blow in the decision of
Judge r. Otis, as master, thai rate
reductions ordered are confiscatory
and, therefore, unconstitutional. The
railroads are also enjoined by the de-
cision from keeping the rates in eff
feet in the state.
The 2-cent passenger rate and the
recent reduction of freight rates in
all commodity lines must now be In.
creased to the old figures prevailing
before the beginning of the state rail-
road and warehouse commissions at
tempts to reduce them.
The decision holds that any at.
tempt on the part of the railroad
commission to adjust rates is a dis
elimination against the regulation Of
interstate commerce and is therefore
unconstitutional The effect of this
decision is apparently wide enough
to nearly wipe out the rate-making
power of the railroad and warehouse
commission. The decision will be ap.
pealed if the masters findings are
sustained by the court.
The main feature of the decision is
its reference to the unconstitutional
ity of the laws and orders, of which
there are nine.
The cases have occupied the time
of Judge Otis for two years. The
findings are not final, in that they
are not the rulings Of the circuit
court, which must pass on the de.
cision before giving 1t legal effect.
The decision is, in effect, a recon-
mendation to the circuit court, which
has the power to reverse or refuse TO
accept after an examination of the
records of the case.
It is possible that several weeks,
II not months, will elapse before the
circuit court takes any action, al
though the state will make efforts to
obtain a speedy review of the matter,
after which plans can be made to ap-
peal to the United States supreme
court.
