said Noah H. Brookins, father of
Aviator Walter Brookins, when he

Walter was once a newsboy.
That was about II years ago, and
those who know him best declare
he has not changed much since.
AS a newsie he was a hustler.
After that he entered the auto
mobile business with his father.
He kept pace with the auto indus
try as it developed, until last Feb
ruary, when he wrote his father
from Milwaukee he wanted to try
his hand at the aviation game, and
requested him to see the Wrights
about it. 1t isn't generally known,
but Walter drove racing automo-
bile on the Pacific coast in 1908
and 'O9, and, although he didn't
become worldwide famous as a
daredevil, he cut considerable ice
in that section of the c9lntry.
When Walter got the airship
fever he became the first pupil of
Orville and Wilbur Wright. He
made his first flight at Montgom

afterwards was called north, and

MAY UNITE CONFERENCES
Important Question to Come Before
the German Methodist Body.

One OF the most important questions
to lie considered at the Northern con-
ference of the German Methodist
church which meets in ,Faribault De-
tober 6. will be the union of the
Northwest German and the Northern
German conferences. A few years ago
these conferences separated and it is
said that the members have regretted
the division ever since. The Northern
cOnference comprises the churches i'll
Minneapolis, St Paul, Northern Mime
sofa and Eastern Wisconsin. The
Northwest conference has its jurisdic-
ton Southern Minnesota. Northern
Iowa and all of North Dakota. Both
the conferences have a small member
ship and it is believed that German
Methodism will be served better by
their union.
There are seventy-five churches in
the Northern conferences, with n mem
bership of about 5000.

Cincinnati, Oct. Distinguished
clergymen and influenced laymen of the

representing all sections of the country,
were present today at the opening of
the triennial general convention of the
church. a number of important mat
tiers are to be decided by the cOnven-
ton, making it the most important
gathering of the Episcopalians in re-
cent years.
Among the noteworthy questions to
be decided are the adoption of a pre-
amble to the constitution of the church,
which comes up for final action. An
other point which will be thoroughly
discussed is the so-calied open pulpit
canon. The indications appear to favor
change in the wording of the amend
ment adopted late in the session of
1907, which has been interpreted both
literally and reactionarily. Indiscrim
mate opening of Episcopal pulpits at
this time is favored by none. and the
majority seem to favor taking away
any seeming liberty in this direction
the law permits.

SURROUND HOME OF .DElTZ
Special Deputies After Defender OF
Cameron Dam.

Winter, Wis, Oct. 5.-The special
DEPUTIES here are either drawing the
lines dangerously close about John r,
Deitz at Cameron dam or they are
raising a lot OF smoke from a small
blaze. The day has been full OF mys'
terious shiftings and quiet getaways
from town, although the only cas-
ualty was the temporary imprison'
:nent of George LuXton, newspaper
photographer.
A report percolating quietly through
Winter has it that the deputies have
decided to carry the war into Deitz'
own territory and that at this moment
half a dozen men are watching the
little cabin and are within killing dis.
lance of the shack.
Ii is also rumored that Sheriff Mad
den has entered the scene by buggy
or automobile from Hayward and that
he has assumed personal charge o.
his DEPUTIES at the cabin itself.
Fred Thorbahn, deputy in charge
in Sheriff Mike Madden's absence,
certainly showed determined activ'
ity and Roy Van Alstyne, his side
partner when Myra Deitz was shot
seemed to be shifting something up
the wind. Thorbahn telephoned and
telegraphed to Madden AT Hayward
while the town doZed like sleeping
cat. Suddenly the reason came out.
With no apparent reason men who
had been lOafing on the sidewalk ap-
peared with rifles. Van Alstyne
slipped around to the back of sa-
loon. from which buggy soon start
ed down the road leading to the Deitz
cabin. 1t carried three deputies. Van
Alstyne and another deputy started
walking down the railroad tracks,
which intersect the wagon road.
Thorbahn disappeared in the after.
noon. There are those in Winter who
say that Thorbahn and Van Alstyne
at least, who are particularly bitter
against Deitz, will not rest from now
on until they bag him. Ii the idea is
to shoot him down without warning
il can be done easily enough from the
woods surrounding his home.
