CHURCH OPPOSED TO
VOTING BY MEMBERS
Brethren Think Suffrage Is Un-
cody and Also Condemn
Land Business.

st. Joseph, Mo-. June 5.-Several
train loads Of members arrived last
night and today to attend the worlds
conference of the Church Of the
Brethren and the high water mark
VIII be reached tomorrow, when ses-
sions will be conducted in the city
auditorium and two large theaters.
Two questions of paramount impor-
lance to be taken up early in the BUSH
ness sessions next yeek are those OF
members of the church voting and
acting as land agents.
In the past 1t has been the .ollcy
or the Brethren not to vote in cleo
tons, and the church never recon-
mended that members exercise the
right of suffrage. But lately many of
them have voted and a restatement Of
the position of the church may be
made.
1t is said much harm has been done
by Brethren ministers engaging in the
land business, which the standing
committee characterizes as considered
even by the world questionable vo-
cation"

AND LOSS IS HEAVY
liant Northwest, Valued at
$500, 900, Destroyed in
Buffalo Blaze.

Buffalo. ". T.. June 5.-The man,
moth lake passenger steamer North
west, owned by the Northern Steam
ship, company. was damaged to the ex-
tent Of nearly 100000 by fire early
today. Nothing but her steel hull re-
mains. Her sister ship Northland was
badly scorched. No one was injured.
Both steamers were at their dock in
this city being overhauled for the
season opening June q. The fire was
caused by an explosion of OIL. Four
watchmen narrowly escaped serious
injury and were able to get ashore and
turn In an alarm. When the fire tugs
arrived the Northwest was a mass of
flames and 1t was with difficulty the
Northland was towed out of danger.
1t is stated that the Northwest,
which piled between this city and Du-
luth, probably will be rebuilt. The
steamer was valued at nearly 81 900, 900,

Luverne. Mimi, June 5.--Judge L. S
Nelson, OF the district court. has just
lied his order In the case of Eller
jacobs VS.. John w. Dempster, in which
le finds for Mrs. Jacobs Oh all of the
ssues.
Last July Dempster obtained from
Mrs Jacobs, widow, aged 81, a deed
VI q valuable quarter section Of land
lear this city Dempster paid down
10 money whatever, but gave the
widow his note secured by q mort
rage on the land for $4,000, the note

912, or in 1862. He was to pay only
per cent interest on the mortgage
and $500 on the principal each year,
me first payment to. be made on March
|, 1912. The moment Mrs. Jacobs died
the note and mortgage were to be can
celled and Dempster was to have alb
solute possession Of the land.
AS soon as Mrs. Jacobs realized what
the deal in fact was, she employed
counsel to begin an action to get back
her land
1t appeared from the evidence that
Dempster had acted as adviser to Mrs.
Jacobs and that he had taken adyan-
tage of her ignorance of the value of
the land and of business methods to
get valuable farm for practically
nothing.
BY this decision Of the court pemp-
ster will be compelled to disgorge and
restore the coveted farm to the trust
ing widow.

Washington. June 6.--Co! Joseph
Earrard, U. s. A.. commanding the
cavalry post at Fort Myer, Va, today
was reprimanded by the secretary Of
war. under orders from President Taft,
for reporting adversely an application

aminations for promotion to COM
missioned grade on the ground of
Jewish parentage. II, president said
IT was hard to deal with the matter
with patience and without condemna. .
tory words that had better rot be
written"
The presidents action has created
sensation throughout Washington.
The young soldier involved in the con-
troversy Is Frank Bloom, a private in
Battery F, of the third field artillery.
and Is now on duty on the Mexican
border. Several years ago Bloom was
urged for appointment to West Point
President Roosevelt, not being in a
position at the time to mako the APP
pointment, suggested to Bloom that he
enlist, and, like a true American"
fight his way up from the ranks.
The young man took the advice en-
tered the army, where he Is said to
have made a good record, and recently
took his first examination for promo :
ton. It Is said that Bloom failed on this
examination, but in view of the preju-
dice brought about by the Colonel Gar
rard Endorsement Bloom will be ordered
up for final examination again in Sep
TENDER.
On this point, President Taft. in a
letter to Simon Wolf, OF this city, said:
II shall take steps to see that the
examination to which Private Bloom Is
subjected is one in which he will be
given fair chance. and not be ex-
posed to any unjust prejudice"
Race Question Raised.
Colonel Garrard's Endorsement on
Blooms papers to which President Taft
so strongly objected. were as follows:
"The applicant Is son of Mr., Jo-
seph A. Bloom, of Jewish persuasion,
who Is now. and has been for a num-
Der of years, a tailor at this post. His
associates, as far as know, and that
of his family have been with enlisted
men and their families and have been
respectable. The young man is I'M
doubtedly honest and upright, ambi-
tious and deserving, but for the rea-
sons stated, would not desire him in
my command as an officer, and a social
and personal associate.
THE presence Of the applicants FAM
lily at military post would be sub
servient Of discipline and their prob
able treatment a source of mortifica
ton to them and frequent cause of
trouble to commanding officers. From
an experience of many years, I have
found, except in q few cases, few
communities where Jews are received
as desirable social associates"

Stopped by Police.

Washington June 6.--Jacob Ruster-
holtz, a frail 72-year-old German
farmer, OF Crawford county, Iowa,
came to Washington this morning to
get President Taft to pay off the
mortgage on his farm. When Ruster-
holtz stepped out of Pennsylvania

men and five station police and half
a dozen district officers swarmed on
him and conducted him to a small
room In the south end of the station.
Five minutes later President Taft
passed along hallway bordering the
room on the way to his automobile.
The president was unconscious that
any one in the vicinity particularly
desired to see him, and Rusterholtz
has not yet learned that he really
got within 10 feet of the presidential
presence.
The mortgage on his fern was exc
cuted In 1896, and bears evidence that
interest has been paid for 16 years. 1t
Is in the sum of $4,000. The nearest
