Elected Department President.

At the encampmelt of the ladies
of the G. A. R. at Mason City last
week, Mrs. Mary J. Couse of this
city was honored with being elected
department president. She has been
an active worker and officer in this
organization for several years and
her services are rewaded by giving
her the highest office in the gift of
the state department.
In the Encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic, the name of
l.. l.. Caldwell was withdrawn as a
candidate for commander before the
matter came to a vote. Mr.. Cad
we'll was called to Sparta, Wis.,, by
the death of his only sister, and was
unable to be there to look after his
candidacy, so that it was thought
best to withdraw his name. Gen.
G.. Nj. Dodge of Council Bluffs was
elected delegate-at-large to the ma
tional encampmelt at Los Angeles
and L. l.. Couse of this city his al
ternate. j. ID. Brown of Leon was
elected department commander of
the G. A. r., Mrs. Fox of Muscstine
department president of the Womans
Relief Corps and Mr.. Brown of Wat
erloo department commander of the
Sons of Veterans.

TO UNITE LUTHERANS.
Movement Has Almost Unanimous
Approval in Various Church
Meetings.

For a number of years past the
question of reuniting the Norwegian
church organizations in America has
been under serious discussion among
The differences between them have
been so slight, and the possibilities
in effectiveness and in economy of
operation to be brought about by
such union, so great, that they have
caused the thinking men of the Or
ganizations to take steps looking to-
ward the consummation of the de-
sired union.
For more than thirty years these
churches have been divided upon
practically one thing, the wording of
the doctrine of predestination. Re-
Gently three meetings of joint COM
mittees representing the organiza-
tions have been held, consisting of
five pastors from each organization,
the last at Madison, Wis.,, which on
Feb. %, 1912, signed an agreement
and offered report on this question
looking TO an agreement and reun-
ion between the two bodies. The
adoption of this report, it was be-
leved, would remove the only bar
to organization.
The United Lutheran church gen.
eral convention was held recently
at Fargo, n. D., and voted to ap-
prove the report of the committee
and the union of the churches with
only one dissenting vote in over a
thousand The general synod of the
Norwegian Lutheran church does not
meet this year, but at the district
meetings already held, the question
has carried practically unanimously.
The first district at Willmar, Mimi,
week before last, and the eastern
district at lola, Wis, unanimously
voted for it, and at the Iowa dis
trict in Glenwood last Friday the
vote was 101 for to 15 against. The
Dakota district will meet at May
Vile, n. D., next week and the Pa
cific district the first of July, and
there is little doubt that they will
help to make it unanimous. The
Hauge church convention at Red
Wing. also voted in favor of the re-
port and the union, so that it now
seems that it is but question of
time when these organizations will
be united in the largest Norwegian
church organization in the world.

WELLS-PALZER MATCHED.
White Hopes Agree to Fight at Gar
den on June % if No Injunc-
ton Prevents.


Billy Gibson, manager of the Gar
den A. c., yesterday announced that
he had matched Bombardier Wells
of England and AL Palzer for ten
round fight at Madison Square Gar
den, A. c. on June 2S. Mr.. Gibson
did not, however, say that there was
& string to the match, but the string
is there just the same.
AS stated in The Morning TeIe-
graph yesterday, the difference exist
ing between Palzer and his manager,
Tom O'Rourke, may be adjusted--in
fact will have to be-before the sche-
duled fight can take place. They
nope to arrive at an understanding
with the aid of a court decision in
day or two. Palzer has been told,
and perhaps believes, that his con-
tract with O'Rourke is void, but
O'Rourke is advised to the contrary.
Palzer, naturally anxious to know
just where he stands, will bring o.
Rourke into court within few days
and try to get a decision on the val
idity of the contract between he and
O'Rourke. If the court decides that
the pact is binding Palzer will fight
Wells at the Garden on June 2S un-
der O'Rourke's management. lie
signed an agreement to this effect
yesterday and is supposed to have
posted $1,000 with Billy Gibson as
guarantee that he will keep faith
with the Garden A. c.
If the court decides that the con-
tract is not binding there is of course
left to Mr.. O'Rourke the right to ap-
peal and also the right to ask for an
injunction restraining Palzer and
the club--the former from fighting
and the latter from staging the fight
or at least paying over to Palzer
any money until the higher courts
could pass on O'Rourke's appeal. If
the court decides that O'Rourke's
view is correct PalZer's agreement
with the club and his forfeit of ST.
600 would make him fight unless he
decided to quit the game altogether
or face charges before the State Ath-
letic Commission for failure to keep
his contract with the Garden A. G.
At any rate the entire matter is
nearing settlement, and that is
what the sporting public wants. If
the matter is adjusted and Palzer
fights Wells on the twenty-eighth
and wins he has been promised a
fight at the same club with Luther
McCarty, who only recently knocked
out Carl Morris.
A small fortune is offered by the
Garden A. G. for the Wells-Palzer
fight and every effort will be made
to stage 1t as scheduled on June 2S.
The whole thing appears to hinge ON
the legal proceedings planned by
Palzer this week, and possibly by la
ter legal action by Tom O'Rourke.
Palzer began training yesterday
at Staten Island. Wells is at Rye
New York Telegraph.

Controlling the Situation.

One year, when the youngsters of
a certain Illinois village met for the
purpose of electing captain of their
base ball team for the coming sea-
son, it appeared that there were a
number of candidates for the post.
with more than the usual wrangling.
Youngster after youngster pre-
sented his qualifications for the post: I:
and the matter was, still undecided
when the son of the owner of the
ball field stood up. He was a small.
snub-nosed lad, with a plentiful sup
ply OF freckles, but he glanced about
him with dignified air of controll-

Ireland Turns to "Potheen IS

Chicago Daily News:-'The large
increase made by Chancellor David
Lloyd-George's budget in the taxa
tion or whiskey has led to a wide
spread revival of the manufacture In
Ireland of the home distilled spirit
commonly called "potheen." With
a duty of more than $3.50 a gallon.
the temptation to dodge the excise
man Is irresistible and "potheen" is
Deing made not only for home use.
but for secret sale. The manufac-
ture Is particularly prevalent in the
northwest, where within the last few
months the police have captured $50
illicit stills. "Potheen" is much
stronger than the ordinary whiskey
of commerce and the increase in its
manufacture is provoking protests
from the clergy"
The situation in Ireland may be
compared to that in certain parts of
the United States. 1t is apparent
