Scenes from Passion Play of Oberam-
morgan Given at the Rhode.
: Kenosha people have heard many
lectures and seen many pictures of the
famous Passion Play Of the little Ba-
vari&n City Of Oberammergau, but the
Ellsworth pictures shown at the Rhode
Opera House on Monday evening prov
ed a revelation in picture programs to
Kenosha people. The pictures taken
by Mr.. Ellsworth during his twelve
summers at the little Bavarian city are
wonderful in their detail and colored
with such care to bring out the real
design of the play that altogether
they make a very pleasing exhibit of
the wonderful play. On account of the
hot weather and the many other at
fractions on Monday evening only a
small crowd saw the pictures, but it is
expected that there will be larger
crowds at the presentation of them
this evening and Wednesday afternoon
and evening.

Kenosha Automobile Club Asked te
Have Part in Annual Run

Members of the Kenosha Automobile
Club have been invited to enter their
cars for the annual run of the Chicago
Motor Club to be held late in Septem-
Der and the run promises to be the
most interesting thing of the kind ever
arranged in this section. The route
will include a trip about Lake Mich
gan stopping at all the principal cities
on both sides of the lake. Kenosha
will be the first control of the auto
mobiles. The pathfnding car will leave
Chicago on Thursday morning and the
men in charge of the outlining of the
route for the annual run will stop
over in Kenosha long enough to extend
a personal invitation to the Kenosha
Club to take part. The arrangements
for the run promise to make it decid-
edly attractive and motor clubs in all
the cities to be visited are arranging
to entertain the visitors. 1t is thought
that the entire trip will take about ten
days. Officers of the Kenosha Club
are hopeful that ten cars can be Sc
cured from Kenosha to make the trip
about the lake.

TIGHT SKIRTS ARE BLAMED
Extreme Apparel of Girls Visiting
Militia Camp Held Responsible
for Alleged Insults.

Camp DOuglas.-The soldiers in
volved in the reported drunken orgy
among state troops in the recent
army maneuvers have set up an I'M
usual defense. They contend that
the close fitting, modish gowns OF
the young women who claim to have
been insulted were so extreme in
style and of such a character as to
make the soldiers suppose they were
in the same class with the disorderly
women who lowered about the
maneuver camp.
The official Investigation into the
affair is being conducted secretly and
newspaper correspondents with the
two armies agree that the investiga-
tion so far has shown no such orgies
as were described.
The Investigators were able to
find no specific case of an attack on
a woman, but there were many
women of bad character in the vicin-
lty OF the camps, and the nearest ap-
proach to attacks on women thus far
discovered were remarks addressed
to country girls who came to see the
soldiers. In these cases the soldiers
say the girls were dressed in such
a way that they supposed the girls
were part of the other group OF
hangerS-On.

DEPOSE DR.. LESTER
FOR WRITING BOOK
Bishop Webb Dismisses Former
Milwaukee Divine.
IDEAS CALLED HERETICAL
Well Known Episcopal Clergyman,
Author of 1.-The Historic Jesus"
Removed at Own Request-Revok-
ing Of Vows Causes Surprise.

MilWaukee.-The Rev. DR.. Charles
Stanley Lester, for more than twenty
one years rector of st. Paul's Episco-
pal church in this city and one of the
best known clergymen of his denom-
ination in America, has been formal
ly depOsed from the ministry by
Bishop w. w. Webb as a result of
his books and pamphlets on theo-
logical subjects, which were deemed
contrary to church policy by the au-
thorities of the Episcopal church.
His deposition, it is said, came at
his own request, and though formal
action was taken by Bishop Webb on
May rs, news Of this radical action
did not become known except to the
clergy until Thursday.
The reasons for his dismissal from
the ministry are given as his writings
against the Christian church and the
recent publication of a book which
1t is held to be contrary to the teach
1ngs of every church, "heretical,
fanatlcal and agnostic to all the re-
hgious principles and teachings Of
the Christian church of the world. :"
"The Historic Jesus which is the
title of the book, is an attack ON the
church of Christ in general and is the
result of many years of study and
research into the history of the Chris
tian church. 1t has had a tremen-
dous sale all over the world since it's
publication two years ago and has
been received by atheists and nonbe-
levers as true portrayal of the con-
ditions existing in the church of
Christ ever since it's founding.

progressiveness in Colonel Roose-
velt's speech will be adopted in the
platform.
There are two or three of the more
radical ideas, however, which may
| not be included. Colonel Roosevelt,
it was said, would not object to the
elimination of a few proposals, but is
insistent that all the rest shall be
contained in the platform upon which
he is to run.
Soon after the committee met the
draft of tentative platform was pre-
scented by a group of leaders in the
new movement, who had met several
times to discuss the matter The
draft was said to express the COM
bined ideas of Dean Lewis of the law
school of the University of Pennsyl-
vania; Dean Kirchway of the law
school of Columbia University; Gift
ford Pinchot, Chester Rowell of Cali
fornia, Charles Mccarthy, and other
progressives.
1t was 1927 p. m. when Senator
Dixon named former Senator Albert j..
Beveridge, of Indiana, as the temporary
chairman and named Governor John
son, of California, Governor Vessey, Of
South Dakota, Governor Carey, of Wy
oming, and Senator Funk, of Illinois,
as committee to escort Beveridge to
the platform. Beveridge then deliv-
cred the keynote" address of the day.
Contesting negro delegates from
Florida and Mississippi were barred
from the Progressive convention by
the national committee. The contests
were decided at a stormy executive
session of the committee that lasted
for three hours just before the con-
vention met.
While the committee deliberated,
the negroes gathered in the corridors
outside the committee room and
raised voices in indignant protest.
When the decisions were made known

Chicago, Illinois. - When the COM
mittee adjourned after midnight it
was said that a new basis of repre-
sentation had been adopted.
1t is a radical departure from the
accepted basis of representation in
national conventions. 1t is planned
that in future national conventions,
instead of seating a delegate from
each congressional district and one
for each United States senator, there
shall be one delegate from each dis
trict and an additional delegate for
each 10000 votes cast in the previous
election for the national Progressive
ticket.
The plan is designated to prevent
the existence within the new party OF
conditions such as have obtained
within the old parties, whereby sec
tons of the country in which the par
ties have little or no strength are
represented in the conventions on the
same basis as the strong Republican
or Democratic states.
Colonel Roosevelt contends that the
Republican delegates from Southern
states, in which the party has only a
| nominal existence, were used in the
national convention last June to de
| feat the wishes of the party in the
strong Republican states as expressed
| at the primaries.
