BIBLE GIVES THEM CHURCH
Judge Decides Controversy Among Ice
Iandic Lutherans.

Judge Decides Controversy Among Ice
Iandic Lutherans.
That the so called liberals of the
1celandic Lutheran church have de-
parted from the original teachings of
the denomination is the holding of
Judge G. F. Templeton of Grand Forks
in the now famous Icelandic church
contest, involving the church, both in
the United States, Canada and Ice
land.
BY this decision Judge Templeton
holds that the so called conservative
element had retained the teachings of
the Bible, as laid down, and that they
are entitled to church properties in
cases where there have been divisions
Of congregations.
The fight involves more particularly
a small church property in Pembina
county, this state, but has a bearing
on the entire denomination.

District Expects Contes-
! sion in Dynamite Cases.
MILLER AND HARDING CONFER
Prosecutor and Counsel for Accused
Union Officials Have Long Ses-
sion at indianapolis.

indianapolis. Feb. Examinations
were said to have been received by
the government that some of the de-
PENDANTS in the dynamite conspiracy
cases We're preparing ito tell all they
know"
The statements followed the govern
nent's charges that 10000 letters and
kilograms taken from the I%nternation-
al Association Of Bridge and Struc-
tural Iron Workers showed that Frank
M. Ryan, president; Herbert S. Hoe
kin, second vice president, and mem.
bers of the executive board and bust
ness agents conducted the dynamite
plots through the mail, pointed out
Jobs" to be blown up and maintained
a system Of destruction against non
union iron and steel contractors.
Asked if any negotiations had been
opened with him concerning the de-
PENDANTS United States District Attor-
ney Charles W. Miller said:
Il wouldn't be surprised if it is
shown soon that something like that
had happened"
W. N. Harding, counsel for Ryan and
the international officials of the iron
workers, held a long conference with
MI. Miller, but it was not disclosed
what was considered.
Concerning the letters quoted in the
Indictment Mr.. Ryan said:
ct is unfair for the government to
draw conclusions that those letters
were written to promote crime. If any
person reads all of them he will see
that they refer only to legitimate
means of inducing contractors to
unioniZe their works."
Letters Confederate McManigaI.
Ortie E. McManigal's confession as
TO the dynamiting he did under the
direction Of j. j. Mcnamara is said by
District Attorney Miller to be corrobo-
rated by the letters embraced in the
indictment charging acts of conspiracy.
Ryans letter written from New York
in 1910 is cited in the Indictment as
showing he instructed Henry W. Leg
l~eitner, now of Denver, to do certain
"jobs;" John T. Butler, the first vice
president of the union, to do "jobs'
at Buffalo and Rochester, N. Y;
Hockin to do Jobs at Cleveland, De-
troit, Davenport, Ia, and CINCINNATI;
Paul j. Morrin, st. Louis, to do a Job
at Mount Vernon, ILL.,, and Frank G..
Webb of New York to do Jobs" at
Worcester, Mass.
The indictments charging "consum-
mated" or completed conspiracies al
1ege that the LOB" at Mount Vernon,
ILL.,, vas dynamited on the night of
April 10; that the Davenport Job
under construction by the company
referred to by Ryan, was dynamited
June 4; that the Peoria Job" was
rdynamited June 4; that the Cleve.
land Job" was dynamited June %;
that the Pittsburg Job" was dynamit,
ed July Is; that a bridge was dyna.
mited at Kansas City Aug. %.
Because McManigal was the most
active agent of the dynamiters, though
Hockin, as the indictment charges,
was a close second, the government
will rely largely upon his testimony
Tor corroborative evidence at the
trials" he added.

Curious Uses of LIQUID Air.

As motive power for operating au-
tomobiles and motorboats liquid air is
superior to the electric storage battery
since 1t requires no tedious waiting for
the process of recharging and it deliv.
ers more than double the power of the
former. with half the weight. Gasoline
Is not in the same class with liquid
air, for the latter emits no noxious
odors nor is there any danger of explo
sions. As refrigerant there is no
source of cold like liquid air, Other
than operating automobiles and serv,
ing as refrigerant there is hardly a
thing the human mind can think Of
that liquid air cannot do, from provid-
ing magical entertainment to the pro-
duction of continuous power Yet there
Is lacking process by which It can be
produced cheaply enough to compete
with other sources of motive forces
now in use.--Leslie's. ..-

TIMELY HINTS \
FOR farmers
Provide Plenty of Salt.

All farm animals have an instructive
craving for salt. But If 1t Is so placed
as to be always withln their reach they
will consume just rs much as they
need and no more. 1t is only when IT.
has been kept from them for long
period that there is danger Of their eat
ing too much 1t Is therefore an ex-
cellent practice to keep it in box or
boxes where they can have access IN
It whenever they desire. When they
are sailed. as is the practice with many
farmers, only once a week, while some
may get enough. others may suffer
from n deficient supply. Salt promotes
an active circulation of the blood,
which never becomes thick and slug
gish so long as the supply Is rlenti
full. It assists digestion and Is often II
preventive of disease. 1t is so cheap
that no stock raiser can really afford
to deny to his animals all they want
of It.

Liuht Without Heat.

M. Dussand. well known as French
scientist, claims to have produced light
without heat, feat easily performed
by the glowworm. but one to which
human ingenuity has so far proved I'M
equal. When man produces light he
produces heat also, with the result that
a large amount of energy is wasted In
the production of something that is not
needed. Light is produced by the visi
BILE spectrum-that is to say, by the
visible color scale from violet to red
Heat is produced by the Invisible color
scale, that lies below the red NJ. Dus-
sand claims to have found material
that has the peculiar property of emit
ting the visible rays of the spectrum
only, and there is no reason to disbe-
lieve that he has actually done so. Not
only does he cut off the dark heat pro-
ducing rays. but he avoids their pro.
duction altogether. -Argonaut
