going back to the original trouble in
which DIR. J. l. Lowe was accused
with drunkenness on March G, 1918,
concerning which the chairman Of
the Board had never had any direct
information, but which was talked
over on the ground at Wherefore
University last June until the
Bishops thought it necessary to send
"a committee of investigation to
Philadelphia to find out the truthful
ness Of it. That committee consist
cd of Bishops Chappelle, Smith and
Hurst. The meeting was called for
August 18TH and met accordingly be-
tween the hours, of ten and eleven
O'Clock, with Bishop ChapDelle as
chairman, and the following Is taken
from the minutes of that meeting:
The Managers attention was then
invited to the rumors affecting his
character as a minister Of the church
to the effect that he had been seen
drunk in and out of the office, and
that he had even been arrested for
drunkenness at one time. He denied
positively that he had ever been
drunk or arrested for 1t. He stated,
however, that perhaps the .rumor
that he had been arrested for drunk
enness was due to the fact that some
time last March while out attending
to some official business he was at
tackled with vertigo and was taken to
the hospital. When questioned more
closely by a committee ne said that
when he rallied from his indisposi-
ton he found himself in a place that
did not look like a hospital, but
rather like an Office of some kind
Professor Wright was called be-
fore the committee and questioned as
to whether or not he had ever seen
the Manager under the influence OF
liquor or acting as If he we're. The
Editor answered that he had never
seen the Manager in such condition
nor acting as if he were under such
an influence, nor had he ever seen
him enter places where liquor Is
sold. When asked what he himself
believed regarding such rumors as

he said that he could not tell, but
others having closer relationship
with the Manager than himself might
be able to tell When asked who
were those persons, he said employees
of the house.
The following employees were sum
moned before the Committee, each

Mr.. Gould, Mr. John Bosley and Mr.
Clarence Curtis. Each was Their
closely examined by the Committee
to find out, first, whether the Man
ager was ever seen drunk or ever
seen drinking liquor in the Book Con
Germ or ever arrested for drunken
ness. Each one of them positively
denied that they had any knowledge
of any Of these things and such was the
apparent accord and agreement between
their answers to the Committees ques

Mrs. Earl German, who resides on
West First street, was the victim
Friday evening of a severe scare.
Mrs. German and Mrs. Harry S. Nye

gargational church and were return
ing home when a block this side of
the German home they met man
dressed in long coat, presumably a
rain or overcoat, with his hat pull
ed down over his eyes SO that his
face was not visible. He acted
strangely, not giving the ladies their
share OF the walk when they passed
him Nothing was thought of it at
the time, although the long coat was
noticed, but shortly afterwards the
man was seen on the other side Of
the street, a light in a neighbours
house showing him plainly. He was
also noticed at this time by the lady
across the street from Mrs. Germans.

The Webster City Base Ball Team
Take the Visitors Down the
Line to the Tune Of
10 to2.
CONTEST IS WELL ATTENDED
Coffin Pitched for Locals and Proved
to be Same Star as Last
Season.

At the ball game Friday after
noon at Athletic Park, the. White
Sox drubbed Stanhope by score of
10 to 2. The game was interesting
in one way and that was in watch
ing the Sox run bases. The game was
we'll attended and the crowd was
well pleased in seeing the Sox pound
out fifteen hits off Kaufman. The
Stanhope pitcher had gotten little
chesty over winning a game from
the Sox week ago and really had
the idea that the Sox would allow
him to win again, but this was ask
ing rather too much. Stanhope had
gathered a number of stars but they
were rather dim. Coffin, who pitch
ed for Webster City, proved to be
the same old star as of last year
when he played in this city, letting
Stanhope down with five hits. The
game was broken up by Moose when
three men ahead of him In the first
inning scored when he pounded one
over the west fence for a homer A
home run again in the sixth by
sucher discouraged stanhope, as the
Sox seemed to be able to hit at most
any time.
Following is the summary Of yes
terday's game:

Although the above songs, togeth-
