Colorado Springs, Colo, Sept l.
Indications that the railroad strike
situation would be unlikely to inter-
fere with the twenty round champion
ship bout here next Monday afternoon

White resulted in many seat reserva-

the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards.
Both Welsh and White trained
Thursday before capacity houses and
their fast work was awarded frequent
applause. Welsh is down to his fight

opponent is three-quarters of pound
heavier. What little betting that is
taking place locally has been at even

Preparations have been made for the

Conference Notes.
Continued From Page ~

conference Notes.
This is election year. The air of the
conference is more or less charged
with strong political current. When
the report of the committee on tenn
perance is read, it is expe cted that the
hid will be torn off, 1t is a question OF
considerable conjecture as to whether
the conference will pass resolutions
condemning the candidacy of the re-
publican gubernatorial nominee, w. l.
Harding. There will be strong ef
fort made to have these resolutions
passed as temperance measure
There will also be- considerable oppo
sition from those who feel that the
republican party is essentially dry and
that it will serve the best interests Of
the state to support that party, par
ticularly in view of the fact that H.
NJ Havner, lay member of the con.
ference and candidate for attorney
general. is one Of the strongest dry
men who could have been selected.
The local church Is anxious as to
what the conference will do with the
pastor. Rev Thomas Osborn. Every
member is strongly DESTROYS of his re-
turn. The official board by Unanimous
action requested his return and
Thursday committee consisting Of
w. F. Kopp, c. o. Rogers and H. L..
McGrew waited upon the bishop to
urge in no uncertain terms that Dr.
Osborn be returned here If possible.
The church, always strong, has been
greatly strengthened during Dr. o.
born's four years Of service. The mem
bership alone has been increased by
over one hundred and sixty.
All indications would point to Wash.
ington as the town selected for the
next seat of the conference A strong
delegation from that city is on hand
and has presented unanimous invi-
tation from the official board of the
Methodist church of that city asking
that the conference come there next
year.
A special feature Of the conference
that is attracting wide attention is the
fifteen minute organ recital given be-
fore the opening of each service. This
is in charge OF e. John Richards, the
organist Of the local church.
