BAN ON DANCING
IS NOT REMOVED
BY METH0D|sTS
Attempt to Relax Rule Against
Certain Forms of AmuSe-
ment Is Defeated in General
Conference Of Church,

Saratoga Springs, n. Y, May 90
! The penalty Of expulsion provided in
4 paragraph 27l Of the discipline of the
| Methodist Episcopal church fof
members who play cards, dance, at
tend the theater or engage in other
similar amusement will remain in eff
/ feet for another four years at least, as
! a result of the action taken today by
! the general conference. A nattempt
! by Chancellor James r. Day of SYRIA
cause to obtain the removal of the
prohibition failed by vote of 4S4 to
&c. The figures are almost identical
with those of four years ago when a
similar proposal was defeated.
Paragraph 27l of the discipline,
which Is the basic law of the church,
was enacted in 1872 and has re-
manned virtually without chance.
II has heen urged as a basis for re-
moyal that this section is never en-
forced. and that the specific warning
which is given in another part of the
discipline should be sufficient to con-
vince memters that the church
strongly disapproves of these diver
slons. The opposite contention has
always prevailed in the conference,
however, that by Withdrawal of the
penalty the church will indicate that it
faVors lifting the ban completely.
The balance Of voting power was
held today by the eighty or more rep
resentatives Of negro conferences, who
threw their support almost solidly
against any change. The foreign del
egates were about equally divided.
A majority Of the others, particu-
!arly from the eastern part of the
United states, voted for removal, al
though nearly every delegation was
split
The conference shut off all debate
by deciding to proceed with the vot-
ing as soon as Chancellor Day had
read the report of the minority ask
ing for change and Frank Neff, of
Tulsa, okla had read the opposing
recommendation
After long discussion the confer
ence voted not to elect successor 10

Chief Executive Tried to
DiScredit Administration of

New York, May 25.-Roman Cath
Ollie clergymen whose telephone wires
we're tapped during the investigation
Of charitable institutions. took the
witness stand today before the legs-
latiye committee headed by State
senator George f. Thompson, and
flatN denied the charges of Mayor
N itchel that they were involved in
n conspiracy to discredt the city adj
ministraton through attacks upon the
department Of charities.
They made the counter allegation
that the mayor played a prominent
part in conspiracy designed to dis
credit the administration of Catholic
orphanages. The priests asserted that
after discovering their telephones had
been tapped, they deliberately
planned to trap the mayor by pre-
arranged conversations and that they
were successful In their purpose. They
admitted that certain parts of the
overheard conversations which were
read to the committee yesterday by
Mr. Mitchell, but commended that the
language used much of which was
ungrammatical, was not theirs.
Conversation Was Planned
Whatever was said in conversations
about spiriting witnesses out of the
city to prevent them from appearing
before the charities investigating com
mittee, was deliberately planned to
dclude the mayor and his associates,
with the end in view of proving that
their telephones had been tapped. they
declared. The clergymen contended
that all they sought for the lnstitu-
tons in which they We're interested
was a square deal, which had not
been given thom.'
The witnesses who appeared today
were M0nsignor John j. Dunn, Mon

SPLENDID PICTURE TAKEN
OF TWELVE DEER

It is seldom person has a
chance to get very near the
wild game in this country, but
since the closed season on deer
they have become comparatively
tame.
W. H. DeGraff, the Washburn

tie Creek every day for a week
to take pictures. In last week g
issue we told of one taken which
included II deer. Last Satur-
day he took another picture.
There were IL deer in it and he
was closer to them SO considers
his last picture by far the best
he has taken. This picture was
put on the screen at the Hub
Monday night and was interest
ing to everyone.
Mr.. DeGraffs will continue,
trying to get some good pictures
as long as the high water keeps
the deer out of the woods.

est we have to contend with in
this country at the present time
and one in which every taxpayer
10 deeply interested. For years
past road building has been but,
one form Of graft, no definite OBJ
ject being in view except that.
Of satisfying a few farmers in
each locality in exchange for
few votes. This year however
the commissioners have evident
ly decided that roads are much
more important than votes and
to that end have started in at
the foundation of the thing, and
if the work is carried out as it
is now planned, we are going to
have some fine roads in this
county within reasonably short
time.
The first move Of the commits
sioners was to advertise for bids
for 3 gas tractors and road grad
ers. I. is intended to start
work as soon as spring opens up,
with these and grade as much as
possible in each of the three
commissioner districts. What
they should do is to have all the
work done on one contaimuous
road through the county first;
then when we have one good
main road the Lateral roads can
be built leading to it.
The gas tractor solves the
problem of cheap road building.
I'm R,rleigh county Last year five
trats,rs and graders were pur-
chased and put to work on the
road. ia miles Of road were
built in that county last year at
the average cost of $9O.3O per
mile. In 1914 Burleigh county
awarded turnpiking on contract
and it cost the county $165 per
mile. So Last year they made a
saving of $74.7O per mile maxi
ing the total saving to the count.
$12, ,997.8O which was more than
the total cost Of the equipment,
the equipment only costing them
$12, 1860. So Burleigh county
now has the road building equip
|ment free of cost to them at the
present time.-Max Enterprise.

They all counsel with him and
listen to- him.
''Mr. Nelson has not jumped
into prominence; he has grown
into it. His position has come
rather slowly from recognized
worth. 1t has come without his
seeking, but by devotion to-
what was right, and honest ard
worth while. He is to everyone
the sturdy Norseman;' but we
cannot help wishing with so
Pnany others that he had more
thoughtthlly chosen the date Of
his birth"

Home Talent Play
Help Public Library
Given By Young Folks Who Dis
played Talents Needed on
the Stage
ALL PARTS WELL TAKEN
The Sum Taken in Will be SufSs
ficient to Meet Expenses for
j. Several Months

The home talent play Square
With the World" that was put
on by local people last Wednesr.
day helped the Library fund to
the extent of $6O.O5. There are
some expenses to- be taken out
Of this fund but even then the
amount received is appreciated
|,by the members of the Tuesday
club who are backing the Library
The play was put on under the
management of Mike TeQefson
and it has been up hill work for
him as he has about all he can
manage without being a direc-
tor too. He took the part Of
Tony, convict who was the
principal actor in the play. Mike
took his part we'll and seemed
at home on the stage. Hugh Nc
Oulloch will no doubt carry the
name of Weary Wayside for
SOult C1Inc. 4At EAIUCVCu AAItO
the play with his whole heart
and caused Il laugh whenever
he appeared. Bill Fischer, the
william, took his part SO well that
he was not q faNorite with the
audience until his long black
mustache refused to stay in place.
Oliver Conrad, as social lead
er, made quite a stunning ap-
pearance on the stage. HIS
persistence in getting the lady
Of his heart seemed quite ma
tuual for him. Archie Nygaard
took two parts. He was the
warden and later a negro Rer-
want. The change of characters
did not seem to bother him in
the least. Floyd Satterlnnd was.
dignified judge. His height
hel ped him to carry out his part
in the play.
We do not mention the young
ladies last because they were
ove1shadowed by the men in the
play; not by any means. Ethel
King was just suited to the
part of the old maid but her
friends hope never to- see her in
such a "crabbie state. Ruth
Olson was a prim house servant
and had difficult part that
was we'll played. Grace Herred
was the winning daughter Of the
Judge upon whom all men cast
their attentions. She too took
her part remarkably well. Marie
Barrill was a handsome old lady
and seemed particularly fitted
for her part. &
It was a home talent play
where all did well and which
pleased -he large audience in at
tendance.
The specialties were all good
The High School orchestra
played before the show and be-
tween two acts. The male quar-
tette sang one song, Carl Fosa.
