Says It Is Loyal to Ameri-
can Ideals.
GAVE NO GUILTY CHAPLAIN

Rev. DR.. Lauritz Larsen. secretary
of the National Lutheran Council
has addressed a letter to Senator
Overman, chairman of the subcommlt-
tee of the judiciary committee 1nves'
tigating German propaganda. stating
the side of the church in connection
with recent charges that certain pas
tors of that denomination had not
been fully loyal during the war. Dr
Larsen in his communication says the
Lutheran Church is thoroughly Amer
lean and cannot justly be associated
in the mind of any person with any
un-American act.
The letter of DR.. Larsen is Endorsed
by Rev. DR.. D. H. Steffins. chairman
and Rev. DR.. J. Frederic Wenchel

tee. These officials declare that they
speak for the entire Lutheran Church
in America.
DR.. Larsen said testimony given be-
fore the committee made it appear
that a Lutheran chaplain had been
tried for treason and found guilty
This, he said. was an error. The only
chaplain tried for treason was mar
with a German name, but not asso-
ciated with the Lutheran denomina-
ton.
Not State Church of Prussia.
Moreover, DR.. Larsen contends thai
the Lutheran Church is not the state
church of Prussia. He said his demon.

cerned, was an ecclesiastical rebel

 Representative Mondell, of Wyom- ing, is fostering a measure to add about 6O,00O acres of Wyoming public land south of the park to the Yellow stone reservation. There are very few homesteaders on this land and it is believed their claims can be ad- justed without difficulty.
 The tract is as beautiful, it is said as any part of the Yellowstone re- zion and this is the leading reason for the desire to add it to the park. Lofty mountains, many of them cov- cred with dense forests, rise from this land Great praihies, which once were deserts, stretch forsmiles. Hun dreds of striking buttes whose cran- nies furnishes hiding places and fortl- fications for Indians, and robbers, and fugitives, to the country.
 Grand Teton Mountain and Mount Moran are included in the proposed addition but Jackson's Hole is per- haps the best known spot. Again and again, in pioneer days, Indians flash ed into this depression and disap- peared. Bad men learned the secrets of the Hole and often they got there a few horse jumps ahead of their pursuers. As late as 1914, the crags echoed to the clatte of hoofs and the whine of bullets. On July 29, of that year, two bandits held up IS Yellow stone Park coaches and after robbing more than one hundred tourists, es- capped to the Hole. Soldiers search ed and searched and found nothing.

 HITS OPEN SWITCH.

Hope, June 3.-Two trainmen were instantly killed, and twenty passen- gers injured, many severely, when Missouri Pacific fast train No. 2, the Sunshine Special" north bound, ran into an open switch at Chelsea, three miles north of here this morning at 1 o'clock. The engine and five coaches left the track. The dead are Engineer Charles Derringer, Little Rock, and Fireman A. Walker, Tex arkana.
 The train making 50 miles an hour when the wreck occurred. It is be- lieved that the switch was thrown open purposely to catch troop train, as No. 8, south bound, had passed only about 10 minutes before.
