A Famous Old Church.

The oldest protestant organization
in the northwest, the First Presby-
terian church of Minneapolis. will
pass it's eighty-fourth milestone to-
day. 1t was on June IL, 1885, that
a meeting was held at Fort Smelling
to found Presbyterian church. Ma
ior Gustavus Loomis, afterWard
commander at Fort Smelling, II. II.
Sibley. fur company agent; Sam
uel w. Pond, who built the first
dwelling house in the county con-
tanning Minneapolis, and A. G, Hug
gins, were chosen elders of the in
FAINT church. The Rev. Thomas S.
Williamson officiated at the organi-
zation meeting. The name and loca-
tion of the church were changed sew
eral times, but the present First
Presbyterian Church of Minneapolis
is it's direct descendant. When the
Presbyterians organized at Fort
Smelling. the name of Minneapolis
was unknown. The village did not
receive that name until 1862. and
had been previously called All Saints
Albion and Lowell In the inscrip-
ton on the old bell of the First
Presbyterian church, the gift of j
Wadsworth of Buffalo, the name OF
the little town is spelled "Minniop
oils" The Flour City's neighbor
st. Paul, owes its name and origin
to another church. In 1S41 Father
Lucian Galtieb erected log-chaHe
and dedicated it to ST. Paul. A vii
lage grew up about the church ant
took it's name, and in 1S49, when i
had no less than eighteen houses, st
Paul was incorporated as town.

Lawyer Finds Loophole
In Prohibition, He Says
Clients Will Be Open by Janu-
ary I, He Predicts, but Con-
ceals Clew i'm Parallels

John j. KUHN, who is lawyer at 115
Broadway, announced yesterday that he
had discovered for clients of his way
to sell liquor without breaking tho law.
The clients would be selling liquor by
January l. he declared, and all other
liquor dealers, seeing how easy it is,
would do the same. The basis of the
scheme, he said, was to be found in
flaws in the law. He explained the
whole thing in parallels, as follows
"There was once case against a
certain dealer. The import duty on
goods of a certain material was very
high. By running string of wool
through every bale of this material the
goods came in at low customs rate.
"There was another case, where the
customs charges on set gems were high.
A firm imported it's necklaces by taking
the strings out and bringing them
across as unset jewels, at lower rate.
"There was a case where the duty on
firearms was high, and sporting goods
firm imported the grips on one vessel,
barrels on another, triggers on another,
and obtained all by a light customs
payment"
Mr.. Kuhn declined steadfastly to be
more specific.

Insurance Firm
Posts Reward for
Slayer of Maid
Copies of Bloody Finger
prints Left by Brooklyn
Jewel Robber Sent Out;
Police Suspect Amateur

Five hundred dollars reward is of
fered by The Globe Indemnity Com
pany for the apprehension of the
criminal who murdered Catharine
Dunn, the twenty -year-od maid,
in the home Of Clarence S. Clark, 1146
Kenmore Place, Brooklyn, and stole
$4,000 worth Of jewelry Saturday.
The offer was made yesterday by A.
Duncan Reid, president Of the COM
pany with Offices at AS William Street.
The police were asked to make the Of
fer public by Hugh i. McCann, a solici-
tor for the company. McCann declared
that the Globe Indemnity Company had
insured the Clark jewclry for $500.
but that the reward is not offered for
the return of the jewelry, but for the
apprehension of the murderer. 1t was
explained that Mr.. Reid felt that the
murder was so brutal that every means
should be used for the capture of the
slayer
Bloody fngcrprints on a door knob
in the Clark house were declared by
the police yesterday to be the most i'm
portant clue to the murderer. Impress
slons of these prints have been photo
graphed and copies sent broadcast
throughout the country. SO far, it was
stated, the impression has not been
ldentlfled with any criminal known to
the police. If the murderer was an
old-timer, the authorities say, he will
eventually be caught through this clue
or the stolen jewelrv if he makes
an effort to dispose of it.
Nothing new has been learned Of the
tall man in short army overcoat"
who was seen by neighbors to enter
the rear door of the Clark house at
about the time Of the murder. After
careful study of the circumstances,
Captain of Detectives Arthur Carey
was inclined TO believe that the crime
was committed by some one who was
acquainted with Miss Dunn and who
had learned Of the whereabouts OF the
vaiuables through innocent remarks let
fall by the maid Other detectives
think, however, that it vas the work of
an amateur and that no professional
thief would have done "job" of that
KIND at 8 o'clock in the morning.
Miss Marion Dunn, sister of the dead
girl, said: "The electric chair will be
too mild for the brute that killed nv
sister. My sister had no sutors. AS
a matter of fact, she had no men
trends whom she thought of seriously.
frequently, while visiting my sister, I
noticed workmen peering into the rear
windows. | cannot place my finger on
any clew that would lead to the appre-
henslon OF the criminal. | saw my sis
ter last Friday night, when we went to
the MOVIES together. ! kissed her good
night at 10:30 o'clock. That was the
last time saw her alive"

Paper Assisting Propaganda
Aimed to Crush u. S. Govt.
and Bring International
Rule, Postmaster Charges
Soviet Teachings Seen
Subtle Violence Alleged in
Reply to Petition for Re.
turn of Mailing Privilege
Neto York 7'ribuns
IT0abinHfo, P,.rrou


WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-That "The
New York Call" not only assisted dur
ing the war in organized propaganda
to help the enemies of the United
States, but even now is assisting in
propaganda calculated to overthrow the
government of the United States and
OF other nations Of the world and
substitute therefor an international
communist government, is the charge
made by Postmaster General Albert S.
Burleson. The allegation is contained
in a reply filed to-day to a petition
for mandsmus made in the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia by
that paper in an effort to have it's
second class mailing privileges re-
stored.
"The Calls" second class privileges
were revoked October 13, 1917, Mr..
Burleson declared, because it ''persis-
tently and f1agrantly violated the
espionage act Of June Is, 1917, as
amended, and Section 211 of the Crimi-
nal Code, adopted March q, 1911. On
January 8, 1919, "The Call" filed re-
quest for renewal Of second class privi-
leges. On December 5. 1919, this re-
quest was refused. The. reason for
this, the reply stated was that "The
Call' since the armistice has in no
wise changed its policy and is still a
violator of the two acts mentioned
through assisting world wide Boil
shevlst propaganda.
Section Emphasized
Section of Title XII of the espion-
age act is particularly mentioned. 1t
provides that "every letter. writing
circular, postal card, picture, print,
engraving, photograph, ewspaper
matter or thing of any kind contain
ing matter advocating or urging trea-
son, insurrection or rorcible resistance
TO any law of the United States is
hereby declared to be non-mailable."
Section 211 of the Criminal Code
makes non -mailable matter Of a char
acter tending to incite arson, murder
or assassination" and forbids the same
TO be conveyed in the mails or dellv-
cred from any postoffice Or bv any
letter carrier.
To-day's reply by the Postmaster
General gives a complete history Of
"Tho Calls" case.
For three months before "The Calls"
second class privileges were withdrawn,
the reply states, the issues of the
paper were examined in connection with
ian organized propaganda to discredit
and impede in every way the govern
ment in the prosecution of the war"
"The Call" was found to be among a
number Of publications so engaged, the
reply continued, and was therefore
barred from the mails For a time fol-
lowing this "The Call" sent out some
OF its issues as first and third class
NATTER
No Change, Reply Says
