house today by Representative Dali
linger, republican, of Massachusetts.
During debate on the Indian ap-
preparation bill, Mr.. Dallinger de-
clared the reason the Indian was

justice was done.
"And this is not the only depart
ment OF the government of which
this is true" he asserted. "The boys
say and their parents say" he con-
tinued, that the only reason hun
dreds of thousands of soldiers are
not discharged Is because the Off
GERS want to hold their jobs. Many
reserve officers today are earning
more money than they ever did be-
fore or ever will again; there are Of
hcers in the regular army now hold

higher rank. 1t is an outrage to
keep soldiers in service when they
are needed at home"

BAPTISTS ASK
E enforcement
OF PROHIBITION
Pass Resolutions to Have Con.
gress Ignore Recommended
ton Of President Wilson;
May Enlarge Budget.

Denver, May 23.-The Northern
Baptist convention late today
adopted a resolution asking con.
gress not to follow the recommen-
dation of President Wilson for the
repeal of wartime prohibition as it
affects wines and beer.
The resolution says the delegates
"have read with great surprise and
profound regret the recommends
tons of President Wilson in his
last message to congress that il
should rescind the wartime prohibi-
ton act insofar as it applies to wine
and beer"
The resolution points out that
with hundreds of thousands of boys
still in the army and navy who
should be protected against "evils
arising from the sale of intoxi.
cants," and with the food question
still acute" the considerations that
furnished the basis for the enact
ment of war prohibition still exist.
Possibilities that the budget pro-
posed by the laymen's survey COM
mitee for a five-year program of the
Northern Baptist convention might
be increased to approximately $685.
100000, instead of nearly $50,000,-
600, developed this afternoon when
the committee was instructed to pre-
pare a budget for "a state conven-
tons, to be included in the total
and the report was laid on the table
until the committee has completed
its estimates.

women be admitted to party men,
bership on an equality with men,

the question of party participation
of independent or organized woman
clubs, it was agreed that these Or
CARNATIONS should be given party
participation if recognized by the
state central bodies.
Temporary Organization Formed.
The temporary organization of
purely feminine political clubs was
recognized by the conference as nee
essary in the step toward the COM
plete absorption Of the women vot-
ers within the party membership.
However, it was agreed that these
organizations should be only tempo
rary.
All states, except Mississippi and
Texas, were represented by women
at the conference.

Possession Of -Four
Alien Estates Denied
by Judge Rothgerber

Denver, Colo, May 23,-The de-
mand of the alien property GUS
todian for the possession of four
estates now being probated in the
Denver county court, in which the
benehciaries of the estates are
residents of Germany, was denied
today by Judge Ira Rothgerber on
the grounds that even in wartimes
the constitution of the United States
does not confer upon congress the
right to take away state rights
granted under the constitution.
The demand of the alien property
custodian for the possession of the
estates was based on the provisions
of the trading with the enemy act
which, it was claimed, authorized
him to take possession of property
after it was determined that it be-
longcd to alien enemies.
Notice that an appeal would be
taken to the United States supreme
court was filed by the representa-
tive of the alien property custodian.

Thieves Flag Freight
Train and Take Many
Auto Tires From Cars

A thousand or more dollars
worth of automobile tires was
stolen from a merchandise car in
the Northwestern yards in Council
Bluffs late Thursday night. Rail-
road and police detectives asked
that no publicity be given it at the
time.
The freight train was held up
about O'Clock Thursday morning
as it was approaching the Union
Pacific transfer. Half a dozen red
lights were strung along the track,
and when the conductor and train
crew went forward to investigate,
after the train was brought to a
sudden stop, they found nothing but
the red lights. They were strung
half mile down the track and it
took several minutes to investigate.
The delay gave the thieves all the
time needed to break into the car
containing the tires and get a
truck load of them. One report is
that about 80 were taken. The
lanterns used are identified as rail-
road property, stolen from the sup
ply department.

Needless to say, with such an

the Sunrise in the Alps" and the

have the star part, closing with the
inspiring march of the Swiss SOL
diers, which is familiar to everyone.
The harp solo by Henry ]. Will

appreciated, and brought "The Harp
That Once Through Tara's Halls"
as all encore. The two dances from
the Nutcracker Suite" by Tschai-

in character, and played with a re-
markable lightness which assured
the listeners that it was really
