DIVORCES MAY BE
Denied MATRIMONY
EPISCOPAL CHURCH TO DEBATE
QUESTION AT CONVENTION
In DETROIT

Detroit, Mich, Oct. 4.-Revision of
the book of common prayer of the
Episcopal church, adoption of new
canon touching church unity, and re-
vision of the canon on matrimony
are three of the most important mat
ters to be brought to the attention
of the delegates at the triennial con-
vention of the church that will open
here October 8. 1t is anticipated
that upwards of 5000 delegates and
many of the leading churchmen of
this and other countries will attend
the convention, which will last two
weeks or longer.
The proposed revision of the canon
of matrimony would make it impos-
sible for an Episcopal clergyman to
remarry divorced persons, even the
innocent party to a divorce. 1t has
been anticipated that this question
will provoke much debate. The pro-
posed new canon on church unity, it
is stated, would make it possible for
a minister of another communion to
be ordained in the Episcopal church
without first giving up his original
affiliation. The revision and mod
ernization of the prayer book is eX-
pected to take much of the time of
the gathering.

FRED PORTWOOD PLEAD GUILTY

in Vienna last Friday night because
he feared he was going to attack
him, and not by tremor of the hanG

that he realized he had done any
thing out of the ordinary, Fred Port

recommended. Portwood was repre-
sented by counsel in the person of
George Sherwood of Clark.
Stories of both attorneys and of
Portwood himself showed that the
shooting was the result of an argu-
ment over a girl, Miss Mary Flem-
ing, who was engaged to marry Grey
fogle. Greyfogle objected to remarks
he alleged Portwood had made about
her, but Portwood denied, both al
Vienna before the shooting and at the
hearing, that he said anything to hurt
the reputation of the girl. The at
torneys told the court that Greyfogle
stopped Portwood on the streets as he
left the hotel to get some change. A
brief argument followed, and Grey
fogle is said to have seized Portwood
by one shoulder and struck him on
the other. Portwood broke away
but lost his hat A little later he re.
turned for his hat.
The attorneys said Greyfogle re
newed the argument and asked Port

OMAHA'S RIOTERS
To BE PROSECUTED
GOV. McKELNIE Is DETERMINED
THAT WHITEWASH SHALL NOT
BE APPLIED

Lincoln, Neb., Oct 4.--Governor
McKelvie has gone to Omaha and will
stay there until he is convinced that
no further necessity exists for the
keeping of federal troops on the job.
These troops will remain, he said, un-
til it is certain that no further dan
ger of rioting exists. The governor
is rather wroth over the intimation
in various circles that the prosecu-
tions of the rioters will result in moth
ing One of his reasons for going to
Omaha and staying there is to see
that there is nothing attempted
which will make these prosecutions a
farce.
Reports received at the governors S
office indicate a rather nervous con-
dition on the part of the people of
Omaha and it is urged that troops
remain in charge indefinitely. The
assault of an unknown and uncaught
negro on white woman living on the
edge of the black belt has added to
this nervous condition of the people.
newspapers are Aot ooi0 " So
much news out of Omaha, and they
suspect that censorship of some
sort has been established. One story
that came in by word of mouth is to
the effect that several bodies of
negroes have been found in the black
belt, the supposition being that they
were victims of the Sunday night
rioting.

TWO CONDUCTORS
KILLED BY CARS
SWEET AND GALE, NORTHWEST-
ERN ROAD, MEET TRAGIC
DEATH

Hot Springs, Oct. ed. Sweet
and Robt. Gale, conductors in the
employ of the Chicago & Northwest
ern railroad, were crushed to death
at Smithwick when two sections of a
stalled train came together and
within a few minutes after being
taken from between the cars.
Both men were on freight runs.
Conductor Sweet wa sin charge of a
trainload of sheep consigned 10 Oma-
ha, and upon reaching Smithwick
with his train met a northbound
train, in charge of Conductor Gale,
which had become stalled near a
switch on the main line. A drawbar
had pulled out and teh freight had
been stopped to make repairs.
The two conductors went to work
on the repairs, Fastening TO get the
main line cleared, which was blocked
by the stalled train. They were
working between the severed sections
of the northbound train, claiming up
the drawbar and so fixing it that it
would be possible to move the train
to sidetrack in order to allow traf-
fic on the road to pass.
In some unaccountable manner
one of the several sections of the
stalled train moved, the severed ends
of the string of cars coming together
with crash, and without the slight
est warning
Both conductors weer caught be
tween the cars when they crashed to-
gether, and were so badly crushed by
the impact of the cars that they died
few moments after other trainmen
rushed to the scene of the accident
The stalled train was standing on
grade and it is thought some defect
in the airbrake released the pressure
of the brakes on the wheels and per-
mitted the car sto gain momentum
and crash into the section where the
/ two conductors were working.
Both men were exceedingly popu
/ lar and their tragic deaths hav'
caused a gloom in railroad circles
| An investigation will be made TO de
| termine what caused the cars Z

Little Need of
AmericanizatiOn There


Mitchell, Oct. 4.-There is less
need in Mitchell than probably any
other city of similar size in the coun-
try for Americanization work, ac-
cording to Prof. j. G. Lindsey, super
intendent of the Mitchell schools.
There has not been single child
registered for the schools this year
in the grades but that has complete
knowledge of the English language.
Mr.. Lindsey, however, believes that
there are some persons between 16
and 81 in the city who have not the
equivalent of an eighth grade educa-
ton and consequently night schools
will be established for them. The
total absence OF factories in which
foreigners usually are employed IL
given as the reason for the higf
classification of the children in th'
city by Mr.. Lindsey.
