[RepubIIcan A. 2. Leased Wlrel

WASHINGTON. May 22-The edge apparently has been broken off the nation wide freight jam through joint efforts of the railroads, the interstate commerce commission and shippers. The advices tonight from the princi- pal congestion points showed slight and continued decline in the number of loaded cars awaiting movement. while reports to the American Rail- road association indicated a general public awakening to the need of thor ough cooperation if the blockade was to be lifted This. with drastic steps taken by the government in ordering complete disregard of routing and the swift exchange of equipment. was counted on as starter"
 Despite this more hopeful view of the situation, however, officers of the association and railroad men said the great bulk of freight tied up over the country had suffered only a few dents and that roads were so badly showed under that it would take weeks. per- haps months, to get back to normal.
 Expected action by the interstate commerce commission, with respect to suggestions of the roads for warding off a continued offering of all classes of freight, was not forthcoming. The commission. it is said, is not disposed to place a country wide embargo and is opposed. to some extent. to the use of priorities until 1t can ascertain the effects.

M. E. DELEGATES
 MAKE DRAST
 RITUAL CHANGE
IRepublicsn A. p. Leased wirel


 DIES MONIES, Ia, May PA change, which many delegates said was important, was made today in the ritual of the Methodist Episcopal church by the general conference when it adopted the majority report of the committe on Judiciary. which held unconstitutional the question in the ritual of the church for the recep- ton of members which reads Do you believe in the doctrines of the holy scriptures as set forth in the articles of religion of the Methodist Episcopal church?" and the necessary answer, 'I do."
 The report was adopted. after long debate, by an aye and nay vote. 390 for. and 369 against.
 The report of the committee did not touch on the other questions usually asked in the reception of members be- cause they were not involved in the appeal which eliminated the report. However. the report indicated that the only qualification for membership is a desire to flee from the wrath to come and to be. saved from their sins.
 There will be no debate in the con ference on the proposed change in the amusement clause of the discipline or the Methodist Episcopal church if the report of the committee on the state or church is presented and adopted as de- cided upon by the committee. Not only has the committee decided to recom- mend that no change be made in amusement sections, but also that the report be adopted without debate.
 Take Liberal Stand
 The same committee has agreed upon a definite plan for recreation in local churches. intended to satisfy the wants of the young people. Appoint ment of a local reereational director will be recommended. and if that can not be done. suggestions will be made i that some other officer Of the church take up the duties. Stand against the use of the motion picture in the church will not be taken. according to 1 a report which has been approved by the committee on stafe of the church, and which will be presented to the conference on Monday or Tuesday This report urges the tablishment Of local and state boards of censorship for pictures. and calls upon all legis- lative bodies ito take early and ef- fective measures to abate the danger. ous nuisance of unwholesome and un- clean moving picture displays" II also Condemns all eommercialized ex hibitions of motion pictures on the !

Split With Villa

CarranDa was the governor or the state of Coahuila who united the Mex cans under the banner of the constitu- .ionalists in 1913 and fought Huerta, who seized the power with the whole sale executions which accompanied the deposition and death of Madero. n,ae.ided by the military genius of the Flashing Villa, his army won many vic tories. but he soon quarreled with Villa, and no sooner was he in Mexico City and recognized by the United States chan he had revolution on his own aands. with Villa at it's head.
 Although aided in every way by the United States government Carranza pursued a decidedly American course and during the world war a de- ridelv anti-allied course. which was topped off by the celebrated Thinner mann note, in which Germany asked him to negotiate a German-Japanese Mexican alliance against the United states.
 His downfall has been a weekly pre- diction for the last three years and when he took flight from Mexico City many persons predicted or confessed fhev feared the tragic end which over took him.

 "A consultive library of objects" rather than an institution of learning in the nature of a college with faculty and students, it's educational activities are of the very broadest character. The several buildings are located in 3S-acre Smithsonian park. the institution also maintaining sta tions at other widely separated points. Its expeditions, surveys and explOra- tions cover practically every country under the sun.
 The Smithsonian park buildings contain collections of the belongings of Presidents Washington, Lincoln and Grant. and the heroes of our army and navy; the costumes worn by the ladies of the white house from 17S9; the most complete collection of fire arms in the country; extensive ex- hibits of medals, coins and stamps of historic value; time keeping and musical instruments, graphic arts, textiles, embroideries and what nOts; several millions of natural history specimens; more than a million speci- mems of the worlds fora and upwards of 5000 exhibits of art-while the zoo logical park, occupying 167 acres in Rock Creek valley (Washington), con- tains more than 1,400 individual man. mals. birds and reptiles.
 It is needless to say that this great institution is well and favOrably known to men of science the world over, and that those who come to study its wOndrous collections are numbered il the millions.

Both Governors to Speak, the
Former in Carolina, Latter

Two more opponents of Senator Har-
ding for the Republican nomination for
President are to swing into the campaign
to elect him.
1t was announced at national head
quarters yesterday that Gov. Frank O.
Lowden of Illinois would speak in Ashe-
vile. n. c., October 16. Gov. William
G. Sproul of Pennsylvania is to be
booked for a number OF speeches this

Regarding reports from Washington
intimating that Senator Borah of Idaho
had left the campaign, and declaring

ters here and in Chicago last Sunday
asking that no more speaking dates be
made for him, Thomas w. Miller head
of the speakers bureau here, said
Il have no knowledge of any in
tentien on. the part of Senator Bolah.
We have received no letter. Some time
ago we did get a telegram asking that
no more dates be fixed, but it was such
a message as is received from others,
who feel that they would prefer to make
their own dates or that they have been
booked fully enough.
1--WE have the Senator scheduled to
speak in Connecticut next week-Dan-
bury on Monday, New Haven on Wednes-
day and Hartford on Thursday. He is
to keep those engagements"
AS to the further report that Senator
