Of course Peter Rabbit was greatly
tickled to take Old Mother Natures
message to Johnny Chuck. Re scam
pered straight over to Johnny's home
rs fast as he could go, lipperty- lip
perty-lip, lipperty-lipperty-lip. Johnny
was sitting on his doorstep. He looked
very lazy and comfortable and as if
he hadn't care or worry in the world.
Probably he didn't have just then. But
they were not far away. They were
headed straight for him and coming,
lipperty- y-lipperty-lip as fast as pair
of long hind legs could bring them.
"Hello, Johnny" cried Peter, as he
came up quite out of breath. "You're
going to school tomorrow morning"
''Im not!" snapped Johnny Chuck.
"You are!" declared Peter.
"lm mott"
"You are!"
"Who says I ann" Johnny glared at
Peter angrily.
"I DO" chuckled Peter. Cant yo,
hear? I've been telling you 50 ever
since got here You are going to
school tomorrow morning. Old Moth
er Nature sent me over here to tell
you not to fail to be there on time.
SO long, Johnny III see you over
there in the morning"
Il won't CO. declared Johnny as
Peter started for his home in the dear
old BrarPatch.
Peter said nothing, but all the way
to the dear old BriarPatch he chuckled
He knew that Johnny Chuck would
not dare to disobey Ole Mother Ma
ture. AS for Johnny, his day WAS
quite spoiled. He grumbled and
growled to himself. he didn't want
to 60 to school. He didn't want to
learn anything about his relatives. He
was perfectly satisfied with things as
they were. The truth is he was al
ready beginning to grow fat with good
living and he was lazy. There was
plenty 10 eat right near his own door
step, and he hated the thought of 60
ing far for it. SO he kept saying. over
and over, that he wouldn't go to school
the next morning. but all the time he
knew right down inside just what
Peter Rabbit knew-that he would.
Sure enough, the next morning, just
as Old Mother Nature was opening
school, Johnny Chuck came waddiing
through the Green Forest. He didn't
look at all happy and he didn't reply
at all to the greetings of the others.
But when Old Mother Nature spoke
to him he wss v"g.7 polite
Good morning, my Chuck" said
she.
Johnny bobbed his head and said,
"Good morning"

Three Methodist
Bishops Named
AT Conference
Plan for Uniticaiion With
Southern Church Present
ed, but Adoption Regard
ed as Remote Possibility

DIES MONIES, Ia, May 1S.--Three
Bishops Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church were elected on the Seventh
General conference ballot, taken at
noon to-day. They are Anton Bast
Copenhagen; Edgar Blake, Chicago
and George II. Buckley, Philadelphia
"A total of nine white bishops now have
been elected, and three more are to
be chosen.
G. W. Burns, of Minneapolis, was
elected bishop on the ballot taken
late yesterday.
Adoption Of the plan of unification
with the Methodist Church South by
the general conference is a remote pos
slbility, according to sentiment ex-
pressed by many delegates to-day.
For almost two weeks a special com
mittee has been considering the re-
port or the commission on unificaton
which presented to the general confer
ence regional plan without recon-
mendatlon, and merely "as the best
that we have been able to agree upon
under the circumstances and under our
Instructions"
1t is the almost unanimous opinion
OF the special committee that it will be
impossible to adopt the present plan
without many amendments, which in
effect would create new plan.
The special committee appointed q
subcommittee of eleven, charged them
with the duty of formulating a plan,
which will first be considered by the
special committee and, if adopted, will
be presented to the general conference
1t is understood the report will call
tor new commission on unifcation to
be representative Of all the churches
and that the Methodist Church South
will be asked to name similar COM

Chauncey Olcott Brings
Out the Irish as of Yore
Sings Many Songs and Woos
Hoydenish Colleen in ''Ma-
cushla" at Park Theater


Was it OH account Of the Michael Muir
ply Chowder Club? Was it on account
of Paddy Deever and his big oxroast Z?
These are but rhetorical questions;
everybody knows that only Chauncey
Olcott could have summoned So much
Of the old 4th Ward as crowded into
the Park Theater last night. For
there's never ruction will bring out
the Irish as does the chance to hear
and cheer the old songs of Ireland.
Faith, and they did cheer them too!
1t Is capable company with Mr.. o.
colt in his revival Of "Macushla." Rida
Johnson Young's comedy of Irish life
"Thats How the Shannon Flows"
| Love and She Looks Like You" were
among the songs incidental to the play
But an appreciativc audience did not
let Mr.. Olcott off so easily. He was
called from the wings and even before
the curtain to sing again and again.
But he was in excellent voice and didn't
seem to mind, declining only when
asked to essay the songs he hadn't sung
IN twenty years.
"Macushla" is old-fashioned comedy
OF sentiment, perhaps all the more
rsstful for being so completely detached
from the smart things of Broadway.
Mr.. Olcott is the same, staggering,
jaunty, carefree, sweet-voiced Irish
singer that we have known these years.
Allyn Gillin, as Patricia, the colleen
he loves, does the hoydenish part in a
capable manner. Honors also 90 to John
Hamilton, as Dinny O'Mara, the host
Ter. Then there is "Macush,a," the
mare whose winning Of the race re
trleves the fortunes OF the hero. If
you're laying a bet to- day, take tiD
on "Macushla."

Church Equality Urged
Newark Episcopalians Take Up
Equal Rule Question

The Protestant Episcopal Diocese of
Newark vt its annual convention in
that city yesterday took what may be
the initial sten toward the admission
of both sexes to the government of
the church on terms of equality.
The Rev. Francis II. Ritchey, of
Maplewood, moved that the word
male" be stricken out wherever it oc-
ours in the constitution of the do
cese. BY unanimous vote the commit
tee decided to refer this to the COM
mittee on constitution.
The striking out of the word "male"
would mean that women would be
permitted to hold Offices in parishes
and the convention. The committee on
constitution will report back to the
convention on the matter next year.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 29.-Side by side with the hands of the driver, the invisible hands of death ever clutch the steering wheel of the roaring auto demons of speed.
 They wait their chances as the miles slip by, and they are not al ways cheated.
 There have been some bad pileups on the Indianapolis Speedway. Sel- dom has there been a year that some entry did not drive the death car.
 The distance around the rim of the track is two and one-half miles. There are some bad curves to hold high power racing machine on, and the class of men, who deal in speed, take their chances with fate in order to win.
 This years International 500-Mile Sweepstakes classic is booked for May 31-Tomorrow. | Mechanically, the event represents the last-minute production in speed and power and endurance. | It is the dream of engineers to get the highest speed and the most pow CT out of the smallest-siZed engine. This year marks another step in their engineering skill, for it is the first time in history that machines of 1S3 cubic inches piston displacement and | 1900 pounds in weight will be seen i in competition.
 And the drivers-they represent | the most expert and skilled jockeys of the wheel of speed of both the old and the new world.
 Of the 30 entries, four of them are former winners of the Indianapolis grind They know every brick in the course. but so far no former winner has ever repeated.
 One of them may pull the thing this year.
 The quartet of former winners, who will roll up to the tape, are: Jules Goux, 1913; Rene Thomas 1914; Ralph De Palma, 1915, and Howard Wilcox, 1919.
 De Palma's record of driving the l 800 miles with Mercedes, for an ! average of S9S4 miles an hour, still stands. Wilcox came the nearest to it last year with an average of S7.S4 miles per hour i'll Peugeot boat.
 De Palma and Thomas are teamed this year with Ballot racers. Also l.GouX and Wilcox will drive the same make of cars, flying the Peugeot col DTS. the only car to win the sweep takes prize three different times. The French boat is a hard one for Amer ican cars to outstrip.
 The race of the four former cham pions will naturally be the center O interest. They will try to outgamf each other and also stem the assaul of the individual entries.
 They will be pushed by other stars of equal brilliance.
