MARION CENTER CHURCH NEAR

QUESTION.
GERMAN MEMBERS SEEK
TO DICTATE MATTERS

glen Takes a hand-Treubls Starts
Over Use Of English Language In
Sunday School.

Hampton, March 5.-There has
been a big fight on at the Emanuei
Evangelical church at Marion Center
for some months past over the lang
uage question. Many Of the men,
beers Of the church, who are. real
Americans, have insisted that their
children be given the privilege OF
receiving their Sunday school lessons
in the American language. They did
not object to any OF the services be-
ing held In German, neither did
they object to any Sunday school
classes being taught in the German
language.
However, a few Of the members.
said to be representing Kaiser BIZ.
organized a fight against any Ameri-
can language whatever. being spok-
en- In the church, and claimed the
right to dictate because the by
laws" Of the church prescribed that
1t took a two-thirds vote to change
the rules of the church. Those who
wanted q Sunday school class taught
In the American language, while
casting a majority vote. were ruled
out Of order and told If they did not
like it they could get out that
things in that church were German
and were going to remain so.
There is a bitter feeling about the
matter, and it Is we'll known fact
that government officials have been
here twice to investigate the situa-
ton, and local officers have also
spent much time in an effort to quell
several mobs who have been organ
lied over the county for the purpose
of going out and giving coat of tar
and feathers to those who would
deny real American citizens of their
Just rights. Members Of the Ameri-
can Legion are up in arms abouS
the matter, and what will be the
next move is hard to say.
Members OF the church say that
the evident breaking UP Of the con-
gregation seems to make no differ
ence to those who would take slap
at Americanosm. It il said that
members are already leaving the
church and are sending their chill
dren to other churches. Only a few
are accused Of this un-American
procedure. and it is said that they
are the ones who slandered America
during the war and bought liberty
bonds only when they were forced to
do so. In the fight on the language
question, they are accused of getting
out all the older widows and persons
who have no children in order to
have enough votes to beat the
American crowd out of a two-thirds
vote.

TUPELO, Miss. March Is. tSpll--
When court conveues here Monday

Everything is quiet here and the de-
PENDANTS, Charley Marshall and his
father and brother, who are also
charged with participating In the MUIR
der Of the Miller family, are safely
guarded IN the jail,
1t is generally understood that the
defense will seek to prove an allbi,
although so far neither the defendant
or his counsel have made any state
ment to that effect. II was thought
for a time that a plea Of self-defense
would be entered by Marshall.
Charley Marshall win be the first Of
the trio tried. He Is charged with
beating out the brains OF the baby Of
the murdered Miller girl. Of which he
"a said to be the father.

FARM LOAN CASE is DELAYED
Final Decision on ConstitutionaIity of
Act Late in192O or Early in 1921.

A e. Van Petten of Topeka, presi-
dent of the Pioneer Mortgage COM
pany, has received word that the case
to test the constitutionality- of the fed
eral farm loan act has been ordered
re-argued by the United States SUI
preme court, meaning that a final de-
cision cannot be expected before the
last of 1920 or in the early part of

effect the farmer owning a $4,000
farm will be required to pay $500 per
year in federal taxes in addition to the
taxes he now pays. One of the princi-
