that Of the English conference,
which was a Joint session of all the
English conferences of the various
districts. and the Lutheran Brother
hood. The leaders OF the synodical
brotherhood movement will make an
effort to obtain the sanction Of the
synod for q general development Of
the brotherhood organization within
tho synod.
The greater part OF the time OF the
convention will be taken up in dis
cussing the reports Of the various
standing committees, and the pas
sage Of legislation recommended in
the reports. Among the important
questions scheduled for discussion
are home and foreign mission work,
educational development. the care of
superannuated minister's and teach
ers, amalgamation with the Ohio
synod, and the reorganization of the
administrative offices Of the synod.
All the committee reports. which
have ben printed In book form, re-
veal most remarkable growth In
tho past three years, in spite OF the
many hindrapces and obstacles as a
result OF the war.
During the past decade the Iowa
synod has averaged an eighteen per
cent gain. Today the total communi-
chnts number 12s,120. There are
1.001 congregations The member
ship. including the unconfirmed,
numbers 2o1,o4s persons. Altogether
there are $50 pastors. The church
property OF the synod amounts to
nearly s4,5oo,00o. Parochial and Sun
day schools number over 500.
Since 1914, when tho German mis-
sionary societies were forced to
practically abandon their mission
AIRY work on account Of the world
war. the Iowa synod has been doing
o marvellous work in trying TO up
hold these frontiers OF Christianity.
Over $1,000 900 has been contributed
for the support Of the work under
German societies. the major portion
Of which has gone to the Society Of
Neuendellelsau. Various other bodies
OF the Lutheran church in America
have contributed to the support Of
these INDECENT missionst. but 1t is
probable that the Iowa synod has
Contributed the heaviest per capita.
1t Is also planned to establish a fund
of 100000 to provide pensions for
the retired pastors of the synod.

Mason City, Aug. 25.-The death
of Mike Baidizar, Polish Interpreter
and taxi driver at che Lehigh cement
plant, yesterday has spurred officials
In their search for the person who
placed q stick of dynamite under the
steps ut the side of his garage and
touched it off with an electrical de-
vice in a patch of weeds forty feet
away.
The MANNED interpreter put up a
hsht for life since Saturday morning,
altho physicians knew. from the out
set that he was lighting a losing
fight, With many parts OF his body
blown away by the explosion, ply
sicians have marveled at his battle.
Since Saturday night. when blood
hounds from Waterloo were taken to
the scene OF the murder and scented
a trail alleged to be that OF Nick

been made towards finding the per-

who Baldizar stated before his death
was one of his best friends. r He ad :
mits buying wirei and dynamite such
as were used in the attempted muir
der, but he Insists now that the
dynamite was purchased to blow fish
from a small pond near the Lehigh
cement plants. close to where the
crime was committed. sad
Ills first story on this. however. ac-
cording to the sheriff, was that the
explosive was purchased for rela-
tive at Charles city. Sheriff f. e.
March made hasty trip to Charles
City last night and on his return he
declared this story had been Knock
ed sky high"
The sheriff interviewed Rada
Vernioz, the man Grba said wanted
the explosives to blast a rock The
Charles City Serbian, according to
the sheriff stated positively he had
never talked with Grba about this
subject and that he had received no
dynamite from him.
Grba had been a good father for
the children Of vernioz when they
were baptized recently. They were
reared together in Serbia, where
blowing UP an enemy Is counted the
proper method OF extinction.
verniox said he had seen Anna
Baldizar. wife OF the murdered man,
known about the plant as big
Anna with Grba on several occas<
gions. 4ss, ~
An exceptionally large funeral is
expected for Baldizar He was look
ed upon as everybody's friend among
the cement workers. He possessed
an education far above the average
among the workers-he spoke four
slanguages--and the men used to go
to him for counsel frequently. Talk
Of lynching when the murderer Is
found Is rife at the plant where
Baldizar was employed.
One of the persons who will be
most affected in Bladizars death is
young man who was being sent
thru college by him, He like Bladizar
was. born in Europe. He was study
ing to be a chiropractor.
