Minneapolis, February S.-Eighty-
two safe robberies in Minneapolis
during which strong boxes were at
tackled with sledge hammers and ex-
plosives while raids were enlivened
by an occasional gunfight and trus-
sing up of watchmen, are charged
by Frank Brunskill, captain of police
detectives, to four desperadoes cap

robberies were committed during

thousands of dollars.
The men are Al Lockhart. alias
Frank Olson, Sc years old; Earl Lev

Roy Moreland, thirty one; and
James H. Dingman, twenty six. Each
of the four men face a seventy year
prison sentence in Iowa, forty years

thirty years for burglary.
Despite these long sentences hang

today in behalf OF the Bishop and
the CHAPTER made the following an
nouncement: This Cathedral that
it is proposed to erect in the capital
of the nation, makes an unusual
and unique appeal because it is
national in character. There is no
other city on this continent where
such a building can so fifty express
the high ideals of our nation as
Washington. This more than a
Diocesan building and its interest
is more than local. Here in Wash
ington stands the great buildings
that have to do with the large con-
Germs of federal administration, and
cathedral building should incarnate
and interpret those things that we
hold and believe to be fundamental
to the perpetuity Of the nation it
self
Home Of Prayer For All People
Beyond the fact that it is the
building of a great religious body,
it must stand as the witness OF our
common faith as a people. In the
very best sense 1t is to be 4 house
Of prayer for all people. No building
in Great Britain so focuses the af-
feCtions of the people as Westmin-
ster Abbey. This great abbey Is
literally the shrine of Great Britain
1t is believed that the national
cathedral in Washington ultimately
must come to be to America what
the Abbey is to the English people
II ought to be the place of sepul-
ture for the great dead of our nation
1t ought to be a memorial to the
men and women who so unstinting
ly gave themselves for the people OF
the world in the great war. II
ought to furnish a place for great
assemblies, national and interna
tional, meeting in Washington upon
great missions that relate to the
vast interests of America and the
peoples of the world.
From its pulpit. must issue mes
sageS that deal with the most vital
concerns of our individual and cor
porate life. This national Cathedral
is conceived to focus the highest
ideals we hold as a people. In all
these respects we believe it must
make its reasonable appeal to
lovers OF God and Country. On its
artistic side it will be the greatest
one of the notable buildings Of the
"oiiu IL d hdIIon Can 10 dlouSSu u
erect great memorials for its dis
tinguished dead then surely it must
be appealed to by the claim of such
vast undertaking as this one
which is to give permanent witness
to those high hopes and ideals that
constitute the security of the home
the state and the nation ITSELF.
In the erection of the structure
Frohman. Ross and Little. archi
tects. with cram and Ferguson as
consulting architects, will carry out
the original designs.

TAKES IN NEW MEMBERS
Membership Contest Of Two Teams
Was Ended Last Niuht


The regular semi monthly meet
ing Of Lorentz Post No. II, OF the
American Legion, was held at the
post club rooms in the Armory last
evening. The meeting was featured
by a large attendance and with a
formal initiation of new members,
according to the new ritual adopted
by the last national convention of
post officers taking part in the ex-
emplifcation Of the ritual were AL
bert r. Kircher, commander; Z. r.
George Schaus, second vice COM
mander; Rev. w. H. Wiener, post
chaplain and Sidney Fields, sergeant
vacancy, left by the resignation of j.
j. Albert, who is to leave the city
soon.
The membership contest, between
two teams, captained by Bill AIworth
and Jim Kudrle ended last evening.
The Kudrle team won and 1t is now
up to the losing team to furnish the
winners with a banquet. Arrange
ments are already underway and the
feast will occur at the next meeting
of the post to be held on February
%, Washington's birthday. This
meeting will be enlivened by enter
tainment to be arranged by the COM
mittee. Every member of that COM
mittee refuses to divulge what they
have on tap for that evening, but re-
marks made by numerous members
of the post indicate that the attend
ance will be so large that it will be
necessary to borrow considerable
lumber to furnish seats. The mem
bership drive was complete sue
cess and Lorentz post now has on
it's rolls more members than it ever
had in it's history.
