sity at Bloomington. where he

Early in life Lathrop decided to
follow in the footsteps OF his
grandfather, a preacher, and on
the same afternoon he was adj
mitted TO the Indiana Bar Associa-
ton he began his dudes as a
circuit rider. Greenville was his
first charge in 1897.
He served pastorates in Point
Commerce. Fincennes. Franklin.
Connersville, Vevay. Madison.
Brookville. Columbus. Rushville.
Aurora, Adams and Millroy. For
four years he preached in Indian

Ice to others" being his life pur-
pose.

GIANT AIRSHIP ZR-3 BE-
COMES THE LOS ANGELES

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of
the giant dirigible ZR-3, the last of the
historic line of German dirigible Yep
pelins, was completed Nov. % in a set
ting symbolical of the peaceful ways
she is to follow.
The flutter of white pigeons, re-
leased by the hand of Mrs. Calvin Cool
idge, and the rush aloft of myriads of
bright balloons were the outward sign
of the big cruisers rechristening as
the American ship Los Angeles.
All the high officials of the govern
ment and many ENJOYS from other
lands gathered at Boiling field for the
ceremony.
Only a hint of the military was per-
mitted to enter the exercises, shearing
away the mystical Z-R designation,
symbolical of war. The martial touch
was confined to a national salute of 81
guns from a nearby naval battery and
the playing the "Star Spangled Ban
ner" by a navy band.

ASK DELAY ON
NEW RATE

Because of the vast amount of labor
involved in rewriting the express rate
structure to provide for the elimination
Of 0 n four, which includes Montana,
in accordance with ar order Of the in
terstate mmerc commission, the
American Railway Express company
and the Southeastern Express company
have petitioned the commission to
grant a 90-day extension of time before
rates become effective, according to
word received by the Montana railroad
commission.
The new rates. which were to go into
effect Jan. 1, 1925, provide approx
mately 25 per cent reduction in inter-
state rates to Montana shippers and in
intrastate rates, 4 per cent reduction
on hauls of $50 miles or less and III
per cent on hauls over $50 miles. The
Express companies ask until March l,
1925, to make the rates effective.

COURT FINDS THAT NEWS
ARTICLE WAS NOT LIBELOUS

The suit of G. G. Rowan, a Red
Lodge attorney, against the Gazette
Printing company, publisher of The
Billings Gazette, and Joseph Pope, for
merly state superintendent of the Anti
Saloon league, was nOnsuited in the
district court by Judge McKinnon of
Miles City, sitting in place of Judge
O. f. Goddard, who disqualified him
self because of the fact that before
his appointment to the bench he was
an attorney in the case.
Rowan based his suit On an allega-
ton that he was libelled in a story ap-
pearing in The Gazette In which Pope
was quoted. Judge McKinnon held in
iismissing the suit on motion Of the de-
PENDANT that publication of the story
in question was privileged and that it
was not libelous of itself.
