QUIZ
Foes of Commissioners to Be
Heard Behind Closed Doors,
Says Senator Ball.

The Pandora's Box Of scandal,
gossip, and innuendo relating to
the denomination of District Com
missioners Rudolph and Oyster
will not be opened by the Senate
District Committee.
Hearings to Be Secret.
If hearings are held on the nomi.
nations they will be behind closed
doors, and publicity will not be
given to various charges that have
been brought to the attention of the
Senator's.
Senator Ball chairman Of the Sen
ate District Committee, reached this
decision today after he had received
a communication from Julius l.
Peyser requesting open hearings.
While the committee has not been
polled on the subject of whether the
hearings on the nominations shall
be open or closed, it is virtually GER
tain that the stand taken by Sen.
ator Ball will be approved by the
committee.
King Studies Charges.
Senator King is the only member
of the committee who has an.
nounced himself in favor of open
hearings. and he will take no formal
stand upon the subject until he ex.
amines the character of the charges
to be heard.
The Senate District Committee
will meet Wednesday morning to
consider the nominations to deter
mine whether Ii ia necessary tn hold
any hearings on the protests which
have been received. 1t Is generally
expected that the local citizens who
are opposed to the confirmation Of
Commissioners Rudolph and Oyster
will be heard, but the custom of the
Senate committees to act upon nomi-
nations in executive session will be
maintained.

spoke of she work of the National

sion for outbursts Of applauses. The

Rev. w. H. Young, of Kansas, dis
cussed the motto topic, "The Con+

preached by the Rev. DR.. G. A. Ward
of Boston, Mass, who used as his
theme, "The Conquering Christ" The
plan of the sermon was we'll and
scientifically laid. He told how man
had made vain efforts to conquer the
world. They had subdued physical
body, but the strong hold of human
forces remained untouched. He said
that Jesus was destined the world
conquerof because he is to direct the
thought, control the affections and
the Wills of men, withouJ which,
there could be no actual conquest.
