was no sense in looking for trouble

While he was still dozen yards
from the of1ice he heard Juds rauc-
Gus voice.
That's a damn lie, Russ. I don't
care who told you. Silcott butted
in at the Trails End before any of
us had said word to him. We were
lined up at the bar having a drink.
He wasn't in the party. Just horned

The hard insolent voice of Mosely
answered. "Silcott didn't say
word till you started to beat up on
Lamprey's kid brother. Don't deny
It. I talked with witnesses"

They did not want to talk, but I
got the story out of them. Listen,

owner was extensively arrogant.
you're just one of my hired hands.
Don't forget that. Any time you
want to beat up Jess Lamprey it's
all right with me, or Phil either, if
you want to pick on kid just out
of the cradle. But don't make the
play you are doing it for me, not
unless I give you orders I'm run
ming this ranch. Understand?
When l want anybody punished I'll
let you know"
II didn't say I was acting for
you," Prentiss replied sullenly. You
can't ride me, Russ. I'm no four
bit puncher. I won't take it."
You'll take 1t long as you draw

Methodist DELEGATES
Disagree on Giving
Women Pastorates
Committee Rejects
Full Status, but
Allows Some Duties

1y the Associated Press.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., April
30-The question whether women
should receive full ministerial rights
has become the latest issue to divide
delegates to the General Conference
Of the Methodist Church.
The Committee on Ministry re-
jected yesterday by vote of As to
rs petitions seeking full pastoral
status for women, but a minority
member of the committee said the
conference might disavow the ma
jority report.
The church now ordains women
and allows them to administer the
sacrament and perform marriages,
but does not permit them to become
pastors or members of the General
Conference.
A conference spokesman said the
church has disapproved women pas
tors because of its policy of trans
ferring ministers periodically. In
the event the woman married, the
spokesman said, the husband, re-
quired to move from one congrega-
ton to another with his wife, might
be considered in humorous light.
Bishop Denny Left OF List.
Bishop Collins Denny of Rich
mond, Va, sent notice to the con-
ference today that he didn't wish
his name listed among the bishops
of the new church.
The 776 delegates voted unan-
imously to respect Bishop Denny's
wishes" Bishop Denny of the
Southern church fought for four
years to prevent reunion of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South
and the Methodist Protestant
Church.
A plea by five petitioners that
the Methodist Church revert to the
strict anti-divorce rules it main
tanned before the uniting confer
ence at Kansas City iberalized
them year ago was rejected fatty
by the Committee on the State Of
the Church, headed by DR.. Ernest
Fremont Title of Evanston. Ill.
The committee upheld the new
rules which permit ministers to
remarry the innocent party" in
divorces involving adultery or other
vicious conditions which through
mental of physical cruelty, or physi-
cal peril, invalidated the marriage

japanese Delegate Speaks.
The Rev. DR.. Robert B. Spencer
Of Tukuoka. Japan, delegate from
the Japan Methodist Church. told
the conference last night that:
I'VE must find common cause with
sincere Buddhists and Shintoists,
because the enemies of one religion
are the enemies of all religions.
= A new japanese spirit is
being aroused, prejudice against
Christianity is being stirred anew.
Formerly the prejudice came from
other religions, but now there is
general prejudice which is far
more subtle. ="
Delegates rejected overwhelmingly
. proposal to pass judgment on
diplomatic relations between the
United States and the Vatican.
DR.. Harold Paul Sloan, editor of
the New York edition of the Chris

cation, said:

 sion z sec

A ritual was exemplified on 43 candidates at meeting of the Wa terbury Lodge of Elks last night. District Deputy Joseph Delaney and his suite, of Greenwich, made an official visit and witnessed the rit- ual conducted by Ruler Harry X Cashin and his satff.
 The ceremony was followed by turkey supper and six professional acts of vaudeville. The evenings program was arranged by Dr. Morti- mer A. O'Hara, James F. Neagle, Dr. George A. Leonard, Frank T. Healey, Harry J. Spellman, and James Kilmartin.
 Two large goats imported" from Montana took part in the prelimi- nary initiation" of the largest class in the history of Lodge 265. The number of candidates will be cred tied to the Waterbury lodge on the occasion of the initiation of another large number of candidates for membership. The class is to be ded- icated to General John J. Pershing ledaer of the A. E. F. in the World War of 1917-19l8.
 The attendance at last evenings meeting was the largest of then sea son. District Deputy Night" is al- ways an event of unusual interest and owing to the number of prom thence of the candidates the turn out of Elks was an impressive fea- ture of the evening. District Deputy Delaney complimented the lodge on it's enthusiasm its loyalty and the success attending upon the forma- ton of a General Pershing class.

POLICE PREPARED
 FOR EMERGENCIES
Official Contacts Estab= lished With Civilian Units
 Says State Trooper

A closely knit police-civilian or ganization. geared to cope with any emergency, has been formed in Connecticut, according to Sergt. Leo Mulcahy, of the Connecticut State Police secret service squad, who spoke at meeting of the Lions club yesterday,
 Along the grapevine of this stes:- fly expanding organization come re- ports of SubverSive activities, rumors of Nazi, Fascist and Communist plots, information about individuals, Sergt. Mulcahy said. The reports are sifted in central bureaus, where some are discarded, others filed, and others immediately investigated,
 Besides this, the speaker said, all the existing fire and police forces have been linked into a statewide body, ready to bring protection to a threatened community. Within an hour Connecticut can furnish 50 welI-trained and fully equipped police officers in any part of the state Within two and one half hours, we can get 100 trained men at any point in the state, together with all the necessary emergency equipment

NEW TYPEWRITER
 FIRM OPENS HERE
H. J. DriscolI, Manager, Veteran in Business; To
 Specialize in Royals

Offering "up-to-the-m minute" ser vice and handling all kinds of type writers, the Waterbury Typewriter Go. is now open for business at 39 Center street under Manager H. J. Driscoll, who returned to his native state after IT years as service man. ager with the Detroit branch of the Royal Typewriter Go. Although car rying every make of machine, the new store will emphasize Royal"
 MT. Driscoll has more than 25 years typewriter experience and, with the exception of seven years with a competitive concern, he was always associated with the Royal Co.,, working from their branchc of fices in Hartford, Springfield, Bos- ton, Portland, and New Haven. His son is now associated with him.
 While the years in Detroit were very pleasant and it was difficult to consider leaving their many friends and business associates. both MT. and Mrs. Driscoll had always want ed to come back to their native state, so when the opportunity of fered, MT Driscoll resigned his posi- tion to come to Waterbury.
 MT. Driscoll says that Waterbury has a special appeal because of his memories of the early days when he was taking care of service through out Connecticut. At that time, the Royal was in it's infancy and had not yet established branches except in the larger cities. Travel was by rail, and it was not unusual for MT Driscon to leave Hartford at 2 o'clock in the morning and return at 10 or Il o'clock at night When business expanded, it was necessary to locate a service man in this ter ritory, so MT. Driscoll was trans ferred to the New Haven branch in charge of service in New Haven, Bridgeport, Waterbury, and sur rounding towns.

BATTERY HELD ANCIENT

That the ancients had electric batteries is held probable by Dr. Koenig, director of the Irak Mu- scum at Bagdad. Recently he. un- earthed a quaint device extremely like an electric dry battery. Similar devices were found near Ctesiphon and at Tel Omar and Seleukia. Ex- perts believe that batteries may have been used by silversmiths to electroplate their wares so as to make them look like silver.
