These are Girl Kade Dying Declaration Telling That He Had Performed Illegal Operation on Her Person. The conviction and five year prison sentence drawn hy Dr. Fred A. Ed wards of Omaha, wore affirmed hy ihe supreme court Wednesday. Edwards was accused hy Iwllian Ifolman of performing an illegal operation upon her. The girl died shortly after she liad mad- this declaration, and its introduction in evidence was bitterly opposed by his attorneys. Judge I lean, author of the opinion, said that it was properly given to the Jury and that its weight and credibility were for the jurors to determine. It was a statement made at a time when every motive for falsehood is silenced and the mind induced hy the most I'ov.i rful considerations to tell the truth. Judge I)-an said that in homicide cases the rule lias long prevailed that the strict rules which are ordinarily applicable to the admission in evi dence of the spoken word do not al ways apply with the same strictness in dying declaration. The law looks to the substance rather than to the form and does not require that these declarations be made in any prescrib ed form. lie says that the evidence justifies the finding that Mrs. Childs home, where the girl died, was almost svdely maintained for such opera tions. There was nothing md-Victorian about the incidents leading up to the tragedy. The Ilolman girl lived with three others in an apartment house. One evening she and two of the girls piled into a coupe with three boys. They took a ride, also a few drinks and then the girl's companion, a youth named Hazen described as a ball player, went with her to her room. She said that when her condition became known he ad vised her to go to Dr. Mathews, which is the name of another Omaha doctor sentenced some time ago for similar practices but she refused. Then Edwards was consulted.

LA FOLLETTE FOLLOWERS CONFER OVER CANDIDATE Advertise your xspant nal for results. in the Joar- Madison, Wis., July 1. The meet ing of La Follette followers confer ring at Oshkosh today on Diana to se- jlect a successor to the late senator. tonight announced a decision to call a state convention, instead of nam ing a candidate for themselves. For mer Governor Francis McGovern of Milwaukee, and Roy P. Wilcox, of Eau Claire, president of the Wiscon sin bar association, are the announc ed candidates. Mr. Wilcox was ac tive in behalf of the Coolidge repub lican elector on the ticket last fall. of the Northern vention. Dr. W. B. Hinson of Portland, Ore., raised the issue today with presenta tion of a resolution that all mission aries whose beliefs do not accord with historic Baptist canons be recalled from the field. A few hisses greeted modernists who rose to speak upon the resolution, but they agreed with fundamentalist speakers that the best course was to print the resolution and let the delegates read it before at tempting action. Printing was order ed. The same theological question re mained in abeyance concerning five delegates from the Park Avenue Bap tist church, New York city, of which Dr. Henry Emerson Fosdick, advanc ed modernist, is the new pastor. The seating of these delegates must be de cided by the credentials committee, headed by Corwin S. Shank, Seattle layman, who was formerly president of the convention, probably tomor row. Meantme the status of Rev. Cor nelius Woelfkln, who Fosdick suc ceeds as pastor of the Park Avenue Congregational church, called the Rockefeller church, remained un backed. He is not a member of the Park Avenue official delegation, but belongs to the executive committee of the convention. Some leaders ex pressed the hope that Woelfkin would not force an issue, but simply fail to offer to function as a member of the committee. Others declared that he could not, without a change in the Dyiaws or tne convention, be pre vented from functioning, and added that such a change could not be com pleted beforo the next annual meeting. Ever since the close the World war the young people in tne church, as outside or it, nave been manifesting uneasiness and a desire for expansion. This has tak en the form, in the Episcopal church, at least, of the organization of Young people's societies, which have com bined with devotional exercises, re creation and definite work, studies of relations between capital and la- j bor, divorce, the creed, church doc : trine, international relations, etc. The desire to be heard, to ierve and to have a voice in the management .(of church affairs manifested itself in jsuch acute form in the past year that the young people, with organ izations in most of the dioceses thru- out the church, went knocking at the door of the Episcopal Missions House, 2S1 Fourth avenue. New York. March 18 and 19 last a conference was held between committees repre senting the youth movement and the national officiald of the church, out of which came an the young people's organize nationally for the time being. ference and a commission, the latter to be composed of representatives of the societies and of the national church organization, with provision for a secretary for young people's work in the Episcopal department of religious education. This agree ment was ratified by the national lfrnncil nt its T-.tv ineptinc mill n de cision was reached to call the na tional conference which is now scheduled to meet at Racine. Representatives cf the young peo ple from nearly every diocese and district of the church will attend, and they will be addressed by church speakers of national prominence. But tlie chief object will be to give the young people an opportunity to voice their views and desires, to outline how and in what manner they wish to serve, to frame their own plan of organization and draw Tip their own programs for discussion and action; and further, to provide means for future representation in the councils of the church. The committee was composed of Miss Mary 15. Conway of Yicksburg, Miss Dorothy Moans of Minneapolis: Walter J. L. Ray of Detroit, and Linden II. Morehouse of Milwaukee. Mr. Morehouse is the chairman of the committee which is arranging for the Racine conference. Whatever conclusions are reached by the con ference will be embodied in a report, to the general convention oi' the church which will meet in New Or leans, October where the entire youth movement will be thoroughly discussed. and treasurer of the Episcopal Lewis B. Franklin, vice president council, who will attend, the forth coming conference, said today: "Beyond question, the youth move ment is one of the most important factors which organized religion has to deal with today. It is represen tative of the growing and inquiring thousand of young people in a rest- t less age, who will be the le religious thought in the years just ahead. Naturally, they not only want to know what the church with which they are asked to identify themselves stands for, but they seel; a voice in its councils. Personally, I have little patience with the blan ket indictment against the youth of today which sets them aside as friv olous, irreligious, worldly and the anomaly among all the ages. The fact that our young people are seek ing an opportunity to serve the church i3 sufficient refutation of this. They may have advanced views, but this is an advanced age. One of Fhe things this conference aims at is to give them an opportunity to give full expression to these views. Un der sane leadership, great god will undoubtedly come otu of it."

Limbs were torn from trees and in places large trees were down. The hail that came with this storm was terrific, however, very little hail fell in Elmwood. the damage was north and east of us where many farmers had tiuir crons entirely hail ed out. The strip of territory that was covered was about seven miles wide and extended a good many miles. It is thought that it commenc ed in the vicinity of South Bend and travelers say that effects of the hail following this path was seen as far south as Brock, Neb. Gus Wendt in the Murdock neighborhood had a large loss as he had a big acreage. Many were injured to a small extent. At the Fred Weisheit place the storm seemed to assume a regular twister and many large trees were blown down. Fred's crops were entirely beaten out, also the torn on the John Brown farm was entirely destroyed. Damage was done to crops on the farms east of town and as near as the Henry Hayes place. Farmers fur ther west suffered greater loss to their crops. Some of the farmers had insurance but many did not and it will mean a great loss to them.
