Over Hotel Row
At Grand Island
Friction Develops When
County Attorney Seeks to
Prevent Dismissal of Suit
To Close Hostelry.

cil Telegram.) Friction hetwern
the cllv administration and the coun
ty attorney became openly apparent

court aking that the dismial order,
in the rase of the itate by Mayor
I.llktierry. ai realtor, against lit!
owneri cf the Savoy hotel, be ct
itide. .
The nution alleges that the dismis
sal win irregular in not being baed
on affidavits showing the reason for
the dismissal and in not showing th;
approval of the county attorney, as
was mandatory under the law. The
motion will probably be heard with
in the next few day. The original
action was an application for an in
jnetion, under the Albert law, to
cloe the Savol hotel for one year.
The rity administration had with
drawn its application for an injunc
tion against the owners and lessee!
of the hotel, its main pudpose having
been accomplished by an agreement
of the owners to guarantee its proper
conduct in the future and by the im
mediate elimination of the recent
landlady. The application filed un
der the Albert law sought to close
up the place for a year. J

of this sire in the United States in
this or other respects, and better
than very many. i

h'owever, that there is need for a
relfare worker here. It is believed
the matter will be, taken up by the
rdayor and council. So far there has
been no oficial request by the city
physician or ai.y other city or county
authority for such assistance.

kodak snapshot. .

hampered in their search for Rusher

murder.

cows, the horse she was riding be
came frightened, Mrs. Morris was

caught in a stirrup and she was
dragged to death.

ney of McPherson county, was con-
suite. As a result of this conter

ner's jury empaneled and at the pre

answer the 'charge of mnrder.

Morris has been confined n the Mc
Pherson county jail. Judge, , Tewell
of Sidney will preside at the trial. '
Anti-Religious Wave
In Germany on Wane
Berlin, Sept. 1. How nearly the
wave of irreligious and anti-religious
sentiment winch accompanied and
was a result of the revolution has
spent itself is continually being dem
onstrated in one way or another.
Recent school teachers' conventions
in different parts of the country
show graphically the progress away
from the ideals of the makers of the
revolution. '
The German Teachers' association
at its national convention in 1919 de
cided by a small majority against
the retention of religious instruction
as a part of the school curriculum.
Since then the tide . has set in
strongly the other way. The Stutt
gart teachers were the first to change
their attitude, giving a considerable
majority in favor of religious in
struction. The teachers of West
phalia followed suit. Now the teach
ers' associations of the province of
Hanover and of Hesse-Nassau have
reversed their attitude.
