WRANGLING OVER
APPOINTMENTS
ANNUAL BAN
QUET OF THE
BIBLE CLASS
YOUNG MEN OF CITY ENJOY
FINE SPREAD LAST NIGHT
AT M. E. CHURCH.
From Saturday's Dally.
Persuant to the arrangements of
the committee for that purpose ap
pointed by the Young Men's Bible
class of the Methodist Sunday school,
consisting of Jesse Perry, John Lyon.
Will Evers. Harry White and Wand
Whalen, the tenth annual banquet of
that organization was consummated
last evening at the parlors of the
Methodist church. The banquet was
served by the Ladies Aid of the
church, who well know the art of
feeding such a concourse of young
men, with appetites such as are guar
antors of abounding health.
At seven thirty as the assembled
guests stood around the tables which
occupied all the available room in the
large parlors. Attorney Aubrey H.
Duxbury, as toastmaster, asked the
Rev. A. G. Hollowell, pastor of the
Christian church, to pronounce the
invocation, which wa3 responded to
with one of the most perfectly fitting
petitions for divine guidance and a
return of thanks for the blessings
which have been a mark of the favor
of a living Father.
The Holly orchestra discoursed
abundant and the sweetest of music
during the report and received the
plaudits of the well pleased assem
blage or young men.
The menu, which was all which
could be desired, was then discussed
by the young men with the aforesaid
appetites, which in itself was a great
treat, but the program which follow
ed was one of no less significance.
Aubrey Duxbury, as the toastmaster,
fitted into his position to a nicety
that left nothing wanting. This ris
ing young attorney is fast gaining a
place in the confidence and esteem
of a people who are appreciating
worth and worthwhile people.
Byron Babbitt, the president of
the class, was the first speaker, and
his subject being "S. S. S.," was
somewhat of a querry until one had
heard him and then all concluded
they had heard. "Seldom Such Sen
tences." as he had spoken. If there
was anything which he impressed
upon those who listened, above the
gracious welcome, was the fact that
the Sunday school is a "Man's Job,"
The P. M. Quartette, composed of
Messrs. Cloidt, Hunter, McClnsky and
York, then gave a rendition of "Over
the Fields," and when called back,
responded with "How Sweet this Life
Would Be."..
Prof. C. E. Pratt then followed
with an excellent address on the
"Three R's." which contrary to ex
pectation were not "readin", 'ritin
and Arithmetic" but "Reason, Recrea
tion and Religion." This address wat
of such force and so aptly put to the
point, that it would require its re
production to get a concise view of
the many excellent features. One
apt illustration was made when he
recited one of James Whitcomb Ril
ey's poems, "Keep on keepin on."
The quartette then followed with
a number which dealt with a young
man going fishing on Sunday and his
troubles therefrom. This was a high
light on the appreciation of the as
sembled banquetters.
The address of' the evening then
followed when the Rev. Frank O.
Smith of the First Central Congrega
tional church of Omaha, was intro
duced by the versatile toastmaster.
The subject was "Our Common
Tasks in the New Day." He greeted
the crowd and made their acquain
tance and became their friend in a
few apt -stories -and the discourse
which followed. One of the stories.
being about a minister who has a
portion of his address eaten by a dog.
which cut it short but got by just
the same, and how a visitor came
asking for one of the pups of the dog
to make a present of it to the minis
ter of the church to which he belong
ed. The speaker layed more stress
on the fact that one of the common
tasks of this day was the acquisition
of the ability to live together in
friendship pxfl to practice this! in the
industrial World, in politics, in gov
jrnmental affairs and religiofi. He
said asiotfejnf the beacon lights of
his address, that In a little town in
Kansas, where he had lectured, there
were nine churches in a town of one
thousand inhabitants, where there
should have been one good, healthy,
robust working organization which
would have served the needs of the
whole community. The address was
well received, and was one most able.
He said that America of all the na
tions of the world, was only able to
grapple with and Bolve tasks present
ed at this time. He espoused the re
ligion of the "here and now' for and
by everybody. The discourse was
closed by a recitation of the poem,
"Only to Live by the Side of the Road
and be a Friend of Man."
.The conclusion came when the
Rev. W. S. Leete pronounced in one
of his most pleasant- manners the
benediction of the. Almighty on the
assembled young men.
LOGALNEWS
From Saturday's L'ally.
A. B. Fornoff, of near Cedar Creek
was a visitor in the city today at
tending to some matters of impor.
tance. Miss Mary Halmes, living west of
this city, was a passenger to Omaha
this afternoon, where she is spend
ing the time with friends.
Mrs. William Coon and little
daughter. Miss Catherine, of Pacific
Junction, arrived on the afternoon
train for a visit here over Sunday
with relatives.
Mrs. Henry Kaufmann and Mrs.
Adam Kaffenberger and daughter,
Miss Minnie, were among those go
ing to Omaha this afternoon to visit

matters of business.
Mrs. John Hiber. Jr., of O'Neill,

atives and friends, departed this
morning for her home, and was ac
companied to that city by Miss Anna

First Session of Inquisitors Shows
Much Opposition to Secretary Stuhr
and Also Some Against Antles.
The secret investigation into the
fitness of Governor MeKelvie's six
code secretaries is now on. The
joint legislative committee held an
afternoon session Thursday, heard
many volunteer witnesses and decid
ed to ask the joint convention for
further time. If further time is
granted the committee expects to-'eall
witnesses, proliafily by forcing at
tendance if suchc a sUp is necessary,
ami continues the inquiry behint
closed doors for an indefinite period
Tiie committee will not ask tor ar
allowance of any definite time.
The preliminary inquiry was closed
to newspaper reporters but open tc
any one else who chose to enter th
lieutenant-governor's room where th
committee fat. Many members of the
legislature dropped in merely to lis
ttn-in on the conversation and pasf
away the time, while others enterec
to mke definite objections to ap
pointees or suggestions in regard t(
luw the committee should proceed.
From behind closed doors it leaker
out that there is no specific ofojec
ticn to confirmation of the re-appointments
of Secretary Phillip F
ttross of the department of finance
Secretary J. E. Hart, department c
trade and commerce; Secretary F. A
Kennedy, department of labor.
Trouble For Stuhr.
The principal opposition that dt
vtloped in the committee room wa
against Secretary Leo Stuhr, depart
nent of agriculture. Some opposi
tion was voiced against George I
Johnson, department of public work
Secretary ii. H. Antles, department o
public welfare was the subject (
considerable discussion.
Some interested in the inquiry d
not hesitate to say that it would r
be surprising if the committee inves
tigation results in an adverse con:
n ittee report in the case of Secretar
S.uhr of the department of agncu.
lure. Others go so far as to say the
Governor McKelvie would not wee
if the committee should see fit t
recommend a new man lor tne seere
tary of agriculture. Friends of th
governor generally are or tne opir
ion tbe governor is f,uiie in earnes
and heartilv desires confirmation c
all his appointees, and that he wi3
consider ti unfortunate if any one i
dropped from the list.
Jeary Opposes Antles.
Representative Clark Jeary of Lan
caster county entered the secre
chamber of the investigating com
mittee early in the afternoon. II
went to ask for the calling of wit
uesses to testify in regard to the fit
ness of H. 11. Antles to hold the po
sit ion of secretary of public welfart
especially his fitness to take charg
cf the child welfare bureau and t
handle the large appropriation
which the legislature is asked to giv
to that bureau. Mr. Jeary was quote
as asking the committee to call wit
nesses and to force attendance if ne
ccssary. He said thirty witnesses i:
Lincoln could testify in regard to Mi
Antles. According to one source o
information he named City Treasure
George Dayton of Lincoln and Mayo
J. E. Miller of Lincoln. Anothe
source of information said he nanier
.Mr. Dayton only as a witness. I
was later reported that Mayor Mil
ler had recommended Mr. Antles t
Governor McKelvie for his presen
position. Mr. Antles was chief of pc
lice by appointment from Mayor Mil
ler.
Is Stuhr Agriculturist or Farmer?
George A. Williams, member of th
house and a real farmer from Filmor
county was sent for by the commit
tee. He responded to the request
but before he did so he sought Gov
ernor McKelvie in his private offic
for a little conference. Mr. William
was a member of the house of 1919
but resigned to accept appointmer
os chief of the bureau of market
under Secretary Stuhr. He hel
that position a few months and re
signed. He was elected to the nous
last fall. It has been understood h
resigned because of interference b"
Mr. Stuhr with plans he develope
for doing something for agricultrr
that he had co-operated with the un'
versity extension department but ths
Mr. Stuhr vetoed such co-operation
Mr. Williams was asked by th
committee if in his judgment Mr
Stuhr was a practical farmer. Wha
he said is not recorded, but it is re
ported that his judgment of Mr
Stuhr's practicability as a farmer wa
not favorable.
Mr. Stuhr sought the committe
prior to the afternoon inquiry ar
aid he would like to make a staU
ment. The committee assured hir
he would be given an opportunity b
fore' it filed a report. He was nr
called during the afternoon. It wa
G o'clock when the committee ad
journed for the day.
Says Stuhr Interferes.
Several farmer members of the leg
slature appeared before the commit
tee. Ernest H. Gifford of Pawnee
member of the house was one of th
farmers who opposed Mr. Stuhr a
head of the department of agricul
ture. He said Mr. Stuhr was no'
trained for such a position and tha
he had interfered with bureaus un
der him and prevented these bu
reaus from doing what might resul
in good to farmers. He mentioned
the bureau of animal husbandry o'
which Dr. F. T. Spencer is head by
virtue of his position as state veter
inarian. Visitors to the committee room
say the head of every bureau under
Mr. Stuhr will be called to testify
though it is deemed improbable tha
any of the heads of bureaus will feel
like testifying in a way that might
reflect upon their chief. It is charg
ed by persons in the committee room
that Mr. Stuhr declines to permit
the head of any bureau or any one

fusing to accept expert advice, la

the department of agriculture, and
the effect has been lack of co-operation
and little real work being done.
It was reported that a claim filed
by Representative Fred llofrneister
for tubercular cattle was vetoed by
Mr. Stuhr. Mr. llofrneister did not
go to the committee room and was
not called. He is said to be entirely
iatislied with the situation. He
never had a claim vetoed by Mr.
Stuhr, he said, when questioned. His
