Aurora, Neb, l>ec. 11 —<£*pecial V—
In a brief dealing with the li story of
the unfrocking of Dr. ,i. D. M. Buck
ner, former Methodist pastor of Aur
ora, by the recent Methodist confer
ence. his son, Emory K. Buckner of
New York endeavors to prove that
Dr. Buckner was deprived of his
right to preach solely because of his
views as a progressive Christian and
not because he h id tiecnme too old to
do effective work in the min stry and
had become childish in his interpreta
tions of the Bible.
This brief lust printed and sent to a
number of Methodists, is an answer
to a letter recently published by
Bishop Homer C. Btunts in wh oh the
bishop said that tt was Dr. Bu-kner’s
negative preaching, his frequent repe
tition of the same platitudes and half
truths, the continual riding of this
"progressive" hobby, his persistence
in setting tip a straw man in the pul- !
pit and In the secular papers and I
proceeding to demolish him, which had
made him Unacceptable to the confer
ence.
Ill this litter Bishop Stuntz, speak
ing of Dr Buckner, says
"His persistent attempt to make it
appear that he was retired because
lie was a progressive in his thought
about the scriptures is childish.” In
concluding his brief Emory Buckner
says
"The evidence is overwhelming that
Bishop Btuntz and his cabinet adopted
it resolution recommending that the
conference refer J. D. M. Buckner to
the committee on conference relations
for retirement, solely because of his
views and because of Ills publication
of the article 'A Good God' and be
cause of the publication of a summary
of his farewell sermon.
"The evidence Is overwhelming that
the committee on conference relations
discussed nothing but theology and
recommended retirement solely lie
cause of my Nher's views and alleged
md screet publication.’’
He says that his attempt to get
away from the issue by calling Dr.
Buckner childish has become national
and that the Methodists of the coun
try ure entitled to the truth. He In
sists that his father was thrown out
of his pulpit been use Aif his teaching
that the Bible is not ent rcly inspired
and that the Methodists in the confer
ence were unable or did not dare dis
cuss those teachings, and therefore
invoked a technical law of the church
to retire Dr. Buckner.
Western States Ask
Cut in Freight Rates
(Continued From Fane tine.)
made bv \V. J. Conway, commerce
counsel for the Kansas commission,
concluded the first day’s hearing.
From selected tallies of rates and
calculations made from them concern
ing which railroad counsel drew him
into cross-examination, Mr. Conway*!
argued that railroads were now earn
ing on wheat shipments amounts
ranging from 89 to 101 per cent great
er than they earned In 1913.
On corn and other’ coarse grains,
lie estimated, their returns were from
is , 70 per cent great - ,nnn in 1913.
On hay in 1913. he said, railroads re
ceived amounts ranging from 11 to
46 cents per car mile of the product
moved, while today the rates earned
them from 20 to 81 cents. On oats,
in 1913, car mile earnings were from
IS to 81 cents, while today lie esti
mated they ranged from 35 cents to
$2.32. If a given unit quantity of
railroad transportation could be Im
agined, he concluded, a farmer in 1913
could buy 16 units with a bushel of
wheat, while today he could buy but
11.8 units for the same wheat.

young violinist of New York, en
chanted the occupants of the car with
the strains of Fritz Kreisler's "Old

fered.
For the piano music came to her
by radio, caught from the air by a
receiving set installed pn the Union
Pacific car.
Whence came the accompaniment
was not known to the occupants of
the car, for the only blur of static
marring the entire concert came at
the Inopportune time when the code
letters of the sending station were be
ing transmitted.
But the beautifully played piano
solo was received perfectly, without a
single Interruption while wintry blasts
whirred by in the open country of Ne
braska as the train speeded east.
The train arrived in Omaha at 7:15
Sunday night.

girl violinist named in cable dispatches
recently as having been the recipient
of the attentions of the Prince of
Wales, heir to the British throne.
in the observation car with her were

SOLVING AERIAL LEAD PROBLEM
Possibly some radio bugs have been
confronted with tho problem of nuik
Ing some kind of an entrance through
the walls of their houses for their
aerial leads without disfuguring the
1'remises, especially so in rented
houses. This problem especially arises
as the cold weather sets in and the
open window must bo discontinued.
A plan which will work admirably
is to take two sheets of tinfoil, the
size can be adjusted to the capacity
desired, cover tho outside of a portion
of your window \ ith glue, attach the
sheet of foil and apply a coat of shel
lac, do the same on the Inside of the
window, attach your aerial lead to tho
outside foil and the receiving lead to
tho Inside foil, grounds can usually
.be made on water systems and you
have a set up without making en
trance through your walls.
A suitable lightning arrester may.
if desired, be placed on the wall near
the window and tho aerial run to
this, the other side to tho tinfoil.—11.
M. F., Cedar Rapids, la.
Sparks
A ballot of the fans of the north
west shows that instrumental music
is more popular than vocal stlec
tlons. Classical and semlclasslcal
niusio have more votes than jazz.
In installing a receiving set, put in
on air gap or lightning switch. With
out this precaution, the aerial will
not be a protection to the house.
In the east the libraries have found
It necessary to buy heavily of books
covering radio subjects, in order to
meet the demand of readers.
Kxperiments are being made to test
the practlbillty of using radio as an
auxiliary to railroad telegraph sys
tems.

j Is Imprisoned
for Propaganda
Career Reads Like Motion

S',viet government of Russia great

hands of Makhno.
On getting command of the Green
army, Makhno sometimes fought the
Red armies and even massacred com
munists. but he also opposed Denikin
i and Wrangel. He is said to have a
j prejudice against people who wear
j spectacles, and generally he put be
! spectacled people to death whenever
he captured them.
Makhno’s strength was In his
peasant supporters. When they fail
ed to follow him he fled to Poland for
refuge.
