Whether members of e church convention should enloy the prtvllego of making speeches la the endorsement of favorite candidates for delegates to national con ference provoked considerable discussion at the Initial session of the lay electoral conference of the Methodist church, which convened at University Place today. The contention that It emacked too much of political method; that It bordered too closely upon tin tactics and that It was contrary to the avowed rule for the con duct of religious assemblages failed to Im press Itself upon the majority of the dele fates and the motion to dispense with such speeches was defeated. The successful taction eontnded that for purely Informa tive purposes nominating speeches are In valuable and a distinct aid In the selection of men for any representative office. Fallowing the adjustment of this matter the election of the following four laymen to attend the general conference at Minne apolis next May u made: George E. Tobey, Lincoln. George E. Spurlock. Tor. R. a. Windham. Portsmouth, and Chan cellor C A- Fulmer of Weeleyen uni versity.

These bodies meet one every four years. Coitlsuar of mdr Laws. A resolution urging all members of the lay electoral conference to work for the continuance of the present Sunday laws In thl state was adopted without dissen sion.

The election of delegates to the general ministerial conference, which 1 also to be held In Minneapolis next May. featured the sessions of the ministerial conference during the major portion of the day. Cn llke the methods pursued In the lay con ference, the clergy of the church makes no nominations, selecting- Its delegates In stead by secret balloting. Curing the morning Mrs. Allle Mc Laughlin, superintendent of the Methodist hospital at Omaha, reported on the condi tion of that institution. She said that it owns property at the present time worth J212,000. with no debts. Of the number treated In the hospital 22 per cent of the cases are gratuitous.

The party was met at the station by 200 members of the local force headed by the employes band. A parade was formed and the newly elected president of the postmasters' association was escorted to the federal building, where Informal speechmakwg and a reception oc cupied more than an hour. The delivery of the official addres of welcome by H. M. BusnneiL, who was toastmaster at a La Toilette banquet last evening, bore testimony to the nonpolitical character of the gathering, but its effect was somewhat counteracted by the declara tion of former Senator E. J. Burnett that postmasters always had and always ought to be mixed up in politics. Ralph Johnson presided at the reception and the list of speakers included former Postmaster H. M. Bushnell. Fourth As sistant Postmaster General P. V. De Graff. Superintendent of Rural teUvery E. G. Thomson. E. J. Burkett, Custodian H. C. M. Burgess. Postmaster L J. Eetter of South Omaaa and Postmaster Cook of Blair. Former Postmaster H. M. Bushnell fur nished the foundation for what had the appearance of a point debate when he suggested a hope that the time might come postmasters would be appointed not for political reasons, but because of effi ciency in the management of the office. Such anility, he declared, had been snown by Mr. Slser. State Board Rejects Bids for Buildings Figures Submitted for New Structures at Lincoln Hospital Are Too High. (From a Staff Correspondent.)

DETAILS OF ARN0LD CASE Campbell Cltlstn f-.lves Explanation of Facts la Connection wttb Stepdaughter's Destk. H. J. Arnold of Camfiball has written The Bee la explanation of the incidents in con nection, with the death of Florence Fletcher at Lincoln, He encloses the following explanation of the case as published In the Campbell Citizen: "Accounts which appeared in the Lincoln dailies Tuesday morning, concerning the death by suicide of a young woman in that city, contain erroneous statements which have the effect of doing a serious injustice to a clt'.zen of Campbell, H.-C. Arnold. These published reports stated that the young woman in question was Florence Arnold, a daughter of our townsman. Mr. Arnold, and that ha flatly refused to attend the funerar or have anything to do with the unfortunate girl a statement entirely untrue. "The girl was not Mr. Arnold's daughter. Her name was Florence Irene Fletcher, and her father is stilt living his last known address being Fexbody or Wichita, Kan. She was a step-daughter of Mr. Arnold, and his disinclination to take part In the obseuuies wsj. under the circumstances, he thinks, entirely natural and Justifiable.

(Tram a Staff Correspondent.') LTNCOLN. Sept. 15 (Special.) For the ostensible purpose of defeating an order issued by the Nebraska State Railway commission, the Chicago. St. Paul. Minne apolis & Omaha railroad today filed a motion in the state supreme court asking the removal of a suit from that tribunal to the circuit court of the United States. The company's action comes with the ; avowed intention of resisting an order of i the Railway commission requiring It to I build a depot at Wayne, same to be con- structed of some material other than wood, j The supreme court, on account of the absence of Judge Letton. failed to take any action In the matter. Attorney Aye declared that the state supreme court had no authority In the matter, but Insisted at tha same time that the court, approve the bond of IfiOu which he offered for the removal of the cause to a higher court. Some time ago F. A. Berry, a Wavne lawyer, filed a complaint with the State Railway commission alleging therein that the depot facilities at his home city were entirely inadequate upon the railroad in question. The commissloa held a hearing and Issued an order tn which It set out that the railroad company should con struct a new depot at Wayne, plans to be filed with tha commission not later than June 15. The railroad company appealed from this order under a new law passed at the last session of the state legislature, this being taken direct to the supreme court instead of through the district court under former enactments. The proposal to take the case to the federal court Is a new move In the matter. Xesreslaraes Alleged. The motion shows that the company takes the position It Is not a resident or citizen of Nebraska, although the railroad has been doing business in the state many years. The motion alleges among other things that the amount involved in the case Is more than and that the company Is not at the present tune nor never has been a resident of the commonwealth of Nebraska. It sets out that the dispute be tween Mr. Berry and the road as to depot facilities at Wayne, this state. Is a dis pute between citizens of different states. It fails to allude In any way to the Interest of tha state or the Railway commissloa may have In the matter. This was once taken up In a case of this nature and the fact that the State Railway commis sion was denoted as an Interested party cauaed the suit to be sent back to the state courts from the federal court. The company alleges In its motion that the work ordered earned to completion, by the Railway commission, win mean an out'.ay of more than JSO'O. It was the desire of the .company to remodel the present Wayne depot, but the dry authori ties there would not suspend the tire ordinance for the benefit of the company.
