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. The general conference la the highest
legislative body of the Methodist Episcopal
church and Us deliberation with those
of the ministerial conference, which also
has four delegates from this state, are
supreme. 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. At the morning session a resolutions
committee, to wuica will be submitted
other resolutions and memorials to come
up at subsequent sessions of the gather
ing, was named.
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 institution has
no endowment, but, according to the su
perintendent, has been loyally supported
by the Methodists of the entire state. At
present 100 patients can be cared for at
the hospital and a new wing will be
shortly built, at which seventy-five addi
tional patients may he accommodated.

yesterday. arrlvd in L.ncoin today and
was given a monster reception by local
friends and postal employes. 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.)
LIJJCOL Neb., Sept. 15. Special. V-The
State Board of Public Lands and Buildings
today rejected six bids which were offered
on the construction of the two new build
ings to be erected at the Lincoln hospital
for the Insane. Rejections came because of
the fact that the bids exceeded the amount
appropriated by the last legislature for the i
pair of new buildings. The sum of $50,000
was set out for each of the structures,
while the bids opened today ranged from
! $53,000 to 174.110. An enactment of the last
legislature, provides that all state buildings
are to be constructed within the appropria
tions made for them by that body.

The Fall Suits
in Fancy Fabrics
are more charming than for many
seasons past. The colors are not
so flashy and the models are more
genteel. At the same time there
i enough color variation to suit
most any fellow with a liking for
out-of-the-ordinary effects, and
the models are nifty without any
attempt at over ornamentation. To
see them is to decide instantly to
have one.
Do You Know Why Our
True Blue Serges excel?
We'll tell you briefly. They are
th finest twilled fabrics ever pro
duced to sell at like prices. They
are woven double chain and warp
which gives them a body that will
stand up. They are dyed by a new
process which makes the color un-
fadeable. They are made into per
fect fitting garments by master tailors.
With all these points of superiority they
cost even lees than common serges. The
only genuine are Klng-Swaneon Trne

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. He
does not care to be considered heartless,
however, and the light In which he Is placed
by the misleading statements la most un
enviable to say the least. The facts are as
herein stated."

QUESTION EI WAY5E DEPOT CASE
Attorney Ayet Seeks to Hnwe AppoaJ
from State Railway Comes ieelo
Order Tskea to Federal
Court.
(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.
