Slit Skirt Blocks
Traffic at Denver
DENVER, Sept. 20. Because Mrs. Dorai
Funks woro a1 skirt, split up both' sides
to height of which Patrolman J. H.
DUnc'an did not approve, and because
sucKcrowds gathered about her that
traffic waa omen tartly, blocked, Magli
strnte. Staple will today hand down, the
first official court decision on what con
stitutes "proper" dress 'for women In
Denver.
Mrs. Funke Is a bride of but six weeks,
and came to Denver from Butte, Mont,
on her honeymoon. Upon being
arrested yesterday there was come quesV
tlon as to the propriety of holding her,
but Sergeant Barry supporten the arrest
ing officer, saying:
"There are two sides to every ques
tlon, but when there are two tall slits
in b. aklrt It is too much. We have lots
of silt skirts here, but so for U has all
been one elded. This being two sided
there Is certainly room for argument"
Mrs. Funke will contest the charge
placed against her. more to establish a
precedent with wWeh the court can
foUow," as she declares; than to win her
vindication. The technical charge against
her Is of blocking traffic.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Sept, aX-(Speclal.)-BIshop
F. M. Bristol today sharply reprimanded
preachers who deal In real estate as a
side line. He was addressing tho twenty
young candidates for tho ministry before
htm.
"A preacher cannot do In the business
world what a business man can do get
the better of a bargain. Tho state con
siders it legal for the business man to
win a fortune from another man and
give him nothing in return; bankors and
men of high standing In the commercial
world consider It legitimate to play the
Board of Trade or trado horses, but the
preacher cannot do these things."
Then followed tho questions, "Are you
resolved to devote yoursolf wholly to
God and His work?" and, "Are you de
termined to employ all your time In the
employ of God?" In consenting to which
these young men bound themseivea to
conduct no outside Interests.
IjooIc After Children.
The second question whlchj the bishop
dwelt on was: "Will you diligently In
struct the children?!" ' "Becatfso If you do
not, you will be a total, failure- as a
preacher," he said. "In this age, we
recognlzo tho spiritual, intellectual and
physical caro of tho children of greatest
Importance If I could have my way,
every child baptlied should bo recognized
as belonging to the church until he does
something which should keep him out
I would keep down tho bars for tho chil
dren. Tho church authorities who let In
a drunkard with a wasted life behind him.
who has been hallelujahod Into tho church
land turns away tho child saying ho Is
too young to understand, are criminally
in tho' wrong."
Houso to houso visiting was empha
sized by tho Bishop as tho 'most impbr-
taht part of the preacher's work.
1 ,...LJ. .
"I'eopjo are tired, of preaching today,"
he said. "Thoy want somebody to visit
with, them in their hbmbs", to know" their
lives, their Borrows, tribulations ana love,
to help them hold -to tho broader visions
times of darkijesd. They want a
preacher who wilt get, acquainted with
Ills people.. You men. may . not become
Et cat preachers, but there is not ono of
you that cannot coll on folks. I do not
see how you can preach great sormons
unless you Know yqur people; how you
can deliver the message they need unless
you bury your life In tho lives of your
people."
Objects to Tobacco.
Bishop Bristol said that although
leniency was being permitted In the use
of tobacco In many circles that as lonJr
as he Is in office, he
will require all
prooaticmng preachers to promise as
gentlemen and Methodist preachers, to
wholly refrain from the uso of tobacco.
"I will not ask you young men If you
are using tobacco now or If you havo ever
used It, but If you have, go out now and
turn 'the hoso on your mouth and your
conscience. If the time ever comes when
j you feel that you can appropriately kneel
beside a dying woman, with your clothes
reeking of tobacco; if the time ever comes
when you feePthat you can take a new
born babe In your arms, yIth your breath
foul with tobacco, come to this confer
ence and ask for tho privilege of taking
back tlje promise you have made here,
and If this is cranted. nnd hnln th rnn.

Bryan will coiicludo his .chattauqua, lefc
.tures for the season' tonight with an ad
dress at Warrenton, Vo. Jlr. Bryan .today
commenting on the termination of htfl en
gagements announced that ha would con
tinue to lecture as long as hp remained
secretary of state, whenovcr he felt there
was proper occaslort and a desire to do so.
Mr. Bryan Issued this statement:
"This evening Is the last of the chau
tauqua" lectures for this season. Tho
total Income from Chautauqua lectures
this year Is a little over 17,000. The net
receipts after taking out the necessary
expenses are something over 30.600, The
number of whole week days which has
been used for lectures Is, according to my
recollection, seven. The remainder of tho
lectures have been delivered at places
near enough to this city to leave In the
afternoon, sometimes as late as 3:08
o'clbck. I would not assumo that tho
publlo was Interested' in these details
wero It not for the fact that representa
tives of a few newspapers'have regarded
It as a matter of great Importance."
Will, Continue to Lecture.
When Mr. Bryan waa asked It he would
lecture any more during his connection
with the State department, he replied:
"I expect to lecturo whenever I' deem It
desirable or necessary to do so, and have
not In the least altered the plans which
were made at the time I assumed the
duties of the office. The criticism that
has been directed against my lecturing
Is no more bitter than the criticism 1
havo undergone at otlier times and for
other things during my connection with
politics.
"A part of this criticism Is malicious,
a part of Jt Is partisan and a part of
It Is based upon misinformation. Thftt
which Is malicious will answer Itself,
that which Is partisan will bo accepted
as such, that which Is based on misin
formation will cease when tho critics are
better informed.
Not Afraid of Criticism.
"No man should enter public life )f he
objects to criticism and ho cannot stay
In publlo life If be permits criticisms tj4
turn him from doing what he thinks is
right. He roust decide his duty for him
self and" Is answerable to the publlo for
any mistake he makes. I regard lectur
ing as an entirely legitimate field, I
lectured before I was nominated for .he
presidency. I lectured between cam
paigns, I shall continue to lecture anJ I
shall not believe that any person whose
opinion is worth having will think the
less of me because I do so. This closes
the lecture subject for the present"

NEW YORK, Sept 20.-A1I tho death
certificates filed since the first ot tho

today to ascertain whether they included
any papers forged by "Father" Hans

purpose of accounting for the death ot
persons hopelessly sick or crippled whom
ho meant to kill painlessly for their own
good. He denied, however, that he had

Is the same make.
Muret says he bought his pistol eight

'balcony" ot tho grand arch at the en
trance to tho carnival grounds, will play
befitting selections.
A delegation of ministers, the city com
mUslonors and social uervlce representa

day. Tho delegations- will meet at the
office ot "Dad" Weaver, secretary ot
Ak-Sar-Ben, on tho grounds, noar the
main entrance, and tho excursion will
start through King's Highway.
The grounds, "higher, wider, longer"
than ever, aro calculated to take care
of tho crowds. Instead of ono block, tho
King's Highway this year requires four
blocks of "dazzling, bewildering display
ot heretofore undreamed-of splendor and
magnitude" There still remain nine or
ten booths for Vent "Dad" Weaver sug
gests that anybody who has a nice, largtt
collection of purple feathers with pink

locations and the demand for purple
feathers with pink ribbons attached la
constantly Increasing.

A carload of whistles was received tha
other day. These whistles will bo given
to children. Tho whistles aro so ar
ranged that the least breath will In
stantly please tho possessor, and an extra,
broath, blown correctly Into the whistle,
Is calculated to bring applause from
everybody within a mile.
A trip ,QVr thf cmlvl re-ww Satur-t
day would not have fpiod one with joy.
That is, t scarcely would, There stood
the rows of unWdnftsd tjooth, looking
about as aUradllVo as a row ejf coal
shtds In the. summer time. The arch,
.though almost completed, does not hardly
.Inspire one with enthusiasm, But by
Wednesday ah, by Wednesday! The roivB
of "sheds" ' will bo all gaudy: and nn
Invisible hand will reach out Into King's
Highway and pull you inside. The last
of tho paint shall have been applied by
Wednesday, and tho four blocks, crowded
with people nltnlossly headed for no
where In particular. Cannot but admire
the rapid ' change of those unpalnted
"sheda" into alluring attractions.

Ing the first of the week, bringing with
them a largo assortment of plain ami
