ternal feeling," and hoped the letter
carriers might soon be aflllated with the
federation.
A vote of thanks was extended Presi
dent Gompers and his spokesman by ths
convention body.
Talk Insaraae Rates.
The matter of insurance rates of the
Mutual Benefit association of the Na
tional Association of Letter Carriers, is
being threshed out and must be sattled
before the convention closes Saturday.
The Mutual Benefit association Is the
body of tho carriers that carries the
mutual life insurance for the members.
The proposition of raising; the rate Is
up and is creating lota of discussion.
O'Brian of New York held the floor for
an hour and a half during the forenoon
seaelon arguing for the new rates, state
Ing that one who takes a policy In the
organisation has always taken it with
the understanding that the rates and
other conditions were subject to change
of the governing body.
TWo proposed new rates per 11.000 of
Insurance, range from 10 cents to 82 cont
higher than the old, according to the age
of entrance. Thus the old rate is 77 cents
per 11,000 for a man entering at the age
of from 21 to 24, while the proposed new
rate does not lump ages from 21 to 24,
but starts with W cents for the man
aged 24 years, rises to 95 for the man of
22, .o 98 for the man of 2J, to $1.01 for
the man of 24.
Continuing then, the proposed new
rate is higher throughout, until where
the man of 49 is now able to take a policy
for $1.78,' it is proposed to make his rate
$2.60.
The Dallas band is feeling fine since
Dallas won the convention for two years
hence. The band was on a serenading
crusade during the forenoon. They sere
naded E. V. Parrlsh, manager of the
boreau of publicity, who won the con
vention against Dallas two years ago.
They assured him there are no hard
feelings now that both Dallas and Omaha
have been honored. Then they took the
elevator down to the eighth floor of the
Woodmen of the World building, where
they serenaded W. A. Fraxer, sovereign
commander of the Woodmen of the
World, former Dallas cltixen.

Oppose College Merger,
The educational committee of the Des
Moines Methodist conference, to whom
was referred the proposal from Parsons
college to merge Simpson, Iowa Wesleyan
and Parsons will submit a report against
the merger. The sentiment of the con
ference appears to be unanimously
against the merger. In Its report the
committee says:
"Among the considerations that require
us to decline a merger with Parsons are
the following:
"First The fact that Simpson college
occupies a territory which It is serving
with efficiency, for which It is receiving
sn increasingly appreciative patronage,
and In which tt meets with no ember
rasing competition from the other mem
bers of the proposed merger.
Second The fact that the proposed
merger with a school of a highly re
vered sister denomination, located miles
from our Institution omits taking Into
acount another school 'of the same de
nomination as Blmpson college. The
further fact that already Simpson col
lege Is succeeding to resources and ap
pointments which enable It to fulfill well
the special mission of the college of
.moderatestxe and we cannot otherwise
than that any further contemplation of
Its participation In a proposed merger
would seriously Interrupt and Interfer
with the growing success attending Its
work."

Leavenworth, Kan., who has had consid
erable experience in oil fields. The rail
road company has called on the geological
department at Washington to try and
solve the mystery, which Is as annoying
as the slides of Culebra cut. Mr. Bus
well says It's gas. "A gas mound of
anticline la being formed," he says. "In
the Texas and Oklahoma, oil fields they
look for the gas mounds or anticline
ridges when they are looking for an oil
or gas field. If the railroad company
should drill a well there deep enough,
most likely they would tap a gas field
and possibly a supply of nil, too."

prominent Polish lawyer, who made hl
escape from Warsaw after Its capture bj
the Germans, made the following state
ment today:
"Two days after the Germans entered
the city, more than 400 of the most prom
inent rltlsens who remained were ar
rested without warning and sent to Ger
many. About 700 families were deprived
of their heac's and of knowledge of their
whereabouts.
"Arrests continued daily. Ths onlj
known reason was that the names of tin
victims appeared on a list compiled by In
formers and sent to Germany months agj.
"The Germans displayed their usua
thoroughness. Within a few days aftei
they entered the city three temporari
bridges were thrown across the Vistula
In place of the structures blown vp by the
Russlnns. The electrlo light, gas and
water plants were restored, and triers
was early evidence of Industrial activity.
A house to house search was made ant
every copper vessel was confiscated.
Metal mas stripped from all places
where It was left Articles of cotton ant
wool were gathered similarly from house
and shops.
"Hundreds of men who previously hsd
worked in factories were given the cholcs
of Internment in Germany or labor fot
wages at the Krtipp works. Every day
sees the departure of men who prefei
forced labor to compulsory Idleness ia

"Prince Lubomlrsky, one of Warsaw'i
energetic, public men, accepted the post at
temporary president of the civic and cen
