CONFERENCE SEEKS
PERMANENT PLACE

Place and May Locate There
Each Tear.
TO DISTRIBUTE EXPENSE
Hastings, Neb., Sept 18. (Special
Telegram.) University Plac without
opposition was chosen today as the
meeting place of the 1917 Nebraska
Methodist state conference. Ifcon
ditions, conveniences and entertain
ment prove adequate the home of
Wesleyan university may be made
the permanent meeting place.
.The further recommendation of
the committee that future confer
ences be made self entertaining, the
personal expenses being apportioned
among the various churches repre
sented by the pastors, brought forth
a lively discussion.
Opposition of the recommendation
succeeded in preventing a test vote
which promised to carry the new
plan.
Selfish Prayers.
Bishop Stuntz today told the preach
ers that there were altogether too
many prayers that go from human
lips that are misdirected because they
are inspired by selfish motives and
seek for selfish ends.
The statistician made his report
showing a net increase in membership
of 7,000. The conference immediately
and with great enthusiasm set its goal
at net increase of 10,000 for the en
suing year.
E. N. Littrell. F. H. Urwin, J. D.
Walker, F. J. Aucock, R. O. Smith,
F. E. Sala and Alfred Chamberlain
were advanced in their studies, and S.
J. Wilton was discontinued at his
own request.
Collections Increase.
The treasurer made report showing
an increase in benevolent collections
of $51,000. The total amount of spe
cial collections was $280,000. The
bishop informed the conference that
the total increase of the Nebraska
conference alone would offset the
total decrease of .twenty-seven spring
conferences.
The conference will probably close
tomorrow noon, although it is not
certain. The assignments of minis
ters will not be read until the ad
journment.
J. D. Priest was granted a retired
relation. In addition to those report
ed on Saturday Sam McKiveon was
elected to the deacon s order.

Suffragists Undecided
What Plan to Follow
(From a StaR Correspondent
Lincoln, Sept. 18. Mrs. W. E.
Barkley, president of the Nebraska
Equal Suffrage association, returned
from the east yesterday, where she
has been attending the national suf
frage convention.
"Nebraska women will attempt to
secure suffrage as soon as possible,"
Mrs. Barkley said in reply to a ques
tion as to which method the associa
tion would take. "If it seems possible
to secure the ballot first by state
amendment then we will take that
course, but if it looks as if we will
have to seek recognition by federal
enactment, the association will de
vote all its energies along these lines."
Mrs. Barkley said she had secured
many valuable pointers to be used in
the Nebraska campaign.

CITY PAVING BONDS
POSSIBLY INVALID
Smaller Towns Vitally Inter
ested in Suit Now in Su
preme Court.
STATE HOLDING THE PAPER
(From a Staff Correepondent.)
Lincoln, Sept. 18. (Special.) The
validity of several thousand dollars of
municipal paving bonds, which the
state of Nebraska bought and holds
as an investment for its educational
trust funds, is involved in a suit from
Buffalo county, argued before the su
preme court at its first fall sitting
Monday forenoon. The case is en
titled Chittenden against Kibler, and
was brought by the property owners
in the city of Kearney who objected
to paying for pavement on the streets
fronting their real estate.
Many Cities Interested.
Frivate purchasers of the paving
bonds issued by the other cities of
5,000 to 25,000 population are likewise
affected by the suit. The law provid
ing for the issuance of these bonds
was passed in 1913. Nearly a dozen
cities besides Kearney have laid pave
ment and assessed taxes under its pro
visions. 'Should the law be knocked
out it would make all of the bonds
which have been issued worthless.
The state has bought $180,000 of these
bonds and another $35,000 is in the
hands of the state treasurer.
Bill Radically Altered.
The point of attack in the suit from
Kearney is that the bill, as introduced
in the legislature, was radically
amended, after being read two times
and its title changed to such an extent
that the measure was virtually a hew
bill. As first offered it applied only
to first-class cities of 5,000 to 25,000
inhabitants, while the second-class
cities were dropped out.
This, it is claimed, was contrary to
the provisions of the state constitu
tion, which requires a bill to state its
subject matter in the title and does
not permit amendments which are not
germane to the title. In this instance,
it is contended, the amendment was
in' reality a new bill, and could not
legally have been incorporated in the
one that was being considered.
Of such importance is the case held
to be that city attorneys of Fremont,
Nebraska City and Beatrice, where
considerable paving is being done, ap
peared in the supreme court to hey
the arguments and will assist the at
torney general in preparing a brief in
defense of the paving law.
Saloon Law in Same Fix.
Should the attack on the law prove
successful it might pave the way for
an attack on the daylight saloon law,
which was passed in a good deal the
same manner. The bill which after
ward became the daylight saloon law
was originally introduced as a sim
ple measure requiring saloons to close
on election day.
In this form it passed the house
and went to the senate. After being
read twice it was referred to a com
mittee and was amended so as to com
pel the closing of the saloons at 8
o'clock. It passed the legislature in
its amended form.
Work Begins on New
Depot for Tecumseh
Tecumseh, Neb., Sept. 18. (Spe
cial.) Work was started in Tecum
seh yesterday for the new Burlington
depot. A crew of men began taking
the platform away from the old
depot. This is to be moved out of
the way for the new track, and fol
lowing the laying of the track work
will begin on the new depot. Fore
man Anderson is looking for laborers,
giving out the word he could use
thirty more men.
Pleads Guilty to Assault.
Beatrice, Neb., Sept. 18. (Special
Telegram.) J. J. Gould, charged
with criminally assaulting Gladys
Burton, 13 years old, pleaded guilty
today before Judge Ellis. He was
held to the district court on bond of
$2,000, in default of which he was
lodged in the county jail.
