Y., May 23.—(NEA)— The recent student riots at Des Moines University were only the sur- face symptoms of a widespread dis- ease which has afflicted all phases of American life, both in and outside the university world. This disease is modernism—the at- titude of the “liberal” section of Prot- estantism as opposed to the orthodox tenets of the fundamentalists. Unless the country as a whole turns back to the old-time religion and re- stores the Bible as an unquestioned authority, this disease may bring con- sequences for the nation which will be disastrous. This is the way Dr. T. T. Shields, president of the Baptist Bible Union of North America, and head of the board of trustees at the Des Moines institution, -sums up the recent af- fray in which he was the chief target for missles from a mob of 200 excited students. Dr. Shields came to Buffalo im- mediately after the Des Moines riot to attend the convention of the Bap- tist Bible Union. Upheld by Trustees He and the members of the board ction of secing his action over- vention was unanimous in accepting ’ charges of impropriety, leveled One of North America’s most mili- » Dr. Shields was caustic in j the business and speaking program of BISMARCK LIONS Capture First Prize at Minot District Convention Enter- tainment Program HEAR WELCOME ADDRESSES | Ben Ruffin, International Presi- dent, Greeted Today at Oratory Sessions Minot, N.

The casc is before the learned justices on sev- cral angles, which have to do with breach of promise, dog licenses, and Sabbath observance. The best an ordinary layman can ket out of the mass of briefs, petitions, ete., is this: Miss Kenova Damron and Wayne Hall, of Flemingsburg, were engaged to be married Sunday, Feb. 17, 1929. Hall didn’t show up for the wedding. Miss Damron felt injured to the ex- tent of $11,750, and sued for it. Hall says he doesn't owe her any- thing.

SIMULTANEOUS HOP OF TWO PLANES T0 BUROPE IS LOOMING) French Ship Will Take Off for Paris; American Craft Bound for Rome Old Orchard Beach, Maine, May 23. —(#)—A simultaneous takeoff of two planes on transatlantic flights, one bound for Rome and tke other Paris, appeared in prospect today with an- nouncement that the French planc Bernard-191 would be brought here from Roosevelt Field, N. Y., for its flight to the French capital. Armano Lotto, Jr., backer of the French flight, after an inspection of the hard sand beach said his plane would be flown here as soon as weather conditions permit. The plane, in which Lotti, Jean Assolent and Rene LeFevre will be occupants, has been at Roosevelt field for several days awaiting favorable weather con- ditions for its flight to Paris. Lotti announced that his client would ifey’s case against R. G. Mc- Farland, incumbent judge. Freerks said the appeal will be filed soon. (Special to The Tribune) Dickinson, N. D., May 23.—J. A. Coffey, former judge of the fourth judicial district, has lost his suit to) oust R. G. McFarland as judge. In a decision handed down today Judge Thomas H. Pugh dismissed Coffey's suit against McFarland, holding that Coffey had failed to sustain charges that McFarland had’ violated the corrupt practice act in ke hector a fall in which he lefeater ley for the judgeship. Coffey had served as judge for years prior to his defeat. The suit decided today was the sec- ond which Coffey had lost in his ef- fort to upset the result of the elec- tion. He first attempted to enjoin McFarland from taking office, and later charged McFarland with violat- ing the corrupt practice law. The first suit was decided against Coffey several months ago. Trial of the action charging cor- rupt practice was had about six weeks ago at Jamestown. Coffey brought two actions for final consideration at the April 9 trial, One was an action in equity seek- ing the annulment of Judge McFar-' land's election, charging that he. violated the corrupt practices act in the election of Nov. 6, 1928.
