Not all were fully decided as to ‘what they could pledge but the 15 men who did pledge signed for $8,850. ‘The pledges are to cover 50 monthly payments beginning with June 1. ‘Tomorrow afternoon the. teams will visit the members of the church in their homes and will follow up the ‘work during the week. On Monday night, June 2, the teams will bring in their reports and will, meet for supper with the official board at that time. reat enthusiasm is ‘being shown by members and friends of the church. "The teams will first Canvass the members of the church then afterward will give any out- side friends an opportunity to ex- press their appreciation of the work of the church. A very sightly and strategic site ‘was purchased for the new church fhree years ago on the corner of East Eighth and South Center streets.

SMALL. (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune.) WASHINGTON, May 24.—Wil- Mam Jennings Bryan is making what may prove to be his last political stand in Florida. He has been fighting- for a place on the Florida delegation to the Democratic national convention in New. York and, whereas a few months ago it was virtually certain that defeat was staring him in the face, the latest word from Florida is that he may win the coveted honor. Mr. Bryan's state campaign has been as picturesque in its way as any he has made since that fateful day 28 years ago when he dra- matically declared that labor should not be crucified on a cross of gold nor have its brow all cluttered up by a crown of thorns. Mr. Bryan has been touring his adopted state in a filvver. He is 64 years of age and the hand of time does not sit as lightly upon his shoulders as once it did. Neverthe- less, he has come through the strenuous campaign with plenty of physical strength in reserve and if he is elected, he is ready to wade into the convention with all of \the old time energy. Mr. Bryan's Ford has taken him into every county of Florida except two that include a goodly part of the Everglades. The Florida ‘glades are rapidly being opened up to civilization and to cul- tivation, but most of the inhabitants are as yet still non-voters so Mr. Bryan's campaign may be sald to have included virtually the entire voting strength of the state. The Commoner might have traveled in a lmousine if he had desired, but he felt the Ford would get him closer to the common peo- ple and he chose that method of transportation. Back of the strenuous campaign Mr. Bryan has been compelled to make les an interesting story. When he first announced his inten- tion of asking to be sent to the New York convention as a delegate at large he felt that the mere an- nouncement was sufficient to assure him of election at the primaries which are to be held the first week (Continued on Page Six) PEACE RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY METHODISTS CONFERENCE SPRINGFIELD, Mass., May 24.—| The peace resolution of a special’ committee published yesterday, was unanimously adopted by ‘the Metho- dist Episcopal” general conference, here today. demanded that the conscription of wealth and labor. “be a counterpart of any future conscription of human life,” in war. DOWN IN MEET Moderates Victorious in First Issue of Big Assembly. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, May 24. —(By The Associated Press)—The first-defeat for the fundamentalists at the Presbyterian general assembly here came late last night when the committee on judicial business ac- cepted a report that had been pre- sented by a minority section of the Philadelphia Presbytery and which the fundamentalist majority had urged be thrown out. The Presby from which Dr. Clarence MacArtney, moderate, is a commissioner has sent.an overture to tho assembly requesting that ministers, theological professors and other servants of the church be com- pelled to sign a confession of -faith. The overture with ultra-fundamen- talist backing was adopted by the Presbytery, but only after a strenu- ous fight. Those opposing the over- ture then filed a minority report, requesting that the majority's over- ture be not accepted. At last night’s meeting the com- mittee on judicial business, it was learnéd today, Pefused™ to throw_out the minority report as urged by the fundamentalist group and passed the report on to the judicial committee, whence it will go to the floor of the assembly.

C. OWEN. (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) SAN FRANCISCO, May 24.-——-Pro- hibition has its virtues after all, as even the most ardent anti- Volstead- ers will now have to admit. It has struck a body blow at the tipping habit. Documentary proog of this fact is proviced in demands just made upon the San Francisco Hotel Men's as- sociation by the local waiters’ union for an immediate and substantial in- crease in pay.

Former patrons, {t 1s alleged, whose liberality extended in pros portion to the amount of liquid cheer constimed, have developed a strictly sober niggardliness and now are doling out thin dimes instead of Collar bills, Aside from the admission that pro- hibition is putting’a crimp into the tipping evil, the miost interesting phase of the waiters’ demands is some official data fegarding the wages paid to this’ city’s diningroom servitors. ‘The belief long has been prevalent that waiters in most of the elite caravanserais paid for their jobs instead of being pald to work them. This is not true, at least so far as San Francisco is concerned. Waiters inthe hotels here are paid $1.75 for a six-hour day and those who come on earlier and serve got 75 cents more. Ho ever, there is a general understanc: ing that all “wages shall go to ‘keeping up a front’— that is, keeping the waiter supplied with neatly pressed Tuxedo serving jackets, trousers and white bosomed ex-opera shirts. In such matters paying the rent, buying th tickets, maintaining the proper growth of the bank balance and keeping up “the car,” even the waiters’ union admits that the pub Ue 1s supposed to foot the bills. “At the present scale, waiters in first clar# hotels and restaurants are unable to make a living,” says a statement from unfon headquar- ters, “Furthermore, they can no longer count on generous tips to balance their scant wages. This is due to prohibition. Most of our good hote’s and restaurants now are rig- orously observing the Volstead ac and drinkless patrons do not top so liberally as drinking patrons,” The waiters apparently cherish hopes that the Volsteadism will go out.

TOKIO, May The Associated Press.)— Tokio took the American flyers to its heart today. A welcome unsurpassed in cor- diality and enthusiasm* was given the aviators who are circums navi the globe by plane and their chaniclans.
