CONFERENCE SEEKS Will Meet Next at University Place and May Locate There Each Year, TO DISTRIBUTE EXPENSE Hastings, Neb., Sept. 18.—(Special Telegram.)—University Place withqut opposition was chosen today as the meeting place of the 1917 Nebraska Methodist state conference. If con- 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 clected to the deacon’s order. Given Order of Elder. G. A. Bolas, G. W. Bruce, A. H. Egglestone, W. O. Harrell, H. F. Martens, R. E. Martin, W. N. Nu- cay, W. O. Romick, J. B. Wylie, L. R. Hunsberry, C. E. Catlett and B. A. Bessire were graduated from the course of study and elected to elders’ orders, The assignment of ministers will be announced at adjournment, ] which is not expected to come before tomorrow noon. The German Lutheran Nebraska conference closed last night after se- lecting Hastings and St. Paul’s church (North side) for the 1917 meeting. Two Hdndred Hit the “Glory Trail” at Wayne Wayne, Neb., Sept. 18.—(Special.) —Approximately 200 people, men, women, children and students from the State Normal and high school, walked down the “glory trail” at the three tabernacle meetings yesterday in Wayne, where Evangelist Clyde Lee Fife and a corps of skilled as- sistants are holding a union revival. The estimated attendance was 5,300, a record crowd for Wayne. The chorus of 300 trained voices is an outstanding feature of the meet- ings, and the special musical num- bers by the members of the evangélis- tic party, are specially attractive. An unusual departure in evangelism will be the men’s meetings, held in a different place of business in Wayne | each morning for twenty minutes, be- ginning tomorrow. Suffragists Undecided What Plan to Follow (From a Staff 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.

Railroads to Show Cause For Shortage of Box Cars (From a Staff Correspondent. Lincoln, Sept. 18.—(Special.)—Ne- braska railroads must show cause for the shortage of cars to haul grain, according to an order of the railway commission issued today. The order is directed especially at the practice of the roads of not returning cars from other roads. A Burlington official wrote the railway commission a short time ago, declaring the present condition made it simply a game of grab, other roads retaining as many cars as they could. The commission will question the roads’ representatives on why they don’t ship the empty cars back to the companies that own them and make them available for immediate use.

STATE HOLDING THE PAPER " (From a Statt Correspondent.) 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 Buifalo 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. Private 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 few 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 wL\ich 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 tilat was being corwiidered. 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 hear the arguments and will assisy 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..

Gould, charged with criminally assaulting Gladys Burton, 13 years old, pleaded guilty today before Judge Ellis.
