Crowd Is Stunned
The news, given out from Berlin that President L. H. Murlin of DePauw, had been chosen pastor of this church, was based upon his reply to their inquiry as to whether he would accept. Dr. Murlin accepted, saying among other things that the term should be for one year only; provided they would give him about ten Sunday’s leave, at convenient times during the year, to visit a week or more in comparative regions to study European conditions following the war; such as Paris, London, Dresden, Rome, Seandiflavia, Kieva, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Constantinople, and Palestine, in order to contrast post war conditions in Europe with those of 1909-10, the year he spent in this church. Because of his interest and loyalty in this church, and knowing that the Church has had a hard struggle during, and since the war, he offered to serve without salary proposing they should pay whatever debt they have, authorize payments on the same thru a stated sum to be paid weekly, pay all other current expenses, and then pay him whatever might t>e left, up to certain reasonable limits.

CHICAGO, March 31.—(INS)— Conflict between Federal ond local authorities over the enforcement of prohibition today threatened fresh complications in Chicago’s volcanic political situation. The present crisis grew out of tho shouting Thursday night of William Beatty, municipal court bailiff, in a raid conducted by a group of imported special government dry raiders. When local police, unaware of tho imported squad’s activities rushed to the scene in the belief the place was being held up there were told to "Get out and stay out—this is none ol your business.” A serious brush between Police and dry agents was narrowly avert-
ed.
Police commissioner Michael Hughes, after 24 hour investigation trying to And out just what rights the police have in such a matter' was still wrathful today. Preparations are under way to obtain warrants charging assault with intent to murder against the
government agents.
Beatty’s wife, who was with her husband when he was shot, started the action to have tho federal men arrested on a charge ot attempted murder. The raiders succeeded yesterday in having Beatty Indicted for resisting a federal officer, but they failed to substantiate their charge that he fired two shots at tho dry [agents. Two government men have Beatty under guard at a hospital. Meanwhile, the blfter feud between the two Republican factions headed by Mayor William Hale
