Following his surrender to the authorities last night a warrant was this afternoon issued for Thomas Simpson, colored, charging him with assault to kill Leod Wilson, colored, 20 years old, son of J. H. Wilson, 631 North Main street. Simpson went to the jail and gave himself up last night about 12 o'clock immediately following the shooting which occurred at Fifth and Hickory a short time before.

The shooting is believed to have grown out of an old church" feud which has caused hard feelings among local colored people for some time. The Simpsons and the Wilsons tell entirely different stories of the affair last night, each placing the blame for starting the -trouble. Simpson was arraigned late this af ternoon before Judge J. W. Brinkerhoff.

R. Redmond, attorney, issued the warrant for Simpson and represents the state in the prosecution. Charles Phares, also colored, employe of the Ottawa Jtfnk company, was. being held by Sheriff Elvier Allison although the county attroney said late today that he could see no reason why the sheriff was holding him. No warrant had been issued for him and the county attorney intimated that none would be.

No other warrants have been issued, although it is' known Mrs. Simnson had asked for warrants against Wilson and others. Started at Church? A colored man who attended the homecoming celebration at the A. M. E.

church on Oak street last night said that the trouble, which he believed had been brewing for a long time, showed signs of breaking loose at the church. Simpson said that he had been insulted with hints and gibes throughout the evening. He left the church among the first he said, and started with his wife, to go home, 834 Elm street. Walking south on Oak they turned west on Fifth street. In front of the residence of H.

H. Cowan, 315 East Fifth, a car overtook them, the lights went out and from the car piled three or- four persons, it is said.

At Hickory street he clucked under the little Skunk Run bridge and hid his revolver in the sand, later telling the sheriff where it could be found. He then went to police headauarters where he waited for the officers, who had been called to Fifth street, to return and lock him up. He surrendered to Bud Burnett, night officer, who had made a close investigation of the scene of the shooting in the meantime.

Neighbors Heard Noise Mrs. Shiras said this morning that she thought Simpson's story of how the men got out of the car with threats was substantially correct. She was sleeping in a sleeping porch on the second floor and heard the altercation. There was a struggle in the yard, she said, in front of her house, Jd sven Irolored women were mixed in it as well as the colored men.

Senator Lafollette, Republican, Wis- An amendment requiring the funding to Le completed within five years was added by the committee majority. The majority report said the funding bill granting wide powers to the treasury secretary in the funding operations afforded "the best and most practicable method of handling the matter." A majority of the committeo agreed with Secretary Mellon, the report stated, "that in the case of the principal foreign governments receiving advance from the proceeds of liberty bond5, the United States is committed to the post ponement of the interest for two or three years (over two yenrs of which have elapsed) and also to the spreading over subsequent years of the payment of the postponed interest installments, and not to charge interest on the postponed-interest at least during the two or three years' period." "However," it continued, "this obligation is contingent upon tho foreign government concerned carrying out with i ensonable" promptness funding of its short. I time obligations held bv the United States, after the United States shall be ready to proceed with such negotiations." The report declared it was not the purpose of Secretary Mellon "to accept any German bonds un- 'ess it becomes necessary or desirable." Regarding the conversions of tho debts owing by Czetho-Siovakia, Greece, Rumania, Rursia, Serbia, Poland and other countries, the report says, these countries also owe large amounts to oihef countries.
