Pension Passed for Ministers * Modernists Win in Presby terian Meet Over Faith Certificate Proposal. By Aanorlfttrd Preu. The Presbyterian general assembly today adopted a pension plan for min isters, missionaries and other accred ited workers of the church, effective April 1, 3926, or sooner, prepared by n special lay committee of which Will li. Hays, president of the Motion Pic ture Producers and Distributors of America, is chairman. The plan, founded on actuarial ex perience of great insurance compa nies, provides In general for retire ment annuities of approximately one half of the recipient's average annual salary, the payments to begin at 65 years of age. $15,000,000 Fund. A revolving fund of $15,000,000, to 1m. raised within the church, is sug gested to facilitate operation of the new system. The practicability of the plan is ‘•contingent upon and directly depend • lit on" the accumulation of such a fund, the report said. It is proposed that when a church pays the minister his annual salary, a': the same time it send to the board o? pensions of the Presbyterian church a sum equivalent to 7V* per cent of that salary, the minister agreeing to contribute 2Vi per cent. These funds, gathering Interest, will create a pension at the age of 65 equal approximately to one-half the man's average salary, assuming that he has had had 35 years of service, according to the plan. Provision is made for the widow and minor orphans of a deceased minister. If lie is disabled prior to the age of 65 the minister will receive a pro portionate pension, with a guaran teed minimum of $600 a year, it is proposed. First Modernist Victory. The first defeat for the funda mentalists at the Presbyterian gen eral assembly here came late last night when the committee on judicial business accepted a report that had been presented by a minority section of the Philadelphia presbytery and which the fundamentalist majority had urged be thrown out. The presbytery from which Dr. Clarence MacArtney, moderator, Is a commissioner had sent an overture to the assembly requesting that min isters, theology professors and other servants of the church be compelled to sign a certain confession of faith. The overture, with ultra-fundament alist hacking, was adopted by the presbytery, but only after a strenuous fight. At last night's meeting th« com mittee on judicial business, it was learned today, refused 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. SPECIAL RULE ON ' RAIL BILL SOUGHT By 1 nlimil Service. Washington, May ,23.—Progressive republicans and democrats pressing the Howell-Barkley bill to supplant the railway labor board with a sys tem of mediation and conciliation took a new turn in their fight in the house today. They decided to ask for a special rule to bring the measure up for action. They asserted they had been given assurances that a rule would he granted, although no definite promise had been made. The demand for a rule is based on the contention that in view of the fili buster against it and the short time remaining before adjournment is scheduled. Its consideration on the next suspension day, a week from the coming Monday, would mean that no other bills on the suspension snd unanimous consent calenu«;j would have any chance of action. There are scores of members Interested In thcHe lulls, and it is asserted they will back tlie movement for a rule to take up the bill without regard to suspen sion day.

Rum Ring Under U. S. Roof, Is Claim Pointing Office at Capital Teeming With Revelry, Official Charges. Atlantic City, N. J., May 24.—Boot leggers, bookmakers and racetrack touts were pictured as having been allowed tn wander at will through the government printing office In Wash ington, and many women employes were "kept penniless by wholesale gambling,” according to sensational charges which today rocked the con vention of employing printers of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The allegations were made by George H. Carter, public printer of the 1'nited States, who declared that he personally broke up the ring. Results of the races were received directly In the printing office over a 1 telegraph wire operated by the gov ernment, Carter raid, adding that high officials of the department not only were cognizant of the situation, but participated in the gnmbllng. "Ope poor woman confessed to me that she had mortgaged her home and lost all in a mad desire to win a fortune,” he said. "Evidence was found,” Carter con tinued, “that liquor had been distilled in the office of one foreman, either under his supervision or at least with his knowledge. "A messenger on errands between the printing office and the capitol seemed to he engaged in bootlegging. When I preferred charges against this man a congressman whose breath revealed his interest in the case urged me to retain the messenger. Nevertheless, he was dismissed." Saying he had dismissed or sus pended 268 employes, Carter said: “Valuable hours and days had to he given over to the disagreeable task of ousting from the government pay roll a motley crew of gamblers, bootleggers, drunkards, grafters, crooks and common loafers.” “The Family Secret” Is Baby Peggy's next one. Farm Relief Is to Be Tabled Attempt to Kill McNary Haugen Bill Gains in in House. Washington, May 24.—Farm relief legislation, the McNary-Haugen hill, was scheduled to he laid aside in the house late today while a week la con sumed In acting on other matters. The tax reduction conference re port is scheduled for adoption by the house Monday. The legislative ap propriatlon hill and an urgent de ficiency bill providing money for mak ing effective the soldier bill will be considered Tuesday and Thursday. The $150,000,000 bill for new naval construction will occupy tlie house Wednesday. The farm relief bill is to be given consideration although It may require three or four days to complete it. This is In deference tq the wishes of the congressmen with farmer constit uents, and a general belief that some legislation to help the wheat and other farmers is urgent and lmpern live. The McNary-Haugen bill may not be the legislation* adopted. A lmsty democratic poll of the house is re ported to have developed 215 mem bers opposed to the legislation with 150 in favor of it. There was talk today of an attempt to kill the hill at once and make way for other measures that have less opposition. Republican Leader Long wort h said he did not think this could be done. Many congressmen would vote against such action, although they are un friendly to the hill ns drawn. Defeat of the McNary-Haugen bill In the house would leave that body without an alternative farm relief measure, which had been considered in the agriculture committee. The latter rejected all other plans when it brought out the McNary Haugen bill. The senate lias several plans before it and might be able to rush through some one of them should it become necessary to replace the bill now before the house.
