Opposing attorneys have practically
agreed that the opinion then to be
rendered will be accepted as the final
word of the local court on the issue,
although technically the granting of
only a temporary injunction is at
take.
Arguments of attorneys were finished
yesterday and the case was taken under
consideration by Judge ' Redlck.
Attorney John P. Breen spoke nearly
the entire day yesterday la defense of
the annexation act and the election com

no further action will be taken on the

ment to offer resolutions disclaiming any
Intention of Implying moral turpitude on
the part of the seminary' director and
providing for a committee to investigate
the New York prebytery ha been
definitely abandoned.
Presbyterian chaplain of th United
Stat, will hereafter be appointed after
a committee of the assembly ha passed
upon their candidacy. This action was
approved by the assembly today.
The committee oh temperance was given
an additional 110,000 for Its work In the

An overture recommending that the
assembly meet biennially Instead of an
nually wa rejected.
An overture presented by the Ohio
synod, giving power to excommunicate
pastors or elders who by any secret or
overt act glvs aid to the liquor Interests
was approved by the assembly. Tha
action not being retroactive, does not
effect the case of Dr. Charles H. Park
hurst. The question of the right of evangelists
to perform marriage ceremonies came up
on an overture from a western synod.
They objected to such encroaching on the
prerogatives of regular pastors. The as
