Kdward 3. Phillips of St. Gnbrlet's church,
Hazleton, Pa., who recently had a confer-
nee with J. Plernont Morgan In reference
lo the threatened strike In the Iron and
coal regions of Pennsylvania.
Tho coroner Says that the Identification
can hardly lie riiiestloned, as papers' found
on tne nojy seem to prove it. i ne ponce
are working on'whaVmay prove to be a
murder.
Kirk Stanley, a mnssago operator, In
whose rooms the body was found, Is under
rrest as a suspicious person.
Mrs. DcrntUB, from whom Stanley
leased foilr rooms, lu ono of which
tho body was found, sijs her tenant claimed
o bo from Sari Francisco nnd called him
self "Dr. Stanley "' He was accompanied
by a young inoman, whom ho Introduced as
his wife. The body was discovered by Mrs.
Bernlus' daughter, who went Into Stanley
partmcnts to remove sumo bedding which
wns hanging out of tho window. The po
lice were Immediately notified and a search
f the body disclosed a nunibe" of paper.
Among them was n letter from John
Mitchell, president of the United Mine
Workers, nnd addressed to Rev. Or. Kd
ward S. Phillips, Hazleton, P. There were
also several telegrams from Mitchell, ad
dressed to the prlcbt, a half-fare railway
coupon such as Is Issued to clergymeu and
several receipts made out in Dr. Phillips'
name.
Tho poltco aro searchlnc for a woman
who was known as Stanley's wife. They
say this woman left the house in Ninth
avenue m May 9 nnd has not returned.
Father Phillips disappeared on May S.
Tho body of Father Phillips was removed
to tho morgue. Dr. A. F. Dougherty of
Wllkesbarre. who said he Is n nephew of
tho priest, Identified the body. Ho said
Father Phillips had como to the city to
buy some statuary for his church.
Htnnlo' Much AKHnleil.
Coroner Ilausch committed Stanley to the
Tombs, In default of $10,000 ball, to await
tho result of tho autopsy. Stanley, In an
Interview with i reporter, said: "This -Is
terrible I thought I had been arrested
for n debt of JS I owed a Mrs. Goldstein.
I did not know the body of the priest was
lu my room."
In a talk with Coroner Rausch, Stanley
had said ho met Phillips on the street.
talking with two girls; that he Joined the
party unci Invited them to his room; that
while there they all drank, when the girls
left, and that afterwards hu and Phillips
were sick, but recovered after taking some
medicine that Phillips had with htm.
"Do you kpow the names of the two
girls you say you and the priest brought

the roporter o.sked Stanley.
' I do not and I don t think I would

"That's a llVi' ho cried excitedly, "She
wasn't thero that day at all. Wo had
quarreled."
After the autopsy on the body of Father
Phillips had been completed Coronor
Dausch annotlnced tlint no marks of viol
ence had been found on the bodj, Tho con
dltton of the' organs showed that tho man
tad suffered from chronic nephrltlH and
fatty liver. The coroner said that, owing
to the auspicious circumstances surround
lng the caset It was deemed advisable to
have the vital organs analyzed.
Theory ( the Police.
Asalstnpt District Attorney Oarvan said
ho agreed with Coroner Dausch that an
analysis of the vital organs should bn madu
uud said the district attorney's offlcn would
authorize en analysis. Coroner Rausch gave
a permit for tho removal of the body from
tbo morgue to an undertaking establish
ment.
The police theory so far Is that tho priest
died in Dr. Stanley's roams, either after
having been drugged for robbery or simply
as a result of Intoxication nnd excitement
and that the doctor was afraid to notify the
authorities, putting it off from day to day
Tho body was found In such a petition, thoy
say, as to niako it look aa If It had been
carried into the room where It was found
from the larger adjoining room, and there
laid out.

PHILADELPHIA, May 17. Although It
has been for years the custom of the Pres
byterian general assembly to begin tho real

clusively to a proper obscrvanco of the oc
casion and prominent ministers and laymen
from all sections of the country partici
pated In tn,. exercises Incident to the cele
bration.
The twntleth century meeting was In
pursuance of a resolution adopted by the
general assembly at St. Louis last year.
Tho program was laid down In the resolu
tion of the assembly. John 11. Converse,
LL.I)., of this, city "presided. Tho celebra
tion began with tho singing of the long
meter doxology, followed by an Invocation
by Ro. -,Dr. Mtnton, tho uow moderator.
AddrcsHc's were made by Rev. Willis O.
Craig, "fo. p i UL.D., of '"hlcagQ, who. pre
sented a review of tho nineteenth century,
nnd Rev. Henry C. McCook, S. C. !)., of this
city oh "Pres3 of the Presbyterian Church
In (lie Nineteenth Century."
During die course ut his remarks Dr.
Craig said the world-wldo problem of uni
versal evangelization rould only bo solvud
when nations were brought Into contact
with each other. "We must annihilate dis
tance," he said; "we must subjugate na-
turo and come face to face with people who
w-ork for the convert."
Rev, Dr. McCook'n address was princi
pally a history of tho Presbyterian church,
In speaking of the doctrine of predestina
tion he referred touching!)- to Mrs. McKln
ley. He stated that President McKlnley, on
meeting .1 member of the revision commit
tee, remarked to the latter; "So you nro
going to revlso your confession of fnlth?"
to which the committeeman replied: "Wo
aro going to consider the question."
"Well," rospanded tho president, "I hope
you won't revise out of It tho doctrlno of
predestination."
"Let ua nope," said Dr. McCook, "that as
our beloved president sits by tho bedside
of the noble woman whom ho wedded In a
Duckeyc Prosbytorlan churc' this goodly
doctrine may be a comfort to him, what
over the Issue, and that ho may say with
resignation, 'Not my will, bilt Thine. h

Of Ihe Prenent Problem.
Tho Hildrcjs of Dr. Purves on. "The Prob
I ems of tho Twentieth Century" was a
piosentntlon of the conditions now confront
ing tho Christian church. Among other
things Dr. Purves said:
"Any assault on the fundamental concep
tlon of man's relation to God Is the mcst
dnngerouB of nil tho problems with which
tho Christian church must deal. Thft prob
lem lies In tho relation of religion to the
Intellectuality of man. Wo want religion
that will command the rational assent of
tho human mind. The solution of thb
problem Is the definition and defense of the
supernatural lu history. It Is our function
to faco the doubt of the twentieth century
with an affirmation of tho transcendant,
supernatural, self-revealing God."
John Watiamnker occupied the chair at
tonight's session. Tho principal speaker
was Rev. Samuel J. Nlccolls, DD., LLD.,

Instead of tolns appolntod by the moderator

tho even numbered districts elect ministers
to the even 'numbered' committees and elders
to tho 'odd numbered committees. In the

trlcts.
Tho report of the committee on revision
will .bo laid before the commissioners to-
mo now, although It Is not expected the sub
ject will bo dlscuascd by. tho awombly bo-
