During; Year.
OOLtTMBlTB. O., May 21-The Presby
terian general assembly today received and
adopted the report of the special committee
on marriage aM divorce and adopted
resolutions rejoicing In favorable results
already obtained and expressing the hop
of more radical reform, reaffirming de
liverances of former assemblies regarding
marriage and divorce and enjoining pres
byteries to "enforce the standards of the
church, to hold to a strict account all
ministers under their care and to urge all
mlnlstors-to regard the comity that should
cause them to refrain from giving tha
sanction of our church to member of an
other church whose marriage I In violation
of the law of the church, whose com
munion they have chosen."
Report on Marrlanre and ntrorce.
The report of the special committee on
marriage and divorce submitted today con
taint the following:
"The church has It In It power to put
those who make nnd execute civil laws to
give protection to the family, to make the
sundering of marriage tic and forming of
new alliances more difficult unless by
strict adherence to Its own teachings the
church holds those who minister by Its
authority responsible for the violation of
its tench Incs.
The church has It In It power to put
such opprobrium upon divorces or re
marriages that have not the sanction of
God's word that those who dread Its con
demnation and desire Its recognition will
hesitate to ostracise themselves.
"But If the church permits Its seal to
be put upon such sinful alliances It allows
Its silence to seem It approval; if It with,
hold It power to condemn, In deference
to a power to contribute. It need not think
It trange that It Influence for reform Is
o little regarded.
"The advance Is slow, but much haa
been accomplished, and much more Is prom
ised that gives encouragement and hope."
The committee recommended the pas
sage of the following resolution:
"Resolved, That Presbyterians are hereby
enjoined to enforce the standards of our
church to hold to strict account all min
isters under their care and to urge all
ministers to refrain from giving the sanc
tion of our church to the mnmhers of an
other church whose marriage is In viola
tion of the creed of the church whose com
munion they have chosen."
It was said today that the faction of the
Presbyterian general assembly which la
dlpsatlsfled with the Indorsement yesterday
afternoon of the Antl-Snloon league aa a
"safe and sane'' organization will offer a
resolution striking out these words and
that if this action Is taken the fight will
be renowed with more bitterness than ever.
The conservative element of the assembly
1 straining every nerve In efforta to keep
the matter from again getting to the floor
of the assembly. It la expected that Kansas
City will be selected for the next meeting,
although Denver, Seattle, Hot Springs and
Atlantic City are after It.
Dr. O. D. Matthews, general aeeretary of
the Presbyterian .Alliance, who , for thirty
years has been traveling over the world In
an effort to bring the various sects to
gether, not In organic union but In church
felicity, was one of the principal features
of the day. Speaking of the situation In
France, Dr. Matthew declared that the
Catholic church In that country will be -
come stronger by the separation of church
and state and that the people now realise It.
Many Churches Aided.
The Board of the Church Erection Fund
says the year has been a prosperous one,
the decided advance reported a year ago
having been steadily maintained, with the
result that the applications exceed In num
ber those of last year, and In total amount
those of any previous year In the history
of the board. .
During the year grants and loans were
made from the general fund and. the vari
ous other funds In the control of the board
to 267 churches, totalling 1212.394.
These appropriations have been widely
distributed, having reached thirty-five dif
ferent states and territories; Including
Porto Rico, Cuba nnd Panama, and US
presbyteries.
North Dakota has received the largest
number of appropriations, eighteen, ag
gregating $18,775.
During the year there have been reported
as completed without debt 208 church build
ings and manses, of an aggregate value of
rrrcssi

TWO-CENT RATE IDEA SPREADS
Interstate Commerce Commission
May Take Hand la tha
Matter.
CHICAGO, May 23 -John Callan O'Laugh
lln In his Washington letter thus dis
courses on the passenger rate question:
The railroads of the country are greatly
exercised over the prospect that the Inter
state Commerce commission will order the
adoption generally of a rate of i cents per
mile on all passenger traffic.
This proposed action Is the direct result
of legislation In the various states. It may
mean, for a time at least, a large decrease
In passenger earning and may perhaps
cause railroads to lengthen their schedules
and reduce the number of their trains.
The matter haa come before the Inter
state Commerce , commission through the
complaints It has received as to the way
In which the railroads are evading the re
quirements of the federal rate law and
those of the state laws Imposing the 1-cent
per mils fares.
Some of the railroads now collect a
heavy bridge toll on Interstate passenger
traffic when a river Is tha dividing line
between states having a 2-cent law on
their statute books, and others annul thla
law by charging the Interstate rate of t
cents per mile between potnta In the same
state which the railroad connects by run
ning a short distance through another
state.
Aa a general thing Interstate passengers
are compelled to pay 1 oeht per mile more
than Interstate passengers, which Is dis
crimination, and Is claimed to be an un
just charge. Recently the Interstate Com
merce commission rendered a decision hold
ing that the through rate on freight should
not be more than the sum of the local
rates. If an Interstate passenger choose
to Inconvenience himself, he oould buy a
ticket In the 2-ccnt fare state at the
amount fixed by law between the point
In each state, repeating the operation at
connecting stations on the boundary line.
In this way he could secure the benefit of
the lower charge.
The commission proposes to consider the
complaints, and there Is little doubt, In
view of the ruling In the matter of th
freight Tates cited, that It will maintain
lDe "me Pnncipie in regard to passenger
fares.
The commission has begun the prepara
tion of a table showing the passenger
charges fixed by law In the various states.
The 2-cent rata prevails In Arkansas,
Michigan, Nebraska, New York, Minnesota,
Pennsylvania, and North Dakota, and
Governor Doneen now has before him an
act of the Illinois legislature prescribing
a 2-cent fare, but authorising a charge of
3 ccnta under certain conditions. Wiscon
sin and South Dakota permit tha Imposi
tion of a charge of 2Vi cents per mile.
The other statea are believed to have
either a 2 or 2H-cent rate, and the commis
sion Is In communication with all th state
railroad commissions to obtain th de
sired Information.
The commission Is expected to notify the
railroads that they must either contest the
t-cent law In th courts or charge that rate
generally on all passenger tickets which
call for Journeys through statea having
2-cent laws.
From the railroad point of view the mat
ter Is serious, because. It Is claimed, a
heavy reduction in earnings must be the
Inevitable consequence, and It will be more
difficult to borrow money to make exten
sions and Improvements In equipment, for
which the people ara clamoring.
The. commission Is of. the opinion that the
lower rate will cauae larger use of rail
roads, so that the loss In fares will be offset
by the greater number of people hauled.
The railroads call attention, however, to
tha experience of the Cleveland ift Mari
etta line of the Pennsylvania. Thla line
passes through a populous section of Ohio,
which has a 2-ccnt fare law. The report of
thla road for tha year the law went Into
effect shows an Increase of 13.5 per cent In
the number of passengers carried over th
previous year, when the rat was S cents
a mile. It showed also practically the aam
increase In the number of miles traveled.
Nevertheless, th earnings from passenger
traffic were less by 34,899.50 In 1903 than they
were In 1905.
The result of th experience of this
branch of the Pennsylvania system was to
lengthen the schedules of all through pas
senger trains west of Chicago and St.
Louis, especially In the territory which I
sparsely settled.
