Clergymen ml z: ... ihouM not im tobacco, but ll Is not contrary to the principles f the church for Presbyterian Judges to grant saloon license. This was decided by the funeral assembly of the- Presbyterian church to doy. The assembly thus expressed itself n approving the report of the temperance rommifee afier a long discission. The report commended President Taft. Em Dei. n William and Former President Kliot of Harvard for being teetotalers, and uived the ministers of the church to petition con Ki.f to slop Interstate shipment or liquor, to discontinue the Issuance of In ternal revenue receipts In prohibition terri tory and to prohibit the use of the malls for the distribution of liquor or advertise ments of liquor. Rev. Ellsworth Rich of Watsonvlle. Cai., Introduced a resolution that ministers should not use tobacco. A layman arose and declared that Mr. rtich should In clude laymen. This was done and the reso lution mas adopted amid cheering. A com msslnner then urged the adoption of a res olution that Presbyterian JudKea should re fuse to grant licenses for saloons, even though It b their duty under the law. Several speakers at once opposed this wiih the argument that a Jpdg should not he criticised for his actions under the law, but the first speaker demanded that Judges when confronted with such a situation resign the bench rather than arrant the license. Commissioners from Pennsylva nia said tb . It was the lepra I duty of their district Judge to issue such licenses and opposed the resolution. "God arrant that our Judges do not re sign upon such occasion." said one com missioner, "for It will only pave the way fur worre ones." The n solution was defeated. Modern Theology. The matter pf .'rjModcrn theplngv and court s if study to meet eslth modern con ditions" came up In the report of the com mittee on theologtcal'eemlnarles. The rec ommendation said that, while there was a demand for advanced teaching, the doc trines of the church are sufficient to meet modern conditions. Instructors were crit icised because of their alleged failure to apply the Presbyterian doctrines to the test advantage. The report of the eoiamlttfe on church erect ten was Adopted except for a resolu tion rfcomniendimt a mutual Insurance or ganisation for the protection of church pi opei-iy.

President Taft, Emperor William and President Eliot of Harvard university were placed on dry" pedestals by the general assembly of the Presbyterian church today when their examples of turning teetotaleis after many years waa commended In the approval of the report of the temperance committee of the assembly. The temperance report advocates far reaching reform, which It Is proposed to achieve by memorials to congress. Here are some of them: That the receipt of revenue In anv form from the liiiuor tratflr be discontinued. That the federal government shall no longer issue liquor tax receipts In pro hibition territory. That interstate shipments of liquor ne discontinued. , 1 That a prohibitory sons, twenty fixe miles in width be established around every Indian reservation. That the mails be closed to the advertis ing or distribution of liquor. The report was read and commented on by It. l.uiher A. Ostrander. P.

'Social drinking" also received a setback when It was urged that the women's socie- 1 ties of the. church make war on thla evil and fight tha use of liquor In women cliU'S and In ths horns. The last Sunday In October was set aside as "temperance day." A hot debate resumed In the first part of the aesslen when tha matter of reducing representation to tha assembly was taken up from yesterday. A number of amend ments to ths pln offered by Pr. 8. J.

A little more than 000 must be se cured within the next four days In order to meet the conditional, subscription of S2S.000 given by George A. Joslyn. A few of the larger contributors to all such enterprises have not been heard from, but the trustees are convinced that the only way to accomplish the desired result Is to reach in some way a very large number of $1 subscrip tions. Hundreds of people la this city are in a position to donate aa much as IL Some of them could give more. Many of these are employed In offices, stores and factories and have not been seen by the committee, personally, and cannot be reached m this way. The decision has therefor been made to appeal through th press for II sub scriptions and to request all those who can go on that list and contribute DOUBLE CRISIS IN BIG STRIKE Twelve Trains Carrying United States Mail Over Georgia Railroad Will Be Started Today. FEARS OF NEW COMPLICATIONS Hope that Trains Will Be Harbingers of Peace. ULTIMATUM TO THE RAILROAD Must Decide by Noon Whether Arbi tration Will Be Accepted. ELEVENTH DAY OF STRIKE Mmnr Towns Hare Organised M aaroa Trains to Tarry Food "applies from Folate nn Other Railroads. ATLANTA, Ga.. May 71. A double crisis will be reached tomorrow (n the Georgia railroad strike. First will be the starting of twelve trains carrying mall only through a community quivering with Intense Inter est as to whether white or black firemen will feed the engines, and as to what In ferences are to he drawn from the make up of the crews, regardless of whether they are white or black. Hope that the hall trains will be harbingers of peace pre vails, but feara of complications are not concealed. The second crisis Is the fate of arbitra tion. By noon tomorrow It may be known. No official announcements have been made, but the assertion that United States Com missioner of Labor Nelll has notified Mr. Scott of the railroad that he must make final decision, whether he will accept arbitration has been made. Tomorrow for the first time a complete conference on arbitration will be possible. The Georgia Joint Terminal company con trols the tracks on which the Georgia railroad enters Atlanta and the switchmen Insist that any agreement to arbitrate must Include the Terminal company. Three directors control this company and up to today there has not been a majority of them present In Atlanta to act In con currence with the Georgia railroad. To morrow, however. George E. Evans, fourth vice president and general manager of the Louisville A Nashville, will arrive here from Nashville and plans have been mad to call him Into conference with General Manager Scott of the Georgia railroad, who Is also a director of the terminal com Pny. The determination to run the mall trains has reduced the problem of settlement to two Issues: First, In what manner the negro shall be allowed to work and second, the Inter ference with Interstate commerce and Its possible result In federal Intervention. This was the eleventh day of the strike, on the Georgia railway a"4 the fifth day f no train service." A town-to-town can vass by automobiles In thla Isolated dis trict today showed that the various com munities affected were now better prepared for a long continued tleup than at any other time since the strike began. With two exceptions every town on the Georgia railroad between Augusta and Atlanta is completely deprived of freight, passenger and mail service by mail. As this situation has become acute the people have organ ized wagon trains to carry supplies from the nearest point of railway connection, which is never more than fifty miles dis tant and usually considerably less. These wagon trains are carrying such quantities of food as to prevent the possibility of suffering and their efficiency has Increased with practice. The most serious Inconvenience today is from lack of mall service. Only in a few of the towns are malls being delivered and ! this without any regularity. The race question today stood squarely blocking the progress of negotiations for arbitration. General Manager Scott brought thla proposition to the front, it la said, by declaring that before he would consent to' arbitration there should be some sentiment that the negro firemen who have worked for the road for years and who have held the respect of their officers and fellow firemen, both black and white, would not be forced to leave the railroad. The fire men were reported to be willing to make concessions In favor of the negroes pro vided they could obtain an arrangement by which negro firemen would not stand In the way of young white men wishing to work up to the position of engineers, a rank never attained on the Georgia rail road by negroes. trlbera Will Move Malls.

First of all J. M. McFarland of the Greek's cojnsel asked him this question: "Willie, do you know where bad little boys who tell lies go?" "Yes, they go to Jail," piped the child In reply. Judge Sutton then administered the oath, the boy holding up his hand In the usual manner. The evidence he gave was In re sponse to a few questions as to his pres ence in his sister's room on the two eve nings when the Greek is known to have been there.

Masauredla declared that he had been Introduced to Lilly B-eese by a Mrs. Kamoa. the German born wife of a Greek.

Owen, convicted In Polk county of obtain ing money falsely and of perjury. For years before his conviction Owen's eyesight was falling. At the time of his incarceration he could hardly see ten feet ahead of him. Now hia eyesight is about gone. Dr. Pean of Iowa City, specialist for the state, who visits all the penal Institu tions, believes the eyesight of Owen can be saved by proper treatment. Accordingly the State Board of Parole will ask Gov ernor B. F. Carroll to suspend Judgment In Owen's case so that he may be removed to Iowa City to be there treated at the hospital under Pr. pean. It Is suggested as hardly probable that Owen would try to escape, as to do so would be to lose his eyesight, while If he remained he might be cured and thus be able to see when he completes his term. Under the lsw the time spent in the treatment of his eyes cannot be counted as time spent on his term, but It is said Owen Is willing tp forego this u his sight may be saved.

RULING MADE MORE LIBERAL Word "Disposal" Will Be Constraed to Apply Only to Final Patent, Abanlately Transferrins; the Land. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WA"SHINGTCfN, May rr.-(Special Tele gram.) Following an effort made by Sen ator Burkett, the general land office has decided to have a survey made of several townships near Lewellen. Neb., if It Is found to be necessary. Some time ago citizens In that locality asked Senator Bur kett to have this survey made, because there were disputes constantly arising over boundarlea, as the monuments of govern ment surveys had been obliterated. The senator took It up with the department, and the commissioner has Informed Senator Burkett that as soon as funds are avail able this survey will be made. It will cover townships 17. is and 19 north, ranges 41 and 42 west. Deuel county, Nebraska. Congressman Kinkaid has been sustained by Secretary Ballinger In his contention for a more liberal construction of an act passed at the last session of congress pro viding for a resurvey of public lands than that accorded him by the department ten days ago when passing upon his applica tion made for a resurvey of sixty-eight townships scattered over thirtv-four coun ties of his district, whtrehy It was held that of sixty-eight but eight of the town ships would be entitled to consideration for resurvey. Th new ruling will make the act much more effective to promote relief to many demands coming from home steaders for resurveys, where original sur veys have become obliterated. Meaalaac of the Haling. The former holding accorded a resurvey to but eight of the townships named in the application, rejecting It as to the other sixty. A rule adopted and observed by both congress and the Department of the Interior Is thst before relief will be af forded it must appear that not more than onr-half of the area of any particular township for which a resurvey is sought has been disposed of by the government, and even then the conditions of the orig inal survey must, upon Investigation to be made by direction of the secretary of the Interior, be found to warrant a re survey. In this case, the two holdings turned upon the construction given to the word "disposal," the subordinate offi cer having held that where the homestead filing has been made for a time?, however short, the government had disposed of the land, and hence relief by resurvey would not be given under the new act.

INCOME TAX GOES OVER Senate, by Decisive Vote, Postpones Further Consideration of it Until June 10. VOTE ON SUGAR AMENDMENTS Propositions to Strike Out Dutch Standard to Lower Duty Lost. BROWN AND BURKETT DIVIDE Former Votes with Democrats on the Standard Amendment BEET VERSUS CANE SUGAR Attltade of Northern and Snnthern Senators Indicate Flrat Di vision Amnan Thee Interest. WASHINGTON. May 27 -By th decisive vote of SO to 33 the senate decided today to poatpone until June 10 the further consid eration of the Income tax question In con nection with the tariff. Consideration of the sugar schedule was continued, but after two amendments to It were voted on the senate switched off to a discussion of the possibility of getting a vote on the Bailey Income tax amendment. Mr. Bailey presented his argument for a vote In his usual forcible manner, but did not succeed In prevailing on Senator AN drlch to concede a vote In advance of the tariff schedule. Mr. Aldrich declared that he would not agree to a vote on the In come tax In advance of the schedules a long as he was In charge of th hill. The two amendments to the sugar sched ule on which votes were taken were those eliminating the Dutch standard test from the tariff schedule and lowering the duty on refined sugar from I S centa per pound to 1.R2H cents per pound. Both were de feated, the former by a vote of K to 47 and the latter by a .vote of 32 to S3. On the first vole eleven republicans voted with the democrats for the amendment, but on the second only five republicans broke ranks. Knarar Interests Divide. It was considered somewhat significant that the two Louisiana senators, Foster and McEnery, the only senators represent ing a cane sugar producing vste. should have been the only democrats to vote with the republicans on the standard providing and this was made the more significant be cause of the fact that toda for the first time the possibility of sharp conflict be tween the cane sugar and beet sugar In terests was Indicated. Mr. Cummins made this the text of a somewhat lengthy and Interesting speech. The cane sugar men did not. however, make response to this. In the main the arugment advocated the striking out of the duties standard test and the pro vision In the sugar schedulueu for a dif ferential on refined sugar. This action be thought would rest t sin th profits of the ( sugar trust and thua cause that n stltutlon to lose Its domination lit the sugar trade, while on the other hand the beet sugar makers would be benefited. Declaring he did not take Issue with th Louisiana senators who had voiced the sentiments of their constituents In favor of protection for their sugar interest. Senator Owen made a plea for liberality among partisans toward those who did not agree with them. From legal opinion he undertook to show that revenue duties contained an Incidental element of pro tection and he Justified aenators In wish ing to see such Incidental protection made a benefit to all sections of the country. At the conclusion of Mr. Owens' remarks a vote was called for on the amendment of Mr. Prlstow to eliminate the Dutch standard lr the testing of sugar, but the author of the amenndmrnt again took the floor and replied to a number of senatora who had defended the Dutch standard. After a few remarks by him ,he roll was ordered on the amendment and It was defeated. Senators Beverldge, Brown, Brtstow, Crawford, Cummins, Polllver, Clapp. Jones, La Follette and Nelson, re publican, voted with the democrats in the affirmative. Senator Burkett noted no. There was great confusion during the call of the roll. A second amendment by Mr. Prlstow, changing the differential rate of duty on sugar, was then reported. The amendment was defeated by a vote of to S3, the present rate of l.W on re fintd sugur being retained. Income Tax Causes ftllr. Mr. Bailey Immediately seized upon this opportunity to offer his income tax amend ment and it was read, much to the amuse ment of the senate, for It was realised that the republican leaders had no In tention of permitting a vote at thla time. While the reading of the amendment was proceed!. -g there were many hurried Con ferences on the flor. Mr. Cummlna, au thor of an Income tax amendment, talked with Senators Borah, Dixon, Bevaridge and other supporters of his plan. Mr. Hale conversed with Mr. Bailey and learoad that tiie latter Intended to demand that a vote be taken now or that a Urn be fixed for the taking of a vote. Mr. Aldrlch moved that consideration of the Bailey amendment be postponed until June 10. This motion provoked Mr. Bailey to take the floor. The senator from Rhode Island. Mr. Bailey said, had at times shown some Im patience for a vote on his tariff bill and yet, he added, he was not willing to vote on the most Important amendment that would be offered to the bill. Th orderly manner of considering this measure, said Mr. Bailey, would be to first dispose of this amendment because the adoption of an Income tax would permit cutting down the amount to b raised from custom duties by M).0O0.ou0, whl'-h might be raised upon Inromes. Stating that he hoped everyone favoring an income tax would go on record on thit policy. Mr. Cummin declsred his Intention to vote for the Bailey amendment. H? had no fear that even with the Income tax there would be too much revenue. Mr. Aldrlch declined to entertain any proposition for an arrangement to vote in any particular way upon the Income tax amendment. He agreed to a suggestion by Mr. Cummins that the Income tag amend ments should be disposed of Immediately upon the disposition of the tariff schedules. He further explained that he had no dis position to prevent consideration of such amendments. Mr. Bailey, fearing that under this argu ment he could not get a direct vote on hia amendment declined b aocat it An extended diacusAioA foUuw4 Koncarnln
