1CANSA8 CITY, Oct. I5.-That the Con
gregational church is, progressive was
demonstrated today when Ita national
council swept aside all opposition and by
in overwhelmfng V6te adopted a new
constitution containing new statements
of. doctrine and other radical, changes Jn
church policy. The council made no Im
portant changes In the document as pre
sented by the commission.
. Only,, one vote was cast against tho
adoption of the constitution. All. who had
ooeed the convention, Including Gov
ernor Baldwin, voted In favor of It.
All morning the council had been dis
cussing the constitution. The principal
opposition came from mcmbern of the
mission societies who are affected by n
change In the constitution.
Tho commleslon of nineteen that framed
the document Is composed of the leading
lights of the Congregational church In
America. Itev. Frank Senders, president
of Washburn college. Topeka Kan., Is
chairman. It was appointed three years
ago at the session of the national coun
cil In Boston. Dr. Sanders expressed the
entlment of the commission today when
he sold:
'Ve have tried to give the Congroga
tlonallsts the best document we coUIU
frame and we. btlleve It represents the
wishes of the great church throughout
the nation."
General Secretary ProTlded.
The provision that has caused the most
discussion Is the appointment of a gen
eral secretary to serve the churches In
an advisory capacity. Ills duties are
similar to those of a bishop and It has
been charged his Influence would be
greater than that of the moderator.
The appointment of a commission of
missions to govern the missionary socle-,
ties with the ultimate object of merging
the eight organisations now carrying on
church work, also has met with some
opposition.
-"'The commission would have 'the national
council begin the Initiative in tbts union
at once by naming the majority members
of the governing board of each church
society, thus giving the national council
control.
A new apportionment plan Is provided,
by which the funds that formerly went
directly to each society from the churches
at large shall be turned Into the national
council, where they may be apportioned
to each society. Thus, an Increase of
:.000,00 annually Is turned over to the
national council for distribution.
The constitution states the national
council shall In the future meet every

,,."Sw
two years Instead of every three cyan.
An increase from the present assess
ment of 3 cents a member per year to 4
cents Is provided.
The selection of a moderator Is changed
to read that this officer shall be "chosen
from among the members present of tho
council."
This provision was made following the
election of Moderator Urown, who was
named In technical violation of the rule,
becauso he was not present when chosen.

has been meeting every train. On the de

by the land seekers. It proceeds as far
as the registration booth, wKere It stops
while the members of the crowds go in

Central Figures in Land Drawing at North Platte
IIUSII KEEPS ON INTO NIGHT
Over Thirty Thousand Persons Are
Cared for at Broken Bo it.
BROKEN BOW. Neb., Oct. 2S.-I Spe
cial Telegram.) The near approach of
the closing hour sees no diminution In
the land registrations. Cloudy weather
which has prevailed this afternoon has
not prevented hundreds of people from
registering who came here by auto,
while the Burlington road has brought In
crowds of the people from both east and
west.
Today's registration, ending at 4 o'clock
this afternoon, exceeds that of yesterday
considerably, It being i.lM. The total
registration up to that hour was 29.656.
There Is no doubt that when tho booth
closes at 12 o'clock tonight the total
registration for the two weeks will have,
exceeded 30,000.
The thousands of strangers who have
been here these lost two weeks have
been handled by the city and railroad In
a roost competent manner. There were
ample accommodations for all, and at no
time has the Burlington uncomfortably
crowded Its coaches at this point
During the night and day the trains
have, brought In l.HS passengers. One
of the large moving picture concerns had
its representative on the ground, and
several excellent views were token. Land
Receiver John Ileeae figuring promi
nently In one of them.
During the registration the tallest man
to pass through the booth was a Custer
county product, and measured six feet
seven Inches. The shortest man came
from Ord and was four feet five Inches,
while the heaviest man registered from
Lincoln and gave his weight as 37!
pounds.
Many newspaper representatives, both
local and foreign, have crowded about
the booth at all times, soliciting for sub
scriptions, and only one out of the num
ber was barred for illegal work.
The Association of Notaries, numbering
thirty-eight members, will realize rather
handsomely on the two weeks' work.
