9 UNION IS COMPLETE THE 3IORXIXG OREGOXIAX, FRIDAY, MAY- 25, 1906. Presbyterian Assembly Takes Final Actioji. TWO MEMBERS OPPOSE IT Indignation Greets Them, but They Declare Conscience Against the Vnlon Cumberland Dele ' gates' Ovation. DES MOINES, May 24. "I do solemnly declare and here publicly announce that the basis of reunion and union. Is now In full force, and that the Cumberland Pres byterian Church Is now reunited with the Presbyterian Church In the United States of America as one church." With these words uttered before the General Assembly todajs Moderator Hun ter Corbett officially established the union of the Cumberland Church with the Pres byterian Church in the United States of America, The big ecclesiastical assemblage burst Into a storm of rejoicing. Handclapping, cheers and waving of handkerchiefs gave expression to unalloyed pleasure. The consummation devoutly wished and worked for through many years, despite many obstacles, had become a reality. Only Two Opposing Votes. The most intensely dramatic scene of the ceremonies attending the formal union of the churches was the vote against union by two commissioners. Moderator Hunter Corbett put the question, which was in the form of a resolution, and called for the affirmative vote, to be ex pressed by the commissioners rising to their feet. Instantly the assembly hall was converted Into a stamping, cheering crowd. As the handclapptng and- cheering died down and the commissioners took their seats, the moderator said: "All who are of the opinion that the motion should not prevail will please rise." A laugh went around the hall, for it was believed the request was a mere formal ity and would meet with no response. To the astonishment of all present, two com missioners arose to their feet. Pandemo nium broke loose, and It was feared for an Instant that indignity would be offered the lonely men who opposed the union. One of the men was Dr. William Laurie, of Bellefonte, Pa., and the other was Rev. Roger F. Cressey, of Jacksonville, 111. Conscience Against Union. Ir. Laurie is a stalwart Scotchman and his personality dominated the con vention. "Greatly as I dislike to record my vote against this union, and deeply as I feel the pain of being forced to dis agree with my fathers and brothers, yet I cannot conscientiously vote for this union. It Is purely a question be tween me and my God. I have to op pose It." Rev. Mr. Cressey said: "This is a matter of conscience with me. I can not honestly vote for the union." A motion was made that the nega tive votes be recorded. Cries of "No!" were raised. Dr. Laurie was on his 'feet immediately. "I desire that the negative votes' "be recorded. I never yet was ashamed to stand by my convictions." . The record was duly made. i Cumberland Delegates Welcomed. Immediately after the adoption of the resolution uniting the churches and the declaration by the moderator that the union was now consummated, two rep-1 resentattves from the Cumberland As sembly were Introduced to the Assem bly, which came to its feet and ap plauded, cheered and waved hats and handkerchiefs for Ave minutes. The Cumberland visitors were Professor W. H. Black, president of the Missouri Valley College, Lexington, Ky., and Dr. B. P. Fullerton, of St. Louis. Profes sor Black was the Cumberland chair man of the Joint committee on churoh reunion and union. Both men made speeches to the As sembly, expressing their gratification at the union, and announcing that to morrow Moderator Landrith and a del egation of seven others from the Cum berland Assembly would arrive in Del Moines to receive and extend official greetings. The Assembly telegraphed the Cum berland Assembly at Decatur of the action on the question of union imme diately after the Junction was declared operative, and received a telegram in reply, containing congratulations, an nouncing the official receipt of the in formation and the adjournment of the Cumberland Assembly. Celebration of Anniversary. The afternoon session was devoted to a celebration of the 200th anniversary of the church. Its first presbytery having or ganized at "Old Buttonwood," the home of the first Presbyterian Church of Phil adelphia In 1706. The consummation of church union with the Cumberland Pres byterians added greatly to the rejoicings of the occasion, and unusual enthusiasm marked all of the features of the pro gramme. , The church received greetings from for eign delegates. Dr. William P. Patterson. LL. D., professor of divinity. University of Edinburgh, representing the Church of Scotland, and Rev. William D. Wallace, pastor of the First Church of Ramelton, Ireland, the church from which came "Father" Macmic, who Is credited with being the father of the Presbyterian Church in this country.

The young man resented the manner of the policeman, who, he al leged, insulted him, and yesterday made complaint to the chief..

ARMY OFFICER ARRESTED Scramble of Hungry Refugees for Food Stopped by Drunken Ma rine Resistance Brings Bul let From Denlcke's Gun. SAN FRANCISCO. May 24. Ernest Denlcke, son of E. A. Denlcke, a wealthy San Francisco banker and capitalist, was arrested at his home today on a charge of manslaughter. . On Friday afternoon, April 20. Denlcke, wearing the uniform of a Lieutenant of the United States Army, shot and killed an unknown man on the Lombard-street wharf. He is now being "sweated" by the police. To representa tives of the press he admitted the shoot ing, but refused to talk further until he had secured counsel. Denicke Is a well-known mining engi neer, who has seen military service In the Philippines. On the night of the earth quake he donned his old uniform and voU unteered his services to the Colonel of the Twenty-second United States Infantry. His tender was accepted and he was de tailed on duty along the water front. On Friday afternoon, April 20. a coop of chickens was liberated on the Lombard street wharf and a number of refugees scrambled after the fowls, and one of these, evidently a middle-aged Italian or Mexican, was accosted by a drunken ma rine, who stabbed the man with a bayonet. The refugee succeeded in wresting the gun from the marine, when an Army offi cer rushed up, and, according to stories told the police by eye-witnesses of the affair, deliberately shot the man three times while he pleaded for mercy. The man did not die Immediately, but. It is alleged, was allowed to lie on the wharf until 11 o'clock that night. It was then discovered that the man was. dead. and. his body was weighted and thrown into the bay. No report of the death was made to the Coroner, and it is alleged that no report of the occurrence was made at military headquarters. For a long time the identity of the officer who did the shooting was Bhrouded in mystery. The police are now dragging the bay in the vicinity of Lombard-street wharf, in the hope of recovering the body. Denlcke was later released on 51000 bond. ADVICE TO IXSERS BY FIRE Committee Says Earthquake and Dynamite Don't Excuse Deductions. SAN FRANCISCO. May 24. The sub committee on insurance appointed by the committee of forty on the reconstruction of San Francisco today adopted a report saying, among other things: "We are advised that some of the insur ance companies are doing what is fair and intend to adjust losses speedily and Justly. Others have not yet been able to surmount the conditions existing, so that we can with any degree of certainty report as to what they will or will not do. Still others, either throug-h choice or because of the exigencies of the situation, are following a policy of de ception and evasion that is both annoying and suspicious. We. are of the opinion that the defenses based on the earthquake clause and dynamite use will in general be of no avail to the in surance companies, and advise against any deduction being made by the Insured based upon an argument of that kind alone. The employment of a force of clerks, su perintended by a skilled Insurance man, to inspect and supervise proofs of loss for the insured who have losses and do not know what to do, and to assist in enforcing the collection of the demands and the organization of a corporation which will charge policyholders a fixed percentage for taking charge of and at tempting to collect the face of the policies, was referred, the profit, if any, to be paid into the relief fund. GERMANY WILL SELL STEEL Consul Denies Syndicate Refused Order From San Francisco. NEW YORK. May 24. With reference to recent newspaper reports that the Ger man steel syndicate has declined an or der for 100,000 tons of structural steel for San Francisco, the German Consul-General in this city, Karl Buenz, today made the following emphatic denial: It is not true that German manufacturers have refined an order for 100,00 tons of structural steel for San Francisco. Such a statement has recently been published, and the reason given was that Germany could not meet such a demand for Immediate de livery. In the first place.' the Iron Age stat ed a few days ago that orders from San Fran cisco for structural steel were very light, not amounting In all to mora than 10,000 tons. In the next place, I am In a position to know that, notwithstanding- the activity of the steel trade in Germany just now, the German steel manufacturers, represented by the steel syn dicate at Dusseldorf. are not only quite will ing to acept foreign orders, but can begin to deliver without delay. DRAWS LINE AT JAPANESE. Trades Council Protests Against Em ployment of Asiatics in Ruins. SAN FRANCISCO, May 24. A proposal to bring 1000 Japanese laborers here to work on the ruins as brick cleaners has aroused the hostility of the Building Trades Council. The members of that organization believe that there are enough Idle men anxious and willing to perform this work. To make them compete with Asiatic labor Is considered a blow at unionism for which the Council will not stand. The restrictions upon the employment of nonunion men have been removed in order that everyone may get work, but they have not been removed for the purpose of allowing aliens to profit at the expense of the native-born.
