CUTS THEM OUT 1 Church Asked to Send Missionary for J Kacli 10OO CommonlcanlA, 80 ) That 500,000,000 Heathen May Be Converted. DENVER. May . A resolution beginning-. "Whereas, family worship la a thin of the past," came near dis rupting the general assembly of the Presbyterian Church today, when the Innocent-looking- sentence was discov ered by Vice-moderator Holt. There was under consideration at the time the report of the committee on publication and Sunday school work and several amendments had been of fered to the recommendations of the committee. Or. James H. Fraser. of Baltimore, offered a resolution calling; upon the pastors. In view of the fact that family worship had become a "thine; of the past," to organize the youth Into more efficient Sunday school workers In order to bring- them more effectually in the cause of the church when they grow older. "The thing of the- paat" sentence caught the eye of Mr. Holt, who said he believed the resolution to be all right with the exception of the "worship clause. Bone of Contention Cot Oat. A half dozen watchful commissioners were on their feet asking If the .ob jectionable sentence would stand. Upon this sign of trouble. Dr. Roberta, the stated clerk, made a quick correction, using the word "neglected," and trouble was averted. " The report of the standing- commit tee on foreign missions was adopted. Tir. Howard A. Johnaon. of Colorado Springs, who spoke on the report, said there were more than 500.000.000 heath en yet to be converted and broached the feasibility of every 1000 communi cants sending one missionary Into the field. Dr. George B. Stewart, president of Auburn Theological Seminary, present ed the report of the educational com mittee, lie pointed out the lack of re ligious training In the home. Resolutions were adopted deploring the dismissal of Robert Watchorn. ex Commlssloner of Immigration at Ellis Island, and the action of the Belgian government in prosecuting W. H. Mor rison and W. Sheppard. .both mission aries from the Georgia district. Says Japs Better Christians. ' That the Japanese resident of the West is a better christian than the one who seeks to keep him out Of the schools and the country, was the inti mation of Dr. A. W. Halsey. of New York, secretary of the board of foreign missions. "I have received a letter." said he. "from a man representing 1000 Japanese In Various Western states. He says that his people hare raised $300 for the evan gelizing of the Japanese, and he wants th assembly to give a like amount. They are scorned, but they are Christians, and I wonder if they are not better than the ones -vho scorn them." Dr. Bylvester W. Beach, of Princeton, 'ho formerly was a worker in the Latin Uuarter of Paris, spoke of the work among the American students there. He said there were 2000 American boys and girls there when the work was first taken up, and at that time there was no relig ious Influence of any sort. Now. be said, there Is a large Sunday night attendance at regular services maintained In a studio. TWO SHOTS END QUARREL Seattle Man Kills Girl-Wife and Himself at Midnight. SKATTL.E. May 2S.

IS McVeigh Kloors McNally After Two Minutes Kelley Almost Scores Same Way. SEATTLE, May I. (Special.) Plen ty of stuff to suit the moat ardent fight or wrestling fan waa pulled off tonight at the initial boula of the P. N. A- tournament, which will run through Thursday and Fiida nights. The wrestling last night was good, but It was the boxing that livened up the fans. Little Pete McVeigh waa again In the limelight. The hard-hitting Seattle Athletic Club lightweight was pitted against A. McNally. who entered, unat tached, tout who has had a lot of ring experience. McVeigh waited until he aaw an opening after two minutes of the first round had gone, and then stepped In with a short right-arm Jolt to the Jaw that knocked McNally stiff. It waa the only knockout of the even lng. and came like a thunderbolt. There was little chance for a knock-out anywhere else, for Dan Mclnnls. the box ing referee, waa eceedlngly careful not to let the lads mix It too much. In fact. be mixed in so often that he stopped good man- lively encounters. In one bout where "Soldier" Sheppard met J. Kelley In the 135-pound clasa. hla anxiety to see that nobody was hurt bronght forth pro testa from the crowd. Sheppard put It all over Kelley until the hast of the third. Then Kelley al'.pped In a couple of wild hay-makers that Jarred Sheppard -badly and he went to the mat. and Mclnnla stopped the fight and the decision went to Kelley. Another clever bout iwaa that between William O'Brien. Seattle Athletic Club. and W. J. Steele. Washington Athletic Club. Steele is a glutton for punishment and lasted the three rounds, but had no chance to win on points. SIX INDICTMENTS FOUND UMATILLA GRAND JCKT PUTS IN 1 BUSV DAY.

DANCEHALL TO RUN Council Turns Down Protest of Mount Tabor Residents. OBJECTION IS TOO LATE After O. W. Hrxford Has Invested In Building and Taken Llcenae It Would Be Unjust 10 Inter Tene. It Is Ieclded. The people of Mount Tsrww met the City Council 4n combat yesterday and Wait their battle, when Councllmen Annand. Baker. Beldlng. In-lecrO. Dunnlrg. Hepp. ner. Wallace and Will oted against the passage of an ordinance prohibiting a dance-hall and skating rink at East Sixty-ninth and Belmont streets. Coun- t'lmen Bennett. Cellars. Coneannon. Cot- tel. Mcnefee. Rushlight and Vaughn voted In favor of the measure, but the ordinance failed by one vote. Captain O. W. Hoaford had applied for permission to operate a skating rink and dance-ball at Mount Tabor, to which ! people objected, as shown by their re monstrance, filed with the Counrll. They decisred to the members of the Council that the presence of the institution sought to be. placed there will be highly detri mental to property Intereats and to the morals of the community, and pleaded that their homes be protected. Councllmen Maker. Cellars and Drlseotl took up the fight In behalf of the danre- liall and skating rink and won it. on their argument that Captain llosford acted In good faith: that he took out hla building permit, frankly atattng for what purpose the building Is to be used; that he then secured hla license to conduct the link and expended about S1660 In construction work, and that he la entitled to reim bursement. If he la to be prohibited at this time from carrying out hla project. Mr. Vaughn was the chief advocate of the ordinance. Mr. Vaughn declared that. In undertaking to establish such a place In a residence community. Captain H'v ford took the risk of falling to secure per mission from the Council, and la not en titled to any reimbursement whatever. It being his own mistake. Mr. Vaughn ridi culed the Idea aet forth by Meaars. Baker and Cellars, that the Mount Tabor people pay Captain llosford at least part of the amount expended already. Mr. Bennett. In whoae ward the alte lies, aald that any man who would try to put such an Inst! tutlon In a residence neighborhood de serves to lose his money, and urged the passage of the prohibitory ordinance. A large delegation was present from Mount Tabor, protesting against the pro posed dsnee-hall and pavilion, some of whom pleaded earnestly with the mem bers of the Council to pass the ordinance prohibiting It. They urged that, aa the Council had prohibited Just such a place on Portland Heighta but three months ago, through the activity of Councilman Annand. It should be prohibited In this Instance. However, when the vote waa taken, their wishes were defeated. The people will take the matter Into the courts If the establishment is opened, they said Captain Hoeford aa yet hae no license for the link, the Council having with drawn the one he secured from the City Auditor prior to the filing of the remon strance. Councilman Menefee'a ordi nance, making It necessary to apply for such license to the license commutes, wss paased yesterday afternoon, and this will bring Captain llosford a application to this committee. If he makes one. In case be applies, the fight will be renewed the Mount Tabor people endeavoring to persuade the committee not to grant one.
