Body Debate on Liquor Ques
tion Comes Wednesday.
COLUMBUS, O., May JO. After a
(spirited discussion, ddring which It
vai charged that an attempt was being-
made to build up a Catholic , hier
archy, the Presbyterian general assem
bly today adopted the . report of the
special committee on administrative
agencies, referring to the presbyteries
overtures relating to changes in the
form of government of the church,
which provide for the establishment
of executive committees by the pres
byteries, synods and general assembly,
of which the moderator of the re
spective organizations shall be the
'nend. If the majority of the presby
teries approve these overtures, the
committee will report to the next gen
eral assembly a plan for the executive
committee of the general assembly.
The report of the committee was pre
sented at the morning session, but ac
tion was not taken on it until the
closing hours of the afternoon.
Cry of Hierarchy Raised,
The recommendation for the estab
lishment of tho executive committees
met with vigorous opposition. Rev. Dr.
Doremus, of Michigan, declaring it was
an attempt to set up a Catholic hier
archy, and Rev. Dr. Alexander de
nouncing It as born of the spirit of
oligarchy and a blow at the basic prin
ciples of the church.
Tho proposition found warm sup
porters, however, and strong defense
was made of It by the chairman of the
committee. Rev. Dr. James Moffitt,
president of the Washington and Jef
ferson University. He declared that
the proposed change In the form of
government was in perfect harmony
with the principles of the church; that
it did not mean a concentration of
power, but rather an execution of
power.
Plan of Executive Committee.
The committee in its report sug
gested that the general assembly's
executive committee should consist of
15 members, of whom the moderator
is to be the head; that officer being
elected to serve for an entire year in-
teady of during the session of the
general assembly, as at present.
Under this plan, any question, except
It be of a judicial nature, may be re
ferred to the committee for adjust
ment during the interim between the
sessions of the assembly. The plan
necessarily extends the powers of the
moderator, who would act as the rep
resentative of the church as occasion
may require, visit the synods, presby
teries and other bodies as may be
deemed advisable in the Interest of the
work of the church, and counsel with
the committees and boards of the
church when required to do so. Th
committee would counsel with rne
moderator on all matters which he
may choose to lay before it; tako such
action as may be required to further
the orders of the assembly and make
an annual report with such recom
mendations as it may deem advisable
to the assembly. The adoption of the
report of the committee today does not
bind the assembly to these sugges
tions. Act on Temperance- Wednesday.
JBy unanimous vote the assembly
made the report of the committee on
temperance a special order for Wednes
day afternoon, at which time the con
troversy between the Interchurch
Temperance Federation and the Anti
Saloon League will be threshed out on
the floor of the assembly.
Reports of the board of missions for
froedmen, the college board and the
commlttoo on Christian work among
tailors and soldiers were also pre
sented and adopted today.
Move to Absorb U. P. Church.
Ninety presbyteries have indorsed the
overture of the Erie presbytery to the
general assembly asking that a commit
tee be appointed to open negotiations
with the United Presbyterian church
with a view of bringing about a union
of that body with the parent body. The
United Presbyterian Church has about
125,000 communicants, and outside of its
adherence to the psalmody of David
there is said to be no vital point of dif
ference that would prevent a union.
FAVORS CLOSER RELATIONS
Keport to Southern Presbyterians on
Council of Union.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., May 20. The
special committee named to consider the
constitutionality of the articles of agree
ment and the overtures bearing on closer
relations of churches using the Presby
terian system made a majority report
this afternoon. The committee was com
posed of 13 ministers and 13 elders. It
has been divided, the vote standing 16
to 10 on every count. The majority re
port says that of 79 presbyteries reporting
B0 favored and 27 opposed the additional
articles and two took no action; that
the general assembly can adopt the
agreement without violating the consti
tution; that the 12 representatives in the
council be divided into three classes of
four members each, consisting of two
ministers and two ruling elders; that
the moderator appoint a committee of
I've to nominate these 12.
The minority holds the adoption of the
agreement unconstitutional.
Suggest Former Oregon Man.
PITT8BURO, May 20. Three Pullman

ment in the Sunday-school system was
the first topic considered by the

Drink Negroes Greatest Curse.
WASHINGTON, May 20. "The so
ciety Work for the Negroes from a
Southern Point of. View" was the topic
of an address by' Dr. S. C. Mitchell of
Virginia at tonight's session of the
American Baptist Home Missionary So
ciety. He declared that the South looks
more and more to local option as an aid
to the solution of the negro problem,
"for we of the South realize that drink
Is the negro's greatest curse."
It was pointed out at today's meeting
that $75,000 of the 1150.000 for the repair
ing and rebuilding of San Francisco
churches following the earthquake had
been given by John D. Rockefeller.
DEFENSE SHOWS ITS HAND
(Continued From First Pace.)
require strong evidence to remove. He
had read the Socialistic papers which had
been put in hli mailbox for several
months past. Because of his opinion,
Mr. Masters was challenged by both
sides, and stepped down.
Frank Marcellus, a rancher, originally
from Illinois, was excused by consent. He
stated that he had some prejudice against
circumstantial evidence and had ex
pressed an unqualified opinion.
George Powell, also a rancher and a
native of Kansas, finally proved accept
able to both sides and took his place
as juror No. 5. Mr. Powell said he had
neither opinion nor prejudice in the mat
ter. He is about 60 years of age, with
grizzled beard.
String of Prejudiced Men.
The defense then waB called upon to
exercise its fifth peremptory challenge.
It was directed against Joseph Chinn, at
No. 8, a hackdrlver and a Democrat.
George Fletcher, president of a local
bank, said he had a very strong opinion
and was quickly excused.
Frank Gess, farmer and stockraiser, de
clared an opinion as strong as the pre
ceding talesman and was also allowed to
go.
W. I. T$allklll, telephone manager, had
conscientious scruples against capital
punishment and Sumner Dee. a merchant,
had expressed too strong an opinion.
The next man up for examination was
Forrest See, rancher and stockgrower.
His opinion was fixed. He stepped aside.
Crawford Moore, another banker, was
quickly challenged for bias.
Lee Scrivener, a farmer, was put
through -a thorough- examination and ac
cepted without a challenge. He served
as a Sheriff for three years in Kansas.
Mr. Scrivener declared he knew of
nothing that would . prevent his
rendering. a fair and impartial
verdict as between the state and
the defendant. The evidence would have
to be conclusive, he said, before be
would convict in a capital case.
"Did you ever hang anybody while
Sheriff?" asked Mr. Darrow, of the defense.
"No. sir; we didn't do much hanging
back In Kansas," said the juror.
Prejudice Against Dynamiting.
Mr. Darrow then renewed the exam
ination of .Mr. Fisher as detailed above.
Mr. Fisher declared he had no preju
dice against the Western Federation of
Miners as an organization, but he had a
strong feeling about some of the things
charged to It.
"And you accepted the crime charged
to the organization as a part of the
history of the Industrial troubles of the
country?" asked Mr. Darrow.
"Yes, sir. I did."
"Just as you accept the historic In
cident of the surrender of Cornwallls at
Yorktown. or Lee at Appomattox?"
"Now you are getting at It right," con
tinued the Juror amid laughter. Mr.
Fisher added, however, that he would
not be afraid to be tried for his life by
a juror feeling as he did.
After Mr. Hawley had examined C. P.
Allen, Mr. Fisher, "who told the court
that he had not expressed an opinion
as to whether the defendants were or
were not guilty of the Colorado mur
ders, but merely said that. If they were
guilty "they ought to have been strung
up." Judge Wood overruled the chal
lenge and the defense noted an excep
tion.
The next peremptory challenge being
with the state E. F. Richardson, for the
defense, registered another formal pro
test against the state being allowed 10
challenges under the new law. He de
clared that the old law, allowing the
state but five challenges, was in force
and effect when the Haywood case was
set for trial. Judge Wood overruled
the objection and again the defense
noted an exception.
State Challenges Over Protest.
The state exercised its sixth peremp
tory challenge against William H. Mc
Guffin at No. 6. Mr. McGuffin Is a
Boise real estate dealer.
Joseph H. BreshearB, a farmer de
clared he was opposed to circumstan
tial evidence in capital cases. He was
challenged by the state and excused
by Judge Wood over the protest of the
defense.
George Fisher, a patriarchlal rancher
with a flowing white beard, also de
clared he had a prejudice against cir
cumstantial evidence in capital cases.
"I do not form conclusions very easy,
either," volunteered the elderly Mr.
Fisher, "but when I do they stick."
Lawyers Make Judge Tired.
He was challenged by the state, but
Mr. Darrow resisted. He and Senator
Borah questioned the talesman time
and time again along various lines un
til Judge Wood finally sighed and said:
"Whenever you gentlemen are
through the court is ready -to rule." The
challenge was sustained and the de
fense noted the usual exception.
Five talesmen next were excused In
rapid succession. Four of them had
firmly fixed opinions and the other was
opposed to circumstantial evidence.
John Whitlock, a nurseryman, was un
der examination as a possible juror for
No. when court adjourned.
ORCHARD'S HISTORY LEARNED
Defense Tells Story of Confessed As
sassin's Fall From Grace.
BOI3K, Idaho, May 20. When Harry
Orchard takes the witness stand for the
prosecution in the Haywood case, counsel
for the defense will confront him with
what purports to be a record of his life
from the cradle to the Idaho penitentiary.
According to E. F. . Richardson, of
counsel for the defense, the real name
of the man using the alias of Harry Orch
ard and Thomas Hogan is Harry Moore.
He was born in Canada, and about 13
years ago went to Syracuse, N. Y., with
his parents, who are believed to be liv
ing there now. Later Harry, so It is
said, went to a small town near Port
Huron, Mich., and worked in a cheese
factory.
While in Michigan, it Is alleged, Moore,
alias Orchard, alias Hogan, became a
member of the Masonic Lodge at Detroit
and his name still appears on the records
of the fraternity as Harry Moore. Up
to this time his life is said to have been
exemplary.
When he came to the Western mining
camps Moore is alleged to have assumed
the name of Orchard and gradually to
have become a reckless and dissolute
character, finally disregarding early pre-

More Proof Moyer Is Ex-Convict.
BOISE, Idaho, May 20. So vigorous

Washington, May 20. Secretary Gar
field today approved new. regulations
governing the administration of rein
deer herds in Alaska, under which it
is expected that close track will be

In the government, but has provided
for loaning deer to missions under
rigid contracts. They are to get only
12 deer in each 100 each year for caring
for herds, out of the increase of herds,
and are required to provide for appren
tices from the remainder of the in
crease. Supervision of herds of all
kinds is placed In the hands of dis
trict superintendents pf schools, and
also local superintendents at various
stations.
Killing or otherwise disposing of
deer except to native Alaskans is for
bidden, and close records of herds are
also to be kept and reported to the In
terior Department here. General charge
of the reindeer administration remains
with the Bureau of Education.
