(Special ) Culminating In the adoption
of a resolution deWarlns; thai tho
vhnrch should not wash lt dirty linen
bfor ths es of tho public." the trial
fur heresy of Dr. William D. Grant, of
Northumberland. I'a.. rested late today
after a remarkable summing up on both
aide and tho Judicial committee of the
General rreabrterlan Assembly l ex
pected to report the case tomorrow.
Jude It. M. lltncsley. aenor couneel
for the prosecutiun. voiced an Impaa
loned Indictment of It. Grant.
"Thla man made the statement." de
clared Mr. Hinckley, "that Cod had many
inni, but that Jesus waa the moat con
spicuous and therefore the eon. When
fee declared that the Beth.wty sisters
played games and danced wtth Christ
and I .am rum, be waa apeaklnic aa a
worldly man and not aa a scholar.
Important Connia Kotracted.
The act of a Presbyterian minister
calling- upon a Unitarian preacher to
apeak at a Chrlstmia celebration Is like
ealltns; upon Jrff Pavts to euloKixe Lin
coln." pursued Mr. Hinckley, adding:
"He (Dr. Grant) declares God would
not sacrifice hie son any more than an
earthly father would."
The retraction by the prosecution ear
ly In the day of two of Its moat aenaa
tional counts disbelief In the deity and
disbelief In the reasurectlon of Christ
rerause no tangible evidence to proe
them bad been discovered, turned the
scales In faror of lr. Grant, fats sup
porters asserted.
Charge Traced to One Man.
The defense, too. played a trump card
In declaring that the Inception of the
scandal had been traced to one man.
The name mentioned was that of C O.
Van Alen. senor elder of fr. Grant's
church and superintendent of the Sun
day acbool. lr. Orant aatd that Vaa
Jklena aetlrltles had drlren his prede
cessors from the pastorate of the church.
Hurprise was ocoialoned when Dr.
Orant took the floor In his own defense
and attempted to Justify his broad con
ception of God. Christ and the miracles.
lr. Grant referred to those prosecuting
him as men "hut on the hunt for
Jaeresy."
Orant Makes Denial.
Dr. Grant denied that he Is unortho
dox la his vlewe. and attempted to
Justify his broad conception f God.
Christ aad the miraclea by quoting;
from sermons preached by Rev. Charles
Ijttle. of Wabaah. Ind.. moderator of
last year's aaaembly. and from sermons
from Dr. JotrstU the minister who
was brought from Kngland to fill the
pulpit of the Fifth Avenue Presby
terian Church. New Tork. .
According to Dr.. Grant, himself,
these clergymen In sermons daring; the
present aaeembly referred to the
broader conception of theology now
prevalent, which waa giving the peo
ple a better and clearer understanding;
of the deity. Dr. Grant said In part:
The appellee would state, without
any reservation, that his purpose and
method has rfr been, as It Is now,
to confirm men In the truth as It la In
Jesus, and aa presented In the doc
trinal atandards of the lTesbyterian
Church. All his life be has been a
1'resb) rterlan. and his ancestors for
generations back In Scotland, have
also held to this faith. It would be
a great grief, therefore, to him. If
through any miscarriage of Justice he
should be debarred from continuing; la
a ministry that has the greatest Joy
f.r him. and to which, more than to
anything else, he ewes hla mental and
spiritual development.
-No one could fce more deeply re
gretful than the appellee If anything
aid or written could give offense
itber to his fellow ministers of the
rhurch or to members of his congrega
tion. The church Is certainly broad
enough to permit diversity of opinion
ea matters not essential to salvation.

Interval since the clash of arms was
heard on the Islands. Keg Land has had
the opportunity to develop her concep
tion of law. order and powsr. She has
bees able to Impress her lofty Meals
of government on a larger aggregate
of people tr-ao any one empire in the
huwry of tie world."
A message was seat to ths King by
the diners and the secretary of the so
ciety, ttaxrls Britain, aad this reply
waa received:
-The King thanks the Pilgrims for
their kind congratulations on his ap
proaching coronation. He earnestly
hopes that the high Ideals which the
society has In view may be completely
real. zed."
uf the speakers the Canadian Pre
mier was the most Impressive, because
hut subject had aroused Interest In both
countrtea He said the majority of the
people who came from the I'nlted
fctates to settle took the oath of al
legiance to King George V. They had
found la Canada the same opportunity
and the same freedom under the laws
which they had on the ether aide of the
border. Moreover they had found that
democracy under Frttlsh monarchy was
not less than under a republic
He would not say that soma Ameri
cana did not coves the fair acres of
Canada: they would not be human it
tiiey did not. If the t'nited Slates
attempted to annex Canada, continued
the premier. It would not be by force
pf arms, but by sedition. In that event
Canada would reply as Diogenes did
to Alexander, "stand out of my sun."
There waa sun enough for both.
Ths last words of the Premier were
almost drowned la applause. "We be
lieve." he said, 'that the day will corns
of an alliance of all lands springing
from England's loins, ensnarln ths
peace of the world forever."
Federation of Empire Discussed.
The Imperial Conference opened this
morning with Premier Asqulth as chair
man and IS Colonial Premiers and Min
isters present. It discussed the co-ordination
of the navtes and land forces for
Imperial defense; the declaration of
London aa Imperial court of appeal: an
"all red" trsnsportatlon line to elrcls
ths globe, and a future constitution of
the British Empire. The hope Is ex
pressed that out of the discussion of
the last tople may come some deflnlte
proposal for the federation of the em
pire. The Anglo-American relationship Is
likely to be discussed in connection
with the question of Imperial defense,
aa also is the part which the Austral
asian navies ars to play In that de
fense, as Australia, since the visit of
the American fleet to that continent
three years ago. has come to regard
America as a possible ally In the polic
ing of the Pacific.
The fiscal question probably will
-take a back seat" in the discussions.
In view of the door bolted against any
thing in the nature of the Imperial
preference "

la them was much less.
The rush started because of contin

that the buying was for a famous spec

and found a decided scarcity of sellers.

News of the arrest In Portland of
Harry Mullen, the former Pittsburger,
on a charge of embezzlement, caused a
sensation In this city tonight.
Mullen was one of the best-known
business men of Pittsburg and conies
of an excellent family. Some time ago
Mullen mysteriously disappeared from
Pittsburg. His family seemed much
worried and the aid of the police was
asked In ths search for him.
The charge of embezzlement made
against him by Charles McGonlgle. also
a prominent Pittsburger, was kept very
quiet, however. The police bad been
quietly searching for him all over the
country and he led them a trierry chase.
In the meantime It became rumored
that his disappearance from this city
was mysterious and many advanced the
theory that ba had met with foul play.
