A HITTER ATTACK OtJ S Southern Presbyterian Assem bly in Session at Louisville, Ky., Is Stirred by Bitter De nunciation of Catholicism. ATTACKS CHIEF JUSTICE Rev. D. C. Painter Denounces tlie Church as "a Menace and Blight to the Government Attacks Xews pnpers for Suppressing CrlMcitun of the Church and Chief Justice White for Attending Jesulte Col. lege The Record Demagog. UNITED TRESS LEASED WIHB. Louisville, Ky., May 23. De nunciation of the Roman Catholic church as a "menace and a blight'' of the government Jor "favoring" it; of the press for failure to criticise it, and of Chief Justice White, of the United States supreme court, because of his education in a Jesulte school, stirred the Southern Presbyterian assembly tio Its depths here today. The Roman Catholic denunciation was contained in a resolution intro duced by Rev. D. C. Painter, of Yan cey Hill, Va., who spoke in its sup port. The resolution reads: "Resolved, That this assembly views with serious concern the growth and pernicious activity of the powerful politico-religious organiza tion known as the Roman Catholic church, which is and always has been a menace and a blight to the civil and religious liberty of every land where it has obtained a foothold; that this assembly views with serious concern the apathy of public men concerning this menace, the evident disposition of the general govern ment to grant special favors to this organization, and the ominous silence of the public press ooncerning ad verse criticisms of this body, and at the same time its readiness freely to advertise all that Is interesting to this so-called church. "Resolvedi, That this assembly ap point a committee of five to report t on a practical method of advising the ' whole people of the dangers of this I domination and to invite the influ , ence and co-operation of other Pnot . estant bodies to offset it." I In his speech Painter accused the newspapers, for business reasons, of suppressing adverse criticism of the Roman Catholic church; charged 1 congressmen and senators with fear ing it, and declared that the appoint ment of Chief Justice White was a menace to the country. "The very fact," he said, "that 1 White was educated in a Jesuit school should disqualify him for that high office." A special committee was appointej by the assembly to consider the Painter resolution. THE NEW COURT'S FIRST DECISION FAVORS TRUSTS Washington, May 23.

He might possibly have tuned up on a supreme court decision, or loaded up on an opinion from the attorney general's office anyway, and wherever he got It, he had accumulated a jag that he should have made two trips for.
