PRICE FIVE CENTS wan a w AV w v -- I- - - - --- MUCH OPPOSED TO TOBACCO USING PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY GOES ON RECORD AGAINST USE OF THE "WEED." RESOLUOION IS ADOPIEO Notwithstanding Opposition to Smok ing or Chewing on Part of Ministers or Laymen, Convention Says It Is All Right for a Presbyterian Judge to Grant Saloon Licenses. Denver, May 27.-That clergymen and laymen should not use tobacco; that it is not customary to the princi ples of the church for Presbyterian Judges to grant saloon liceen.,es, and that it is not contrary to the princi laymen shall Inquire into a method to be pursued in seminaries In teaching "modern theology," were the princi pal matters approved by the general I assembly of the Presbyterian church today. The clause regarding tobacco came in the consideration of the re port of the temperance committee. Discussion of this report dragged through the morning session into the afternoon. The report commended President Taft, Emperor William and President Eliot of Harvard university for being teetotalers, and urged the ministers of the church to petition congress to stop interstate shipments of liquor, to discontinue the issuance of internal revenue receipts in pro hibition territory, and to prohibit the use of the mails for the distribution of liquor advertising or liquor. The Rev. Ellsworth L. Rich of Watsonville, Cal., introduced a resolu tion providing. that ministers should not use tobacco. A layman, in at tacking the resolution, dared Mr. Rich to include in his resolution lay men as well as ministers. Mr. Rich amended his resolution to include lay men, and after some debate the reso nution was adopted a mid cheering. The next trouble, over the temper ance report, arose when a commis 'soner urged the adoption of a resolu tion that judges who are meiobers , the church should refuse to grant li censes for saloons, even though it hi his legal duty to do so. Several speakers tppose'l this with the turgu inent that a judge should not he criti cised for his notions tuttlr the low. "God grant that our judges do not resign upon such an occasion," said one commissioner, "for it will only pave the way for worse ones." The matter of "modern theology and courses of study to meet with modern conditions," caine up in the report of the committee on theological seminaries. The recommendation of the committee said that while there was a demand for advanced teaching it was their b ýllef that the doctrines of the Presbyterlan church iri suffi cIent to meet modern conditions. The assembly passed resolutions of condolence on the death of Samuel i . Young, a commissioner from 'Twin Falls, Idaho, who died this morning of heart disease. Tonight in the Central Presbyterian church there was a huge public hear ing, at which Governor John F. Shaf roth gave an address of welcome on behalf of the state, and Mayor Speer on behalf of the city. Addresses were made on "The Semi-Centennial of Presbyterianism in Colorado." The special committee on the place of meeting for 1910 tonight decided upon Nashville, Tenn., as the next place of meeting of the Presbyterian general assembly. Chicago and Atlantic City, N. J., contested for the 1910 assembly.

BAILEY FIGHTS WITH PRESS WRITER TEXAS SENATOR HAS FISTIC AL TERCATION WITH CORRE SPONDENT OF PAPER.

Washington, May 27. Senator Palley of Texas and W. S. Mlanning, representative of the New York Tmi's, in the senate press gallery, exclanged blows just as the senate' adjourned today as a result of :t i Versation they hail in reference Ii an article printed by the New York newspapers questioning the sincerity of the senator ii his course on the income tax. Neither was Injured, as they were s-lierated by Senator Clapp, Porto Rican Commissioner Larringa, a number of senate employes and sev eral newspaper correspondenits. Mr. Palley in the senate muale a bit ter attack upon the author of an ar ticle in the New York Times, charg rig that Senator Bailey had pltayed into the hands of Senator Aldrich by his course in demanding an immediate vote on the income tax amendment, and had thus caused a split of the forces supporting such an amend ment. Mr. Manning accosted Mr. Iliiley after adjournment to inform him that he was inaccurate in sug cesting republican senators as a pos sible source of inspiration for the ar ticle. Passes the Lie. Mr. Bailey asked who wrote the ar ticle, and at the same time declared, it is said, that the pian who had writ tell it was a "liar." The senator's language was very emphatic, and Mr. lit tmrig responded that he "had not had the honor to write the story." Mr. Balley said the word "onpr-" was e-ipthasized in a manner Intended t to be offenslvi'. The twoi men were directly in front of the douor leading I to the finance icotmittee, and also in front of one of the private elevators. c Several persons heard the word "liar"' proclaimed in a loud voice, and thenti "a%, r. bailey and Mr. Manning t clinch. The latter claims Mr. Bailey hit him first. In the rnixup Mr. Man- le ring struck the senator with his um brella, knocking off his hat, and the senator grabbed Mr. Manning by the throat. t Just at that moment the elevator stopped at the senate floor and Sena tor Clapp and Mr. Larringa stepped r out. Without waiting to learn the cause of the disturbapce, Mr. Clapp t throw hi. -_- ,,... threw his arms around Senator Bailey,. who at that time seemed to be in a position to do serious injury to the correspondent, a young man of very slight build. The Texan struggled desperately to break from his restraint, but Senator Clapp tightened his hold and newspa per correspondents pushed Mr. Man ning away and insisted upon his leav ing the corridor. Mr. Bailey's speech in regard to the article was one of the most scathing arraignients of a newspaper corre spondent that has ever taken place in the senate. The senator not only asserted that the writer of the article was "an in famous liar," but that he was a "mis erable creature, unfit to associate with honest men,.

A PARTIAL VICTORY FOR COUNT DECISION OF FRENCH COURT ALLOWS BONI TO SELECT CHILDREN'S INSTRLCTORS. Paris, May 27.-Tile decision of the superior court of Count Itoni de Cas tellane's appeal of thu case, brought by himt' for the custody of hIs chil dren, was handed down today and is a partial victory for the count. It confirms the decision of the1 lower. court, giving the mother the custody of the children, but it sets forth tlut the father alone had the ml;-ht to choose their instructors and desi'mgilte the college in which they were to tie educated. Furthermore Prince Belle de Sagan is excluded from the list ofr persons authorized to visit the chil dren and the count's contention that the influence of the prince is perni cious is thus in effect sustained. The costs of the appeal are divided. If the parents cannot agree on a school for the two boys within a fortnight they are to be sent to the Lycee of Janson, where only the mother, the grand- y mother and George Gould may visit c them. The decision sets forth also tI that "whatever the character and it past of the Prince de Sagan is it is a not right that the princess impose g upon 'her chidren the influence of her a new husband to prejudice their affec- d tion for their father."
