TABERNACLE ROW ENDED BY PEACE PACTS Dr, MacArthur Tomorrow Will Announce That He’ll Stay. Deacons Return to Fold. An,agreement made public today, whereby all the differences in the Bap tlst Tabernacle congregation are set tled and Dr. MacArthur remains as pastor, holds the important provision ihat the concession of the minority to the majority shall mean an equal dis tribution of the church's financial bur den. borne hitherto by a few. The agreement further provides that the institutional features of the church, which include the hospital, shall in no way be disturbed. None of these provisions, however. Is to ht construed as meaning that there exists any further antagonism to Dr. MacArthur, say the doctors. Dr. Mac- Arthur will publicly announce tomor row his intention to remain with the church as long as his powers hold. The letter to the board of deacons containing the agreement reads tn part: Dr. MacArthur, in the early part of this year, accepted the work as acting pastor of the Tabernacle, and approved the appointment of a pulpit committee with a view to obtaining a permanent pastor. The sub-committee of seven rec ommended to the full pulpit com mittee the name of Dr. AV. B. Riley for pastor, which recommendation was tabled upon the expressed de sire of a majority of the commit ter for Dr. MacArthur. Dr. MacArthur recently has been led to reconsider his decision to decline the indefinite pastorate of tiic i hutch, and submitted to the board of deacons a paper outlining the conditions upon which he would accept the work. The church, by a large mapority vote, called Dr. MacArthur to the pastorate of the church, with some modifications of the conditions stati d. Resignation Rejected By Large Majority. T.ater at the same meeting Dr. MacArthur's resignation was pre sented to the church, which was rejected by a large majority vote. The minority felt that the action of the church in calling Dr. Mac- Arthur means the prospective abandonment of the institutional features of the Tabernacle work and makes permanent revolution ary innovations in the form of pub lic worship, and a departure from the pronounced emphasis given heretofore by the church on doc trines pertaining to the second coming of Christ and to the Holy Spirit. In view of the above statement of facts, as agreed upon by all present, we suggest: A recognition on the part of al! present of the elementary truth of the sovereignty of a New Testa ment church and the equality of all rhe brethren. Such recognition involves the un questioned right of the majority of the members of the church to rule in all matters, except those touch ing fellowship That the parties here present pledge to one another their stead fast adherence to the interests of the Tabernacle, provided that the present financial burdens now rest ing upon a few' shall be equitably distributed. •That the concurrence of the members of this committee in the i all of Dr. MacArthur as pastor shall not in any way be construed to mean the abandonment of the institutional features of the church or the doctrines for which it stands, CHARLES W. DANIELS. JOHN F. PURSER. CALEB A. RIDLEY. The letter from the compromise 'mninittee to Dr. MacArthur reads: I pen invitation of the board of deacons of the Tabernacle Baptist church, we have entered into a nfercr.ee w ith It relative to mat i. rs giowing out of the recent ac tion of the church in calling you to ihe pastorate of the same. We are advised that you contem plate severing your relations with ihe Tabernacle immediately. We deplore the fact that anything has arisen to give unpleasant publicity to the action of the church. We are of the opinion that there is nothing sufficient in the present situation to make It necessary for coil to sever your relations witli church at this time. On the contrary, we very earnestly urge upon you that you should remain ind lead the church forward in its great and growing work.

TEDDY GOING TO CHICAGO TO GIVE BATTLE TO BOSSES POPHAMS SEEK NEST IN PINES Many unceasing ties of friendship Bind our hearts together Where we may eat the turkey— All but the bone and feather. —William Lee Popham. Back to that dear old Central Lecture, circuit, where there are none of those meddlesome Atlanta police to hurl rocks into the epitome of romantic hon eymoon ; back where the dogwood blos soms lure to live-long lyrics and there are no more $11.41 surety bonds to give—back there has gone the evan gelist-poet laureate of Kentucky, love singer of the ages, William Lee Pop ham, with his pretty bride, Maude Mill er Estes that was. The young Narcissus arose in his room at the Terminal hotel this morn ing at 5 o’clock, dashed off the gemlet quoted above and thirteen other verses, and demanded that the hotel manage ment pay him $25 for the slights it put upon his respectability when it caused his arrest as an eloper two days ago. The hotel refused. Whereupon Mr. Popham went over to the mayor’s office to make a last plea that the may or refund him that $11.41 the city retained because he did not appear at the police court at the spe cific time to prove that he had really married Miss Estes nearly a month be fore he first’appeared in Atlanta. At the mayor's told the poet-evangelist they couldn’t pay him back the money because that was UP to the recorder. Thence straightway to Acting Re corder Preston went Popham and re iterated his appeal. Again hi- met re fusal. A Nest 'Mid The Sighing Pines. The recorder told Mr. Popham that it was now too late for a trial, because the charges had been quashed. Down in southern Georgia, where the pines sigh languourous lullabies of love and the nightingales sing—oh, so soul fully. there's the little town of Arabi nestling on the dunes. And Poet Lau reate Popham checked his baggage to Arabi, for Arabi possesses not only' all the scenario that poets love, but it is also on the line of the Central Bureau lecture circuit. Mr. Ponham said he would go there with his bride to love and lecture for a day, and that then they probably would come back to At lanta once more to see if the law couldn't find away to return to him that. $11.41. Before departure, however, Mr. Pop ham consented to give a reading of a few of his choicest epics to a reporter for The Georgian. Here is one he re cited from treasured memory: When the summer's ended With hat vest gathered In. The farmer sits at evening’ With a happy grin. And while he plays the fiddle And takes a. sip of wine, That's the time I think (If that sweetheart of mine. Mr. Popham bowed the entranced re porter from the Popham suite with his final gem selected from the precious store of 2'05 separate epics which he found necessary to run the gamut of "Truth, Love and Power.' Its title is "Love." Here goes: 1 dwell in mansions of pleasure, I am wild, I am tame, I am coy. 1 am here. I am there, 1 atn gone I am horn of a flame; I ant coy I'm the same in sorrow or gloom; I'm fairest of all. I am prince, I can n"t he <ha incd in by iron bands Nor hedger! in l>y any fence. 101 -Year-Old Augustan Rides on Special Train To Visit Son in Macon Jonathan Miller Joins Gymnasi um to Keep Young—Remem bers Days of Indians. MACON. GA.. June B.—So careful are his relatives of his welfare and safety that when lonathan Miller, of Augusta. 101 years of age. decided to visit his son. Judge A. L. Millej, in Macon, no chances were taken with regular trains, but a special train was engaged for him. He arrived yesterday afternoon on this special, which required twice the usual time to make the distance, be cause of the. low speed maintained by it. In Mr. Miller Augusta has probably the oldest citizen of Georgia. At his remarkable age he still has almost all of his faculties. Recently he joined the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium. He lives with his son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Robertson, on lower Broad street. Augusta, and has lived in that place or in Augusta practically all of his life. He remembers distinct ly the building of the first railroad from Augusta to Charleston, in the early 30s When he was a young man, Indians were roaming through that section of the country. Wjld game was abun dant. and deer, bear and wild turkey could be bagged within a few miles of Augusta. Mr. Miller recalls distinctly some of the first duels ever fought at Sand Bar Ferry, the famous duelling ground of the Augusta section. Mr. Miller has had a remarkable life, and, with the ex ception of his eyesight, still retains the greater portion of his faculties. He converses well, eats heartily, and is calmly and peacefully resting in the evening of life. PORCH SWING FALLS; WIFE HURT, ATLANTAN SUES FIRM FOR SIO,OOO M. E. Tucker, 48 Kelly street, thinks he should have SIO,OOO in damages from the Niall-Herin Company’ because a porch swing, bought from the latter, collapsed with his wife, baby and a neighbor woman. His wife's ankle was fractured. Tucker told the city court he had purchased the swing “to be used as porch swings are usually used.” It was installed, he said, by a sixteen-year-old boy sent out by the Niall-Herin Com pany and the screws were set in the "ceiling" and not in the Joists as they should have been. He said that on the afternoon the swing collapsed his wife, who weighs 125 pounds; his baby, weighing 20 pounds, and a neighbor woman, who hardly tipped the beam at 115 pounds, were in the swing. With this total weight of 260 pounds there was no ex cuse, he maintains, for the swing to fall, if the circulars he read regarding the "roughhousing" porch swings could mean anything. RAILROADS CRIPPLED BY FLOODS RESUME TRAFFIC Floods in the .Mississippi valley have reached to a point where the railloads washed out by the high waters are en abled to resume traffic, according to telegrams received in Atlanta today Campbell Wooldridge. Southeastern passenger agent of the Texas and Pa cific, announced today’ that the Shrevh po t gateway was again "pen. and th" fast route to Louisiana and Texas point- resumed. For more than a month all shipments have been routed by Memphis or New Orleans. Big Men of Nation Supporting Colonel Called to Windy City for Pow Wow Early Next Week to Lay Plans for Capture of the Taft Citadel. Steam Roller Going Well on Second Day’s Run, Arkansas' Taft Delegates All Seated: “Bat tling” Flynn, T. R. Aide, Says: “We’ll Have ‘Em Backed Against the Ropes Next Week.” CHICAGO, June B.—Six Taft delegates at large from Flor ida were seated by unanimous vote in the national committee this afternoon. There were two sets of contesting Roosevelt dele gates. CHICAGO, .lune B.—William Flynn, of Pittsburg—feelingly referred to by Taft men assembled here as “strong-arm Bill” Flynn—chief of the wrecking crew sent out to throw a monkey wrench into the machinery of the steam roller, arrived today just as the roller whistled to its engineers to come to their day’s task. Flynn immediately set about his job. He tried out the monkey wrench by hitting Congressman William B. McKinley over his metaphorical head. The national committee assembled at the Coliseum shortly after 10 o'clock for its second day’s contest hearing. The remain ing Arkansas cases were taken up. While the committee was in session. Flynn gave out a statement. He said: “There will he a big pow-wow of Roosevelt men here early next week. When we are through we’ll have the Taft forces backed against the ropes and begging ns to let them up. Roose velt has sent, out a personal call to his friends. The biggest men in the country will be here within a day or two. Roosevelt may come himself.” The Taft delegates in the Seventh Arkansas district—H. G. Friedheim and T. S. Grayson, were seated on roll call. Taft’s total vote on this contest was 32. This finished the Arkansas contest, giving Taft a clean sweep of that state. Roosevelt men generally admitted to day that the colonel will be here next week. This admission came after a long distance telephone conversation with Oyster Bay. Asked if he was going to tamper with the steam roller machinery. Flynn made some remarks about McKinley. "Ah, that sounds just like McKin ley » talk," he said. "He talks nothing but blather. If he keeps it up, Taft may get the Utah delegation, but that's about all.” Flynn Keeps Shy Os New Police. Asked if he intended to visit the Coliseum. Flynn remarked: “I don’t want to get pinched. They tell me the minute 1 got into town Mc- Kinley began yelling for the police. They've got a guard of detectives down there now. I don’t want to go to jail my first few hours in Chicago, so may be 111 stay away today. Also maybe I won’t” Flynn denied that he had been sent to supersede Dixon. "McKinley prob ably started that also," he said. While Flynn was talking the whistle of the steam roller tooted again. It had just run over two more Roosevelt delegates. The Taft men in the Third Arkansas district were seated. The steam roller kept on its way. The Taft delegates from the Fifth Arkansas district followed those of the First. Second, Third and Fourth on the tem porary roll of the convention. Taft at this time had been given 28 delegates by the national committee. Roosevelt had received none. In the Third district of Arkansas the contest was between R. S. Granger and J. F. Meyers for Taft and Tom Wil liams and B. F. McAllister for Roose velt. The Roosevelt side was presented by James A. Comer. After the two sides had been presented Frank B. Kel logg, of Minnesota, Roosevelt man, moved that Granger and Meyers be seated. The vote was unanimous. In the Fifth Arkansas district the first attempt of the Roosevelt men to secure a compromise was made. A motion that delegates from both sides be seated with the votes divided be tween them was made and was voted down. 10 to 41. The Taft men were then seated. Admit Merit in T. R. Indiana Contest. Indiana has a peculiar place in the delegate squabble. It is the first case on the list in which Taft men are will ing to admit that the Rooseveltians have any merit behind their conten tions. Its coming has been eagerly’ awaited by the men watching the crushing advance of the steam roller. Indiana has 30 delegates. The seats of twelve are contested. Among these are the four delegates-at-large. On the Taft delegation are New. Fairbanks, former Congressman James E. Watson, who was whip of the house in the hey day’ of the glory of Uncle Joe Cannon, and .Joseph D. Oliver, of South Bend, who has diligently manufactured plows until his industry netted him a couple of score of millions then he became politician. On the Roosevelt state <)el rgalion the names of ex-Senator Bev •eridge. ex-Congressman Frederick Lan- HOME tJMTION PRICE TWO CENTS dis, ex-lndiana Republican Chairman Edwin M. Lee and Charles H. Camp bell appear. . In spite of the fact that moat of these men beaf “ex” before their former pay roll designations, they are the biggest Republican politicians in the state. In diana has gone Democratic in three elections; the control of the “machine" has switched from the Fairbanks crowd to the Beveridge crowd and back again. When the contest over delegates to th» Republican national convention came up some of the leaders on both sides thought it would be a good time to car ry on a war of extermination. The final fight was to be made in Chicago over the seating of the Indiana delegates. ♦The Roosevelt hurry conference was called after that of Indiana. George W. Perkins, Walter Brown. state chairman of Ohio; William Flynn, of Pennsylvania; Governor Stubbs, of Kansas, and Governor Hadley, of Mis souri, are some of those to whom “cards” were issued. Dealing With Bunch of Crooks, Says Dixon. "Mr. Flynn is a man who has brains and the nerve. And he was sent here to help us deal with the bunch of crooks assembled here,” said Senator Dixon today. “We got two delegates from Ala bama, leaving the total 22 to 2.” he continued. 'There is no question but what we should have had the Ninth and Fifth. "Some men on the national commit tee are deliberately trying to murder the Republican party and to elect a Democratic president. The tactics are too raw, even for some of their own men. Although Murray Crane denies that he said it, we have statements from three persons who heard him say. The country will never stand for this.’ ” Congressman William B. McKinley, director of the Taft campaign and the man .who issues orders to the chauffeur of the steam roller, In a statement to day likened Colonel Roosevelt to Ajax defying the lightning. He said: McKinley Likens T. R. to Ajax. "While the Republican national com mittee yesterday was deciding against the Roosevelt contests in Alabama by a unanimous vote in every instance save one. Mr. Roosevelt was quoted as say ing at Oyster Bay that the Republican national committee was engaged in 'robbing' him of his rights. Fifteen members of the Republican national committee who voted for Mr. Roose velt's contest in the Ninth Alabama district decided otherwise in every other Alabama contest. "Theodore Roosevelt, if he performs in his customary way at this juncture, would like to make a. most dramatic entrance into Chicago. He would like to enter the doors of the convention hall amid acclaim of his followers, which would be music to his egotistical ears. Alone at Oyster Bay he is a brave man, and. like Ajax defying lightning, de defies even the unanimous verdiets of the Republican national committee, including his own friendr. lb needs the stimulation of thousands behind hi- b.u k to arouse his fighting blood, whii h is at its lowest ebb when alone.”
