Tlie Rev. John W. Stone, of Chieago, was elected moderator of
the general assembly of the Northern Presbyterian church on sec
ond ballot. His vote was overwhelming.
With cheers A at lasted several minutes the name of Rev. John
T. Stone, of Chicago, as a “non-political'’ candidate for moderator
was placed in nomination as a “dark horse” by Rev. J. R. King,
of Monmouth, Ill., at the assembly of the Northern Presbyterian
church late this afternoon.
With Dr. Stone’s name added to the list of possible moderators
1 lie nominations were closed with the Rev. Maitland Alexander,
Pittsburg; Rev. William McKibben, Cincinnati; Rev. Howard A.
Johnston, Bridgeport, Conn, and Rev. S. S. Palmer, of Columbus,
Ohio in the contest.
Rev. John P. Stone's unexpected nomination caused his name
to lead the first ballot. Commissioners declared, after the ballot,
that his election was assured.
The Revs. Howard A. Johnston, S. S. Palmer and William Mc-
Kibben were eliminated on the first ballot. The contest was
decided between Rev. Stone and Dr. Maitland Alexander, of Pitts-
■ burg.
The result of the first ballot was: Revs. Stone, 314; Alexan-
detf’ jHTfPUffifVyYld; Johnston, 65 and McKibben 46.
LYONS CHOSEN BY SOUTHERNERS.
Dr. J. S. Lyons, of Louisville, was elected moderaior of the
Southern Presbyterian Assembly on the fourth ballot Thursday
afternoon by 109 v tes, to 93 for Dr. R. C. Reed, of Columbia, the
other nominees having dropped out on the ballot.
Five names were put in nomination.
The result of the first ballot was: Dr. A. M. Fraser, Staunton,
Ya., 26; Dr. Lyons, 75; Dr. W. M. McPheeters, Columbia, 10; Dr.
AV McF. Alexander, New Orleans, 45, and Dr. Reed, 48.
Dr. McPheeters withdrew his name from the ballot and the
four were left to vote on.
Thursday saw the inauguration of the real work of two thou
sand delegates and visitors to three great Presbyterian Assem
blies, gathered in one city for the first time in the history of
America.
The actions of this great body of men will affact nearly two
million people, members of the Presibyterian Church in the United
States.
At the opening of the Northern As
sembly, in the Baptist Tabernacle, Dr.
Mark A. Matthews, the retiring mod
erator, delivered the sermon that is
always awaited with interest. H:s
subject was “The Victories of Faith
vs. The Failures of Unbelief,” and
he declared in a ringing talk that the
greatest need of the church was faith.
Three Candidates in Field.
For the moderatorship of the North-
I ern Assembly three candidates have
[appeared in the field. That the con-
f test will be hotly fought is almost
[certain, but all the indications favor?d
i y victory for the conservatives.
The candidates are Dr. Maitland
I Alexander, of Pittsburg, Pa., who haa
I the support of the conservative el-t-
I ment; Dr. S. S. Palmer, of Columbus.
I Ohio, and Dr. William McKibben, of
I Cincinnati, Ohio.
I The session of the Southern branch
I was opened by Dr. Thomas S. Clyee,
I of Sherman, Texas, the retiring mod-
1 orator, at the North AvenUe Church.
! Owing to the fcollcy pursued by this
i organization, which precludes all pol-
[ ltics in the election of moderator, no
j candidate has appeared for that oflh e.

sermon of the moderator, Dr. Thomas
S. Clyce, of Sherman, Texas.
Interest in the Thursday sessions
of the two assemblies centered, of
course, in the election of moderators
to head the assemblies of the
church scheduled for the afternoon
session.
Contest Narrows to Two.
Prior to the balloting:, however,
the contest seemed to have narrowed
down to Dr. Palmer and Dr. Alex
ander, with Dr. McKibben losing
ground slowly and Alexander in the
lead.
The first of the popular meetings
to be held each evening under the
direction of all of the three assem
blies will be held Thursday night at
8 o’clock, in the Auditorium. Tne

Hartman Boone. 13 years of age,
late Thursday afternoon accidental^
shot and killed his G-year-old broth
er, Irwin, while the two little fellows
were at play in the back yard of
their home, 23 Stewart avenue.
Hartman Boone was almost crazed
by the tragedy, and refused to be
comforted by friends who were at
tracted by his screams and rushed to
the scene.
Little Irwin was shot through the
neck wMth a bullet from a parlor rjfie.
The juglar vein was severed and he
died instantly. His brother is said
to have dropped the rifle, and, as he
picked it up from the ground, it dis
charged.
The two boys are sons of T. A.
Boone, of the Byrd Printing Com
pany, who was immediately notified
of the tragedy and hurried home.
Coroner Donehoo was also notified
and wMll hold an Inquest.

Colonel Thomas B. Felder,
noted Atlanta lawyer, Thursday
issued the positive statement
that William J. Bums would
take charge of the Phagan in
vestigation immediately upon his
return from Europe, June 1.
In tlie meantime a criminal in
vestigator will be sent from the
Bums Agency’s New York office
to prosecute hte investigation.
Colonel Felder gave out the
following dispatch received
from Raymond J. Burns, son of
William J. Burns, in New York,
which tells of the father's de
termination to take up the Pha
gan mystery:
Father still in Europe. Re
turns about June 1. He consents
to take charge of Phagan investi
gation immediately upon his re
turn. He suggests I send a good
criminal investigator to start in
vestigation immediately before
same gets too cold.
Colonel Felder declared his su
preme confidence in Burns’ ability to
clear up the Phagan mystery and
bring to light the person or persons
guilty of the murder.
Thinks Fund Can Be Raised.
He declared that his action in se
curing the detective was given impe
tus by the demands of Atlanta citi
zens to clear up the mystery regard
less of cost, and he expresses hia be
lief that sufficient funds to cover the
investigation will be easily forthcom
ing
Already, he declared, the founda
tion of a. fund had been secured
through the generous donations of
friends of the Phagan girl and other
people who have interested them
selves in the work. Colonel Felder
himself has turned over to the fund
the fee paid his legal firm to assist in
the prosecution.
And now, with the subscriptions
well under way. he declared,/ le pub

Statement by Fel r.
The time is at hand when I
deem it not only proper, but nec

My firm was employed by neigh
