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. Moderator Fight in K Northern Assembly. 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.

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 lic-spirited citizens of the/ fity, by popular subscriptions, woul4 »e asked to make up the shortage, i Colonel Felder’s stateme/ in full is as follows: / Statement by Fel r. The time is at hand when I deem it not only proper, but nec essary, that 1 take the public into my confidence relative to the fur ther proposed investigation of the Phagan murder case. My firm was employed by neigh bors and friends of the deceased shortly after the crime was com mitted to aid in the preparation of the case and the prosecution thereof.
