“Economical” Democratic Ad
ministration Plans Distribution
of $300,000,000.
WASHINGTON, May 17.—Th<- fat-
test "pork barrel" in the history of.
the nation is being built by the most
"economical’’ Democratic Administra
tion It will hold $300,000,000 of
"fat” and will be distributed through
the medium of the new House Com
mittee on Public Roads. The money
will be distributed at the rate of $50,-1
000,000 a year for six years.
In authorizing this committee, the
House ••acceded" to the wishes of the
President, who originated such a com
mittee in the New Jersey Legisla
ture. but, to be sure, it had no such
fabulous amount at its disposal
The plan of those behind the* move
ment for Federal assistance in the
building of roads contemplates the
issue of bonds for the entire amount,
the proceeds to be parcelled out in <
six equal instalments. Jonathan
Bourne. Jr., formerly Senator frory
Oregon is pushing the project.
Chairman Underwood, of the House
Committee op Committees, declares
this committee will be named and I
take charge of the many bills for j
road improvement now pending be
fore Congress. It "ill relieve the
House Committee on Post Offices anil
Post Roads, •
With the organization of this
standing committee the Committee*
on Public Buildings and on Rivers
and Harbors will no longer be the
premier “Pork barrel" committees.
The Committee on Public Roads
will assume that distinction The
Rivers and Harbors appropriation bill
last year carried about $40,000,000 and
the Public Buildings bill about $30,-
Tliis new committee arrangement
defines the attitude of the Democratic
Administration and of the Democrats
in Congress. A fight was made
against battleship construction and
authorization during the last session.
Bu! one battleship was authorized, it
will cost about $16,000,000.

a disapproval of all secular uses of
the Sabbath, all games and sports In

all excursions, and urged upon all
employer* of labor and captains <»f
Industry to recognize the need of the
working man Mo his weekly rest day.
Hearty support was given the Satur
day half holiday.
One of the novel recommendations
was that Jhe faculties of colleges and
seminaries be asked to omit recita
tions on Monday mornings so as to
leave the Sabbath free of the neces
sity felt by some of the students to
prepare their lessons on that day.
Sunday newspapers came under the
ban of the resolutions.
It was urged that the Cnited States
refuse a giant for an exhibit at the

White House Sabbath
Kept by Wilson.
Sabbath desecration was vigorously
scored in a report rendered to the
V. S. A. Presbyterian Assembly Sat
urday by the special committee on
Sabbath observance.
The committee took much hope for
the observance in the departments of
the Government from the fact that
the President, Vice President and
Secretary of State all are elders in
the Presbyterian Church.
"With the accession of a Presby
terian elder to the office of Presi
dent." said the report, “we are pleased
to note that the White House is now
closed on Sundays against politics
and pleasure seeking. The offices are
shut: neither the President nor any
of his secretaries ever appears in
t hem."
A country-wide tendency toward a
return to the stricter Sabbath observ
ance of earlier days was reported.
The Sunday closing of postoffices was
cited as one of the important exam
ples The seven-day week has been
abolished in the majority of the
country's big steel plants. The Amer
loan Telephone and Telegraph Ciim-
pan.v is reducing Sunday work to the
lowest minimum.
Efforts to inaugurate the wide-open
Sabbath in various sections of the
country have resulted almost uni
formly in failure, according to the
report.
The committee recommended that
members of the church flood their
Representatives in the State and na
tional Legislatures with protests
against any measure which will serve
to break down tlie Sabbath.

Seminary Doctrines
Scored In Report.
The resumption at the present time
of close relations between I'nion
Theological Seminary and the Pres
byterian Church is bitterly opposed
in two minority reports submitted to
the Northern Assembly hv a special
ly appointed committee Saturday aft
ernoon.
Rev. F. C. Monfort, of Cincinnati,
who signed one of the minority re
ports, said in denouncing the doc
trines taught at I'nion Seminary:
“A theology which denies the su
pernatural; that regards sin not as
the result of an ‘abrupt transforma
tion* or the fall, hut ‘the survival of
the animal in man,’ and salvation ‘not
as an act.’ but as ‘a process rooted
as sin is in the nature of man.’ that
regards Christ as ‘not God and man,'
but as ‘God in man' and a 'type to
which, all men are ultimately des
tined to conform.' and which ac
knowledged as man’s supreme au
thority not the Scriptures, but the
‘light that is in him.' is not the theol
ogy of the Westminster Confession
nor of the Presbyterian Church."
Await Reports as Signal.
The commissioners had awaited the
reports as the signal for the opening
of the real battle between the con
servatives. or old school Presbyte
rians. and the radicals, or adherents
of the new school of*religious thought.
I’nion Theological Seminary has
been the battle center in Presbyte
rianism since it displayed a tendency
to follow along the lines of thought
regarded as most daring by the con
servative churchmen.
War clouds have been hovering
j over the present Assembly since its
gathering. The issue has been con
servative against radicalism. The
introduction of the two minority re
ports was expected to precipitate the
struggle for religious principles and
l-furnish the most clear-cut alignment
of factional partisans that any As
sembly has provided. Some hoped
that the issue might he settled once
I and for all
The majority report was signed by
the Rev. J. F. Carson, chairman of
the committee. The members of the
committee who joined with Dr. Car
lson expressed the belief that the sem-
; inary, which is largely supported by
Presbyterian subscriptions, was de
sirous of meeting the wishes of the
Presbyterian Church in the matter of
religious instruction.
MULES DISPLACE FIRE
DEPARTMENT HORSES
j SAl Gt'S. MASS.. May 17. Mules
are to-day taking the place of horses
'in the Saugus Fire Department. Cap-
I lain Max Hatch, of Hose No. 2. gave
the mules a good tryout. He found
I them speedy, instead of stubborn.
Captain Hatch says that every time
the tire hells ring the mules prick
up their ears and are ready for the
stall doors to swing open.
nizing the Huerta administration and
many persons pledged themselves to
join Hie boycott. Some stores dis
played signs to-day reading:
"Only Mexican and European goods
sold here."
The press has taken up the boy
cott idea and is attempting to inflame
the populace against Cnited States
goods.
Orozco, Traitor, Is Report.
A report was current here to-day
that Pascual Orozco, Jr., formerly one
of Huerta's most formidable enemies,
Pit who swore allegiance to the Guer
in government six weeks ago. again
has changed his colors and has cast
his lot with the Carranza rebels in
Nuevo Leon. Orozco has a big fol
lowing in the north.
Although congress is rushing the
hill authorizing the borrowing of $85,-
j (KKi.ooo abroad, the newspaper. El
pais, states "on the best of authori
ties" that the foreign financiers will
refuse to make the loan until the gov
ernment at Washington recognizes
the government at Mexico City.
Papers Attack Wilson.
Mexican newspapers are making
violent attacks on President Wilson.
El Imparoial declares it is Presi
dent Wilson’s policy to let Mexico de-
stn*\ itself for lack of financial help,
and when the state of chaos is com
plete to annex the republic to the
Cnited States La Tribuna says:
"The attitude of the Cnited States
is suspicious."
The Herald says ['resident Wilson
is being informed by rebel Juntas in
the Cnited States.

United Board of Missions Rec-;
ommends Evangelistic Com
mittee in Each Presbytery.
Giving special attention to evan
gelism the report of the Board of
Home Missions of the United Pres
byterian Church recommends the for
mation in every presbytery of a Pres
byterian evangelistic committee, to be
composed of capable men who are
willing to fulfill both their presbyte-
rial and pastoral duties. The report
declares that this committee “should
seek to develop and maintain in all
of the congregations within the pres
bytery a true and continuous evan
gelism."
The following are suggested as an
outline of some of the things such a
committee may undertake:
1. Keep the work of soul-winning
prominently before the presbytery and
report at each meeting the conditions
of the churches along the soul-win
ning lines
2. Arrange for a presbyterial re
treat or an evangelistic conference
early in the fall of each year.
3. Arrange for a visitation of each
congregation in the presbytery by a
delegation selected by the evangelistic
committee for the purpose of hold
ing an evangelistic institute.
4. Assist the pastors in arranging
for a series of special evangelistic
services in every congregation of the
presbytery some time during the year.
