CHARGE OF HERESY SIIRS
Teachings of the Union Theological
Seminary Severely Attacked in Re
port to the Assembly.
C’harxes thtot heretical teachings are
bclna »,.react by Union Theological
Seminary. of New York, confronted
the comniisaioners of the Northern
Preabytertar. Assemblj at tlielr rea-
alon Monday afternoon
The accusations "ere contained In
one of the minority reports, already
printed In The Georgian, of the apo
dal committee on the re-eatabllahing
of relations between the church and
the seminary The report was signed
by Rev. F. <\ Montfort. I"). D., of Cin
cinnati.
The new theology was most vigor
ously attacked in the following para
graph of Hr Montforfs rei>ort
A theology which denies the su-
oernaturol: that regards sin n o*
as the result of an 'abrupt trans
formation* or the fall, but as ‘the
survival of the animal in man.
and salvation ‘not as an act,* but
a* 'a process rooted as sin is, in
the nature of man,’ that regard*
Chr'st ‘not as God and man,' but
a* ‘God m man’ and ‘a type to
which all men are ultimately
destined to conform,’ and whicn
acknowledges as man's supreme
authority not the Scriptures, but
the ‘lightt hat is in him,’ it not
the theology of the Westminster
Confession nor of the Presbyte
rian Church.
The Northern Assembly had been
stirred b> the charges that politics
had brought about the election of Dr.
John T Stone as moderator. Dr.
Stone at the beginning of the morn
lng session took occasion to reply in a
dignified manner, asking that all per
sonalities be laid aside and that if any
mistake had been made that it be
overlooked.
The most pretentious plan for the
amalgamation of the Presbyterian
Churches of America was made public
before the Northern Assembly. It
proposed a union of all the family of
Presbyterian (’hurches. Other pro*
posah* which have received indorse
ment have embraced the union of two
or three of the branches. None before
has ventured to suggest for actual
consideration the union of all.
“Elect Infant Clause” to Stand.
The majority of the committee re
ported that prospects were favorable
for a return to the former relations
between the church and the seminary
and that the directors of the institu
tion tppeared most willing to make
all the changes desired by the rep
resentative of the Assembly. They
asked that their committee be
continued so that the work of re
union might be effected.
The committee having In hand the
consideration of the “elect Infant
clause’’ reported to the Southern As
sembly with the recommendation that
the phrasing of the clause be let
at&nd a» It was. ‘
Dr. Stone Makes
Reply to His Critics.
The reply of Dr. John T. Stone to
the cry of 'politics' in his election as
moderator and a now proposal for
the federation of the Presbyterian
churches of America were the import
ant features of Monday's session of
the Northern Assembly in the Bap
tist Tabernacle.
Dr. Stone deplored the introduction
of personalities into the conferences
of the Assembly, but would not com
ment at length on the charge that his
election a. a “dark horse" had been
prearranged for six weeks before the
meeting of the Assembly.
If any have erred in judgment, let
us overlook it. or, better still, loo^ not
at it." he admonished the commis
sioners I wish to state that all I
have to sa:• is that I believe in God,
1 believe in my brethren and I be
lieve in doing my duty."
Deny Charges.
I>r. \V R. King, of Monmouth. III.,
v. ho made the nominating speech in
hi half of Dr. Stone, said in regard to
the charge that politics had been
piawil in th<‘ selection of the Chicago
man:
It is absolutely false. 1 nominated
him simply and solely because l re
gal ded him as the best man. There
was no chicanery or trickery or po
litical preariangement of any sort. I
wish to say that the story Is the cru
dest sort of an injustice, both to Dr. J
Stone and to the persons who assisted I
in choosing him to lead the deliber i- i
tions of the Assembly.”
\V. T. Kills, who seconded the/nom- |
inatlon, said:
"If there Is a particle of truth in the
story that Dr. Stone's nomination was
in any way prearranged then, obv?
ouvly, since we explicitly stated to the
contrary, neither Dr. Kine nor myself
is a gentleman or a sincere Christian.
Therefore, the* subject Is out of the
realm of discussion on my part.’’
Great Federation.
A federation of the entire family of
Christian churches of America under
a rtiore genera] plan than any pre
viously advanced, was approved at the
Monday morning session of the
Northern Assembly
A round of applause greeted the
proposition when it was placed before
the Assembly by Dr William H. Rob
erts, chairman of the special commit
tee on church co-operation and union.
Dr. Roberts eald that the plan was
considered by his committee as much
more effectual In bringing about a
speedy union of the Presbyterian
Churches than those which contem
plate only the union of two of the
branches, such as the Southern and
United Assemblies or the Northern
and the Reformed.
A motion to adopt the report of the
committee and authorize representa
tives of the Northern Assembly to
present the new rheme of federation
to the other Assemblies at their ses
sions Tuesday, was carried by a unan
imous standing vote of the Assembly
Back* Fu*ion.
Impetus was given the movement
for a general union of the Presbyte
rian churches of the nation by the
brilliant address of President Whal
ing, of Columbia Theological Semi
nary, who appeared as a representa
tive of the Southern Assembly.
"Time is bringing together the sun
dered parts of our great church,” was
the significant introduction to Ills
speech, which in its entirety was a
most forcible idea for the elimina
tion of all the differences which have
kept the church divided for more than
a half century.
"The history and lineage of our
church can never be divided." he con
tinued. "There Is no doctrinal gulf
which our ecclesiastical engineers
could not bridge. In spirit we are
one. We should be so in fact.”

Elect Infant Clause
To Remain Unchanged.
The taking of the report of the
permanent committee of systematic
beneficence from the docket of the
General Assembly of the Southern
Presbyterian Church la anticipated
with special Interest. It Is known that
ten overtures have been presented to
the Assembly from as many presby
teries touching this committee and
that requests have been made for the
•full restoration of former powers of
this committee.
During the Assembly of 1912 this
committee was deprived of some of
Its power and seven members re
signed.
The keenest interest was precipi
tated on the Assembly floor Monday
when a second report touching the
"elect infant clause" recommended
that the deliverance of the Assembly
of 1902 he reiterated; that the Scrip
tures warrant the belief that all in
fants dying in infancy are saved, and
that in view of this no recommenda
tion regarding any change in the Con
fession of Faith he handed down to
the presbyteries touching the "elect
infant clause.”
Dr. W. M. McPheeters. of Colum
bia. cautioned against the adoption of
the report.
Speaking for the report of the com
mittee of which he is chairman. Dr
T S. Clyce said the Confession of
Faith in its entirety suits him, but the
passage conveying the teaching of the
church on the election of Infants Is
not clear; that the people are de
manding a change of expression, many
wanting it stricken from the confes
sion.
The church, he said, gives forth the
hope that all Infants dying in Infancy
are saved, and that it is the duty of
the church to express that hope.
Sp sailing again. Dr. McPheeters
urged that all reference to the As
sembly of 1902 he stricken from the
report of the committee and leave
the report to recommend that no sug
gested amendment be sent down to
the presbyteries on this question.
Difference of Opinion.
Remarks from a number of com-
I missloners were heard, some speak
ing in favor of the report and others
1 Ir favor of the amendment.
When the call f or the question came.
| the vote was taken first on the
, amendment offered by Dr. McPhee
ters and the amendment was lost.
Before the vota on the report could
be taken. Dr .1 M Wells offered as a
substitute to the report the recom
mendation that the whole of the “elect
infant clause” be stricken from the
Confession of Faith.
The vote was taken and the sub
stitute was lost.
No recommendation for change in
the "elect infant clause” is sent down
to the presbyteries, and the Assem
bly reaffirmed the action of the As-
Fsembly of 1902.
| The remainder of the session was
devoted to addresses and reports.

finds much to encourage it in the re-
view ^ of cunditjpuf tbut confront the
church to-day in civil, social, moral
and religious lib*, and in various
agencies employed in bettering condi
tions. They rejoice in the "enactment
of the Webb-Kenyon Interstate com
merce bill-in the-closing days of the
last Congress, and its passage over
the veto of the President by an over
whelming vote by both branches of

Returns Home for Rest After
New York Triumph in Belas-
co’s ‘The Governor’s Lady.’
"1 love Atlanta. The thing which
pleases me most about my success is
that it has pleased my Atlan»a
friends.”
Miss Gladys Hanson Snook, one of
the most beautiful actresses Atlanta
has given the New York stage, fresh
from triumphs as one of the leading
players in David Belasco’s produc
tion of “The Governor’s Lady,” thus
expressed Monday her loyalty to her
home city.
She is at her home, 103 Cleburne
Avenue, for a month’s rest after hir
metropolitan engagement. This sum
mer she sails for Europe, returning
only in time for the Ne\y York open
ing of the play in which she added to
her fame this past season.
"Many of my Atlanta girl friends
are anxious to attempt a stage ca
reer. and already they are calling on
me." Miss Hanson has told Atlanta
friends. They start with well wishes
and congratulations and personal
chat, but always the conversation
works around to the question. 'What
chance would I have?’
“Southern Girl* Have Charm.”
“1 may as well answer them all at
once. Atlanta girls who have any
talent for acting will find the stage
no more difficult, but certainly to
more easy, than any other profession.
Indeed. T think the Atlanta girls
stand a little better chance of real
success than girls from other sections.
"Southern girls have a charm,
which is the birthright of Dixie, and
which managers are quick to recog
nize. Then the famous Atlanta spir
it’ is not limited. I feel pure, to the
men who are making the city famous.
This sptri* of enterprise, of persever
ance in the face of obstacles, ana the
habit of succeeding should help At
lanta's daughters as well as her sons.
"Sometimes! think, though, that the
rewards of the stage are hardly
enough to compensate for living away
from Atlanta. This is a dear, beauti
ful city; I always want to get back.”
Boy Near Death in
Fall Into a Sewer
• —
Three-year-old Isaac Janko, the son
of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Janko. of 127
Cooper Street, fell 18 feet into a
catch basin on Cooper Street' Sunday
afternoon and would have perished
had not the accident been observed
by John P. Burns, of 123 Cooper
Street.
Burns clambered down into the
sewer, where he found the child lying,
unconscious, in the shallow water at
the bottom.
The boy was taken to Cooper Hos
pital. 88 Cooper Street, and is in a se
rious condition.
Burns suffered painful, but not se
rious. injuries.

general belief that they were signifi
cant and that some new plan was
being determined.
More Arrests Are Denied.
It was positively denied by the trio
of officers, however, that any new ar
rests were to be mfide.
"I don’t know who it would be,” re
plied Chief Lanford when asked a di
rect question.
The first conference was held when
Solicitor Dorsey summoned Chief
Lanford to his office. The two were
closeted for nearly an hour. Then
Chief Lanford called Detective Scott
to the police station. The Pinkerton^
man, when he arrived, declared he
had no idea what the chief should
want with him. He and the chief
were behind closed doors for fully an
hour or more.
"We have merely been looking
over the evidence in a general way.’’
said both officers when they emerged
from the office.
Asked as to the nature of his con
ference with the Solicitor, Chief Lan
ford made the same reply.
"We w'ere just going over the evi
dence,’’ lie said.
No Friction, Chief Asserts.
Chief l^anford also denied that
there had been any friction among the
officials over the work on the mys
tery, or that the conferences had any
bearing along this line. As to a re
port that he had withheld evidence
from the Solicitor, Chief Lanford
said:
"I don’t remember of having with
held any evidence. Mr. Dorsey didn’t
ask me anything about this report
at all."
The Solicitor and the Pinkertons
have held no conferences. Detective
Scott makes reports to Chief Lan
ford and these are submitted to the
Solicitor.
Detective Scott said. Monday that
he still has five men at work on the
mystery, but refused to discuss any
particular line on which they are
working.
Colonel Thomas B. Felder an
nounced Monday morning that he had
received word from William J. Burns
that he would arrive in America be
fore June 1 and would probably be on
the scene o'i the Phagan slaying be
fore that date.
Colonel Felder said the great de
tective had taken an unusual Interest
In the Phagan mystery and he would
not be surprised to hear from him In
America any day soon.
"Burns is more interested in this
udse than I have known him to he ii:
another,” said Colonel Felder. "I am
advised that he will hasten his re
turn from Europe on this account and
be in America some days before June
1. He will, of course, come direct to
Atlanta.
“The meantime developments since
hi« investigator has been here are
more than satisfactory. The Burns
detective convinced Mr. Dorsey Sun
day afternoon that he had touched
upon heretofore overlooked evidence
of importance, and in his report to
day we expec t valuable information.”
Search Grows More Active.
With investigation into the mystery
more active Monday than it has been
at any time during the last two weeks,
the Solicitor was hopeful that impor-
;ant developments would be made
during the day.
The special representative of the
Burns agency was reported to have
struck upon an important and hereto
fore overlooked clew that throws a
new light on the case. He will make
a definite report at 11 o’clock this
morning at the office of the Solicitor,
when it is not unlikely some an
nouncement will be made.
Leo M. Frank, the factory superin
tendent, received a large number of
visitors at his cell in the Tower Sun
day. He would not discuss the case,
or even comment on it. He said his
health was fine and he had accus
tomed himself to the daily routine In
prison.
The examination of the handwrit
ing of the negro, James Connolly, held
at the police station in connection
with the murder of Mary Phagan,
failed to connect him with writing
the notes found near the slain girl’s
body in the basement of the pencil
factory, according to City Detective
John Black, Monday morning. The
detective said that unless the negro
could be connected with the crime in
this way there was nothing against
him.
FAST TRAIN
Atlanta Party Has Remarkabl-
Escape in Collision at East
Lake Road Crossing.
Five prominent Atlantans had a re
markable escape from death a rail
road crossing on the East Lake Roa'i
Sunday afternoon when a Georgia
Railroad passenger train struck the
big Winton Six automobile in whicn
the party were riding and hurled them
all out.
The autoists were J. H. Hirsch, of
345 Myrtle Street, owner and driver
of the car; Mr. and Mrs. L. R. Car
michael and the 15-year-old son and
12-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs
Carmichael. All escaped without a
scratch, except Mr. and Mrs. Car
michael. who were slightly bruise#,
but badly shocked.
Winter Alfriend and Hughes Rob
erts came up in a machine just after
the accident happened. Mr. Alfriend
took Mrs. Carmichael in his machine
and rushed her to her home, 645
Edgewood Avenue, Inman Park.
The Hirsch car was badly dam
aged.
Hirsch Tell* of Crash.
The accident occurred about 5:30
o’clock as the party were riding into
town over .the beautiful East Lake
Road. Mr. Hirsch told the story of
the accident to a Georgian reporter
as follows:
"There is a little house and an em
bankment at the East Lake approach
to the crossing and I could not see. I
had slowed my machine down to a
walking pace and listened for a train,
but could hear none.
"JusJ. as we came upon the track
the iron monster was upon us. I do
not know at w-hat rale it thundered
up. but it looked as big as all the
trains I have ever s«een combined into
one.
"We were almost on the track. I
shoved on my emergency and turned
my car as much as I could in the di
rection the train was going.
No Time to Leap.
"That was all that saved us. In
stead of absolutely demolishing us
the train sideswiped us. We all tried
to jump, but did not have time—we
were hurled out.
"Except for the shock none of us
were hurt to amount to anything.”
