Attempt to Save Church and
Rural Life Department Fails
in Assembly.
Defenders of the < hurcfi and ( min-
try life department of the Hoard of
Home Missions went down to an in
glorious parliamentary defeat at the
forenoon session < f the Northern
Presbyterian Assembl\.
As a result the* report of the exec
utive commission stands that tills de
partment "shall be discontinued as
soon as practicable."
Every attempt to revise this deci
sion ran against a stone wall In the
rulings of the moderator. One com
missioner after another essayed to
speak on the report, but each was told
that no question formally was before
the assembly.
Rev. John Deans. »»f Brooklyn. N.
Y., asked what interpretation was to
be made of “as soon as practicable’’ —
that uiv. n b> I>r. Mark A. Matthews
• n presenting t ac i c|»ort Wednesday, or
that he gave Thursday, or the one he
presented Friday morning.
Rev. Deans was informed that he
was to accept the final explanation.
Rev. T. M. Hall, of tlie Erie. Pa., Pres
bytery, sought to introduce a resolu
tion bearing on the subject, but was
ruled out of ordei.
Bars Reconsideration.
As a final recourse, one of the com
missioners moved for a reconsidera
tion of the portion of the executive
commission’s report bearing on the
department of church and country
life. Moderator Stone ran his eye
over the house and ruled that two-
thirds of the original assembly con
sidering the question must be present
to vote on a reconsideration, it was
the moderator’s assumption that the
two-thirds was not in the audito
rium.
Although the church and country
life advocates were forced to accept
defeat in their fight to establish the
department permanently as a part of
the Board of Home Missions’ activi
ties, those at the head of the work
declared that they would be able to
accomplish this at the next general
assembly.
"We will simply continue the de
partment through the year and then
come before the next Assembly, on i
our record." is the- statement made
Friday of their contemplated plan of
• campaign
Professing Ohristians who epend j
Sundays in their automobiles or on
the golf course came in for unre
strained criticism from Rev Fred
erick J. Suuber. of Mut< *• lltj.«, N. V.
who submitted the report of-the com
mittee on Christian life and work,
Apathy Blamed for Vice.
The a pa tin and indifference of
• ’hristian people was blamed by Dr.
Sauber for the rapid progress which
the white slave evil has. made. He
called attention to the falling away
from the church of the younger gen
eration and ’ leaded for more active
evangelistic work. Judging by the
figures of addition? to church mem
fcership, he estimated that it required
about a half hundred persons one
year to get one new member into the
church.
W H. Houston, secretary of the
vacancy and supply d. partnnmt of
the Presbyterian (’hurch, said that
there were 3,000 young men in the
country who had studied for lie
Presbyterian ministry who were still
without pulpits, while there were
many churches about the country
without preachers Hi • department,
he said, was for the purpose of re
lieving this situation. He asked f1v<
years for a trial of the new plan.
Drug Traffic Attacked.
Looking toward the remedying of
these conditions, the Assembly vote.1
to instruct the moderator and stated
clerk to write, through any of the As
sembly boards, to every minister ol
the church urgin ■ him to bring to tiv
attention of ever> family in hie
church the needs of the ministry for
young men.
A strong r it e n against in tel
state tram< in opium, cocaine and
other similar dugs was introduced by
Dr. (’. A. R. Javier, of Philadelphia,
and passed by the unanimous vote of
the Asst mbly.

TO JUSTICE
Recorder Says Woodward Crip
ples Courts by Granting Par
dons and Remitting Fines,
Continued From Page 1.
Woodward also instructed the police
j not t" mol ext. Roper, as he was con
sidering an application for pardon.
Roper is still at liberty, nothing more
.having been heard from the Mayor.
Another instance referred to by Re
corder Broyles in his Interview was
the Dan Shaw case. Shaw’ was known
as the "blind tiger king” and received
a twelve-month sentence in the
county chaingang and a 30-day sen
tence in the city stockade. Govern-)* !
Brown pardoned him on the chain- |
gang sentence, with the stipulation j
that Shaw would leave Georgia and j
go back to Virginia. Appeal was made i
to Judge Broyles to remit the stock
ade sentence of 30 days, but he d< -
dined. Mayor Woodward granted
this pardon.
Mattie Lou White was convicted in
November. 1912, on a blind tiger
charge in connection with an im
morality charge. She was fined $500
or 3ft days, and bound over to the
State courts. The sentence given by
Broyles was sustained by the Court
of Appeals and her arrest was or
dered.
Woman Also Is Free.
She had been out on bond since the
time of her arrest. She appealed to
the Mayor and was given a letter to
the police instructing them not to mo
lest her, as he was considering her
appeal for a pardon. She is still at
liberty. The letter is dated May 7.
R. L. Dixon, the man who was con
victed on an immorality charge in
connection with Mattie Lou White, is
confined^n the city jail and will begin
the servng of his stockade term. The
White woman called upon him at po
lice headquarters this morning. Judge
Broyles points out this case as an in
stance of how the court's work is be
ing hampered, charging that the seri
ous violators of the law are at liber
ty. while Dixon, who is held on a
lighter charge, is serving his sen
tence.

Truce on Hubbert.
When no further movement was
made Friday in the effort to oust the
Rev. .!. M. Hubbert from his position
as A -sistunt Stated (Jerk of the As
sembly, it became known Ihht a truce
had been patched up’ between his
friends and William II Roberts, the
Stated Clerk. Dr. Roberts had been
working hard to have the office of
assistant abolished. He gave econ
omy as his reason for recommending
the change. . The office pays $3,0ftft
a nnually.
The members of the large Chicago
delegation were happy to-day over
the unanimous acceptance of tlie in
vitation of th*‘ Fourth Presbyterian
Church of that city for the 1914 As
• mbly. This is the church of which
Moderator Stone is the pastor. The
First Presbyterian Church of Atlantic
City. N. J., was the only other candi
date for next year, hut the indications
arc that there will be a hot tight on
for the privilege of entertaining the
commissioners in 1915
The resignation of Duncan J. Mc
Millan from the Boaid of Chur. It
Erection, which was announced
Thursday afternoon, was not entire
ly unexpected. Dr. .McMillan had been
known not to be in sympathy with
many of tin* moves of the board in
th>' past. His stand on the John S
Kennedy memorial fund was the final
straw that made bis resignation vir
tually a foregone conclusion. He was
i bitterly opposed to placing it in th«
I loan fund, contending that it was il
legal. When the Assembly voted, al-
1 most unanimously, to place it In the
i loan fund, he announced that he could
j no longer serve.
Tribute Paid Roberts,
j Resolutions of respect and thanks
I 1 were passed In honor of Stated Clerk
Roberts in view of the fact that he
had reached the thirtieth anniversary
of his election to the clerkship of the
assembly. The resolutions noted that
nearly two million dollars of the
church’s money had passed through
his hands and that he had done more
for church co-operation than any
other member of the denomination.
He was given a leave of absence for
two months to make the foreign trip
with the commission which is seeking
to bring about a world alliance of
(’hristian religions. Dr. Roberts re
sponded feelingly to the tributes paid
him.
