LONDON, Sept. 22-[Copwight Henry
E. Abbey and Maurice Grau to-day meet
ex-Judge a. J. Dittenhoefer at the Savoy
Hotel, and with him visited George Lewis,
of the London law firm of Lewis & Lewis.
A long conference was held upon two legal
points raised by the burning of the Metro
politan Opera House, the liability of the
Opera House directors to Abbey & Grau, and
the latter firms position with regard to the
artists who had been engaged for the opera
season. Mr.. Abbey this evening said that
as result of the conference the artists had
been notified that Abbey & Grau were un-
able to fulfill their contracts for the opera
season.
"Do you apprehcnd any legal trouble on
this point?" The DISPATCH reporter asked.
"No," replied Mr.. Abbey, ~ do not, It
is absolutely impossible for US to carry out
our contracts since the destruction Of the
Metropolitan, as our entire opera plans
were based upon the New York produc-
tion."
Mr.. Abbey bore himself with his usual
nonchalance of manner, but he said: "This
is the heaviest blow 1 have yet suffered. I
have undergone greater financial reverses,
but this is the first time / have ever been
compelled to announce that was unable to
carry out my own contracts.

A DOCTORS DOCTRINE
Leads Him Into Trouble Four Times
With His Presbytery.
ACCUSED OF POOR ORTHODOXY
Because He Doesn't Believe All Of the Old
Testament Literally.
PROCEEDINGS OF PAN-PREsBYTERIANs
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,

| ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPArcH.t
CLEVELAND, Sept 22-Dr. speecher
and the Cleveland Presbytery are again in
trouble over the Euclid avenue pastors
orthodoxy. At the regular fall session at
Northfeld, O., DR.. Speecher's case was
called for the fourth time in two years.
The complaint charged DR.. Speecher with
being hereto because he had declared the
opening chapters of Genesis to have been
Of pagan origin; because he had said the
biblical references to the Garden of Eden
were of pagan rather than divine origin;
because he had referred to the narrative of
the flood as mythical, and because he has
laughed at biblical accounts of the exodus
of the Children of Israel and their march
through the sands of Arabia as full of un-
reasonable and incredible state ments.
Complaints of the Doctors Accusers.
These teachings, the complainants set
forth, tend to beget doubts in the established
historical faith Of the Presbyterian Church
concerning Bible records, conducting to
overthrow all confidence in them as the in
spired word of God. The committee to
whom the matter was referred reported that
Dr. Speecher declared his position to be
that of conservative and higher criticism,
for which reason it was recommended that
no further action in the case be taken. and
that the Presbvtery reafirm its condemna-
tien of all views or utterances which tend
to denial of plenary inspiration of the
Scriptures, or any of the fundamental
doctrines of the confession of faith.
DR.. Speecher stated that he was ready to
meet any charges, and that If he could not
be orthodox or preach in the Presbyterian
pulpit unless he held the views of DIR. Hall,
of Cleveland, he would be willing to be
called a hereto, and could find other places
to preach. Finally the report of the CON-
mittee was adopted. To-day Dr. Speecher
said:
DIR. Speecher Explains His Position.
''The charges pending against me were
fully discussed, and achieved signal vic
tory. 1t was alleged by the gentlemen who
brought the charges against me Wednesday
that I do not believe in the inspiration of
the Scriptures That is not the case.
have repeatedly said, and fully declared
my position before the meeting, that do
not believe in the verbal inspiration of the
Scriptures; that is to say, I do not believe
that the writers of the different books
which form the Old Testament set down
every word just as they received it from
God. believe they were inspired to write
those books or chronicles, but that they
used their own languages in doing so, and L
am not prepared to say that they may not
have made errors in recording what they
had received through inspiration from God.
'tMy accusers claimed that do not be-
lleve in the inspiration of the Bible at all,
which, as you see, is a misconstruction-
whether willful or not I Idon't know-ot my
views"

STICKING TO THE FORCE BILL
Louis McComas stirs Up the Animals in His
Old District.

Louis McComas Stirs Up the Animals in His
Old District
CUMBERLAND, Nd, Sept. 22.-(SpecidL
Hon. Louis E. McComas late Congress
man for the Sixth district of Maryland,
and now Secretary of the National Repub-
lican Committee, dropped his work at New
York long enough, 1t was stated, to make
some campaign speeches in his district in
behalf of Mr.. Wellington, the Republican
nominee, and against Congressman Nc
Kaig, the present incumbent and Demo-
cratic candidate for reelection. He made
a speech here last night In which he advo-
Gated the passage of the force bill, using
the, same arguments advanced by him when
in Congress, and at the time that unpopu-
lar measure was under consideration. This
action is not relished by Wellington and
his friends, who know that it was McCom-
as bitter denuncistion of the South that
alienated from him many votes and caused
his defeat when he ran against McKaig.
McComas was a candidate for renomina-
tion this year, but, finding that Wellington
had the upper hand. he withdrew. Inas-
much as he and Wellington have always
been at odds, it is now charged that Nc
Comas is using the force bill as q club with
which to knock out Wellington just as he
was himself knocked out As the Sixth
district is the only one in which the Repub-
licans have fighting chance, McComas'
course is not at all relished by the party.
