An Interesting Session of the Ministerial
Union Held, in the Course of Which
Glass Record Is Reviewed and
Then "Resoluted' On.

The session of the Ministerial union
yesterday was, as compared with the
one held Monday, quiet and peaceable.
Yesterday afternoon about thirty of the
pastors of the city churches met at the
Y. NJ. c. A. auditorium on Broadway and
"resoluted against the chief of police,
John NJ Glass.
The sentiment that Glass had failed to
do his, duty was quite general among the
ministers but Rev. Burt Estes Howard
defended him. DR. c. C. Mclean also
did his best but it was without avail.
Rev, win A. Knighten said that he
was tired of getting on my knees be-
fore this outlaw" referring to the chief.
Rev. j. A. B. Wilson also said that he
thought it i'll beftted ministers to get
on their bellies and crawl before the
big man.
So finally the anti-Glass resolutions
were adopted after discussion lasting
over two hours, by a unanimous vote.
The gentlemen did not get down to the
endorsement of the candidacy of Julius
II. Martin for mayor. It was nearly
O'Clock when they adjourned They are
to meet again at an early day, possibly
next Monday, when they Will take up
the matter lii the meantime Mr.. Martin
is can%assing the ministers individually
and making his pledges for support.
1t was exactly o'clock when the meet
ing of the union was called to order yes
terday afternoon, when the minutes of
the last meeting Were read and ap-
proved
Rev ]. A. r. Wilson then moved that
representatives of the press be invited
To Ina tn 10 q u q mr. a n
port Of the proceedings. The motion
prevailed.
The first order of business was the pre-
sentation Of the report of the commission
appointed al the meeting held on Mon
day to see Chief Glass and to formulate
evidence. The report was read as fol-
lows:
THE COMMISSION REPORTS.
The commission met according to ap
pointment at the study of Frat NJ. E.
church and organized by electing DR.. J.
A. 3. Wilson chairman and Rev. j. w.
Ball secretary. The following address
was formulated:
