A SHORTER CREED
Presbyterian Revision COmmitte
Makes Some Slight Changes.

Presbyterian REVISION COmm1ttee e
Makes Some Slight Changes.
Washington, Dec 16.-The revision
committee of the Presbyterian church ad-
journed to meet in Philadelphia Feb. 5
next.
It's work was completed in a tentative
form, including a shorter creed for use in
the churches in connection with the ordi-
nation OF ministers and ruling elders; a
declaratory statement in the vernacuiar
of the day for popular use informing the
public generally of the faith held by the
church, and the new articles are to be add
ca to the Westminster confession re-
lating to the love Of God for all men, the
work of the Holy Spirit and missions
The shorter creed makes no change in
theology Of the church. but seeks to make
plain the faith held by the church in those
points that have been criticized and at
tackled. So far as it was possible to do
so this statement was made in the Ian
guage of the Scriptures. When the COM
mittee meets in February it will finally
pass all these subjects for presentation to
the general assembly at it's session the
May following.

Madison, Wis, Dec. 16.-The apportion-
ment of the school fund income has been
completed and certified to the secretary
Of state. The total, 81, ,639 625.01, is more
than double the apportionment last year,
owing to the increased assessment of
property which is causing the political
opponents of the administration so much
anxiety, an anxiety not shared by the edu-
Gators of the state, who see in the in
crease in the apRortionment the oppor-
tunity to make long needed repairs and
other improvements.
When the tax commission last winter
prepared the bill, which was passed by
the legislature, requiring property to be
assessed at its real value, 1t also, realiz-
ing the large increase which would result
in the one-mill school tax, prepared a bill
which provided that the school tax should
not exceed $850, 900. This bill was killed
in the senate, and the schools get the
benefit
Added to the school tax in the appor-
tionment is the interest on trust funds.
which amounts this year to over 5000, 900.

son of school age in the state, June 80,

RIVERS FAILING
Portions of Pittsburg and Allegheny
Suffer Severely

Pittsburg, Dec. 16.-The crest of the
flood and the lowest point touched this
winter by the mercury were both regis
tered at the same hour, a. M, when
the Smfthfield street bridge marks showed
Is feet inches Of water in the Mononga-
hela river, and the government ther-
mometer indicated degrees above zero.
The rivers are now falling here and at the
head waters and the temperature is stead
lly rising. Only the sudden drop in the
temperature averted a disastrous inunda-
tlon. AS 1t was the lower parts of the
Point district and Duquesne way and low
lands along the Monongahela' river, South
Side, were submerged. In Allegheny the
river front was entirely under water. The
cellars in many houses were flooded and
people were compelled to move. The
damage in the two cities probably will
reach 100000. In addition to this many
mills and factories along both rivers were
forced to close down temporarily and
thousands of men and women will be out
of work.

COULDN'T Make A CASE
Hanson Murder Trial at Grand Rap
ids Came to an Abrupt End.

Special to The Journal.
Grand Rapids, Mimi, Dec. 16.-The state
failed to get to the jury in the case of
Andrew Hanson, on trial for the killing
of his wife last September. There was
evidence to show the fact Of death, and a
motive was found for the homicide, but it
was impossible to make much progress
beyond this point. 1t was shown that
Hansen, on the day Of the killing, had
been overtaken while on his way from
Deer lake to the Rapids and that he had
asked a ride from the driver of the vehi-
Gle, saying his partner had been shot.
Later, and before Grand Rapids was
reached, he told the driver that it was
his wife and not his partner who had been
killed. But even at that time the claim
was made that he shooting was accidental.
There was thus nothing in the state s
case to establish the death as the result
of intent rather than accident.
Senator G. G. Mccarthy appeared for
the defendant. A motion was made to
dismiss at the close of the states case,
and after some animated argument was
granted by Judge McClenahan.
