OPPOSE SECRET SOCIETIES.
Committees Report on Attitude Of
PRESBYTERIAN Assembly


Des Moines. Ia. May Y-This morning
the United Presbyterian Assembly placed
its seal upon the question of approving
the report of the Judiciary Committee,
which was to the effect that the question
was purely a civic one. and, therefore. not
one that properly can come before an &C.
clesiastical legislative body.
This afternoon the Committee on Ju-
dietary handed down its report on the po-
sition of the church as opposed to secret
organizations. 1t says in part:
"In view OF the existing diversity in the
Interpretation of the fifteenth article of the
testimony and In the application Of 1t by
sessions in the admission of members Of
secret orders and in view of the great
multiplication of these orders and Of their
diversity in purpose and character, the
General Assembly adopts the following as
expressive OF the mind of the church on the
subject:
'In the administration of this article, as
Of others Of the testimony sessions. the
church possesses the right to exercise q
wise discretion in dealing with such cases
as have fellowship in associations which
bind their members by oaths or affirmations
to obligations and to immoral secrecy, OF
which establish fraternal fellowship
among men subversive Of the unity Of the
body of Christ. 1t is especially obligatory
upon Christians to stand aloof from the go.
cieties which by their moral teachings and
religious ritual foster a belief in the saliva
bility of men apart from the mediation oi
Christ. We condemn such organizations as
demoralizing to our Lord and Injurious tc
men and persons who. with knowledge Of
the truth concerning them. adhere to sucf
associations. and they shall not be received
into church membership. All such societies
are included In the phrase Of the testimony
inconsistent with the genius and spirit oi
Christianity"

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Beaumont. Tex, May 27.-In the absence
Of developments in the Beaumont field. not
taking into account the new Guffey gusher
which came in on time Sunday morning.
considerable interest is manifested here In
the oil strike at Sour Lake last Saturday.
This afternoon a telegram was received
from ]. s. Burke. a civil engineer. who was
sent by Captain William Wiess of Beau
mont to investigate. saying that the !rill
in the Guffey well at Sour Lake had passed
through fourteen feet Of oil sand and that a
flow of Oil amounting to 25O barrels day
had resulted. Burke added that the well
was being sunk deeper. From another
source Information came to the effect that
the flow was not more than six barrels a
day.
Whatever the producing qualities Of the
deposit of OIL sand which was encountered
may be. 1t is accepted as a fact that the
oil is there, principally because 1t has been
found in that locality whenever wells have
been put down to a sufficient depth. The
gushers at Beaumont have served to blind
Texas operators to the value OF ordinary
flowing wells. In the East well producing
100 barrels day by pumping Is considered
q good proposition.
Value Of the Haywood Gusher.
The Haywood OIL Company. whose Sec
ond geyser came in last Saturday, has
closed number Of contracts for crude pc
troleum in the last week. President Tyrell
to-day pointed out very tersely the value OF
a gusher when he said that his company
could fill one contract by allowing It's well
to flow a single day, and that II this well
were allowed to flow continually for twelve
days. the product would be worth in the
gross q sum equal to Is per cent of the capt.
tai stock Of the corporation. which is $500
O00
A suit for $4,000 damages and a petition
for annulment of contract is the outcome
OF the failure Of the Spindletop OIL Com
pany to bring in the well on the property
Of the Keith-Ward OIL Company on Gushe,
Hill.
