Greed Revision Is Leading Issue
Before Presbyterian Cen
eral Assembly.

Philadelphia, May 22.-That creed
revision is the leading issue of the
Presbyterian general assembly was
strongly evidenced during today's
sessions, when almost every speaker
took occasion to mention the subject
during the curse of his address.
Shortly before adjournment, Rev.
Richard Holmes, of Pittsburg, startled
the members by launching into a dis
cussion of the question, but when he
stopped long enough to announce that
he was simply leading up to a point
in connection with his appeal for as
sistance in removing the mortgage
from the New York Presbyterian
building, no objection was offered.
A motion was made to hold meet
ings of the assembly during the de-
bate on revision at the Academy of
Music. but was not acted upon, as the
order of the day took precedence. The
committee on church policy presented
a resolution containing numerous de-
clSlOnS on the OvertureS submitted by
the various Presbyteries
The factional disturbance in the
Church of the Covenant at Williams
port, Pa, which had been referred to
the judicial committee, was ordered
tried according to the provisions Of
the book of discipline.
In a stirring address Robert E. Speer
of New York, secretary of the board
of foreign missions, defended the mis-
%sionaries against the malignant and
venomous criticism" which he said
they had suffered since the boxer up
rising in China Several foreign mis-
sionaries made brief addresses while
the report of the committee on foreign
missions was under discussion

BETWEEN TWO FIRES.
Peculiar Position in Which a
Missouri Judge Finds
Himself.

Kansas City, May 22.-S. c. Peden,
on of the two st. Clair county judges
recently sent to Jail for refusing to
order a tax levy to pay interest on
bonds for a railway in that county
that was never built, is said to be
willing to obep the federal courts
mandate. Mob law had previously
been threatened in st Clair county
at the slightest sign of paying for the
bonds, and if Judge Peden should
agree to the levy it is believed by fed
eral officers here that the citizens of
the county will deal severely with
him.
For years the judges of that coun-
ty have refused to order the levy
when ordered to do so and different
sets of judges have been ordered sent
to jail by federal courts sitting in
Kansas City. Two sets of judges have
spent their terms behind the bars.
A month ago three of the newly
elected judges stole into Osceola at
night to hold court and to issue a tax
levy to run the county. Judge Peden
and Judge Thomas hewitt were ar
rested and brought here, but the third
judge escaped. Judge Peden was SEN
fenced to the Bethany Jail and Judge
Nevitte to Warrensburg.
Judge Peden sent his resignation
to Governor Dockery today and says
if it is not accepted he will obey the
order Of the federal court and sign an
order for the tax levy.

PLAN MEETS WITH FAVOR AT
WASHINGTON.
ASSURES EMPIRES ENTITY
British Proposition Regarded as
Most Feasible That Has
Been Advanced.

Washington, May 21.-The state
department has been made fully &C
quainted by Mr.. Rockhill with the
character of the propositions relative
to the floating of the loan at Pekin,
While grave objections are perceived
to the Russian project for a joint
guarantee of the loan because of the
immense difficulty Of securing the as.
which would entangle the United
States with foreign nations for more
than a quarter Of a century at least,
there is nothing in Rockhill's instruc-
lions that would cause him to antago-
nize the British proposition provided
it is fully developed SO as t. secure
the safety of the loan, while assum-
ing the integrity of China.
It is suggested that these objects
can be best secured by causing China
to deliver to each nation bonds, bear
ing 4 per cent interest, to the face
value Of that nations indemnity claim.
The nation holding the bonds could
dispose of them at it's pleasure. 1t
could afix it's WI guarantee and sell
the bonds in the open market.
The claim for the collection and dis
tribution of interest contains the
germ of the guarantee of Chinese in
tegrity. 1t is proposed that an inter-
est board of financiers collect prac-
tically from China the moun of the
income which the ministers at Pekin
have decided can be obtained without
running the country, this money to be
divided up between the powers in the
shape of interest in exact proportion
to the bonds held by them. In case
of default by China, each nation will
lose in proportion, and a special cove
nant will bind each power to refrain
from individual action against China
to secure payment Of the arrearage
or to sieze territory in lieu of inter-
est in default.
It is calculated that thus each pow
er will find it to it's interest to prevent
a division Of China.

Mr. Ross was 40 years of age
November 10. He was born in
Fleming county, KY, and has two
brothers and one sister living He
came here from Mt. Sterling, KY,
seven years ago. About two
years later he went to Smithville
and had been manager Of hard
ware store there for w B. Leach,
of Kearney. The store has had a
large business.
In the accident that cost Mr..
Ross his life, Clay Berry, the
driver of the wagonette, was una
BILE to control the frightened hor-
ses after line broke. He jumped
also. The last words Mr.. Ross
said were to his wife, telling her
to jump for her life, as he held
her arm and assisted her as best
he could. Mrs. Ross was badly
stunned by striking the ground,
and when she regained conscious
ness no one had found them. She
saw her husband lying on the
ground, and on going to him heard
him breathing heavily. Friends
soon arrived. 1t was about $3.50
at night. Mr.. Ross was uncon-
scious to his death.
John Ross was a man who found
delight in doing things for the
happiness of others, and was
very devoted and kind husband.
He, in return, was blessed with
true and loving wife, and she has
the sympathy of all in her great
sorrow. Mrs. Ross will make her
home here with her sister, Mrs.
Homer Black.

Some Old Relics.

Col. John Cunningham, one Of
the ''Noble Old Romans, of Bour-
bon county, has at his country
home, "Rosedale, y near Escondida
beautifully carved hardwood
flax spinning wheel which has de
scended to him. from its original
owners of ninety years ago. The
wheel was made by the great
grandfather of Judge James Ha-
zelrigg, ex-Chief Justice Of the
Court of Appeals, for Miss Mary
Bean, then fifteen years of age
Miss Bean afterwards became the
wife of Senator John Cunningham,
the present possessor of the wheel.
Another interesting relic of the
olden days is clock made by
Thomas and b. b. Marsh, of Paris,
In 1928, and now owned by Mr.. S.
b. Ewalt, Of Paris. 'sUncle Sam''
prizes the old time-piece very
highly. 1t is nine feet in height,
keeps the moons phases and the
day of the month correctly. The
clock had never been moved from
the old Ewalt farm until recently,
and had not been wound since the
death Of Mr.. Ewalt's father, which
occurred in 1878. A local jeweler
went out to the farm, brought the
clock to town and cleaned and re-
paired it. Since then it has kept
time remarkably we'll. Every part part
of the venerable old time keeper
was made by hand. d.-Paris, .(Ky.)

Where 'Tis2

Now that we have water works
and it has been seen that they
work to perfection, why not have
some system about our fire alarm2
A person hearing the alarm as it
is now never knows where the fire
is. The writer stood in his yard
Tuesday night until he was almost
frozen trying to locate the fire.
For instance a colored man was
running out the Levee pike with
half a dozen dogs and children,
mixed, following him Deputy
Sheriff Jones, racing madly up
Locust street. Superintendent
Stephenson was rushing frantic
ally around from "corner to cor
ner" anxiously asked ''where
tbs, " while several people were on
the top of house nearby and all
of them looking in different direc-
tions yelling "yonder tbs. =
We finally saw a light and got
started and turned the wrong cor
ner and when we got pretty near the
Grassy Lick pike we heard man
say the fire was out. If you run
to the engine house, the chances
are they have gone or are in the
same fix as the above mentioned
people. 1t is true we have no fire
boxes, but until we do get them
why not ring the number of the
Ward?
