Des Moines, May 29.-By vote of
80 to 63 the general assembly of the
United Presbyterian church adopted
the report of the judiciary committee
upon the change of creed with regard

When the general assembly, convened
for the day it Immediately plunged
into a discussion of the report of the
judiciary committee as to the change
in creed with regard to ad-
mitting members of secret orders into
the church. Rev. R. G. Campbell OF
College Spring, Ia, moved to amend
the report by striking out the follow.

ties:
"This action is not to be construed
as to exclude from the church the
membership of large number of So
cieties which are not bound by oath or
affirmation or do not pledge to secrecy
in things unknown or .Aculcate a
Christian religion"
DR.. J. A. Grier, chairman of the
committee on judiciary, protested
against the change for the reason that
there has been a constant call for a
definition. ... ....
"The article" said the doctor, "does
not put such societies as the G. A. r.
under the ban and on the other hand
we are not endorsing them"
DR.. J. H. McClerken of Philadelphia
favored the judiciary report because
1t Disseminated between the good and
bad secret societies.
In closing up the debate on the sub
iect DR.. Grier said:
81 am ashamed of the United Pres
byterian church in It's shutting IN the
matter. In the report we say we shall
not take pagans into the church, even
lif they are called Masons. We say la.
boring men. Grand Army men and
such have rights in the church"
seWhat will be the effect Of this re-
port asked DR.. Mcconnell, ION those
who are already Masons and in the
church,"
"That is most difficult thing to
handle" said DR.. Grier, "but when

Killed by Tramps.

Carrollton, Mo-, May 29.-Charles
Mckinney, son of a policeman, was
killed while assisting his father in ar

fight in which many shots were ex-
changed and the sheriff's horse was

Washington, May 29.-The treasury

in these decisions is conclusive upon

tionAspecifie Decision Regarding
the Philippines Desired.
New York, May 29.-Secretary Root
Is quoted in a Washington dispatch to
The Tribune as saying of the supreme
courts decision in the insular cases:
"Unquestionably the decision of the
court sustains the contentious, theo-
ries and the policy adopted by the ad-
ministration in conducting the affairs
Of the Spanish islands since the rati.
fication of the Paris treaty. The up
holding Of the Foraker act signifies
that congress has the power to legis-
late without being limited by the pro-
visional contingencies Of the consti.
tuition. For instance, the constitution
al provision setting forth that uniform
duties must be collected does not ap-
ply to the islands. The general result
of the decision is certainly very graf.
flying.
"Of course there will be some little
embarrassment caused by the holding
that no duties can be collected except
by congressional legislation, but it will
be only temporary embarrassment d

London Papers Discuss Decision.

London, May 29.-The London news
papers have paid scant attention to
the decision of the United States su-
preme court in the insular cases. The
few comments made deal principally
with the confusing nature of the
judgment" It is, however, agreed that
the practical result is obvious-that
it leaves congress free to deal with
the annexed territories as 1t pleases.

MACHlNlSTS ON THE SOUTHERN
RAILROAD DEMAND A
NINE.HOUR DAY.
POLL OF employees TAKEN
Ninety-seven Per Cent Of the Men In
terested Vote In Favor Of Going Out
to Enforce the Concession Asked.
Similar Action Not improbable by
the Machinists Employed by Other
Roads Throughout the Country.

Washington, May 29.-Ninety-seven
per cent of the machinists in the en-
ploy Of the Southern railway have
voted to strike for the 9-hour day and
are now only awaiting the order of
President James O'Connel of the In
ternational Association of Machinists
before going out. This was the an
nouncement made by the spokesman
of a delegation of machinists, repre-
senting the shops of the system. which
called on Vice President and General
Manager Cannon. It appears that the
members Of the delegation We're not
pleased with the results Of their con-
ference with Mr.. Cannon and at its
conclusion wired every shop, ordering
a poll to be taken on the proposition of
a strike. A telegram to "poll the
shop" which was sent to Charleston.
S. c., by mistake was transmitted
pull the shop" The entire shop
ceased work at once.
Vice President Cannon has been ad-
vised of the action Of the men at
Charleston. He says that strike on
the Southern will affect 800 machin-
lists. At present he does not regard
the situation as serious.
The action of the machinists on the
Southern road Is the first organized
attempt to enforce a 9-hour day by
railway shop employees and similar &C
tion by the men on other roads is not
improbable.

NO THREATS OF ANY KIND.
Santa Fe Shop Men Resent Certain
lntimations.

In connection with the recent adj
vances Of pay to the Santa Fe ma
chinists the men appear to generally
resent any intimations that there
were any threats of a strike or that
they made any demands of the com
pany for the removal Of any foreman.
Mr. Geo. w. Cooper, a member OF
the machinists' grievance committee,
is very emphatic along these lines.
He says that certain impressions
which were created were very unjust
to the men, and furthermore that the
statements made in some quarters
were wholly untrue.
Mr. Cooper says I've went TO the
company like man and tried to get
what we thought was just We made
no threats of a strike and had 10 IN.
tention whatever of striking. Mr.
Player met with us. we presented our
grievances. and he took hold of them
and adjusted them to our satisfaction.
Everything was done pleasantly and in
a businesslike and straightforward
manner"

question Of transmitting messages by

From the examination of the sub.

lowing recommendations
"1 That the use Of homing pigeons

90 That pending such action no

"3 That wireless teleuaphy be

Referring to the last reccmmen-
dauon. the board is of the opinion that
q high degree of special electrical
tr ,g is demanded for the success
ful srato. OF any system Of wireless
telecrap.s. and il therefore suggests
as necessary the establishment Of two
stations, sufficiently far removed from
each other. for the training of officers
and men, In its opinion this require
ment would be best met by the estab-
llshment of such stations at the navy
