DESIGNATION OF SABBATH.
Report of the Committee on the Sabbath to the
Southern Assembly.
(By the Associated Press.)


Little Rock, Ark, May 2O.-Considera-
| ton of the separate reports of the ad in
term committee on revision of the church
law as to ecclesiastical commissions be-
gan in the Southern Presbyterian Cen
eral Assembly today and caused four
hours discussion. The report signed by
Hon. Joseph w. Martin, LII D., of Little
Rock, Chief Justice H. G. Bum, of the
Arkansas Supreme Court, makes a clear
distinction between commission and a
committee. A commission, according to
this report, always must have as many
| members for a quorum as was need to
make a quorum of the body which appoints
IT,
In the separate report submitted by DR..
r. G Reed, of Columbia, S. c., j. F. Can
non and G. w. Finley, the number to
make a quorum is not specified except in
the ordination of ministers which always
requires a quorum of the Presbytery.
Judge Martins report requires additional
amendments to the book of church order.
DR.. Reeds requires no other amendments.
After being amended SO as to make a
Ct mmission a body Of presbyters in lieu
of a body of church officers. the Martin
report was adopted. The report of the
BJ1rd of Directors of the Louisville Pres
tyterian Theological Seminary was read,
together with q copy Of the agreement
for consolidation of the theological semin-
aries at Danville and Louisville, KY Both
were referred.
The Assembly voted to send DIR >.
H. Chester, Secretary OF Foreign Mis-
- a4 fn cxypr mil a
Presbyterian work there.
The report of the Permanent Commit
tee on the Sabbath was ore of the most
interesting papers of the day. 1t say
among other things:
LAS long as the nation continues 20
set aside the divine law in the carrying
and delivery of mail, thus requiring
it's army of employees to work on the
Lords Day, as long as it continues by
it's own example to disregard the au-
thority of the Lord in continuing it's
business on His day as the last Con-
gress has done-as long as the different
States allow the running of both freight
and passenger cars, as long as secular
newspapers are allowed to pursue thei1
avocation, as one other days publishing
and selling their papers for gain, it
must be difficult. if not impossible to
influence the masses to maintain de-
cent respect for the Lords aDy.'
The report mentions that the Presby
terry Of Norfolk reports it's discontin-
uance on Sunday newspapers by some
members as the result of faithful
preaching on that subject, the Preshy-
terry of West Lexington reports the
closing of saloons in the city of Lex
ington upon the Lords Day, and the
Presbytery of Atlanta reports the sue
cessful resisting of opening on Sunday
concerts in the city of Atlanta Final
action on the report was deferred.

RECEIVER FOR THE
COMPANY APPOINTED
lon Application of William Wallace,
Judge FaWCett Names William
K. Potter and Fixes His Bond
at S10O,0OO-Bank Connected
With Company in Good Shape

Omaha, Neb., Dec. lion appllca-
ton of william Wallace, Judge Faw-
cett, in the District Court late this
afternoon appointed William X. Pot
ter receiver for the Omaha Loan &
Trust Co., and fixed his bond at 500,
900. Edgar H,-Scott was named as at
torney for the receiver. AS soon as the
appointment was made, the receiver
qualified on the bond and took pos
session. The application was made by
Mr.. Wallace as a director in the
company and as prOponent gave a
bond Of 100000 with Guy c. Barton
and c. II. Brown as sureties.
No official statement was filed with
the application for a receiver but Mr..
Wallace's attorneys are authority for
the statement that fhe company has
outstanding debenture bonds Of $3.50,
900; it is a guarantee for about $500,
000 The assets are still somewhat in
definite. The larger part of them is
represented by 81, 100000 of real estate
taken on foreclosure, which is the book
value of the property. About 100000
Of this amount is covered by what are
known as Straw Mortgages" which
are included Ia the list of guaranteed
loans. IneSe straw mortgages 40
not represent anything of an irregular
character. but are mortgages used by
large trust companies to avoid carrying
d large amount of dead property that
ties up the working capital
This leaves about 100000 Of real es-
tate in book value. to cover the de-
benture bonds and any actual liability
which exists on the guaranteed loans.
1t is not believed by any Of the di-
rectOrs that the stockholders will real
ize anything out Of the capital stock.
One Of the directors said today that
the stock had been offered within the
past two months at from. one to five
cents on the dollar.
The greater part Of $4,000, 900 Of guar
anteed loans is also protected by real
ty mortgages. The loans were made on
Missouri and Nebraska farms and on
Omaha realty. The Missouri loans are
said to be fair. those on Nebraska
lands Of high grade, and those on Oma-
ha property are also considered worth
about par.
Several years ago about 900 of
mortgages were placed on Omaha SUI
burban property which has not proved
all that was expected of it, and this
load the company has been carrying.
The failure to realize on them is given
as the real cause Of the present finan-
cial distress Of the company.
The savings bank. which was taken
over by new corporation, is said to
be in good condition. being in no way
connected with the Trust Company.
