Trouble Caused by n Motion Depos.
ing DIR. G:ckey.

PHILADELPHIA, May 2S--For two
hours today a storm cloud hung over the
Presbyterian Assembly The trouble
started soon after the delegates had been
called to order
DIT. AIoffat moved to reconsider the vote
of the Assembly yesterday which consti-
tutes the new commit ee upon revision
and. this being rushed Trough, he moved
the appointment Of th9 same men, with
the exception that DIT. Minton. the Mod
orator, was mentione[ as chairman in
stead Of Dr. Dickey, e'iPo had acted as
chairman during the last year. Many of
the leading revisionists had not yet en-
tered the church and the new makeup of
the committee was ordered
When DT. Dickey came in and found
that he had been deposed from the chair
manship in favor Of DR. MintOu, who had
avcwed himself a conservative, he was ex-
-ceedinsly angry. It was quickly rumored
that Dr. Dickey regarded the AssembIy's
action as an Insult, and would resign.
His friends rallied about him and Dr.
johnson announced that he would move
for d second reconsideration The question
promised to create disturbance more
bitter, because OF its personal nature,
than the question Of revision itself.
Scores of prominent churchmen pleaded
with Dr. Dickey for harmony Dr. Min
/ tor was summoned from the chair and he
and DR. Dickey, with about ten leaders.
were cioseted during the entire morning
session. Shortly after noon Dr. NicoIls-
one Of Dr. Dickey's friends, asked the as
sembly to reconsider the motion making
DR.. Minton chairman and allow the Re
vision Committee to select its own head
He said.
I know that this is a new. committee.
/ There Is. however, a matter of precedent
/ that has been overlooked. In appointing
. Dr. Minton chairman, the assembly has
/ made severe reflection upon the chair
man Of the preceding committee as it
was a constitutional body
Dr. Mofatt remarked that a motion to
reconsider is not debStable, but Dr Her
rick johnson sprang to his feet and de-
clared that, whether it was debatabIe IT
not. he was going TO he heard. and he
made an fmpEssfoned plea for harmony

petition and involving the smallest pos

mite postponement Of the public discus

been able 10 study its various provis-
ions This was not granted as the Fill
pinos have been debating civil matters

tors who have raised the row over the
appointment of some American judges,
by declaring that the Commission was
following the instructions Of President
