DR.. r. r. Booth Blocks Resolution
Tmdorsing General Assem-

At the last monthly meeting of the year yes
terday of the New-York Presbytery opposition
to the Brief Statement of Reformed Faith
cropped out when the Rev. DR.. Browns resolu-
ton seeking to have the Presbytery approve
and welcome its use' was put
The Rev DR.. Robert Russell Booth bitterly
opposed the passage of the resolution. He said
that it was unnecessary and inexpedient for the
Presbytery to take such action, and that the
General Assembly did not intend that 1t should
give its Endorsement to the statement He fur
ther asserted that the latter left out of sight
entirely infant baptism the foundation Of house

was instituted by divine authority. while the
Church taught that It instituted by the
Lord Jesus Christ. DR.. Booth said that he was
opposed to hasty action on the resolution. and
believed that some OF the features of the state
1nent would call for long discussion and pos
sIblv serious disagreement among the members
OF the Presbytery. He said he knew OF ten
reasons why the brief statement" which has
only been placed IN experimental use by the
General Assembly should not receive the in
6orsen7ent OF the New-York Presbytery. He
offered an amendment thus stating
Dr. Brown said that Dr.. Booths declarations
were really an arraignment OF the General AS

seemed 10 him that the Presbytery, following
the hint Of the General Assembly. should au-
thorize It's use He, however. was satisfied when

Booths substitute should be the first order of
business at the meeting TO be held in February.

The State Society of Labor and Industry
at its session in Topeka yesterday
adopted a resolution condemning Presi-
dent Roosevelt for issuing an order the
effect of which is to prevent government
employees lobbying for the passage of
measures by congress to increase their
wages. The resolutions read

In addition the society took rap ct
Captain John Seaton Of Atchison, who
was instrumental. during the last session
Of the legislature in defeating the "long

luton which was adopted unanimously:
Resolved. That the conduct and att.
tude of Hon. John Seaton towards this
society and towards workingmen be con-
demned by this society"
If there is anything that the society
neglects to pass resolutions about, it will
not be the fault of several indefatgable
members who spent most of their time
yesterday getting up manifestos In all
forty resolutions were considered yester-
DAY and nearly all of them adopted. and
the committee on resolutions has in its
hands about an equal number which will
be presented TO the society for its ap-

WALTER CARTER STABBED
John DooIin Alleged to Have Used the
Weapon.

Walter Carter was stabbed by John
Doolin yesterday morning about o'clock
near the corner Of Main and Second
streets. The cuts are three in number
one on the throat, about three inches
long, and not very deep; another on the
chin. about two inches long, and cut to
the bone, and one on the left side. about
FIVE inches long and a quarter OF an inch
in depth. The cutting was done with a
razor and it is alleged that the fight oc-
Cured because Walter Carter was court
ing Doolins sweetheart. The wounds
are not very serious The man after
being slashed ran to his home at 252
North Wichita street and a doctor was
called and the wounds were sewn up.
He was removed 20 the Wichita hospital
about noon, where his wounds were again
dressed.
Carter came here about three months
ago from Carlton. Mo. and has been
working at almost anything he could
find to do. He was always well dressed
and has been up in police court several
times for petty offences. His name is
on the police blacklist. He claims that
he was not armed when he was attacked
by Doolin and instead Of trying to pro-
tect himself he says he tried TO run away.
John Doolin was arrested by the police
about 8 O'Clock and a state warrant was
sworn out in the city court FOR him
