REVISION IS ADOPTED
Explanations OF the Presbyterian
Cree Are Now the Law of
the O -ganization.
GENERAL ASSEMBLY NEAR A UNIT
For the Revision, and q Couple OF
Protests Thrown Out-Dec-
latory Statement.

Los Angeles, CAL, May 29-Tht
Presbyterian church of the United
States, In general assembly, has final
ly disposed Of the question of revision
of creed that has been before the last
three general assemblies, and which
has agitated Presbyterian circles for
the past fifteen years. The assem-
bly,, by unanimous vote, adopted the
revision of the confession of faith as
prepared by the committee appointed
by the general assembly in 1901. Be
side clearing the calendar of this i'm
portant question the assembly dis
posed of the Tennessee overture in
regard to separate presbyteries in the
same territory" which was common
ly known as the "colored question"
of the Presbyterian church, and the
report of the special committee on d.
vorce and remarriage. Several minor
reports also were heard during the day,
which on the whole has been the bust
est of the assembly's sessions.
Two Protests Thrown Out.
The fact that creed revision was 10
come up attracted the largest crowd
that has attended any meeting since
the opening. After disposing of some
business Of minor Importance Modera-
tor Coyle announced that Rev. Hen
ry Van Dyke, of Princeton, n. J.,
chairman of the committee on bills
and overtures, would submit the re-
port of the committee on revision. Be-
fore reading the report DR.. Van Dyke
stated that two protests, one from the
presbytery of Lehigh and the other
from the st. Cloud presbytery, tend
ing to obstruct action on the revision
question had been before the commit
tee, and it was recommended that the
assembly vote to throw them out. The
assembly so ordered.
Each Overture Is Adopted.
DR.. Van Dyke then proceeded with
the report of the revision committee.
He read the detailed vote on each one
of the eleven overtures, which showed
that no one overture had received
ASOic tAoh tcH utSdtiNo VOTES. Inc
overtures were voted upon seriatim,
and adopted. But one voice in the
negative was heard, and this only on
overtures five, six ard seven. A dec
laratory statement which precedes the
changes In the confession of faith was
read and adopted by the assembly as
follows:
Declaratory Statement.
while the ordination VOW of min
listers. ruling elders and deacons. as
set forth In the form of government.
requires the reception and adoption of
the confession of faith only as con-
tanning the system of doctrine taught
in the Holy Scriptures, nevertheless,
seeing that the desire has been for
mally expressed for a disavowal by
the church Of certain differences
drawn from statements in the con-
fession Of faith and also for a declara-
ton of certain aspects of revealed
truth which appear at the present time
70 call for more explicit statements,
therefore the Presbyterian church in
the United States Of America does au-
thoritatively declareas follows" Here
follows the text of the report.

GROWS IN SENSATIONS
This PostoffIce Investigation That
Is Going on at the Ma.
tional Capital.
AUGUSTUS W. MAoHEN ARRESTED
Charge Ii That He Had a Rake.OR
on Supplies Bought for the
Postal Service.

Washington, May 2S.-By far the
most sensational development of the
postoffice investigation up to this time
occurred when Augustus w. Gachen,
the general superintendent of the free
delivery service, was arrested on a
warrant issued upon the information
of postodice inspectors charging him
with having received .'rake-offs" from
contracts made with the local firm CT
Croft Bros. for a patent postal box
fastener. The warrant specifically
charges him with receiving S1S.9S1.7S
since Aug. s, 1900.
Only Represents Part of His Rake-OR
1t is alleged, however, at the de-
partment that this amount does not
represent all that Machen obtained
with his contracts it being charged
that he has protited by them for sew
eral years prior TO that date OF the
first contract mentioned in the war
mediately after Nachinewas taken into
custody the postmaster general issued
an order removing him from Office. He
had been practically under suspension
for fortnight, pending investigation
into his bureau. The discovery of
Machen's alleged interests in the con-
tracts was made quite accidentally by
the inspectors some three weeks ago.
and since then their energies had been
directed toward making out a case.
Demands Full Hearing.
When the authorities became con-
vinced that they were in possession
Of the necessary evidence Machen was
notified to appear at the department
He did so and was subjected to
sweating" process by the inspectors
and General Bristow for three hours,
but no admissions that he had profited
by the contracts could be secured from
him. He declined TO answer many
questions on the ground that they re-
lated to his private business, but in
sisted to the end that he had not re-
ceived a cent improperly. Neverthe-
less he was arrested on the warrant
which had been prepared and taken
before a United States commissioner,
where his attorney Immediately de-
manded a. full hearing.

employed at the hotel to carry dishes.
This lad had been employed only three
days when he concluded to seek new
fields. He left on the one o'clock train
yesterday afternoon, and with him went
