the mistake Of thinking large ad

SENATORS REACH. AGREEMENT
Decide to Suspend All Business Eek
cept Cuban Reciprocity Bill.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The major
part Of the time of to-day's executive
session Of the Senate was devoted to
discussion Of the scope and charac-
ter of the agreement with reference to
the time of taking a vote on the Cuban
reciprocity bill. 1t developed during
the discussion that the Democrats had
understood Senator Aldrich to say the
Cuban bill was to be the only matter
considered Senator Teller stated that
an agreement had been made with
Senator Aldrich and that the Demo-
Gratis considered 1t binding.
When it was made known Senator
Aldrich had entered into an agreement
the Republicans made no further OBJ
lection to the suspension of all busi-
ness except the merest routine matters,
but Senator Elkins observed that he
thought less misunderstanding would
arise if the Republican leaders. would
make known their arrangements in the
event they left the city or could not be
present to explain them on the floor
of the Senate.
Several Democrats, in explanation Of
their opposition to taking up business
other than that agreed on, said that
many Senator'S had left Washington,
and that it would not be fair to them
to transact during their absence mat

GENERAL WOODS
STATUS IN DOUBT
Effect of Senate's Ad-
journment Without.
Action.
Consensus Of Opinion is That
He Must Again Be
Nom mated.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-Some dis
cussion has been indulged in by
Senators concerning the effect of an
adjournment without action on
the nomination of General Leon
ard Wood to be major general
and other nominations depending
upon his confirmation, and widely diff
fering views have been expressed. Ac-
cording TO the standing rules Of the
Senate it will be necessary. in the event
these nominations are not confirmed at
the present session, for the President to
send them again to the Senate. The
rule follows:
Nominations neither confirmed nor
rejected during the session at which
they are made shall not be acted upon
at any succeeding session without being
made again to the Senate by the Presi-
dent, and if the Senate shall adjourn or
take a recess of more than thirty days
all nominations pending and not finally
acted upon at the time Of taking such
adjournment or recess shall be returned
By the Secretary to the President and
will not be again considered unless they
shall again be made to the Senate by
the President.
Some question has arisen as to the
effect If no adjournment occurs, but the
impression is that the pending nomina-
tions will have to be made anew.

COOKE
FILES CHARGES
Accuses q Professor Of
Boston University 4
of Heresy.
Borden D. Bovine is Sum-
moled for Trial Before
Ecclesiastical Court.

BOSTON, Dec. Papers have been
served upon Professor Borden d.
Bovine of Boston University. calling
him to trial before the ecclesiastical
court of the Methodist Episcopal church
to answer the charge Of heresy.
Rev. George w. Cooke, pastor Of
Trinity. Methodist Church. West Med.
ford, and a member Of the New Eng
land Conference, is the formal accuser
of Professor BOVINE. The specifications,
five in number, are based upon the gen.
eral allegation that the professor has
disseminated doctrines which are con-
trary to the articles of religion or es-
tablished standards of doctrines in the
Methodist Episcopal church"
Professor Bovine is widely known as
a writer on philosophy and his recent
statements concerning the Bible and
religious subjects have attracted much
attention. Rev. Mr. Cooke is the author
of a pamphlet, issued several months
ago and circulated throughout the
Methodist church, which criticizes Pro-
fessor Bowne's teachings.
The first specification against Pro-
fessor Bovine is that the philosophers
views concerning the Deity are con-
trary to the plain teachings of the
Scriptures; the second. that his views
of the inspiration and authority of the
Holy Scriptures are also contrary to
those Scriptures; third, that his notion
of the atonement is contrary, not only
to the Scriptures, but also to the ritual
Of the Lords supper in the discipline
of the church.
The fourth charge refers to his teach
ing of eschatology, which, 1t is declared.
is directly contrary to the Scriptures
and the Methodist standards Of faith
The last statement is that Professor
Bovine disseminates views Of Christian
experience contrary to the plain teach
ing Of the Holy Scriptures and contrary
to the established doctrines Of the
Methodist Episcopal church,
