While Driving Auto Through Cloud Of
 Dust Runs Against Stones.

Rome, May 2s.-United States Ambassa- dor Meyer was slightly hurt today through an accident to his automobile.

ARBITRATION CONFERENCE.
pr. Abbott Claims 1t Is Not Solvent of
 All Difficulties.

Lake Mohonk, N. Y May 28.-Today's session of the conference on International arbitration was opened with an address by pr. Lyman Abbott of New York, who acclaimed that arbitration was not the solvent of all difficulties. The right of the free man to labor was one of the things that could not be arbitrated, he asserted, and the Monroe doctrine was another.
 Dr. Joseph Strong, president of the American Institute of Social Science, spoke on the tendencies that make for solidarity among men and nations.
 Uchida, consul general for Japan at New York, said international disputes could be settled by one of three means diplomacy, arbitration or war. Although arbitration was highly preferable to war. he said. it would be impossible to dis pense with war unless all nations agreed to make arbitration the only and last means of settling international difficult ties in case diplomacy failed.
 William T. Penfeld, counsel for the United States in the trial of the Plus cases at The Hague, also spoke.
 The Rev. Dr. Arthur J. Brown, secre- tary of the Presbyterian board of foreign missions. said that if arbitration was to prevail it must not be an artificial con- vention. but must rest on the solid foun- dation of justice, fairness and mutual recognition of the rights of man.
 Mrs. May Wright Sewall, president of the International Council of Women, spoke on the relation of that society to the court of arbitration.

PREMIER COMBES
 DEFENDS HIS SON
SEVERAL ARTICLES IN 4 NEWS PAPER ACCUSING YOUNG CoM3ES WITH ACCEPTING A BRIBE STIR UP A ROW,

Paris. May 2S.-In the chamber of deputies today, Premier Combes had an angry altercation with M. Flandin (re- publican) on the subject of certain charges brought by the latter against M. Combe's son. These charges came up again later in the form of an interpel- lation by M. Rabier. radical socialist, who read several articles from news papers in which Edgar Combes was ac- cused of accepting a bribe in order to ob- tain a gambling license for the Cerclo Rationale. The premier. replied that he supposed this campaign was directed against himself.
 It had been insinuated, continued M. combes, that Edgar Combes. who was secretary at the ministry, was compromis- ed in the matter through gambling debts, but he defied the men who had made the charges to produce any proof.
 The house by vote of 338 to IS adopted A resolution censuring "the campaign of calumny, which was directed against the members of the government, with the ob ject of turning them from the task of the defense of the republic"
 The chamber then adjourned.

UNANIMOUS VOTE
 ADOPTS REPORT
Committee Was Appointed on
 Question of Unity
MANY OVERTURES READ
Presbyterian General Assembly Cor tinues to Labor Hard-ls Dlspers- ing Many Mooted Theories as
 to Creed and Church Law.

Los Angeles, May 2S.-In the Presby- terian general assembly today a motion made by pr. W. N. Page for the adop- tion of the report of the revision com mittee as a whole prevailed by a unani- nous vote. The moderator later was au- thorized to appoint a committee to confer with the Cumberland Presbyterian com mittee on the question of uniting the two churches.
 The Rev. Dr. Van Dyke. chairman of the committee on bills and overtures to which the revision question was substi- tuted, made report on two papers, pre- liminary in nature, as follows:
 A protest from nine members of the Le- high presbytery against counting the vote of that presbytery in favor of re- vision, was heard. The committee recom- mended that this protest be thrown out, and 1t was so ordered Second, an over- ture from the St. Cloud presbytery ask ing that the question of revision be re- committed to new committed, It was recommended that this be also thrown out and 1t was so ordered.
 Chairman Van Dyke then read the re- port as heretofore given by the stated clerk detailing the vote on the eleven overtures on revision. These overtures were passed on seriatim and adopted. One negative vote was heard against over lures Nos. 5, and T.
 The following declaratory statement, which preceded the reading of the text of the overtures, was adopted
 While the ordination vow of ministers, ruling elders and deacons as set forth in the form of government requires the reception or adoption of the confess sion of faith only as containing the sys- tenn of doctrine taught in the holy scrip lures; nevertheless, seeing that the de- sire has been formally expressed for a disavowal by the church of certain refer ences drawn from statements in the con- fession of faith, and also from declara- tion of certain aspects of revealed truth, which appear at the present time to call for more explicit statement, therefore the Presbyterian church in the United States of America does authoritatively declare as follows
 Then follows the text of charges In the confession. After the reading and adoption of all the overtures, Chairman Van-Dyke said he wished to make it clear and especially did he wish to say Ito the brethren of the press that this revision does not mean that the Presbyte- rian church has changed her base one inch but it does mean that she has broadened and strengthened her foundation. Her divine sovereignty shall never be inter preted so as to mean fatalism."
 The discussion was continued by Dr. H. C.. Minton, Dr. c. A, Dickey, Dr. J. W. Peach and others. After brief speeches by Rev William Henry Roberts and Moderator Coyle a motion was made by Dr. w. N. Page for the adoption of the report of the revision committee as a whole. The motion prevailed by unani- nous vote. Then Moderator Coyle offered a prayer of thankfulness that this mornings work had marked the consum- nation of fifteen years of earnest effort In the Presbyterian church."
