Chicago, Feb. 2.-Because of inability
of eastern roads to handle all the traffic
offered them, western roads have issued
blockade notices that affect several ne

flour, which the northwestern roads will

COMPROMISE rs REACHED.
Tabernacle Church Retains Member
ship in Association.

Conyers, Ca, July 30.-(SpcclaL )-Ine
action of the Stone Mountain Baptist AS
ISOLATION this morning was practically d
victory for Dr. l.. c.. Broughton ana me
Atlanta Baptist Tabernacle chuFch on
the question of "alien immersion
Dr. Broughton himself was not present
having departed for Boston.
By the terms OF the resolution adopted
at this mornings session the Tabernacle
church is permitted to remain a member
of the association, alien immersion or no,
but the resolution denounces all baptism
save that administered by regular Bap-
fist preachers. and provides further that
any church accepting persons baptized by
aliens shall be subjected to certain re-
strctions in the fellowship enjoyed with
sister congrega tons within the associa-
tons pale.
The resolution Is d compromise Of the
controversy which has agitated the stone
Mountain association for over a year. IL
puts the seal of disapproVal on the prac-
tice of accepting persons Immersed py
aliens into Baptist churches, but in no
sense sewers the connection of the Iaper-
nacle church with the association, as the
more radical opponents of alien immersion
sought to do.
The Stone Mountain Baptist Association
Is an OISdnlZdLlOIi COlIlpOSSh "a dHOHS so
ty churches in and around Atlanta ana
is more than 80 years old. Each church in
the association sends messengers" the
number of these fixed according TO the
number of members in the church. to the
annual convention of the association. The
purpose of the organization and its con-
ventionS is to discuss questions pertaining
to missions
The controversy over the alien INNER
sion question arose when the Atlanta
Baptist Tabernacle church nearly two
years ago adopted resolution in which
It was set forth that the church would
accept into fellowship any person i'm
mersed by minister OF any denomination
whatsoever-Met ohdist, Christian church
or any other
At last years convention this was taken
I'D and resolution adopted calling upon
the Tabernacle church to give an account
of itself for its action in regard to alien
immersion. The Tabernacle church made
no reply, hence the attempt to GUST it
from membership in the association.

with Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen.
eral Bristow. Mr.. Livingston is opposed to
the policy which Mr. Broistow has adopt
ed whereby he proposes to limit the in
stitution Of free delivery routes to routes
which will supply mail to at least one
hundred families. He is also opposed to
the proposition to apportion the available
funds among the several states, as is
proposed by Mr.. Bristow.
Mr.. Livingston contends that both of
these propositions would operate against
the southern states. He says 1t was the
intention of congress to have the rural
free delivery routes established in the
localities where they would do the most
good. The service was not intended for
the thickly settled sections of the COuI-
try where there is sufficient postal bust
ness to justify the establishment of post
offices easily accessible to all the people.
Mr.. Livingston says that congress in
tended that the rural free delivery routes
should be so established as to supply the
isolated people of the country with mail
service Mr.. Bristow's idea seems to be
that these routes should only be estab
lished i'll localities where the business Is
sufficient to enable them to pay for them
selves Mr.. Livingston thinks that this
is q perversion OF the intention of con-
gresS, and he says that congress never
intended that the service should be self
supporting. He says that the next session
of congress will take this matter UP and
Will make it so clear that the service is
designed especially for the benefit Of per-
sons who would otherwise be without
mail facilities that it will be impossible
for the postoffice department to cOnstrue
the law otherwise.
Mr.. Livingston is now insisting that
even If no more new routes are inspected
this year the service shall at least be es-
tablished on those that have been In
spected and favorably reported upon.
The Mel Cross Cases.
Mr.. Livingston also visited the war de-
partment today in the interest Of Nell
Cross, a young man from Georgia who
was recently sentenced to imprisonment
by courtmartial at Fort Mcpherson as
a deserter from the regular army. Cross
comes of good family in Georgia and
served with credit in Cuba and in the
Philippines. When his regiment returned
from the Philippines he deserted at San
Francisco, but subsequently gave himself
up. The evidence shows that Cross was
iniuriously affected by the climate in the
Philippines and that his mind was so af-
fected that he was not responsible Tor his
actions when he deserted. Mr. Living
ston hopes that when all of these facts
are taken into consideration the president
will grant him a pardon.

GEORGIA REPUBLICANS
ARE URGING JOHNSON
THEY WANT HIM NAMED FOR
VICE PRESIDENT.
Movement To Put Georgian on Ticket
with Roosevelt Is Not Con-
fined to Georgia.

While the republican political pot keeps
time in merry tune to the speculations
OF the politicians and bubbles and boils
even during the sizzling heated term in
the west, east and elsewhere, it IS also
on the merry bubble right here in Geor-
gia, ana the sound OF the boiling is to be
heard In Atlanta.
Not a little talk was set going Tues
day when it was made known in re-
publican political circles in Atlanta that
a strong and decided movement was on
foot among the republicans of Georgia
and the south to name the running
mate of President Roosevelt al the next
convention in the person of Hon. Walter
H. Johnson, the present United states
marshal for the northern district of
Georgia.
1T is altogether probable" said one
well-known republican. that the south
and not the west will produce the vice
presidential candidate of the republican
party in the next race. 1t is also very
likely. in fact altogether probable, that
Georgia will be the southern state to fur
nish the man, If the south is to get the
nomination.
THE man to whom 1 refer" continued
the speaker, lis Hon. Walter IL. john
SON
1t was learned that this is not mere
talk and speculation among a few, but
that the movement to push the matter
to a successful finish is taking definite
form throughout the south. Considerable
correspondence is being carried on be-
tween various members of the party not
only in this state, but in other states
Of this section, and it is understood that
Colonel Johnson has a number of strong
supporters.
The South's Claim.
The south has not put forward a can
didate for this office since the convention
Of 1896, when II. Clay Evans, Of Tennes-
see. the present United States consul
general to London. was urged before the
convention as the running mate of Nc
kinney, and only missed the nomination
by about three votes.
Colonel Johnson is one of the strong
est members of the party in the south.
having for a number Of years been prom
inenty connected With republican politics
in Georgia. He is held in heh esteem
not only by members of his own party,
but by members of other political follow
ings in this state.
When seen in regard to the matter
Tuesday Colonel Johnson laughed hear
lilly and remarked only that some of his
strong friends were simply allowing their
regard for him to slightly warp their
judgment.
