CALLS 1T A GRAND STAND PLAY

Does Machsn, but Bristow says the Evil
dence 10 "Ample."
Assistant District Attorney Taggart,
howeve ~ was not ready to proceed with
the case, and the hearing was set for
June 5. Machen gave a $4,000 bond
supplied by Philadelphia bonding
company for his appearance. declining
to accept the profrer of friends to go
on his bond. After his release he de-
clined to make any statement beyond
the single declaration that the whole
thing was q grand stand play and he
would come out all right.
Bristow, however, differs with
Machen In a statement issued by
the fourth assistant postmaster general,
he says: "a. w. Machen, general SUI
perintendent free delivery service, was
arrested at 1 o'clock today. He is
charged with receiving brides, amount
ing in all to about $4,000, in connec-
ton with a contract held by Croft
Bros, Of Washington, ID. c., for a
patent fastener used on street letter
boxes, known as the Croft fastener.
The postofice department in the last
ten years has used about $4,000
worth of these fasteners, and it Is
shown by ample evidence that for the
last three years at least Mr.. Machen
has been. receiving 40 per cent. OF the
amounts paid to the Groffs. The trans
action Of the business was conducted
by Diller B. Croft. who controls the
patent of his brother, Samuel NJ, a

Which brings us to Diller B. Croft,

NEW ISSUE FOR JOHN BULL
Chamberlain and Bslfour Set the Editors
to Studying the Possibilities OF
Tariff Debate.

London, May 29.-All the morning
papers published editorials comment
ing ON the Importance and far-reach-
ing consequence of the debate in the
commons on protection. The Liberal
papers say that while Premier Bal
four professed to regard the subject
as only one for discussion. and with
cut immediate import, Chamberlain
treated the subject as a burning
question OF moment.
The Conservative organ, The Stand
ard. says that the speeches of the two
ministers were evidently prepared in
concert, and other government organs
recognize the same thing. Little at
tention is paid at the present stage to
the intrinsic merits of Chamberlain's
policy. Attention is rather directed
to the possibilities of such political
revolution, which is calculated to eff
feet new cleavage of parties at home
with unforseeable developments

POINTS FROM THE REPORT
Two with Reference to Election That Are
of Most Interest.

The two points In the revision OF
most interest to the general reader are
those referring to mans election and
what has been called Infant damna-
ton" OF the first the revision SAYS:
''rhat God desires not the death of
any sinner, but has provided in Christ
a salvation sufficient for all, adapted
for all, and freely offered in the gospel
TO all; that men are fully responsible
for their treatment of Gods gracious
offer; that His decree hinders no man
from accepting that offer, and that no
man is condemned except on the
ground of his SIM"
OF the infant damnation" clause:
"Also that it is not to be regarded as
teaching that any who die in infancy
are lost. We believe that all dying In
infancy are included in the election of
grace"
After the reading and adoption of
all the overtures Chairman Van Dyke
said he wished to make it clear, and
specially did he wish to say ito the
brethren of the press that this revision
does not mean that the Presbyterian
church has changed her base one inch,
but 1t does mean that she had broad
ened and strengthened her founda-
tions." Then twenty minutes were
spent in song and prayer.
The colored question was referred
to a committee of seven, the colored
element of the church to be represent
ed, and it was required to report to
the next general assembly. The re-
port of the special committee on di-
vcrce and remdrriage was unanimous
ly adopted and was a strong presenta-
ton of the case against the remarriage
of divorced persons. The report had
been forestalled by the passage last
Monday of resolution enjoining
Presbyterian ministers from perform
ing the marriage ceremony in cs
Of divorced persons.

TRANSFERS BOUND TO STRIKE
One Thousand Out of 5000 Quit Work,
but Are Ordered Back.

but Are Ordered Back.
st. Louis, May 29.-The teamsters
of the national and the international
unions who at a special meeting de-
cided to strike in sympathy with the
freight handlers, despite the counsels
and protests of their officials, have
gone out. The strike. however. was
not as unanimous as was anticipated.
There are 5000 teamsters in st. Louis,
but less than 1000 obeyed the strike
order.
During the afternoon ]. B. Fitzpat-
rick. organizer of the National Team
sters' union, arrived from Denver and
at once took steps to check the strike.
Fitzpatrick issued an order directing
all striking members of the union TO
return to work by tomorrow undo pen
atty of expulsion from the union. He
declared the strike was Unauthorized
and was without official sanction.
This order had the effect of causing
many strikers to resume work imme-
diately. But before Fitzpatrick's ar
rival the situation was not so serious
as to more than Inconvenience the
wholesale houses and railroads in han
ding freight.
About ]. 200 railroad freight handlers
in East ST. Louis had gone out, and
upon learning of the transfers strike
about 100 more walked out The
strikes delayed freight handling on
both side of the river, but non-union
men were employed and the railroads
aud wholesale houses reported that
they were handling freight with COM
paratively little delay before the day
was half gone.
Organizer Fitzpatrick stated that he
would make every effort to accom-
plish a speedy settlement of the pres
ent difficulties. The teamsters have
made no demands, but went out to en-
force the demands for increased wages
made by the freight handlers
The settlement of the metal work
ers' strike, which some days ago put
4,0c0 men out of work has been finally
effected, after long negotiations. The
men will receive an increase Of ~
per cent.
The executive council of the tent
sters met and ordered the strikers sci
to work, but the most of the strikes
declare they will disregard the order
