MORE COUNTERFEIT MONEY.
Raised Bills Again Put in Circulation.
An Alleged C~ounterfeiter Arrested.
Searching For His COnfeGerates.
Especial to The Messenger.)

Greensboro, ". c., May 20.-An-
other crop of n dollar bills raised
to ten was planted here Wednesday
and last night. This makes the third
period in the past three months that
some counterfeit mas been turned
loose here. The police this evening
arrested F. j. Hage, Jr., of Durham,
n. c., who came here selling medi-
cines. At his trial Hage was positive
ly-identified by two witnesses as the
one who passed bogus bills on them.
Hage bitterly denied any transactions
whatever with the witnesses. Failing
to give a five hundred dollar bond for
his appearance at court, he was placed
in Jail. The police think he is one Of
four, operating together and having
headquarters at Kinston and Colds
boro, n. c.
Two suspects left on the train for
Danville, Va, and have probably been
arrested from information gained since
Hage was arrested. Another of the
supposed confederates is being looked
fer in this city. The arrest may
prove important. Government secret
service detectives ave been ineffect-
ually trying to run down the utterers
of this dangerous counterfeit for sew
eral months. These raised bills have
been Systematically circulated in many
parts of Virginia and North Caro-
lima.

Goldsboro, y. c.. May 2e.-Mr. valley

OPPOSITION TO UNION.
First Brush Between the Forces I'm the
General Assembly OF the Cumber-
land Presbyterian Church.

Dallas, Texas, May 20.AIt became
easily evident at to-day's session of
the general assembly Of the Cumber-
land Presbyterian church here that
the plan to unite that body with the
Presbyterian church of the United
States of America Will meet with con-
siderable opposition. The first brush
between the union and n~on-union
forces of the assembly came this
morning, at the close of the report
on that matter by the committee on
fraternity and union. Since the print
ing of the original report, "a supple
mental report has been prepared stat
ing the reasons why the committee on
fraternity and union favored the union
of the churches. DIR. w. H. Black, pres
ident of Missouri Valley College, Mar
shall, Mo, chairman of the committee
from the Cumberland church, had not
proceeded far when he was interrupted
by a vigorous protest filed by the anti
~unionists, who declared the contents
OF n supplementary report unknown
to them, and they limited that it would
be used as an argument against their
side of the question. For a time, the
assembly, heretofore dignified, took on
n color of a political meeting, where
partisans are in strong opposition. A
number of objections were filed by the
a~nti-unionists to the hearing of the
iCpOIl, lhc ldllcT SleIilcHl DclUS Hld1-
aged by Judge J.. H. Russell, of Co.
lumbia, Tenn. It was finally ruled,
however, by Judge Settle, the modera-
tor, that the supplementary report be
heard, and it was read. Briefly this
report simply refers to the main re-
port in an analytical manner, show
ing historically the movement for the
union of the church, declaring that
the conditions tending in other lines
toward Pnnhinatinn chnr11d opn1u 40
religious bodies, and placing particular
stress Gpo the claim that PreSby-
terianism and Professionalism are on
trial before the world. The supple
mentary report, as we'll as the main
report, were received and spread upon
the minutes. 1t was agreed that the
discussion of the union proposition
be taken up at 10 o'clock Tuesday
morning.
The remainder of the day was al
most entirely devoted to routine re-
ports.
