IOWA DEMOCRATS
SPLIT IN FACTIONS
Two State Central Committees
and Two State Conventions
to Be Called.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Des Moines Iowa, May 26-Iowa
democrats have split and now have
two state central committees COM
prised Of six members each. A. r.
Jackson of Tama is chairman Of one
Of the committees, and A. w. Max
we'll Of Seymour of the other.
Maxwell claims authority by virtue
of the action Of the state convention
and denies that he ever consented to
compromise whereby he was to be
given the Craftsmanship and accord to
the opponents the control Of the ex-
ecutive committee and the temporary
Craftsmanship Of the convention. He
has announced his intention Of calling
a second convention and, according to
S. B. Morrisey, secretary OF the other
committee, such an act will result In
the airing of the controversy In the
courts.
& Chairman Maxwell represents the
anti-Hearst forces and asserts they
are ready to recognize him as chair
man, He insists that the call issued
by Chairman jackson for the conven-
ton at Iowa City, June 10, was spu-
rious and says he will call the conven-
ton in due time. Y s.
Secretary Morrisey says this action
will be met by an application for a
restraining OfQer In the courts on fIne
ground that Maxwell is not properly
chairman. He says that the members
Of the committee are selected by the
eleven district caucuses and the sew
eral caucuses would have the right
to instruct the members selected by
them to vote for a particular candi-
date for chairman, and that failing
to do this every member Of the COM
mittee was free to vote for whom he
saw fit and six Of the eleven were op-
posed to Maxwell.

DOCTORS DIFFER
REGARDING UNION
General Assembly of Presbyterian
Church Discusses Doctrines
- and Methods.

Buffalo, N. z. May 26.-The great
question overshadowing In importance
all others-the proposed reunion OF
the Presbyterian church Of the United
States and the Cumberland Presby-
terrain church which organized as
separate body in 1910 was the first
order Of business In the general as
sembly Of the Presbyterian church Of
the United States to-day.
Not since the day when the vote
was taken in 1901 on the revision of
the confession Of faith of the Presby-
terrain church, has there been such an
interest manifested in any question as
that Of the proposed reunion
The discussion pr1rnises to DC a
struggle between President Francis l..
Patton on one side and President
James D. Moffatt on the other, re-
newal Of the old struggle between the
liberal and conservative elements IN
the church. DR.. Moffatt will be sup
ported by DIR. r. r. Coyle, DR.. G. A.
bickey, DIR. ]. P. Calhoun and others
and DR.. Patten by DR.. Henry C. Min
ton, DR.. John Fox and others.
Or. Patton contends that doctrinally
the two churches are so far apart that
it will be dangerous to attempt
union. -,
DR.. Moffatt and his supporters will
argue that the ambiguity Of the old
confession has been taken away and
the language Of the present creed Is
such that 1t Is understood by the
members of the Cumberland church
an that they accept 1t as it Is.
The report Of the committe declares
that as the basis Of union each of the
assemblies must express approval or
disapproval to categorical questions on
union based on the confession of faith
of the Presbyterian church In the
= Tinted States of America as revised In
1903.
~ The committee recommends changes
In the form of government Of the
Presbyterian church in the United
States Of America allow additional or
separate presbyteries or synods to be
organized in exceptional cases. wholly
or in part within the territorial
bounds of existing presbyteries or
synods, respectively, for particular
race or nationality If desired by such

St. Petersburg, May 26.-(6:20 p.

from Lieutenant General Stoessel,
commander Of the Russian troops at
