BUFFALO, n. Y, May 19.-The one hun
dred and sixteenth General Assembly of
the Presbyterian Church in the United
States was this afternoon stampeded for
the Rev. ]. Addison Henry. ID. D.. of Phila-
delphia for moderator. DR.. Henry was
elected unanimously almost before the 9TH
er leading candidates for the position knew
what was going on. Three minutes before
DR.. Henry was chosen IL was generally be-
lieved that the Rev. James ID. Moffat. ID. D.
of Washington and jefferson College,
Washington. Pa, would be elected on the
second ballot at least The other promi-
nent candidate was the Rev. Howard Ag-
new Johnston, ID. D., of New York. Ii was
while the friends of DR.. Moffat and of Dr.
Johnston were preparing TO nominate their
respective candidates that the stampede for
DR.. Henry started. and he was elected with
in twenty minutes. DR.. Moffats campaign
had been carefully conducted for months
by his friends. while DR.. Henry did not
come into the contest until the last few
days.
There are in all 40 commissioners entitled
to seats in this General Assembly, which
is the court of last resort of the Presby-
terian body in this country, representing
l. 100 900 persons, 800 congregations and
7.6Do ministers. One of the main questions
to be considered is an overture from COM
mittee of the Cumberland Church which Sc
ceded from the parent body In 1910 and was
organized as separate church. The Sc
cession was doctrinal and educational
grounds. Predestination and the educa-
tional qualifications for the ministry were
among the grounds OF dissent

NAMED BY REPUBLICANS
OF THE BADGER STATE
Regulars Nominate Governor
Robert M. Lafollette for a
Third Term.
ANTS HOLD CONVENTION
And Put Cook at Head of State
Ticket-Both Senators with
the Boilers.
ANTS HOLD CONVENTION

MADISON, Wis, May 1.-TWO conven-
tions, both claiming legal status by right
of delegate majortics holding prima facie
credentials. and both asserting themselves
to be regular Republican in nature, were
concluded in Madison tonight. Two state
tickets, the one headed by Governor Root
NJ Lafollette and the other headed by
former Congressman Samuel A. Cook are
in the field to do battle to wage a war that
will not end until the last vote is counted
in November.
Characterized by order and the absence
of fierce strife. the deliberations of both
conventions seem entitled to an identical
degree of recognition, not one reference
was made TO Senator Spooner or Senator
Quarles. No clause in the resolutions bears
relations TO any national representative ex-
cept Theodore Roosevelt.
The Lafollette convention clung to the
PRONUNCIATION of the principles they declare
are behind the state administration The
ticket named includes all the present state
officers, and the platform only differs in the
intensity of it's declarations in favor of
Lafollette reforms. Since the Baensch and
Cook delegates deserted the convention to
rally under the banner of Cook there has
been no dissension in the ranks of that
branch of the party. The organization
candidates and the propaganda went
through without hitch. Governor La
toilette tonight considers himself the
choice of the Republican party. His dele
gates, according to the state central COM
mittee count numbered 5S515
The other convention, indorsed by Senator
John {. Spooner and Senator Joseph V
Quarles, together with every congressional
representative. stands ready to back a state
ticket which they declare was legally nom
mated by 56l delegates holding prma facie
credentials. Senator Spooner voiced the
sense OF the convention when he said:
These delegates sitting here will not have
TO stand merely upon the declaration of this
committee on credentials. Their right to
seats here will be tested and proved
This means that the courts will be called
upon to define this right. So careful were
the anti-third termers to preserve the
standing of Wisconsin in national Repub-

IMPERSONATION TRICK

WASHINGTON, May 19.-The Washington
police are investigating an incident which
occurred on the plaza of the Capitol to-day.
In which an attempt was made before a
moving picture machine to impersonate
President Roosevelt giving assistance to a
pretended negro in distress.
The incident occurred shortly before s
o'clock this morning A moving picture ma
chlne had been placed where ii could CON-
mand the scene. A man made UP as a negro
approached, and when directly in front of
the statue of George Washington he fell to

who witnessed the occurrence said that he
was standing the east entrance of the
Senate wing of the Capitol when he saw a
man with large Photographic outfit set up
his machine beside the Washington statue.
Two carriages were near" said Jones.
"A man got out of an open carriage and
laid down on the asphalt and directly in
front of the carriage. He was a big fat
negro and wore minstrel outfit. Another
carriage drove up and from ii alighted a
man dressed like President Roosevelt. The
latter helped the PROSTATE negro into his
carriage, offered him a cigar and tipped
his hat to the negro and the carriage was
driven off"
Republicans condemn the affair as DEM
ocratic campaign scheme to infiame race
hatred among the negro-hating whites.
The police investigation disclosed the fact
that the men who participated in the epi-
sode belong to the theatrical profession.
They are believed to have left the city.
