VOTE AGAINST UNIVERSITY
Southern Presbyterians Do Not Sec
Their Way Clear to Establish the
Institution ut Atlanta.

Fort Worth, Texas, May 25.-The
principal feature of the morning ses-
sion of the Southern Presbyterian Gen
eral Assembly was a discussion of the
project of establishing a university for
the entire southern church at Atlanta.
The report of the standing committee
on the church which vas reported yes
terday, was again read
General debate followed the reading
of the report.
The theory of those who opposed
adopting the favorable report Of the
committee was that such an institution
should have more than S $1,000, 900 to
start on, and that if there is to be a
school for higher education that one of
the existing schools should be chosen,
rather than to build a new one. The
question was finally settled by an
amendment being offered to the effect
that the general assembly does not see
it's way clear to undertake an enter
prise, but at the same time appreciates
theW work of those who have been push
ing the question and wishes them sue
cess in their undertaking, provided
they o to carry it on Independent
ly of the general assembly for the sake
Of the synod, Or the section of the coun-
try Immediately surrounding Atlanta.
There were many commissioners who
stood firm for the proposed institution,
but these We're Outnumbered two to 4
n when the final vote was taken.
A number of minor reports were
read, among them were the following.
Report Of the committee on foreign
missions, approving the overtures of
the Chinese missions and recommend
ing the sum of $275,0OO to be expended
on mission work this year.
Report Of the twentieth century fund
committee a total of 100000 has been
pledged.
Report of the committee On syste-
matte beneficience showing total Of
$326,656 collected.
Report Of the committee on tneolog-
ical seminaries stating that great work
has been done during the year without
mourning any Indebtedness to the in
StitutiOnS.

who had a way of doing things and
he added, amid o applause. he is
our PRESIDENT Of the south as well as
of the north, or the east Or the west,
and to him we are looking for help"
A number of delegates interrupted
and expressed their willingness To
leave the solution of the question III
the Presidents hands.
Several other members protested that
the paramount question in the south,
that of cotton had been totally neglect
ed by the parliament. j. A. Brown OF
North Carolina, insisted that some sys-
TEN should be devised by which the
values of cotton should be made stable.
The resolutions reported by the con-
mittee on resolutions We're not read,
but the Erwin resolution was as fol-
lows:
Resolved. That this industrial par

TWO UNION MEN IN CONTEMPT
Mulligan and DOnohue Sentenced
Shea Upheld by Judge KOhlsaat.
Strike Spread Very Little Yestcr-
day.

Chicago, May 25.-Cornelius P. Shea,
president of the International Team
sters Union, was Upheld today by Judge
Kohlsaat of the federal court, in his
refusal to answer questions before
Master in Chancery Sherman which
might incrimina.e him. Shea is now
under indictment in the criminal court
and Judge KOhlsaat declared hat ans
wers to some questions put to him
might prejudice the hearing of his
case.
In the same decision which excused
Shea, the court ruled that Bernard
Mulligan, president of the Express
Drivers Union, and John Donohue, a
member of the same had refused to an
swer questions which could not in
any way connect them with any
criminal proceedings and they were,
therefore, in contempt of court.
He sentenced both men to Jail, but al
lowed them to remain in nominal Gus

commencement Of the strike a large

the strike. The express companies re-

TO CLEAN OUT BAD DISTRICTS
"Bunditcs- Kidding the Hebrew Dis
trlct OF Warsaw Of Disreputable
PerS6rs-Eight Persons Have Been
Killed and One Hundred Wounded

Warsaw, May :5.-The Jewish us
orders here last night arose from al at
tempt Of the Jewish socialistic organ
ization called the "Bund" TO purge the
Hebrew district Of Warsaw of ali dis
reputable persons. The Bundites with
h view OF expelling their undesirable
c~o-religionists, commenced to wreck
d~isorderly houses. cafes and othe- re-
sorts.
The disturbances continued all day
and We're still In progress late tonigat.
Eight persons have already been killed
and 100 wounded. 10 serious. The dam
age to property has been considerable.
There has been Nh pillaging, but the de-
struction of furniture in the various
houses has been absolute.
The mob armed with axes. mashed
b doors and windows and brought the
furniture out on the streets where they
broke it into small pieces. The owners
or the furniture in attempting to defend
their belongings were attacked, beaten
and even killed. Knives and revolvers
were used freely and many persons
were terribly injured.
Iooh Ao SICpo I phC~
vent the riots until late tonight wnCn
the Cossacks fired on the crowds at
two points %wOunding four persons.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press spent several hours in the dis
turbed district, but did not see a sin
gle active policeman. During the da Y
patrols occasionally appeared, but they
regarded the proceedings as merely
spectators. The character of the dis
turbances is unprecedented. The whole
affair is a conflict between the respect
able Jewish Socialist classes and the
disreputabie jewish element.
Extraordinary scenes were witnessed
late tonight when the crowds visited
the better section of the city and de-
molishe6 apartments filled with costly
effects. Wardrobes, pianos, and mir.
rors were thrown out of the windows.
The mob in the streets left open spaces
for the falling articles and then COM
pleted the work cf destruction. In enc
place a quantity of valuable jewelry
was taken out AMI deliberately SMASH
ed with stones.
The whole affair was carefully or
gained. The leaders were supplied
with the addresses Of the owners of jis1
reputable houses and scarcely a single
resort in Warsaw escaped destruction
