DIR. MOFFATT FOR UNION.
Moderator Thinks Each Branch Should
Yield q Little.

A dispatch from Winona Lake. Ind. last
night says: Delegates to the general as
sembly of the Presbyterian Church today
commemorated the four hundredth ami
versary of John Knox, Scotch reformer.
So many meetings were held that some
overlapped.
Moderator James D. Moffatt preached
the assembly sermon and referred to the
proposed union with branches of the Pres
byterian Church. DR.. Moffatt said, in
part:
There is undoubtedly q widespread
feeling throughout our church that the
United Presbyterian Church should unite
with us. We should not only ask them
to come to us, as We have been doing, but
we should make an earnest effort to go to
them. We have been asking them to come
to our position with respect to the singing
of hymns. l am not sure that We should
not go a considerable way toward their
position In the matter of the use Of
psalms. Why should we not take the
psalms of David as the form of our hymn
ody and write into them Jesus Christ?
We need not take Rouse's version of the
psalms or any existing translation of
them, but we can take a new version for
the twentieth century. To this subject L
would apply our test, God having pro-
vided some better thing for that they
without US should not be made perfect.
l hope to see the day-it may, 1t may not
be-in the near future, when all the differ
ent bodies Of the Presbyterian faith Will
unite in giving US a revised singable YER
sion of the psalms.
The program of the evangelistic meet

state oil refinery bill are great. Morgan
said:
when the S4O0, 900 appropriation for a

many members of the legislature, thought
1t was like throwing that amount of money
away Up to date the state has not drawn

what has happened:
THE reduction In the price of refined oil
is clearing the oil consumers of the state

1.-THE luxury of having twisted the tall of

healthy. well-constructed people like those
who live in Kansas.
1.-The fun of having started hunt after
the wolf and getting everybody from the
President to the preachers into the chase
is worth 100000 from an amusement stand

..The satisfaction of having shown the
world that Kansas has money to throw at

necessary. is worth at least $4,000 which
we haven't spent"

GENERAL UPHEAVAL.
Strike at Chicago Likely to Reach
Large Proportions.

A dispatch from Chicago last night says:
Sunday brought no change in the attitude
Of either side to the labor controversy now
in progress in Chicago, and everything to-
night points toward an extension of the
teamsters strike during the coming week.
officers of the seven express companies
whose refusal to reinstate any OF their
former employees, caused the collapse OF the
settlement of the trouble last night, stlll
adhere to their determination not to give
employment to any of their former en-
ployes and the other firms involved in the
difficulty tonight declared that they would
stand by the express companies in the fight.
The teamsters' union has taken just as lirm
a stand as the employers, and 1t was SAID
by President Shea tonight that the union
would not call off the strike until the e&-
press companies came to terms.
The first spread of the strike Is, expected
to come tomorrow morning, when the Lum-
bermenS Association, an organization en-
ploying z, 400 Transfers, issues an order 10
their men to make deliveries to all business
houses regardless of whether they are m
yoIyed in the strike. In an ic1pation or such
an order the teamsters met this afternoon
and voted to go on strike should any team
ster be discharged for refusing to obey the
order of the Lumbermen'S Association.
With non-union drivers making deliver
les for the iumbermen, the strike will I'M
doubtedly spread to affiliated Industries, as
refuse to handle material delivered by non
union labor. Should this lumbermen
strike be called tomorrow-and there is
nothing tonight that would indicate how 1t
can be avoided-there seems to be nothing
that can prevent a general industrial up
heaval throughout Chicago.
Levy Mayer, chief counsel for the En-
ployers' Association, gave out a statement
today in which he said:
THE employers propose to do business,
and will continue to invoke every legal
avenue for the protection of their men and
property. That the employers are right In
the attitude they have assumed IN the con-
troversy was demonstrated by the fact
that every term and condition they insisted
upon was agreed to by Shea and his COM
mtttee. Notwithstanding this, however,
Shea now insists that the express compa-
MES shall be boycotted by US In order to
bring about a settlement Of the strike. This
we will never do. The teamSters struck
against the express companies In viola ton
of the letter of their agreement despite the
fact that the men were told that If they
struck they would not be re-employed."
Alonzo Wygant general agent of the
night that so far as a settlement Of the
strike was concerned the only way that ft
could be ended would be for the teamsters
to surrender. Our men were told before
they struck" said Mr.. Wygant, that If
they went out in sympathy with others they
could not hope for reinstatement and 1
cannot now any contingency that would
change our decision in the matter"

Against Pigeon Shooting

cable from London last night says: The
sport of pigeon shooting appears to be
doomed In England. At its annual meeting
on Saturday the Huntington Club, which.
although mainly concerned with polo, was
originally started as pigeon-shooting club
by an overwhelming majority, carried
resolution proposed by the president. Earl
Ancaster, to henceforth abolish pigeon
shooting at the club. Many titled sports
men attended the meeting
Parliament attempted to deal with the
question in 1888. but the house of lords
vetoed the bill adopted by the house of
commons prohibiting trap shooting on the
ground of its brutality. It is expected that
after the Huntington Clubs decision the
lords would no longer oppose such a bill.

the base he turned to run back to where
other players were. He had gone but a
few feet when he fell forward and died
