All Day the Southern
Church Discussed it.
DR.. E. DANIELS IDEA
He Would Substitute Cooperation for
Federation Organic Union With
Other Churches Strongly OPP
posed by Many Presby-
terianS.
(By the Associated Press.l

Fort Worth, Texas, May 24.-Ani-
mated discussion over the question of
federation with other branches of the
church characterized todays session
of the General Assembly of the South
ern Church. The report of the special
committees on federation was under
consideration all day, the discussion
Ringing on an amendment offered by
DR.. Eugene Daniel to the effect that
that the committe should consider the
matter of cooperation, but no feder-
alton. Debate ensued on the meaning
of the word federation" with the re-
suit that the amendment was still the
question before the assembly when the
body adjourned tonight
The debates were marked by unus
uaI earnestness, the question being
taken as one of vital importance. A
considerable number of the members
are making vigorous flight on the
action recommended by the commit
tee.
The greatest objection offered to the
report is that many members of the
assembly consider that it is taking the
first step toward the organic union of
several churches involved, and this
they strongly oppose.
1t was this motive that melted Mr..
Daniel to offer his amendment.
At the time of adjournment tonight
the assembly did not seem to be any
nearer a settlement of the question
than it was when the matter was
brought up this morning. 1t will be
the first order of business tomorrow,
but will be browen into by another
matter, that of the proposed uniVer-
sity to be located at Atlanta This
question, however, will not, it is
thought, consume much of the assem-
bly's time.
A report from the standing COM
mittee on Sabbath observation and
family devotions was heard today and
adopted without debate. A report
from the standing committee on
church and Christian education was
also read before the assembly. The
report asked the endorsement by the
assembly of the efforts of the stand
ing committee appointed by the synod
of Georgia to erect an institution of
learning for the entire South, the in
stitution to be located at Atlanta.
This report will be considered tomor-
row.

BRYAN IN PROBATE COURT.
An Answer That Might Have Made
Judge Stoddard Feel Small.
(By the Associated Press. )

New Haven, Conn, May 24.-W. ].
Bryan appeared in the probate court
here today at the hearing on the ac-
counts of the estate of the late Philo
S. Bennett, of which Mr.. Bryan is ad-
ministrator. During the examination
Mr.. Bryan submitted to rapid fire of
questions from Judge Henry Stod-
dard, counsel for Mrs. Grace Bennett,
the widow, and at times considerable
impatience was manifested by both tho
questioner and the witness
Among other things Judge Stod-
dard asked:
What have you done in the settle
ment of this estate?"
Mr.. Bryan replied:
II have discharged the duties of
executor to the best of my ability. and
while | have allowed the attorneys to
put into the account what they
thought to be a fair charge for my
services, / intend to use a part of that
money to carry out the desire of Mr..
Bennett for which he set apart certain
trust funds. The inheritance taxes
have reduced the trust funds and /
shall use about 81, 800 to make up the
deficiency"

Columbus, Ohio, May 24.-Although
the opening session of the Republican
State Convention was routine, con-
sisting chiefly of the announcement of
the committees and of the State COM
mitteemen whom the district delega-
ton had chosen earlier in the day,
the fact that Secretary of War w. H.
Taft, the temporary chairman, made
his debut in his native State as a State
convention orator, drew q large and
attentive audience. During the read
ing of his speech hearty applause
greeted the mention of President
Roosevelt and the illusions to the
Presidents action or policy The
chairman's plain statement of his
opinion as to certain questions con-
corning which there had been much
adverse criticism, was the occasion
for some of the heartiest cheering
of the day

cussed the railway rate question, say
ing the bill passed by the House seem

give the added power to the commits

Strike in Chicago Takes
on New Life.
Stagnation in the Lumber Yards. May
or Dunno Issues Call For
Thousand Extra Police
men,.
CBv the Associatede Press

Chicago, May 24.-Final rejection
of union teamsters' demands, espec-
tally those of the express drivers, was
officially announced today by the en-
ployers, thus annulling any prese 1t
settlement of the teamsterS strike.
The employers demand unconditional
surrender. Neither sdie in the strike
made a direct step towards peace to-
day and each was apparently waiting
the next move of the other. The en-
pIoyers esnt their goods all over the
city under police protection Witho 1t
encountering violence.
The strike in the lumber yards
spread with great rapidly and nearlV
all lumber business is at standstlll.
Some few lumber yards are still i'll
operation. but their volume of bust
ness is small.
number of planning mills and sash
and door factories were compelled to
shorten operations today and by Fri
day at least will be compelled to close
entirely if the supply of lumber is not
largely increased. The lumber yards
made little effort to transact business
today and were waiting for drivers
to be sent them by the employers
teaming company.
A number of these, it is expected,
will be at work tomorrow, and bust
ness will be resumed in a small de-
gree at least.
One cause for the lack of energy
on the part of the employers in the
lumber yards today was that the city
WAS not able to afford the drivers po-
lice protection. Mayor Dunno pro-
vided against this contingency tonight
by issuing q call for one thousand
extra policemen who will be sworn
in as rapidly as applications are filed
by suitable men, This will be the
second one thousand of extra police
men sworn in since the beginning of
the strike. Sheriff Barrett today
swore in several hundred deputies, the
largest number at any one time since
the strike began.
President c. P. Shea, of the Team
sters' Union; James B. Barry, busl-
ness agent of the Express Drivers
Union; Bernard Mulligan, president
of the Express Drivers Union, and
John III. Donahue mer-N@ of the
Express Drivers Union, will appear
before Judge Kohlsaat in the United
States Court tomorrow. Attorney
Mayer, acting for the Employers as
ISOLATION, will ask that the men be
sent to Jail on a charge of contempt
of court in refusing to answer ques-
lions before master in Chancery
Sherman which questions they had
previously been ordered to answer by
the court.

A NEW FRANCHISE
To Raleigh Electric Rail
way Company.
viii Build One and Quarter Miles Ct
Track in City and Go to Union
Depot Within
Year.

The Raleigh Electric Company,
operating the city railway, has now
in it's strong box new franchise or
charter, which extends it's life thirty
four years, perhaps fifty-four years.
This franchise was granted last
night at a special meeting of the
Board of Aldermen which had for a
short time discussed the matter at a
special meeting at noon yesterday.
The session last night lasted but a
few minutes.
The franchise granted is in very
much the same language as that re-
Gently granted the Raleigh and Dur
ham Passenger and Power Company,
and is also an extension of the pres
ent charter or franchise which has
six years yet to run, making the total
life of the present company forty
years, in certain events and sixty
years under other circumstances.
First of all the company is to be-
gin to construct in six months a line
to the Union depot this to be finish
ed within twelve months, ready for
operation, and also to have in oper-
alton within one year, one and a
quarter miles of new trackage in the
city, with enough outside to bring the
total UP to two miles Of new track
age.
And there is another provision also
and this is that If the Raleigh and
Durham Power and Passenger Com
pany does not in five years operate a
track in the eastern part of Raleigh
that the Raleigh Electric Company
Shall put i'm such tracks and operate
cars. If the Raleigh and Durham
performs its contract then the fran
chise granted last night is to be fifty
four years, this plus the six years of
the present charter, so as to make the
two franchises end at the same time.
This, so one close to the Raleigh
Electric Company says puts the Raj
eigh Company in a position to make
a contract to build along Saunders
street and out to Glenwood if the
project of building that suburban
residential place is carried out. 1t is
also stated that the Raleigh Electric
Company is now entirely controlled by
Raleigh people.
The Glenwood Company, formed to
build up that property beyond the ex-
tension of Saunders street have asked
the Aldermanic Committee on sewer
age to allow it to make sewerage con-
nections with Raleigh, and that re-
quest is to be acted upon today by
the committee.
There is thus revival of street
railway and suburban residence pro-
jects and time is the only way to
learn the result. This may be a short
time for the Raleigh Railway people
say that the extension will be rapidly
pushed and that the year will not be
taken.
