a,oa2 CHURCHES REPRESENTED
The Most important Question Before
Body Is to Form a Closer Relation
sBetween the Different Branches of
that Denomination.
Fort Worth, Tex, May 18-The for,
ty-fifth assembly of the Presbyterian
church in he United States (Southern
Presbyterian church) convened at the
Broadway Presbyterian church this
morning Over 200 commissioners,
representing 13 synods, were present.
The morning session was taken up
with a sermon by the retiring moder

sas City.
At the session this afternoon a new
moderator will be elected for one year

the question of closer relations with
other Presbyterian bodies.
The committee appointed by the as
sembly of 1904 to confer with repre-
sentatives of other Presbyterian
churches for the purpose will make it's
report. This report will include what
is known as the 'Pittsburg Plan"
adopted at a meeting of representa-
tives of seven Presbyterian and re-
formed churches in Pittsburg, Pa, in
December, 1904, which provides for the
organization of an ecclesiastical coun-
Gil composed of at least four represen-
tatives from each church body for the
promotion of cooperation Of federated
churches in foreign missionary work,
and in general work throughout the
United States.
The assembly which convened today
represents 3082 churches and 239, 1888
communicates, according to it's last re
port. It's jurisdiction extends over all
states south of the Ohio river from
Maryland west to New Mexico.

PEACE MOVEMENT
GETS A BACKSET
Teamsters Still Running Strike
Declares President Shea.
NO BAck-DooR POLICY FOR HIM
Leader of Striking Teamsters Says
No Overtures Have Been Made for
Arbitration from Employers and that
He Will Not Make Any.


Arbitration from Employers and that
He Will Not Make Any.
Chicago, May 18.-President Corne-'
lius P. Shea, of the teamsters' Inter
national union, threw cold water to-]
day on all peace moves. He declaredl
that he had not considered arbitration
in any form between the team owners
association and the teamsters UA.on
and that he had never agreed to arbi-.
trate the question of whether the team
sters should deliver to boycottedI
houses. The declaration of Shea came,
as a surprise to all concerned, as IT,
was explicitly stated last night and'
today that Shea had made such an
agreement At the time of Shea's,
statement, the team owners associa-
ton was in conference selecting their
member of the arbitration board which
they declared both they and Shea had
agreed to.
Il am not going to arbitrate the
| question of how they shall conduct
their business" said President Shea.
There will be no back-door settle
ment. When | am beaten, shall Gomez
| out and say So"
This declaration on the part of Shea
threw the whole peace move up in theI
| air. Members of the team owners
| association started out at once to find
Shea, and get some idea of how and
where they stood How the report
mated was not explained by Shea, but
he denied that he had ever made such
an agreement. Declaring no such prop
osition as the alleged arbitration of the
| boycott had been considered by the
| teamsters, President Shea called the
story subterfuge by the team own
ers to pacify the employers associa-
| tion.
| THE teamsters are still running this
| strike" he said. do you think we
are going to arbitrate the question
| whether or not merchants may deliv-
er goods? That is what this PROPOSE
ton to arbitrate means. Do you think
we all want to go to jail? We have
not received any notice OF an arbitra-
ton proposition. l have no right to
make such an agreement as was print.
ed in the morning papers.
THE teamsters' joint council is here
to decide such matters. 1t has not
taken any such agreement up The
team owners are talking a great deal
They are meeting to appoint their rep
resentative to act upon an arbitration
committee. They have to do something
to keep the employers association
crowd off their necks."
A. j. Reed, a prominent member oi
the teamsters' joint council confirmed
President Shea's declaration that nc
agreement to arbitrate with the team
owners had been made.

Toxic, May 18.-Noon,-Th report
ed departure of Vice Admiral Roiest-

believed that Admiral Rojestvensky

enter the Pacific enroute for Vladivo-

This is, however, purely specula-

whippino post for wife eeaters,

Portland, Ore, May 1S.-The whip
ping post law" passed by the legisla-
ture January last for the punishment
of wife-beaters, goes into effect today
In this state. The new law provides
that man convicted of wife-beating
may be punished with whipping, not
exceeding 20 lashes, but this is only
an additional punishment and not the
exclusive punishment for the crime.
The old punishment by fine or inn
prisonment is still in effect under the
new law. According to the new law
the whipping is conducted within the
walls of the county or city jail, and
by the sheriff of the county or by a
regularly appointed policeman as the
case may be.

SEED WHEAT AGAIN.

In the opinion Of Prof. Con
way emil of the Minnesota
University, there is every indi-
cation of a disastrous wheat rust
in 1905, which will materially af-
feet the yield of the Red River
Valley. Prof. Macmillan has,
during the past years, made a
careful study of wheat and it's
ailments, and in an interview he
gives his reasons for a forecast
of poor wheat in 1905 and discus
ses the difference between wheat
smut and wheat rust, terms Of
ten confused by the public. Prof.
Macmillan said:
without desiring to say any
thing which would influence the
market one way or the other, it
may be predicted with reasona-
BILE confidence that the Red Riv-
er Valley wheat crop of 1905 will
show considerable rust. This is
because a strong infection Of the
straw and stubble has been
brought about during the season
of 1904 and the rust fungus has
shown some particularly yirulent
qualities. A fortunate climatic
condition would tend to reduce
the damage, -.but,suMcient mois-
ture for the favorable develop
ment of the wheat plant is also
favorable to rust. The proba-
bilities for a clean, I'M
rusted crop do not seem bright.
An advantage to next year'scrop
