OLDER MEMBERS
OPPOSE UNION
AND SAY THEY WILL GIVE THEIR
REASONS AT THE PROPER
TIME-sPiRlTED DEBATE Ex-
PEcTED WHEN QUESTION
COMES -.
BY Associated Press.

Fort Worth, May 19.-The question
of uniting the Reformed and Presby-
terrain churches still remains matter
of speculation. Just before the close
of to-day's session of the general as
sembly of Southern Presbyterian
churches the report of the committee
on closer relations was read and cir
culated in printed form on the floor OF
the convention The report recon-
mends the appointment Of a commit
tee to confer with similar committees
from other churches as to the most
advisable course to pursue in the
premises. The report was referred to
a committee of thirteen which was or
dered by Moderator Plunkett to report
back to the assembly recommended
tons on the question of the proposed
federation. Several OF the older mem
bers of the assembly expressed them
selves as decidedly opposed to uniting
and say they will give their reasons at
the proper time. 1t is generally be-
lieved that there is little likelihood of
steps looking TO a union of the two
churches being taken by this assem-
bly,. 1t is probable that the question
of closer relationship with northern
churches will be taken up and It is
thought a union may eventually come.
When the question is brought before
the assembly the prediction is that
many spirited debates win be beard
No date has been set for a discussion
of the report
The report Of the executive commit
tee on ministerial relief was read. and
the secretary read the report OF the
executive committee on colored evan
geliZation.

FIRE DESTROYS
EXPRESS CAR
READING TRAIN STOPPED AND
CAR CUT oFF-oRIeINATEo
FROM SPARKS.
BvAssociated Press.

Philadelphia, May ''19.-An express
car On a Washington and New York
train on the Reading Railroad was de-
stroyed by fire last night at Beth
Ayres, a few miles north Of this city.
The train, which was bound for New
York, reached Jenkintown about 3
o'clock AS the train pulled out from
that station the conductor saw blaze
on top of the sealed express car. There
being no meaps TO fight the fire, the
train was stopped 'and the car side
tracked at Beth Ayres. The car win
all its contents, was completely de-
stroyed. 1t is thought the fire origi-
mated from a spark from the locomo-
tive. It is not known what the car
contained, the Reading officials refus-
ing to say anything about the fire.

no fighting at all. Luahiwa was not
struck until he was discharging his re-
volver and then he was struck on the
hand and arm, his revolver being
knocked out of his hand. Kanae claims
to have been struck on the head at the
same time. With these two exceptions
the police do not appear to have been
handled roughly to any extent.
The majority of the officers were arm
ed with revolvers; Luahiwa admitted
having in his possession ball cartridges
as well as blank cartridges, and it
would appear that if the police are try
ing to find out who fired the fatal
shot inquiries should first be directed
to their own representatives. Neither
Captain Kanae, who had charge of the
Honolulu police, nor Fernandez, who
commanded the Eva police, had any
knowledge as to how their men were
armed, nor was any investigation made
by them on that subject after the oc-
currence. The system apparently pre-
vailing i'm the police department of per-
hitting every officer to select his own
weapon when ordered on a raid; of
exercising no supervision i'm that re-
gard; and of allowing each officer to
exercise his own discretion as to when
and where and under what circum-
stances he shall use that weapon, even
if it be a deadly one, is one necessarily
fraught with danger. In my opinion,
no trouble would have arisen if the
High Sheriff had lived up to the agree
ment for cooperation made with the
plantation three months ago 1 I'M
derstand that the High Sheriff now
claims that the raid was organized for
the purpose of arresting two profess
sional gamblers, that these men were
arrested but escaped in the melee. The
facts according to the officers who
made the raid are that they arrested
eleven men including the deceased, but
five escaped. All of those arrested,
with the exception of deceased, were
produced as witnesses by the coroner,
and all are employees of the plantation
and not professional gamblers.
