The action of the Assembly in referring to
TIE Presbyteries the Articles of Agreement with
the two reports made by a special committee
was reached by the close vote of 80 to 81. By
this small majority the Assembly declined to
commit the church and all its interests to the
proposed scheme of federation. 1t would have
been wise and gracious course if the whole
Assembly had concurred in allowing this serious
matter, involving the life and future of the
church, to remain for the careful consideration
OF all the constituent parts. 1t would have
been Difference to the views of a great BODY
OF the people, including many of its most trust
ed leaders, that would have been honorable TO
those who have advocated the scheme AS it is.
the federationists, pushing the matter to an issue
in this Assembly, we're defeated. In our iudg-
ment a great peril has been averted the honor
and dignity of the church have been sustained.
and in all the Presbyteries there will be oppor-
tunty for calm consideration. There will be
much light thrown on the matter, for example.
by tie action of the other churches We suppose
our committee, of which DR.. Strickler is chair
man. goes out of existence. The Church which
has been so prosperous in the years that have
passed will 60 on in its work without disturb

heart.

MEXICAN QUITS;
NELSON WORKS
HERRERA DROPS GLOVES TILL
BATTLE TONIGHT
Dane VIII DO a Practice stunt This
Afternoon - Ring Enthusiasts
From Many Points Are Gath
ing Here

Tommy Jacobs tripped the last go
with Aurelio Herrera yesterday after
noon and from now on the Mexican
boy will not touch a glove until the
moment comes when he shall be called
upon to face the Dane.
A little light work with the BELLS n
few walks along the roads out Central
avenue way and Battling Nelson's op.
ponent will be ready for the battle of
his life
Herrera has trained s never before
and If he does not put the Dane away
tomorrow night the chances are that
he does not possess the wherewith to
climb the last rung that lies between
him and the lightweight championship
of the world.
Every opportunity has been thrown
In the way of the dark-skinned boxer
and unless he has grasped them with
the firmest kind of a grip it Is good
by to championship aspirations
In Nelson, Herrera is to meet a bat
tier built for him. If he cannot best the
plunging Hegewisch boy there is small
reason to see where the crown may
ever rest upon his head. 1t will be n
question of his hitting ability and in
Bat he will encounter a man whom he
should be able to land upon, If not at
will, sufficiently to test his punching
powers.
Bats Iron Jaw
They say that Bat has jaw of iron.
They have said the same of other
boxers in the past, only to have bet
ter man spoil the illusion. If the Dane,
however, withstands Herrera's on
slaught in the coming battle, no one
will dispute the ironclad proposition
Nelson, unlike Herrera, will work this
afternoon and both appear as uncon-
cerned regarding the outcome as though
the battle were to be merely a sparring
exhibition with the Dane as one of the
principals. Says Nolan:
81 know you fellows have seen this
Mexican fight and know that he is a
dangerous man. However, l have
watched him box ten times to most
peoples once and believe that l know
him like a book.
What weak spots he has / realize,
and you may wager that Bat will take
of them on Friday night.
numerous gathering of boxing en-
thusiasts from every part of the coun-
try indicates the interest which has
been aroused as regards tomorrow
nights battle and with but two more
days to intervene an impatient spirit
pervades the situation.

TROLLEY, CYCLE
AND AUTO CRASH
YOUTHFUL RIDER, WOMAN AND
CHAUFFEUR HURT
Passengers Threaten Operator of Ma
chine, Who Carried No Number.
Occupants of His Auto
Are Spilled

Arthur Witter, Ia years old a woman
and a chauffeur, both unidentified,
were seriously injured in triple col
lision between an automobile, troll
ley car and bicycle at Washington
and Estrella streets about 6:15 o'clock
last evening.
Speeding south on Estrella street the
coach bound west on Washington
street, glanced off the car and hurled
the lad into u pile of loose dirt near the
curbing. All the occupants of the auto
were thrown out, but only one woman
and the driver sustained injuries.
Infuriated passengers on the trolley
car rushed to the automobile and,
finding that it had no number, de-
manded the name of the driver. The
chauffeur paid little heed to the
clamor, but assisted the women to
their feet and made hasty inSpec-
ton of the machine.
Finding the machine was not dam
aged seriously enough to prevent it's
running, he Informed the three other
members of the party and they leaped
into the machine and drove off. Some
difficulty was said to have been ex-
ny lnG uIlNcI III SCIllil6 tllS
auto out of the throng, but he threat
ened to run over anyone who got in
his way and was soon out of the
crowd.
In a Tight Place
witnesses to the accident say that
the trolley car was running west on
Washington street at fair rate of
speed. The automobile was daShing
along Estrella street and the lad was
riding along Washington street paral-
lei with the electric, a few feet to the
right and directly even with the
front
When the driver of the auto saw
that collision was inevitable he at
tempted to turn his machine onto
Washington street parallel with the
electric. With a crash the huge ma
chine smashed into the side of the car
and easily bounded off like billiard
ball. 1t struck the Witter lads rear
wheel and threw him to the pave
ment.
In the collision the two women, who
occupied the rear seat, and the man
and the chauffeur in the front seat,
were tipped out One of .he women
was slightly bruised and the driver
sustained decorations of the face. AS
for the young cyclist, he was severely
bruised and scratched by his fall.
Warn the Motorman
Passengers on the electric cried out
to the motorman and he attempted to
prevent the collision by throwing on
the power full.
Some of the passengers on the car
made efforts to attract the cyclists
attention, but he did not seem to hear
their cries until too late. Two pas
sengers on the car, finding it impossi-
BILE to learn the name of the driver,
assisted the lad to his home, 132 South
Fremont avenue.
If complications do not arise the
Witter lad will recover from his in
juries.
