Colonel Clark is co1sidered to be the
leading candidate for the place ana

Des Moines. May 24.-The famous
controversy and debate over the pro-
posed Presbyterian book Of forms end
ed in the general assembly late last
evening In a compromise In which all
is authorized We're stricken from the
resolutions and the text and the title
pages Of the book itself and In which
the resolution of the opposition was
also incorporated. declaring specific
ally that the assembly made no rec
concentrations with reference to 1t.
With these limitations the report Of
DIR. Henry Van Dykes committee was
adopted and all bitterness between the
factions avoided.
The book of forms will continue to be
published, but nowhere ON It's pages
will be found anything to indicate that
1t bears any authority from the Pres
byterian general assembly. all such
words and phrases having been strick-
en- out. 1t will he published merely
for the purpose contemplated by the
general assembly of 1905" and for
voluntary USE"
An effort was made by the oppose
ton To have the names Of the commit
teemen who have prepared 1T stricken
from the book, but this was defeated.
BY its action, the assembly virtually
rescinded the action, of three preceding
assemblies of 1903. 1904 and 1905, in
which progressive steps We're taken
for an authorized book of forms. The
compromise, however. avoided the Bit
terness which would have come with
a fight to finish and good nature now
reigns between the opposing sides.
The compromise was agreed upon
after numerous conferences between
DIR. Van Dyke, DR.. Moffatt and DR..
William f. McCauley of Cincinnati. the
latter leader of the opposition The
resolutions offered yesterday afternoon
Were in accord with the understanding
reached by them and the vote thereon
was unanimous.

was brought to light by the discovery
OF the horribly mutilated body OF a
man, eight miles north Of here, who
is believed to have been run over by
train. On the body WAS diary or
journal for the dates extended over
ten years, according to which the dead
man was William Kingsley, n grand
son Of Rev. Charles Kingsley, the Eng
lish author He was apparently about
80 and neatly but roughly clothed. Be-
sides the diary several letters bearing
an English postmark, but unsigned.
were found In his pockets. He also
carried valuable gold watch of an
cient make, and bearing the mono-
gram OF the man whose descendant he
claimed to be. The tact was revealed
that the man had become practically an
outcast because of an old English law
which foFbids a man to marry his de-
ceased wife.s sister. 1t seems that
Kingsley, If such was his name. mar
ried in 1894 the Hon. Mary Hamilton,
fourth daughter of a Scottish Duke;
that in the ensuing year the wife died,
leaving an infant daughter.
The daughter was taken In charge by
Dorothy Hamilton, an older sister of
kingsley's wife. who also took charge
of the establishment which the mar
ried couple maintained. Kingsley, in
the course OF time, came u love Doro-
thy Hamilton, and wished to marry
her.
Here the law against such alliances
intervened and Kingsley sought, thru
the assistance of powerful friends -
have law passed by the parliament
which would permit him to wed the
woman he loved, and who returned
his affection.
The bill was introduced In the house
OF commons and was passed by that
body without much trouble. But like
numerous Of it's predecessors-for the
question has been before the parlia-
ment for numberless years-the house
of lords rejected the measure passed
by the popular body
Then, according to the diary, Kings
ley sought but failed to induce his
sister-in- law to eiope with him to AM

marriage.
After making one other effort to
overcome the conditions which pre-
vented his marriage, he left his child
in charge Of Dorothy Hamilton and
came to the United States.
The journal for the next few years
Is a record of his wanderings
The letters which were found on his
dead body were in feminine hand, and
tho unsigned, apparently We're written
by the woman he loved. They breathed,
the purest affection and counseled pa
thence on his part and held out the
hope that eventually all things would
be righted.
According to the recent entries In
the diary, Kingsley last worked In
department store in st. Paul as por-
ter. He had been discharged for
drunkenness and had determined to go
to ST. Louis. The supposition Is that
while stealing ride on freight train
he was either thrown or fell from the
cars and been crushed to death.
