UNION IN FULL FORCE
FINAL ACTION TAKEN REUNITiNa
TWO BRANCHES OF PREsRY.
TERRAIN CHURCH.
STORM OF REJOICING FOLLOWS VOTE
TWO MEMBERS OF GENERAL AS.
sEMBLY ALONE IN oPPosl.
TIoN TO PLAN.

Des Moines, May 25.-"I do solemn.
ly declare and here publicly announce
that the basis of reunion and union is
now In full force and effect and that
the Cumberland Presbyterian church
is now reunited with the Presbyterian
church in the United States of Amer
lea as one church."
With these words uttered before the
general assembly Moderator Hunter
Corbett officially established the un.
ion of the Cumberland church with the
Presbyterian church in the United
States of America.
The big ecclesiastical assembly
burst into storm of rejoicing. Hand
clapping, cheering and waving of
handkerchiefs gave expression to un-
alloyed pleasure. The consummation
devoutly wished and worked for
through many years, despite many OBJ
stacles, had become reality.
The most intensely dramatic scene
of the ceremonies attending the for
vote against union by two commission
ers. Moderator Hunter COrbett put
the question, which was in the form
of resolution, and called for the
affirmative vote to be expressed by
The Commissioners Rising.
Instantly the assembly hall was con-
verted into stamping, cheering
crowd. AS the handclapping and
sioners took their seats the moderator
said: .-....
"All who are of the opinion that the
motion should not prevail please rise" !"
A laugh went around the hall, for it
was believed the request was mere
sponse. To the astonishment of all
present two commissioners rose to
their feet Pandemonium broke loose
and 1t was feared for an instant that
tndignity would be offered the lonely
men who opposed the union. One of
the men was DR.. William Laurie of
Bellefonte, Pa, and the other was
Rev. Roger F. Cressey Of Jackson
vile, III. 4
The assembly telegraphed the Cum.
berland assembly at Decatur, ILL.,, of
the action on the question of union
Immediately after the juncture was
declared operative and received a
telegram in reply containing congratu-
lations, announcing the official receipt
of the information and the adjourn
ment of the Cumberland assembly.

ROASTS RAILWAY PRESIDENT
Sharp Criticism in Decision by Fed.
eraI Court of Appeals.

erai court OF Appeals.
New York, May 25.-Sharp criticism
of w. II. Truesdale, president of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
railroad, for breaking a contract to
carry milk on that road is contained
in decision of the United States cir
cult court of appeals. Damages
amounting to $137,SS3 were awarded
to Robert F. Westcott, an executor of
the estate of John H. Paul, who had a
contract under which he bought great
quantities Of milk from farmers and
shipped it over the Lackawanna.
Judge Wallace, in his decision, said
that President Truesdale's reputation
of the contract was inspired by sordid
motives and committed with an 'arro-
gance born of a scorn Of the conse-
quences," that the appropriation OF
Westcott's percentages of the money
which the defendant had collected for
him was morally no better than lar
ceny," and that conduct like Trues-
dale's by those who manage the af-
fairs of great corporations has aroused
the spirit of resentment in the public
mind which is so intense today and
which is not unlikely to result in liti-
cation and in municipal interference
which will bring serious loss upon the
stockholders

HOUSE FAvoRs LOCK CANAL.
Opinion of Chairman Tawney Of Apr
propriations Committee.

Washington, May 25.-The sundry
civil bill, when reported from the
house committee on appropriations,
will not contain anything suggesting
the type of canal to be constructed at
Panama. 1t will appropriate for the
canal on the basis of the lock system.
Chairman Tawney has made an in
quiry and is convinced that a large
majority favors lock canal and any
attempt to amend the bill so as to
provide for sea level canal will fail.
A number of senators have inquired of
Mr.. TaWney what would be the effect
OF an amendment in the senate to
the sundry civil bill providing for
sea level canal, stating that it was
quite probable that majority of the
senate favored that type. In reply
Mr.. TaWney said that the senate
would be obliged to recede or the
house would by a vote have to in
struct him to accept such an amend
ment, as he would oppose any propo-
sitton of that kind In an appropria-
ton bill.

Pennsylvania Senator restifias at
Cleveland Hearing.
Cleveland, May 25.-The continua-
tion of the interstate commerce. com.
missions investigation into the meth
DDS of the Standard Oil company was
begun mere during the day. Former
Attorney General Frank S. Monett of
Ohio was present for the commission
and as special counsel and Virgil P,
Kline, the Cleveland corporation attor-
ney and close friend and adviser of
John D. Rockefeller, and F. H. Tolles
appeared as counsel for the Standard
company.
State Senator Louis Emery of Brad
ford, Pa, was the principal witness.
He was asked concerning the condi-
tions in Pennsylvania when the oil
pipe lines were constructed in that
state. a+
''The first pipe lines in Pennsyl.
vania were not invented by the Stand
ard Oil company" he said. "The
Standard never invented everything,
1t has always stolen what somebody
else created
He related ten years fight to get
two pipe lines to the seaboard, one
by way of Philadelphia and the other
through West Virginia. In one con.
test he said the company lost between
100000 and 100000 expended for the
establishing of many miles OF pipe.
1--WE are today" the senator said,
who is interested in the United States
Pipe Line company, ''the only COM
petitor of the Standard to the sea
. board and that is the only way we
can transport our oil, for the railroads
are controlled completely by the
Standard. We have been bounded to
death by the Standard. They even
tried to buy up our $1,000,0 600 issue Of
stock and we were compelled to put
our stock in trust so that it would not
, be possible to sell out to this devil
fish except by the unanimous consent
of all of u.s." '-~

Harrisburg, Pa, May 25.-The Pro-
hibition state convention has nomi-
mated mixed ticket for the state Of
fees to be voted for at the next gen.
eral election. William H. Berry, Dem
Ocrat, who was elected state treasurer
as a Fusionist last November, was

sentative William T. Creary, Demo
cfat, of CatiWisa, for auditor general,
and ex-Representative E. A. Coray,
Jr., Republican, of Wilkesbarre, for

Castles nomination for governor
was regarded as a certainty until a
conference of the party leaders was
called to outline the work of the con-
vention. After remaining in session
until o'clock in the morning the con.
ference decided on Berry. This was
satisfactory to Castle and his friends
and the remainder of the ticket was

President of Defunct Chicago
Bank Charged With Crime.
MlSAPPROPRlATED FUNDS
Federal Warrant Accuses Walsh With
Violating National Banking Laws
in Making False Returns to
Comptroller of Currency.

CHICAGO, March John r. Walsh,
president of the defunct Chicago Ma.
tional Bank was today arrested on a
federal warrant charging him with vio-
lating the national banking laws in
making false returns to the comptroller
of currency and also asserting he con-
verted to private use without the prop.
cr authority, funds of the bank amount
ing to 100000. Walsh was released
after giving a $4,000 bond The com.
plant specifically charges that Walsh
unlawfully made certain entries to the
effect at the close of business on No
yember 9th, that the amount of loans
and discounts on which the officers and
directors We're liable was $4,000 where
MS in fact it was $3,0OO,O00 and that the
amount on which he was not liable was
over $l0,000,O00 where it was 81 800, 900.
The arrest of Walsh came as a direct
result of the last examination of the
books of the Chicago National Bank by
special Examiner Curry. The data fur
nished the treasury department was sent
to District Attorney Morrison with in
structions to take proper steps.
After his release, Walsh stated he be-
Geved more thorough investigation of
the facts by the department of justice
and comparison of the returns with
the books of the bank would convince
the department that it's action was un-
called for and cannot be sustained
Walsh aserts any inference that there
has been a misappropriation of funds in
any way, is false.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-The SEN
ate today passed the five civilized tribes
bill, but under the guise of considering
the bill it consumed practically the en-
tire day in q discussion of the railway
question. The subject came up on La
Folette's proposed amendment prohibit
ing railroads from owning or acquiring
coal lands in the Indian Territory. The
amendment was finally laid on the table.
Notwithstanding that La Toilette has
been in the Senate less than three
months, he led the debate and occupied
more time than any other Senator. 1t
is a general bill for the final adjustment
of the affairs of the five civilized tribes
upon the abandonment of their tribal
organization.

say tomorrow:
The Statesman is authorized to an
nounce that Steve Adams, arrested al
Haines, Oregon, in connection with the
Steunenbers assassination made a full
and sweeping confession. This comics,
sion is far more important than Or
cards.
This statement was made last even
ing by James Mcfarland, the famous
detective in the presence of Governor
Gooding and II H. Hawley who is in
charge OF the prosecution,
'McParland added that Adams confes-
sion is fully and exactly corroborated by
that made by Orchard at every point
touched upon by both.
Moreover, MCFARLAND continued, Ad-
ans knows far more of the workings of
the Inner Circle than Orchard, and was
able to give a mass of detailed informa-
ton which Orchards confession does not
cover.
"The confession of Adams, he said. is
corroborated by that given by Orchard,
in every substantial point connected
with the assassination of Steunenberg.
Adams, however, was not at Caldwell
at the time of the assassination, nor
with Orchard at the time of the unsuc.
cessful attempt in November. The man
who assisted Orchard on the latter oc-
casion was Jack Simpkins.
Still another statement made by the
detective was that Adams confessions
gave the details of a large number of
murders not referred to in any manner
by Orchard. He further stated the con-
fession had been reduced to writing,
signed and acknowledged. 1t was a vol
luminous document, covering a greater
field and in more detail than that made
by Orchard, A further statement was
made, that Adams had made his con-
fession without being promised any
thing. When talked with about tie
