SOUTHERN PRESBYTERIANS
Caldwell Heresy Case Took Up the
Time Yesterday.

Greenville. s g. May 22.-The gen
eral assembly Of the Southern Presby-
terrain church today took I'D the con-
sideration of the Caldwell heresy case,
and arguments on the case viii be
heard through large part of tomor-
rows sessions. The action Of the synod
OF Texas IN suspending DR.. W. z. Cald-
we'll from the DastOrate OF the First
Presbyterian church Of Fort Worth was
the subject under consideration, and
the opinion is expressed tonight that the
assembly VIII overrUle the action Of the
synod and reinstate DR.. Caldwell as
pastor Of the church.
The report Of the committee OF closer
relations which was submitted to the
assembly today was made the special
order for II O'Clock tomorrow morning.
A majority report was submitted,
which favored the decision Of what is
known as the Charlotte conference,
which recommended the establishment
of an ecclesiastical council to be known
as "the council of the Reformed
churches in America holding the Pres
byterian system"
The object of such council was to
promote closer relations and more eff
fective administrat tive cooperation
among these churches.
A minority report was also submitted.
This report objected to the adoption
Of the majority report, largely on the
ground that the plan proposed would be
too complicated and too expensive.

FOR A HINDOO TO EXPLAIN
A Batch of Wonder Tales Told by
New Workers.
New York SUM-


They were talking of the occult. The
Broadway merchant said he had been
persuaded by his wife TO consult a
soothsayer who read the hands and the
stars.
In his business this man employs a
good many persons He had for some
time known that something was wrong
and that he returns were not what
they should be.
The first thing the soothsayer said
to him, as he looked at his hand was
that he was losing about $4,000 a year.
He first told me-" said the mer-
chant. the initials Of my managers
name. He then described his personal
appearance and characteristics more
accurately than I could have done.
He also indicated so clearly such
of my employees as were working with
him in defrauding me that I was able
easily TO recognize them
1T was difficult for me to believe
what he told me of my confidential
man, as I regarded him more as a
friend than an employee, but ] made UP
my mind to follow directions. I found
all just as the reader had stated"
How do you account for this man 5

the man who had told the story. "All
that I know IS what he told me was
true and saved me more money than
1 could afford to lose"
Have you had experience with
them2" the musician asked.
Yes, a little. The subject of my first
successful picture was given me by
woman who read the future, not in the
hand, but from it, for she did not know
palmistry. She told me what I would
paint: that the picture would be hung
on the line: that I would sell 1t for
good price and what the price would
be; but she was not able to duplicate
this feat, or even approach a duplicate
for me. Do tell about your purse, Les
