TEMPERANCE FIGHT
STIRS CHURCHMEN.
Dr.. Henry E. Dosker Turns Troublesome
Liquor Report Back to Overture
Committee.

COIl MBJS. o., May 2O.-The tenn
pcrance question continues to be the
chief topic of discussion today among the
1000 commissioners of the Presbyterian
general assembly and the outcome of the
fight is still matter of speculation
\ sensation was created as the com
missioners were gathering for the session
today by the authoritative announcement
that DR.. Henry f.. Dosker. chairman OF
the standing committee on temperance,
VIII return the overture on temperance,
referred to his committee Saturday by
the committee on bills and overtures
Endorse Anti-Saloon League.
The overture in question condemns the
organization Of the church federation of
temperance and recommends that the
church give hearty support to the anti
saloon league. Dr. Dosker announced
that it is the business of the overture
committee TO handle this temperance
overture and he turned the overture back
TO this committee. The action of Dr.
Dosker is being criticised by many OF
the commissioners and the feeling on the
temperance question seems to be becom-
ing rather bitter among some of the com
missioners. The whole question is SEIZED
uled to come up Friday.
