 Ward Closes All
 SalOOnn.

Birmingham. Ala, May 20--The fea- ture of the street car tie up which be- gan in Birmingham today has been the vigorous manner in which the authori- ties have gone about guarding against disorders. Nearly one hundred extra policemen have been sworn in during the day and several score of extra dep uty sheriffs are stationed in all parts of the -scity and suburbs to see that peace is preserved Before the cars had all ceased running this morning Mayor Ward had issued orders closing all the saloons of the city and had given spe- cial instructions to allow no congregat- ing on the streets.
 The tie up was instituted by the Bir- mingham Railway. Light and Power Company as the result of the recent or ganization of e union among the men and rumors that they were about to de- mand recognition. President Robert Jemfson states that the company will never recognize the union and says soon as adequate protection can be given Tonight he states that traffic will be resumed in the morning and that officers win be stationed on all cars.
 About 490 men are employed by the company and 1t is claimed that nearly 200 of them have affiliated with the union. All men who are not affiliated are still drawing pay from the company although they are not at work very few arrests have been made today for disorder. Hundreds of drays, automo- piles, hacks and other conveyances were put into service tonight to carry the crowds to their homes from the city The steam railroads have instituted hourly passenger service to several suburban points.

for the establishment of executive commission by the presbyteries, syfi- ods and general assembly of which the moderators of the respective or ganizations shall be the leaders. If a majority of the presbyteries approve these overtures, the committee will re- port to the next General Assembly a proposition for the executive committee of the next General Assembly.
 The report of the committee was presented at the morning session, but action was not taken until the closing hour of the afternoon. The recommen- dations for the establishment of exec utive commissions met with vigorous opposition, Rev. Dr. Doremus of Mfchi- gan, declaring that 1t was an attempt to set up a Catholic hierarchy and Rev. pr. Alexander T. Kerr of Pennsylvania, denouncing 1t as born of the spirit of oligarchy and a blow at the basic principles of the church.
 The proposition found warm sup porters, however, and a strong defense was made of 1t by the chairman of the committee, Rev. Dr. James D. Moffatt president of Washington and Jeffer- son University. He declared that the proposed change in the form of gov ernment was in perfect harmony with the principles of the church but 1t did not mean a concentration of power but rather an execution of power.
 The committee in its report sug- gested that the general assemolys ex- ecutive commission should consist or fifteen members, of which the modera- tor is to be the head, that omcer pe- ing elected to serve for an entire year instead of during the session of the General Assembly as at present. Under this plan any question except 1t is oi a iudicial nature may be referred to the commission for adjustment during the interim between the sessions oi the assembly. .
 The plan necessarily extends the powers of the moderator who would act as the representative of the churcn as occasion may require, Vlsit s,ae synods. presbyteries and other pooies as may be deemed advisable in the ln- terest of the work of the church ana co,,nsel with the commission ana boards of the church where requlteo to do so. The commission would coun sel with the moderator on all suoJec's which he may choose to lay peiore them, take such action as may oe ouired to further the plans and orders of the assembly and make an annual rerort with such recommendations as thev may deem advisable to the as, semhlv The adoption of the report ol inc committee today does not pima tns assembly to these suggestions
 By unanimous vote the asse"o,. made the report of the committee or tamnerance a special order for Wed nesday afternoon at which time ths Controversy between the inter-churcf temperance federation and the ,,'a anu, U, saloon league will be threshed out or the floor of the assembly.
 Reports of the board or mlssiohs hoi freedom the college board ana the oo ai n,ittae on Christian work among sail ors and soldiers were also presented | and adopted today.

DR LYoNs's GREAT APPEAL

Birmingham, Ala, May 20.-When the minority and majority reports were submitted to the Southern Pres- byterian General Assembly today on the adoption of the Charlotte articles of agreement. it was decided to allow each side two and one-half hours To pre- sent their case. After that time speeches on the sbject were to be confined 10 nve minutes until time came for the as- eernbIy to take a vote on the subject
 The majority report of the committee favored the adoption of the articles. The speakers of the afternoon were the Rev. F. T. Glasgow, elder rom the Lexington presbytery, against the articles, and the Rev. J. s. Lyons, or Louisville, Ky. in favor or aooptiop' pr. Egbert Smith, of Louisville pro posed the motion and was apPoihleu to lead the supplication.
 One of the most forcible and impress eivas statements of the afternoon was that of Rev. Lyons. when he saio' want to say frankly that in my Juos ,oeuf the chief value of the council which is provided for in the artlcies Ia not to be found in the opportunity which it offers for cultivating irater- nal relations. or for adjusting occao sional differences, but It IS the whieh tt will render as a test of proVi- dence. If God is leading His churcnes to organic union, such an opportunity for meeting eye to eye as tnls counc.i furnishes will allow us to ascertain i'' and will make it easy for us to saIeiy nroceed. If on the other hand It IS nlafn that God is not leading us to- rether we will be in position "here z we will suffer no compromise anu from which we can recede without harm.
 .aThe church should stand at a.ten lion, before her great captain. II ne calls upon us to hold our present posi tion. let nothing move us from It, put if His command is 'Forwaro' ] Pro- nose to try to obey.
