League Official Organ Is
Not Popular.

tipathy toward the temperance report came
today when DR.. David Wills, jr., of Os-
wego appointed Friday by DIR. William H.
Roberts. moderator, handed in his resigna-
ton with an absolute refusal to serve upon
this committee. He gave as his reason that

mittee which win be the bone of contention
and the target for the shafts Of those op-
posed to the report.
When interviewed later at the Southern
Hotel today upon his resignation, DR.. Wills
said that he resigned because Of reasons
that he did not care to discuss. They were
not because Of the merits Of the case, he de-
clared. He admitted, however, that he did
not come here to quarrel.
Another Chairman.
DR.. Roberts will appoint another chair
man some time today. 1t is thought that
he will have a hard time finding some one
who will remain fixture in this place, be-
cause Of the opposition and the movement
said to be on foot to shelve the report
The committee on temperance is as fol-

Report Next Friday.
The report of the committee on interstate
temperance will probably be made next FRI

question will be lively up to that time.
Prof. Scanlon of Pittsburg is directing the
committee work. There Is strong OPPOSE
ton to the anti-saloon league, many COM
missioners declaring that they will not vote
to continue the work of this league Many
believe that the young and old peoples So
cieties should take up the work Of the anti
saloon league within the church The
friends OF the league among the commits
sioners are fatty against the churches com
Ing out as not In favor Of the league They
are giving many reasons why the league
should be supported. The fight promises to
become one Of the most interesting of the
whole assembly.
Urged to Stand By.
Whayne Wheeler, superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon League. Is urging his friends
among the commissioners to stand by the
Church League. He was asked today what
attitude the league will take in the i'm
pending fight which is to be waged by menu
bers of the temperance committee against
a resolution that the league be declared the
official representative of the general assem-
bly,.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ALBANY, N. T., May 1S.-Speaker
Joseph @. Cannon of the House of Repre-
sentatives called on Gov Hughes at the
executive chamber today and the two had
a pleasant interview. Both afterward de-
clared that their talk was Of a general
character. The Speaker was here to at
tend the outing of the periodical publishers.
who came up from New York last even
ing and had a dinner at the Ten Eyck
Hotel, at which both the governor and
the Speaker made speeches. The Speaker
at that time told the publishers that while
they might be good publishers and he
would probably not be any use in their
line, still he would not appoint any one of
them chairman Of any important commit
tee of the House for 1t was necessary, in
his line, as in theirs, to get men who were
on to the hang Of the job for the important
work.
Speaker Cannon deprecated in his con-
versation with the newspaper men in the
executive chamber today the talk thus
early Of favorite sons for the presidential
nomination. He told how he felt about it
by giving dog story as an Illustration.
The "Sooner" Dogs.
"Out on the Wabash" said the Speaker,
VIC Aolc that the QOS winch Is always
first to give tongue when the pack is let
loose is the one least likely to tree coon
or other game. These dogs, which are too
quick to raise a commotion. we term
sooner dogs
When the Speaker was asked to give his
impression that some tares had gotten into
the wheat and that the people thought it
good thing to get some one to separate the
tares and the good grain while they should
continue to work in the wheat fields, and
that they considered that Gov. Hurges was
secured for this purpose, he merely replied
by saying that he had no doubt but that
Gov. Hughes was performing his whole
duty.
While the governor and the Speaker were
chatting at the big desk in the executive
chamber, Regent st. Clair MeKelway and
Senator John Raines were sitting in another
part of the room. waiting an opportunity to
see the governor.
The regent turned to Raines and said: SIT
would not be strange If we were looking
at the next candidates for the next Presi-
dent and Vice President = Cannon and
Hughes"
NO said the senator, stranger things
than that have happened"
Gov. Hughes, when seen later by the
newspaper men, declined to enter into any
discussion of presidential booms.

VINO have brought forward the interchurch
council as substitution for the league
we owe our existence to the individual
churches, and the men who have started
this revolt against us have been condemned
more severely by their own congregations
than we would ever dare to do. There will
be no danger of this movement succeeding.
We do not fear the fight because we know
we shall win.'
Committee on Mems Societies.
The report of the committee on mems So
cieties, which has had in hand the organiza
ton OF the Presbyterian brotherhood is on
the program today. The committee will
connne itself to presentation of the plan
OF organization as adopted at meeting at
indianapolis last year, Rev. John Clark
Hill of Springfield, Ohio, is chairman OF the
committee.
There is possibility that this report may
Dc deterred, as there are some points con-
corning which the committee is not agreed.
Iasins lalled TO reach a conclusion at a
meeting held last night 1t is not likely
however, according to the opinion of mem
pers OF the committee, that the difference
Will reach the floor of the assembly.
x,,e airnlan Hill of the committee is much
disappointed in the organization of the Pres
p5terlan brotherhood, as it does NOT follow
the iaeas ne advocated, he being one of the
pfincipal men of the original committee. IT
49, mo pan tHat the brotherhood should
ne purely UNCONVENTIONAL church brother
hood, which could be used in the internal
ihana cement and affairs of the church. The
constitution of the brotherhood as drawn is
ambiguous enough that should any future
ieaoers feel so disposed to interpret them
the brotherhood could take into its fold any
men s societies, making a federation BODY
instead of church unit
Laymen's Society.
Another point of difference is as to MEM
ners of the council of twenty-one, the gov
erning body of the brotherhood. Some
wanted 1t to be made up in part of min
lsters but others insisted that it was the
intention Of the assembly that the brother
hood should be purely q laymen's society.
Iney carried their point, and the council
OF twenty-one is composed entirely of lay
men. There is also an advisory council.
whose interest and purpose are not clear
even in the minds of some of it's members.
The advocates of the laymen plan, wanted
all those members to be laymen, too; then
II was finally decided by making the syn
od1cal chairmen Of the committees on mems
societies members Of the national advisory
committee, which gives representation Of
ministers.
Although DR.. Wills refuses to discuss
the reasons of his withdrawal from the
committee on temperance, 1t is the general
impression In the assembly that he de-
sired to avoid participating in any bitter
fights over the proposition to make the
Anti-Saloon League the official organ
through which the temperance work of the
church rs to be done.

vulged, although they are known to Chi

H. A. Foss of the board of trade, and one
or two other Chicagoans, who occasionally
take run out into the far west to enjoy
the mountain air.
Mr.. Kent, who is now on his ranch near
Golcorlda, New, heard that Apache Kid"

expedition that would bring in the bandits
head as evidence.
Mr.. Foss happened to be in the neighbor-
hood, and was present when the Apache
Kids" Uranium was laid at Mr.. Kent's feet
by band Of ranchers.

the shooting, it Is declared by the police,
he admitted that he fired at MacAboy.
II shot him." Philip is alleged to have
told the police, with a blank cartridge"
The last phrase was uttered after hesita-
ton. and Philip laughed as he made the re-
mark as to the blank cartridge.
II suppose he is scared to death" Philip
remarked, when told that MacAboy was
in a serious condition on the operating table
at the hospital.
After Philip had been arrested MacAboy
was carried down to the front doof of the
hotel and placed in the patrol wagon of the
third precinct. Accompanied by DR.. Jack
son Sergt. Evans and Detective Helan Mac
Alloy made the trip, suffering great pain.
When asked by the surgeons at the hos
pital regarding the cause of the shooting,
MacAboy remarked:
Statement to Surgeons.
II wouldn't take drink with him and he
ahot me-
The patient told the detectives and po-
licemen that Philip had invited him to the
hotel to have a drink, and that when he
met Philip in the hallway Of the hotel, the
latter shot him without a word of provo
cation or a quarrel Of any kind.
Philip and McAboy had a quarrel in the
automobile in which they were riding
shortly before they reached the hotel. &C
was in regard to bill for $3.50 which Phil
ip owed MacAboy, who, 1t is declared, was
persistent in demanding payment, and his
persistency is thought to have aroused the
ire Of Philip and probably led to the shoot
ing. Immediately after his arrest Philip
told the police, they say. that the cause
of the trouble was the $3.50 hack bill which
MacAboy claimed was due him. Philip adj
mitted further that there was bill against
him for hack hire.
Spent Money Freely.
Philip is well known in local social cir
cles During the past six months he has
been here most of the time, and has spent
money literally. Wild tales of his ex-
penditures were heard this morning, after
the shooting 1t is known that he recently
inherited large amount of money reputed
to be several hundred thousand dollars.
Philips brother called to see the prisoner
this morning at the Police Court, and OBJ
tanned permission from Prosecuting Attor-
ney Given to interview him. Later, he re-
tanned Attorney Oscar Luckett as counsel
for the accused. The attorney visited the
defendant at the Police Court later in the
morning He instructed the prisoner to say
nothing regarding the shooting to the police
OF to newspaper men.
Condition Extremely Critical.
Shortly before o'clock this afternoon it
was stated at the Emergency Hospital that
the condition Of MacAboy was then ex-
tremely critical, and that Detective Pratt
and Assistant United States Attorney Hugh
F. Taggart were taking the patients ante
