part of the city. About 4 o'clock this
afternoon a crowd of strike sympath1z-
ers attacked a car at Twentieth and
Kentucky streets. Ed Glenn, the strike
breaking motorman on the car, was
struck on the head with a brick and is
in a critical condition at the central
emergency hospital. The car was badly
wrecked. Manuel Silva, striking car
man, and Dan Mccarthy, a .laborer,

roads only aroused bitter feeling and
tended toward violence.

END ASSEMBLY
Temperance Controversy Is Not Re-
newed-committee DepIores In
creasine Dissertation of the
Sabbath

COLUMBUS O., May 24.-The one
hundred and nineteenth general assem-
bly, Of the Presbyterian church con-
cluded its work today, crowding into
the two last sessions vast amount OF
routine business, much of which was
of great Importance to the church.
There was no renewal, as had been ex-
pected, of the temperance controversy.
On the contrary the report Of the per-
manent committee on temperance was
accepted without debate or a dissent
ing vote.
The assembly decided to meet next
year in Kansas City.
The assembly established the colored
synod of Canadian river in Oklahoma,
it being reported that the negro men,
bers of the church in that section de-
sired a separats organization. The
committee on church polity ruled with
regard to territory where differences of
race or language made separation de-
sirable that when petition for sep
arate presbytery or synod is presented
the same shall be granted and it shall
not be necessary to secure the consent
of other members of the church in the
same territory.
The financial committee reported that
during the past year $4,609,S25 had been
received for the use of the various
boards of the church.
The committee on neurology reported
that during the year 164 ministers of
the church had died.
The report of the committee on narrar
tive deplored the increasing desecration
of the Sabbath, a laxity in the observ-
ance of the week Of prayer, the growing
restlessness in the pulpit and the conse-
quent shortening of terms of pastorates
and an increasing concern over the use
of unframed laymen in duties which
properly belonged to ministers, declar-
ing that danger turks in the practice of
calling men direct from the pew to the
pulpit.
A message of greeting was received
from the United Presbyterian assembly
in session in Denver In which the hope
was expressed that the bonds between
the two churches would be strength
ened.
