mingham. Ala. says; BY vote Of
90 to % the General Assembly Of
the Southern Presbyterian Church
today voted in favor Of adopting the
Charlotte articles of agreement.
This result was reached only after
one Of the most heated discussions
In the history Of the church ard a
historical scene was enacted as the
assembly placed the church on record
as favoring closer unity With other
churches holding the Presbyterian
form Of worship.
It is the younger men Of the
church who have achieved this
result. the older commissioners be-
ing for the mos, part in opposition.
The vote on the adoption Of articles
was taken shortly after noon and
the closeness Of the final count
shows how badly divided the assem-
bly, was on the question. Whea
FIRST announced the result was g
for and IS against.

a Japanese-American war. Schuyler is
resorting to the Russian press to deny
the possibility of any trouble with ia

Attorney Dobyns for Govern
ment in Walsh Case Tries
to Impeach Mckay
BUT FAILS IN THE ATTEMPT
Man Who Had Testified for Prosecu-
ton for Three Days Failed to Re-
member Important Matter.

Chicago, Nov. 2S.--Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Dobyns, chief counsel
for the government in the trial of
John r. Walsh made an unsuccessful
attempt to impeach the testimony of
b. B. Mckay, former private secretary
to the defendant, in the federal court
yesterday. The attempt was made be-
cause Mckay, who has been on the
stand nearly three days as a govern
ment witness, failed to answer ques-
tions satisfactorily Judge Anderson
ruled against the governments course
because he considered Dobyns had
failed to lay a proper foundation for
such action.
Forgetfuiness Brings Lash.
McKays forgetfulness as to certain
matters brought on the clash with
Dobyns The witness was shown a
deposit slip for 100000 and asked il
he had deposited with it check for a
like amount to Walsh's private ac-
count On his failure to remember
Dobyns asked If he had not so testi-
fled before the grand jury that indicted
Walsh. The objection of the defense
| that happenings of grand jury are
supposed to be secret and that the
government cannot impeach it's own
witness in this manner" was sustained
and the court adjourned until Friday.
