Cookies appeal against the ruling OF
Bishop Moore in the matter of Cooke $
charges against Chancellor J. r. Day,
Of Syracuse university, has been dis
missed by the judiciary committee Of
the general conference of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church. Cooke pre-
ferred charges against Day before the
New York conference, alleging Day
had spoken disrespectfully of President
Roosevelt in his writings. Bishop
Moore ruled them out on the ground
that they were not in proper form to
come before the conference.
1t was decided to merge the Meth
odist Book Concern at New York and
the Western Methodist Book Concern
at Cincinnati into one corporation, to
be called the Methodist Book Con-
Germ.
New Episcopal residences were fixed

Minority Members OF Senate
Agree to Vote Against Cur
rency Measure
ATTEMPT TO MAKE CAPITAL
Democrats Ask For Assurance That
other Measures Will Be Considered
Before Adjournment-AIdrich Quzzed
by Demoerats-HaIe Adopts OBJ
struetionist Tactics.

Washington, May 28-Fifteen DEM
ocratic senator's, all that remain in the
city, conferred for an hour and half
today, and agreed they would stand
together in opposition to the Aldrich-
Vreeland compromise currency bill.
Many of them will speak
against the passage of the bill,
but there is nothing to indicate the -op-
position would take the form of fill
buster. The absence of such inclina-
ton was best illustrated by a predic-
ton after the conference that CON
gress probably will be able to adjourn
tomorrow. certainly not later than Sat
urday."
Democrats Try to Make Capital.
Immediately after the reading of the
Journal in the senate today. Aldrich
began an explanation of the compro-
mise currency bill, but hadn't gone
far before Culberson interrupted and
asked what assurance Aldrich could
give that the ,anti-injunction bill
would be passed before congress ad-
journed. This was the first positive
indication of an effort to obtain party
capital out of the situation
Aldrich replied that he believed it
was absolutely impossible at this ses-
sion to pass such BILL because of a
great diversity of opinion on that sub
ject Culberson then wanted to know
whether the campaign publicity bill
could be passed before adjournment.
Aldrich declared so far as he is con-
.cerned he would favor voting on the
bill on that subject as soon as the
pending currency bill be disposed of.
A request for unanimous consent by
Beveridge that the house publicity bill
be taken up without disposition of the
currency bill, was objected to by Hale,
who said he did not propose to mort
gage the future Of the senate" Dis
cussion of the currency bill then pro-
ceeded.
Teller, speaking against the bill. de-
clared the door was exceedingly wide
open in the matter Of securities" He
didn't believe, however, the opponents
of the measure should enter init fill
clustering proceedings against it. He
objected to the scheme of accepting
collateral securities for emergency
notes, cotton warehouse receipts, mort
cages, or any security acceptable to
the secretary of the treasury, because
he didn't believe it would put stop to
what it proposed in the bill. He said
he is aware that there is determined
effort among bankers to make COM
mercial paper an asset upon which to
issue money.

Most Radical Measure Yet.

Washington, May 2S-President
Roosevelt today signed bill, which in
the opinion of many persons, is the
most radical measure of legislation en-
acted during his administration. Its
title is To encourage the develop
ment of coal deposits in the territory
of Alaska" and its principal provision
includes an attempt to prevent monop-
oily by restricting holdings to 1850
acres of coal lands, and providing a
penalty for the forfeiture of all hold
ings by persons individually or in COM
ibination who get possession of more
than this number Of acres. 1t also gives
the government first claim on any coal
that may be mined, thus guaranteeing
a fuel supply for the navy.

Recommends That No Legisla-

Consideration
MINORITY WANTS STEVENS BILL.
Two Of Six Members Of COMMITTEES
Dissent From Findings and Recon-
mend Placing Wood Pulp and Paper
on Free List-Majority Says No Pa
per Trust Has Been Proved to Exist.

Washington, May 28.-The special
committee of six members of the
house appointed upon complaint. Of the
American Newspaper Publishers As
sociation to investigate the wood pulp
and print paper situation in relation
to the tariff, and with regard to an
alleged conspiracy in restraint Of trade,
today submitted majority and minor
ity report. The majority report, which
is signed by Mann of Illinois, Miller
Of Kansas, Stafford of Wisconsin, and.
Bannon, of Ohio, is a preliminary re-
port. and recommends that no legisla-
ton affecting wood pulp and print pa!
further investigated and reported.
The minority report, signed by Sims.
of Tennessee and Ryan of New York,
recommends the passage of the Stew
ems bill to place wood pulp and print
paper on the free list. The majority
report is summed up in the following
words:
"As the present price Of paper would
not to any considerable degree be im-s
mediately affected by repeal Of the
tariff, and as the passage Of the Stew
ems bill in its present form might spell
ruin to the paper industry and ruin
ously high prices for paper in the near
future, your committee believes It the
part of wisdom, before making recon-
mendations for positive legislation, to
await until its investigation has been
completed and thoroughly digested -
to the charge of the existence OF q
com bination in restraint Of trade
The report says: "Evidence before
the committee SO far fails to prove
any combination of print paper manu-
facturers to advance prices or other
wise in restraint of trade, but consid-
cradle evidence was presented which
might excite suspicion that such =
com bination has been made and was

results, with Speaker Cannon using his
influence as the leader of the house in
