New Presbyterian Moderator.

Kansas City.-Rev. DIR. Baxter p.
Fullerton of St. Louis was elected
moderator of the Presbyterian church
in the United States Thursday to sue
coed Rev DR.. William II. Roberts Of
Philadelphia. The first day OF the
general assembly of the church was
characterized by a spirit OF unity and
cooperation which promises much for
results to be accomplished during the
ten days the conference is to be in
session DR.. Roberts delivered his
farewell sermon as moderator be-
fore the greatest audience ever assem-
bled at conference of the church.
There were 500 authorized commits
sioners present from all parts of the
world. besides thousands of other
Presbyterians and spectators. There
we're present representatives from
Porto Rico. the Philippines. Alaska
and from dozen countries. Ten
thousand churches with fully 100000
adherents, most of them communi-
cants. We're represented. Dr. Roberts
sermon was an argument in favor of
Christian cooperation and harmony in
opposing the forces of evil in the
United States and the world.

Two New Bishops Elected.

Baltimore.-The battle of the bish'
oprlcs was hotly waged Thursday and
before the adjournment OF the Metho-
dist Episcopal general conference the
fifth ballot had been cast and was in
the hands OF the tellers. Rev. Or. VIII
liam F. Anderson OF New York. and
Rev. DIR. John l.. Nuelsen OF Mast
Theological seminary. Berea, Ohio.
were elected bishops upon the second
ballot. DIR. Nuelsen received his de-
gree from the university OF Denver In
1900 The third and fourth ballots
were without result.
II is expected that the newly elected
German bishop, Nuelsen. Will be given
an episcopal residence in Berlin. with
charge OF the Teutonic races in Eu-
rope. and that bishop william Burt
Will coniinc his labors to the Latin
races.
Significance attaches to n recon-
mendation which the book committee
unanimously decided to make to the
conference. Ii is that hereafter the
book concerns OF the church employ
only union men at union wages and
favorunion labor whenever opportunity
offers. During the past four years the
two great publishing houses OF the
general conference have had a good
deal OF trouble with labor unions. es-
pecially with the Typographical union.
The resolution is the outgrowth OF this
and the desire of the Methodist Epis-
copal church to get In closer touch
with laboring men and women.

COSTLY PUBLIC
BUILDING BILL
PROVIDES FOR AN EXPENDITURE
OF THIRTY-TWo MILLION
DOLLARS.
PRESIDENT CAUTIOUS
MAY MAKE 1T A LEVER TO Sc
CURE ANTi-lNJUNCTiON
BILL.

Washington.-Presid Roosevelt
already has taken notice of the $32,-
900 900 public building bill, although
that measure is still in conference be-
tween the two houses of Congress. He
asked Secretary Cortelyou to prepart
a report on the measure to guide him
in determining whether to sign or veto
It.
Mr. Cortelyou is asked to include in
his report, first whether the condition
of the public funds justify so large an
expenditure fer public buildings at
this time; second. the amount of fu-
ture expenditures which will be made
necessary to complete the new pro
jects authorized in the measure, and
third, an opinion basel on the expert
judgment OF the supervising architect
of the treasury. as to the necessity for
each of the projects provided for.
That there is a connection between
the Presidents desire TO be fully in
formed as to the public buildings bill
and his desire to have passed an anti
injunction bin and also his desire to
have bill passed to subsidize ocean
mail steamers, is declared to be most
obvious.
II is conceded that no measure
passed at this session Is more tooth
some to members of both houses than
the public building bill. The prospect
of having this bill vetoed would cause
emphatic concern and alarm.
Meanwhile the President is contin-
ung in personal work with members
to induce action on the anti-injunction
proposition and to persuade House
members that the Senate subsidy pro
vision contained in the postofiice ap-
preparation bill should be accepted.
The report, which Secretary Cortel-
you will lose no time in preparing. will
undoubtedly be convincing along its
designed lines
