had interested him in searching for remedy
There were objections law for registration Oh
titles but they largely, he said, based upon
personal or corporate interest. One stated oh1ec-
ton was the backwardness of persons in other
states in availing themselves of the law Aho'hei'
that the Increase of clerks necessary or seemingly
necessary would largely increase the tax purae'i.

COUNCIL OF THE CHURCHES
Resolution Regarding Closing of
Schools for Religious In
struction Defeated.

Philadelphia. Dec. "A resolution that
public schools be closed one afternoon in
each week to allow the children to at
tend religious services and receive in
structions in their own churches was de-
feated after lively debate at the Fed
eral Council OF the Churches of Christ in
America.
The resolution was opposed by Bishops
Cranston and Nicely of the Methodist Epis-
copal church. who said that the federal
council should not take a stand with those
organizations which claim the right to in
terfcre with the religious freedom of the
public schools. A resolution was finally
adopted in which it was declared that it
was the duty of the church to provide re-
ligious instruction for their children as
well as the duty of parents to see that
instruction is given in the home.
Bishop Wilson of the Methodist Episco-
pal church presented the report OF the
committee on temperance and also set
of resolutions recommending the appoint
ment of a committee to call on President
elect Taft and congratulate him upon the
stand he has taken with reference to in
toxicating liquors and also to urge him to
use his influence for the suppression Of
the liquor traffic

USELESS FOR THE PURPOSE
Recommendation That Several In
dian School Buildings Be
Transferred to States.

Washington. Dec. THE report of the
commissioner of Indian affairs. F. E
Leupp. to the house of representatives
naming the non-reservation Indian
schools, which in his judgment are no
longer of value to the Indian service. was
Submitted to the house today. AS a re-
suit of an attempt at the last session of
congress to have the Carlisle Indian school
abolished the commissioner of Indian af-
fairs was directed TO investigate upon
what terms 1t may be possible to dispose
Of any of the non-reservation Indian
schools which he deemed unnecessary to
the general scheme for Indian education
The commissioner states the result of
his investigation regarding the transfer
to the several state governments of the
Grand Junction and Fort Lewis schools
Colorado; the school at Genoa, Neb. At
Chiiocco. Okla; at Chamberlain. s. D.; at
Morris. Mimi, and at Carson, New. These
are the schools which he has deemed are
not necessary for the Indian service and
which are available to the states for ed
ucational purposes or for reformatories,
insane asylums, hospitals or other pub
lie uses. The governors of the various
states in which these schools are located
have been communicated with by the
commissioner.
