Washington, April 90 President
Roosevelt proposes to fight as vigor
ously to obtain the adoption by con
gress of certain features of his legis

sage as he did to obtain the authorize
ton of additional battleships for the

he is holding up his sleeve as a trump
card his power to approve or veto the
public building bill. There is not q

keen interest in this bill. 1t will aid

Other Things More Important.
The president does not regard the
public buildings bill nearly as impor
tant as the various recommendation

Besides threatening to veto the build

tion to use his influence for or against
the reelection of members of con

charges of the CITY, For 25 years he
has served his denomination as a cler-
gyman in Minnesota The denial of
license practically means his eXpul-
sion from his denomination since the
bishops of other dioceses have been
notified and will not, according to
their practice. grant him the right to
preach elsewhere. Doctor Cotton says
little of the action except to vigorous
ly assert his belief in Christ and in
Christian doctrines and teachings.
Il am a Christian first, last and all
the time" he said. The only heresy
of which | am guilty is no heresy.
For years | have reasoned with my
self and | know now, and teach, that
the doctrine of the virgin birth and
of the resurrection are not true.
Il expect to be communicated,
though it is hard The church does
not want thinkers. Word has gone
forth that ministers of advanced
thought and progressiveness are
barred"
Dr. Cotton's dismissal from the pull
pit is an echo of the famous DR.. Crap
sey case. Dr. Cotton believes with
Doctor Crapsey and so announced
himself. On March "a Bishop Edsall
wrote the aged minister, asking him
whether it was true that he agreed
with the Crapsey doctrines and in
