ferred against Chancellor Day of Syracuse
university by Rev George Cooke of Bran
don. VT, were ruled out OF court by Bishop
David II. Cooke at the opening OF the one
hundred and ninth session of the New York

said he regarded the complaint against
Chancellor Day as direct attack upon
free speech and free press. The decision
was greeted with cheers and long continued
applause.

tained five counts and were to the effect
that he had DETAINED President Roosevelt
in some of his public utterances. DR.. Day
made no effort to answer the charges.

to throw out the charges of Mr.. Cooke,
Bishop Moore said the same charges might
just as well be brought against some mem
ber of the United States senate as against
DIR. Day. At the conclusion of his ad-
dress, when he said, "shal the character
of James r. Day be passed2" the hand of
every one of the several hundred delegates
in the big hall shot up and another round
Of applause filled the auditorium.
Charges of defamation of character,
hypocrisy and intimidation against Prof.
Broden p. Bovine of Boston university and

Rev. DR.. James NJ. Buckley, editor of the
Christian Advocate, were made by Rev.
George A. Cooke Of the Troy conference

east conference of Methodist Episcopal
churches in Brooklyn today. The charges
were dismissed by unanimous action of the
conference without debate. Similar charges
against the same men had been previously
preferred by Rev. Mr.. Cooke. but they were
not sustained. Mr.. Cooke today asked per-
mission to explain his attitude in the re-
newal of the charges, but the right to take
the floor was denied him on the ground
