saulting Ida Lucas. Ida and two girl
friends swOre that Joseph had chased
Ida and hit her in the face with his fist
and kicked her Joseph and two men
friends sWOre that Joseph did not touch
Ida: that instead she followed him all
the way home and threw bricks at him.
The Judge cross-questiOned all of them.
but without avail. Ida's friends said
she did not throw bricks. Josephs
friends said she did.
Dismissed said the judge, with
long-drawn sigh.

RID OF RING RULE.
Presbyterians Becoming More Demo-
cratic In Government.

cratic In Government.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May o.
Church government. temperance and
marriage and divorce were the inn
protant subjects before the general
assembly OF the Presbyterian Church
OF the United States of America.
BY far the most important action
OF the session was the adoption of a
resolution which makes 1t impossible
for any paid agent or member of the
church boards. or any permanent Off
Ger of the general assembly, except
the moderator, to serve on the exc
cutive committee, the ruling being
for the administrative department Of
the church. The creation of the ex-
ecutive commission was embodied in
the report OF the administrative body
adopted by the assembly and is the
direct result of the ever-recurring
cry that certain men in the church
were acquiring too much power.
From this time forth new men will
be in charge of the government of the
church. The action means that all
the church boards will report to the
executive committee of Is members
when It has been selected and that
the government of the church will de-
volve upon men who have not here
tofore served in executive capacity.
While the speeches made before
the assembly indicated that half a
dozen men were In the so-called
church ring" 1t is an open secret
that DIR. william Henry Roberts Of
Philadelphia. the retiring moderator,
was the man against whom the pro-
tests were aimed. Commissioners
talking about DR.. Roberts, said they
loved him. but that he was SO efficient
in the affairs of the church that his
very ability gave him more power
than one man should have. He has
been in the assembly so long, they
say, that he had an intimate know
ledge Of every detail of the church
government and practically domin-
ated the business affairs of the
church.
The church reafiirmed It's position
that divorce should be granted only
upon biblical grounds. The assemb-
ly approved the efforts of the inter
national conference in influencing
public opinion to overcome the evils
that threaten the sanctity OF the mar
riage relation and the integrity Of
the family.
The assembly voted to appropriate
S36 900 to continue the work of tenn
perance committees and adopted q
resolution declaring no revenues de-
rived from the liquor business should
be used for popular government anC
calling on congress to protect
states that had abolished the tyaiEc

stiffness, and other data obtained by
these tests will make possible a direct
comparison of the merits of the wood
as regards its species and locality Of
growth.
A pinch in the hickory supply has
been felt for several years and it is al
ready seen that the growing of hickory
must be encouraged either by natural
growth or artificial planting, II the per-
manence of number Of industries is
to insure. The Importance in this
first series of tests by the United
States Forest Service lies in the fact
that they will determine just what
species of hickory are strongest, and
will give much valuable information
to owners Of farm woodlots and others
who plant trees for profit. Not until
1t is accurately determined just what
species produce the strongest timber
will 1t be possible to know just what
