BODY RECOVERED
IN STRANGE WAY

Columbus. Ca, May 17.-(Special.) >
The body of Brady Grooms, a young
man who was drowned yesterday while
bathing in the Chattahoochee river,
has been recovered in rather remark
able manner.
After the divers had searched in
vain the father was told that if he
would toss one of his sons garments
in the stream II would sink immediate
ly over the spot where the body lay.
The experiment was tried with his
shirt, which drifted down the river for
some distance, close to the bank, and
then turned and went a short distance
out in the stream. Arriving at a
certain point the shirt circled around
several times and then sank. A diver
followed it and found Groom's body
with the shirt clinging closely to his
legs.

IN
GENERAL MEETING
Faction Against Church Union
Meets In BentonviIle
SESSION OF SIX BAYS
Controversy Which Has Rent the Cum
berland Church Will Be Principal
Topic of Discussion In First
Meetings.
SESSION OF SIX BAYS

Bentonville, Ark, May 17.-During the
present week men prominent in Presby-
terrain affairs will gather at Bentonville
from many sections of the United States
to have a part in the third general as
sembly of the Cumberland Presbyterian
church, that faction which refused to
enter into the amalgamation of the Cum
berland church with the Presbyterian
church of the United States, more pop
ularly known as the Church of the North,
which was brought about three years
ago. While the Cumberland church is
strongest in the central south and south
west, and from these states the greatest
number of delegates will come, Indiana,
Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania and the west
ern states as far as California, will send
representatives. The initial session will
be on Thursday, the meeting to extend
over six days. The Denominational La
dies Missionary society," an auxiliary or
ganization, will be In session at the same
time.
1t is planned to bring matters of vital
import to the church before the assem-
bly,. The principal theme, however will
be the controversy between the Cumber-
union as to property rights of the diff
fering organizations, a controversy which
is now having its day in court in several
states. While it is possible that an eff
fort may be made to arrange a compro-
mise this is hardly probable 1t Is more
likely that plans will be laid for a con-
finuation of the contest now, more vigor-
ously than ever.
In the supreme court of Tennessee the
faction which retained the old name has
been victorious. It was held by the court
that the church named still remains an
Independent organization, of which only
a portion has dissolved their connec-
ton and identified themselves with other
ecclesiastical organizations, and, by leav-
ing the older church the dissidents volun-
tarily relinquished their ownership of or
control over the property of the church.
The court denied the right of a ma
1ority to take any action which might
deprive the minority Of their right of
ownership and control and held that
should a majority abandon and separate
themselves from an organization holding
title to certain property they cannot carry
that title with them; it remains vested
in the organization to which it belongs
so long as any of Its members remain.
The case at issue came from Fayetteville,
Tenn. The unionists won their point in
the lower court but the supreme court
reversed that decision on the appeal of
the non-unionists.
In Texas, Georgia, Kentucky and Illi-
nois the highest courts have taken an
opposite view deciding in favor of those
who Joined the union and holding that
the amalgamation with the Northern
Presbyterian was final and constitutional
and that the property should go with the
congregations
AS now constituted the Cumberland
church is composed of approximately 1885,
900 communicates. To represent this num-
Der about $50 delegates will be in attend
ance at the assembly.
