stood near the side of the deserted

Paris, May 27.-The decision Of the

by him for the custody of his cnil-

partial victory for the count. 1t
confirms the decision of the lower
court, giving the mother the custody
or the children, but it sets forth that
the father alone had the right to
choose their instructors and designate
the college in which they were to be
educated. Furthermore Prince Helie
de Sagan Is excluded from the list of
persons authorized to visit the chill
drcn and the counts contention that
the influence of the prince is perni-
clous is thus in effect sustained The
costs OF the appeal are divided If the
parents cannot agree on a school for
the two boys within a fortnight they
are to be sent to the Lycee of ,Janson.
where only the mother, the grand
mother and George Gould may visit

PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY GOES
ON RECORD AGAINST USE
OF THE "WEED."
RESOLUTION IS ADOPTED
notwithstanding Opposition to snook-

or Laymen, Convention Says 1t Is
All Right for a Presbyterian Judge
to Grant Saloon Licenses.

Denver, May 27.--That clergymen
that it is not customary to the princi-
pies OF the church for Presbyterian
Judges to grant saloon licenses, and
that it is not contrary to the princi-
laymen shall inquire into method to
be pursued in seminaries in teaching
.modern theology" were the princi-
pal matters approved by the general
assembly of the Presbyterian church
today. The clause regarding tobacco
came in the consideration of the re-
port of the temperance committee.
Discussion of this report dragged
through the morning session into the
afternoon. The report commended
President Taft Emperor William and
President Eliot of Harvard university
Tor being teetotalers, and urged the
ministers Of the church to petition
congress to stop Interstate shipments
of liquor, to discontinue the issuance
of internal revenue receipts in pro-
hibition territory, and to prohibit the
use OF the mails for tho distribution
of liquor advertising or liquor
The Rev. Ellsworth l.. Rich of
Watsonville, Cal, introduced resolu-
tion providing. that ministers should
not use tobacco. A layman, in at
tacking the resolution, dared Mi
Rich to include in his resolution Law
men as we'll as ministers. Mr.. Rich
amended his resolution to include lay
men, and after some debate the reso-
luton was adopted amid cheering
The next trouble, over the temper-
ance report, arose when q commits
sioner urged the adoption Of a resolu-
ton that judges who are members
the church should refuse to grant IL
censes for saloons, even though it be
his legal duty to do so Several
speakers opposed this with the argu-
ment that q judge should not be crti-
cised for his actions under tho law.
God grant that our judges DO not
resign upon such an OCCASION" said
one commissioner, "for it will only
pave the way for worse ones'
Ihe matter OF modern theology
and courses of study to meet with
modern conditions" came up in the
report of the committee on theological
seminaries. The recommendation of
the committee said that While there
was demand for advanced teaching
1T was their bAlief that the doctrines
of the Presbyterian church arc suffi-
clent to meet modern conditions.
