COURTS FLAYED BY ASSEMBLY
Presbyterian Church Criticises Deci-
sion Annulling Union of Branches.
PASSED ON CHURCH DOCTRINE
Basis of Discussion il a Report on
Tennessee Decision Knocking Out
Merger with Cumberland
Branch of the Church.
From the Washington Evening Star

DENVER, Colo, Nav 2S-The church
locked horns with the state this morning
when the general assembly of the Presby-
terfon church in effect condemned the ac-
tion OF the state courts of Tennessee in
setting aside the union of the Presbyterian
church in the United States of America
with the Cumberland Presbyterian church
The assembly's criticism of the courts
which was unsparing, was based on the
report of the committee on church CO.
operation, which report was written by
William Henry Roberts, d. D., LII. D., the
stated clerk of the assembly, chairman of
the committee and for more than twenty
five years regarded as the law giver of the
assembly. It set out in effect that of the
three established doctrines with respect TO
the relation of church and state, they be-
ing the Roman Catholic, wherein the
church is superior to state; the theory
recognized in England and some parts of
the United States that the state is superior
to the church, and the Calvinistic wherein
church and state possess distinct jurisdic-
tons the latter is the preferable view and
will be held to in the Presbyterian church.
The report rebukes the Tennessee courts
for presuming to pass judgment upon mat
ters of church doctrine. 1t recognizes the
right of courts TO pass upon disputes con-
cerning property, but where a religious be-
lief Is concerned the report contended that
this shall be adjudicated in the church
councils The assembly also reaffirmed the
recommendations of the assembly of 1896
at which the union of churches was ef-
fected The report of the committee was
based on the local action begun by anti
consolidation members Of the Cumberland
church wherein they were supported by the
Tennessee courts and given possession OF
a number OF valuable churches which 9TH
erwise would heve become the property of
the United church. 1t was the contention
in these suits that the union forced mem
bers of the Cumberland church to recog-
nize doctrines different from the one to
which they had originally subscribed.

ATLANTA. Ga. May 29-Carrying a
negro fireman, the first train of any sort
to run over the Georgia railroad for more
than five days. an engine and mail car,
left here at 1880 this morning. The train
pulled out through deep lane of specta-
tors at the station, but there was no dem
onstration. The negro fireman on the At
lanta train bore a name distinguished in
Georgia, Joseph NJ. Brown, which is iden-
tical with that OF the governor-elect who
will take office in a few weeks. The sub
ject of keen scrutiny. the fireman kept his
eyes on the work and smiled good
naturedly. A few comments were over
heard from the crowd that he was running
a risk.
The engineers upon all trains today were
the regular men who stopped work last
Saturday. They returned to work with the
assurance from Assistant Chief Burgess
Of the Order OF Locomotive Engineers that
they would be protected. The mail car
was combination half mail and half bag
gage, but the baggage department was
heaped with mail sacks.
The train made only a little more than
seven miles in its first hours run, owing
TO a stop at Decatur, the first town east
OF Atlanta, where newspaper men, who had
started TO make the trip in the baggage
car, were put off. There was long con-
ference with officials of the road over
their presence, and II was finally decided
that they were passengers and that the
road had no right to carry passengers
Exactly by what means the state would
interfere was not stated, but a receivership
was hinted at. This solution was given
color both by the fact that the state is
stockholder in the railroad and by a dis
patch from Social Circle Ga, that the peo-
pie there intended to demand a receivership
by the state on the ground of public con
venience, provided rio relief from the tleup
OF freight and passenger service was OBJ
tained quickly. Other points sent urgent
messages to the governor demanding relief
and the continued reports of dissatisfaction
over the presence Of the negroes on the
mail trains forces a crisis.
Action Awaits Arbitration.
Any action by the state however, was
deferred awaiting the result of arbitration
negotiations.
There was no mistaking the depth and
the scope of the III feeling against the
negro firemen from one end to the other
Of the Georgia railroad today However
Ho eIloTls were spared 10 INA some means
of settling the strike without resort to the
use of guards, which was frankly recog-
nized as of extreme danger to the peace
of the community through which the road
runs.
The remark of one man to a correspond
ent who made part Of the trip with a mail
train today may be taken as Indicative of
the abnormal pressure just now existing in
the strike district. This is a white mans

RUSH TELLS OF HANDICAPS
Special Assistant Attorney General
Home from Tulsa.
oKLAHoMANs FIGHT FOR TIME
Land Fraud Defendants Had Idea
They Might Escape Through
Statute of Limitations, De-
clares Prosecutor.

Special Assistant Attorney General S. r.
Rush and Special Inspector E. B. Lennon
of the Interior department returned last
evening from Tulsa and Muskogee, Okl,
where they have been looking after the
governments interests in the Muskogee
land and lot frauds, which have just re-
suited in the re-indictment of Governor
Haskell and others.
Two indictments were returned" said
Mr.. Rush, ''one against the whole outfit
and another against several groups, the
names of the indicted parties having al
ready appeared in the press dispatches.
Only two United States attorneys were
employed in the case, District Attorney
Gregg and myself.
More evidence was presented before the
grand jury at this time than in the pre-
vious case, in which the indictments were
quashed because of the grand jury being
larger than the lawful number. The rea-
son for the discharge of the first grand
jury panel was that most of them had
been drawn from Muskogee county, where
many of the people were interested In the
civil suits growing out OF the alleged ille-
gal lot transactions. For this reason we
asked the panel be discharged and an
other drawn, which was more satisfactory
to the interests of the government.
attorney Mott, who has been frequently
referred to in the press dispatches, was
not associated with the government at
torneys, as he is the attorney for the
Greek nation, and is not a government
officer at all, and took no part in the
case.
Special Agent Army "a Myth.
Neither had the government an army
of special agents in the field to work up
evidence against the defendants There
were but five or six special agents there,
and they were wanted to look specifically
after the gentlemen who wanted to culti-
vate an acquaintance with the grand Jury.
IAN information or complaint was filed
against the editor OF the Tulsa Evening
Democrat for contempt OF court for his
persistent and villainous attempts TO in
fluence the grand jury. He has been cited
to show cause why he should not be com
mitted for contempt
II was even charged with being there
in the interest of Mr.. Hearst and we were
all accused of about every crime in the
calendar. Fortunately the indictments
filed against us by the outraged Okla
homans have only been filed with the at

GOOD, CHEAP
FRAME LUMBER
Cedar Trees Can BE Used An
Making Farm Buildings.

At the present time lumber is SO
high that it is out of the question for
the poor or common class of farmers
to build all the buildings they need,
and so they have to do without. OF
course, near the sawmill lumber is
always cheap, but for the benefit of
those that do not have these advan-
tages will tell how / framed several
buildings on our farm.
We got some straight cedar trees
and Strengthened them as follows:
Stills and plates on three sides, the
floor timbers on one side. When ready
to lay in place we hewed the top ends
all of thickness where they were to
rest on the sill, then hewed the butts,
which will be much larger, down to
the same thickness, but did not hew
any more than was necessary to get
the ends all of thickness, and the
tops will be as level as any joist II
any one is little lower than the rest
just put single under the ends. The
posts we hewed on two sides just to
get one square corner. The studding
and rafters we hewed on one side Just
enough to get a straight line to nail
to. We peeled all the bark OF as
frame Is then much lighter and looks
far better, We halyed the frame to-
gether. which saves lots Of time, and
Is just a. strong.
