THE paEssyrea,ANs
Condemn Tobacco But Allow Judges
To Issue Liquor Licenses.

Denver, Col, May 27.-Clergymen and
laymen should not use tobacco. but 1t is
not contrary to the principles of the
church for Presbyterian judges to grant
saloon licenses. This was the decision
Of the General Assembly of the Presby-
terian church today.
The Assembly expressed itself thus in
approving the report of the temperance
committee. The report commended Pres
| ident Taft. Emperor William and former
President Eliot of Harvard for being tee
| totalers and urged the ministers of the
church to petition Congress to stop the
| interstate shipments of liquor. to discon-
tinue the issue of internal revenue re-
ceipts in prohibition territory, and to
prohibit the use of the mails for the dis
tribution of liquor advertisements.
California delegate introduced res
olution declaring that ministers should
not use tobacco A layman arose and
declared the resolution should include
laymen This was done and the resolu-
| ton was adopted amid cheering.
| A commissioner then urged the adoption
of resolution that Presbyterian judges
| should refuse to grant liquor licenses.
even though it be their duty under the
| law. Several speakers at once opposed
| tfis with the argument that judge
| should not be criticized for his actiops
! under the law but the speaker demanded
| that judges. when confronted with such
a situation resign from the bench rather
than grant the license Commissioners
| from Pennsylvania said that it was the
| legal duty of their district judges to is
sue such licenses and opposed the res
olution.
God grant that our Judges do not re-
sign upon such an occasion" said one
| commissioner "for such action WOULD
only pave the way for worse ones" The
| resolution WAS defeated
The matter of modern theology came
up in the report of the committee on
! theological seminaries The recommend
alton said that while there was de-
mand for advanced teaching the dec
trines of the church are sufficient to
meet modern conditions. Instructors
we're criticized because of their alleged
failure to apply the Presbyterian doc
TRIES to the best advantage. The report
of the committee on church erection was
adopted except for resolution recon-
mending mutual insurance organization
for the protection of church property.
A huge public gathering was held to-
night at which Gov John F. Snafroth
made an address of welcome on behalf
Of the state. and Mayor Spear in behalf
Of the city
President Taft. Emperor William and
President Eliot of Harvard University
were placed on dry" pedestals by the

ST Johns. N. f., May 27-With her

Passengers On board the steamer

to the one which surrounded the

In addition to the Rratsberg. the

RATS AND MATCHES
Thought to Have Caused Fire on the
Maine Schooner Aetna.

Jamestown. r l.. May 27.-Rats
gnawing matches probably caused the
fire mich burned the after part of the
schooner Aetna and damaged part OF
her cargo yesterday. This is the belief
of Capt Chapman of the Aetna and is
apparently borne out by several cir
cunstances.
When the cargo of lumber was being
slowed at Georgetown, S. c., one of the
hands dropped dozen matches in the
after part of the schooner. The fire
started in this place. When the James
town tiremen threw a hawser to the
schooner yesterday, five rodents quick
~ crdWlnd over the rope to shore. 1t
is known that a number of rats invad-
ed the schooner while she was lying at
anchor at Georgetown.
The Aetna today was resting easily
ON the bottom near the West ferry
here. She is not leaking, though the
after part is badly damaged and it is
feared that portion of the cargo of
cypress logs may be unmarketablel
The tug solicitor. which yesterday aid
ed in controlling the fire, is to pump the
Aetna ont tomorrow. Following this
the owners will come here and decide
upon repairs.
