COURTS REBUKED
 BY PRESBYTERIANS

Denver, Col, May 2s.-Relations of the Church with the State came up before the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church yesterday. That body took a stand directly in oppos1- ton to the attitude of the State courts of Tennessee in setting aside the union of the Presbyterian Church of the United States of America with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
 The Assembly adopted the report of the committee on Church Cooperation, which report was written by Dr. WH- liam Henry Roberts, the Stated Clerk of the Assembly, chairman of the com mittee, and for more than twenty-five years regarded as the lawgiver of the Assembly, It set out in effect that there were three established doctrines with respect to the relation of Church and State-the Roman Catholic, where in 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 jurisdictions The report held that was the prefer able view and would be held to in the Presbyterian Church.
 The report rebuked the Tennessee courts for presuming to pass Judg- ment upon matters of church doctrine It recognized the right of courts to pass upon disputes concerning prop erty, but where a religious belief was concerned it contended that this should be adjudicated in the church councils.
 The report was based on the legal action begun by anti-conSOlidation members of the Cumberland Church, wherein they were supported by the Tennessee courts. and got possession of a number of valuable churches which otherwise would have become the property of the united church. It was the contention in these suits that the union forced members of the Cum berland Church to recognize doctrine different from the one to which they had originally subscribed.
 The Assembly also reaffirmed the recommendation of the Assembly of 1906, at which the union of churches was effected.

UNIFORM BILLS OF LADING.

One of the most important features
of the present meeting of the Amer1-
can Bankers Association, sitting this
week in Chicago, is preliminary con-
ference looking to the establishment
of uniform bills CT lading by the rail-
roads, and it is Hoped that this much
needed reform will be established.
1t is pointed out that the failure of
the railroads to assume responsibility
for the bills Of lading they issue has
resulted in frauds and in the loss of
several millions of dollars annually
by the banks of the United States.
1t is further contended that unless
the alleged evils are remedied the
banks would refuse to issue bills of
lading as a basis of credit.
For a number CT years the banking
shipping and commercial interests of
the country have endeavored to secure
legislation which would safeguard the
bill of lading as a basis of credit, but
nothing has been accomplished. Sew
eral banks have already taken the
stand that they will not accept bills
of lading as a basis of credit, and the
fear that similar action might be ta-
ken by the banks generally has result
ed in concerted action being taken to
secure the adoption of uniform and
satisfactory laws that would settle the
controversy.
| The Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion has recommended the adoption
of measures advocated by the bank
ers, but has tax, n the position that
the commission itself could not re-
quire the railroads to adopt these
measures.
A bill covering bills of lading is
sued on interstate shipments is now
before Congress, and it is recalled
the recommendations made by the
American Bankers Association.
Even the Canadian railroads have
adopted the recommendations of the
Interstate Commerce Commission o.
this country, but the railroads of the
United States have not done so.
They show a disposition to meet the
wishes of the American bankers, anC
it is hoped that the present confer
ence will result in some definite
steps towards reform.
This conference will be followed b!
the regular meeting. of the American
Bankers Association which, among
other things, will discuss the subjec
of currency reform, which, it i
agreed, is one CT the most importan
questions to come before that body.
: The results of the meeting will b
watched with the keenest interest b
l the business world.
