TO assert the deity OF Christ and materi.
ally to modify their opinions In regard
TO the miracles. the resurrection and the
historical account Of the divine birth OF
Christ.
The point that seemed to cause the most
trouble yesterday was the Biblical &C.
count Of the creation OF the world and the
fall Of man. They accepted the Bible as
their only infallible rule Of faith and
practice but they didn't accept the story
OF Adam and Eve historically.
DR.. Buchanan wanted TO know OF Mr..
Black II he didn't believe that the fall
OF man had been caused by eating the for
hidden fruit. Student Black had doubts
on this. although he didn't deny the truth
that the sllegory conveyed. All the
candidates said that they believed Christ
had risen from the dead In the body, but
they weren't prepared 10 say that It was
the same body He had before being buried.
While they admitted the divinity Of
Christ they acknowledged that 1t was
hard for them to conceive Of the birth
of Christ a. described In the Bible.
The vote In Blacks case was 80 to 50,

many Of the ministers having left.
Some Of thoee who came out early
showed dissatisfaction with the way the
examination va being conducted. Said
one. apparently a conservative:
Its the most ~disgraceful thing I w
saw. The Union professors are sitting
up there nodding their heads to the stu.
dents whether to answe yes or no."
Another found fault with the hard
questions that were being put to the
candidates by the conservatives.
Its as bad as any third degree In a
police station" was the way he put 1t.
1T seems to be q struggle between the
historical and hysterical schools said
another minister who left the room.
The Rev. DR.. Lee w. Beattie OF the
Madison Square Church House. con-
nected with DR.. P%arkhurst's church,
thought that there weren't Ave ministers
in the meeting who believed the story OF
Adam and Eve as historical fsot.
AT least / hope not said he. He
thought that the story OF Adam and Eve
might be a prose poem like the Book Of
Job.
as Jonah and the whale also q poem2'
asked an inquisitive reporter.
NO. said DR.. Beattie, Il would say
it was an allegory.'
Fitch. one Of the three licensed stu
dents, will leave to-day for China. where
he will be a missionary. The other two
students have not accepted charges
yet. although both have received offers.

At to-day's meeting Of the Aldermen
the Committee on Laws and Legislation

It will recommend for taxi coaches

cents for each quarter mile thereafter.
For taxioabs which seat two the charge
Is 80 cents and 10 cents. The committee
gave a public hearing yesterday and
representatives Of the companies in
sisted that they could not make money
unless they were allowed to charge at
least 80 cents for the first half mile.
Those who opposed this contention
asked the committee to send some Of
it's members to Europe to look owe the

ion Of the committee that there might
be difficulty in getting the city to appro-
pirate money for so delightful an expendi-
