BARKLEY IS CHOSEN
PRESBYTERIAN
MODERATOR
CLOSE CONTEST AT DENVER
RESULTS IN SELECTION OF
DETROIT PASTOR.

Denver, May 20.-Dr. James M. Bark
ley of Detroit, Mich, was elected mod
orator Of the general assembly of the
Presbyterian church date this after
noon, receiving 503 votes. as against
292 votes for DR.. Edgar r. Hill of Chi
cago. The election of DR.. Barkley,
which caine as a surprise, in view of
the great show of strength made be-
fore the election by DIR. William l..
McI1Wan of Pittsburg, and DR.. Hill,
was made unanimous and a burst of
cheering followed his appearance on
the rostrum of the church.
Three ballots We're taken to decide
the moderatorship and had it not been
for the withdrawal of DR.. McEwan
after the second ballot, there is no
doubt that a long drawn out contest
would have ensued.
The campaign was heated to the last
moment, when the withdrawal of DR.
McEwan clarified the atmosphere and
seemed to make it certain that DR.
Barl1ley would be successful. Last
night the, managers for the various
candidates held a caucus and DIR. Rob-
ert Mackenzie of New York announced
that he would withdraw his name and
that he would favor the candidacy of
DR.. Hill. His announcement was fol-
lowed by similar announcement from
DIR. Johnston Of Colorado Springs.
w Much Applause.
These two announcements seemed to-
give DR.. Hill the necessary votes to
elect With DR.. McEWan as his strong
est opponent However when the as
sembly was called to order and the
nominating speeches We're made, the
applause which followed each name
made the matter all the more problem
atical. Dr. Samuel ID. Mccormick,
chancellor of the University of Pitts
burg, in advocating the election of DR..
McEWan brought forth round after
round of applause. But the nominal
ing speech of the Rev. Joseph A. Vance
OF Chicago, presenting the name of DIR.
Hill, was SO feplete with humorous
thrusts based on the presumption of
PENNSYLVANIA in asking a moderator
every other year as to swing the tide
of cheering over to DR.. Hill The Rev.
John Mcdonnell of Newark, n. j., pre-
sented the name of Ds Barkley and
the nominations We're closed The first
ballot resulted in deadlock which
threatened to become permanent as
each candidate received less than 300
votes.' On the second ballot DIR. Nc
Evans strength fell away and it be-
came evident that the east as Well as
the far west was lending it's support
to the other two candidates. At this
time DIR. McEWan took the floor and
said that in the interests of harmony
and that the business of the assembly
might proceed, he would Withdraw
Barkley wins.
On the next ballot DR.. McEWan's
strength. went to DR.. Barkley and he
received far and above the necessary
number of votes to elect.
The election over, DR.. B. F. Fuller
ton. of st. Louis, inducted his successor
into office. DIR. BariSey made Il short
speech thanking the assembly and
promising his best efforts in doing his
duty to th2s church. -
The assembly began its sessions at
II O'Clock. in the morning when, after
the opening, musical and prayer serv-
ices, DR.. Fullerton made his annual ad-
dress as retiring moderator.

what President Butler has said as to
the emotional insanity of the present
mad race fer battleships in Great

the chief sinner in having started the
crazy competition in building Dread

Mr. Baker declared the peace of the
world today lies in the hands of the
United States, Germany and Great
Britain and that the United States can
join with Germany and England and
thus prevent possible warfare and stop
the Dreadnaught competition. He in-
vited President Taft to take the lead
in this direction,

Business men representing 5s cham

President Taft ito take the initiative
in leading the nations to concurrent

We believe the time has come in which
the nations should depend upon JUS

trust to arbitration rather than force.

Speaking tonight before the confer
ence, Kokoeichi Midzumo, Japanese
consul general at New York, said:
| We are confident of the sincerity
of American friendship that during the
last few years, when so many bitter
voices against Japan We're heard In
certain section Of this great republic,
the whole Japanese people remained
quiet and fully convinced of the fact
that the anti japanese movement did
not represent the true sentiment of the
American people at large.
Refers to Note.
Referring to the exchange Of notes
between Japan and the United States
on the common policy of the two coun-
tries i'll the Pacific and China, which
he said was one more tie of friend
ship. the consul general continued:
II rejoice with you that diplomatic
declaration was so heartily welcomed
by the people not only of both coun-
tries, but of the whole world as the
guarantee of peace,
But we must not forget that COM
merce and trade play a more import
ant part than the honeyed phraseology
of diplomacy in bringing together the
people of different countries.
THE International relations of to-
day no longer consist merely in the
exchange of the ENJOYS and dispatches,
but they are and must be based on
mutual understanding and Intercourse
between the peoples and upon the COM
mercial and industrial Independence
between the countries'
