PREsRYTERIANs ELECT.
General Assembly Already Organized
for Business at Denver.

TOT BUSINESS at O0nver.
Denver, May 21.-The general as
sembly of the Presbyterian church met
at 0 o'clock this morning, and before
adjournment at noon, the, organization
for actual business Of the church exc
cutive body was well under way. DR..
William Henry Roberts, of Philadel-
phia, was reelected stated clerk, and
Judge Charles S. Holt, of Chicago, was
appointed vice moderator. Various vot-
ing districts submitted their nominees
for standing committees.
The 400th anniversary of the birth
of John Calvin will be celebrated this
afternoon.
James M Barkiey, of Detroit, was
elected moderator of the Presbyterian
general assembly late yesterday, re-
ceiving SOB votes as against 292 votes
for DR.. Edgar P. Hill, Of Chicago.
The election of DR.. Barkley, which
came as a surprise in view of the great
show Of strength made before the cleo
ton by DR.. William l.. McEwan, of
Pittsburg, and DR.. Hill, was made
unanimous. Three ballots were taken.
ond, thus avoiding long, drawn out
contest.
The beginning Of what bids fair to
become one of the hot fights of the as
committee sembly, that OF the adoption
Of the report Of the executive commits
sion, took place this morning. The reg
ular report of the committee was sub
mitted and permission given for it's
consideration at later time. A few
minutes after the report had been sub
mitted DR.. Fullarton, the retiring mod
orator, who is ex-efficio chairman of
the executive committee, submitted a
report providing for the discharge of
the finance committee an dthe appor-
tionment OF the budget for the benevol-
ent and missionary boards. This re-
port coused several sharp encounters,
principally brought about by the OBJ
lection Of number of the commits :
sioners to the adoption Of the special
report before the regula report had
been acted upin Fullarton then receded
from his position and agreed to have
a printed report in the hands of the
assembly that 1T might be read by the
commissioners before it is made the
subject of debate. Thus further clashes
were avoided, but there is every in
dication there will be some sharp de-
bate when the two reports are brought
up for final consideration.
One of the interesting reports sub
mitted today was that Of the special
committee on marriage and divorce.
The committee. which asks permission
to further consider this subject for re-
port to the next assembly, calls at
tention to the alarming Increase in the
number of divorces granted, as shown
by the government census. "The CEN
sus," the report says. "tells a story
that surprises people and shames the
christian nation"

FREIGHT RATES ARE
RAISED ON MACHINES.
RALPH C. HAMLIN VOICES HIS
OPINION ON THE INCREASE
Means That $500 Will Be the Cost of
Shipping Touring Cars, and
No Recourse to the
Shipper

| Freight rates on automobiles raised
again, is the pleasant news conveyed
to the local dealers last week. And
naturally d roar followed. Just why
the railroads raised the rate is not
known, other than they must need the
money.
Ralph c. Hamlin, president of the
dealers ASSOCIATION, AoIceu his Opln-
ION that the raise IS an outrage.
THE rate on no Otner commodity is
as nigh as tnat on automobiles said
l1amlIn, yet without giving US d
warning or hearing Of any kind we
are notified that the rate j. raised 81
per hundred pounds. This IS no meas
ly raise of Il few cents, it is a raise
of $50 and more on single cars. As
the demand for motor cars has in
creased on the coast the transconti-
mental railroads have increased the
rate, despite the fact that this indus
try has made for them hundreds Of
thousands of dollars.
We have no recourse, the govern
ment seems to have no means of pro-
tecting US, and all we can do is to sit
back, take our medicine and add the
extra freight to the price Of the car.
AS result the public pays the rail-
road.
This raise is a direct slap at Cali
fornia from a tourist standpoint. The
former rate on single cars was Sc a
hundred pounds. Now it is 81. This
means that the large touring cars will
cost $500 to be shipped to California
and $500 for the trip back. There sure
ly is some limit to what the people
will stand.
Take ordinary merchandise which
| is shipped. 1t requires lots of freight
depot room. There is more or less tr0u-
bic in loading and unloading it and
the car Is in use for a considerable
length of time before it is released
How different with automobiles. They
are run on a few blocks nailed to the
floor and off they go. Not a particle
Of trouble to the railroad. The min
ute they reach their destination they
are filed with gasoline and rolled out
of the car and away to the garage.
No trouble, no fuss, no dirt. Yet with
out any apparent reason the rate is
raised and raised at a tremendous
clip 1t simply means 100000 out Of
the pockets Of the Los Angeles people
into the strong box Of the grasping
railroad trust. For truly it can be
called nothing less than trust when
we find that every road has adopted
the same schedule.
81 understand that this is not the
only raise which the roads have seen
fit to make on transcontinental ship
ments. Surely the people Of California
must look easy. And no relief in
sight"

ALL VERMONT SQUARE
LOTS WILL HAVE GAS
WITHIN SIXTY DAYS

The Southwest Land company,
owner of Vermont Square has made
arrangements with the Domestic Gas
company to pipe gas at every lot in
Vermont Square. Work will begin at
once. insuring gast to consumers with
in sixty days from date.
The Southwest Land company has
been peculiarly fortunate in securing
for its lot buyers the establishment of
public utilities, often in advance OF
the actual need. Thus when Vermont
Square was first placed on the market
the rival electric companies actually
fought for priority Of entrance into
the tract. Vermont avenue square
that part of the tract already sold out
made an equally euviable record in
securing public utilities essential to
modern home life.
