SENTIMENT OF SENATE
OPPOSES FREE LUMBER

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Among
the questions that Will be voted upon
early next week in the senate will be
that of putting lumber on the free
list. 1t was stated upon high authority
tonight that a poll Of the senate shows
overwhelming sentiment against such
action.
The Pacific coast senators contend
that the house duty on rough lumber is
too low, and they are supporting the
retention of the present rate of 50 a
1000 feet, An effort is being made
to compromise on $50 per 1000 feet
for rough lumber and a small differ
ential on dressed lumber On the lat
ter, 50 per 1000 feet has been sug-
gested
1t is expected that after the vote
has been taken on the question of put
ting lumber on the free list no further
action viii be taken until the commit.
tee has again considered the subject,
with n view 10 harmoniZing the diff
fercnces between the free lumber advo.
Gates and those who are demanding
protection.

LESS DIGNITY AND
MORE DEMOCRACY
John Converse, Leading Presby-
terian Layman, Strikes a
Ringing Keynote.
CRITICISES CHURCH AS
CONTENT TO REST IN STATE
Other Notable Features Mark
Saturday Session of General
Assembly in Denver.

DENVER, May 22.-Less "statcly
treading" and more democracy; less
lounging in the luxury of the church
waiting for the sinner to approach and
more evangelism among the lowly were
the kcynotes sounded at today's ses-
sions Of the general assembly of the
Presbyterian church.
The lead in advocacy OF this doctrine
was taken by John Converse, president
of the Baldwin locomotive works of
Philadelphia, who in presenting his re-
port us chairman OF the committee on
ovangelistic work said that the church
had been content to rest IN state,
awaiting the approach Of the seeker for
solace.
There were other features Of the as
sembly today which made it note
worthy One was the gathering of the
"Blue and Gray" veterans. This lit
tie gathering Of grizzled warriors was
addressed by DR.. Barkley, the modcr-
ator-elect, who is former confederate
veteran. Old times were revived and
new comradeship vowed under both
the banner OF church and state.

church. and huge parade of Sunday
school children in the afternoon.

ing figure in the assembly.
"There was time when we of the
Presbyterian church considered 1t be,
meath our dignity TO preach the gospel
except from the most luxurious
churches said Mr.. Converse, "but
that time has passed. 1t is time now
TO 90 TO the sinner and not ask the
sinner to come to us.
Work of Revivalists.
This doctrine Mr.. Converse offered
with his presentation of the report OF
the committee on evangehstic work, OF
which he is chairman. AS proof of the
value of evangelistic work done by the
Presbyterian church, he gave facts
connected with the campaign of Dr. j.
Wilbur Chapman, the reyivalist, who
is now conducting meetings in Aus
tralia, it is said, backed financially by
Mr.. Converse. The latter was accorded
an ovation as he took the platform. and
was given vote of thanks for his ac-
tivity in evangelistic work.
The report of the committee on min
istcrial relief also was presented.
This urged upon each congregation
the work of contributing generously to
the fund to be used in aid of super
animated clergymen whose salaries
have not been sufficient to enable them
to lay aside competence.
The report of the Presbyterian
brotherhood also was presented This
was done by Charles S. Holt Of Chi
cago, the president of the organization.
The report asked that the assembly lend
