minority reports were presented to-day
to the ifty-second session OF the general
assembly Of the Presbyterian Church

opening for revision the clause in the
confession OF faith regarding marriage
and divorce Although the minority re-
tort, read by DR.. r. A. Webb. OF Louis

members OF the ad interim committee,
which met at Montreal. N. c., and con-
sldered the whole matter, the report
signed by DR.. William z. BogEs, OF At
lanta, chairman OF the committee, is
designated as the majority report.
The minority report recommends to
the assembly that II answer the over
lures from Presbyteries asking q re-
vision Of the marriage and divorce
clause OF the confession IN the negative

hctently accurate and a full exposition
OF the Biblical doctrine on the subject"
This clause recognizes only Biblical
grounds OF divorce, adhering strictly to
the Bible
The majority report says: We sug-
gest TO the assembly that IN view OF
the difference OF opinion REGARDING the
nate matters. wherever II would not ne
well for II to overture the presbyteries
to consider whether our confessions need
any revisions on this subject"

further Monday. but It is said that it
Is overwhelmingly against a more lib
eral construction OF the Bible on the sub
ject OF marriage and divorce. This re-
port and reports against the applica-
ton of the recall to church oficers
were among the important matters be-
fore the assembly to-day.
An ad interim committee reported rec
ommendtng change in the fundamental
law OF the church, so as to yield a
fairer basis Of representation in the
general assembly, by allowing two COM
missioners for each 400 communicates.
Reports were made against permitting
polygamous persons to enter the church
In America or in the foreign fields, IN
til they have ceased polygamous rela-
tons and arranged to care for the wives

working day away, the situation tonight
appears 50 full OF confusion that nobody
can safely forecast the result OF next

gers Of all candidates are claiming
everything. Chairman Laylin, OF the
State Central Committee. issued the fol-
lowing statement:
"The President will carry every dis
trict When the Chicago convention
opens Taft's home State will present q
solid delegation for him."
The Presidents most ardent support
ers, however, do not take Mr.. Laylin seri-
ously. They admit that IL the President
carries fourteen of the twenty-one dis
tricts and controls the State convention
he will be doing well. They seem to think
that he Is reasonably certain Of twelve
districts, and this because they think
his chances nave improved during the
week.

Col. Roosevelfs managers are just as
optimistic as Mr.. Laylin. Senator Dixon
predicted tonight that Roosevelt would
sweep Ohio, but he WIS careful TO ex-
plain that the colonri was able TO win
the nomination with Ohio left out. The
claims of State Manager Brown. who is
recognized as conservative to a degree
are that Roosevelt viii have fifteen dis
tricts out OF the twenty. Another state
ment from the Roosevelt headquarters
claims nineteen districts. the exceptions
being the two districts in Hamilton

This question is soon to be decided
by the Supreme court Of Middlesex
county, sitting at East Cambridge,
Mass, just over the Charles river from
Boston. and on h decision hangs the
disposition Of a $500, 600 bequest by
the elder Russell.
1t is an interesting story. How in
1885 Daniel Blake Russell, son Of
Daniel Russell, ST.. ran away from
home and went West. He had had
trouble with his father, and on leav-
Ing Melrose he dropped strangely out
Of sight.
The years rolled by. The elder Rus

fortune, and when early in 1907 he
Iassed away he left behind him a mil
lion dollars. He had not forgotten
Danny, for in his will drawn in 1897,
was found this passage:
my Sol Daniel Blake Russell, left
home some twelve years since and
it he should return and prove his
identity within twenty years after my
decease it is my earnest wish, re-
quest and hope that my son William
share with Daniel equally and justly
whatever of my estate he may hold
at the time Daniel returns"
William, it should be explained, was
the only child the elder Russell had
besides Dan.
William was named as executor and
Ferdinand b. Almy, a cousin, was to
act with him.. The will was filed
in due course. Apparently William
was to get the entire estate. Then
appeared on the scene Dakota Dam
