ANNUAL CONGRESS.
Movement Is Put on Foot By Southern
Presbyterian Assembly.

In the closing hour Of the Southern
Presbyterian assembly of 1918, which
came to an end Thursday afternoon at
the North Avenue church, Atlanta,
a plan was born that points toward
the eventual consolidation of all the
Presbyterian churches of America in
Greater Presbyterian Congress-
formed directly on the plan of the
congress of the United States, with a
senate and house of representatives
supreme in authority over all Presby
terrain affairs in the country.
The plan made its appearance IN
the report of the select committee
on closer relations with other ecce-
siastical bodies submitted to the as
Sembly by DR.. R. F. Campbell, of
Asheville, N. c., chairman of the COM
mittee. Because of the approaching
adjournment that faced the assembly,
it was impossible to discuss the plan
at length, although a number wanted
to precipitate the question of church
union at once, regardless of adjourn
ment By its previous decision to
postpone action till next year on the
proposed union with the U. P. church,
however, the assembly had set itself
on record as favoring slow and care
full consideration of the question of
union, and DR.. Campbell's report was
accordingly referred to the committee
considering the U. P. utilization, for a
detailed report at the assembly of
1914 in Kansas City.

HUNDREDS WERE INJURED
Terrible Catastrophe Occurs During
Celebration of British Empire Day
At Long Beach, Cal.

Too weak to uphold the burden of
nearly 10000 human beings assembled
for the festivities of British Empire
day" the land end of the big double
decked municipal pier in front of the
city auditorium collapsed at Long
Beach, Cal. Hundreds of persons on
the top deck were plunged down on
the heads of other hundreds crowded
on the second deck. The lower deck
then gave way, and all were dropped
down a chute of shattered woodwork
to the tide-washed sands rs feet be-
low.
Thirty-three persons, mostly wom-
en-, were killed by the shivered tim
bers or crushed to death by the fall
ing bodies of companions and friends.
Fifty more were seriously injured,
while hysteria and fright caused the
disabling of scores of others.
A section of the auditorium, which
went down in the crash, and the de-
bris from it was added to the wreck
that fell on top of the injured and
dead.
The victims we're subjects, or for
mer subjects, of Great Britain, resi-
dent in Southern California.
