SUIT SETTLED
MISSOURI CASE BROUGHT BY CUMBER.
LAND PRIsDYTERIANs, FOLLOWING
MERGER IN 1906, DECIDED IN FAVOR
or THE UNITED CHURCH.

/ Kansas City, Aug. 16.--The union o
the Presbyterian church in the United
States of America and the Cumber
land Presbyterian churches effected
in 1906, was upheld by Judge A. S
Van Valkenburg. in the United States
court here today. Members Of the
Cumberland church were forever en-
! joined from interfering with the use
by the United Church Of church prop
erty in Missouri.
Title to all property of the church
in Missouri is quieted in the Presby-
terian church in the United States of
America under the decision. The
property involved amounts to ap.
proximately s1,500,000.
Two suits were brought in the fed
eral court here by the United church
in the fall of 1909. One was a general
bill to quiet title to church property
and to enjoin the Cumberland men,
bers from interfering with the United
church The second was to enioin
the Cumberlands from interfering
with the Missouri Valley college at
Marshall Mo.
The controversy followed the union
in 1906 of the Presbyterian church in
the United States and the Cumberland
church. A strong min.
ority of the Cumberland members op-
posed the union and declared the
church nrODnrtinS should cfi1l ho DO
voted to the use of those who claimed
to be the legitimate representatives
of the Cumberland church
Similar suits to those involved in
today's decision have been heard In
the highest courts of the twelve states.
In ten of these courts the United
Church has been upheld.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF
WEALTHY LUMbERMAN
JOHN M'ALPINE OF DULUTH FOUND DEAD
IN BASEMENT OF HOME-N0 CLUE TO
Perpetrators OF DEED WAS..HEAvIlY
INSURED.

Duluth, Mimi, Aug. 16.-Every ef
! fort is being made by the police to un
ravel the mystery of the death yester-
day OF John McAlpine, the wealthy
lumberman, who was found shot to
death in the basement of his home in
the fashinable east-end district.
The police are trying to determine
whether murder was committed. The
wound in McAplines head is about an
lack. 1t is not such a wound as
would ordinarily be caused in suicide,
declare the police, and the lack Of
powder marks indicates that the shot
was not fired from point close to the
head.
The developments in the investiga-
ton thus far have not supported the
theory of suicide, according to the po-
lice. They can find no motive for self
destruction in McAlpine's business af-
fairs, his condition of health or his
state of mind.
The authorities declare they are at
sea because they did not learn that a
shooting had occurred until the body
had been removed from the base.
ment of the house.
The pistol .45-calibre automatic,
was found under the basement steps,
according tn tha no1ice
On determination of the question OF
suicide will rest the payment of $140,-
600 in accident money held by Mr.. Nc
Alpine. Policies amounting to $65, 900
are straight life policies and are not
cpntestable.

The proposed duty of one-tenth of
