CHURCHMEN
CANNOT Yet
FULLY i AGREE

Atlanta. May 19.-The commission
ers to all the assemblies of the big
branches of Presbyterianism resumed
work with indications that the pres
ent weeks labor will develop some Of
the most important actions yet taken
in regard to committee reports and
settlement Of many questions brought
UP in the overtures from their coun-
wide constituency.
(. In the northern assembly the pro-
ceedings were featured by majority
and minority committee reports Of the
committee appointed to consider the
differences between the church and the
Union Theological seminary Of New
York. 'r'.
Since all relations between the
church and the seminary are broken
because of the alleged heretical beliefs
of members Of the seninarys facul-
ty, it had been expected that an amici-
able settlement might be arranged, and
to this view the majority committee
agreed in asking another years time.
Because of the two minority reports,
the task is regarded as hopeless.
One of the minority reports said the
members Of the seminary faculty fail
ed to answer important questions re-.
garding belief and the answers they
had given indicated they had no fight
to be regarded as Presbyterians.

IMPERIAL
POT'E|..NAT|'|| I /.
IS COMING
Past Imperial Potentate Treat
Secured Pledge
Many Other Big Features for
Home coming Week
High Digaitaries Will Be Here
to Assist

The Masons of North Dakota will be
interested in the fact that j. F. Treat,
the past imperial potentate, secured a.
pledge from Imperial Potentate Irwin
of Wheeling, w. Va, who was selected
to this position last week at Dallas,
that he would be in Fargo for the
Masonic homecoming week, and he
will be accompanied by quite a. num-
Der Of other members of the official
dfvan.! In addition to- those, a large
number of Arab patrols from all over
the northwest viii be present during
the latter part of theeWeek.
Charles E. Rosenbaurn .-of Little
Rock, Ark, the grand chancellor Of the
supreme council for the Southern juris-
diction of the United States, will be
present, as the official representative
of the grand commander, who is not
able to be here on this occasion. MIR.
Rosenbaum has visited Fargo several
times, and is greatly beloved by those
who had the pleasure Of meeting him,
He will be accompanied by his wife
and they will spend the entire week
here.
Hon. George F. Moore, the lieutenant
grand commander of the supreme
council, has also promised to be in
Fargo for the week mentioned and will
undoubtedly be the principal speaker
va w SNStlllIGI uIG II ~HGlL
the thirtieth anniversary of the 'estab-
lishment Of the Scottish Rite bodies
in this city will be celebrated Judge
Moore is the editor of The New Age
and one Of the brightest Masonic schol-
ars in the country. and there is no
question but what his address on this
occasion will be a classic.
1t is also probable that Hon. Alphon-
SO G. Stewart of st. Louis, the grand
herald of the supreme council, will also
be present, and he is a gentleman of
very high standing. OF course every
one in this state knows Hon. Edward
Z. Taubman of Aberdeen, who is the
grand standard bearer of the supreme
council, and will be glad to know that
he will also arrive here on Monday
night, June 2.
These are only a few of the distin-
guished visitors who have already
promised to be here. and in this con-
nection ii may be Fof interest to the
readers Of The Forum to quote para :
graph from a letter written by John
H. Cowles, thirty third degree, and
secretary general Of the supreme coun-
Gil:
"I saw one of the announcements of
your Masonic homecoming week to be
held June l to June Z while was at
Wichita, Kan, the other day. 1t is a
clever idea and no doubt will be a most
delightful and beneficial week. I wish
I could be with you. do not know of
having seen anything for quite a while
that appealed to me more than this
conception of real Masonic work.

OAK GROVE nov
BEAUTIFUL SPOT

Those who have not visited Oak
Grove park for the past three or four
years would hardly recognize this
beauty spot in the northern part OF
the city. For two years the park has
been given a great deal of attention
from the park commission and this
season at the opening 1t will show a
great deal of Improvement.
Gabe Grant. former chief Of police
who has been appointed park police
man has done a great deal of work
during the past winter in the way of
making ornamental benches, rustic
bridges. and has been making i'm
provements. The seats, swings, lad,
ders and bridges have ali been made
of trees that have been taken out from
the grove for various purposes and
all of these have been vanished for
the purpose of preservation and they
have been located in places where they
attract the most attention.
All through the grove the UNDER
brush has been cleared away and signs
have been placed at the different roads
asking all to take to the right, SO as
to avoid accidents. The roadWays are
all kept in good condition, the dirt
being kept packed and during or right
after a rain vehicles are kept outside,
I so that the roads may not be cut up.
Vines that reach from the ground to
the tallest trees have been cultivated
and every attraction for cleanliness
has been given. All of the dead tim,
Der has been removed and cut UP into
fire wood and a fine baseball ground
has been laid off and each day in the
week the boys and men occupy the
same. Yesterday both morning and
afternoon these grounds We're occupied
and the games were watched by large
companies.
The driveway which extends from
Seventh avenue through into the park
and then out again to the place of
starting is one of the most delight.
full about the entire city. AS soon as
the driveway on Island park has been
opened clear through 1t will be a most
Pleasant one. Yesterday afternoon al
though the day was somewhat cool
there were large numbers making the
rounds in automobiles and in vehicles
of various kinds.
Those who were there were much
pleased at what the park commission.
has already done in beautifying the
northern park, and it lis stated by
above5is only a commencement OF
what Will be done as the years roll
around.
A needed Improvement is the ex 4
tension of the street car line to the
|entrance to the park There has been
great deal OF comment on the need
for a line to the park entrance. At
the present time the long walk keeps
man from visiting this beauty spot.

Washington, May 19.-The move
mente in California TO submit the an
ti-alien act to referendum is under
stood to be viewed by the administra-
ton as affording further opportunity
for the diplomatic adjustment of the

1T has been assumed that because of
the apparently overwhelming senti-
nlent in California in favor of Japan
ese expulsion from land owning there
1t might be difficult in securing the

the referendums
Now, however, the exclusiontst eie-

judgment.
