Atlanta, Ga, May 15.-Possibility
of an organic union of all the branches
of the Presbyterian church in Ameri
ca was voiced here today in the SER
mon of retiring moderator, Dr. Mark
A. Matthews, of Seattle, Wash, at the
opening session of the Northern Pres
byterian assembly. This declaration
was greeted with applause and cheers
by more than eight hundred commits
sloners, representing the membership
tending the 125th annual assembly of
that body.
Memorials protesting against any
definite action looking to a union at
the present time with any other Pres
byterian organiza ton were read at to-
days session of the United Presbyte-
rian assembly. These protests were
submitted to the committee appointed
at the last assembly, and will be en-
bodied in their report, which probably
will be submitted Friday. No refer
ence of the question of amalgamation
with other orga nizations was made in

In his sermon before the Northern

declared that organic union of all the

would be the product of conviction if

Indications of a probable threshing
out of the differences between the
Union theological seminary in New
York and the Northern Presbyterian n
church were noted today in the pres
ence of the assembly of President
Brown, of the Union seminary, and
members of the board of directors
The controversy between the church
and the seminary dates back to 1892,
when Charles A. Briggs. of New York,
q professor in the seminary was sus-
pended from his ministerial functions
in the assembly.
Probably opposition to an amicab1e
settlement of this controversy was
evidenced by the applause which
greeted DIR. Matthews declaration that
candidates for the ministry should be
rejected not only because they doubt
the Deity of Christ. but because their
denial is prima facie evidence that
they have never been regenerated He |
added that no unregenerated man
should be permitted to preach.
This was considered by many as an
attack upon alleged expression of |
doubt credited to four graduates of the |
Union seminary as TO the version of
be birth of Christ contained in the |
3iple.

Tallahassee, May 15.-Judiciary COM
mittee B Of the senate this afternoon
voted in favor of the Lindsay bill di-
viding the state and creating West
Florida out OF the counties west OF the
Suwannee river. Five senators voted
for division, three not voting.
Senator Lindsay is lighting hard to
get the necessary three fifths vote in
both the senate and house, but finds
the timidity of some of the West Flor
ida representatives an obstacle.
Although a majority of the West
Florida people want a division, and
the same seems to be the case with
those of East and South Florida" said
Lindsay, some senators and repreSen-
tatives seem afraid to turn loose. Ii
division don't win at this session the
wedge now being driven will result in
q victory two years hence.
RAILROAD LOBBYISTS BEATEN.
Despite the strenuous fight of Nor

ty-four to six a bill giving railroad
and traction company employees relief
from being forced to join the alleged
benefit associations and signing away
their rights in case of injury. Under
present conditions the men are abso-
lutely forced to join the associations
and sign agreements which would rob
Meath, and it was feared the lobbyists
would defeat the bill. Cone, Stokes
and Zim led the fight for the labor
men.
