GEN. SMITHS CHANCE
FOR BOARD VAN|SHES
Senate Adjourns Executive Session
Without Motion to Reconsider
Rejection.

All chance of the confirmation of Gen.
Robert G. Smith as excise commissioner
of the District vanished today when the
Senate adjourned its executive session
without a motion to reconsider the vote
rejecting Gen. Smiths nomination hav-
ing been made or adopted.
The friends of Gen. Smith fought the
matter up to the end. using every par
liamentary device possible to bring
about a vote for a reconsideration of
the original action of the Senate on
the nomination. but without avail.
The only vote taken to-day on the
matter showed the Senate overwhelm-
ingly against granting a vote for re-
consideration. Even had there been
reconsider ids it 'H.e is believed M thas % the op' %
ponents of Gen. Smith would have been
successful in preventing reconsideration
and confirmation.
Rejected the Nomination.
The Senate voted on the Smith nom
ination about ten days ago. rejecting
the nomination by a vote of IS to %.
Under the rules of the Senate a motion
to reconsider this vote was in order IL
made within the limits of the next two
executive sessions. Such motion had
to be made, however, by some senator
who had voted against Smith. Senators
Hughes and MARITIME of New Jersey,
the home state of Gen. Smith, sought
in vain to find a senator who would
make such motion.
Then a last expedient when it was
found that Senator Pittman of Nevada
had been present and voted, though his
vote had not been recorded. the support
ers Of Smith had Pittman's vote recorded
and at the same time Senator Hughes
attempted to have his vote changed
from aye" to no" so that he then
might be able to move a reconsideration
himself.
II vas learned that he was allowed
to change his vote, but that when Sem
ator none smith or Georgia today NOV
ed that the vote be reannounced to the
Senate. SO that the whole matter would
be opened and Senator Hughes could
then move reconsideration of the
original vote. the Senate by 40 to 10
refused to permit the vote to be re-
announced. Soon afterward the execu-
tive session. which was the second
since the original vote was taken, was
adjourned. and with it went all hope
of favorable action on Gen. Smiths
nomination.
The opposition to Gen. Smiths NOM
ination grew out of charges that the
excise board was permitting evasions
and violations of the excise law here
Gen. Smith was a member of the board
its chairman. and his recent appoint
ment was for second term.

Marriage Ceremony Revision.

In the marriage ceremony it Is pro-
vided that when the ring is used the
words "and with all my worldly goods I
thee endow' shall be omitted for the
reason. the committee reported. that the
ceremony itself implies common owner :
ship of property.
1t is also proposed that the word
devil shall be stricken from passages
where it occurs, and that the word Sin
shall be substituted. The phrase The
trumpet shall sound and the dead be
raised" would be eliminated. on the
ground that it means the resurrection of
the spirit and not the body. The same
reason is advanced for substituting in the
burial service the 23d Psalm for the
S9th Psalm.

Non-Denominational Enterprise.

The work of the Bible societies of
the world is the one great non denomi-
national missionary enterprise. sup
pose that you can discover the lines
that run between denominations in the
Bible, although ! must say ! have
never been able to discover them. they
have been drawn out by differences of
temperament and point of view, which.
take leave to say are external TO the
Bible itself And this process of divi-
sion and diversity ought surely to be
offset and reversed by the process
which sends abroad through the earth
this opportunity to drink directly at
the sources of divine inspiration, with
out overmuch intervention and inter-
pretation; to drink directly from the
word of God itself the suggestion which
1t inevitably bears to the human spirit,
no matter where you touch it.
so that TO my mimi the colporteurs,
the agents of the Bible Society. the
men who. tramping through country
sides or travelling by every sort Of con-
veyance in every sort of land. carry
with them little cargoes Of books con-
tanning the word of God and spreading
loom that is weaving the spirits of
men together. hundred years can
not accomplish that miracle, a hundred
years cannot realize that vision. but
if the weaving goes on. if the light
continues to be spread if men do not
lose herat in the great ideal enter
prise, II will some day be accomplish
ed and a light will shine upon the
earth in which men cannot go astray."

destroyed buildings and other unex-
plored places. for reports of persons
missing are coming from every district.
The government is making a rigorous
examination into all rs local depart
ments with the object of purging them
of rebels. The Sim Fein insurrection
has revealed that many branches of the
government service, particularly the
post office. have been honeycombed
with dsloyalty. The investigation thus
far has disclosed the case of a high
post Office official who lived in a house
which had been used as an arsenal by
the rebels. large magazine of eX-
plosives, arms and ammunition was dis
covered in this house.
