PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCHES May
CONSOLIDATE
Rev. J. Frank Young Resigns
as Pastor Of Westminster;
Suggests Merger With
ParkWaIe.

Rev. J. Frank Yotng, pastor of
Westminster Presbyterian church,
rendered his resignation to the CON
gregation at yesterdays morning
service, to be effective on August 81.
In this connection there is pros
pective consolidation of Parkvale
and Westminster Presbyterian
churches.
In his resignation DR.. Young re-
ferred to the recent resignation OF
Rev. r. w. Taylor of Parkvale
church, and he expressed the belief
that the real solution of the situa-
ton rested in the consolidation of
these churches. He believed that
his resignation would result in ex-
pediting the consolidation project
which was brought up several years
ago when each church considered
building propositions.
Before the war situation affected
the building situation, these con-
gregations discussed new churches
and the matter was brought before
the Omaha Presbytery on the basis
tlidl OllC SllulI I'll WOulu DCSl SClNS
the interests of all concerned. The
Presbytery at that time held that
each church might build new
edihce.
Subject Renewed.
The consolidation proposition has
been renewed by leading members
of both churches and it is believed
that it will be consummated. West
minister church at Twenty-ninth and
Mason streets is landmark of To-
cal Presbyterianism. In its heyday
it was tower of religious strength.
Development of the city has affected
its membership in recent years. This
church owns a site at Thirty-second
and Pacific streets, where the con-
gregation intended to build a new
church.
The Parkvale church is compare
lively a new church organization in
the district southwest of Hanscom
park.
The present combined member
ship of the two churches is about
500.
DR.. Young has been pastor of
Westminster church for six years.

Parisians Uneasy Over
Prospect Of Strike May !

Paris, April l3.-The approach of
May ! is arousing uneasiness as re-
CARDS the manner in which that day,
long notable in European labor an
mails, will be celebrated here. Some
Parisians who are leaving the city
for the Easter holiday intend to
prolong their stay until after the
first of the month.
At present the only thing known
as to the probable scope of the pro-
gram is that the labor unions and
the general labor federation are
planning a demonstration which
may take the form of a general
strike of all labor for "a hours or
limited strike of the same strength
which would leave the public serv-
ices in operation.

League Constitution
Still Unsatisfactory
to Sen. Poindexter

Spokane, Wash, April l3.-The
proposed constitution of the league
of nations, as amended, still is a
supreme sacrifice" as far as the
United States is concerned, United
States Senator Poindexter said here
tonight in a statement ebjccting to
the league covenant in its revised
form as being opposed to the in
terests of this nation.
IF the provision for a una1i-
nous vote includes the votes Of
parties to ansinternational dispute"
his statement said, requiring their
agreement on any action, of course,
the league is meaningless and pow
erless.- as the agreement makes &C.
ton Of the league unnecessary. If
the parties to the dispute are not
allowed a vote, then their vital at
fairs are under the control of an
alien tribunal in which they have
no voice-a total surrender of SOW
ereignty as to such matters"

ADJ0U RNMENT
WILL DEPEND ON
CODE MEASURE
But Two Bills Now Await Ac.
ton Of Lower House; Hope
to Finish Up by We'd
nesday.
BY a-Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, April 13.-When the
house knocked off work Saturday
afternoon there were only two meas
ures left on the general file await
ing action by the lower branch Of
the legislature.
These were the measures spon-
sored by the Nebraska state Board
of Agriculture, aimed particularly to
enlarge the activities of the board
and to protect it from any intrusion
of the Department of Agriculture
contemplated in the civil administra-
tive code. 1t is not anticipated that
the house will take any action on
the bills, preferring to let them die
in this manner. The board has al
ready been given assurance that
there is no intention to remove the
actual management of the fair from
its direction.
Language Bill Advanced.
The senate bill introduced by
Senators Reed and Johnson, pro-
hibiting the use of foreign language
at public meetings, particularly
aimed to deal with political gather
ings, was sent to third reading in the
lower branch after a rather brisk
debate. The house sentiment was
overwhelmingly in favor of the bill.
Representative Mears of Wayne and
Representative Behrens of Cunning
spoke in opposition to|the bill, but
it had dozen champions in the
house who vigorously pushed the
fight.
Speaking in favor of the bill, Rep
resentative Byrum declared that he
was informed on reliable authority
that recently meetings had been held
at which sentiments detrimental to
America had been expressed. He
said the measure was simply another
needed step towards Americaniza-
ton. y
Time to Quit.
Mr.. Mears said that the legisla-
ture had performed it's full duty in
this direction and it was now time
to knock off. The house will pass
the measure tomorrow and the SEN
ate having already passed it, will
concur in> the house amendments,
which strengthen the provisions of
the bill.
The county attorneys of Nebraska.
with the exception of Douglas and
Lancaster counties, will get raise
i'll salary, the lower house agreed.
1t advanced the bill carrying the SAL
airy raise to third reading.
With everything out of the way
practically, house leaders are looking
forward to adjournment Wednesday.
Senate leaders also state that the
upper branch is ready to quit. It
will all depend on how long it will
take the conferees to whip the code
measure, which has already passed
both branches, into shape.

Reform Bill Puts
End to Plural Voting
System in Belgium

Brussels, April l3.-The limited
vote given to women by the passage
by the Belgian chamber of deputies
of the electoral reform bill was a
concession to the Catholics, who
wanted the vote for all women.
Those who suffered Imprisonment
for political reasons at the hands of
the Germans during the occupation
also are given the vote.
The, reform bill puts an end to
plural voting, which for 20 years
has given a Catholic majority in
both houses.
Before the sitting of the chamber
the socialist group had issued a
warning that it would not be a
party to any new ministry should
the present ministry of national
union fall on the question of cleo
toral reform.

Bishop. Of Latter Day
Saints Attacks Motion
Of President Smith
Special to The Bee.

Lamont. Ia, April l3.-The first
speaker Saturday afternoon at the
conference of the reorganized
churches of Latter Day Saints in
session here was Benjamin r. Nc
CURE, present bishop of the church.
He took his stand against the mo-
ton to endorse President Smiths
inspection of the church law con-
corning quorum authority. The
bishop hinged his opposition upon
the statement by the president that
the quorum of II was subordinate
to and under the direction of the
first presidency in all respects, ex-
cept in legislative power. Church
law grants concurrent power in
judicial matters to the three leading
quorums, vice presidency, quorum OF
Il and quorum of 20, when these
quorums render unanimous de-
cisions.
Thomas w. Williams of Los An
geles, Cal, followed the bishop in a
spirited defense of President Smiths
policies. 1--WE stand for deme-
cracy," he said. The consent
of the governed is a basic principle
in this church. The presidency of
the church has distinctive admins
trative and executive powers which
belong to no other body in the
church. In the missionary depart.
ment of the church the quorum of
II is subject to the discretion of the
presidency and under the presidency
has charge of PROSECUTING in all the
world" ......
The church, where organized, is
under the general supervision of the
presidency and direct charge of the
standing ministry, the high priest,
eldest priest, teachers and deacons.
