Presbyterians Seek
Increased Membership
Fellowship of Stewardship to
Have Enrolment of 100000
Under New Plan

STONY BROOK, L. L.. June So
Adoption of a platform presented by
the findings committee of the Presby-
terian Conference of Delegates marked
the closing session of the convention
here to-day. More than half. the de-
nomination was represented at the
conference, which began last Monday.
AS a practical expression of the
value OF the conference, the platform
commends the action taken, providing
for a recommendation to the Presby-
terian denomination that a definite ef-
fort be made to increase the number
of enrolled members of the Fellowship
of Stewardship to 100000.
Touching on the New Era Movement,
the platform recommends:
while the New Era Movement is
recognized as officially representing
the General Assembly. it's influence
and results will be strengthened by
presenting whenever possible the de-
liverances of the General Assembly
which convey an authoritative message
rather than giving the impression that
recommendations are suggested by the
New Era Movement. The movement
will find itself in proportion as it loses
itself in dealing with synods, presby-
teries and churches"

Goes to Hospital With Bull
let in Leg; Oriental Wait
er Shot Through Abdomen

Elmer Hamilton, a machinist. thirty
three years old, went from his home
at 137 Joralemon Street, Brooklyn,
last night to find excitement in China
town. From there he went to Beck
man Street Hospital with a bullet in
his leg. On the next cot to him, and
arriving at the same time and from the
same cause. was Tom Yec, a waiter. Of
SO South Oxford Street. with a bullet
in his abdomen.
Hamilton had arrived in Chatham
Square in sightseeing bus and with
several other persons all bent on the
absorption of local color, had stl oiled
along in the wake of a guide listening
to his monotonous monologue as he
reeled off the bloody histories of
stores and cellars, streets and alleys,
tong wars, or the opium traffic, and
the high toned gambling dens that used
to thrive there.
There was, in all this harangue, an
intimaton that peace and quiet had
settled upon the narrow, winding
1t was 1929 o'clock and there was
nothing about the lighted windows Of
the shops or the lounging residents to
challenge this. Then, suddenly. from
the poolroom at II Doyers Street came
a SHOT, followed by a screech, An
other shot broke the glass in the door,
and third struck Hamilton in the
leg as he stood on the street outside.
Chinese with revolver in his
hand ran from the peolroom and con-
tinued east to the Bowery.
Leaving the wounded where they
lay. Hamilton on the sidewalk and
Yee, the pool player, under a table in
the pooiroonl, a crowd of men and
women took up the chase. On the
Bowery, near Beefsteak Johns restau-
rant, the fugitive ducked into cellar:
Detectives Storjahan and Kemp, Of
the Oak Street police station, who had
been standing at the corner of Pell
Street, showed their way through the
crowd, and with drawn revolvcrs fol-
lowed the fugitive into his under
ground retreat. The cellar was old
and damp and dark, and extended out
from the building under the street.
The detectives found their man in a
corner and hauled him out,
At the police station the prisoner
described himself as Bow Sing, twenty
seven years old, a cook, living at 2
Orchard Street. The two bullets which
remained unexploded in his revolver
had been hit by the firing pin, but
for some reason had missed fire. He
had known Yee, he said for several
months. They had disagreed about a
