 Back Pastor
NEW YORK. Jan. S.-Outlining the

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-Outl1nlng the first principles in q platform which will form the basis for modernist ac- tivities in the Protestant Episcopal church. leading clergymen and lay men at a conference today demanded, in the interest of fairness, complete vindicatior of the Rev. Lee w.. Iieaton of Fort Worth. Tex. on charges of heresy for which he re- gently was cited but not tried.
 While they expressed satisfaction q; the unwillingness of the bishops to subject the Rev. Heaton to a trial, the modcrnists branded his suspend ed sentence" as unjust and urged that steps be taken to clear his name.
 Tn" pursuit of truth and the core lati0n rrith religion of the results of new knowledge from whatever source derived were adopted as modernist principles Such questions as the vir- gin birth and bodily resurrection, said an official statement. were mere de- tails. The modernists pledged them- selves to fight for liberal interpreta- tion of the church creed. and to ex- press their beliefs freely, fearlessly and constructively. ' Today's conference was the first of series devised to elaborate moder- mist principles and make them better understood, said the statement issued by Dr. A. G.

 ON CONSULTATION
Final Arguments Given On Railroad Merger Before
 l. C. Commission

WASHINGTON, Jan. B. Widely divergent views on railroad consolf- dation proposals were argued before the interstate commerce commission arguments on the merger plan by representatives of railroads. com munities and interest affected.
 II. T. Newcomb, counsel for the Delaware and Hudson, broke new ground In the proceedings by att tacking the entire theory and method of the consolidation proposals, while Nickel Plate, asked the commission to do nothing in it's consolidation steps which would prevent that rail- road and associate and nefghbortng systems from proceeding with even wided amalgamation projects than have yet been attempted.
 MT. Newcomb declared that there was no liklihood that forced mer- ger of strong with weak railroads would give better public service or a stronger financial structure for transportation. The commerce com mission, he contended. by tentatively suggesting creation of IS or 30 mer- ger corporations to take in all exist ing main line railroads had far exceeded the spirit and purpose of he Esch-Cummins law. He asked 1t to refrain from taking any steps in the plan which might imply future danger to the Delaware and Hudson.
 The Nickel Plate system, MT. Col ston said, looked forward to a pos sible consolidation of the Erie. Chesapeake and Ohio, and VirginiAn systems, whereas these have been tentatively placed in different organ izations by the commission. He asked that the corporations concerned be left free to make up such railroad system which would have 13,000 miles of trackage and be fit in resources and geographical characteristics to compete with the existing Pennsyl- vania and New York Central systems. Such a grouping, he said. should be left to develop of itself, if owner ship found It desirable and advant- ageous.
 The arguments tomorrow are ex- pected to deal with New England railroad conditions and in the latter part of the week with western and southern railroads.

Delay Likely

LONDON, Jan. S.--So much delay has occurred in the return by the British dominion governments of the draft of the Anglo-American liquor treaty that it now appears likely the document may not be signed before the dissolution of the present Brit ish government. The draft text, which comprises about 1900 words, was sent to the overseas government for approval some weeks ago by mail and up to the present no re- sponses have been received by the foreign office.
 Officials here repudiate the sugges- tion that there has been wilful de- by Great Britain because of the con- tinued seizure by American authori- ties of British vessels suspected of rum running while these vessels were outside the three mile limit

MARKS AN EPOCH. r R PARLIAMENT.
Session Opens Which Is Ex- pection To Mark Labor's
 New Power
By LLOYD ALLEN

tLease0 "tre TO The ASe.Hef4l0.)
 LONDON, Jan. 8.-Great Britain's parliament reassembl-d this after noon for the session, which will un- doubtedly be marked by accession to power of the first labor government.
 Although not summoned to the House of Lords to hear the reading of the kings message until 2:45 p. n., members of the house of commons were busy this morning "ticketing" the seats they propose to occupy.
 Lady Terrington, newly elected M. F., was among the first in the ho use. She put a ticket oh the sea- she chose promptly at 10 a. m.
 Scores of newly elected NJ. P.'s stood in the cold, misty dawn, wait ing in line until the doors of com mons opened. Then there was a rush to place cards on seats, which will be theirs throughout the session. By g a. m., 100 places had been ticketed. mainly by liberals.
 After the reading of the kings message, election of speaker of the house was the first order of busi- ness. There was no opposition to the reelection of the Right Honorable J. H. Whitely.
 Mcdonald Given Grafton.
 Whitely was unanimously re-elect- ed speaker. without opposition as scheduled. Ramsay Macdonald was given an ovation by big crowd which had gathered outside when he arrived at the parliament building.
 In the chamber the labor leader was received with equal warmth as he advanced and shook hands with Prime Minister Baldwin.
 Baldwin and Macdonald headed the traditional procession of members and ministers to the House of Lords. where they heard the royal commis- sion read formally opening parlia- ment.
 Galleries were packed in the House of Commons, but the gathering was exception decorous.
 Every seat was filled.
 Former Prime Minister Lloyd George occupied front seat in the opposing group.
 At D. m., the House of Commons adjourned until tomorrow.
 A severe cold prevented former Premier Asauith from attending commons this afternoon.
 Asquith Played.
 George Lansbury. editor of the Daily Herald and labor member, in an interview with the United Press, charged that Asquith and his friends are planning to persuade King George not to dissolve parliament when Ramsay Macdonald requests it. Lansbury declared such a move would inevitably raise the republican issue in England.
 Ordinarily" Lansbury said, "the king would not dream of 1t following with the orderly process of .constitu- tional procedure in this country. So I say to Asquith and his friends be careful. Such a move would be very bad for the kings prestige"
 Parliament will adjourn Friday until January 15, after which win come the reading of the kings speech and the subsequent prolonged debate, which Is expected to end in tho downfall of the Baldwin government and the kings summons to Ramsay Macdonald to form a government.
