Grand Rapids.

The request with a-fundamentalist backing, was adopted by the Presby- tery, but only after a strenuous fight. Those opposing the overture then fil- ed minority report, asking that the overture be not accepted.
 At last nights meeting the com mittee on judicial business, it was learned today, refused to reject the report as urged by the fun- iamentalist group, and passed the re- port on to the judicial committee it will 20 to the assembly.

He reopened the station and just as he was going to put on the lights, man who had left the machine tried to grab him.
 He drew his revolver and the aan leaped into the machine, and it was driven away at a fast clip by a com panion who had remained seated at the wheel. Sharp fired several shots after the machine without effect. He did not get the number of the auto- mobile and a search was made of the city by Patrolman Gustav Hellberg for the machine without success.

DEFECTIVE PLATE
 CAUSED COLLAPSE
Report Clear Up Reasons for
 0neCo Bridge Breaking

Hartford, May 24.---An official re-
 port on the investigation made by the
 state highway department into the
 collapse Of the trunk line bridge at
 Oneco March 14th. has been made to
 Highway Commissioner John A. Mac
 Donald and it clears several points which seemed in doubt when first re- ] ports were unohficially made of the
 accident. An old fracture Of an inner web plate is held responsible for the collapse and not an overload
 on the bridge.
 The accident was on the day when
 men from the state highway depart ment were clearing roads after very heavy snowfall. It was currently re- ported after the mishap that two of the departments trucks had been chained together as they went onto the bridge. The engineers report says the trucks were separate and the weight of the second was not entirely on the bridge. The report says that the larger truck weighing approxi- mately 1000 pounds and carrying 5000 was three-quarters way over the bridge when the truss failed by reason of the defective web-p plate and it slid into the water. The smaller truck which was following, was on the edge of the bridge with its front truck on. Without anything to hold it back the smaller truck also slid into the water.
 The bridge was designed to carry 10 tons with allowances for impast and the dead load produced by the wooden floor. It was therefore capable, structurally of carrying four times the load which was actually on the bridge when the truss failed. The fracture in the web- plate was an old one, determined, the engineers say, by the fact that the crack had rust in it. The bridge had been in . charge of the highway department only since last July. Previously the i town of Sterling had maintained it. The bridge had appeared to be in ex- celent condition and not needing re- pairs and had carried heavy loads sign of defect.
 The report says that the collapse was peculiar. Only one truss failed while the other stood unmoved in its original position. The steel floor beams with floor were on one side still attached 10 the truss and rested with the other end on the bank.

They hailed a passing machine and pur- sued Dobruck, catching him near the circus
 They found he had been drinking and Cosgrove took the wheel of the machine and started to drive to the station. When they reached East Main street. Dobruck made a dive and succeeded in getting away from the policeman, only to be apprended again in the rear of an East Main street building. Here he gave the police rough and tumble tussle be- fore they succeeded in getting the handcuffs on him.
 An investigation into the ownership of the automobile, which was a small truck, showed that it was the prop erty of Joe Laustauskas. proprietor of the Kelsey market. He told the po- lice that Jennings had taken the ma chine home with him when he went to lunch and had not returned to the store with it. Jennings was then placed under arrest at hi home on q charge of taking the machine with out permission.
