DIR. F0sdick's Case
Again To Be ).
PRESBYTERIAN Issue

Columbus, o., May o "a. Pine
case of DIR. Harry Emerson Fosdick,
Baptist minister, who recently va
Gated the pulpit of the First Presby-
terrain church Of New York City at
the request Of the Presbyterian Cen
eral Assembly, again will be the
center of controversy when the as
sembly convenes for its 137th annual
session here the week beginning
May 81.
The Fosdick dispute arose at last
years session oyer the question OF
his orthodoxy. His opponents sue
vote for the termination Of his re-
lationship with the Presbyterian
church. Immediate action. however,
was not taken by the New York
presbytery and it was this delay
that is expected to bring comment
by faction of the assembly headed
by DR.. Walter D. Buchanan. pastor
of Broadway Presbyterian church,
New York.
DIR. Buchanan and his associates
also will bring other cases against
the New York presbytery, 1t 10 an
nounced here, charging that 1t has
licensed young ministers to preach
who do not believe In the Virgin
Birth, the miracles Of Christ. and
other fundamentals of the New
Testament. These cases will be tried
In executive session by the judicial
commission, a separate body which
sits apart from the general assem-
bly,. If the assembly does not accept
the findings of the commission, then
the case at issue will be tried before
the assembly.
The first test Of the strength Of
the fundamentalists and the liberals
will come on the election OF . mod
orator at the opening session. The
fundamentalists won last year. elect
ing as moderator DR.. Clarence Ed
ward Mccartney, pastor Of the Arch
Street Presbyterian church, Phila-
delphia. DR.. Mccartney was credit
cd with being mainly responsible for
the bringing to a head Of the charg-
es against the New York presbytery
centering around DIR. Fesdick.
The fundamentalists this year are
expected to support DIR. Lapsley A.
McAfee of Berkeley, Cal. William
Jennings Bryan, representing the
Florida presbytery, could have the
nomination for moderator on behalf
Of the fundamentalists, but refuses
to stand for the Office representing
a divided church, according to the
view here. Another likely candidate
for moderator is DR.. William y.
Thompson of Columbus, president of
Ohio State university. He has been
for rs years in this once.
The Presbyterian General Assem-
bly, will be officially attended by
10000 newly elected commissioners
from the 299 presbyteries throughout
the United States and by board Sec
retaries and other officials totaling
nearly 1000.
Annual reports will be submitted
by all the boards and agencies. A
special committee headed by DR..
Joseph A. Vance Of Detroit, Mich,
will present a report for q plan sys-
tematizing the finances Of the de-
nomination into one unified method

In one respect the day in the wheat

In the corn market, assertions that

London Dungeons
Open To Public

London, April 81 CA. P. by maiD-
Four additional towers of the FAM
Gus Tower of London have been
opened for the first time for the con-
venience of the thousands of sigh
seers from all parts of the world who
visit this historic place weekly. The
great oaken doors of these towers,
known as the Byward, Salt. Martin
and Broad Arrow were found to be
in a Wonderful state of preservation,
and the great dungeons where enemy
spies were lodged during the last
war are now open to public inspec-
ton for the first time in history.
1t was near the Martin Tower that
some of the spies were shot, among
them Carl Hans Lody. German
who, posing as an American, was
captured in the summer of 1914, and
who was the first person to be ex-
ecuted in these precincts for nearly
100 years.
In past centuries hundreds of
traitors and prisoners of state were
confined in the towers, and many of
them whiled away the weary days by
carving pictures and inscriptions on
the walls and these are still visible
today.

trance to the inner ward, must have

AS far as is known positively the
Tower of London, which today COW

William the Conquerer, who began
the White tower somewhere about
1913, and completed it about 20 years
afterward. At first it was a palace,
but later was used as a <prison.
