CHURCH WEIGHS
RULE 'SHAKE-UP'
Presbyterian in the U. S. A.
Group May Restrict Vot-
ing on Policies.
ky the Associated Press.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June IA
"shakeup' in the Presbyterian Church
In the United States of America which
would deprive hundreds of ministers of
avoice in its government was proposed
today in a constitutional amendment
referred to the church's 276 Presby-
terles for consideration.
Sent down by vote of the church's
General Assembly, or national legis-
lature, the proposal would allow only
church executives or those ministers
actively engaged as pastors to partici-
pate in the church government beyond
their local congregations.
Those disqualified could not vote in
Presbytery district governing body
could not be elected delegates to
synodlcal (State) conference and
could not serve as commissioners in
the assembly.
5000 Fewer Pastors.
OF approximately 5000 clergymen
In the church, about 5000 are pastors
regularly assigned to churches.
The change was recommended by
the AsSembly's special commission of
nine. After the 1888 Assembly has
canvassed the Presbyteries' opinion, it
may submit the amendment formally
TO them for ratification. Approval by
simple majority would be necessary
to make it effective.
DR.. Henry S. Brown of Chicago.
chairman of the commission, said the
amendment should help eliminate
much trouble in the Presbyteries.
Antaxonism Found.
In studying the Presbyteries.' he
informed the assembly I'VE found that
much OF the trouble was due to the
fact that ministers, young and old,
who were not in the service of our
Presbyterian Church at all-indeed
some Of them were even an
tagonistic to our church-that these
men were likely to be present in Pres
byteries, voting and determining poll
cies and programs to be handed down
to active pastors and laborers in our
church 80
Groups Of ministers not engaged in
the full-time service Of our church and
elders under their influence would some
times hold the balance OF power and in
the heat Of strife use it ruthlessly."
The assembly also referred to the
Presbyteries for consideration over
lures proposing compulsory retirement
Of pastors at the age Of 10 on pensions.
Retirement of Church Board officials
and other executives at the age of 70
already is required. and pastors may
retire voluntarily at the age of IS.

 PLACED ON TRIAL

Shelbyville, Ky, Oct. l8.-(UP).-- The Carr brothers, who assassin ated the man they accused of kill ing their beautiful sister, came to trial today, pleading that they fired in self"defense.
 The charge was murder; the vic- tim was Brig. Gen. Henry H. Dem hardt, one-time lieutenant-governor of Kentucky, be-medaled veteran of three wars, and fiance of Mrs. Verna Carr Taylor.
 The commonwealth was expected to demand the death, penalty for the Garrs, just as 1t did for the gen. eral when 1t was trying him on charge of murdering Mrs. Taylor
 Denhardt's trial ended in hung jury. It was on the eve of his sec- ond trial that he and his attorney confronted the Garrs on Shelby vile street. Denhardt was fatally shot.
 Roy Carr, elder brother who po- lice said claimed to have fired the fatal shots, and Jack Carr, who had no gun at the time of the fatal meeting, have been free under bond supplied by wealthy Kentucky land- owners.

Johnson's recollection was that at 2:S0 p. m. he bacame drowsy, re- tired to the cabin and fell into a deep slumber. Both said that Mrs, IIamlyn awakened him about 4 D. m, ard suggested returning to shore. Johnson said that when he awoke, he felt weak and discovered that blood had saturated his clothing and had formed a pool on the floor.
 Despite his weakened condition, he guided the 60-foot craft to har- bor at Point Lookout. Before start ing, he had tried to lift the anchor, found 1t impossible and cut the rope. When the boat reached the dock at about p. m, he was too weak to tic hawsers. Two men tied his boat and summoned Q taxicab for him and Mrs. Hamlyn.
 Mrs. Hamlyn got out at her home, also in Freeport. A few minutes la ter Johnson dragged himself into his house and told his sons what had happened. They called Dr. Wil- liam II. Maddren, and he notified police.

Paris, Oct. IS - (UP) - Andre Charles Corbin, French ambassador, has been ordered to insist that any withdrawals of foreign volunteers from the Spanish civil war shall be in proportion to the number serving on the respective SidSs, 1t was learned today. This is in direct contradiction to the Italian demand that equal numbers be withdrawn from Nationalist and Loyalist ar- mics.
 Despite pessimism expressed at London and Rome, there was still some optimism here that an agree ment might be possible when the non intervention sub . committee meets tomorrow. AS seen here the Nationalists have much to gain from any agreement, and 1t was believed that if they were accorded recogni- ton as belligerents they would get soon thereafter partial diplomatic and economic recognition from Brit ain. France would be likely to fol- low any recognition move by Britain in order not to be left isolated if the NationaliSts won.

Public Barred From Hearing
Only Principals in Action With Attorneys, News writers Will Be Allowed at Opening Session in
 Superior Court Tuesday

Watetbury's disputed election faces probable !. adjudication by Judge Edwin 0. Dickenson in the superior court tomorrow, two weeks from the date that more than 38,000 voters cast a record ballot for caI1- 'didates representing two factions, the administration and a Fusion party comprising Republicans and Independent Democrats.
 Hearing of the rnandamus action brought by defeated Fusion candi- dates, led by the ticket head, Sem ator George T. Culhane, will be closed to the public by order of Judge Dickenson. Only counsel, re- lators and respondents of the action and the press will be admitted to- morrow at 10 o'clock when the bat tie over recanvassing of the voting machines starts.
 Plans Disclosed
 Plans of the opposing counsel were partially disclosed today. Corporation Counsel Charles &. O'Connor, acting for General Mod- orator James R. McMahon, will seek to have the court expunge the names of two "co-defendants" to the alternative writ of mandamus. His contention Is that City Clerk John P. Fitzmaurice and Town Clerk Dora A. Egan, the latter a plaintiff in the action as well as a defendant, are not properly defendants.
 Attorney Richardson Bronson, for Senator Culhane and six other can- didates, declared defeated after a recount held by Moderator McMa- hon, said he will seek "a clear-cut and prompt settlement of the entire situation by the court. We want light on the matter" he added.
 No Machine Agreement
 MT. Bronson denied that the Re- publican leaders at @ meeting last night called by Town Chairman J. Warren Upson had agreed" to seek recanvass of "only Q few of the machines" where, 1t was reported, @ "wide discrepancy" between the machine counters and the vote to- tals of the moderators appears"

The thrill of arising in the mor- ning's wee hours and slipping out to help the neighborhood milkman peddle his route will soon be but @ fond memory for Waterbury young sters-for juvenile court authorities today took direct action to clamp down" on the milk dealers and routemen--to either keep the young boys of the trucks in the early hours, or face court procedure. Eight routemen and eight boys, who have been found by the juvenile probation officers to be working together, have been notified to appear for hearings tomorrow morning. Judge John F. McGrath will hear the cases.
 Some Were Injured
 Miss Kathleen Crowley, juvenile probation officer, who is directing the campaign against the young milk peddlers, started such action when several instances in which the youngsters were injured were brought to her attention. The pos- abilities that young boys out at such early hours might easily fall into trouble are numerous also, according to Miss Crowley. Lieutenant Detec- tive Joseph Bender has been work ing with Miss Crowley in the pro- ject.
 It is a matter of common knowl- edge that numerous routemen have youngsters assisting them in their work, paying them small amounts at the end of each week.
