TWO MILL CITY MEN DROWN Give Up Their Lives to Save a Com- panion, Minneapolis, May 29.—W. G. Con- ley, aged twenty-two, and George Gibbs, aged thirty-three, both conduc- tors on the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul road, were drowned by the capsizing of a rowboat in Lake Chan- hassen, fifteen miles south of Minne apolis. They gave up their lives to save Patrick Kenny, a companion, whao could not swim. Kenny clung to the overturned craft an hour and was finally rescued. ; Conley and Gibbs were both -fairly good swimmers, but it is believed un- derestimated the distance from the boat to the shore. The boat in which the three men were out fishing was small and when it overturned coule not support them all. Kenny, being unable to swim, it was decided to lel him cling to the overturned boat while Conley and Gibbs struck out for shore to get help. CLOSING ARGUMENTS MADE Trial of “Adam God” at Kansas City.

ECHO OF CHURCH DNION| Report Adopted at Denver Convention Rebukes Tennessee Tribunals for Presuming to Pass Judgment Upon Matters of Church ‘Boctrine—De. cision Should Have Been Confined to Property Rights. Denver, May 29.—The church locked horns with the state when the gen- eral assembly of the Presbyterian church.in effect condemned the action of the state courts of Tennessee in setting aside the union of the Presby- terian church in the United States of America with the Cumberland Pres- byterian church. The assembly’s criticism of the courts, which was unsparing, was hpsed on a report of the committee on church co-operation. The report was written by William Henry Roberts, D. D., LL. D, the stated clerk of the assembly, chairman of the committee and for more than twenty-five years rogarded as the law giver of the as- sembly. 'he report rebukes the Tennessee courts for presuming to pass judg- ment upon matters of church doctrine. It recognizes the right of courts to pass upon disputes concerning prop- erty, but where a religious belief is concerned the report contended thau this shall be adjudicated in the church councils. The assembly also reaf- firmed the recommendations of the assembly of 1906, at which the union of churches was effected. The report of the committee was based on legal action begun by anti- consolidation members of the Cumber- land church, wherein they were sup- ported by the Tennessee courts and glven possession of a number of valu- able churches which otherwise would have -become the property of the United church. It was the contention in these suits that the union forced members of the Cumberland church to recognize doctrine different from the one to which they had originally sub- seribed. i Milk Toast and Cheese.
