Book- keepers and accountants at the mill were ordered to cheek and recheck their figures. The governor felt that something was wrong. The accountants burned midnight oil all during April, but still they couldn't arrive at any other conclu- sion but that the mili had made a profit. Worse, they couldn't tell the governor just how it had been done.

Through the col- umns of the paper the community may thus take counsel together. Rea- sons that are felt germane to support for, or opposition to, the project are thereby given general circulation. The result is informative for the body of the city electorate. Voters may learn reasons that may not have occurred to them for casting their ballots one way or the other.

Wilson | St. Paul, May 24—()—By practi- jcally unanimous rising vote, the 141st general assembly of the terian. jchurch in the United States of Amer- ica today adopted a far-reaching rec- bhisireraret looking towards or- ganic union of five 1 Protestant church bodies. eae The proposal, made on the floor of the assembly, provided for appoint- ment of commissions to confer with similiar commissions from the Prot- estant Episcopal church, the Metho- dist Episcopal church, the Methodist Episcopal church south and the Presbyterian church of the United States, generally known as the Pres- byterian church south. The action was taken in answer to an invitation for a ci n to consider union extended by the Prot- estant Episcopal church at its general convention in Washington in October, 1928. Similarly the other church bodies have had under consideration the proposal for union for some time, action marks the most active partici- pation in the movement reached by the body meeting here. Speer to Confer In addition the assembly here today appointed Dr. Robert Speer of New York as @ special representative to confer with representatives of the Re- and Mrs. Charles |formed church synod, commonly known as the Dutch Reformed church, at its convention in June at Holland, Michigan. A third step in the direction of union was the appointment of Dr. Henry C.

His own institution was the subject of three reports each with @ minority report attached, also offi- cially presented today. They revolve around an old controversy in vhich a group styled as “Liberals” seek re- organization of the control of the in- stitution and increase in the power of the president while an ultra-conserv- ative group urges little or no change, except in one case, that the president be shorn of much power. This con- troversy is expected to be brought into the open Saturday and Monday. Dr. Cleveland B, McAfee of Chi- cago is the new moderator of the as- sembly.

The first act of what appeared to be another “ride” murder took place early today at cast 75th street and Champlain avenue. A man, who may have been killed by now, ran up to a taxicab driven by Melville Oliver and told him to “hurry up and drive me out of this neighborhood.” The man carried a revolver in his belt. Shortly afterward a large car crowded Oliver's cab to the curb. A man walked over to the cab, opened the rear door and addressing the fare Sal ‘Come on, get out.” This man JEWS HE ATTACKED New York, May 24.—(?)—Henry Ford, who two years ago made public apology for attacks on Jews in his -{men may have been Ernie & 3 i i [ | : i é i 7 & | i I i ® [ ij id i 3 i E ed vice moderator of the 141st general assembly by Dr. McAfee.
