By the Associated Pres INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 23— William Jennings Bryan, fundamen- talist legder, smarting under the re- verse suffered yesterday at the hands of the liberaMst element, when & resolutiog he had prepared, which would have prohibited the teaching of the theory of evolutlon in Presby- terian schools, was defeated by a vote of approximately 2 to 1, planned to renew his attacks on Darwintsm at today's session of the General Assem- bly of the Presbyterlan Church of the United States of America. Commenting on the action of the e&ssembly in adopting a substitute! resolution offered by John Willls! Baer, a liberalist, Mr. Bryan charged that the assembly was controlled by a liberal machine and that his resolu- tion had been steam-rollered by a group of church politicians. Tndulge in Personalities. 1 The defeat of Mr. Bryan's resolu- | tlon came at the end of a stormy ses- | slon, in which the fundamentalists and Tiberals at times indulged in per- sonalities. The debate is expect to break out afresh today when the com- mittee on bills and overtures brings in its report on the case of Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick, liberalist ‘leader, who questions certain doctrines of the Bible, especially the virgin birth of Christ. Two Reports on Fosdick. With only one dissenting volce the bills and overtures convention of the Presbyterfan Church in the United States of America rejected the over- ture from the Philadelphia Presby- tery, protesting against the doctrines preached by Harry Emerson Fosdick. A= a substitute the convention re ommended to the general assembly that the New York Presbytery Wwhich is now investigating the Fos dick case, be asked to submit its find- ings to the assembly next year. The Rev. A. Gordon MacClennan of Philadelphia, the only dissenting member of the committee, submitted a minority report, demanding that the assembly direct the New York Presbytery to “take such action as will require the preaching and teach- ing in the First Presbyterian Church of New York to conform to the sys- tem of doctrines taught In the con- fession of falth.” The minority resolution reiterates the church’s doctrine of the virgin birth of Christ and belief in the per- formance of various miracles by Him. After hearing the reports the as- sembly postponed action. ROCKYVILLE. Special Dispatch to the Star.

Hopes to Complete Pro- gram and Adjourn To- morrow Noon. By the Assoclated Press. MONTREAT, C., May 23.—With the standing stewardship committee's report approving the extensive “Pres- byterian progressive program” and the question of whether women shall hold places on the executive commi- tees before it as principal matters of importance, the sixty-third General Assembly of the Southern Presbyter- fan Church today was attempting to complets a crowded docket in time for adjournment tomorrow mnoon. The favorable report of the stand- ing committee was halled as a vic- tory for the permanent body of stewardship, of which Dr. M. E. Melvin, Chattanooga, Tenn., is gen- eral secretary. The schedule of ac- tivities of the church, with $4,750,000 as a goal for benevolences during the year, $500,000 for the equipment fund quota; $75.000 for the permanent operations, and a cam- palgn for a church building fund to begin immediately were among the portions of the report favored by the standing committec. Promoting Equipment Fund. The church is promoting an equip- ment fund of $5,000,000 adopted in 1921. The standing committee recom- mended that the church building pro- gram be made a part of this particu- lar fund. Overtures asking that the Lord’s Day Alliance be placed on the |general assembly's regular benevolent | budget were declined. Only two ex- |tra calls for funds during the year are favored in the recommendations. Overtures requesting that the action of a previous assembly granting Montreat $200,000 from the equipment budget be rescinded were disapproved by the committee. In reply to an overture relating to the expenditure of the permanent commitiee on stewardship expens budget the report asserted there ha been “no unwise use of this fund and commended Dr. Melvin and his committeemen for their work., Dr. Walter L. Lingle, Richmond, Va., ‘read the report. Discunses Plea of Women. The effort of the women to obtain representation on the executive com- mittees of the assembly wa sponsored by St. John's Presbytery Florida. The majority report of the ybills and overtures committee was against the overture, while the min- ority report prepared for submlission favored the placing of the women on the committees. At present the wom- en have no representation on the highest court of the church. Among the other overtures acted upon by this committee was one asking an amendment to the church constitution so as to allow any church desiring to do so to elect elders and deacons for a limited term of service, the length of time for such service to be determined by the church. The question was approved. —_—_— GOVERNOR’S AID ASKED Pledges to Assist Head of Michigan Institution Who May Be Asked to Quit. By the Associated Press. LANSING, Mich., May 23.—Dr. David Friday, president of the Michigan Agricultural College, appeared today to be the winner of the first round in his battle with the state board of agriculture, which at a secret meeting recently is reported to have decided to ask his resignation. In a conference with Gov. Alex J. Groesbeck extending far into the night, Dr. Friday recelved a pledge of aid from the executive. There also are well founded reports that the governor will investigate the rea- sons for the board's alleged ill feel- ing toward the college head, fol- lowing the latter’s statement that some members had shown enmity toward him because he refused to used state funds for a co-operative project in Detroit, said to have been backed by a farm organization. The second round in the battle will come Friday, when the college head will face the board in a meet- ing called by the president. There are reports that the board will not demand a resignation. Other reports from reliable sources are to the effect that several members of the . board have decided to resign. COMMISSIONS GIVEN. District Men Given Rank in Re- serve Corps.

NEW YORK, May 23.—The United States, after the civil war was “ready for a more brilllant destiny than it had ever known before) because it was strengthened and united, and un- derstood better from the example of Abraham Lincoin, “as the great war showed 1h our aays, the value of dis- interested courage and generosity.” Jules Jusserand, ambassador of { France, declared in an address yesterday at the unveiling of a bust of the mar- tyred President In the New York Uni- ersity Hall of Fame. The ambassador referred to the humble origin of the great President, whose task was “to perfect the work of Washington and make it inde- i structible,” saying he was “fitted for a carcer unique In the history of.the world, by the forest, the swamp, the river, by necessity, by the great heart God hdd given him, in which courage, tenderness, humor, an aptitude to merriment, an aptitude to melancholy, lived together, all kept within bounds by_common sens | ““These.” he continued, “molded a | man, who, fearless by nature and habit, surrounded from childhood by the unknown and the unexpected, would be in after life astonished at nothing. and who. in his soul's soli- | tude, with no one to rely upon, would in the every-day dificulties of his rough beginnings, gather informa- tion by personal experience, silently | think the matter over for himself and | take his own decision. “Concerning the Union, his senti- ment never changed; his opinion was like Washington's, who had written: ‘When the bond of union gets once broken everything rufnous to our fu ture ‘prospects is to be apprehended. Concerning _slavery, a friend of liber- ty though he was, It took him a long time to become an abolishionist: he would have preferred gradual aboli- tion, with compensation to the slave owners; In. which again his_ideas were very similar to those of Wash- | ington. | i } By the Associated Press. | | Decision Immovable. “When, however, he found that there was no means of preserving the Unlon save to solve at all risks the old standing problems once for all, his_decision became immovable. “His transparent honesty, forceful character and earnestness, natural eloquence, master of the English lahguage, no great that, when he is at his best, one capnot add, sup- press, change or dfsplace a word without spoiling his sentences: his shrewd _intelligence of matters po- litical, had raised him from the ob- scurity where he lay concealed to be, * * * on the eve of the most rerilous conflict this republic and modern democracy had ever had to face, sixteenth President of _the Tnited States. What the conflict was, bhetween opponents equally brave, equally sure their rights, all the world knows, "he future of democracy depended in a large measure upon the issue. Could a republic stand such a test, survive, form again a Unlon? It did, owing chiefly to that great heart God had_given Lincoln, to the chiv- alrous character of Ulysses S. Grant ! and Robert E. Lee, both side by side justly honored in these Falls, and owing also to the equal patri. ism of the winners and the losers in the conflict. “Fair to all, just to_all, mourning so many losses in tles where overy fighter was an American, the | great citizen who had entered the war, having hoped to the last that it could be avolded, saw the end of the storm and, his ‘task fulfilled, fell the last victim of the cause to which he had dedicated his life. “All nations were stirred with hor- rer; a hero, a martyr, bad disap- yearcd from a world the better for his words, his deeds, his example.

For Shrine Dancers on Avenue “One mile of music.” every note of a gift to the Shriners. which is heard plainly and distinctly, is in store for the grest Shrine car- nival on Pennsylvan¥® avenue on Thursday s night, June 7. For th first time in the history of the world band musie will be amplified by electrical en- ergy in such a way that from the Treasury to the Capitol tens of thousands of= people wil be able to hear the muslo as well at one end as the other. It is made possible by the Chesapeake and 5 Potomac Telephone Company's loud speaker apparatus being installed as The only visible apparatus are some queer shaped horns placed near the top of every ome of the tem- porary poles on Pennsylvania ave- nue. “In Pol's Theater and in the Capltol bullding power plants and control rooms are to be manned by experts. The loud-speaking device, used here for the first time at the inauguration of President Harding and since then at the burial of the unknown soldier and at the dedica- tion of the Lincoln Memorial, will be utilized for this novel musical festival. . While the music is being played and the dancing going on the sound of the band will generate energy by means of sensitive transmiiters. The energy is led through amplifiers and spills out through the horns. It is multiplied to such an extent that the only way to express it is to multiply & million by a million and to multiply that result by another million. Enough power is generated in these amplifiers to send a tel phone message from Washington t. each one of the fourteen milliok. telephone instruments in the United States. If & man could multiply his own base ball throwing energy In - the same provortion he could throw a base ball from Washington to the sun. Babe Ruth could bat a ball 400,000 million times around the world. In addition to the music for Wash- ington local broadcasting stations are planning to send the mile of music out through the various states, where the “stay-at-homes” who have wireless sets may listen in.. Roof gardens and dance halls throughout the country will pause for the time being to hear the notes and ask the couples present to glide to them. At 12 o'clock midnight the band at’, the Treasury steps will blare forth in the tune of “My Country Tis of Thee,” to which anthem the crowds on the Avenue will join in singing. All listeners in that are able to hear this music are asked to sing, whether thev be at & hotel or their own homes. Thus united America will unitedly sing its patriotic song. “Phawat's become av Mike Raf- ferty 2" “Poor felly, he mistook an auto horn fer the noon whistle, an’ stopped wuurk crossing the strate.” BUSINESS for SALE The Cinderella Shops (Not Including the Candy Shop and Tea Garden) i ) HIS unique and attractive business, consisting of Chil- dren’s Toy Shop, Children’s Book Shop, Infants’ and Tiny Tots’ Shop and Lamp Shade Shop, will be sold as a whole or in part, and can be had at a real bargain.
