TOPEKA, Kan., April 2—The ministers of Topeka took a fall out of Rev. Charles M. Sheldon to-day. The occasion was the regular meeting of the Ministerial Union, and the subject of discussion the recent | “Christian Daily” experiment, About two | dozen ministers were present. With but one exception all agreed that the experi- ment had been a failure, the consensus of opinion being that Rev.' Mr. Sheldon had not only faled to make & g00d newspaper out-of the Topeka Capital. but that he did not evén succeed in making it an up-to- date religlous journal. Dean John W. Sykes of the Episcopal church declared hen he presumed to edit a newspaper | s Jesus would,” or in presuming to be | a judge of what Jesus would have done or | said. After nearly every minister present had taken a shot at him Rev. Mr. Sheldon arose, stated he did not care to discuss his experiment at this time, but would do so | in a lecture which is now in course of | preparation. | e S i BOULEVARD NOW ASSURED.

Burbanks | Brothers' complaint asking for an injunc- | tion to prohibit further work on the Ti- buron Boulevard, Judge Angellotti has finally decided the matter which has been fought over by Sausalito and San Rafael in favor of the latter. Theodore W. Burbank petitioned the court for an order restraining any con- tracts for or on the boulevard being acted | on by the Board of Supervisors, and fur- ther asked for an injunction. District At- torney = Mclsaacs entered a demurrer, which was sustained by the court to-day. | Superior Judge Angellotti in passing judg- | ment said that the complaint did not state facts sufficient to constitute cause for ac- tion. Contracts will now be let to com- plete the Tiburon Boulevard. st i Government Alleges Fraud. Special Dispatch to The Call.

Action Is Delayed for Two Weeks and There Is 2 Probability That the Requesd Will Ba Denied. CHICAGO, April 2—The resignation of Rev. Newell Dwight Hillls, pastor of Plymouth Churcéh, Brooklyn, from the Chicago Presbytery and the request that | he be ailowed to demit from the Presby terfan church was to-day placed before the annual meeting of the Chicago Pres- bytery. No actlon will be taken on the matter for two weeks, the committee to which Mr. Hillis letter of resignation was referred for consideration requesting that much time on account of many important interests involved and being unwilling to take hasty action on a matter so impor- tant to the Presbyterian church. Dr. Hillis' resignation w. the form of a letter to Dr. W. C. Gray, editor of The Interior, and a personal friend of the Brooklyn pastor, and when the aged divine stepped upon the platform to p sent the letter to the Chicago Presbytery the auditorfum of Olivet Mem urch, in which the meeting w was crowded to the doors, every Presbyterian minister in Chicago being present. The reading of the letter, wkich was a lengthy one, was followed with the closest interest. It was ge known before the meeting was called that Dr. Hillis’ resignation would be presented but his request that he be allowed to in other words. that his name be erased from the rolls of the Presbyterian church—oceasioned a surprise. Dr. Hillis’ Letter. at In concluding his sensational letter Dr. Hillis says; For years 1 have urged the revision of our cruel creed or the proposition of a new one. I now perceive that my position has been mis- understcod and nothing is left but for me to withdraw. 1 withdraw, not to escape exist- ing responsibilities on 'my part, for I shall last degree my every duty to the church of Christ; I withdraw free you from responsibility for me. From this time, T am bound to my college brethren in the ministry, but you are free from embarrassment or responsibility for my views. Hitherto disagreements in the pres- bytery have been accompanied by trials for heresy and the disturbance of the rch. 1 hepe that my withdrawal will strengthen friendships, mot impair them; will make peace, rather than disturb quillity. 1 lay down my ministry, free to attack some s that may be dear to some 3 but only that, without any embarrassment or friction, 1 may be free to affirm those great positive AP h principles of the that T know full well t rds and wil that T have worn eleeve. For that reason, I add to my brethren in the presbyt ¢ Chicago and to you alone. To all my friends in the T send greetings and assurances of to the end cease to be an occasion presbytery esteem, Tespect and affection, and that my of views may disturbance in the presbytery nimous vote to erase my name from ery and to permit me to demit my in the Presbyterian church Request May Be Denied. At the conclusion of the reading of the letter, a motion to refer it to a committee of three for_ consideration was a and Dr. J. G. K. McClure, president Lake Forest University: Dr. William T Notman of the Fourth Church and Dr. W Church named, Dr. Merrick Johnson, presiden MecCormick Theolorical Seminary, wh had been named. vithdrawing on the round that he already expressed his Hpin- on in favor of the acceptance of Dr. Hil- lis’ resignation. The committee spent some time in discussing the letter and fin- ally decided to ask for two weeks in which to consider the matter before mak- ing any recommendation and the request was granted by a unanimous vote. Although none of the members of the committee would express an opinion as to the probable recommendation to be made, many of the ministers present stated they did not favor allowing Dr. Hillis to demit, as his opinfons on certain Presbyterian doctrines were not confined to himself, and that therefore erasure of his name trom the rolls of the Presbyterian church opposed. Such action, stated, would be regarded in a way as favorable to Dr. Hillls, as it would allow were o him to become a preacher of the Congre- | ational Church without doctrinal exam- nation.

JEROME, Ariz., April 2—The <ity is al- most depopulated of its inhabitants to- | day.

A special vestibuled train carrying a number of New York Central Railroad | | Company engineers and their families ar- rived late yesterday afternoon at the Oak- | land mole, and an hour later the excur- sionists were safely housed at the St.| Nicholas Hotel and Russ House and at private houses. There are 140 people in the party, and they are out for a good time. The directors of the New York Central Rallroad gave the engineers a month's holiday, gave them a train made | up of sleeping and dining cars and made arrangements with the several roads over which they were to travel to_ haul the | train. The only expense to the excur- slonists is the cost of their board en route. The garty left Buffalo, N. Y., on March 20, and proceeded first to New Orleans and then over the Santa Fe to Los An- geles. At each terminal point they were royally entertained by brotherhood peo- ple and speclal excursions to local points of interest got up for them. They saw everything there was to be seen and have had a fine time. The excursionists will remain here four days and then proceed eastward to Og- den and over the Rio Grande to Denver, visiting Ch#€ago on their way home. The local brotherhood has taken the visitors in hand. Last night reception committees called at the various hotels and took the Easterners out to see the sights. To-day | there will be an excursion on the bay and a general good time. There will be a | general reception later and more side ex- cursions.
