said in pasging sentence on Ashley.
The Ashley has been one of the
hardest contested legal Ibattles In the

time. The prosecution introduced
testimony to show that Policeman
Hughes had disarmed himself a short
time before Ashley fired, handing his
gun to- Chief of Police Page, who was
disarmed by . two of Ashliey's frlends.
The defendant pleaded self-defense,
claiming that he had shot after the
policeman had cursed lin and shoved
him back, reaching for his gun as lie
did so. )cfenso witnesses also ten
illied Chief 'Page Ilicked lulighes' gun
from the nidewalk, and that it had
not been given to .Pape by Hughes.

COMPANY
WOMEN'S RIGHTS UP
TO PRESBYrERIES'
r*
They Must Decide Whether Women a
.$ihall Become Deacons, Assembyq
'Decides.
Whiona Lake, Ind., May 20.-Scrip
tural quotations were passed back and
forth today as the commissioners to
t'ic 133rd general assembly of the
Presbyterian church in t-he United
States attempted to establish how
much of a part women are to be given
in ecclesiastical government, A deci
sion was finally reached 'to allow the
Presibyteries of the church to take a
referendum vote on the question ot
allowing women to be Installed a.
deacons, an office hitherto held only
iby men. The vote will be reported
at the net general asseibly.
T'he proposal that wonen be permit
ted to fill the office of deacon brought
a protest from Reverend Abraham, of
Chester, Penn. He quoted from te
book of Acts, in which he said the
t'vcilve apostles, in calling for the ap
poinitm.ent of deaconls, gave this in
Junction to the disciples: "Look ye
out, therefore, :breth rcn, from among
s.Ven men of good report, fill] of the
spirit and wisdom you may appoint
over thIs business."
"We have this for our guard, breth
ren," declared Reverend bathoni, "an
I bolieve we should stick pretty close
to toe Good 'Book."
A generous round of -applause greet
ed this quotation, but inmediatlely
there was counter--quotation from a
commissioner who found his inspira
tion in the book 'of Romans. Tle qruot
ed: "I commend unto you, Phoebe,
our* sister, who is deaconess of the
church that is at Conchreae, that ye
receive hler' in the Lord. 'worthily of
the saints, and that ye assist her in
whatsoever matter she may have need
of you. For she herself also hath been
the helper of many and of mine own
self."
Cheers greeted the quotation and a
tribute by 'Reverend David Hughes of
Baltimore, to the deaconess in his
church, brought ringing shouts of ap
probation.
The vote followed authorizing the
referendum vote on the granting of
the additional power to women in the
church governplent. Last year 'a
Presbyterial vote on an overture op
posing a change in the constitutional
government of .the church so that wo
men might 'be eligible to vote the
oiees of elder and deacon showed a
defeat for the overture.
