The Bev, Edgar W. Work, one of the
meet prominent Presbyterian ministers of
Hty York, said In speaking of this com
mittee and Its work, that much depended
ft' tho personnel of this body, saying "there
wtll be no politics about how tho commltteo
M selected, but there may bo about who Is
elected."
,, of New York, realise that the Ynat
''Hit Of ousting the FreBbytcry of New York
from the General Assembly depends on the
personnel of this commltteo," he said. "It
the men on It aro friendly to New York tho
vertures sent to tho General Assembly will
fce laid on tho table.. If, on the other hand,
they aro not, the overtures will likely b
submitted to the delegates and then, of
course, no ono can foretell what tho result
wtll be."
Presbyterians assembling here today do
'not hesltato to say conditions havo reached
climax; that something must bo done it
thefwork of tho Church Is to continue. Many
'reeont the attitude of tho Presbytery of
New York In licensing young men who do
not bclle,ve In thp Virgin Birth and other
miracles of tho Blblo to preach. Thoy Bay
the. very foundations of tho Church nr'o
being undermined by such action.
"For this reason, the selecting of tho
Moderator of tho 128th Annual General
Assembly Is of more Importance, than' at
any previous session, according to church
authorities, who feet that the strongest man
possible should be selected for the place.
Thei retiring Moderator, Dr. J.' Boss Stevj
:ensori,. wll deliver the opening sermon to
morrow morning, at 10:30 o'clock. Tho
election will take, place In tho afternoon
'and the new Moderator will take his seat
Immediately and preside through the rest
of-the General Assembly.
Factional divisions and geographical pref
erences will be forgotton for tho first time
In tho history of the Assembly. All men
are looking- for tho man, forgetting whether
he halls from tho East, West, North or
South. So far 'there are six possibilities.
These were made publ(c today.
The only Pennsylvania man being-considered
for moderator Is tho Rev. ' W. L..
McEwan, of Pittsburgh, .byt; although he
1b an unusually strong man, his selection
bohaldered 'doubtful, because he has hnxn
nominated ones, before. Other: men men
tioned for thO' position of moderator are!
Tho Rev. Dr.jJohn A. llarqulB, Cedar Rap
ids, IOwa, president of Coo College, a Pres
byteriah Institution ; the Bev. Dr. Hugh
Relief Walker, First . Church, Long Bench,
Cal., and tho Rev. Rr. Henry G. Swcar
ingen, House of Hops, SU Paul, Minn. All
of these are commissioners to the Oeneral
Assembly.
Two other men, the Rev, Dr, Cornelius
M. Stcffcns, president of the Dubuque
Theological Seminary for Foreigners, Du
buque, la., and the Rev. Dr. Samuel S.
Palmer, Broad Street Church. Columbus,
O., who It was thought wpuld enter the
race., are not eligible, because they are not
commissioners this year. .Doctor Steffens
was nominated last year at Rochester, and
Doctor Palmer was nominated three years
ago, at Atlanta. Ga.
Opinion Is divided as to the advisability
f filling the position of permanent clerk of
tha Assembly, made vacant by the death of
the Bev. William B. Noble, D.D., LUD.,
lnce the last session. Some Synods havo
ortt overtures advising the abolition of the'
orace of assistant clerk, and tho election of
the present assistant, the Bev. James M.
Hubbert, as permanent clerk. Others have
their favorites picked for the oflco and say
nothing about tho abolition of nny oMIce

DISCOUNT SPY THEORY
IN AUSTRIAN'S DEATH
Contlntml frnm t'ose Omj
home about two and n'half years ago. Ho
remained, there about a year and then went
to Baltimore and ClnrkHburg, W. Vn. He
was abRent about six monthn and then re
turned here. He went to board with a fam
ily named Simons, at Cornwells, about two
weeks ago.
Delirocsenl's employers said today they
placed no bollef whatever In the report that
he was a spy.
Dobreczenl. who was 28 years old. was
nccompnrilcd by Adolph Heldeman, employed
In tho omeo of the main factory of Schuttc A
tCocrtlng, at 12th and Thompson streets,
this city, when ha took his fatal canoeing
trip.
As he was leaving the houso the young
Hungarian turned to tho Simons family
group and said:
"If I don't come back be sure anil search
for me."
About 9 o'clock that night Samuel 8,:u
bert nnd Joseph D. Bice, members of a rtsh
Ing club, heard cries that enmo from the
river. Thoy rowed otit and found an up
turned canoo with Heldeman struggling
near It. Bice rushed over nnd gfipulcd
With Heldeman, who Is over six feet tnll
nnd weighs 225 pounds. Ho managed to
hold the man as his comrado rowed to
shore.
Thero Heldeman told of the death of his
friend. He said that Debreezcnl had sunk
to tho bottom llko a stonn without onto
coming to tho surface. Blco says that
Holde told him that the nrm of Schutln &
Ivocrtlng would see to It that ho was never
In wnnt for the rest of his llfo for rescuing
him (Heldeman). Tho latter was extremely
anxious about a camera he nnd left nt tho
Simons home. He wob refused this nnd
other effects, as members of the family
said they would release nothing until they
had been ordered to do so by tho Coroner.
Deputy Coroner Rue was called to Corn
wells from hia homo In Bristol, flvo miles
distant. He oxnmlncd Heldeman briefly,
nnd tha man returned to this city tho fol
lowing day
Bice nnd Shuhert dragged tho Delaware
Blver for tho body and recovered It shortly
before midnight Saturday. It was turned
over to the Deputy Coroner, who had It re
moved to Bristol.
TOLD OF ABBEST.
According to statements made yesterday
by Mr. Simons and his daughter Adelaide,
the young Hungarian told them that he
had beeh arrested by Government ngcntn
in Charleston, S. C. All of his lettcru wore
written In either Gorman or Hungarian
Deputy Coroner Buo had some translated,
nnd four wuro signed "Rltter."
'"Tliifio Iftttprs, bearing. tfi'tlclal senls. rpfiT
to; thp mobilization of Austrian army troops.
It -wbW sold In - Urlstol that Government
agents had said that tho "Bitter" referred
to Was F W. Bitter, who was arrested In
.Clevclnnd following the LUBltonln cases,
nijd who made charges about bombs bolng
placed on ships.
The1 effects of Debrcczenl consisted of a
trunk and a large Gladstone, bag contain
ing clotlies, a box and a large envelope
containing papers and letters in Gorman
and Hungarian, a camera, ?10 In'' currency,
140 "In postal savings bnnk notes, a dia
mond stickpin and an Iron ring.
The Simons family was astounded to
hear that Debrcfjonl should havo drowned
so easily. They said he told them that ho
often swam the Danubo In his nntlve coun
try. He was short In stature, but well
built.
The Simons family also was astounded to
learn that Holdemnn had told the Coroner
that ho did not know D'obrcczenl woll and
did not know his, first name. According to
Mr. Simons and his daughter, Debreczent
and Heldeman chatted In 'familiar fashion
at dinner, os it thoy had known each other
for years.
FEDEBAL. AGENTS INVESTIGATE.
It was reported unreservedly In Corn
wells last night that for months Federal
agents had visited that place and made
many Inquiries concerning tho Schutta &
Koertlng plant, which Is described as a
branch establishment, used mostly for tho
tostlng of water condensers for ships, which
the firm manufacturers.

NEWSPAPERS APPROVE
LOAN BILL'S PASSAGE
Editorials liail Voto for Im
prpvements na Forward Step.
TnyloV Conipllmenlcd
. .... fc .
Philadelphia newspnpers, as a Unit, com
mnd tho notloh of the cllhtens In voting
overwhelmingly for the loan bills.
The Inquirer, In an cdltorln), says that
the citizens have placed Philadelphia on
the ''Highway of l'rdgresa." It rtgrets tho
fActlonal differences that threatened for n,
time to becomo serious obstacles to tho
further development of civic necessities.
The opposition, It saJ'S, "was In a measure
entirely honest, arising from a fear of ln
crenscd taxation. Soma of It," It continues,
"was based on a feeling of disgust bccaUsO
of the political methods resorted to by the
Mayor. The factional spilt over tho loans
wi disgusting, and tho Mayor cannot
escape responsibility for bringing It about.
Ho should havo known no poll'lcs In office
and kept his skirts clean of all suspicion
of fnctjonnllam. Then, Indeed, would a
united citizenship have stood sturdily be
hind tho problems of development nnd
brooked no delay.
"But tho contest Is over nnd progress has
won. Since It has won, let no man stand
In Its way."
Another editorial In the same Issue adds
"to tho mountain of congratulations" that
will be heaped this morning on former Tran
sit Director Taylor.
The Press, commenting on the triumph
of the loan, snyss
"Its approval by a voto of tho people la
a cause for general rejoicing. It means n
now and greater Philadelphia, a city more
attractive and satisfying to live In, a city
capable of handling enslly nnd cheaply a
larger commerce and a greater trade. It
means renl rapid transit ntid a large and
rnpld development of tho city north and
south.
"Its npprovnl," It continues, "Is a- trlbuto
to tho Intelligence of tho voters who could
not bo persuaded to do their city a great
harm by dofeatlng the loan merely to grat
ify the factlonnl animosity of some political
lenders or to plcnse thoso whoso personal
interests hnppened In tho enso to he op
posed to tho best good of the city."
Tho Bulletin, after voicing the opinion
that "the adoption of tho loan bills Is a
matter of satisfaction to citizens who be
lieve that these measures as a whole aro
essorttlftl to the welfare and development
or their" city," rayst
, "The vote of the people irt the luHlorH?;
tlon of these loans Is Intelligent and public
spirited. It does not represent nt lAdorse
tnent of a faction br of the administration.
it Is, rather, an approval of the loans on
their own merits and purposes.
"Ono of the best tilings, In frtet tho very
best thing, that could happen In the. light
of that approval jvould bo a' resolute de
termination ori the part of Mayor Smith
to extiioits himself entirely from factional
ism for the resf of his term and to. shape
such o. policy for the expenditure of tho netf
loans as will bo thoroughly In rtccdrd with
the broad nnd hon-fnctlonnl spirit of the
people In sanctioning this extraordinary Use
of tho city's credit."
TRANSIT AND GENERAL
' LOAN SWEEP CITY
Continued from l'nre One
against either lonn, They defeated It in
only four out of tho 48 wards, and It was
tho worst defeat they havo ever suffered.
"MoNlehol was able lo return a rnaJor-
lly of only 1000 against it In his own ward.
Scgor. who usually piles up big majorities
against tonns ho opposes, also was nblc to
get only 1000 majority against them. Harry
Trainer, whose ward usually gives 2000 ma
jority ngalnst anything Trainer opposes,
gave only 700 ngalnst tho loans, Penroso's
own ward, tho 8th, also want against It,
but It was with a much smaller majority
than usual. They could not nlop tho transit
loan, especially, because tho people wanted
It."
OAFFNEY TELLS OF PLANS
Chairman Joseph P. Gnffncy, of Coun
cils' Finance Committee, said:
"Tho pnssago of tho loan bills by the
peoplo Is nothing moro thnn nn Indica
tion of their will to Incrcaso tho city's
Indebtedness. Wo must now pass tho
bills first In Common Council and then
at a separata meeting of Select Council.
It Is not probnblo that tho otnclnl returns
will bo In before May 18, which lo the
data of tho next meeting of Common Coun
cil. Therefore, we will havo to wait until
Juno 1 to Introduce tho bills Into Common
Council. Following their Introduction
Into Common Council they must bo ad
vertised for four weeks, making It possl
bio to pnss them In Common Council the
first week In July. A week must elnpso
hoforo they aro taken to Select, therefore
It will bo tho second week In July heforo
tho bills can bo ratified by both hrnnches.
It will not bo before August 1 that tho
money Is available. However, wo are
going to stick at It until everything Is
pnMed through Councils If it M
summer."
TWINING IN FAVOB OF PLANS.
Transit Director William B. ? wlnn to
day Issued a statement announcing that the
work will proceed as rapidly ns possible
i-., j.a,.i.,j ir,t t, la iiiitt-lllV In favor of
the construction of each line as planned.
The statement from tho Transit Director
folIOWS! . . . I ,. ,
The cltlscns of Philadelphia by l their
vote have given their approvnj to tho com
prehensive plAns for transit development.
They have empowered Councils to htithorlze
tho Mayor to borrow the sum of $6;,100,000
for tho rapid transit lines specifically Ifncrt
tloned In tho loan ordinance.
As I have previously stated, I am heartily
In favor of tho construction of each and
every ono of the lines which havo now
been authorized by tho citizens.
Tho amount of construction work nnd
tho speed with which It mny be carried out
depends entirely upon councllmanlo action
in preparing' nnd passing the necessary
enabling brdlnancca so that the Department
of City frnnslt mny bo In a position to
prepare plans for nil work authorized.
AS far as this department Is concerned,
thero will bo no delay In putting under
contract any and all construction work dcs
Ignatcd by Councils. The amount of loan
funds which can ho put uhder contract
for the remainder of 1016 depends entirely
on what rapid transit Unci may be author
ized by Councils. It will require moro

Things that were impossible yester
' day are today's accomplished facts.
Somewhere in the world someone with
special knowledge, special experience,
special equipment, gets ready and then
startles the world by accomplishing the
seemingly impossible.
Almost everyone said that a complete
automobile of beautiful design, fine finish,
the ideal small, light, economical car, built
with quality materials and absolutely
completely equipped,- could not be built
to sell for $615.
And but for Overland special knowl
edge, special experience and special equip
ment, it probably would still be one of the
impossibilities instead of an accomplished
fact.
Probably no other organization in the
world can produce. the quality and effici
ency equal of this car to sell at anywhere
near so low a price.
Certain it is that no other organization
is doing so.
People of longautomobileexperience
People who never before owned a car
All find in the small, light $615 Over
land their ideal car.
It has the beauty, comforts, conveni
ences, power and complete equipment
which everyone wants.
Yet it is inexpensive to buy and eco
nomical to operate.
See the Overland dealer and get ac
quainted with this car.
But act now, as this car stands alone
and the rush to own them is amazing
delayed action is almost sure to mean a
long wait for delivery.
