Turkeys Objections Said to Have
Been withdrawn.
1t was reported today that the porte had
Withdrawn its objections to the appoint
ment Of DR.. Angel as United States min
lister to Turkey. and that the latter had
arranged to start for his post In a few
days. The report could not be verified at
the State Department. Secretary Sher-
man and Assistant Secretary Day each
stated that he had no knowledge of such
action on the part Of the Turkish authort-
ties.
Specific denial was made Of the state
ment that Minister Terrell had informed
the department that the objections to MIR.
Angel had been withdrawn, but 1t was
admitted that the Turkish minister here
might have received advices to that ef-
feet from his own government without as
yet having communicated the fact to the
State Department.
It Is understood that the main objection
to Minister Angel was that he was sup
posed to belong to. 2 church which had
been active in converting the sultan's SUBJ
jects to the Christian religion and in that
way putting them In antagonism to the
Turkish government. In refutation Of this
theory. 1t Is stated. the Secretary of State
an active church worker. he would not
in his position as the diplomatic represen-
tative Of the United States have anything
to do with purely religious questions nor
would he be permitted to interfere In the
political affairs Of the Ottoman empire.
Notwithstanding the technical denials Of
the officials Of the State Department. there
ton recently instituted into Mr.. Angelrs 8
record on the Turkish question has salts
fed the borte that Mr.. Angel had been
misrepresented In the matter.

ment. Cement, until recently. was not

able as applicable to the particular case at
issue In previous cases, said the court II
had been shown that cement was beneficial.
rather than detrimental, to asphalt nave
ment. Prosecuting Attorney Pugh argued
persistently in support of the regulation.
