SMURTHWAITE is DISFELLOWSHIPPED
Bishops Court Finds Ogden Man Guilty of Apostasy and TN
christianIke Conduc-BeeVed That High Council
Will Formally ExcOmmuncate Him in April!

findings were based on grounds similar
10 those outlined in The Herald of this
morning.
From an authoritative source it was
learned that there was some iuclina-
ton to consider Mr. Smurthwaite's de
mand that the charges be made more
specific, but he not being present, the
biShOpric could take no other action
than to go ahead on the assumption
that the charges were sufficiently spe-

was learned that the regular meeting
of the council viii be held April and
the charges could not he brought before
that body until such time unless a spe-
cial meeting We're to be called for that
purpose. He did not think that there
would be. After the high council re-
ceives the charges, notices VIII then be
issued to Mr.. Smurthwaite notifying
him of their contents and setting time
when he may appear to show cause why
he should not be communicated. Wit

the showing made by Mr.. SmuTthwaite

the minds of those members of the

procedure in such cases but that Mr..

Mr.. SmUrthwaite was also asked
what he proposed 10 do about the mat
ter, and stated that he had not yet out
lined his plan, but that he would Ger
tainly make resistance.
1t was generally considered that the
charges made against Mr.. Goddard by
Mr.. Smurthwaite and formally filed
with the bishOpTic will be ignored, and
Mr.. Smurthwaite will be notified that
they were not brought in accordance
with the rules laid down for such "A
proceeding. These rules provide that
before bringing charges the brother
bringing them must show that he has
gone TO the offending brother and en-
deavored TO settle the difficulty.

RED CROSS WORK.
Thousands of Refugees Fed Since the
Battle of Mukden.

NcNychuauE. March 25.-Since the
battle or Mukden. the Chinese Red
cross has been feeding 1000 refugees.
Thousands of them are housed at Sin
lGintiu. Mukdeu and Lao Yang. Many
fdrmerS OF the LAO Yang district are
still dependent on relief. Since the be
ginning of the relief work, the Red
Cross has expended $4,000 on grain
alone. The railroad has transported
over 10000 refugees inside the great
wall. owing to the approach OF warm
weather the farmers are going TO their
homes. but they are I'm want of materi-

Eight hospitals are devoted 10 the care
OF the sick and wounded Chinese. of
which four are at Mukden. and one.
the most northern at Kayyuan. It is
probable that others will be established.
only n few Chinese were injured dur

summer TaVageS Of disease are feared
owing to the fact that thousands Of
bodies OF the dead lie buried too near

. ARTS. March 25.-In an official dis
patch from Caracas, Venezuela,
says President Castro, who was
absent from the capitol during the re-
cent amelioratiOn of the situation, has
returned and has manifested strong
hostility against American and French
interests His attitude, it is added, is
particularly menaCing against the
French Cable company. 1t is prema-
ture to say what, steps France Will
take, rs the information has Just been
received and the officials have not had
an opportunity to consider it. How
ever, it is likely that their action will
depend upon President Castro putting
his menaceS jnto effect by overt acts
against the company or the forfeiture
OF its concessions No orders for war
ships 10 be held in readiness have yet
been issued or are contemplated for
the present, but there seems TO be q
growing impression in official quarters
that the presence of a warShip in Nene-
zuelan waters might exercise salutdTy
influence.
The official dispatch adds that Presi-
dent CastrO's declination to arbitrate
the American demands was accOmpan-
led by Il refusal to hold any CONVEX
Sation on the subject. The French
Cable company has received ddviceS
practically to the same effect. These
indicate that President CaStro's inffu-
ence viii probably cause the court to
render final judgment upon the Cable
company's concession early next week.
1t is the unofficial opinion that the
attitude of President Castro against
both American and French interests
makes the moment opportune for some
exchange of communications between
the two governments towards eventual
action along similar lines

SERIOUS BLOW TO THE AMERICANS
Action of the Newfoundland Government in Revolving Bait Pur
chasing Privileges Enjoyed by United States Fishermen
Will Result in Hardship.

HALIFAX. n. S, March 25.-The bust
ness interests of Halifax, Lunen-
burg and other Nova Scotian ports,
are intensely interested in the situation
which has been created by the New
foundIand government revoking the
bait-purchasing privileges enjoyed by
United states fishermen. Some of the
Nova Scotia newspa pers endorse the
action Of the Newfoundland govern
ment. and place the blame for the pres
ent difficulty upon the fishermen of
Gloucester, Mass, by whose influence,
it is declared. the United States pracfi-
cally nullified a treaty which had been
drawn up by Secretary of State Hay
and Premier Bond of Newfoundland.

who, however, has already declared
that the steamship company is liable.
Mrs. Barnes alleges that while crossing
the ocean on the Minnetonka last No
vember, a man dressed in the uniform
of a ships steward, burst into her state
room. seized a bag containing the jew
enry and disappeared. The Atlantic
Transport company contended that the
form of ticket bought by Mrs. Barnes

arising from theft.

Boston, March 25.-The sentiment of
Boston wholesale fish dealers regard

the revocation of past privileges looks
like a hard blow. A leading dealer said
that while American fishermen could

each some bait on the banks. there
was nothing that enabled d. fisherman
to get a catch so quickly and so large
as the fresh herring bait to be obtained
at Newfoundland.
