The Associated Press correspondent,
though saying nothing regarding the

an indication of the amount of the food

GENERAL KUROPATKIN
LEAVES FOR HOME,

St. Petersburg, March 1S.-A dis
patch from Changtufu reports that
Gen. Kuropatkin left there last night
for St. Petersburg. Gen. Kuropatkin,
the old idol of the private soldier, has
been dismissed and disgraced, and Gen.
Linevitch commander of the first army,
is appointed to succeed him in COM
mand of all the Russian land and sea
forces operating against Japan. The
word disgrace is written in large let
ters in the imperial order gazetted,
which contains not single word of
praise. and also disposes of the rumor
that Kuropatkin had ask ed to be re-
lieved.
The Russian military annals contain
no more bitter imperial rebuke. While
it was known that the war council had
already decided to supplant Kuropat-
kin after the Mukden disaster, the de.
cision to confer the task of saving the
remainder of the army on Linevitch
in the very midst of its flight, although
bruited last night, came as a surprise.
Emperor Nicholas determined that
the step was necessary when it became
apparent yesterday that Kuropatkin,
while concentrating for stand at Tie
pass, seemed unaware that the Japan
ese had worked around westward again
and practically allowed himself to be
surprised. Old reports brought by Gen
Grippenberg regarding Kuropatkin's
failing mentally also had influence.
Although Gen. Kuropatkin's down.
fall was inevitable from a military
standpoint, it arouses sympathy in cir
cles familiar with the long campaign
that has been waged against him by
the general staff.
Gen. Linevitch is distinctly a line
officer, with long record as fighter
He is almost as cordially disliked by
the general staff as was his predecess-
or, and there is also bad blood between
Kuropatkin and Linevitch dating from
personal quarrel in the days when
Kuropatkin was commander of the
witch to demand satisfaction. Kuro-
patkin assumed the position that he
could not fight an officer of inferior
rank. The succession of this officer
would naturally increase Gen. Kuro-
patkin's discontinue.
London, March IS "A St. Peters
burg dispatch to the Times says Gen.
Linevitch's appointment to succeed
Gen. Kuropatkin was decided on at the
last moment becauses all the generals
Emperor Nicholas consulted declined
to assume the heavy burden.

CANNON EXCOMMUNlCATED.
Mormon Hierarchy Refuses to ALLOW
Him to Prove Charges.

Salt Lake, Utah, March 15.-The
controversy of former United states
Senator Frank J. Cannon, editor of the
Salt Lake Tribune, with the authori-
ties of the Mormon church, an Incl
dent of which was the withdrawal of
fellowship from Mr. Cannon 10y
th6 bishops court at Ogden, has re-
suited in a formal order from the high
council of the Weber stake of Zion in
Utah, sitting in Ogden, excommuni-
eating Mr.. Cannon from the church
The action was based on editorials
written by Editor Cannon assailing the
policy of the high authorities of the
church
Mr.. Cannon, protesting against the
jurisdiction of the tribunal which tried
him under charges of apostacy and dis
loyalty to the church, admitted the
authorship of the editorials complained
of, and insisted that he should be per-
mitted to prove the assertions he had
made. This point the ecclesiastical
court refused to concede and the orders
of disfellowship and accommodation
followed.
Coincident with the excommunica.
ton of Editor Canon was the filing of
charges against Charles A. Smurth-
waite, a merchant of Ogden and Nor.
mon of influence, summoning him be.
fore the bishops court to answer for
alleged rebellious utterances against
the authorities of the church, and par
ticularly against President Joseph F..
Smith.
Mr.. Smurthwaite, basing his action
upon the Cannon case, has addressed
to his bishop an appeal for free speech,
demanding also that the church retire
from political domination of the state
and from commercialism, demanding
an accounting at the next general con.
ference in April for all the church
moneys, demanding an accounting of
the property Of President Smith, since
he became president, and demanding
also that members of the church obey
the laws of>the land.

The Bruen Home.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Permit me to correct some ideas that are
prevalent in the public mind respecting the
pecuniary support received by the Bruen
Home for Children. located at 436 NJ street
northwest. At a certain meeting held re-
Gently In Calvary Baptist Church, where a
friend of this home rose and requested a
share of the contributions taken up to be
awarded to this home. gentleman objected
on the ground that, as he stated, the home
for destitute children was already heavily
endowed by the late Mrs. a. NJ. Bruen.
This gentleman is in error.
Again, in the same church, on another
occasion. II was stated that the Bruen
Home was practically supported by Calvary
Baptist Church. This is also an error
Again, an article recently appeared in one
OF our daily papers. stating that over 100
women Were cared for in this home; that
the work was being conducted much on
the lines of the Florence Crittenden Home
This Is also an error.
In the first place, aside from the interest
of 500 annually derived from legacy, and
aside from one-half the rent being prom
ised, and therefore regarded as secure for
the present, the support OF the home as
Tar as money Is concerned, IS derived en-
tirely from the money paid us by those who
send children to this home. The home is
IN no way endowed.
In the second place, Calvary Baptist
Church In no sense and in no manner prac-
ticaity supports the home. We wish to ac-
knowledge many gifts from that church,
however, and many kind friends have we
there.
In the third place there are not over
eleven women In the home, and nine of
these are mothers OF children cared for by
us. No woman Of known immoral life, past
