WILL TRY CHAPLAIN
Newberry Orders COurt-mar-
tial for Rev. H. w. Jones.
MUST ANSWER TWO CHARGES
Seventeen Specifications Filed Al
Ieging Failure to Pay His Debts.
Man of the Cloth Also Accused of
FalsehOOd in Connection with the
Controversy Over the Note.

Acting Secretary of the Navy Newberry
yesterday issued an order summOning
Chaplain Harry W. Jones, Z. S. N, be-
fore eourt-martial to be tried for scan
dalous conduct to the destruction of good
morals. and on a second charge alleging
falsehood. Under the first charge there
are seventeen separate specifications. and
under the second, one.
Complaint against the chaplain has
been coming into the Navy Department
for long time. but owing to the natural
reluctance of the department to try a
chaplain by court-martial, and, further
more because Of the inability Of the
navy to summon civilian witnesses, the
officer has been dealt with rather lenient-
ly. and every opportunity has been given
him 20 remedy his alleged shortcomings.
Liberal with Checks.
The seventeen specifications in the charge
allege failure TO pay just debts and the
issuance of worthless checks. The COM
plants set forth that Chaplain Jones
carried a checkbook, and whenever
pressed for a claim would draw a check
70 satisfy the creditor. It is charged
that when the checks were presented for
payment it was found that there was no
money in the bank to his credit.
majority Of the checks were given in
favor of merchants In Norfolk Baltimore
and New York. Efforts to induce him to
straighten out these matters and adjust
his debts satisfactorily have failed, and
there has remained nothing for the de-
partment to do but to order his trial by
cOurt-martial.
Charge of FnIsehoOd.
Regarding the second charge of false
hood, it is alleged that Chaplain Jones
drew his note for $, 30. When It was
presented for payment he refused to take
up the note on the ground that the
amount had been raised from 500 TO s.. 90
An examination is said TO have shown
clearly that the full sum. Sl,226, was
plainly in the ehaplain's handwriting and
that no attempt whatever had been made
to tamper with it.
The members Of the court which will try
Chaplain Jones are Capt. Daniel D. V.
Stuart, Capt Alfred Mertz. Capt Charles
Laird, retired. Capt Henry Minett re-
tired, Medical Inspector S. H. Dickson.
Commander H. G. Leopold. retired, Lieut.
Commander Isaac K Seymour. Com.

Washington, June Gin a decision
announced wednesday, the Interstate
Commerce Commission holds that
practically all of the railroads In the
United States are united as part
routes over which through rates ex-
list even when no joint rate has been
established. The decision deals with
the movement Of 100000 pounds
Of sugar held In storage at Omaha,
which was taken into that city before
the existing tariff out Of Omaha and
to the east, went into effect. The
question raised was whether or not
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy rail-
road company might allow sugar stor-
ed in Omaha to 60 forawrd under q
tariff put into effect after the sugar
was stored. The commission holds
that the sugar can not be moved.

SIGNS on PROGRESS.
Direct pssoendent Of ccnfuelus BE-

Monk Takes a Wife.

Pekin. June 10.--The stronghold q
Chinese conservatism has received
a shock. "The Holy Duke Yen" pop,
ularly called 1.-THE Duke Confucius
who is the direct desceudent OF confu'
ciis in the seyenty-sixth generation
has become a liberal. This latest Con-
fucius has created stir by coming
here to oppose the plans Of the govern
ment for memorial college at the
birthplace in shantun province Of his
Illlustrious ancestor, the venerated
sage. The throne ordered this college
to be established for the study Of the
Confucian sacred books, which are the
pillars of all the old school Chinese
learning and the basis Of the old clas-
steal examinations for degrees and Of
fetal rank.
The holy duke" thanked their mai
estes for the honor done his ancestor
but said that the college ought to
teach the modern foreign learning as
well as the classics. He proposed that
the national languages. Chinese Man
chu and Monaghan. foreign languages
the natural sciences and political
science be included In the curriculum
as well as the course mapped out
in the original plans, 1t has been a
sad blow to the conservatives to find
the living representative Of their mas
ter arrayed on the side Of the pro
gressives.
Another sign Of progress equally In
teresting and shocking to the old ira
ditions Is the visit of Count Otani,
the abbot ofsone Of the most famous
Buddhist monasteries in Japan. He
had an audience Of the emperor two
days ago. He is the head of sect
Of reformed Buddhists which tolerates
marriage Of the priesthood and be-
lieves in modern science He has his
countess with him and Is travelling in
an automobile. He is trying to enlist
the Buddhists Of China for a reform
movement.
