The Judge Advocate General OF the
War Department yesterday sent TO the
President a memorandum Of the case of
John L. Lennon, private in the army.

This is the result of Mr.. Sullivan's
call on the President last week to inter

by court martial at Camp Thomas.
Cuba. early in the year of desertion and
sentenced to dishonorable dismissal. for
feiture of all pay and allowances. and
Imprisonment for one year.
1t is the understanding that the Pres

of Imprisonment that remains and set
Lennon at liberty. He has not the
power to remove the charge Of deser-
tiOn or set aside the verdict of the
court-martial. which has been executed.
The charge of desertion which Mr.. Sui

ONE JUROR NOW LACKING
Talesmen Called at Boise Plead
Varied Excuses.
Farmers and Ranchers Tell of Sick
Wives and Ailments so Keep Away
from Haywood Trial.

Boise, May 3-Thepe were 10 more
jurors chosen for the Haywood murder
trial to-day When the court opened at
2 O'Clock this afternoon, the courtroom
was pretty well filled with the talesmen.
The great majority Of them were farmers,
ranchers, or fruit-growers from the rural
district. Eleven have been chosen, but
several Of these will no doubt be excused.
As soon as Judge Fremont Wood took
the bench a deputy brought Haywood
from his cell downstairs. He seemed in
different.
Judge Wood opened proceedings by ask
ing if any Of the talesmen had legal ex-
cuses for not serving. About thirty Of
them thought they had, and proceeded to
give them. A sick wife was the most
popular excuse, and it generally went
through successfully.

SCIENTISTS HOLD CHURCH
VIII Not Release Plymouth Trustees
from Rent Contract.
Claim DeacOns' Request Came Toe
LHte-Gen. HOratiO c. King
Uses a Harsh Term.

Brooklyn, \. Y, May f3.-The Chris
tian Scientists of Brooklyn have won a
victory over the congregation Of Plym-
outh Church. The lecture on Christian
Science, the Religion of the Bible" ad-
vertised to be given in Plymouth
Church next Thursday evening, will be
delivered as per schedule.
II is not that Plymouth Church or its
pastor, DR.. Hills. .indorses Christian Sci
euce, but because a cancellation Of the
contract now would be a violation Of a
business obligation. The Christian Sci
entists' organization has refused 20 sac
rihce any OF its rights under the con-
tract and Plymouth Church must be
satisfied with having registered a strong
protest against the action Of the trus-
tees in renting the edifce 10 Mrs
Eddy's followers.
The Christian Science representative
said that II Plymouth Church had eX-
pressed a desire to cancel the contract
at any time previous 20 last Wednes-
day. or even on that day. there would
have been no difficulty. Since then.
however. an expense Of several hundred
dollars had been incurred for advertis-
ing, printing and incidental expenses.
Seven Of the nine trustees and Dr.
Hills agreed that it would be dlshon-
orable TO repudiate the agreement made
with Deacon White and the Christian
Scientists
"The Christian Scientists will not re-
lease US" said Gen. Horatio c. King
clerk Of Plymouth Church in announcing
the outcome Of the negotiations We
must stand by our contract No further
efforts Will be made 20 stop the lecture
Il is most unfortunate affair. but We
have accomplished in our opposition one
thing. We have established before the
world that Plymouth Church is opposed
TO Christian Science. as it IS opposed 10 all
other humbuEs"
DR.. Hills has left for a lecture tour
In the West He refused 20 make any
statement about the controversy before
his departure

MIDDIES IN "SILENCE" PRANK
Whole Battalion Punished for Dis
respect to Officer.
Offenders Restricted to Academy
Grounds for Indefinite Period
as Result of Escape.

| Annapolis. Nd, May 13-Much comment
has been heard at the Naval Academy
during the last few days over a prank
Iperpetrated by one Of the battalions of
the brigade Of midshipmen upon an Off
Ger of the department Of discipline. who
was given silence" at the mess table.
This silence" the midshipmen regard
as the only way that they can even up a
difficulty with their superlors. and. in
fact. it is regarded as disrespectful The
middies, while they carried out the Joke
to the end, have been punished for il.
The matter was subsequently reported 10
the governing officials Of the institution
with the result that the offenders have
been restricted 20 the Academy grounds
for an indefinite period.
According 10 the story, the Silence"
was given at supper on Thursday after
noon last. and that Lieut. Charles 3. Ne
Way was the victim Of the affair. The
term silence" seems rather vague but
il has been applied by the nidshipuen
when they eat a meal without speaking
word 60 one another throughout the
whole time. This was the nature Of
Thursday afternoons occurrence. 1t IS
said that the officer in question took of
fensa at such disrespect and felt deter
mined to break the silence. In this con-
nection, so the story goes, the officer dis
missed the well-behaved battalion from
the mess hall at the usual time after sun
per and kept the others waiting there for
a period Of an hour or more. and that
the stubbornness of the middies finally
won out.
Although deprived Of their usual liber-
ties outside of the Academy for an in
definite period. the midshipmen regard
tho whole affair as a huge joke. II is
said that higher official of the Academy
stated that the officer should have paid
no attention to the prank of the middies.

| The Commercial Tribune. which is con-
sidered as Senator Forakers organ here;
printed a special from Washington this
morning giving Senator Forakers latest
statement That newspaper commented
on it as follows: 1.-The politicians here
think the President has made a grave
mistake.
AS far as Secretary Taft is concerned,
they do not hold him responsible for any
personal i'll feeling toward Foraker.
His campaign is being managed and
directed by the President. and Taft him
self has little TO say about H.
The President seems 10 realize fully
that Taft owes his present pre-eminence
in Ohio not TO himself. but to the popu-
larity Of the President, who is his hacker.
Therefore, he feels at liberty to direct
all OF Taft's moves on the Ohio checker
board"

organ Of the Democrats and Independ-
ents. or Roosevelt Republicans" IN the
campaign two years ago. that resulted in
the complete overthrow Of the George B.

Taft TO resume his stand as declared in

Senator throws Ohio into a factional
fight, and the Taft boom will be retarded
inevitably in other States
These rivals also claim that the Sec
retary's workers in Ohio are now plainly
allies Of George Cox, the Cincinnati boss.
and that this will be used to the Secre-
tary's detriment.
Cox himself is represented as disturbed
over the present status. He had a long
distance telephone conversation with
Senator Foraker Monday in which he
urged the Senator not TO give out his
defiant statement. Mr.. Foraker is now
out against Cox, and that is said 70 aug
ment the Senator's strength in Cincin-
natl where Cox wants to win the com
ing municipal campaign.
Although Secretary Taft's Republican
opponents are proclaiming that he is n.--
farther away from the nomination than
he was before the Cox pact for the SUP
port Of Charles 2. Taft was arranged. the
Secretary is not worrying over the new
turn Of events. He remains uncommu-
nicative for publication, but assures those
who are in his confidence that he is hold
ing aloOf from the Ohio family quarrel.
and Is standing just where he has been
all along-refusing 20 have anything to do

ANSWERS DESERTION RUMOR.
Commander Usher Denies Reports
of Wholesale Departures.

Commander a. B. Usher, Of the cruiser
St Louis. who was at the Navy Depart
ment yesterday, denied the reports of
wholesale desertions by the crew Of that
vessel The St. Louis is now at the New
York Navy Yard making ready for a
cruise around Cape Horn to join the sec
ond squadron Of the Pacific feet The
desertions, he said. had been few, and
those had grown out Of the dissausfac-
ton over an order forbidding card play
ing.
Commander Usher explained that the
practice of gambling had increased and
to prevent 1t he suspended the game.
He explained that there were only sew
enty absenteeS, without leave, OF a crew
of $50, and he expects that most, If not
all, of these will report for duty before
the vessel starts on her cruise.
