NO REFLECTION ON LYON
IN CRUM APPOINTMENT
Charges Against Former Without
Observation-Disclosures Ac-
copied Reluctantly.

The appointment OF William D..
Crum of South Carolina as United
States minister to Liberia involves no
reflection on Ernest Lyon of Maryland,
the incumbent. it was stated at the
State Department today.
1t has been intimated that Mr.. Lyon
was relieved because of charges affect
ing his administration. The principal
complaint was that he has been too
active in religious matters in the Afri-
can republic.
Before his appointment to the diplo-
matte service Mr.. Lyon spent nineteen
years as a minister of the Methodist
Episcopal Church in New York, Balti-
more and Louisiana. He was appointed
minister to Liberia in 1903.
MIR. Lyon resigned his Office said AS
sistant Secretary Wilson today. He has
been in the service little over seven
years and has done some very good
work.
His resignation was accepted with re-
luctance, and with an expression of the
departments appreciation Of his long
service. The acceptance of his resigna-
ton was in the ordinary course and had
nothing whatever to do with the fact
that there have been some charges made
against him.
''These charges are in all essentials
known to the department to be without
foundation. according to reports received
from the commission sent to Liberia.
"Mr. Crum has been nominated as his
successor. Mr.. Lyons resignation be-
comes effective on the arrival of Mr.
Crum at his post. Mr.. Lyon has been
given permission to remain at his post
until that time or to travel on leave OF
absence"

SMITH OF IOWA GIVEN
OVATION BY REGULARS
Great Reception on Floor Of House
for "Standpatter Who Has
Won at Primaries.

Applause, long continued and enthusiast
tic. when Representative Walter I. Smith
entered the House today. greeted the
Iowa standpatter who has won out in the
primaries against the combined Cummins-
Dolliver forces.
The regulars gave Mr.. Smith an ova-
ton. and crowded around him with happy
smiles. 1t was the first time the regulars
had a chance this session to greet con-
quering hero of their own number. They
made the most OF it.
The reception to Mr.. Smith was more
tumultuous than that accorded to Eugene
N. Foss of the fourteenth Massachusetts
district, or to James s. Havens of the
thirty-second New York district, whose
victories over republicans brought joy to
the Insurgents and hope to the democrats.
Representative Smith walked into the
House at noon. The regulars espied him.
After a ringing round of applause they
crowded around him and shook him
warmly by the hand.

HEPBURN is AROUSED
BY POINT OF ORDER
Retaliates When Objection Is Made
to Amendment to Sundry Civil
Appropriation Bill.

Aroused because Senator Hale made
a point of order in the Senate today
against an amendment he proposed to
the sundry civil appropriation bill max
ing an appropriation of 100000 for
public land surveys in Idaho, Senator
Hepburn retaliated by making point
of order against committee amend
ments for special surveys in Nebraska,
Utahfi Oregon and Alaska. thereby pre-
cipitating a spirited conflict with sena-
tors from those states.
Mr.. Hepburn contended for equal treat
ment with other states and made espec-
ial point of the fact that 100000 was
provided in the bill for Montana. Mr..
Carter resented the reference to Mon
tana and said that IL Mr.. Hepburn had
used due diligence before the committee
his states probably would have Jared as
we'll as Montana. In response the Idaho
senator asserted that the bill has been
'railroaded' through the committee.

WILL utilize ARTILLERY
TURKS DETERMINED IN THEIR
INVASION OF ALBANIA.
Campaign Against the Epirotes Is
Likely to Meet Fierce
Resistance.
Foreign Correspondence of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star
ROME. May %, 1910.
Letters received from Athens represent
the situation in Macedonia. Albania and
Epiros as being very precarious. The
murder of an orthodox priest near the
field of Kossovo, the arbitrary con-
demnation of several Greeks at Monastir
and the campaign against the Epirotes OF
Chimera are all regarded as serious
symptoms.
This last incident is likely to provoke
a determined resistance. The China riotes,
who dwell in the "il-famed Acroceraun-
ian mountains" familiar to readers OF
Horace and Shelley, have long been noted
for their hardy spirit of independence.
For years they defied the great Ali
Pasha, the lion of Joannina" The
Young Turks, in their desire to establish
a uniform fiscal system even amonk the
wild tribes of Albania and Epiros. now
insist on the abolition Of the privilege of
exception from ordinary taxes and are
backing their ultimatum by artillery. 1t
is accordingly feared that the Chimari-
otes, whose seven villages are estimated
to contain some 1900 souls, all Chris
tians. will resist, as their ancestors re-
sisted, the famous Pasha of Joannina a
century ago.
The Tribuna commenting on the recrud-
escence of the Cretan question, remarks
that the real fault lies not so much with
the Cretans as with the dilatory and
illogical diplomacy of the great powers.
The Young Turks. adds the semi official
journal, are naturally obliged to show
more firmness than Abdul Hamid III in
upholding the rights OF the Turkish en-
pire, but it would have been possible al
though difficult to overcome their re-
sistance If Germany and Austria Hun
gary had fallen into line with the other
four powers. But ever since 1893 those
two great states have washed their hands
of the Cretan question.

FOSTER CANNOT SERVE.
DEMOCRATIC SENATOR RESIGNS
FROM RAILROAD CONFEREES.
Threat Made to the Senate-Attor.
ney General Has Conference With
Republican Conferees.

A delicate situation has arisen in the
conference over the railroad bill. Senator
Foster, the democratic member of the
Senate conferees, is unable to be present
and has resigned from the conference
committee.
His place will have to be filed some of
the democrats preferring Senator New
lands and others suggesting Senator lay
lor, this difference representing varying
range of conservative and radical opinions
on the railroad bill.
The situation is delicate in the fact that
the threat is still hanging over the Sen
ate of the possibility OF the House con-
ferees going into the house to be dis
charged from further conference and
moving to adopt the Senate bill.
The feeling is very intense in the House,
and it is declared that any attempt on
the part Of the Senate to control the
conference in behalf of ultra conserva-
tive railroad sentiment is likely to result
in an effort to adopt the Senate bill.
Conference With Attorney General.
Attorney General Wickersham was
with the republican members of the
conference committee which is con-
sidering the railroad bill. at an in
formal session this morning
IL is UNDERSTOOD tnat the mead Of the
Department of Justice was called in to
pass upon the legal effect Of some of
the provisions of the Senate and House
bills, to give the conferees clearer
understanding of sections in dispute
and thus to aid to final adjustment
Many points Of dispute, 1t is understood,
were under discussion during the morn
ing.
AS the session broke up and Senators
Elkins and Aldrich came from the con-
ference room. Senators Cummins and
Bristow. the insurgents who locked horns
with the two regulars many times during
the fight over the bill on the floor Of the
Senate, came down the corridor.
I'VE are relying on you. and il you go
back on us remarked Senator BriS-
tow, after there had been shaking of
hands all around.
Il am fighting" Interrupted Mr.. Elkins.
Then he joined the Attorney General to
go to lunch.

LONDON, June l. 1910.
The Star correspondent inquired at the
British Museum today If any steps had
been taken TO preserve in This national
repository cinematograph films of the
unparalleled scenes attendant on the
burial of King Edward. The reply was
made that no cinematograph films of

of such moving scenes that we have
witnessed during the past fortnight has

certain proposals strike the official mind
The first observation when the CORES
pendent had put his question respecting
the cinematograph films was, "Oh, cine

accompanied by solemn shake Of the
head. The correspondent also learned
that the museum has no Photographic
record Of King Edwards voice.

The proceedings were the outcome of

by Howard w. McQuesten, at whose
home Mrs. Ford had found a temporary
refuge yesterday, only to lose it by ap-
pearing on the roof and threatening to
commit suicide by jumping to the

The assistant prosecutor declared
that the hearing was premature, and
that it constituted an attempt to rail

Dr. Hoppe declared that the proceedings
were inhuman and cruel. He denounced
the members of the lunacy commission,

Bill Returned to Conference After
Several Compromises Had
Been Rejected.

During consideration of the conference
report on the naval appropriation bill
today the House registered its disagree
ment to the Senate amendment permit
ting the Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington Railroad Company to oper-
ate its tracks to the navy yard for two
years longer. This, as was contended on
the floor today by Representative Sims
of Tennessee and others opposed to the
Senate amendment, practically amounts
to a repeal of the existing law which
directs the removal of the track, and the
operation of which was suspended by an
injunction obtained by the Navy Depart
ment from the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict Of Columbia. and which expired on
the 9th of last month.
Point of Order Made.
Mr.. Sims today offered his bill appro-
priating something over 100000 for the
requirement of the necessary land and
the construction by the government of
this branch track to the navy yard. But
Representative Douglas of Ohio made a
point of order against the Sims PROPOSE
ton on the ground that it was not ger
name to the Senate amendment, and the
point of order was sustained.
Representative Dawson Of Iowa, a men,
Der of the naval committee. offered an
amendment to the Senate amendment pro-
viding that during the next two years,
the period for which the extension of
time to the railroad company is proposed,
that the Secretary of the Navy submit
recommendation in the matter to Con-
gress.
Sent Back to Conference.
This was knocked out on a point of
order by. Representative Foss of Illinois.

fairs.
