PRESBYTERIAN MINISTER
ARE UPHELD BV CON-
MISSION TODAY.

Atlantic City. N. j., May 26.--Rev.
DIR. VIM. ID. Grant. of Northumberland.
Pa, has been found guilty OF heresy.
The commission. which heard the
charges, reported its findings to the
Presbyterian general assembly this
morning.
The commission found Grant taught
doctrines contrary to the word OF God
in the Bible and the Presbyterian con-
fession of faith"
He Is held guilty under the rules
of the Presbyterian book OF discipline.
and the commission recommends his
suspension until such a time as he
satisfies the Presbytery of his purpose
to no longer teach such doctrine. The
assembly adopted the report of the
commission by an overwhelming vote.
Though the decision was at first a
crushing blow to the friends of DR..
Grant the judgment. which leaves Il
up TO his own Presbytery TO relnstate
him. that body having already acqpit-
ted him once and being obviously ia
vorable to him, somewhat took the
sting out of the apparent harshness OF
the verdict. 1t was pointed out that
there is nothing to prevent Grant from
appealing to his Presbytery at It's very
next meeting, and by making a state
ment recanting any views that might
be taken to attack the basic doctrines
of the church, can be reinstated within
short time.

Lansing Case Reads Letter Tur-
ner Wrote Offering serv-
ices to c. q n.

Lansing. Mich, May 26.-In opening
the argument in behalf of the defense.
Allan +. Rees. attorney for the Calu-
met & Hecla i'm the case brought by
'C. M. Turner of Lansing. stockholder
In Osceola, to prevent the consumma-
tion OF the merger OF the copper mines
Of this state. read to the court a letter
which Mr.. Turner wrote TO General
Manager James MacNaughton of the
mining corporation.
The letter was written when the plan
OF consolidation was announced TO
stockholders in the several companies
interested, and with II the writer en-
closed proxies for his stock In Osceola,
Tamarack and Centennial Mr.. Turner
stated that he approved the plan. be-
lfeving the economies proposed would
stimulate speculation and increase the
price of the stock. adding that he was
willing to take n chance and had told
q neighbor who had stock To send In
his proxies. In concluding he suggest
ed that he was not busy and would be
glad to put in some time soliciting
proxies for a reasonable compensation.
Turner's Offer Refused.
Mr.. Rees also read Mr.. MacNaugh-
toms reply, i'm which the latter stated
that the offer made for the consolida-
ton was considered so eminently fair
that il was expected all stockholders
" ould approve without the necessity OF
any canvass for proxies. Mr.. Rees
stated that MIR. Turner later revoked
his proxies.
Mr.. Rees entered into an exhaustive
history of the copper mines of upper
Michigan, as well az relating the plans
worked out for copper from the cong
lomerate sand taken from the mills and
dumped into Torch Lake, near the CAL
umet & Hecla mines. This sand. he
said. under a new process will yield 30
Der cent of the copper IL contains at a
cost of FIVE to eight cents per pound
He stated that there are 55,000,000 tons
of this sand worth now over $4,000,0OO.
Jurisdiction Not Decided.
Mr.. Rees explained the conditions
surrounding the mining operations. and
the plans worked out for increasing the
value of the properties under the con-
solidation. He declared while II may
not be so good for speculative ven
lures, yet the merger would mean a
better investment
Judge West inquired as to the value
Of osceola stock in April, and in re-
ply Mr. Rees stated that II was worth
5000. for which the holder would re-
ceive $25 par I'm new stock, but, he
added. this new stock will be worth
$3.50 a share.
The court has not decided the ques-
ton of jurisdiction leaving that for de-
termination. along with the other
points, when the case Is concluded,
which will probably be tonight.
