Memorial, Long Sought by
Southerners, to Be Placed

Sought for more than fifty years by
Southerners who would keep II as one
of the great memorials of the South, the
original seal of the Confederacy has at
last been found in the possession of
Rear Admiral Thomas o. Selfridge, u.
S. N, retired, at his home in this city.
Rear Admiral Selfridge has permitted
the seal to be taken to Richmond, Va,
where II is now locked in a vault at the
Jefferson Hotel. During the latter part
of the time that 1t has been sought by
natives of the Southland the great seal
has been snugly encased in a safe in
the Selfridge residence, 1857 Kalorama
road
It Is the purpose of the Richmond
residents having at heart the desire to
preserve the relic to have 1t identified
by the English firm which manufac-
tured It. After this Identification the
Richmond institution, where 1t can be
viewed by the public.
In turning the seal over to the Vir-
ginians, Admiral Selfridge gave them
a letter attesting to it's authenticity and
the manner In which 1t came into his
possession.
The possession OF the seal was traced
to Admiral Selfridge through records
found in the Library of Congress.

by clerk in the Confederate State
Department from Richmond when the

The seal and valuable papers were az

Colonel Steever Sends War
Department Message Tell

While the state ana War Depart
merits daily continue to give out re-
ports scoffing ut the idea of American
Intervention in MeNoco, messages con-
tinue to reach here indicating that the
troops on patrol duty along the Rio
Grandc are apprehensive of trouble.
A telegram from Colonel Steever,
commanding the Iraxas guard on the
border, was received by the adiutant
general of the army TODAY telling Of
renewed h )stiiities near the line which
threaten complications which may iu-
volve this Government in serious FASH

Colonel Stesver says he has been
watching the movements OF the federal
troops who are concentrating columns
OF troops in northern Mexico danger
cusly close to American territory. 1t Is
understood the Madero forces contem-
plate attacking Juarez and routing the
rebel body eicamped there. He adds
that he will continue to keen In close
touch with tie situation, and keep au-
thorities here informed of every new
turn.
Advices From Steever.
Colonel Steever's telegram follows:
"Just returned from Fabens. Tex,
nearly opposits Guadalupe Mexico. The
Mexican federals from the direction Of
ntinaga attacked San Isnacio. which Is
east of Guadalupe, Sunday night, and
met little resistance. The federals at

Fight With Indians.
At the State Department today 1t
was reported that in the south of
Mexico a small engagement Is said
to have occurred between the fed
erals and Juchitecos Indians near
Juchitan in which the federals had
the advantage. Conditions in Oaxaca
and Tamaulipas seem to. be bad ac-
cording to officials dispatches. The
commander OF the federal forces sta
toned at Nogales has been arrested
at Hernosillo charged with COM
plicity in a revolutionary plot insti-
gated by political exiles in Nogales

SAYS 1000 CHURCHES
HAVE NO MINISTERS
Presbyterian Assembly Hears
Startling Assertion by
Officer.

LOUISVILLE, KY, May 21.-That
there are 1000 pastorless churches in
the Presbyterian denomination was the
assertion made by DR.. Joseph Wilson
Cochran, secretary of the board of
education, to the general assembly to-
day.
DR.. Cochran appealed for better finan-
cial support of the ministers, declaring
that young men would not regard the
ministry as mans job until the
church paid a mans wages.
I'VE are gaining barely enough men
to supply the church." he said. I'm
calling for more men we are calling for
heroes who must face starvation
wages"
One result of merging the ministerial
relief and ministerial sustenation funds
is expected to be that annuities as high
as $500 can be paid to ministers out of
service, whereas the maximum has
been $500. The project to raise fund
of $4,000, 900 to provide adequate PEN
sions will be pushed.
