an established or legal church; second,
that not more than $500 may be ex-

can be no arts course that might COM

that no student study or professor

CONGRESS TO
 ADJOURN BY AUGUST r
Debate on Canal Bill Resumed
 in Senate-Free Tolls for American Ships

Washington, Aug S-Adjournment of Congress by Aug. IT was definitely fixed by leaders on both sides. today. following the action of the Senate late last night in approving free passage for American ships through the Pan anna Canal. Voting A to Il, the Sen ate refused to strike out of the Pan ana bin the provision exempting American vessels from the canal charges.
 It was the belief Of leaders that consideration of the bill might be completed today. The only Stumbling block now is the Senate amendment owned vessels to use the waterway. The House prohibited passage of such vessels. Pacific coast Senators, fight ing against the tranScontinental rail- roads and their vessels, claimed that the House provision would prevail
 The vote last night ignored Great Britain's protest to the plan of main tenance of the canal, and if the pro- hibition against railroad owned ships is inserted the Senate will be in the position of deliberately disregarding all of England's representations. That the whole question will be taken to The Hague tribunal for adjudication was the general belief today.
 When debate was resumed in the Senate, Johnson of Alabama suggest ed that in order to facilitate progress on the measure, all speeches be lirn- ited to five minutes, and that final vote on the bill be taken before ad jouTnment today. Half dozen Sem ators were indignant at this plan to curtail the greatest of Senatorial priv ilegas unlimited time for speechmak- ing-and there was instant objection.
 An amendment permitting vessels through the canal with ballast to re- ceiYe a rebate of 50 per cent. when returning with cargo was taken up.
 Senator Williams of Mississippi. re- offered his amendment that vessels constructed abroad. but owned by Americans, shall be permitted to en- gage in coastwise trade. Senator Lodge of Massachusetts vigorously opposed the plan.

REVOL UTION AND
 WAR CONSIDERED
 NEAR IN TURKEY


 London, Aug. 8.-The Turkish situa- ton caused deep alarm in diplomatic circles today. A revolution was con- sidered certain. and civil war likely. Efforts to stave off Turko- M ontene- grin clash seemed unavailng. Bull garfa was arIning to invade Mace donia. Servia was pledged to- help Bulgaria. Turk ko-Greek relations were strained against. Talk of ending the Turko-Italian war had ceased. AL bania was as good as lost to. the Sul- tan. News from Asiatic Turkey in- dicated the inminence of rebellion there.
 Everything pointed in fact to a break up of the Ottoman empire and the Ottoman empire cannot break up without endangering all Europe's peace. England, France. Germany, Italy, Austria and Russia all have in- terests there not counting the little Balkan states. These interests over lap and conflict.
 Wolf has been cried so often in connection with the Balkans that the clamoring is beginning to- be joked about, but the danger is real and to- day it looked imminent.

From trained nurse to the proud position of heiress to an estate of $20,00O, ,O0O is the sudden rise of Mrs. John s. Lyle, whose maiden name was Julia Gertrude Hannah of this city. The will of John S. Lyle, a wealthy merchant, was admitted to probate yesterday in Hackensack, N. J., and the bulk of the fortune goes to his young widow, who lived in this city until she married MT.

 Mrs. Lyle is we'll known in this city and her numerous friends are greatly pleased at her good fortune. She is sister of Hugh J. Hannah, of 564 Washington avenue, who until short time ago conducted a grocery store at James street and Harral avenue. Mir. Hannan's son. Francis, is favorite nephew of Mrs. Lyle's, and it is said that she will make him her private secretary and take him for a tour of the world. There is also niece, Miss Sylvia, and other nephews and nIeces. Francis Hannah is now employed as clerk in Wheeler & Howes coal of flee. The Hannans expect a visit from Mrs. Lyle in the near future.
