Officials to Allow
Merriam Divorce

The War Department is not likely to
interfere in the marital affairs of
Capt. and Mrs. Henry c. Merriam.
Their sensational case. now on trial
in San Francisco. has reached the
point where there is an agreement for
Mrs. Merriam to file a counter suit
against her husband il there would
be no court-martial for him as a re-
suit.
Adjutant General Andrews declared
today that he could see no reason for
interference or court-martial. mas
much as the couple apparently are
willing to terminate their troubles by
the filing of the counter suit.
Captain Merriam charges that his wife
at one time attempted to kill him. He
friendly with Major Clarence MUIR
ply.
In the trial the judge attempted to
have them affect reconciliation. They
got as far as an agreement whereby
the Merriam child could 60 home until
today with the captain.
Captain Merriam. however, refused to
agree to live again with his wife. Then
a compromise was drawn. whereby the
wife would file a cross libel and get a
divorce without the captains contest
ing il.
This action would result in the with
drawal of the captains present case.
and save the parties from further
mud Singing Adjutant General An
would be satisfactory to the War De
partment. and he strongly intimated
that the department would then con-
slider the incident closed.

SENATORS To TAKE
UP DISTRICT BILLS
First Meeting Of Committee to
Be Held Tomorrow Morning.
Reforms To Be Considered.

The first meeting Of the Senate Dis
trict Committee will be held at 10 80
o'clock tomorrow morning. The ques-
ton of model insurance laws for the
District will be one Of the subjects con-
sidered. The insurance committee Of the
American Bar Association, headed by
Ralph W. Breckenridge, Of Omaha, will
be heard in behalf of model insurance
legislation for the District. and 1t will
be urged that such legislation would
pave the way for legislation throughout
the country.
The Hughes measure. to allow DIR.
Friedman to practice medicine and sur
gerry i'm the District without an examina-
ton. will be up. 1t is likely strong op-
position will develop.
Another matter will be the demand of
Senator Bristow for an investigation of
alleged abuses in connection with the
pension roll Of police and flremen. Sena-
tor BristOw wants an investigation be-
cause parties on the rolls are drawing
liberal pay from private sources in ad-
dition to getting pensions.
Senator Smith does not expect there
will be much District legislation this ses-
sion. Nor will there be frequent meet
ings Of the District Committee.

VOTE
ON NAME CONTEST
Factions Fight Hard to Win
Delegates for Convention to
Consider Change.

Voting is going on in st. Stephens
Church this afternoon by delegate to
the diocesan convention of the EpiS-
copal Church. which settles the question
of how District churchmen shall be
lined up on the matter of changing the
name of the church. 1t was regarded
as likely that more than one ballot
would have to be taken before the Iour
clerical and four lay delegates of the
diocese are determined by majority
vote.
A hot contest is also on for election
to the standing committee of ;hc do
cese.
Have Disagreement.
While the vote on delegates was be-
ing canvassed by the tellers. the Rev.
Randolph Mckim, rector of Epiphany
Church, started a vigorous controversy
Dy introducing resolution OH the Iues-
ton of representation of dioceses In the
general convention. DIR. McKim urged
that representation in the house of cler-
ical and lay deputies be made proper
tionate to the number OF communicates.
Thomas Nelson Page supported the
matter in a brief speech.
But several of the high church party
spoke with great vigor against the rcso-
luton which urged on the general con-
vention Of the church that it take up
the matter.
The Rev. Clarence Whitmore, a Young
priest of the church. stationed at St.
Agnes Chapel, declared that the move
ment was part of conspiracy to make
one diocese supreme.
Pave Way for Pope.
Change the system Of representation
from its historic form of equal votes
for each diocese. and you will pave the
way for new papacy and new
pope" shouted Mr.. Whitmore. 1t
will result ultimately In the creation of
an ecclesiastical power such as that to
which we are opposed
DIR. McKim and Mr.. Page made their
pleas on the ground of equity, the for
mer pointing out that the diocese OF
Washington District of Columbia and
adjacent parts of Maryland) have as
many communicates as seven small
Western dioceses.
The reason back of the feeling in this
contention is that the large Eastern do
ceses of the church are opposed to
changing the name of the church.
Many Of the smaller Western dioceses
which have now just as many votes.
are notably high church. and favor
changing the name.
Another question at issue before the
convention this afternoon is the plea of
All Souls Mission to be created a separ-
ate parish from st. Adams. Elaborate
briefs have been submitted by both
sides.

posts.
All is quct>at Juarez and Chihua-

Rebel agents here declared today
that the MEXICO City mutiny is part
of a general revolutionary plan pre-
maturely exploded.
They connect it directly with the
program of General Trevino, former
federal commander in the state Of
Nuevo Leon and a military favorte of
the Diaz regime.
They say the date for a general re-
volt of the army has been set for
March ] and had virtually all revo-

movement
In order to hold the army, General
Trevino will be named provisional

merly rebel representative at Wash
ingtOn.
TO this they say the rebels have
agreed, if a national election IS guar

The arrangement, it is said, was made
several weeks ago between the prin-

AMERICAN AMBASSADOR SAYS
THAT CITY OF MEXICO is
IN HANDS OF REBELS.
PROTECTION DEMANDED
State Department Sends Word to Mex
leo That Americans Must Be Safe
Will Adhere to Policy, Though, and
Will Not Interfere With Affairs.

Washington, Feb. Decentralization
of the reported gravity Of the situa-
ton in Mexico City was contained in
dispatches received early this morning
at the state department. Huntington
Wilson, the assistant secretary of
state arrived from New York at mid
night and took charge Of the situation
in the absence of Secretary Knox, who
is i'll.
Shortly afterward the following Off
cial statement was issued:
"Ambassador Wilson reports that
the rumor is correct that the arsenal
has surrendered to Felix Diaz; that
mounted police, artillery and rur,ales
from Tacubaya have declared for him,
and the national palace is the only
place still loyal to Madero. The ann
bassador says that Generals banquet
and Angeles are reported to be coming
to the capital with troops from Toluca
and Cuernavaca but that it is impos-
sible to procure details"

Policy Will Be Unchanued.

washington, Feb 9-Although Off
cial messages from Mexico were
meager and long delayed, staffs at the
White House, state department <and
Mexican embassy, sat up until late to-
night eager for details of the revolt
in Mexico City, which resulted in the
release from prison of General Felix
Diaz and his assumption of command
OF the rebel army, reinforced by the
troops which detected from the McXi-
can federal commands.
Secretary Knox is i'll and unable to
leave his home, but such news as was
received was sent to his residence by
messenger, while President Taft was
informed by secretaries Of the situa-
ton as it developed in press dis
ra.ches from the Mexican capital.
Tie state department sent hurried
request to Ambassador Henry Lane
Wl,son at Mexico City for a report on
the situation, especially with references
to the safety of American citizens UP
to midnight, however, nothing had
been received beyond brief advices
confirming news of the revolt under
General Diaz's leadership and the kill
ing of General Bernardo Reyes.
No details We're given whether the
rebels or loyal federalsts were in con-
troll
Inquiry into the situation, based
upon the dispatches thus far received,
brought the assurance that it would
not influence the present administra
tion to change the policy it has pur-
sued steadily for the last two years
and that there would be no interfer-
ence with political affairs of Mexico
by this government, even should tho
rebellion proceed to successful con-
clusion. Every prccaution, it was
assured, would be taken to protect
lives and property Of Americans in
Mexico, which might involve the dis
patch of warships to the coast towns
of that country and the Strengthening
