DISPOSITIONS IN SUIT
FOR DIVORCE SEALED
Justice Wright Declines to Hear
Case in Private, and Sup
presses Papers.

Securely sealed and tied with a red
tape. five dispositions for the plaintiff
in the suit of Mrs. Martha Tyson Manly
Jordan against EIdridge f. Jordan,
chairman of the board of directors of
the United States Trust Company, for
an absolute divorce were filed with the
clerk of the District Supreme Court this
afternoon by Albert Harper, examiner in
in the case.
The testimony was ordered sealed by
Justice Wright, who declined to hear
the evidence nprivate chambers last
week. There is a possibility of the tes-
timony being made public when the case
comes up in Equity Court in the fall,
but the attorneys in the action will
make a vigorous effort to keep the de-
tails secret for all time.
Not a hint is given as to the identity
of the five witnesses who testified in
behalf of Mrs. Jordan. The allegations
in the suit were that the banker was
guilty of wrong-doing In New York and
Baltimore and II is assumed that the
testimony was on this subject. 1t Is un-
Gerstood that two private detectives
figured N the case.
No testimony has yet been offered In
defense and 1t was intimated today that
the chances are that no further evidence
will be offered by either side.

No steps have yet been taken by the
Secretry of State to carry out President
wilson's announcement that neither the
federals nor rebels would be permitted
to import arms and ammunition from
the United States. Secretary Bryan
said today that ii was in the province
of the Treasury Department, through
its customs officers, to prevent these
. shipments and that a request for an
additional border patrol of troops would
have to come from that quarter. He
would not say when such a request
probably wiuld be made.
Present Patrol Inadequate.
At the present time there are but
l4OO troops on the border, two regi-
ments of cavalry and one battery of
artillery, which allows but one man
to every mile of border. Army OF .
fcers realize that such a patrol for a
strict enforcement of the neutrality
embargo is absurd, but as yet, the
War Department has not been re-
ouested to increase the number. To
be sure. General Bliss, under whose
orders the patrol is working. has, as
commander of the Southern district.

discretion can draw on these for bor-

command does not include the 10000
troops now mobilized at Galveston
and Texas City, and these could only
be moved to the border on orders
from the War Department in Wash

forth.

YOUNG TURKS IN CONTROL
Europe Awaits Action of New Admin
istration of Ottoman Empire.

Constantinople.-Wh semi-official
advices from the grand vizerate were
that the new Turkish cabinet had de-
cided to recall the Ottoman peace dele
gates from London, as far as may be
Judged there is no intention on the
part of the victorious Young Turk
revolutionists to force matters or to
resume hostilities if any reasonable
compromise with the Balkan allies is
possible.
The new Turkish government is said
also to have requested its ambassa-
doris at Vienna and st. Petersburg to
return to the Turkish capital.
The Council Of Ministers sat to dis
cuss the action it will take on the
note of the powers, and it is believed
a reply will be drafted insisting on
the retention Of Adrianople by Turkey
and pointing to last weeks demonstra-
ton as q real manifestation of the ma
tional will.
At all events, some days must
elapse before the situation arising
from the revolution becomes clear.
Once again, many Of the diplomats
believe, peace hinges on Adrianople,
the Ottomans' holy CITY," 1t is GER
tain that the Young Turks, whose up
rising was victorious only because of
the public cry against the surrender,
will not yield to the powers as their
predecessors had planned.
1t is expected that, realizing the
new conditions they confront, the
powers ministers will advise the al
lies to view their demand for Adrian
ople less compromisingly. The Young
Turks, it is generally agreed, will not
object seriously to the other terms
made by the London delegates, includ'
ing the surrender Of many OF the
AEGEAN islands.

Beulah, Miss.-Due to one spot over

the rapidly rising Mississippi river
torrent tore through the temporary
structure Of sacks at almost the same
spot it did less than a year ago, and
soon the muddy waters rushing
through newly opened crevasse start
ed to spread over the same territory
inundated in the spring of 1912.
No lives have been reported lost, as
citizens of the country around, both
black and white, had been notified OF
the approaching danger and were in a
measure prepared for it.
Owing to the fact that the stage OF
the river is much lower than it was
last year the territory inundated will
be much smaller, including Bogue
Phalia Basin and a portion of the Sun
flower river valley south of the South
