HEAVY Jury EXPENSE
NAY SUSPEND TRIALS


The Question Of expenses attaching to
jury trials in the District Supreme Court
was brought to the attention Of the
justices Of that tribunal yesterday, and 1t
showed that the efforts Of the justices
to clear the law and criminal dockets
have proved an exhaustive strain on
the appropriation for the pay of jurors.
The total allowed this year for the pay
OF Jurors was curailed in the last APP
preparation bill to $4,000, q decrease Of
N0oo over former amounts allowed for
similar purposes. The deficiency bill
carried an allowance. of 1900 for this
fund, which made total Of $4,000 to
be expended for the pay OF jurors to
June 90, and up to May / the United
States Marshal has paid out to Jurors
tt6.S3. leaving only $1o.647 remaining in
the appropriation.
As the daily payments to Jurors
amounts to 1878, it win be seen that the
balance of the appropriation will pro-
vide for only twenty-eight such payments
during the months of May and June. As
q result. 1t may be necessary to sus-
pend trials In the Circuit Courts June
in order to allow the running of both
criminal courts throughout the month Of
June without exceeding the appropria-
ton.

OFFICIALS TO ATTEND
MENOCAL INAUGURAL


Dudley Field Malone, Third Assistant
Secretary Of State, and brig. Gen. Enoch
Crowder, Judge Advocate General OF the
Army, have been designated by Presi-
dent Wilson as special ENJOYS to the IN
auguration of President-elect Menocai 1t
Cuba. which takes place at Havana on
May 20.
The American ENJOYS will leave Wash
ington tonight for Key West. and pro-
coed thence to Havana on board the
transport Prairie. They expect to res
turn to Washington about May Is.
1t is the Presidents desire that the
special mission to the Menocal inaugu-
ration be interpreted In Cuba as mani
festation of the special interest which
the government of the United States
takes in the continuance Of good govern
ment under republican institutions In
Cuba and the welfare of the Cuban
people The Cuban government sent q
speciay envoy to the inauguration OF
President Wilson last March.
Owing to the death of the sister OF the
president, Jose Miguel Gomez,
the festivities attendant upon the sinaug-
uration under ordinary circumstances
have been largely cancelled.

CONFESSION OF FAITH
OF the Presbyterian Not Changed Re-
garding G''EIect infant" Clause.

Louisville q Ky, Maydf5T-Fors the
second time the proposed amendment
to the confession Of faith in, ,conn,4 ton
with the much discussed ELECT inElnt'
clause has failed to receive the rleces-
sary hree-fourths votes of the Pres
byteries of the Southern Presbyterian
church. Although. defeat ted on form
er OCCASION, the General Assembly, last
year. again submitted to the Presby-
tories the matter of changing the. Tan
gllage of the confession of faith. Re-
turns received. up to. tonight, by the
Christian Observes of Louisville show
that - Presbyteries already have vot-
ed against the proposed change. thus
jnsuring it's defeat.
1t has been charged that the lam
guage OF the confession as it now
reads Elect infants dying in infancy"
etc. can be construed as declaring
that some infants are elect and some
are non-elect. Those who favor the
change argue that the church believes
all children dying in infancy are saved
and that the confession of faith should
be revised so as clearly to convey this
idea.
