SAVING MORGAN

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 22.-
Msllen completed his testimony with
a remarkable statement. He gave the
innermost details Of the deal between
the Grand Trunk and New Haven
railroads which resulted in Mellen's
indictment by the federal grand jury
Regarding this he said he realized
that II any man was really to blame,
1t was Pierpont Morgan, but had he
been indicted It would have killed
him. Mellen therefor concealed the
truth and accepted his own indict-
msnt. He declared in payment for
his self-sscrifce, Morgan's son prac.
tically fired him from the New Haven
presidency.
It is believed that Mellen's testi-
mony furnished him immunity from
prosecution. He said he told young
Morgan about his action in accepting
the indictment. when l told him he
said he thought 1t would bs best for

PREsBYTERIANs PLAN
RADICAL REORGANIZATION

CHICAGO, May PA radical re-
organization of the home missionary
board of the Presbyterian general as
sembly was the chief discussion
among the 300 odd delegates who are
in Chicago today from all sections
of the United States and number
of foreign Countries. The assembly
will be in session for ten days.
Insurgents in the Presbyterian
church are determined to reorganize
the home missionary board so that it
will be of more service, according to
Oliver R. Williamson, in charge CT
the general arrangements for the as
sembly, which is being held at the
Fourth Presbyterian church, the pas
torste of Rev. DR.. John Timothy
Stone, the retiring moderator. The
claim has been made, Williamson
states. that the home missionary
board has become so centralized and
80 unconstitutionalized that churches
and home mission field has had no
voice in the policies of the church.
1t is to correct this condition that
the progressive element in the as
sembly wishes to overhaul that body,
he claimed.
At this session, the 126th annual
meeting held by the Presbytery of
this country it is expected that the
way will be paved for the Rev. E. P.
Hill, of the Mccormick Theological
seminary, Chicago, to succeed the
veteran secretary of the home mis-
sionary board, the Rev. Charles L.
Thompson, who, it is reported, will
retire in June. DR.. Hill admitted to-
day that he had been approached IN
the subject of filling DR.. Thompson S
place when the latter resigns.
There is widespread interest in the
election of moderator to succeed the
Rev. DR.. J. T. Stone. For many years
various parties and groups have gone
to the assembly with vigorous politi.
cal-campaigns for the election of par
| ticular candidates. But at least years
assembly at Atlanta, Ca, sudden re.
action came from this political wire
pulling, and since that rebuke was
administered, delegates said today
1 there have been no open moves made
by any groups to put over" GER.

to word brought by the Hermes. The
Atlas sailed dom the MarshaIls with
the Hermes and Captain Schmidt was
somewhat surprised that the vessel
has not already reached neutral ha-

the Atlas might try for San Francisco.
The Hermes was sighted By the OBJ
server stationed at Diamond Head
shortly after noon. At about the same
time the Hizen was seen to change its
position and began to steam from or
Kalihi in the direction OF waikiki.
