GOEIhALS WILL
 NOT GET WARSH|PS
Charges of Canal Zone Gov ernor to Be Taken Up with
 Accused Nations.

Washington, Dec. 14.-The urgent request of Colonel Goethals of the Panama canal zone that torpedo boat destroyers be sent to him to uphold the neutrality laws of the United States in the zone jurisdiction was passed up today to the state depart ment
 Secretary of War Garrison discuss- ed the question of sending the vessels with Secretary of the Navy Daniels. This was followed by conference of other navy and state department off, cials. The result of all these confer ences, and it is understood the white house was consulted, has been for the present at least to postpone direct answer to Col. Goethals and to ;rele- gate the questions he raised to the bureau of diplomacy.
 At the state department, it was said that United States officials did not regard Col. Goethals' statement as Specific enough" for immediate ac- tion. The new status in the affair indicates there will be long investi- gation and that the state department will eventually take the matter up di- rectly with Great Britain or any of the nations interested in the charges made by Col. Goethals. In the inter- i'm the state department will do noth- ing to cause friction with any of the belligerents. .

EMERGE UNSCATHED
 FROM 9-HOUR DIVE
British Submarine Invades Dardanelles and Torpe-
 does Turk Battleship.
First Serious Blow Sustained by TrmkS Since Entry into War Infiict- ed by Submarine Which Ignored
 Cannon and Mines in Work.

London, Dec. l4.-The official press bureau of the war office today made the following announcements:
 Yesterday submarine B-11, in charge of Lieutenant Commander Norman Holbrook of the royal navy, entered the Dardanelles and in spite of the difficult currents. dived under i've rows of mines and torpedoed the Turkish battleship Messudieh. which was guarAitg the mine fields.
 Although pursued py gun fire and torpedo boats the Bill returned safely after being submerged on the occas- ion for nine hours.
 "When last seen the Messudieh was sinking by the stern."
 London, Dec. 14.--The first serious blow inflicted on the Turkish navy since the entrance of the Porte Into the war--the torpedoing of the Turk ish battleship Messudch by Brit ish battleship Mes5udieh by I Brit gave naval color to todays war news. and was in fact the only striking oc- currelce chronicled by land or sea.
 The feat of Lieut.. Commander Hoi- brook in diving under five rows of mines in the Dardanelles and torpedo ing the Turkish battleship is descrfb- ed here as perhaps the boldest ma rine eXp,oit of the war.
 yhe, submarine presumably was not scratched. She escaped sunfires ahti the pursuit of torpedo boats in manner truly remarkable; and it was necessary for her crew to endure the ordeal of remaining under water for nine hours in stretch.
 Russian guns have from time to time inflicted some damage on Turk jsh warships bombarding Russian ports, but the disaster reported today robs the Sultan of his first big ship. The loss of life is not estimated ln the brief announcement of the epi- sode given by the British admiralty. but if the Messudieh was manned as other Turkish ships have been there were A number of German officers on board.
 The Messudieh was built at Black well. England, in 1874 and recon:' tructed at Genoa in 1903. She was 322 feet long, 59 feet beam and or about 10000 tons burden. She had sneed of IT 1-2 knots and her man battery consisted of two 9.2 inch guns in turrets, and 12 six-inch guns in battery. Tn the war with Greece m 1912 the Messudieh was reported bad " damaged in naval battle in the Dardanelles. She carried a crew or 600 men.

Selects New Men to Replace Two Who Quit
 and Four Dismissed.
c0uRTS TO DECIDE THE CONTROVERSY
paar Men Removed by Governor Will aDDeal to Courts in Effort to Re- tain Places on Beard, Easing
 Fight on Old Decision.

Little Rock, Dec. 14.-Governo1
 Hays this afternoon announced the ap
 pointment of the new members of the
 board of trustees of the state charit.
 able institutions, to take the places
 made vacant when two members ol
 the old board resigned and four others
 were declared 'out of office" by the
 goyernor last week.
 General Thomas Green of Pine Bluff
 Is the only member of the old board btll holding office.
 The appointments announced today by Governor Hays are as follows:
 Tom D. Burress Of Jonesboro.
 Jeff T. Doyle of Walnut Ridge.
 Charles D. Jones of Eureka Springs.
 Chester H. Evans of Bonneville.
 pr. c. P. Merriwet1rer of Little Rock.
 Dougal McMillan of Philadelphia.
 The controversy oyer the charity board is growing more complex, and that the matter will go to the courts of the state for final settlement now appears a certainty. The four mem 'hers of the old board who were busted hy the governor appear determined in their stand that the governor has no night or authority to remove them From office, and will resist the action |d the governor to the utmost. These members of the old board |re hasing their contention upon d |decision of the state supreme court, written by the then associate justice, McCulloch, on Jun 13, 1908, in which |the court held in the case of Bruce vs. Matlock. S6 Ark:
 This case involves the question whether or not the governor of the state has the power to remove at will members of the board of trustees of the state charitable institutions. We hold that the members of the said board are by appointment put in of lice for fixed term, and that the governor cannot remove them. Doubt less this policy was inspired by de- Sire to secure the independent action of the members of the board, free from any sort of dictation or control. The members of the board having been appointed for fixed term, and as the state does not confer upon the governor the power of removal, the power does not exist. The re- moval of public officers does not in- here in the chief executive of the state. The governor has nothing to 60 with the management and control Of the charitable institutions further than to appoint the members of the toard biennially The governor is authorized to appoint these members and there his power in this respect ends. If the legislature had intend ed to confer greater or additional power it would have been so express Cd in the statutes"
 Governor Hays was familiar with thus decision before he wrote the let ter removing Messrs. Shane, Parsons and Dunaway. He says that he has Oeen advised by competent legal au- thority that he has not exceeded his power; that the key to the decision is th phras tat will," which means that the phrase lat will," which means !rary removal; but that he is not in- nlo'tAG from acting for cause, and mat in the present case he has acted TOT cause", which he can establish n any court of competent jurisd1c-

three bills into one measure. !, This
may be done before the debate pro-
ceeds very far.
