The Assembly had the unusual ex-

a deposed minister, Rev. l. -. Field, of

presbytery on charge of violating the
law of the church in marrying a di-
vorced woman and other offences con-

deposition. lie then appealed to the

A disclaimer for Germany as re-
CARDS the possibility that the Me-
braskan was struck by mine was
entered at the State Departmnt to-
day by the German ambassador. Count
Won Bernstorff. He left at the State
Department a personal note stating
that according to his information from
the German admiralty. all mines
sowed by the German naval forces
were of a character such that sney
become harmless as soon as detached
from their moorings. 1t has hardly
been suggested, however. that the Me-
braskan could have been struck by
a German mine in view OF her position
at the time she encountered the un-
derwater explosive. the general opYn-
ion being that 1t was either an Eng
lish mine. broken loose from its moor
ings. or q German torpedo.

Union Station Plaza Commission on
Awards Sends Invitation to

| An invitation has been sent to the
officials of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road by the commission of awards for
the property involved in the extension
of Union station plaza to attend pub
llic hearing, to begin at IL o'clock Fri
day, November IL, in the offices of the
commission, for consideration of the
road in the area involved. The COM
munication was sent yesterday, and
time for reply has not elapsed. Hamil-
ton, Yerkes & Hamilton are attorneys
for the railroad.
The former award under condemna-
ton proceedings for the properties
owned by the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road aggregated S1,729,000. Criticism
Of this award as excessive brought
about new legislation and the appoint
ment of the present commission of
award. The law limits the amount
that can be paid for the property, SO
that the maximum award will be at
least several hundred thousand dollars
less than the former finding of value.
