oreSbyterianS Favor Probe
Of TheOEOgiCaL SeminarieS

ATLANTIC CITY, n. J., May 25.-The
Presbyterian general assembly today
adopted a recommendation that all af-
fliated theological seminaries be inves-
tigated by a committee Of seven as to
their relationship to the church and
the assembly with a view of making
the relationship more secure, uniform
and mutually helpful.
The assembly last year rescinded the
Contract of 1870" whereby the assem-
bly, was given authority in ratifying
faculties in all Presbyterian seminaries.
This year an overture was presented
requesting that the contract be re-
sumed.
The overture, 1t was said, was aimed
at Auburn and Union seminaries, and the
adoption of the recommendation avoids
a contest on the floor of the assembly.
Dr. Waldo c. Cherry made a report
for foreign mission boards. 1t showed
that out of each dollar given in the
United States for foreign missions, SO
cents reach the natives for whom II was
intended. Natives in Presbyterian fields
have given over 100000. which means
that s1.25 has been used in foreign
fields for each 81 given in this country.
A special plea was made for the
evangelization Of Mexico

eny of Guaranty Trust Co..
f6r Bid of $4,000

The former quarters Of the Guarantee
Trust and Banking company or Alabama

streets. were sold at auction Thursday
morning to DR.. Horace Grant, for $685.
600. Forrest Adair was the auctioneer.
The property brought s1.417.51 a front
foot which was considered remarkably
cheap. 1t sold in 1910 for $4,000, and
the purchasers then. made alterations on
the building and installed vaults and
other expensive equipment. which went
with the property at Thursdays sale.
DIR. Grant would not say whether he
bought the property for himself or was
agent for someone else.
The property consists of a two-story
and basement brick building on lot
fronting 1873 feet on Alabama street,
with a depth of 9S.2 feet. 1t is on the
same side of the street as the Connally
and Temple Court buildings. The pres
ent sale was made on terms of one

This property was the quarters be-
fore the war of the old Fulton National
bank, of which z. w. Holland, and later
Alfred Austell were presidents. From
it was formed the Atlanta National
bank, which bought the property.
On moving to it's present quarters,
the Atlanta National bank sold it's old
location to E. w. Alfriend. He sold 1t
to Sam Smith, president of the Guar
antee Trust and Banking company, in
1910.
A large crowd damned the building
at Thursdays sale, and It has been a
long time since a larger~or more repre-
sentative gathering attended an auction
sale of real estate in Atlanta
The sale was started by DR.. Grant
with bid of $4,000. John W. Grant
raised it to $4,000. E. c. Peters bid
$4,000 and Mr.. Grant raised the bid to
SIS, 900. DR.. Grant then made his sue
cessful bid.

IN MOVE FOR PEACE

fees by the President
Wilson Ready to
Act as Mediator
If Nations Agree
CBy Associated Press. }

WASHINGTON. May 25.-Presi-
dent Wilson told callers today that
the intervention of a neutral in be-
half of peace in Europe could rest
only on a mutual understanding by
the belligerents that terms to be ar
ranged are to conserve the interests
of all, and of the world at large
rather than those of a particular
nation or group of nations among the
warning powers.
Mr. Wilson did not disclose any
definite plan of action he may have
formulated in regard to peace, nor
authorize a formal statement of his
attitude. His callers gained an i'm
preston, however, that the president
would entertain suggestions that he
extend his good offices to the bellig-
erents to bring about peace only
when the conditions he outlined were
likely of fulhllment.

Burns Accused
I'M ireT apping
Probe at ". Y.
Indictment of Head of DeteC-
tive Agency viii Be Asked on
Charge That He 0verStepped
the Law
(By Associated Press }

NEW YORK, May 25.-Fresh legal
proceedings, criminal and civil, were
promised today as the outcome OF the
wire tapping Investigations. District
Attorney Swami said that Frederick Sey-
mour, the attorney, had consented to
sign a complaint which would enable
the public prosecutor to ask the grand
jury for indictments against William ].
Burns, the detective, for unlawfully en-
tering Seymour's office.
Mayor Mitchell threatened criminal
action against prominent Catholic clergy
men, whom he accused of conspiring to
pervert justice and interfere with the
state investigation of Catholic charit-
able institutions. One of the men &C
cused by the mayor, the Rev. William
B. Farrell, said he intended to sue the
mayor for defamation of character.
The district attorney sought permits
sion to lay Burns case before the grand
jury after witnesses testified yesterday
at John Doe proceedings before a city
magistrate that the detective had Sey-
mour's telephone wire tapped and even
opened a desk in his office during one
of several secret raids and made notes
from papers therein.
1t is charged that Burns was employ
ed to find out how tips about war NUM-
tions contracts had leaked from the Of
flee Of J. P. Morgan & Co. Today the
district attorney sought to ascertain
whether Burns employers knew of the
methods he used to obtain information
and countenanced them. Burns is now
on his way to New York from Los An
geles. His arrival is expected Satur-
day and the district attorney said he
would have a chance to testify at the
John Doe proceedings before any action
was taken against him.
Investigation of police activities in
tapping wires to obtain evidence against
the Catholic charities authorities con-
tinued today before the Thompson legis-
lative committee. Since Senator Thomp-
son, the chairman, announced that the
committee felt bound to hear any one
of the persons mentioned by the mayor
in his sweeping charges, it promised to
be prolonged

VIGOROUS LANGUAGE USED
IN MAIL SEIZURE PROTEST.
Objection of u. S. Based on
British and French Method
of Procedure
(By Associated Press. }

WASHINGTON, May 25.-vigorous
language. equaling almost that employ
ed in the last communications to Ger
many, is understood to characterize the
notes delivered to the British and French
embassies here yesterday protesting
against interference with neutral mails
on the high seas.
Outlines Of the communications have
been cabled to London and Paris by
the embassies and the full text will
be forwarded by mail.
1t is understood there is no sub
stantial difference as to principle be-
tween the state department and the
London and Paris chancellors regarding
the broad question of inviolability of
first class mails on the high seas. The
American objections is based rather on
the methods employed by the allied gov
ernments in handling these mails.
The United States does not concede
the right even TO inspect first mails
in transit on the high seas, assuming
that these do not include anything more
than correspondence and are not made
the vehicle for the supply of contra
hand to the belligerents. The fact that
a neutral vessel carrying mails between
neutral countries is compelled to come
into a pelligerent port, to comply with
belligerent naval rules. it is held, docs
not remove the mail matter on board
from the privileged character of mail on
the high seas.
Ambassador Page, in London, and Am
bassador Sharp, in Paris, have been in
formed by cable of the delivery of the
notes and acquainted briefly with their
nature.
A resolution authorizing the transpor-
tatiOn of mail TO and from neutral ports
on naval vessels and declaring that ANY
interference with our mails shall be re-
scented by such ships with all power
of the navy and Of the ships was in
troduced today by Representative Tasue
of Massachusetts,. 1t declares thai
Great Britain has shown no disposition
TO discontinue the practice which is
violation of our rights at sea and our
rights TO do business with neutral
countries"
The resolution was referred to com,
mittee.

DEBATE
WOMEN'S RIGHTS TODAY
Topic Has Been Subject of
Several Lengthy Arguments
but Not Yet Settled

ORLANDO, Fla, May 25.-Woman's
position in the Southern Presbyterian
church, which after several days OF
lengthy arguments has remained virtu-
ally unchanged, was up for probable
discussion again today as a result of
the announcement that fifty of the less
than 300 commissioners attending the
assembly in session here objected to ac-
ton taken on the matter.
Five of the protesting fifty were APP
pointed to present to the assembly a
protest against the defeat yesterday of
an amendment which provided that
women be prohibited from expounding
the scriptures or leading in prayer in
the public work of the church.
While up to opening of today's first
session the assembly had set no date
for adjournment, it was said by many
commissioners that unless delayed by
argument over the protest on woman's
work, or by other matters, the assembly
might adjourn some time today. Bir-
mingham already has been chosen for
the 1917 meeting place.
The assembly last night refused to
appoint a committee to seek union with
other Presbyterian organizations and
with various reformed" churches, hold
ing that the present time is not "oppor-
tune"

BERLIN, May 24.-(Via London, May
asa wireless dispatch from the
United States giving the substance OF
President Wilson's speech at Charlotte,
n. c., in which he referred to the pos
sibility of American mediation in the
war. is given the place of honor in the
morning papers. The afternoon editions
return to the subject and their COM
menrs, with the wide interest shown by
the German public. show how important
this news is regarded here.
Though definitely stated nowhere
there is little doubt that Germany is
willing to consider a tender of good Of
fees to inaugurate peace negotiations.
The former attitude in the highest
quarters that America had disqualified
herself as a speace mediator on account
of her shipments of munitions to the
allies has now changed. If President
Wilson can hold out any tangible pos
sibilities that peace may result through
his mediation. Germany will undoubted-
ly be willing to consider such sugges-
tons he may offer.
This receptive attitude is naturally
subject to the condition that Germany
is not iockeyed into a position of an
nouncing her readiness to accept Presi-
dent Wilson's good Offices only TO find
the allies later rejecting the tender and
asserting that Germany is suing for
peace. There is equally little doubt
that the great masses of the people,
aside from the professional hotspurs in
the newspaper offices, would willingly
see America in the role of peace inter-
mediary, despite the persistlng bitter
ness over the munitions question.
ARGUMENT HAS SUBSIDIZED.
As a matter of fact little is heard
nowadays. either from the general pub
lie or from the press. on the subject of
American shipments of arms. The
question seems to have been submerged
by other problems of existence which
are of more immediate Importance to
the nation. President Wilson's declara-
ton cannot be said, however, to have
made a good impression in Germany as
far as the so-called "armor plate" news
papers like the Tages Zeitung and the
Taglische Rundschau are concerned.
Other chauvinist organs take occasion to
remember President Wilson with bitter
and uncomplimentary phrases and even
a moderate paper like the Lokal Anzei-
ger declares that the president should
first demonstrate the impartiality of his
neutrality by making good his demand
for respect for American rights against
England. He would then have an ex-
cellent chance, says this paper, of sue
ceeding in his peace mission at least AS
far as Germany is concerned.
The rumors of mediation have affect
ed the Berlin stock market. "War
babies" which have been generally
weak dropped lower still on report that
America and other neutral countries
were contemplating a tender of their
good offices as peace mediators. At tho
same time peace stocks" such as ship
ping and other securities are in strong
demand.
