Mutiny Charged Against
Members of Texas Militia

Washington, ID. c., May 22.-Court-
martial confronts 116 enlisted men of
the Texas National Guard for their re-
fusal to respond to the call for service
on the Mexican border.
Under the Dick militia law, accord
ing TO the terms of which the guards
men were called out, such court
martial is provided for refusal to re-
spond. but 1t is discretionary with the
War Department whether the clause
shall be enforced or ignored
While some of the officials of the
War Department believe that court :
martial might be a good object lesson,
II is hardly likely that Secretary Baker.
of the War Department, will give his
approval to such a course.
New Basis for Attack
The chief effect of the failure of the
militia of Texas. Arizona and New
Mexico to meet the emergency along
the border will be to provide a new
basis for attack on the national guord
in Congress. The members of the SEN
ate who have been contending that the
United States cannot rely upon the
national guard as nucleus for VOL
unteer army in time of war are now
preparing to say that experience along
the border supports their contention.
Advocates of the national guard.
however. point out that the govern l.
ment issued its call to the orsan-
izations which were in the poorest
shape to respond that If the call lad
gone forth to the militia in any of
the eastern Stataes there would have
been a different result.
General Funston is said to be pre-
pairing to request more coast artillery
men, since after twelve days he has re-
ceived no help from the militia, and
since this delay has compelled him 10
withdraw troops from Mexico to guard
the border

Tells of Plan to Sell
Palestine After War
Bv Associated Press

Cincinnati, Ohio, May %. - Hen
ry Morgenthau, who recently resigned
as ambassador to Turkey, spoke before
the Wise Center Forum here yester-
day and told his listeners that the
sale of Palestine after the war, so
that the Ottoman empire might secure
money. had been discussed by him. He
told of how he broached the matter to
the Turkish ministry and how eagerly
it was discussed.
1--WE even got down to figures" said
Mr.. Morganthau. "They argued as to
whether it should be an international
State or a republic"
Mr.. Morganthau said that as to
whether Russian and German Chris
tians would allow the Jews to possess
Palestine was thoroughly discussed.
"I told the ministry that if a harbor
was built at Jaffa, Jerusalem would
yearly attract 100000 visitors who
would spend at least 500 each. See
ing that there was a way for the Jews
to pay for Palestine the Ottoman gov
ernment wanted to make concessions
Immediately and asked that the build
ing of a harbor and hotels be started"
he stated,

PRESBYTERIANS
TRYING TO STAVE
OFF DISCUSSION
Attempting to Smother Debate
on Alleged HetrodoXy of
N. Y. Presbytery
COMPROMISE OVERTURES
Committee Has Several; Bryan
i'll Speech Says "Drys"
Will Win

Atlantic City, n. j., May 22-It is
evident to-day that the big leaders OF
the general Presbyterian assembly are
trying to stave off bitter debate on
the floor of the convention here over
the alleged hetrodoXy of the New
York Presbytery and have the mat
ter smothered without any discussion
on the part of the assembly in open
session.
The committee of bills and over
lures, J. Ross Stevenson, Princeton,
chairman, reported in this morning
with several minor overtures and rec
ommended their reference to different
committees and then asked further de-
lay in the time of their report on the
New York Presbytery controversy, en-
gendered by the petition filed by the
Cincinnati Presbytery, supported by
others, because three students who
failed to profess some of the cardinal
principles of the Presbyterian church
had been ordained by the New York
Presbytery.
Lively Arguments Expected
There are several compromise over
lures now before the committee. One
proposes that a committee be appoint
ed by the assembly to go to the New
York Presbytery and make a thor
ough investigation and then report
back.
Before the overtures reach the floor
ii is predicted that the convention
will witness some lively arguments be-
cause of the distribution of hundreds
of pamphlets, written by the Rev.
John Fox a member of the New York
Presbytery on the subject Critical
Scholarship VS.. the Bible" in which
he takes the side of the opponents of
his Presbytery.
Warning was issued on Saturday
that such pamphlets should be kept
out of the meetings and now that
they have appeared there is an under
current of feeling that is liable to
break loose at any time.
