MUNITTON EMBARGO
SENTIMENT GROWING
Cabinet and Congressional
Committees Take Up Foreign
Relation Problems
WASHINGTON. Jan.

Cabinet and Congressional councils to-
day considered Americas policy regard
ing the sinking of the liner Persia At
the first Cabinet meeting in n month the
President and Secretary OF State Lansing
presented the little evidence amassed re-
gardng the catastrophe.
The Senate and House Foreign Rela-
tions Committee, meeting for the first
time since rcCOnvcninE Of Congress, took
UP the Persia incident informally and
mapped out plan of cooperation with
the White House and state Department.
Sentiment i'm favor OF imposing an em-
barge on the expectation of arms and am
munition and favoring the warning Of
American citizens to keep off ships of bel
ligerent nations or ships bearing contra
band and liable to attack seems to be in
creasinE In both House and Senate. Sena-
tors from the cotton States and Senators
opposed to the allied interference with
American trade are claiming that they
will yet be able to pass an embargo resO-
luton through the Senate.
dissatisfaction with conditions in the
present foreign situation has become
openly apparent" said Senator Hoke
Smith, OF Geosgia. one of the cotton
States leaders today. "There seems to
be an increasing sentiment In favor OF
imposing an embargo on the export of
munitions as retaliatory measure to
secure satisfaction for interference with
our legitimate foreign commerce"
In the committees, however, disposi
tion to delay and to put off the matter
with as little discussion as possible was
evidenced by Administration supporters.

campaign, they let their opposition he

Sunday and the Unitarians. Commission
er Bullock, at the school board meeting
last night. questioned whether il would
be advisable TO grant the use OF the audi

Mr.. Bullock said he would not press
the point, merely desiring to call the
boards attention 10 the feeling between
Sunday and the Cnitarians The board
granted the application without comment
as il is customary TO permit the use of

without bail today by Coroner's jury
to await the action of the Grand Jury.
McNichors body was found December IL
in II trunk in the basement Of Il building
at 1862 Kenslngton avenue.
1t was established definitely for the
first time at the inquest that McNichol
was killed by bullet before his body
was pa ,ked into the trunk in which it
was found Evidence to this effect was
introduced by DR.. William $. Wadsworth,
Coroner's Physician.
Mrs Marie McNichol widow of the dead
man, was a pathetic and sensational fig
ure at the inquest held before Coroner
knight. Dressed In deep mourning, she
mounted the witness stand and told in a
dramatic way of her husbands friend
ship with Keller.
She spoke bitterly of Keller. harshly
denounCing him. She aroused the sym
pathy of all i'm the room, and the eyes
of every juror We're fixed on her as she
gave her testimony.
An affecting scene took place after the
inquest when Mrs. Keller rushed up to
her husband as he stood in the prisoners
dock waiting for officers TO lead him
away. She placed her armsaround his
neck and kissed him. She did not weep.
hut it was plainly evident that she was
deeply stirred. She had asserted before
the inquest that she intended to stick by
her husband throughout.
During the progress of the inquest Kel-
lar was calm and showed absolutely no
emotion He answered questions put to
him at the end of the inquest in clear
voice. II was only when Doctor Wads-
worth testified that he showed unsual
interest In the proce -Gings, leaning for

way the jury brought in the verdict after
Il brief deliberation.
Clarence u. Sterner, attorney for Keller.
declared Immediately after the inquest
that he would file a writ of habeas corpus
for the release of Keller on bail, pending
trial.
Although 81 witnesses were summoned
only eight We're called, Sterner was
plainly indignant, and said that the prose-
Cution should have called all the Wit
nesses. Assistant District Attorney Will
liam Brown carried on the prosecution.

fight centres around Mrs Emma p
Keenc, of 17l0 South 18th street, wife of
f. II, Keene. an undertaken Mrs. Keene,
who will remain a member OF St Johns.
has refused to discuss the affairs OF the
lodge.
"Evcrythng that went on in the lodge
room is secret" she said, "and 7 will
never be the one to tell. All of our mem
bers are sworn to secrecy and should not
talk about it."
NEWS FINDS LEAK.
Apparently. however, there ia leak
somewhere, for ii has become known that
one OF the causes of the wholesale seces-
sion was the "blackbaiing' of II man
who was Il candidate for membership,
and who was considered highly desira-
ble by the majority OF the members. one
black vote was east against him.
The trouble is" It was explained,
that one person was trying to run
things and the members would not stand
for It,"
1t was said that one way in which this
person demonstrated her desire to run
things was by habitually voting against
the admission of members.
WAS this person Mrs, Keene?" one of
the members was asked.
Il will not say who It was" was the
response.
Among those who are behind the move
ment to form the new lodge are Harry
Cooper Paul Armstrong, William H.
Chew and Edward Ran the husband of
Mrs Raft. formerly worthy matron of
st. Johns Chapter
Chew is an undertaken at 1923 Federal
street. His wife was a prominent mem
her of st. Johns Chapter and it is said
that when her husband was proposed for
membership he was blackballed. Chew is
not a member of the chapter. but he ad-
mitted that he is one OF those leading
the movement 10 form the new chapter.
Some of the members have limited about
plans for a special meeting by one Of the
warning factions. All of the members, II
is said, were not notified, and this caused
further Indignation. Some OF the national
officers were communicated with and their
opinions asked as 10 what should be
done.
Finally. as an outcome Of the dispute
came secession. This took place at the
very next meeting after the one at which
the dispute occurred.
Al the meeting tonight in the Parkway
Building, officers OF Covenant Chapter
will be eected. a meeting place decided on
and other routine matters transacted. IL
is expected that many OF the old officers
OF ST. Johns viii be elected To positions
in the new lodge. The members say that
the matter OF the dispute viii not be
discussed, but will be allowed to rest in
oblivion. The organizers are determined
that strife shall have no place in the af-
fairs OF Covenant Chapter.
st Johns Chapter according 10 Mrs.
Keene, will continue TO conduct its meet
ings and hold various functions just as
II there had been no split in its ranks.
