one of the clergymen investigated by the mayor in his allegations of a con- spiracy to protest formally against the prominence being given to his con- versation, was read into the record. Several spectators jibed at the mayor, and the committee chairman resorted to threat to clear the room in his ef- forts to restore order.
 The substance of the conversations revealed by the mayor related chiefly apparently, tO ways and means for keeping witnesses and evidence away from the charities investigating com mittee. The names most frequently mentioned by Mayor Mitchell were those of Monsignor J. J. Dunn, chan cellor of the arch-diocese of New York; Father Farrell. Robert w. Heb bard. former secretary of the state board of charities, and Daniel C. Pot ter, a former empolye of the city.

PRESBYTERIAN CONTROVERSY
 |S SET TIED
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., May 24.- After the amicable settlement today by the general assembly of the Pres byterian church in the United States Of the New York presbytery contro- Versy 1t was stated by leading com missioners tonight that a contest is expected on the floor of the conVen- tion tomorrow over the question of what control the assembly shall have over seminaries. Under the contract of 1870, the assembly was given su- premc authority in the ratification of faculty members in all Presbyterian seminaries but this action was re- scinded by the Rochester convention last year.
 In an overture submitted tonight, Lane Seminary of Cincinnati de- mands that the Rochester action be reversed and the 1870 compact re- sumed. The treatment of this ques- tion, it was said, would vitally affect the assembly's action on the over lures against Union Theological sem mary which urged the institution of a friendly suit to determine whether unions administration of trust funds is justifiable. The committee on bills and overtures announned it would make a report on both of these mat ters at tOmorrow's session. Auburn Theological Seminary of Auburn, N Y, has joined with Union to defeat the proposal offered by Lane and a bitter fight is expected.
 The adoption of the report of the committee on bills and overtures on the overtures regarding the New York Presbytery is regarded as settling tie controversy. The New York Presby- tery escaped censure for it's alleged deviations from orthodoxy but witt all other presbvteries was warned never again to license or ordain any candidate for the ministry whose views are not in accordance with the deliverance of 1910"

 ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., May 24.-- The democratic state convention to- night elected twelve delegates to the democratic national convention, giv- ing each a half vote. The delegation was instructed to cast it's vote for President Wilson and also Vice Presi- dent Marshall.
 These delegates were elected:

Duran, Clayton; Rom Ross, Albuquerque; Lieutenant Gov ernor F. c. De Baca, East Las Vegas; sam G. Bratton, Clovis, and B. A. PirO, SOcorro.

capacity of statesmen for surveying the great problems in broad spirit. The insularity which had character ized British diplomacy in the past con- stituted the real danger The govern ment must recognize that the war had reached a deadlock and at the same time the superior position of Great Britain also must be recognized. The latter was due to the spirit and valor of the people and not to statesmen.
 The speaker said he hoped the states men were not going to imperil the sit nation by. delay and in-epitude. Moth ing had helped Germany more than the extreme jingo utterances of states men. They had enabled Prussianism to keep Germany together MT Pun zonby said recriminations must cease. He considered it wanting in respect to the British peopl- for them to disre- gard parliment and adopt the Ameri- can press as a platform.
 The war never would end, MT. I-on- zonby continued, if Great Britain waited until Sir Edward Grey and Dr. l von Bethman Hollwek, (the German imperial chancellor) agreed as to who was responsible for it. Had Germany refused to restore Belgium, evacuate France and Serbia and form an in- dependent Poland; had she refused to agree to form an international council to maintain European peace, Mir. Pom zonby asked. If she had refused these things the country ought to be told.
 Sir Edward Grey in the course of his speech characterized Chancellor von Bethmann- Hollweg's recent statement that Great Britain was prepared to go to war over Bosnia as "a first class lie. The real reason for the continu- alton of the war was that the Ger man government continually was tell l ing their people that they were win ming the war and that the allies were beaten.
 : Sir Edward here made the declara ton that the time for peace had not yet arrived and that the entente al. lies were under obligations not to act separately on peace terms. He added that the allies had no right to speal or peace at the present moment; tha It was France on which the continued 1ury of the German attack had beer thrown rebuking Mir Ponzonby fo making no allusion to Verdun Sir Ed ward Grey said:
 Through the long battle of Verdur France is saving not only herself. bu her allies as well. If any one has right to speak about peace, it is Franc and President Poincare has spoken
 believe 1t is the part of duty and di plomacy to maintain in the main in solidarity of the allies and give th

 by the allies in common to bring tb
 war to stage it has not yet reache and in which the prospect of maintain ing an enduring peace will be with in
 allies Mr. PonZonby has hardly sai to realize that we are at war"
 Sir Edward then referred to the nre
 vious Balkan war as proof of Graa
 Britain's good faith in such conference
 he added
 I only wish the German and Ans
 trlan governments had published th
 reports of their ambassadors as to f,
