Denies Pastor Looked Over Book

Mrs. A. F. Drury, clerk of Mount
Calvary Baptist church, takes excep-
ton to at least one of the assertions
of Rev. John H. Dennis, the pastor of
the church, in the statement which he
made on Sunday evening concerning
the meeting held in the church last
Friday evening. In his statement Pas
tor Dennis said: 1.-THE figures given out
by the clerk were simply suggestions.
She kept no minutes Of anything that
happened investigated her books be-
fore she left. Therefore the statement
was a falsehood."
Mrs. Drury made the following sign
ed statement to The Bulletin on Men
day night:

corning the records kept Friday night

Disputes Church Clerks Statement

AtoPdbCS SIiuFCn 0ISFRS 0IaGGn1GhGs
Rev. ]. H. Dennis presented the fol-
lowing communication at The Bulletin
office on Monday evening:
With reference to the statement of
Mrs. Drury, the Mount Calvary church
clerk, it is both incorrect and mis-
leading. In the first place, all docu-
ments and papers coming before the
body are to be read by the church
clerk. record kept of the same, and
produced when called for. In this
respect she was not even clerk of the
meeting. The papers were not read by
her, and neither the assistant church
clerk, nor were those documents or
papers even put in her possession,
which after being read before the BODY
becomes the property of the church.
These papers were carried away by
those who brought them. Therefore, If
she took any minutes it had no real
connection with the meeting. Those
would have been precious documents
in the possession of the church, or In
the hands of the pastor. 1 defy anyone
to dispute these facts. I still stand in
the light of reason and contending for
truth.

Officials.
SHARP REPLY
TO CARRANZA
Army and Navy Heads Are
REPRESENTATIONS
Flee.
~ ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, June 13.-"Unless
conditions in Mexico force action" the
United States reply to the Carranza
note, demanding the withdrawal will
probably be delayed until after the
st. Louis convention. The admins
tration desires to avoid drastic step
at time when it might appear % be
prompted by political influence, but
the rapid growth Of anti-American
propaganda in northern Mexico may
take the situation of the adnninistra-
tion's hands.
No officials ventured to predict to-
night what might be expected in the
near future.
Washington is contemplating no
aggressive action of its own motion,
but stands ready to act should an as
sault on Americans or an attack on
Pershing force the issue.
A sharp rejoinder is being prepared
to the Carranza note. 1t will repeat
Wilson's determination to keep the
American troops in Mexico until Car
rama shows his ability to cope with
the situation. It also rebukes the de
facto government for questioning the
good faith of the United States.
Steps have been taken to prepare
for any emergency.
Conferences between the war and
navy departments resulted in a plan
to remove fleeing Americans from
Mexican ports. 1t is known that the
possibility of calling out more state
militia has been the subject of dis
cussion.
While the attitude of Carranza to-
wards the demonstration is friendly
to the United States, the control of
the first chief over the various ele-
ments of his army is weakening, ac-
cording to official reports.

A petition was presented asking
the board to rescind the resolution
passed several months ago, providing
for a IA mill tax assessment for

Several of the members present stated
that it would seem foolish to take
such action when the work was re-
ceiving such widespread attention,
and the resolution was sustained.
County Attorney Reese submitted
an opinion to the board that the con-
victs could be used in the construc-
ton of dipping watts, without viola
ton of the statute The board had
previously asked Mr.. Reese's opinion.

stration Agent, Miss Lonny Landrum,
asked the board to appropriate S4OO
for the work next year, and requested
immediate action, as the state has Of
fered to give $500 for the work to
the first ten counties appropriating
the above amount. The petition was
tabled until the next meeting.

WILSON WRITES
THE PLATFORM
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

st. Louis, June 13.-Secretary
Baker arrived tonight, bringing the
platform drafted by President Will
son and direct word from the presi-
dent that he desired the reEomina-
ton of Vice President Marshall.
Vice presidential booms, around
which most of the pre-convention
fights have conferred, wilted away and
Secretary Baker effectually disposed
of the boom in his own behalf which
had attained such prominence that
some thought Marshall lacked the
genuine administration support.
President Wilson's draft of a plat
form will be delivered to Senator
Stone, chairman-to-be of the resolu-
tons committee. Little change is an
ticipated.
Secretary Baker said he came here
as a means of communication between
the committee, convention and the
president. The convention promised
to open tomorrow with the utmost
harmony with program for plat
form and nominations worked out.
Although Secretary Baker declined
to disclose the presidents views, it
is learned the principal planks of the
platform will deal with the admin
istration's trials and achievements in
handling international and Mexican
affairs, its rapid steps toward "pre-
paredness for peace" and a record
for industrial legislation contributing
to general prosperity.
Despite the agitation by some DEM
ocratic leaders, President Wilson, it
is said, disapproved of the insertion
of the plank criticising the nomina-
ton of supreme court justice for
the presidency or favoring the con-
stitutional amendment prohibiting
the justice from seeking other than
federal offices.
1t is understood the platform will
suggest that women continue their
efforts for the ballot in their respec-
tive states.
Secretary Baker also brought plans
for campaign in behalf of Presi-
dent Wilson. The president has not
decided what part he will play in
the actual campaign. Vice President
Marshall, Secretaries Baker and Lane,
Senators James, Lewis, Hollis, Reed,
Owens and Representative Kitchin
will cover The country.
Colonel House said he declined the
campaign managership and no deci-
sion is reached on many under con-
sideration.
