WASHINGTON DOUBTS
REPORT ABOUT PRINCE

WASHINGTON. May 24--state de-
partment officials were frankly skep-
teal Of the accuracy of the report
that Prince Won Buelow was coming
to Washington on a special mission
from Emperor William: They have
received no official or unofficial intI-
nation that such visit was In pros
pect. =
A high official pointed out that the
report originated in London, which,
to his mind. cast doubt upon Its
proof since II was certain to be Wide
ly discussed as a possible peace over
ture from Germany. The Berlin
government, he said, hassnot yet seen
at to suggest q peace move otiiciaily
or confidentially in any way. \
The possibility that the former
chancellor would supplant Count Won
Bernstorff here also was greatly
doubted in Official circles. Ambas-
sador Won Bernstorff's diplomatic
achievements through the submarine
controversy. It was stated, seemed
to make II certain that he would be
kept undisturbed by his goycrn-
ment.

KAISER SENDS BUELOW
ON A SPECIAL MISSION
To Washington According to
What the Exchange TeIe-
graph Company Says.
TO BECOME AMBASSADOR
Move May Be the Preliminary
Step of Bringing About
Peace in Europe.

LONDON. May 24.-The Exchange
Telegraph Company says II learns
from diplomatic circles that Prince
Won Buelow. former German cham
cellor. is proceeding to. Washington,
charged by Emperor William with q
special mission.
The Exchange Telegraph Company
also says II understands Prince Won
Buelow will become ambassador to
tho United States. This information is
said to have been obtained from dip
lomatic circles In London.
Prince Won Buelow, one OF the fore
most statesmen OF Europe. has been
referred to frequently In the last few
months as the man who might be Sc
lected by Emperor William to conduct
preliminary peace negotiations should
they be undertaken. He had been mem
toned in this connection not only on
account of his experience and ability
but because he, has occupied rather
detached position so far as actual con-
duct Of the war is concerned. $50

WARNINGS ARE.
SOUNDED BY
THE ASSEMBLY
To All Presbyterians Contained
in a Report Adopted by the
General Assembly.

ATLANTIC CITY, May 24.-The gen
eral assembly Of the Presbyterian
church in the United States today
adopted without debate report from
the committee on bills and overtures
warning the New York and all other
Presbyteries that the tenents Of the
church must be accepted by candidates
for the ministry before they should be
ordained. This action, It Is believed,
ends further discussion In the present
assembly Of the alleged heresy ques-
ton in which the New York Presbytery
and the Union Theological Seminary
are involved.
The committee had before 1t more
than two dozen overtures from Presby-
teries from many parts Of the country
dealing with the heresy controversy.
The one which attracted the most at
tention and to which serious considera-
ton was given by the committee was
that from the Cincinnati Presbytery
which proposed that the New York
Presbytery be expelled because 1t IL
censed three young men who are al
legged to hold views at variance with
the doctrines of the church.
Warning against the growth Of
Mormonism was sounded before the
assembly during the discussion ON
the report on home missions by the
Rev. John s. shepperd. Of Twin
Falls. Idaho. A plea was made for
better pay for home missionaries and
the members Of the church were
asked to give up the use OF butter
for one month and devote the money
saved to a home mission fund. Action
on the report was deferred.

Chief Executives Presentation
of Campaign Issues Arouses
Great Enthusiasm.

l..
LOGAN. May 24-Speaki before a
lnrge and enthusiastic crowd at Logan
Tuesday afternoon and another at
Holden last night Governor Hatfield
invaded the county Of his nativity In
defense Of his administration. Hun
dreds OF his personal and political
friends, many companions Of his child
hood, turned out to welcome the chief
executive and voice their. approval Of
his official record. The ovation given
him was remarkable. It demonstrated
that while the sun is setting on his
administration his influence Is In no
sense on the wane and his hold on the
confidence and affection Of the people
is as strong today as 1t ever was. The
speaker had little to say sabout the
contest being waged for the Republi-
can nomination for governor. combining
himself almost exclusively to a review
Of his achievements while in Office.
He struck sledge-hammer blows,
however. at his opponents, conspicuous
Along whom is Abe Lilly, candidate
for the gubernatorial nomination, de-
claring they are trying to discredit him
because he insisted on serving the
people instead Of the greedy corpora
tons.
Quoting figures to show that every
dollar Of the. million appropriated
by the legislature OF 1913 and provided
by the legislature Of 1915 at the second
extra session was expended for per-
manent improvements and additions to
state institutions the speaker repudi-
ated his forces who have been charg-
ing his administration with extrava-
gance. He declared West Virginia is
one Of the most economically governed
states in the union and cited cases OF
congestion In the state institutions 10
prove the need for the improvements
made. The insane were compelled to
lie In jails because there were no state
funds available to remove them to
hospitals. he declared. Many other
narrowing examples were quoted to
show the need for the appropriations
which made necessary the fourteen
cent levy for 1915 after all indirect
taxation measures had been defeated.
The governor said the levy for this
year would be less than ten cents and
predicted that 1t would drop to less
than FIVE cents in 1917. And yet
we hear off1ceseekers who are willing
to sell their souls, prostitute their
honor and bow down at the feet Of
greed and selfshness for their financial
and political support. hoping thereby
to get into office talking about extray-
agance. he declared. Declaring that
he knows Of corporations that have
threatened to discharge their employees
II they refuse to vote for their candi-
date for governor. the speaker assert
ed that he did not believe the stalwart
mountaineers Of West Virginia would
lie supinely down and permit them
selves to be shackled by those plumber
ers who seek to sack the state by. plac-
ing an executive in the governors
office that would do their bidding.
The governor reiterated that he was
not responsible for Judge Robinson's
candidacy and did not tell any state
employees to support him. He offered
to contribute $1,000. to the campaign
fund Of any candidate to prove that he
did. 4 80 II :
