Preparations are being made to
carry to the supreme court the case Of
G.. d. Hartness ct al VS.. j. ID. Dothe-
row ct al, which involves the owner
hip of the Cumberland Presbyterian
,hurch in this city. The case arises
from schism between the Cumber-
and Presbyterian church of the Unit
ed States of America and the South
arn Cumberland Presbyterian church.
When the two bodies divided some
thing over year ago the parent or
ganization claimed ownership of the
local church, and members of the
congregation instituted suit by which
they seek to retain control of the
property, the suit having been
brought in the name of Mr.. Dothe-
row and other officers Of the church
In the lower court the case was de-
cided in favor Of the Cumberland Pres
byterian Church United States OF

tive brief, which will soon be pre-
sented to the supreme court. The

NOEL IGNORES TIP
TO WITHDRAW
TELLS CREENVILLE MAN HE
WILL GIVE WHOLE TIME TO
DEFEAT VARDAMAN.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. ga few
days ago W. X. Gildart, of Greenville,
addressed an open letter to former
Governor Noel urging him to get out
of the senatorial race and let pat"
Harrison fight it out alone with
Senator Vardaman. Saturday Mr..
Noel replied, saying among other
things:
CAS- a candidate for the United
State Senate | regard myself as a re-
cruiting officer in this great work Of
enlistment to which intend to give,
next year, my whole service. There
may be other recruiting officers who
could make enlistments not available
to me, and | could make some not
open to them. In next years primary
when the majority, through there
electors, shall choose in the second,
f not in the first, battalion com
mander for our Democratic hosts,
than all that are true to the flag will
support the cause in which they are
enlisted, and our President, who is
not only under our Constitution and
avs, our chosen chief executive, but
also the ommander-in-ehief of our
armies and naves. Disloyalty to
him, carping criticisms of his princi-
)len and policies, and obstructive
political tactics, give aid, comfort and
Encouragement to Germany and her
allies, just as much or more as fight
ng under her flag, whatever may be
underlaying purposes or motives. To
ote for man, in the primary or
General election, who not only oppos-
ID President Wilson's preparedness
policies and the declaration of a
,, state of war made by congress, but
has since characterized that war as
nothing "but quarrel between rulers
encouraged and instigated by the com
mercial bandits and human cormo-
rants who grow rich and fatten up
no the spoils of war, and the entry
Of our nation as 'stabbing Germany
the back while France and England
have her down.
This does not say in so many words
that he is candidate and is going to
20 remain, but his friends believe
! hat is what he means in thus quoting
Vardaman.-- Times -Picayune.

POPE'S PROPOSAL, FOR
PRESENT AT LEAST,
is REJECTED.
MEN SOON TO SERVE NOTE TO PONTIFF
President Leaves Way Open
for Further Proposals and
Discussions.

President Wilson on Tuesday re-
jected, for the present at least, the
peace plan submitted by Pope Bene-
dict XIV. He sent a note to the
Pope declaring that the United States
must continue to fight until the gov
ernment is satisfied that a treaty
would be more than another scrap
Of paper" to be torn up by Germany's
ulers at will.
The Presidents note, while re-
lection of peace for the present,
leaves the way open for further pro-
posals and discussions. A synopsis
Of the Presidents note, as given to
the press, follows:
1--WE cannot take the word of the
present rulers Of Germany as qua
lantee Of anything that is to endure"
he says, And later he adds:
ITO deal with such a power as the
present rulers of Germany upon Pope
Benedict's PLAN" declared the presi-
dent, "would involve recuperation
of the strength and renewal of the
world domination policy of that
power, now baked, but not defeated,
after sweeping continent with
blood Of innocent women and chill
dren and the helpless poor, as well as
or soldiers.
Permanent peace must be based
upon the faith of all the peoples and
upon Justice and fairness and the
common rights of mankind" he adds,
"and we cannot take the word of the
present rulers of Germany as guar
antee of anything that is to endure.
unless explicitly supported by such
conclusive evidence of the will and
purpose of the German people them
selves as the other peoples Of the
world would be justified in accept
ing"

TENTATIVE AMENDMENT
TO BILL is DRAFTED
AT CONFERENCE.
MAY COMPROMISE
Opposing Factions Expected
to Reach Satisfactory Agree
ment Soon.

A press dispatch sent out from
Washington Tuesday says: Senate
finance committee leaders recogniz-
ing the growing demand for heavier
taxation upon war profits tentatively
drafted at private conferences today
amendments to the war tax bill de-
signed to increase the gross levy on
this source from 26 per cent to about
33 1-3 per cent, and the revenue to
be derived from 100000 to
100000. These amendments
will be offered as a compromise in an
effort to head off more drastic in
creases advocated by Senator'S John
son of California, LaFollette, Borah
and others.
Leaders of the so-called con-
servatives confidently predicted that
they would muster sufficient strength
to insure the adoption Of compro-
mise, but supporters of the higher
rates apparently were equally as sure
that they would make the levy not
less than so per cent.
Consideration on the Senate floor
of war profits taxation--the vital is
sue in the fight over the revenue
bill-drew nearer during the day
when the Senate struck out provis-
ions for one cent increase in letter
postage and arranged to dispose of
publishers tax features tomorrow.
Senator Hardwick's motion to
eliminate the letter postage tax, es-
timated to raise $50,000,000, was
adopted, 80 TO %: the Seaate spent
the rest of the day debating the pro
posals for increases in second class
mail rates and five per cent special
tax on publishers income. In elm
mating all taxes on first-class mail
provision was retained for FREQ
postage on letters mailed by Ameri-
can soldiers abroad.
