Strong Sentiment for
War on Turkey

Washington. June 20-Through
Spain and Sweden the American gov
eminent sought further information
today regarding the seizure of the
American consulate at Tabriz. Persia,
and looting of an American hospital
there by Turks. Only the meager &C.
count of the incident contained in a
dispatch yesterday from Minister
Caldwell at Teheran. has reached the
state department so far. and that gave
no details and threw no light upon
the situation now existing at Tabriz
There will be no hasty action by
the United States toward recognizing
what may have been an act of war
and thereby adding Turkey to the ma
tons enemies. A complete and Off
cial report will be awaited before the
state department lays before Presi-
dent Wilson the information upon
which he will base decision as to
whether he will ask congress for an
other war declaration.
Strong sentiment in congress in IA
vor of declaring a state of war with
both Turkey and Bulgaria, has been
held in check only by executive in.

Refuse to Grant
Express Carriers
Rate Advances

Washington, June 2O.-The inter
state commerce commission today
handed down an order refusing tC
grant the express companies applica
tion for ten per cent increase in rates
and few minutes later withdrew the
order without explanation.
The leading express companies ap
piled last fall for permission to raise
their rates ten per cent. Shippers in.
terests made little objection to the
proposed increases in hearings be-
fore the commission and it had been
generally believed that the commits
sion would permit the increase as
soon as the railroad administration
had concluded its negotiations looking
to formation OF united express COM
pany. These negotiations were COM
pleted yesterday.
Representatives of the express COM
panies and of shippers expressed
great surprise wyhen the decision re-
fusing the increase was handed down
this morning. A few minutes later Of
ficials of the commission announced
that a mistake had been made in an
nouncing the decision but declined to
say whether it might be revised on
further consideration.

BIG NOISE WAS BURSTING OF
A METEOR, DECLARES DIR. REED
(Tampa Tribune.)

Tampans who were startled by hear
ing loud explosion Monday night
about 1880 o'clock, will be glad to
krow it was not an enemy submarine
or aeroplane on bombing expedition.
neither the work of any anarchist or
II. w. w. enthusiast.
What happened to be the true ex-
planation of the noise was furnished
yesterday by DR.. R. NJ. Reed, the den
tlst. DR.. Reed states that he was
standing at the intersection of Sew
enth avenue and Thirtieth street wait
ing for a car, when he heard heavy
sound. Looking toward the northeast
he saw a phosphorescent light, fol-
lowed by meteor.
DR.. Reed has studied meteors and
believes that what he heard was the
bursting of large one high in the
air and considerable distance to the
north-eastward He did not look quite
quickly enough to see the explosion
itself, but saw the traces of 1t, fol-
lowed by the second meteor
Frequently small meteors are seen
to fall during the month Of October,
when the earth encounters many of
them in its course. Meteors a. this
time of year are rarity, however.
When seen, these strange visitors
usuually burn themselves out before
striking the ground and very seldom
make any noise There have been cas-
e., however, where huge meteors have
embedded themselves in the earth.
Meteors are hard bodies presum-
ably cast off from other planets and
consist of mineral substances. The
high speed at which they travel
causes them to become glowing hot
as soon as they strike the earth's at
jnosphere.

Four Year
Limit Has Thus
Been Removed
DEBATE, LASTING SINCE YESTER.
DAY. HAS FINALLY BROKEN
CUSTOM OF MANY YEARS
(By Associated Press.)

Atlanta, May S.-When the debate
over the removal of the four-year
limit on preachers was resumed at
the Southern Methodist General Con-
ference today, Rev. A. J. Lamar, Of
Nashville, urged an amendment OF
tie majority report of the committee
on revisals providing upon request of
"a Quarterly Conference bishop can
appoint preacher for more than four
years.
The Conference later adopted the
amendment.
Those favoring the minority report
|of the committee held that such a
change as demanded would be revolu,
|tionary and would multiply several
times the whole discomfort in the
Southern Methodist church. They
claimed this so-called constructive
work would cause friction and annoy
ance.
|E Preachers Condemn Time Limit
In support Of removing the time
limit, Rev. e. G. B. Mann of Lexing-
ton, KY, said: "At the end of four
years the Lord himself can't continue
a man in charge of church, no mat
ter how badly the congregation and
community needs him. The almanac
decides that he must move. It Is time
to do away with this restriction, root
and branch"
Rev. A. P. Lyon, of Louisville. KY,
vigorously asserted that the time limit
was a heartless piece of machinery,
crushing aspirations and ann.hiliat-
ing plans for the future and that the
time had come when 1t was necessary
ia order that preacher may do his
best work that he remain with a
church so long as he gave satisfac-
tion.
hoNOluJlOHuIy Was IHe WOTu uSGl
by the Rev. Bascom Anthony, of VAL
dosta, Ca. as he pleaded with the DEL
egates to not change the law as 1t
now stands. He said such a change
would create an aristocracy under
which a few men would rise to the
top, secure the best appointments and
hold them.
T +. Temple, lay delegate from
the Central Texas conference, after
expressing his opinion of good
preacher said: 81 am doubtful II I
would care to hear him eternally."
Others who spoke favoring the ma
jority report were Revs. II. NJ. Du-
bose, Nashville; c. Briscoe Carter,
Alexandria, La. James Cannon, Rich
Inond, Va, and John c. Parker,
Franklin, Va.
Among the advocates of the reten-
'tion of the time limit were the Revs.

countries. The proclamation follows:
"Inasmuch as the war fund Of 1917,
so generously contributed by the Am

lief at home and abroad, has been
practically exhausted by appropria-
tions for the welfare Of the men in
our military and naval forces, and for
those dependent upon them and for
the yet more urgent necessities Of our
allies, military and civilian, who have
long borne the brunt Of war;
"And ,inasmuch as the American
Red Cross has been recognized by
law and international convention as
The public instrumentality for war re-

And, inasmuch as the American
own participation in the war has
brought unprecedented demands upon
the patriotism and liberality of our
people and made evident the necessity

one main organization which can re-
spond effectively and universally to
the needs of humanity under stress
of war;
And. inasmuch as the duration of
the war and the closer and closer CO.
operation of the American Red Cross
with our own army and navy, with
the governments of our allies, and
with foreign relief organizations, have
resulted in the discovery of new oppor-
tunities of helpfulness under condi-
tions which translate opportunity in
to duty;
And inasmuch as the American
Red Cross War Council and its COM
missioners in Europe have faithfully
end economically administered the
peoples trust;
Now, therefore, by virtue of my
authority as president of the United

can Red Cross, I, Woodrow Wilson,
