ANOTHER ELKTON MINISTER
OUSTED.
Unfrocked a For Commercializins

f-.
Following the ousting of Rev.
John McElmoyle, pastor of Elkton
Presbyterian church, who was put
out of his church after a bitter
fight, and the unfrocking of Rev.
Mr.. Carr also, for commercializing
marriage, another minister has been
deposed at Elkton.
The Whig publishes the following
concerning the case:
REV. Richard T. Western, who in
August last, at the suggestion of the
'Anti-Combine' jitney drivers, set up
as a rival to Rev. w. r. Moon, in the
Elkton Gretna Green, was given
trial by the Quarterly Conference of
Mt. Salem M. e. Church, Whining
ton, on Tuesday night ON four sep
arate charges, all grounded on nom
conformance with the provisions of
the Book of Discipline Of the Church.
Chief Of these was high imprudence
and unministerial conduct in COM
mercializing the sacred ceremony of
marriage. The jury was composed
of Rev. Leonard White and fifteen
laymen Of Mt. Salem Church. He
was convicted on all the charges,
and by the verdict, under the regu-
lations of the Church, ceases to be a
minister. Superintendent Robert
Watt, of Wilmington District was
directed to demand his ordination
papers. DIR. Watt brought about
the trial of Mr.. Westren,. who was
heard on his own behalf. He ad-
mitted that he had agreed to split
fees, ranging from 50 to $40, from
couples, on q 'fifty-fifty' basis, with
the jitney men, who brought them
to the rented room where the cere-
mony was performed. He told the
Court he saw no harm in the ar
as other ministers had
done likewise.
"Mr. Western has worked a small
farm near Theodore for some years
past. He came East from Montana,
where he had filed charges. Bishop
Cook informed DR.. Watt that Mr..
Western had been located or given
the status of a local preacher for
sufficient reasons. He had failed,
after coming East, to connect him
self with a quarterly conference as
the Discipline requires. Under the
Discipline he cannot appeal from the
verdict, DIR. Watt stated that he
had notified the States Attorney
that Mr.. Western can no longer
marry couples and that, If he did
not return his credentials, recourse
would be had to the Court for their
recovery as church property, which
he has no right to hold. States
Attorney Warburton notified Mr.
Western that he. must not marry
any more couples, pending final set
tlement of his ministerial status,
and he is said to have agreed not to
perform any more ceremonies.
Mr.. Western has not only obeyed
the advice of his counsel and States
Attorney Warburton to cease per-
forming ceremonies, but has given
up his marrying parlors" in Elkton
and returned to his farm TO till the
soil. Rev. Daniel LockerIy, an or
dained Presbyterian minister who
came to Elkton this week from Phil
adelphia, has rented the "parlors"
by Mr.. Westren and has al
ready performed several wedding
ceremonies.

Maine Artillery
Men End Tour
at Portland Forts

Portland. Me-, Sept. 1.-THE last
two shots of service practice of the
Maine National Guard. Coast Artil-
lery. were fired this morning and the
practice and instruction work of the
guardSmen came to an end. The two
rounds from Battery Sullivan were
fired by the members of the Fifth Co.
Of Rockland, with Capt. Ralph w.
Brown in command, at a pyramidical
target towed by one of the quartermas-
ter tugs, and the work of both the
range and gun sections was excellent.

commander, and was under the super
vision of Maj. Clarence r. Marsh, G..
A. C., instructor, who was aided by
Capt. Homer Case, c. A. c.. at the fire
control station, and Lieut.. Courtney
p. Young, c. A. c., at the battery.
The first of the service shots were
fired yesterday afternoon from Bat
teries Blair and DeHart, but darkness
prevented the completion of the work
and it was continued until this morn
ing.
All that remains for the guardsmen
to do now is to clean up the battery
equipment and make the final prepa-
rations for the breaking of camp,
which will be done early tomorrow
morning. The guns at the three bat
teries used for sub-calibre and serv-
ice practice were cleaned this after
noon and the emplacements ''policed."
Early tomorrow morning the tents
which have housed the officers and
Is days, will be struck and Mai
Charles W. Davis of the adiutant
generals department will begin pay
ing off the troops at 3.
1t is expected that all the soldiers
will be homeward bound at noon. tho

Rockland respectively by special train
early in the afternoon, and the Sixth
Co. of Sanford leaving for its home
station on a special car attached to
the regular train at noon. First Co
of Portland will return to this city by
trolley.
The final affair of the encampment
will be the dance to be given at the
Cape Cottage Casino this evening by
members of the non-commissio toned
staff, when it is expected that many
of the officers and men of the Ma
tional Guard will attend and that there
will also be a large attendance of
civilians from Portland and South

JAPAN WISHES
REOPENINGOF
PACIFIC CASES

Toxic, Aug. 6.-(By MaiD-If the
present political situation in the
Far East is revised at the Wash
ington conference, Them earlier
acts of powers affecting the Paci-
fic should also be reconSidered, it
is argued among Japanese publicists
This follows Japan's contention in
it's reply to the United States that
questions regarded as accomplished
facts should be avoided at the con-
ference
Professor Matsunami. an authority
on International law who was a dele
gate to the Hague conference, insists,
Gor example. that the Panama Canal
should be placed under international
control for the benefit of the world.
He declares that if the conference
asks Japan to evacuate Siberia and
to abandon Korea and Formosa, then
it should also ask the United States
to return most of the United States
to the Indians and grant independ-
ence to Hawaii and the Philippines.
Great Britain. he added, should then
make Canada and Australia com
pletely free and return Hongkong to
China.
Apprehensions of drastic revisions
of Japan's position in the Far East
which are finding renewed expression
are believed to be the inspiration of
comments like these.
The Yorodzu says it is convinced
that the conference will place Japan
on the "chopping board" 1t fears
that the twenty-one demands on
China will be annulled and that
Japan will be forced to evacuate
South Manchuria.
1t attacks American annexation Of
Hawaii and the occupation of the
Philippines. condemns British poli-
cies in India. South Africa and China
and warns its millions of readers
that the white race looks upon the
world as its exclusive possession and
regards colored people as brutes
Japan therefore, the Yorodzu
holds. should take the offensive al
the conference and probe past acts
OF the white nations in whose foot
steps Japan merely followed.
