Pastor Leaves Note Declaring His
"lnnocence Before God" of the
Charges Made-Accusers Too
Late in Believing Him.

Mars Hill, Me.-This community,
nesting in the foothills of Mars noun
tains, is stunned by the knowledge
that Rev. Charles r. Carlton, who re-
Gently committed suicide, following
charges made by a hysterical girl of
thirteen, was driven to his death an
innocent man. The charges now have
been retracted by the girl.
A note penned by the pastor just
before he took his life with hunt
ing rifle has been found.
In it he swore his Innocence be-
fore God" of the charges with which
small group of impulsive citizens
confronted him on the evening pre-
vious, demanding that he never preach
from the pulpit again, but he felt the
childs story always would be taken
regardless of all he might say.
On the afternoon before Easter
Sunday a number of women at the
Mars Hill Methodist Episcopal church

ate the pulpit and auditorium. Mr..
Carlton offered to assist them. About
five o'clock the women said they need
ed the help of some children who
could stand on a ladder and reach
high places.
Incident at the Church.
The pastor volunteered to find a
child. He inquired for boy at a
nearby home. The lads sister offered
to go instead. Returning to the church
the minister found his women parish
toner's had left. The thirteen-year-old
girl climbed the shaky ladder and
suddenly lost her balance. AS she
fell the pastor caught her in his arms.
She became hysterical, began to
weep, and despite his efforts refused
to calm herself. In this condition
she ran to her home. There she
blurted out a story Of having been
swent into the arms Of the pastor.

Gently wrote to Mr.. Untermyer that there
was no demand for slot machine tele-

New York Telephone Company. He
adds that II 1t proposes to do nothing

'The telephone Is the only public util-

From information available this eve
ming the French are prepared, II the con-
feretice presses the point, to accept the
Root resolutions as they stand.
It is understood from NJ. Sarraut that
France would do this rather than hear
any more suggestions that she Is hold
ing up the work Of the conference. As
for the Balfour addition making the
American anti-submarine resolutions
immediately bindir,x among the five
Powers. America. Great Britain; France,
Japan and Italy. he is also ready to ad-
here ito this.
Nj, Sarraut hints that 1t may be pos
sible,to settle the whole question OF the
Root resolutions in single sitting.
.I have heard 1t stated" he said. that
the present conference is the greatest
ever; held and am quite prepared to be-
lieve 1t. We live too close to the events
to appreciate them. Germs are now be-
ing laid of things that will be OF great
est utility in the future Of the world.
France agrees with other Powers to
condemn submarine warfare and hither-
to, perhaps, has erred on the side or
discretion In failing to make her attitude
perfectly clear. We are agreed to put
the submarine in the same class as sur
face vessels. and the question now before
the conference is to find out exactly
where we stand under the new rules.
THE submarine is to become kind
OF scout and we do not object to the idea
that submarine must not sink vessels
when II cannot take off the crews
"Qn the whole France has been very
badly treated because her position has
not been understood. On the occasion
of a plenary meeting I shall have the
opportunity to speak on this subject and
shall then be able fully to state our
case
THE first thing to understand Is that
Frarce does unreservedly condemn SUBJ
marine warfare as practiced by the
Germans, and our submarine fleet Is in
tended to keep open our communications
with our far-flung empire and to defend
tho .troopships that France might have
to employ If she were ever attacked
again. Many of our white troops are
also sent to our colonies and we have
to prepare for rushing them back to
defend our homeland in case of neces-
sity."

The flood OF charges made by the
Chita representatives drew from Baron
Tomasaburo Kato for the Japanese a
general denial OF the charge of financing
the various Russian groups. 1t was ac-
companied by an admission that at the
outset of the present disturbed condi-
tions in Siberia the Japanese Govern
ment did extend aid to Gen. Ataman
Semenoff. 1t was explained that this
aid consisted OF ammunition. supplies
and some money. the Baron having for
gotten the amount. Baron Kato's state
ment says:
"I told you yesterday that a former
japanese Cabinet had given support to
Semenoff In Siberia. ! should like now
to tell ou something more about that
matter so that there will be clear un-
derstanding Of the case. About the time
the allied cuntingents were dispatched
to Siberia in 1918 there had developed an
anomalous situation In Siberia. ewing to

II was thought to be as urgent as Il was
der a Russian command. Gen. Semenoff
was reported in those days to intend
waging war against Bolsheyists, and
Japan decided to give him material sup
port In his attempt. In corning to. that
decision Japan was by no means
actuated by any aggressive designs. but
was only following the line Of policy
adopted by some of the allied Powers,
notably Great Britain and France. to
intrust to Russian forces the task OF
resisting the Bolshevik menace.
subsequently, the Teutonic influence
was swept away and the general situa-
tion in Siberia was transformed. The
German menace ceased, and the fac
tional feuds in Siberia began to attain
a purely domestic character. Semenoff,
Kolchak and leaders Of the Social Revo-
lutionaries were. In turn at loggerheads.
In such circumstances the Japanese
Government decided to discontinue its
support Of Semenoff entirely and to OBJ
serve strict neutrality in. the Siberian
situation. Japan has since given no
assistance whatever to Gen. Semenoff.
