CHURCH MUDDLE
IS UP TO LEAGUE
Greece Explains Expul-
sion of Patriarch in
Long Letter
fBy Tho Associated Press.)

GENEVA, March 11.-An extraordin-
AIRY situation has arisen over the expul-
sion of the Greek Patriarch CONSTANT.
nos from Constantinople, through the
receipt of long letter from Turkey by
the council Of the league Of nations in
which the Angora government argues
that the deportation was justified. AS
Turkey previously had asked the coun-
Gil not to discuss the patriarch ques-
tion because it was purely internal and
the council without jurisdiction. the
Greek delegation had seized upon the
letter as showing that Turkey virtually
admits the competency Of the council by
arguing the case in its ten page COM
munication.
A Greek spokesman said today that
under the circumstances the case be-
comes a judicial question which should
be submitted to the permanent court of
international Justice. The Greeks de.
clPre they will urge such procedure
unless the dispute is settled outside the
council. They deny the Turkish report
that the Holy Synod Of the Orthodox
church has agreed to elect a new pa
triarch 80
Meantime todays public meeting of
the council was sort of field dav for
the world court. Both Greece and Tur
key accepted the courts recent decision

dwelt upon the Importance they attach

tory. Opponents of the bill charged it
was unconstitutional and that the only
legal way to vindicate Ferguson was to
submit the matter to the polls in the
form of constitutional amendment.
Ferguson advocates countered by declar-
ing that a constitutional amendment
was unnecessary and that inasmuch as
the legislature had impeached Ferguson.
the Legislature could revoke that action.
Little opposition was voiced to the pro-
position Of granting amnesty, the bono
of contention being the method of ac-
complishing it.
The bill remains to be finally passed
by the house, but in view of the sub
stantial majority given it last night its
passage is considered assured. Lead
ers of the pro-amnesty forces planned to
force vote today. The bill would
then go to Governor Miriam A. Fer
guson( wife Of the ousted governor, for
her signature.
Ferguson's removal from office in
1917 followed his conviction on several
counts of malfeasance in office. the
principle charge against him being that
of misapplication Of public funds.
With the storm of amnesty over, the
legislature started in today calmly to
clean up the debris left by the up
heavals Of the last few days and to get
