By Associated Press

evident to-day that the big leaders of

trying to stave off bitter debate on

the floor of the convention here over

the alleged hetrodoxy of the New

ter smothered without any discussion

on the part of the assembly in open

session.

tures, J. KOSB Stevenson, Princeton,

New York Presbytery controversy, en

gendered by the petition filed by the

Cincinnati Presbytery, supported by

others, because three students who

failed to profess some of the cardinal

principles of the Presbyterian church

had been ordained by the New York

Presbytery.

J.ivcly Arguments Expected

There are several compromise over

tures now before the committee. One

proposes that a committee be appoint

ed by the assembly to go to the New

York Presbytery and make a thor

ough investigation and then report

back.

Before the overtures reach the floor

it is predicted that the convention

will witness some lively arguments be

cause of (he distribution of hundreds

of pamphlets, written by the Rev.

John Fox, a member of the New York

Presbytery on the subject "Critical

however, indicating hostile movements

of any band near Colonel Sibley's two

Mutiny Charged Against

Members of Texas Militia

Washington, D. ('., Mav 22.—Court

martial confronts llti enlisted men of

the Texas National Guard for their re

fusal to respond to the call for service

on the Mexican border.

Under the Dick militia law, accord

ing to the terms of which the guards

men were called out, such court

martial is provided for refusal to re

spond. but it is discretionary with the

War Department whether the clause

shall be enforced or ignored.

While some of the officials of the

War Department believe that court

martial might be a good object lesson

it is hardly likely that Secretary Baker,

of the War Department, will give his

approval to such a course.

Now lit)sis for Attack

The chief effect of the failure of the

militia of Texas. Arizona and New

Mexico to meet the emergency along

the border will be to provide a new

basis for attack on the national guard

in Congress. The members of the Sen

ate who have been contending that the

United States cannot rely upon the

national guard as a nucleus for a vol

unteer army in time of war are now

preparing to say that experience along

the border supports their contention.

Advocates of the national guard,

however, point out that the govern

ment issued its call to the organ

izations which were in the poorest

shape to respond: that if the call I ad

gone forth to the militia In any of

the eastern Stataes there would have

been a different result.

General Funston IF said to be pre

paring to request more coast artillery

men. since after twelve days he has re

ceived no help from the "militia. »nd

since this delay has compelled him to

withdraw troops from Mexico to guard

the border.

j ry Morgenthau. who recently resigned

I as ambassador to Turkey, spoke before

| the Wise (.'enter Forum here yester

i day and told his listeners that the

i sale of Palestine after the war, so

that the Ottoman empire might secure

money, had been discussed by him. He

told of how he broached the matter to

the Turkish ministry and how eagerly

it was discussed.

"We even got down to figures." said

Mr. Morganthau. "They argued as to

whether it should be an international

State or a republic."

Mr. Morganthau said that as to

whether Russian and German Chris

tians would allow the Jews to possess

Palestine was thoroughly discussed.

"I told the ministry that if a harbor

was built at Jaffa, Jerusalem would

yearly attract 500,000 visitors who

would spend at least SIOO each. See

ing that there was a way for the Jews

to pay for Palestine the Ottoman gov

ernment wanted to make concess:ons

immediately and asked that the build

ing of a harbor and hotels be started,"

I he stated.
