UNIONIST LEADERS ON
CABINEt CHANGE
British Premier in Conier
ence With Balfour, Bonar
Law and Others.
Churchill and Kitchener
May Go.
L
LONDON. Mar SO.
The ciBfntio task of formlnp a. "war
Cabinet" occupied the attention of
Premier Aaqutth today, while tho nation
waits Impatiently for official news of
changes In the old ministry. Parliament
has adjourned until June 3, but It Is
expected that tho contemplated changes
Will be announced before that time.
At his official residence In Downing
street the Prlmo Minister today conferred
with Arthur J. Balfour, who Is said to
be slated to become First Lord of Ad
miralty: A. Bonar Law, Unionist leader,
who Is certain of n portfolio ; Lord l.ana
downe. Sir Kdward Grey, David Lloyd
George and Home Secretary McKcnna.
It Is still tho consensus of opinion that
Winston Spencer Churchill will have to
resign his place as First Lord of tho
Admiralty. Tho opinion Is Reneral, how
ever, that ho should be retained In the
Cabinet.
Lora Fisher, First Sea Lord, will re
tain his omce, It belne virtually certain
that the Cabinet has refused to accept
his resignation.
The belief that Earl Kitchener will
leave the Cabinet for active cervlce Is
Browing. A little while ago the Idol of
the nation, his popularity has been
dimmed by attacks of newspapers, which
chargo that he did not realize early
enough the Importance of high explosives
In this war. It Is admitted, however,
that when this wits proved to him ho
took tho proper measures to secure ade
quate bupplles.
Even among the Unionists there Is a
demand that Lloyd-George tnke over tho
War Office, with Lord Kitchener as commander-in-chief,
controlling the profes
sional Bide. It Is not known whether
Kitchener would consider such an ar
rangement. It Ih the Irony of the pres
ent situation that the newspapers which,
at theoutbreak of tho war, called for
the impeachment of Asqulth because he
did not appomt Kitchener to the War
OfTlco inow are leading the demand for
his removal.
Lord Haldanc, Lord High Chancellor,
is bcleved to be certain of retirement
Tho .Marquis of Crewe, Secretary of
Stato for India, is also to go, with Lewis
Hardourt, Secretary of State for the
Colonies, for whom It has been suggested
that' he be raised to the peerage and
made Viceroy of India. Augustine Blr
rellf Chief Secretary of Ireland, will go
willingly. It Is believed, as will the
Morouts of Crewe.

STATE BUDGET TO BE
ABOUT $67,000,000
Governor Expected to Cut Lit
tle of the General Appropria
tion Fund.
liy o Staff Correspondent
HAnmSBUItG. May 10 The appro
priation bills passed by the Legislature,
Which adjourns today, carry approxi
mately 167,000,000, aa against almost
330,000,000 In the bills which Governor
Tener knifed two years ago. The ap
propriations made this session are within
12,000,000 of tho estimated revenue for
tho next two years, and Governor Brum
baugh Will be forced to cut them very
little.
There wero 403 appropriation meas
ures passed by this Assembly, Including
the general appropriation bill. Whatever
cuts Governor Brumbaugh may make
will probably be In the general ap
propriation bill, as that measure carries
appropriations for bureaus, and boards
which will not start their work for soma
time.
The- approximate amounts voted the
larger activities follow:
Education (public, normal, vocational
and higher education), 319,000,000.
State highways, 18,400,000.
Operation of child labor and compen
sation acts, 32,300,000.
State, semlstato and charitable In
stitutions, 312,500,000.
The appropriation for education Is
31,430,000 larger than two years ago. The
hlghwayo appropriation contains $300,000
for the abolition of toll roads. This
means that during the next two years
31,000,000 of toll roads' will be abolished,
as In tho counties In which the roads
are bought the counties themselves must
pay half the cost.
NEGHO HOLDS UP MAN
Lower Merion Resident Robbed

Report for 1014 Shows" Deficit in Mu
nicipality's Treasury.
City Controller Walton, In a flnat re
port on municipal finances for 1914. sub
mitted to Councils today, shows that the
city's expenses during that year exceed
ed tho revenues from all sources by
0i,lM.T7. He expresses the belief that
the operating deficit threatens to be even
larger this year If the $1 tax rate for all
municipal purposes other than schools

In discussing the deficit. Controller Wal
ton sas In his report:
"Owing to a very large Increase In cur
rent expenses In 191 over 1813. tho elim
ination of an operating deficit, which
was anticipated In my annual report for
tho year 1813, was not realised. The IMS
deficit of T87,443.C1 was over a million
dollars less than the deficit for the year
1912, which amounted to $1,$2!1,W7.60, nnd
It was hoped that further economies
would be effected during 1914 that would
result In an operating surplus. The In
crease In current expenses, however,
kept even pace with tho Increase In rev
enue; In fact, slightly exceeded It, and
as a result there Is an operating de
ficit slightly In excess of the deficit shown
for tho year 1913."

BURNS DIGS UP
NEW EVIDENCE
Continued from I'axc One
pare to throw the revelations of Detectlvo
William J. Burns before the public with
out any fear of embarrassing the
Governor
Mr. Burns, when pressed further today
to give some hint of what disclosures
might he expected as a result of his four
years' Investigation of tho alleged cor
ruption and crookedness behind the deals
of the big Republican leaders and their
lieutenants In City Councils, referred all
questions to the Mayor.
"I have placed mself at. tho Mayor's
service," ho said, "and It would bo dis
courteous for mo to mako nny public
statement regarding the matter, as every
thing Is In his hands. The next movo
will havo to be determined upon by the
Mayor."
When asked yesterday what ho had to
say of tho detective's statements. Senator
McNIchol smiled and said he know so lit
tle of the Burns story that to answer
questions would bo absurd. "The Repub
lican party," tho Senator said, "Is on the
way to success, and eleventh-hour dec
larations will not change the situation."
Attorney General Brown said yesterday
Lthat he was "looking up whether concur
rent resolutions require the signature of
tho Governor." He did not say whether
the request for this Information camo
from the Governor or not. At the Gov
ernor's office In Harrlsburg It was said
that the resolution was expected to reach
Governor Brumbaugh at any time
It has heretofore been a disputed ques
tion whether concurrent resolutions aro
supposed to be signed by the Governor or
not. The Attorney General today said
that, after searching through the books
In his office, ho found that no decision of
,n. rn.iru una Ver aennueiy settled tho
question, and that the only law on the
matter states that only resolutions In
volving legislation are to be signed by the
Governor, excepting resolutions providing
a constitutional amendment and for ad
journment of the Legislature.
"The Wilson resolution Is for the crea
tion of an Investigating commlsslpn and
does not legislate," ho said In explana
tion. The decision establishes a prece
dent for the guidance of Governors In the
future.
The appointment of the members of the
commission Is expected to be made to
day. It Is freely predicted that four of
the six members will be Vare men. Rep
resentative Wilson, who Introduced the
resolution, wilt be chairman, and Speaker
Ambler. It was said today, will name
two other Vare men aa tho members of
the House. Senator Vare and two Mc
NIchol men will be named by Senator
Kline, president pro tern, of the Senate.
SUBMARINE SPARES SHIP
THAT RESCUED VICTIMS
Philadelphia Woman Writes of
Thrilling "War Zone" Experience.
A brief letter describing in the terse
war-tlmo phrases that make light of hard
ship her experience on a torpedoed Nor
wegian steamship has been received from
Mrs, B. M. Larsen, who lives much of tho
time In this city, by her mother, Mrs.
Barbara M, Amonson, of Newton. Mrs.
Larsen Is the wife of a retired sea cap
tain, who was for some years British
Consul General at Porto Cortex, Hon
duras. Captain and Mrs. Larsen were guests of
Captain Endiesen. master of the Norwe
gian steamship America. The ship was
torpedoed in the North Sea. May 1. and
after the two Philadelphia and the 89
members of the crew had been In open
boats 12 hours they were picked up by
another Norwegian boat, the Sterling.
They were proceeding In this when a Ger
man submarine, apparently the one that
torpedoed the America, halted them. Cap.
tain Endresen went aboard the submer
sible, and after he had explained how ha
rescued the crew and passengers of the
America the German submarine captain
permitted htm to continue. Captain and
Mrs. Larsen left this port March it,
bound for Bergen. They will visit rela
tives of the Captain at Christlanla, Nor
way, and spend the remainder of tha
summer touring northern Europe.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY
OF THE PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH IN SESSION
More Than 1200 Commis
sioners Attend 127th An
nual Meeting at Roches
ter, N. Y. Lively Con
test for Moderator.
ROCHESTER, N. T May 20.-A spirited
campaign Is being made by ministerial
and lay friends of at least three candi
dates for the place of Moderator of the
rresbytcrlnn General Assembly, with In
dications pointing strongly toward the
Rev. .f. Ross Stevenson, D. D LL. D
president of Princeton Theological Semtn
nry, ns tho favorite,
More than 1200 commissioners art at
the 127th General Assembly and they filled
Central Presbyterian Church when tho
meeting began at 10:30 o'clock this morn
ing Every State In the Union was repre
sented. The Rev. Matttand Alexander,
D. D., LL. D., of Pittsburgh, retiring
Moderator, preached the opening ser
mon. It was followed by Communion,
in which tho first set of Individual com
munion cups ever used In the church
In this country was In service.
Relative to tha election of a Moderator
It Is pointed out that Doctor Stevenson
Is n man who would satisfy both the
South nnd tho EtiBt, both of which sec
tions seem to think that thoy should be
considered In tho selection of a Moder
ator. CommUsloners from the East point
out the fact that tho ofllce of Moderator
should come here by rotation, while the
Southerners claim tho omce beoauso no
man from that section has been Moder
ator of General Assembly In a great many
years.
Doctor Stevenson, who Is a gradunto of
Washington and Jefferson College and tho
McCormlck Theological. Seminary of Chi
cago, has until recently been pastor of tho
Brown Memorial Church, In Baltimore.
He Is prominent In tho student voluntoer
movement Before going to Bnltlmora
Doctor Steenson was pnstor of the Fifth
Avenue Church In Now York.
Apart from Doctor Stevenson, tho
most prominently mentioned candidate Is
thn Rev. George B Stewart, D. D., presi
dent of Auburn Theological Seminary.
He has been president of the Auburn
Seminary for 10 years nnd Is considered
one of the best type of men In the church.
Ho represents tho middle ground In
thought and position, being neither
strongly conservative nor over-radlcnl.
Tho Rev. A. V V Raymond, pastor of
tho Pint Presbyterian Church of Buf
falo, formerly an nfllrer of Union Col
lege, has n good following.

TELLS CONFERENCE
"Justice and Righteousness

Gathering.
LAKE MOHONK, N. T., May 20. "Jus
tlce and righteousness must bo pre
pared to nght Injustice and unrighteous

forces In the world."
So declared Secretary of War Garrison
today before tho InternaUonat Conference
on Arbitration. Ho spolie on military
preparedness ub Insurance against war,
telteratlng his firm belief In nn ndeqnate
natlonnl dotenso policy.
"Does the Individual Invite evil by pro
paring himself to withstand temptation?"
Garrison demanded. "Does the cltlsen In
vito the conflagration by preparing a
force to extinguish the Hre? Do business

means against tho possibility of panlo In
vito tho latter and make It more likely
to occur? Surely none of these things
aro so. ond Just as surely thero Is no
rational basis for believing that a nation
which takes proper military precautions
and makes proper military preparations
Is Inviting war.
WHAT IS MILITARISM?
"Militarism Is used as a term of re
proach to divert proper consideration of
what must be considered, If tho subject
Is to be considered at all. Militarism, In
the sense of having the military forco In

of our Government by our civil authori
ties. Is not conceivable In this country. Is
not urged by nny ono nnd Is not feared
oven by those who use the word In that
sonsc, so as to prevent proper considera
tion nnd to confuso tho public mind.
"Militarism, In tho sense of tho abso
lute necessity of proper military prccau
tlons and military preparations. Is tho
very subject matter for consideration; It
Is the Impcrntlvo question for decision,
nnd It needs stout hearts and sound
minds to decide It
"We aro surely not bo deluded as to
believe that wo enn reach by Intuition
what othora can only acquire by training
nnd cxpcrlenco. Wo nre surely not so
sacrilegious or Irreverent as to believe'
that Provldenco has unjustly discrim
