By Associated Press.
Washington, D. C., May 26.—The
Lorimer case, temporarily sidetracked
in the senate, but considered in demo
cratic caucus, promises to be thresh
ed but on the floor today. There is a
strong impression that the Martin
democratic resolution, perhaps modi
fied in some of its details, will finally
be adopted.
The regular republicans, powerless
to control the situation, themselves
I are said to prefer the democratic pro
position to that of Senator LaFollette.
Party lines will be split w'hen the test
comea, but a re-investigation of Sen
ator Lorimer’s election is assured.
Senator LaFollette still hoped to
day to secure the adoption of his reso
lution providing for an investigation
by new members oi the senate. He had
the floor privilege and purposed con
cluding the speech that he had been
making in installments for several
days.
There was no business of Importance
for the house to consider today. Demo
cratic leaders after the disposition
of some formal business matters deter
mined early in the day upon another
recess until Tuesday, thus again avoid
ing the discharge calendar on Monday,
This calendar is heavily laden with
motions to discharge committees on
important bills which the democrats
do not want to consider at this ses
sion. All the discharge motions have
been placed on the calendar by repub
licans. They may be called up on Mon
days, but thus far the democrats have
I bridged over the Mondays and avoided
legislative measures not on their pro
gram. Next Tuesday there vUiay be
another adjournment until the tollow-
ilng Friday.

the assembly yesterday, but not ac
cepted by Dr. Reinke. He placed be
fore the assembly the following:
“Resolved. (1) that no action be
taken with reference to the utter
ances of Rev. Dr. Francis Brown.
(2) that this general assembly ex
press its disapproval of the recent ut
terance of the Rev. Dr. William
Adams Brown, in the January num
ber of the Harvard Theological
Review, as It is in apparent
conflict with the doctrinal standard ot
our church, and admonishes him to
desist from the disseminating of such
views
Debate on the resolution was cut
off by adjournment yesterday and will
come up at the first opportunity to
day.
The judicial committee is ready to
make a report on the heresy charge
against Dr. William D. Grant, ot
Northumberland. Pa.
The commission found that Dr.
Grant “taught doctrines contrary to
the Word of God in the Bible and the
Presbyterian confession of faith.” He
Is held to be guilty under the rules of
the Presbyterian book of discipline
and the commission recommends Dr.
Grant to be suspended from exercising
the functions of a minister of the Pres
byterian church until such time as he
can convince his own presbytery, that
of Northumberland, that he has re
nounced the errors he has been found
to hold and to satisfy the presbytery
of his purpose no longer to teach
them.”
Mr. Grant Found Guilty.
Atlantic City, N. J., Mfiy 26.—Rev.
,Dr. Wiliam D. Grant, of Northumber
land. Pa., has been found guilty of
heresy by the commission which heard
the charges made against him. The
commission reported its findings to the

(North) this morning.
A motion to i.dopt the report and
confirm the judgment of the commis
sion was put to a vote In the assembly
and was carried overwhelmingly with
out debate, ihere were only a few
scattered “noes.”

Last Night —Statements of
Diaz and Corral.
By Associated Press.
Mexico City, May 26.—Francisco
Leon de La Barra, the Mexican for
eign minister and former anibassador
at Washington, took the oath of o^ce
as provisional president of the repub
lic today. He will act as the chief ex
ecutive in succession to Porfirio Diaz,
who resigned yesterday, until a gen
eral election can be held.
Order prevailed throughout the cap
ital last night.
Senor de La Barra was escorted
fi’om the: national palace to the cham
ber of deputies, where the oath of
office was administered by the mem
bers of the staff of former President
Diaz. The staff officials had resigned
days a-go but had asked permission to
escort the provisional president to the
scene of his inauguration. The new
chief executive was accompanied by
General E. Rascon. who took the oath
as minister of w'ar earlier in the day.
Most of the distinguished person
ages in the capital were present, in
cluding the diplomatic corps in full
regalia, head by the American am
bassador, Henry Lane Wilson, the
dean of the corps.
Despite the magnitude of the crowd
which celebrated their business oper
ations on a normal basis. A large
crowd gathered about the chamber of
deputies and cheered for Senor de La
Barra, and Gteneral Madero. while' the
oath was being administered.
It is now regarded as certain that
Alfredo Robles. Dominguez, general
Madero’s representative here, and vir
tually the milltai’y commander of the
federal district, will not find it ne
cessary to call in the revolutionary
forces from the cities of Cuernavaca
and Pachuaca to maintain order In
the capital. The police and soldiers
are acting under the direction of Se
nor Dominguez, with as much readi
ness as if they had never known an
other superior.
General Diaz’s condition was report-
[ as improved this morning. The
inflammation in his face is aaid to
have subsided greatly and the fever
to have disappeared. Members of the
retii’ed president’s family expressed
the belief that he would be able to sail
for Europe from Vera Cruz by the
last of the month.
General Endique Torrolla, substitute
director of the military college, was
appointed today chief of staff to Pro
visional President de La Barra.
Before resigning his office yesterday
as minister of finance, Jose Yves Ll-
mantour exhibited to Jaime Guerza, the
new substitute secretary of the treas
urer $60,400,000 in gold In the vaults
of the treasury. Senor Limantour turn

receipt.
The passing of President Diaz waSj
one of the most dramatic incidents In
recent Mexican history. The venerable
ruler was still confined to his palace,
which was hedged about by strong j
guards and mounted police and sol
diers, while across the Zocalo machine,
guns were masked, ready to deal with
any further outbreak such as the night
before.
Popular excitement was at a high
pitch, but was held in check by the
patriotic appeals of Madero’s person
al representative, Senor Dominguez,
for the maintenance of order and the
dignity of the cause. Crowds surged
about the chamber of deputies, await
ing the words of Diaz’s final action.
Inside the chamber there was an im
pressive scene as President Diaz let
ter, fianlly and completely relinquish
ing the reigns of power, was presented,
and accepted, following by the presen
tation and acceptance of Vice-Presi
dent Corral’s resignation.
Immediately word was carried to
the waiting crowds outside, which
broke Into wild demonstrations and en
thusiasm.
Here and there were scattered al-;
frays, but in the main ^ne demonstra
tion was one of enthusiastic approval
and rejoicing.
De La Barra took up the reigns ofi
government today In an open letter,,
addressed to the Mexican people, ac-i
knowledging his election as provisional;
president and declaring his purpose
not to be a candidate either for presi
dent or vice-president wher. an elec-j
tion should be called.
The entire cabinet of . President Dlaz^
followed the action of Its chief in re
signing.
