The clericals in the Cortes today held a meeting at which a plan of ac tion was discussed. The general un derstanding, in official circles is that the church will try to secure the down fall of the ministry. In view of the nature of the contest, however, Canal ejas will have the support of almost the entire left, and his defeat is re garded as doubtful in the extreme.

' Lovenstein Caught and Male to Face Court For Embezzling Durham People Interested in Case Could Not Raise Enough Money to Pay His Check Accident to Mr. Pink Pendergiiiss at Chapel Hill .May Disfigure Him for Life Roll. crt McCleninui Held for Chatham Officers Disturbed Public .VWorC slii Chapel Hill Delegation Re turns from Convention. (Special to The Times.) Durham, N. C, July 29. When Benjamin Lovenstein, tho Jewish at torney, faced Judge Sykes in the re corder's court this morning, on a charge of . embezzlement, the court room was packed to the doors. Lov enstein claims that he was not aware of the warrant out against him, and would not have left town had he known of it. He says the first inti mation of any trouble was when he was arrested - by the Oxford chief of police. He immediately got busy and arranged bail through Judge Sykes. His client of a few days ago, Arthur Greenburg, put up the $300 necessary for his release. Coming in on the afternoon train Lovenstein immediately arranged for an attorney. He stated that he would clear himself easily and that the charge of embezzlement could not be sustained. It Is said that other charges are to be preferred. It will be remembered that the cause of all the trouble was the joung attorney's accepting $100 be longing to a negro woman who was In the police station charged with selling whiskey. J She gave Lovenstein the money to arrange bond for her. He did this, and afterwards friends persuaded her to get another lawyer. When the new lawyer, Victor Bryant, took charge he demanded the $100 for the woman. Lovenstein claimed $25 as his fee. There was no kick made on' this' and Lovenstein1 gave a check for , $75. The check was turned down by the bank and Loven stein asked a few days of grace to raise ' the money. When the money was not : forthcoming the warrant was issued, but Lovenstein could not be found, his office being locked up. Chief Freeland received a 'phone message from Lovenstein, who was in Oxford, asking had Bryant been placated. The crafty chief located the voice in Oxford and 'phoned the chief there to hold on to Lovenstein. By agreement the case was post poned until tomorrow morning. News comes from Chapel Hill that an accident to Mr. Pink Pendergrass may disfigure him for life. . He was operating a cider mill when he stooped over and allowed his head to become caught between the rollers, inflicting a dangerous wound on his scalp and tearing the skin off the side of his face. , Dr. Webb attended the young man and sewed up his wounds. - - Robert McClennan is being held here awaiting the arrival of officers from Chatham County, where Mc Clennan is -wanted on a charge of disturbing public worship. He was found at a brickyard on Chapel Hill street. His tale of the row is that he and another negro had a quarrel In the church, and he knocked the negro through a window. Others joined in the fight, and when the par son tried to separate the combatants they turned on him and ejected him from the church. The others have not been caught, all leaving the im mediate vicinity. McClennan is put down as the ring leader, and special efforts were made to lay hands on him. . The Chapel Hill delegation from Greensboro arrived in Durham yes terday morning, sore in mind and body. The loss of a night's sleep was not calculated to soothe ruffled tem pers, and when- they came to Univer sity Station and found that the Chapel Hill train had gone, loud and long wore the expressions, and what they did not say would . not fill the page of a popular dictionary. Ve hicles were secured and they went through the country, still heaping vi tuperations upon the Southern Rail way. , John D. Rockefeller Sued. (By Leased Wire to The Times) Flndlay, O., July 29.

(By Leased Wire to The Times.) Columbus, O., July 29 The guns of the Ohio national guards nave cowed the strike rioters and the city was quiet today. ' Mayor Marshall and Colonel Mc Maken, commanding the troops, an nounced this morning that cars would be started at 11:30 o'clock, upon the return of Governor Harmon from' Charlevoix, Mich. Rumors are current that the gov eronr will officially condemn Mayor Marshall and Sheriff Sartatn for failing to to call troops and that he may possibly suspend them. Troops are In possession of the city and the state capitol grounds present a warlike appearance as the" head quarters of the commanding officers, the station of field artillery, signal and ambulance corps. The street car strike is now in the hands of lAdju-;.. tant General Charles C. Weybrecht and Brigadier General Wliliam Mc- Ken. ... ':.;-'.-v;-: yiy Mayor Marshall was refused per mission to pass through the lines on east Broad street, where Troop , A, Cleveland cavalry companay, Is Sta tioned. Street cars were started after three regiments of the state militia were distributed along the lines in all parts of the city. There was little demonstration during the arrival of troops aside from the occasional explosion of tor pedoes, jeers and catcalls from union sympathizers. Superintendent Whisner of the street railway company, says: "I expect trouble when night comes, and the strike sympathizers Van bombard the cars from - cover. There will be little violence during the daylight hours while the troops are in control of the situation." Adjutant General Weybrecht said: "The militia is taking no sides in this controversy. They are here to preserve order and allow tho cars to run. The strictest discipline will be maintained."

The governor states that the troops will be stationed there until the trouble is over. Tho towns-people held , a monster mass-meeting last night and feeling ran so high against the presence of tho troops to quell riots that Gen eral McGurrin In charge of the soldiers, offered to compromise by withdrawing them If the towns-people would swear In 100 special deputies to preserve peace. This they refused to do. Durand Is strictly a railroad town and the fact that every mannd woman in It Is In sympathy wltt strikers Is the reason for their 9sentment at the presence of the troops. - Today the troops were thrown around' the Grand Trunk tracks, train sheds and. station and, all the road's property for a mile to guard it from the strikers.
