(By the Associated Press.) Tears of President Coolldge that a deficit of 8100,000,000 at the end of the next fiscal year might result from the operation- of the new revenue ' law are not shared by the treasury where it was estimated today the year. should be completed with a surplus of $11,000,000. The . i treasury calculation is based on an estimate of present expenditures and receipts but does not take ' into ; consideration any increases Vin appropriations above the budget by Congress. It is believed the estimates on which the White House fears were based took, into account the possi ble approval by 'congress of sev eral pending bills calling for ad ditional appropriations, such as the public building measure which already has passed the house and calls- for an appropriation of 81S5.000.0O0. payable at the rate of 825,000,000 annually. On the basis of present esti mates of expenditures and revenue receipts 'for the next fiscal year, ending June 30. 1927. however, treasury officials are confident that the new revenue bill will not cut receipts below the estimated surplus. h While the bill is expected to reduce revenues 8387,000,000 this calendar year, it has been estimat ed that the government receipts during the next fiscal vear will be reduced by only $319,000,000.

GflSPELTIEjl Heresy Case Against W Claude Martin, Young Min ister, Is Carried On W0RLDLIMESS' charged Defense Quotes Bible to Uphold Case; Accused Scored for nctionlng Young Peo ple's Games PALMYRA. Ind., Feb. 27. (By Associated Press.) Desire to pro ceed in strict accordance with the rules for church government laid down in St. Matthews gospel to day caused three members of the Palmyra Church of Christ, sitting as judges in the trial for "world- liness" of W. Clyde Martin, to re mand the case to the charch con gregation tor disposition. Martin, a university graduate, is threatened with expulsion from his church as the climax of a dis agreement with towns folk over recreational activities introduced by him among; the community's young people after his return from college several years ago. The charges preferred by Charles Ellis, a deacon, were set for hearing: today, but after a short and often interrupted ses sion, the Judges refused jurisdic tion when Charles Bush, a former elder,: read New Testament verses with which he said 'Martin's accus ers had not complied. The verses from the T.8th chap ter of Matthew, are words of Jesus to His disciples, including the admonition "If thy brother shall ; trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between him and thee alone. If he shall hear thee, : 1 thou hast gained thy brother." This Bush said, Ellis and others opposing Martin had not done. ' Half of Palmyra's 350 residents are members of the Church of Christ.: When Martin returned from , college at Depauw and In diana state normal, where he won athletic , distinction, he . . became prmeipaTol'rthe? 'Palmyra "school and Introduced athletics and other recreation. His liberal policy be came an immediate source of dis sension between him and fellow townspeople schooled in the teach ing that recreational activities are inconsistent with an ascetic inter pretation ot the heories of the church's founder, Alexander Cam-pbell. The tearing out of a partition in the school house to make a basketball floor brought the first rift. ! Recently,; after, he had been ousted as principal, Martin built at his own expense a community house ' where he permitted the playing of basketball, checkers and other games, the holding ot debates and spelling bees, the sale of candy and soda pop. An open break . resulted and Ellis brought action to refuse him Coatlnoad a par t.) s . SUDDEN DEATH PROBED POST MORTEM IS TO BE HELD TO DETERMINE CAUSE . OLYMPIA, Wash.. Feb. 27.
