OFFICERS TO BE
TRIED FOR MURDER
MAJOR WALLER AND LIEUT.. DAY
OF MARINE CORPS BEFORE

THREE MEN WITHOUT TRIAL.

ney of the marine corps will preside at

w. Waller and Lieut.. H. A. Day OF the
marine crops, March II next on the
cherge of executing natives of the IS
land of Samar without trial. The court
martial will be composed of army OFF,
GERS and officers of the marine corps.
rhe charges specify that Major Waller
and Lieutenant Day killed three native
stevedores on the streets of Bazy, Island
of Samar, without trial. These stevedores
were among those who accompanied the
disastrous expedition of Major Waller
and detachment of marines to the In
terror Of Samar last December.
Ir is claimed these steyedores mutined
and proceeded to the foothills where they
dug camotes Ia variety of sweet potato)
and that they later concealed and re-
fused to turn them over to the Ameri-
calls, saying that when the marines died
of hunger they would have good supply
of arms and ammunition.
Sympathy Is expressed for Major Wal
Ter, who at that time was suffering from
mental and physical strain. Lieutenant
Day apparently obeyed Major Walters
orders.

NORFOLK STRIKE IS
BY NO MEANS ENDED
MEN REFUSE ARBITRATION COMMITTEES REPORT,
AND SETTLEMENT is FAR AWAY sYMPATHsER BOARDS
GAR, ABUSES CONDUCTOR AND BRUISED BY


Norfolk Va, March s.-From present
indications the strike is by no means
over. 1t is very probable that the strik-
ers will not accept the terms of settle
ment named by the arbitration committee
of the Chamber of Commerce last night.
The strikers and the company agreed to
abide by the arbitration decision.
The main objection of the strikers Is
that they are required to work with nom
union men; that only IS per cent of them
will be re-employed and that they must
sign the surety company bond. The cars
ran today under military guard and to-
night was the fiercest since the strike
started and several soldiers and citizens
were injured.
Sam Kelly. a strike leader, boarded a
car today and abused a conductor. A
fight with the guard followed and Kelly
was clubbed over the head with a rifle
butt He was badly cut and when car
ried to police headquarters was covered
with blood Later he was bailed out for
appearance in court tomorrow.
The general opinion regarding the arbi-
tration committees decision Is that it is
entirely in favor of the company. The

SUMMING UP PRINCES TRIP.
German Papers Have a Tone of Com
plete Satisfaction.

Berlin, March 9.-Some of the daily pa
pers have begun summing up Prince
Henry's trip to the United States. Their
tone is one of complete satisfaction. They
declare the Princes trip was never in
tended to have any specific political aims,
but merely purposed to bring about an
Improvement in the popular feeling in
both countries.
The Boersen Zeitung admits that its
most sanguine expectations have been
exceeded ,by the occurrences of the
Princes trip. and says the heartfelt cor
diality displayed by the Americans was
greater than could have been expected.
The National Zeitung says that Prince
Henry and the Americans have learned
to to.understand and appreciate each other
and that the result attained is out of the
common. SaF
1t is MOTTO be-forgotten Incident, says
this paper, in the busy rush of modern
life.

the Savannah harbor works, express
themselves as greatly mortified over the

wholly without advices.
He says the officers of the court have
no fear that the men can find safe hid

tries with which the United States has
no extradition treaties would almost GER
tainly surrender them on the ground of

.ETRUR|A SAFE
AND ALL WELL
Crippled Ocean Liner Arrives
at Horta, Azores Islands
HAD AN EVtNTFUL TRIP
When Accident Occurred Passengers
Were Assured There WIS No Dan
ger, and All Had Confidence
In the Ships Crew.

Horta, Azares, March 9.--The Etruria
anchored here at o'clock This Sunday
evening All on board are well. She had
a comparatively uneventful passage ex-
cept for the breakdown, which occurred
during the dinner hour of February 26
When this occurred the Etruria had
only just finished speaking by wireless
telegraphy with the Cunard line steam
ship Umbria Aft er the accident was dis
covered the Etruria called the Umbria
wireless telegraphy for one hour but
without success. Upon examination 1t
was found that the ships propeller had
broken off outside the tube and that
the rudder had been carried away by the
propeller The Etruria then sent up
rockets which were seen by the Brit
ish steamer William Cliff The latter bore
down and was along side In fifty min
utes after the accident. She stood by un-
til day light when. after several attempts
she succeeded in passing a hawser
aboard the Etruria- The tank steamer
Ottawa arrived on the scene at this time.
The. William Clin then attempted to tow
the Etruria, while the Ottawa attempted
to steer her. The hawser, however,
snapped. The ottawa STOOD by for two
days and then left for Fayal, bearing the
second officer of the Etruria to report the
disaster and obtain assistance.
In the meanwhile the crew of the Et-
ruria had made every effort to rig a
jury rudder which after two attempts
was successfully adjusted and is still in
position.
The passengers of the Etrurla were sat
ished they were in no danger and they
praise the conduct of the captain and
crew of the vessel
The Etruria reports having sighted the
Italian mail steamer Sardenga from
Naples, February 26 for New York last
Wednesday, March 5. The Sardenga
stood by but finding she could be of no
assistance proceeded on her course.
The Etruria was hoped to connect with
the North German-L Lloyd steamer Kron
Prinz Wilhelm by wirsle:fs telegraphy.
But her mast wire broke in several places
and she was unable to repair 1t until
the weather had improved, when 1t was
too late. After the accident the passage
of the Cunard steamer was entirely un-
eventful.
The Etruria will wait here for the ar
rival of the Royal mail steamer Elbe
which will carry the Etruria's passengers
to England. The Etruria will then be
towed home by the two tugs.
The passengers on the Etruria will bo
able to land and become acquainted with
Horta and the Island of Fayal tomor-
row.

tric workers have nearly all returned to

The striking carmen met tonight and
after a closed meeting lasting several
hours decided not to go back to work
under the conditions prescribed in the
decision of the arbitration committee.
Hugh Gordon Miller and d. j. Coleman,
Jr., counsel for the strikers, advised them
that they were bound by their letter to
the Chamber of Commerce accepting the
arbitration committee to abide by that
bodys decision. The strikers refused to
accept this advice and counsel washed
their hands of the case.

Norfolk Railway and Light Company re-
ceived the result of the meeting at the
Monticello Hotel and Immediately COM
municated with the Williams people in
Richmond by telephone. The company is
to run it's cars regardless of
the strikers now and will not treat with
them as an organized body further. The
company claims 1t is in position to secure
500 motormen and conductors within IL

TROOPS TO JEHAL FROM MAN.
CHuRIAN BORDER COUNTRY
RICH IN GOLD MINES.

Pekin. March 9.-Chinese officials are
greatly disturbed over the conditions at
Jehol (Ching Tel, about 100 miles north
east of Pezin, where bandit soldiery
have captured a priest. An official of
the foreign office declares that the Rus
slams have already dispatched 500 troops
to Jehol from the Manchurian border.
The trouble began over the settlement
of claims of native Christians, and it re-
suited in rioting between the Christians
and nome Christians. Brigands took ad-
vantage of these conditions to plunder
the country and the Russian telegraph
connections were incidentally cut. The
foreign office says the captured priest is
a Belgian.
1t was reported March Z from Pekin
that the Chinese court had ordered the
immediate release of this priest in order
to forestall the entry of foreign troops
into the district of Jehol, which is rich
in gold mines.

the second note referring to the capture

Miss Stone was captured, the ransom

lance on the frontier, and asserts that
only the movements of the troops in the

tinople in the matter of Miss Stones cap
tlire by brigands demanded the punish
ment of the guilty parties The Porte re-

ground that the opposition is one which
to some extent affects the regular organ
ization of the house.
The various consultations, however, did
not lead to any new developments. Those
who oppose the ways and means commit
tee continued to assert that they had
a list showing 10S Republican members

the coming conference. But Chairman
