Especial to News and Observer.)

Especial to News and Observer.)
Asheville, n. c., July IA terrific
thunder visited the Hominy sec

HE DIED OF A BLOW FOLK AND PURITY
Whether There Was Foul
Play in Loomis Case
None Can Say.
(By the Associated Press.)


Kings Bridge, Devonshire, July 1S.--
Found dead, washed up by the sea
in Bigbury Bay, Devonshire," was the
verdict today of the coroner's jury in
the inquest of Il. Kent Loomis. The
evidence was very inconclusive and
wholly cOnpectural, as pointed out by
the coroner when he advised this open
verdict, adding that although death
was caused by a blow there was Moth
ing to justify the suspicion that it was
administered.
Joseph G.. Stephens, American con-
sui at Plymouth, has charge of the
body, which is in a fair state of pre-
servation. 1t will be embalmed and
sent home for burial as early as prac-
tIcable.
DR.. Webb, one of the medical men
appointed to examine the body, testi-
fled that there was a confused wound
below and behind the right ear, indi-
Gated by the extravasation of blood in
the scalp and a rupture of the cover
ing of the brain.
DR.. Webb added that Loomis might
have been stunned and have fallen in
to the water and been drowned. 1t
was not a sharp wound; but possibly
the result of a fall on his head. Either
he struck something or something
struck his head. The blow was not in
fIicted after death. Supposing the de-
ceased had ascended on deck at mid
night to take the air and went to an
unprotected spar where the davitS
were and he fell, that would account
for the wound. He died as the result
of a blow, but there was nothing to
indicate how the blow, which was a
very heavy one, had been inflicted.
DIR. Webb said the blow might have
caused death if Loomis had not fall
len into the water.

Germany's Firm Stand.
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press.)
Berlin, July 1S.-The German gov
ernment has taken a prompt and firm
stand in regard to the seizure of the
mails of the North German Lloyd
steamer Prinz Heinrich, whichh ar
rived at Alden, July 16, from Ham
burg and Southampton for Yokohama,
by the Russian volunteer fleet steamer
Smolensk, July 18th, having entered
a protest against the carrying off of
the mails, and asking for a disavowal
of the Smolensk's action and the re-
turn of the captured mail. The Ger
man government, the Foreign Office
says, recognizes the right to search
mails when on board the vessel itself,
but claims the Smolensk had no right
to take off mails in bulk frem the yes
sci. The further argument is adj
vanced that the right of search can
only be exercised by q warship,
whereas the Smolensk traversed the
Dardenelles only recently for the
Russian commercial flag, not assum-
ing the character of a warship. The
German government has not taken a
positive stand on this last point, but
leaves the question for future discus
sion and settlement. No answer has
yet been received from Russia.

NO WISH TO AE'FRONT MURPHY

Quiet Day.
(Bv the Associated Press.)

Esopus, N. Y, July 1S.-Politics
played small part in Judge Parker
life TODAY. The departure for New
York of John w. Kern and of William
f. Sheehan left the judge alone. Inc
telephone at Rosemount was burned
cut during the night, and telephone
with the Kingston ex-
change was impossible during the
forenoon. Judge Parker accompanied
MIR. Kern to the wharf when the lat
ter went away, and after the boat was
in midstream. took his morning plunge
into the river.
Among the kilograms received was
one from Champ Clark, permanent
chairman of the ST. Louis convention,
who sent his congratulations to Judge
Parker
suggestions of the political confer
euce in New York City appeared IN
the usual activity of the judges tele-
phone early in the afternoon, but
nothing could be learned as to whom
he talked with, or the subject of the
Ccnservations.
Judge Parker declined to say any
thing about the published story that
he had invited Charles Murphy lead
er of Tammany Hall, to come to Rose
n. cunt. and that the latter had declin-
ed. There is good reason, however, to
regard the story as devoid of fact.
II is we'll understood here that
Judge Parker, Mr.. Sheehan and their
friends have no wish to affront Mr..
Murphy in any way. 1t is known that
Tammany is to have much more than
nominaI consideration, but there is no
reason to suppose that any direct over
lures have as yet gone forth from
Eosemount Action in a number of
matters awaits the result of tonight's S
conference in New York, and it is like
w that direct communication with Mr..
Murphy is one of them.
The headquarters of the newspaper
ce. correspondents will be opened shortly
in the lodge at Rosemount.

Attorney Joseph w. Folk, of st. Louis,

There is every indication that the

Interesting ever held in Missouri.
The Folk supporters are trying to
force the selection of Congressman
Vandiver, the manager of Folks cam
paign, as temporary chairman. This
has aroused the antagoniSm OF the
State machine and a bitter fight
will probably result.
The following is from the plank on
the Doodle issue which the repre-
sentatives of Attorney Joseph w. Folk
will ask the State Democratic con-
vention to incorporate in the platform
tomorrow:
"The paramount issue before the
people of Missouri is the eradication
of bribery from public life in this
State.
1--WE sincerely declare unremitting
warfare against corruptionists ana
here announce the decree that there
is no room in the Democratic party
of Missouri for a boodler or corrup-
ZIONIST of any sort. We repudiate
their support, invite them to leave the
State and offer them shelter only in
the penitentiary if they remain. We
have confidence in the honesty of the
people and to them we appeal for
success. We invite all honest people
to join us in this crusade against
corruption. 1t is the vital principle
involved i'm this campaign and on this
issue we stake the hope of the Demo-
cratic party of Missouri"

No International BroiI.
(By the Associated Press.)

st. Petersburg, July 1S.-5:05 p. m.
Russia does not forsee international
complications on account of the pas
sage of the volunteer fleet steamers
through the Dardenelles and their sub
sequent conversion into war cruisers.
The trainers of the treaty of Paris in
seeking to close the Black Sea to the
ingress and egress of Russian warships
evidently did not expect the present
contingency.
"The st. Petersburg and Smolensk
did not pass the Dardenelles as war
ships, but as merchantmen" said an
official of the Foreign Office to the
correspondent of the Associated Press
today. Under the treaty of Paris
there is no question of the rights of
ships to go out as merchantmen.
With their subsequent conversion into
WarShipS Turkey has nothing to do.
The treaty is silent on the subject"
