ADOPT RULES or SEA.
Text of Maritime Declaration Made
 Public in Senate

Washington, Dec. is.--The deelara- ton signed by the delegates of the United States to the International Na- val Conference, held in London last winter. and sent to the Senate by President Taft shortly after his lnau- guration. was made public by the Senate in executive session today.
 This declaration relative to the laws of maritime water includes sixty-four rules covering the subjects of block ade in time of war. cohtraband of war, neutral prizes. transfer of flags. etc.
 It is believed by the American rep resentatives at the conference that the declaration defining the relations be. tween belligerents and neutrals, will remove many of the reasons for Inter nationals friction and misunderstand' Ing which have frequently existed.
 This declaration means that teL leading powers have reached ar agreement upon matters which if left to divergent practice and solely te national prejudice would have caused much trouble in the opinion of Amer ican delegates.

MAY CALL GRAND JURY
ALLEGED sLAYERs, HEARING IS
 CONTINUED.
Important Witness Tn Case of Men Ace cused of spieEel-6soldstein Afur-
 der De Not Appear.

Solicitor P. H. Stern may ask Judge Armstead Brown to re-convene tho October grand jury to indict Mack Me- Coy and Roland Bailey. the negroes charged with the murder of Leo Spie- gel and A. Goldstein.
 When Justice Stephen H. Beasley called the hearing of the negroes in his court Monday morning. a joint mo- ton by the county solicitor and Mack McCoy's attorney to continue the hearing until next Monday was grant ed. The joint motion was based on the failure of witnesses on both sides to attend the hearing.
 So conclusive, in the minds of Sheriff Hood and Solicitor Stern, is the evidence of the guilt of Mccoy and Bailey that the solicitor may ask to waive preliminary hearing and turn the case over to the grand jury. In the event that the negroes receive a preliminary next Monday. and the proof of their guilt justifies such ac- ton, the grand jury. probably, will be recalled to consider the cases.
 The most important witness of the state, Birmingham negro, failed to appear at the hearing Monday as did several witnesses of the Mccoy negro Mccoy has employed a lawyer, but al the hearing Monday. Bailey was not represented by counsel.
