No Eyewitness to Death of

John Vail, who conducted a grocery
store at 1918 L street northwest. was
instantly killed this morning by a
Southern Railway shifting engine at

saw the engine strike the man, and
considerable mystery surrounds the
case. Coroner hewitt probably will hold
an inquest tomorrow.
Vail. who was thirty-eight years old,
lived with his wife and three children
at AS New York avenue northwest. He

he had gone out unaccompauied. How
he came TO be on the railroad trestie
that crosses M street northeast is not
known. To get to the railroad tracks,

bankment. II IS believed that as soon
as he reached the top of the short
hill. he stepped on the tracks and
was struck by the shifting engine
which was backing toward the sta
ton.
Although physicians, who were inn
mediately summoned. said that Wahl
had died almost the moment the engine
struck him. his body was not mutilateG.
His gold watch and a locket, in which
were the pictures OF his wife and one Of

LAWS OF HIGH
SEAS MODIFIED
MERCHANTMEN TO BE SAFE
DURING BATTLES
Right of Blockade in Time of War is
Agreed Upon at Naval Con-
ference Held in
London
LBy Associated Press. j

CHICAGO, March 13.-A freer move
ment of neutral commerce in time of
war will be the principal result of an
agreement reached at the secret naval
conference recently concluded in Lon
don, according to special cable from
London today. The correspondent ad-
vises that the main points of the agree
ment are:
THAT a definite list of articles of
contraband of war be made; that food
stuffs will be contra band in neutral
ships only directly consigned to mill
tary forces of countries at war
The right of blockading is recos-
nized if notification is given in ad-
vance and all neutral vessels coming
within the zone of the blockade may
be seized.
Beyond the blockade neutral vessels
carrying contraband may be confiscat-
ed or sunk if the amount of the contra
band articles exceeds 80 per cent of
the cargo. The right of search on the
high seas has been limited to ships
papers, and no matches may be lifted.
If the captor is convinced that de-
spite the papers more than so per cent
of contraband is carried, the ship may
be conveyed into port and a search
made.
"In this event if the contraband is
| found not to exceed 80 per cent, the
| captor is liable to heavy damages, ia
be assessed by a naval prize court

WOMAN ARTIST VICTIM
OF DARING CRIMINALS
Chicagoan Held Up Near jacksonville,
Fla, and Robbed of Over
$4,000

CHICAGO, March 13.-Mrs. Della NJ.
Crane, an artist of Chicago, who has
just arrived from Jacksonville, Fla,
is reported to have been the victim of
daring holdup near that place.
While comfortably seated in Pull
man car which had slowed down at a
railroad crossing, she is said to have
been robbed of $3.50 in money and $4,000
worth of diamonds by negro who,
running alongside and thrusting his
head and shoulders through the win
dow, grabbed her valuables.
She instinctively clutched at her bag,
according to the story, just as the
hands of the intruder closed on it. A
struggle ensued, and Mrs. Crane called
for assistance.
Determined not to surrender, Mrs.
Crane vainly strove to wrench her
property from the negro's hands, but
at that instant he gave a lunge back
ward and, pulling her arms through the
window, he gave sudden twist, broke
her grip and dropped off the train with
his loot.
Every cent Mrs. Crane had in her
possession was stolen, including her
railroad ticket and Pullman reserva-
tion.
The railroad officials passed her
through to her destination, and pas
sengers, among them Charles G. Gates,
son of John w. Gates, saw that her
wants were supplied.

OPERATION CAUSES
MAN TO GO INSANE
SAN FRANCISCAN BECOMES A
RAVING MANIAC
Before Submitting to Knife, Patient
Signs Permit for Autopsy to
Be Performed In Event
of Death

SAN FRANCISCO, March 13.-Fol-
lowing an operation at Lane hospital,
Paul Coli has become a raving maniac.
His hallucinadon is that white-robed
figures are trying to cut out his heart.
He is held at the Central Emergency
hospital and will be examined today
by the commissioners of insanity.
Coli applied at the Emergency hos
pital for treatment early last week,
but as an operation was required he
was removed to Lane hospital.
At the latter place physicians asked
him if he had any objections to an
autopsy being performed should the
operation terminate fatally. He replied
he had none and signed formal papers
granting the necessary permission.
A few hours later Coli was given an
anaesthetic, the operation was sue
cessfully performed and the patient
recovered consciousness. He appeared
entirely sane and apparently made
good progress toward recovery.
Wednesday night, however, he de-
veloped the delusion of the threatening
white-robed figures, and it became
necessary to restrain him.
Physicians said the operation was a
slight one and that the signing of the
autopsy permit was the usual course
followed in such circumstances.
They were at a loss to explain the
mans sudden insanity, but thought
investigation would divulge facts in
regard to his previous life that would
account for it.

The burden of proof of contraband lies

The burden of proof of contraband lies
with the captors.'
This makes most difficult the sinking
of neutral vessels, even if full of con-
traband, since, when the ships are
sunk, only their papers will remain as
evidence for the prize courts, and these
on their face may show that no con-
traband goods We're carried.
Admiral Trauble of Russia caused a
sensation by first agreeing to the so
per cent contraband proposition and
then recanting.
The conference thought it's work fin
ished and went to Buckingham palace,
where the king extended his congratu-
lations.
On their return to the conference,
Admiral Trauble announced that his
government had ordered him to insist
that the percentage of contraband be
reduced from 80 to 25.
Members of the commission were as
founded, and another months work was
necessary, when finally the Russian
government agreed to the original
proposition of so per cent.
The fact that neutral commerce by
international agreement will move
more freely and easily in future wars
is regarded as of vast Importance in
itself and also as marking a great ad-
vance in the movement for the dis
couragement of war.

NEW YORK, March BE. H. Har-
rirnan is stronger than ever. according
TO George J. Gould, in an interview
published here today.
"I admire Mr.. Hartman" declared
the head of the Missouri Paci1ic sys-
lem. land admire his courage.
For four years." he continued, the
government devoted all it's energies TO
attack him and he stood his GROUND,
practically alone. Every arm OF the
federal law was brought to bear
against him. All the machinery was
set in motion.
Everything was thrown lhCo up

manic was brought in to crush hlm
Great fortunes were lost and men
ruined. =,
"And Mr.. Hartman survived 1T all
untouched, and today he is stronger
than ever. If he had ever done any
thing wrong he would surely have been
made to suffer for it in the circum-
stances. But I don't believe he dld
anything willingly unlawful.
His spirit and courage are exlraor-
djnary. He has come out of that TOUR

Has Wonderful Spirit
He has the most wonderful spirit of
any man I have met.
mot physically strong, he has an IN
domitable will and is afraid of nothing.
He has unusual capabilities. He fought
back and won his battle alone, in the
face of Misrepresentation and the most
bitter attacks"
When asked if Mr.. Hartman would
ally himself with any of the Gould
properties, particularly the wabash
system, Mr. Gould said:
mo. I don't believe he will be
director of the Wabash. But | know
one man who would welcome him on
the board and that is myself. know
Mr.. Hartman very well. He and are
very good friends. We often meet ana
are on the best of terms"
In some quarters Mr.. Gould's declara-
ton of friendship for Mr.. Hartman is
taken as an indication that there is no
latent feeling of rivalry or even hos
tility between the two railroad presi-
dents, owing to the fact that one OF
them is building the Western Pacific
system to San Francisco as COM
petitor of the Union and Southern Pa
cific roads,
