WARNS BRITISH PUBLIC
AGAINST J|NcO REPORTS
Sir Edward Grey Says Sensa-
tionaI Stories May Some
Time Cause Trouble.

LONDON, November THE secretary
of foreign affairs, Sir Edward Grey, took
occasion in the house of commons to FAY
to read the so-called sensat tional press a
homily on the danger in spreading false
news that was offensive to other nations
Some of these days. he remarked. .if
false news continues to be reported, pub
lie resentment and excitement will get
beyond the control of the government
concerned
The incidents which called forth Sir
Edwards remarks were an alleged in
terview with the British ambassador at
Vienna and an alleged passage in the
speech of Home Secretary Mckenna, both
strongly criticising Germany.
Not Guilty of Indiscretion.
The foreign minister explained that
neither the ambassador nor Mr.. McKenna
had been guilty of the alleged indiscre-
tons, but before this was known in Ger
many the incidents had been construed
as direct public international affron;
which had given rise TO great resentment
and called forth a request for eXplana-
tions from the German government.
Sir Edward pointed out that while these
incidents had not caused real difficulty
between the two governments. there were
great possibilities of danger in exaggerat-
ing and distorting facts.
Tendency to Exaggerate.
l. There has been.'' he continued. "a
tendency on the part of the newspapers
of Great Britain and Germany to put
q sinister construction upon the actions
taken by the British and German gov
respectively, in different parts
OF the world. ! trust that with the con-
clusion of the negotiations now happily
rea ched between France and Germany on
the subject OF Morocco the tension which
has given rise to suspicion and distrust
will disappear"

Death on the gallows is not the only

Justice Wright's View.
The decision is directly opposite to the
position taken by Justice Wright in two
murder cases in which former United
States Attorney Baker appeared and
pressed the point Justice Wright held
the penal code did not apply here and
that as death was the only punishment
provided by the code no other punish
ment could be imposed following a YER

Despite the two adverse rulings, At

first degree murder in connection with
the death of Alice Elliott. colored. April

Defendants Plea Changed.
When the defense had won it's point
counsel conferred with United States
Attorney Wilson and an agreement
was reached to have the defendant
withdraw his plea of not guilty and
enter a plea of guilty to second de-
gree murder.
The plea was changed by Matthews
and Justice Anderson sentenced the
prisoner to serve the remainder OF his
life in the penitentiary.
