SUPREME COURT
 0N TITANIC CASE
Baggage Up to the Value of Salvage Recovered.

WASHINGTON. May 26.-The Su- preme Court of the United States to- day rendered a decision in the case of passengers who lost baggage when the steamer Titanic went down. and who sued for the whole value of their loss from the White Star Steam ship company, an English concern. The court held that the marine laws of the United States limited the bag gage value to be recovered to the value of the salvage received by the company, which in this case amounts to about $10,O0O, being the value of the life boats picked up by the res cue steamers.
 Attorneys for the passengers claim ed that the English laws should ap- ply as the boat was English-had never touched an American port and therefore the company must pay ac- cordling to the English law, which limits the amount because of dam age to the value of the steamer. which, in this case. was placed at s. 0O.OOO.

NIAGARA FALLS, May 26.-The
 peace envoys will, probably come to compromise on the lapd question, which is the bone of contention at the present time, and for while look ed as if it would deadlock the con- ference. The envoys representing Huerta are willing to agree to the division of the vast estates in Mex leo but insist that the peons are not at this time qualified to care for the land and will make no use of the small farms if they get them. It was proposed that the change be made gradually so 'as to educate the peons to. become self-supporting farmers. : The American envoys insist that the change be made immediately as the 'onlya safe si,asthodao Of educating tho people of Mexico to,become self-supI! porting and .self-respecting, and. surs

A[|EN|SIS READY 10 FILE REPORT
Porter Carlton May Soon Receive Trial for Murder of His Wife
 Italian Commission Soon Ready

COMO, Italy, May 26.-Enrico Mor- selli, professor of anthropology at the University of Naples, and Leonardo Branchi, member of parliament,and also professor of psycotherapy at the University of Naples, today filed their reports as alienists in the case of Porter Carlton, the American boy awaiting trial here for the murder of his wife. The two men, who are amongst the best known alienists in Italy, made their examination and report for the defense. A similar ex- animation and report made on behalf of the state is declared to tally in all the more important findings.
 According to these young Carlton will have the advantage of several laws now on the Italian statute books, which were made as result of the studies of Lombroso, the ia nous Italian criminologist, as to the Responsibility of a large portion of those who commit crimes. The date fir the trial of young Charlton will be fixed as soon as the report is made by the special commission sent to the United States by Italy to se- cure testimony as to the exact men tai. physical and sexual status of the murdered woman.

 ALASKA COAL BILL
Writes to Chairman Ferris, of Public Lands Committee, to Push
 It's Passape.

WASHINGTON, May 26-Congress- man Ferris, chairman of the Public Lands committee, stated today to Alaskans that he was certain that the Alaska coal leasing bill would be passed at this session of congress in spite of the caucus action provid- ing that all legislation shall be re- stricted to appropriation and trust bills. -.f
 Congressman Ferris stated that the committee had received letter from President Wilson urging prompt action on the bill. as the situation in Alaska was such that 1t was neces- sary that the coal lands be opened to provide tonnage for the government railroad. This letter has been shown to administration leaders who are now working to secure the passage of the bill. which will be backed by the administration because of the charges being made that the railroad in Alas ka will be failure and the admin istration is determined to provide the tonnage and thus prevent the charge from being substantiated.
 The anti-government ownership congressman are opposed to the bill according to Alaskans now in this

Frisco Gambler Amassed Big Fortuna But i. Ordered Deported by

SAN FRANCISCO, May 26.-Wor King, the richest Chinese in the Un- ited States, and reputed to be worth $10 100000 was ordered deported to- day by the courts after a hard fight that lasted several years and has been carried to the highest courts.
 Won King is a gambler and has gambling establ shments in this and many other American cities, in which large numbers of Chinese are con- gregated and he has amassed tre- mendous fortune. His fight to pre- vent deportation has cost. him $250,- 900, according to those who are in a position to know.&
 The Chinese consul here today re- ported to the State department through the ambassador at Wash ington that the two daughters of Won King have been kidnapped and that all efforts to locate them have failed and asked for aid from the American police. Secretary Bryan has sent several secret service men to the scene, while the police of San Francisco have been requested to locate the daughters. It is, however believed that the kidnapping is only a bluff to gain time and prevent the deportation of the father

ROME, May 26.-The Italian gov ernment has taken the lead today in an effort to secure European inter vention in Albania to establish or der and to prevent the wholesale murders which the different factions have inaugurated.
 The Greeks of southern Albania are preparing to resist King Will liam and they have a force of 10000 well armed Greeks, while the gov ernment forces at the best do not number more than 25,000, and they are poorly equipped and fed, while the Greeks are in excellent position because of the largs sums of money advanced by loyal Greeks all over the world who are anxious that the Greek territory of Epirus, which has been Greek ground from time immemor- ial and the inhabitants claim it is an injustice to force them into a kingdom with which they have no religious or national utilization and they intend to be annexed to Greece.
 The Italian government fears that the terrible massacre at Kolonia will be repeated and that murder and rapine will result, besides which the peace of Europe is endangered unless the disorders are put down.

MORGAN CLAIMS ME[|..LE:N |S LIAR
Says Is Willing To Prove 1t By Show ing His Fathers Books and the
 Banking House Books.

NEW YORK, May 26.--J. P. Nor gan, head of the Morgan banking house, today issued statement re- garding the testimony of Charles s. Mellen, former president of the New Haven railroad, and the banker de- nied that either the Morgan house or his father had in any way mis- represented the facts or had conceal ed the conditions of the stock deals from Mellen and he has offered to show the books of his father, be- sides those of the banking house to prove his statements.
 The charge of the former president that the stock was jobbed by the bankers; that the profits of the road were sunk in the purchase of new lines, which were first bought up by the insiders or Morgan group, at a low price and sold at big advances, will be investigated at once by. the Interstate Commerce Commission.
 Many bankers and Wall street op- orators are to be placed, on the stand and questioned. ,.> . .s..
 Mellen has, not only charged that the Morgan interests bled the New Haven system, but that, they also forced the Pennsylvania, the Balti- more & Ohia and many eastern roads to come across under penalty of re fusing them aid and when ever a rail- road system was forced to appeal to the New York banking firm: for aid that the bankers milked the road py leaning t money and then forcing the purchase of feeders. so. that they frscaiHed most of the money back. be- sides securing heavy mortgags inter ests upsa which bish interest rates were paid.,. <, {;

PRISONERS NOT
LIKELY TO BE
TRANSFERRED
Thought that the Proposal to Move
Them 20 Ardmore would Entail an
Expense Too Great in Carrying
Them Back and Forth Between
Here and That Place.

So far the county commissioners
have not taken any definite action on
the proposal of Commissioner James
Yarbrough to move the county con-
victs and prisoners to the Ardmore
Jail.
1t was Mr.. Yarbroughs belief that
the expense OF transferring the men
to Ardmore and bring them back and
forth between that place and Durant.
would be more than offset by the saw
ing that the county would affect
by the change In that two jailors
could be suspended and the regular
monthly repair bills at the jail would
be saved.
While the prisoners are awaiting
the making Of a bond and awaiting
trial a lot OF running back and forth
between Ardmore and Durant would
be necessary and a little figuring
seems to reveal the fact that the Ard
more plan would be the more expen-
sive.
The Sheriff's office does not favor
the moving plan and Office Deputy
James Culberson informed a report
r this morning that he believed the
plan had been abandoned BY the com
missioners.
