cision in Case Against DR..
w. II. Warren

The Supreme Court in Trenton to-
day reversed the judgment obtained
by George D. Soden, a machinist, of
GIL Clifton avenue. in his suit against
DR.. William Fl. Warren, a druggist,
of S63 Mt. Prospect avenue, for rent
alleged to be due him.
DIR. Warren's wife and child lived
in the Clifton avenue address. which
is an apartment house owned by
Scden. from March, 1918. when the
Warrens separated until September
last. Soden sued DR.. Warren, alleg-
ing his wife had not paid her rent.
DIR. Warren took the case to the
Supreme Court, which reversed the
verdict on the ground that it was
not warranted by the evidence.

that he had supplied his wife with
money for her living expenses and
that Soden had been notified he was
not to be held responsible for the
payment of Mrs. .Warren's rent.

.LOPON|O WITNESS
IN OWN DEFENSE
Defendant in Trial for Murder
of Policeman Called
to Stand.

Salvatore Loponio was placed on
the witness stand in his own defense
shortly before noon today in the
Court of Oyer and Terminer Judge
Martin presiding, where he is on trial
for the murder of Patrolman john
J. McGovern in October, 1872.
Loponio answered few questions be-
fore recess was ordered by Judge
Martin at / o'clock. He said that he
was born in Italy thirty-four years
ago and had been in this country
since 1908. He kept a shoemaker
shop at Park avenue. he testified,
from January /. 1912, to- the time of
his arrest in October of the same
year.
A number of persons who saw 10
ponio the night McGovern was slain
were called to testify this morning
before the defendant took the stand.
BY these witnesses the defense
hoped to establish an alibi that
would clear the accused of the crime.
The witnesses, testifying this morn
ing, could say they had seen Lo-
ponio after 10 o'clock-twenty-fiv
minutes before the shooting. One
witness, Walter Rabone, a boy of
sixteen, saw him at Park and Sum-
mer avenue, at ten minutes to 10.
At that time. Loponio was on the
way to his shop, a block away, the
boy said.
That the prosecution did not place
any Importance on the "alibi' was
indicated by the fact that Assistant
Prosecutor Mott did not ask a single
question in cross examination of any
of half dozen witnesses.
The defense opened yesterday aft
ernoon. Irving w. Teeple, counsel for
Loponio, in addressing the jury de-
ciared that he would prove an alibi
for his client up, to within fifteen
minutes of the shooting,

RESOLUTE WINS
RACE AS STORM
CRIPPLES RIVAL
Fore Stay on Vanitie Breaks
and Forces Her Out of
Competition.

ASSOCIATED PRESS BOAT orr
RYE, \. y, June 4.-The Reso1uts
won the third preliminary yacht race.
when she crossed the finish line at
1:55:47. unofficial time.
Vanitie dashed across the line on
the starboard tack p seconds after
the signal. Resolute was compelled
10 bear away and make another shoot
for the line. Captain Dennis got such
a lead that ten minutes after the
start Resolute was nearly d mile
astern.
The thrash to windward was a
pretty struggle. At 1:25 the forestay
sail sheet on the Nanitie parted and
she lost minutes getting in the sail.
Meanwhile Resolute rapidly closed
up the gap between them.
The forestay on Nanitie broke and
she withdrew fro mthe race.
The Resolute continued, rounding
the first mark at 1859, unofficial
time. The committee hoisted the
code flag M Indicating that the race
would be finished as soon as Resolute
passed over the line on the second
leg of the course.
AS in yesterdays race, the course
today was to windward and leeward,
four and one-half miles across the
sound and back with repeat, eigh-
teen miles in all.
The Vanitie crossed the starting
line more than minute ahead of
her rival. but the Resolute pointed
higher IN the thrash to windward,
and began to cut down the lead.
The official starting times were.
Nanitie, 1:00:21; Resolute, 1:01:57.
At 1906 the regatta committee
hoisted the code flag C indicat-
ing that the race had been postponed
uItil later in the day.
At noon the rain had abated. but
the gale still blew stoutly from the
south. The regatta committee left
the house of the American Yacht Club
here went aboard their boat and put
out into the sound. There they met
the skipper of the Resolute. which
was still in tow of her tender. They
decided to hold a race if possible, but
postponed hosting the signal
The sun was struggling to come out,
but the sky to windward was still
threatening as both boats were towed
toward the starting line about noon.
Shortly after II o'clock the Resolute
dropped her mooring buoy. took a
tow from her tender and left for the
starting line. 1t was still raining
hard at 1880, but the clouds were
lifting under the driving force of the
tiff breeze.
The Vanitie followed al Ills. run
ming out of Glen Cove Harbor under
bare poles without the assistance OF
| launch or tender. 1t looked like a
race. and those on shore wondered al

TO sail their Nightly built boats II

OIL INTERESTS
Agreement Between United
States, England and Meth
erIands Announced.

WASHINGTON, June 4-The tri-
parte agreement between the United
States, Great Britain and the Meth
their citizens in the Mexican oil
fields from spoliation, was officially
announced today in the following
statement:
"The withdrawal of the foreign
ers from the Tampico oil fields after
the occupation of Vera Cruz by
American forces, and the danger of

possible for the operators of tho oil
wells in every case to meet their con-
tractural obligations or to comply
with the requirements of the authori-
ties. AS a possible result, some of
the contracts may be Cancelled or
some of the properties may be con-
fiscated, and the interests resold.
1.-THE matter has been brought to
the attention of the governments of
the United States, Great Britain and
the Netherlands. Appreciating the
great injustice to the operators, who
for their safety were compelled to
leave the district and so unable to
comply with their contracts and legal
provisions. the three governments
have formally agreed that they viii
not support automatically any claims
to interests in the oil regions ac-
auired directly or indirectly by their
respective nations since April 70,
1914 which in any way were affected

sulting from the inability of the bona
fide owners to meet their contractural
or legal obligations because of mill
tarv operations or the disturbed po-
liticsl state in and about Tampico
and Tuxpam.
This agreement in no way, now
ever affects any case. in which the
owner could have performed his op-
legations, or any case of legitimate
transfer.
arrangement by the three govern
ments. whose nationals constitute the
great bulk of the oil operators In
Mexico, will be effectual in prevent
ing adventurers from taking unfair
advantage of the situation of unrest
in the Tampico district since vera
Cruz was occupied.
Constitutionalist authorities at
Tampico have notified the state de-
nartment that they have directed
that the tax on oil production there
shall be at the rate of twenty cents
per ton, in accordance with regula-
lions made during the Madero ad-
ministration, instead of seventy-five
cents per ton, the rate fixed by the
latest Huerta decree.

nit that without night sessions q,

as had been stated by Senator Kern.
Democratic floor leader.
A single point about the desire for
a vote is that the opponents of the
repeal seem just as anxious to vote
as the pro-repeal men.
One big stumbling block remains
in the foreign relations COMMITTEES re-

TWO DEAD, THIRD

|NMOTORDROME
Pittsburgh Track Scene of
Tragedy as Motorcycle Gets
Beyond Control.


PITTSBURGH. June 1.-Two per-
sons. were dead today, another dying
and six others were suffering from
injuries as result of the accident
last night at the Motordrome when
Archer Armstrong; racing motor
cycle carried him over the safety de-
vice at the finish mark. The machine
somersaulted through the air and
landed with the rider in a box filed
with spectators.
THE DEAD.
Charles MarsoIf. forty-seyen, Home
stead.
Benjamin Kernohan, sixteen. Home-
stead.
SERIOUSLY INJURED.
Archer Armstrong. broken back, left
arm broken. right leg broken, injured
internally, dying.
Robert Rowley. left leg broken.
William II. Nanderbury. cuts and
bruises.
Thomas Daley, four, ribs broken. cuts
and bruises.
The riders were on the last lap of
race and were going at the rate of
about eighty miles an hour. when
Armstrong let some gasoline into his
machine to increase its speed. Van
derbury and Seliga. other riders. were
racing elbow to elbow just ahead of
Armstrong at the time. As Arm
strongs machine leaped ahead he
tried to pass those riders, but was
forced near the top of the saucer and
lost control of the machine.
A panic seized the crowd in the
rush for the exits. Many were
knocked down and trampled upon.
Coroner Samuel Jamison has begun
careful investigation of motorcycle
racing here.
The fatal accident in the Pittsburgh
Motordrome last night recalls the
tragedy in the Newark Motordrome
September s, 1912, when eight persons
were killed. The accident here was
similar to that in Pittsburgh, a rider
losing control of his machine while
going at high speed and crashing into
the spectators.
Archer Armstrong, the rider whose
motorcycle caused last nights fatality.
and who is dying as a result, is we'll
known in this city, having ridden in
the contests at the Motordrome here.
His home is in Philadelphia. Last
season he rode at the Brighton Beach
Motordrome.
Recently Armstrong had trouble
with his eyes-the dread of all mo-
torcyclists, and it is presumed this
led to his death.
Following the accident at the Mo-
tordrome here an ordinance was
passed forbidding motorcycle racing
in this city.
