the United States to take the initiative
in sending ship to Turkish waters
for the protection of Christians, re-
marking that the sending of French
warships at this time might be misin-
terpreted. The French government in
its communication incidentally ac-
cused Germany of trying to stir up
anti-Christian sentiment in Turkey by
provoking the Mussulman against the
English and French.

WILL PRESS WIRELESS PROTEST

New York.-Count Won Bernstorff,
the German ambassador, who is in this
city, expects to return to Washington
to resume conferences with govern
ment officials regarding his protest
against wireless censorship, he said.
The ambassador added that he had re-
ceived no message from Germany dur
ing the day.

Washington.-Two serious develop
ments in the European war situation,
so far as the United States is concern
ed, arose here.
Secretary Bryan announced to the
representatives of European powers
that the armored cruiser North Caro-
lima was to be sent to Turkey with
gold for stranded Americans, who, it
has been reported, were in danger Of
being massacred by the Mussulmans.
Another announcement in the form
of an order which was cabled to for
eign ambassadors, urged all Amer
leans to leave Europe. without delay.
While the North Carolina goes on a
mission Of financial relief, her pres
ence in Turkish waters is intended to
have salutary effect with respect to
the treatment of Christians and for
eigners generally residents of the OF
toman empire.
Before taking the step, the United
States took precautions to sound the
powers of Europe as to whether they
would object to the sending of an
American warship to Turkey. In view
OF the extreme tension which prevails
at Constantinople, and the probability
that Turkey soon will be drawn into
the European conflict, the American
government desires to make plain
that its purpose in sending the ship
is in no way political, but designed
only to aid and protect Americans.
France took occasion, in her reply
to the American governments inquiry,
to express approval of the purpose Of

British Loss Is 5000.

London.-After several days of des-
perate fighting the British army in
France is rested, refitted and rein
forced for the next great battle, ac-
cording to an announcement by Lord
Kitchener, secretary of state for war.
In a statement based on reports
from Sir John French, commander of
the British expeditionary forces, the
secretary says that the British, after
struggling against tremendous odds,
retired to new line of defense. Their
casualties are between 5000 and 5000.

Germany Accepts Plan.

Washington.-Germany has virtual
ly accepted the plan of the United
States for the enforcement of neu-
trality over wireless communication to
belligerent countries. Though the
foreign Office at Berlin has suggested
some slight notifications, the sugges-
tion made by the Washington govern
ment two weeks ago in the main has
been approved. ~tr
The plan permits the German en-
bassy, as well as the diplomatic repre-
sentatives of all other belligerants, to
send code messages by wireless, but
American naval officers at all stations
must be taken into the confidence of
the senders to establish the neutral
nature Of communications.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, June 15-The judgment
of the speculative community as to
stock market probabilities was held in
allegiance today and price movements
We're narrow. No progress was made
toward clearing up the questions
which overland the market. The
shorts sought to make a bear argu-

ting forth President Wilson's insts-
tence on putting through at the pres
ent session of Congress the admins

the market was not affected greatly.
The dispatches from Washington and
Niagara Falls repressed any tendency
toward aggressive efforts on the long
side and the drift of the market was
downward, but the movement did not
attain important proportions. The
weakest stocks In the list were the
shares of the Gould roads. st. LOUIS

dend. which three months ago was re-
duced from one per cent. to a y. The
common stock fell three points and
other Gould shares sold off sympathet-
ically. Denver and Rio Grande COM
mon fell two points to 10 and the pre-
ferred three points, both low records
for a long period of years. Missouri
Pacific sagged more than a point
Steel was heavy at times and a
few of the specialties lost ground. IN

directors to take action on the diVi-

NEGRO MAID SPRINGS
SENSATIONAL CHARGES
CARMAN MURDER TRIAL
(By Associated Press.)

MINEOLA, N. Y, Oct. 21.-Cecelia
Coleman, negro maid in the Carman
household, sprung some sensational
testimony against Mrs. Florence Car
man here this morning when she was
called to the stand by the prosecution.
The negro house girl testified that Mrs.
Carman ran through the kitchen, where
she was with a smoking revolver in
her hand shortly after the shot was
fired which killed Mrs. Louise Bailey.
The negro girl further testified that
the morning after the crime was COM
mitted that her mistress came to her
room and begged her to stick by her
and not give her away"
While adverse testimony from the
negro girl was anticipated by the de-
fense, lawyers representing Mrs. Car
man were surprised at the startling
nature of her statement.
The Coleman negress testified in an
swer to question by counsel for the
prosecution that Mrs. Carman said to
her the day after the murder:
"Oh, Celia, why did l kill that wo-
man. hope God will forgive me-"
The Coleman negres continued:
Mrs. Carman told me to forget I'd
seen her the night before. told Mrs.
Carman's lawyer I didn't know any
thing. The same day, Mrs. Carman
burned lot of old letters and told me
to summon her father from the barn
as she wanted him to get her revolver
out of the house.
Il didn't tell the truth at the cor
oner's inquest" the negress finished
testifying just before court recessed
for dinner at 2 o'clock.
