JUSTICE POWDERS
: ON SECOND o. Sc
AGAINST James Pimmeto, Land
scape Gardener, Who IS
Accused of Murder.

Magistrate Jackson v. Garter IS as
vet undecided as to what action ne
will take in the case in his eouTt
against James Pimmeto, the Wen
known Italian landscape gardener,

Pilnmeto was examined Tuesday
evening in Justice Carriers court on
the second warrant issued against
him at the instance of A. !. Flnd!ay
nrosecufing attorney, in which %iit'l

ness. Thomas ]. steele. was exam
med at the hearing. He testified that

then saw Moreno, followed by PM
meto, come out the front door, saw
Pimmeto fire two more SHOTS anc
then saw Moreno fall. At the close
Of the hearing the justice TOOK the

emn word of warning to you
against that deepest, most subtle,
most essential breach of neutral
tty which may spring out of par
tisianship, out of passionately
taking sides. The United States
must be neutral in fact as we'll
as in name during these days that
are to try mems souls. We must
bc impartial in thought MS well as
In action, must put a curb upon
our sentiments as well as upon
every transaction that might be
construed as q preference of one
party to the struggle before an
other.
"My thought Is for America.
am speaking, I feel sure, the
earnest wish and purpose of ev-
cry thoughtful American that
this great country of ours, which
is of course, the first in our
thoughts and in our hearts,
should show herself in this time
of peculiar trial a nation fit be-
yond others to exhibit the fine
piece of undisturbed judgment,
the dignity of sclf-control, the eff
ficiency of dispassionate action, a
nation that neither sits in judg-
ment upon others nor is disturbed
in her own cOunsels and which
keeps herself At and free to do
what Is honest and disinterested
and truly. serviccable for the
peace of the world.
"Shau we not resolve to put
upon ourselves the restraint
which will bring to our people the
happiness and the great and last
ing influence for peace we covet
for them"

SWISS LOAN IS
AGAIN SOUGHT

Washington, Aug. 1s.-Dr. Paul
Ritter, the Swiss minister again today
made representations to the state de-
partnent in behalf of his government
for loan of gold from the United
States. -N.'
Switzerland, in a state of siege with
practically her entire male population
under arms, is facing serious ques-
tion. in regard to feeding her army.
The imputation that his country
might implicate the United States in
violation Of neutrality by using the
acquired money as loan to belliger-
ordinations was declared .preposterous
by Minister Ritter. He said that aside
from the qquestion of national honor,
Switzerland's domestic financial strin-
gency was such that she must have
fluid currency to restore normal con-
ditions at home.

Jews OF GREAT BATTLE SUPPRESSED BY CENSORS
Wilson Exhorts American People to be Mindful
OF Its Neutrality In Present Conflict; Effect of
War Dependent Upon Nations Own Behavior

Washington, Aug. 1S.-Address.
ing the American people, Prea.
dent Wilson today issued a state
ment in connection with the
European war, warming citizens
of the United States against "that
deepest, most subtle, most essen.
tial breach of neutrality which
may spring out of partisanship,
out of passionately taking Sides"
The presidents statement says:
~ suppost that every thoughtful
man in America has asked him
self during the last troubled
weeks what influence the Euro.
pean war may exert upon the
United States, and take the lib
erty of addressing q few words
to you in order to point out that
it is entirely within our own
choice what its effects upon us
will be, and to urge very earnest.
ly upon you the sort of speech
and conduct which will best safe
guard the nation against distress
and disaster.
"Tlle effect Of the war upon the
United States will depend upon
what American citizens say and
do. Every man who really loves
America will act and speak in the
true spirit of neutrality, which is
the spirit of impartiality and
fairness and frlcndliness to all
concerned. The spirit of the ma
ton in this critical matter will be
determined largely by what in
dividua1s and society, and those
gathered in public meetings, do
and say, upon what newspapers
and magazines contain, upon
