ATTEMPT TO DESTROY oRDUNA

British Liner Carrying Score Of
Americans Materially Strength
ems United States Position.

Washington, July 2O.-With the re-
turn here Of President Wilson the
formulation Of the policy to be pursued
by the United States as consequence
Of Germany's last note on submarine
warfare will be begun
The President will collaborate with
Secretary Lansing in completing a
note to the German government that
has ben tentatively prepared, to be
dispatched probably before the end of
the coming week.
Consequences Of Violation.
While details as to the course which
IL to be followed are withheld, it is
known that both the President and
Mr.. Lansing have practically made up
their minds that a definite statement
OF what the consequences Of further
violations of American rights would be
should be given to the German gov
ernment in the next communication.
There is little likelihood that there will
he any further discussion of the prin-
Ciples involved.
Involves orduna Attack.
BY the recent attempt to destroy the
British liner Orduna. carrying more
than a score of Americans on her voy-
age to the United States with no NUM-
tlHts or contraband, officials here feel
that the position of the United States
AZ stated in it's previous notes has been
materially strengthened. They declare
Il bears out the American contention
that the character of a vessel, her des-
tination and cargo can be safely de.
termined only by visit and search. AS
yet official information is lacking to
show whether the Orduna was attack
ed without warning and what the cir
eumstances were of her encounter with
the German submarine.
; Attack Seemingly Unwarranted.
In discussion of the case stress is
laid upon the fact that the vessel was

the attack on vessel carrying Ameri.
cans seemingly unwarranted
A statement of the circumstances
probably will be made by American
passengers aboard the Orduna to the
state department. although the Amer
lean government might take cogni-
zance Of newspaper statements. A
thorough investigation of the facts will
be made and request probably will
be sent to the German government for

Albany, N. Y, July 17.-Attorney
General Woodbury. will reserve deci.
sion as to whether he will appeal from
the Thaw verdict until he has exam.
ined the court records before Justice
Hendrick. This information was made
public in statement from the attor.
ney generals Office, explaining that the
formal notice of appeal was taken to
prevent Thaw leaving the jurisdiction
of the court.
Leaves Courtroom Free Man.
New York, July Hilary K. Thaw,
who shot and killed Stanford White
on the night of June 26, 1906, walked
from the courtroom free man. JUS
tfce Peter A. Hendrick accepted the
finding of the jury that declared Thaw
sane and Immediately after announc.
ing his decision admitted Thaw to
$4,000 bail.
After the question of surety had
been satisfactorily arranged Thaw, es.
corted by Sheriff Griffenhagen and sew
eral deputies, motored to the office Of
Thaw's attorney, where Thaw's suit
case was waiting.
The grip was tossed into the car
and the autos headed for the CORTLAND
street ferry, and Thaw passed out Of
New York state on his way to his
mothers home in Pittsburgh.
Alienists Are Scored.
In announcing his decision, Justice
Hendrick took occasion to comment
unfavorably upon the action of alien
lists who had assisted the state in pre-.
pairing the case and then appeared as
expert witnesses in court.
Il have reached a decision in this
case," Justice Hendrick said, "and it is
based on my own mind fortified by the
action. Of the jury"
Thaw, sitting comfortably in his
chair, his counsel on each side, showed
his pleasure and anticipated the
courts decision with broad smile.
Il meant to say a word about the
alienist," Justice Hendrick continued.
I'VE have been told by one alienist
that it is impossible to determine the
sanity or insanity of a person without
taking the word of alienists. This
court and jury cannot depend upon the
word of an alienist who, for years, has
devoted himself to a case of this kind
and assisted in its preparation. That
doctor can help prepare a case and
then go on the stand as an expert wit
ness is wrong.
Il hope the legislature of the state
will find some means to correct this.
Some other method should be adopted.
Gentlemen, have adopted the verdict
Of the jury. declare now that it is the
decision of this court that Harry K.
Thaw Is sane"

into touch with members of the prison
commission, but so far have failed to
reach any of Them"
Attack Planned Alone.
Green said when taken from solitary
confinement long enough to be ques.
toned, that he planned the attack
alone and that no one knew what he
intended to do. He was not commune
cative and gave as his only excuse
that "he thought 1t should be DONE"
He said, however, he regretted his act.
Frank was quartered at night in a
dormitory with about 100 other pris-
oners and occupied a bunk about 40
feet from one of the two doors to the
large room. Green's bunk was fourth
from his. No prisoner is allowed to
leave his place without permission
from one of the two guards stationed
at the dormitory at night. Shortly
after IL o'clock Green called out for
permission to get up and it was
granted.
He started down the line of hunks
toward the one occupied by Frank. As
he reached it he quickly grabbed
Frank by the hair and delivered one
blow with the knife he had concealed
A guard rushed to the bunk and pre-
vented Green from striking again.

Military experts here construe the

movement in W hich the Germans are
making herculean effort to destroy
the Russian army. Both the German
and Russian communications agree
that the German forces are at the
Windau river near Goldingen, which
is only 80 miles from Riga, the great
strategetic commercial metropolis in
the Gulf of Riga and on the upper Bal
tic.
slavs Try to Hold Back Germans.
An official statement received from
Petrograd adds details of sanguinary
fighting all along the new line in ef-
forts to hold back the German advance
which now is being concentrated on
Riga and on Warsaw while the Aus
trian-Hungarians are moving north
ward from the Dniester river.
Advices reaching London say that
the Germans left a. trail of destruction
along he Baltic sea from Memel to
Libau, where the villas hotels and
casinos are alleged to have been de-
stroyed, about the only exception, it
is said, being the palace of q Polish
nobleman, whose cousin married an
American woman. The palace now Is
being used as military headquarters
in which Prince Henry of Prussia and
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg recent
ly conferred on the new offensive to-
ward Riga.
Crown Princes Drive Failure.
The Crown Prince Frederick Will
liam's drive in the Argonne forest
now is reported as small success, in
gaining few hundred yards of Ter
rain, but as a failure in attaining its
real object-a decisive penetration Of
the French line.
Field Marshal Won Mackensen's army
that swept through Galicia is giving
signs of renewed activity in pursuance
of the assumed plan of the Teutonic
forces to attack simultaneously all
along the sweeping 800-mile front
from the Baltic to Bessarabia. Unof-
fetal reports through Geneva declare
that the lower end of this line Of Aus
TRAN troops who crossed the Dniester
have been driven back to the other
bank, where their retreat Is being
turned into rout.
