MARINES WILL NOT LANL;
WASHINGTON IS RELIEVED
Latest Message From Admiral How
ard Wednesday Says All Was
Quiet in Yaqui Valley.

Washington reports Wednesday
that official anxiety over the situa-
tion in the Yaqui valley, Mexico
where Indians had threatened the
American colony, have been consid-
erably relieved after receipt of re-
assuring advices concerning the sit
uation from Admiral Howard. He
reported by wireless that he had been
assured by Gen. Levya, .,leXican mil
itary ccmmandant at Guaymas, that
all was quiet in the valley.
In.view of the latest advices from
Admiral Howard, officials were con-
fident Wednesday that it would not

ness for that purpose unless adequate
protection is not given by the Mexi-

LANSING GIVES NEW NOTE
His CLOSEST ATTENTION
State Department is Collecting Facts
on Detention of Cargoes for
the British Note.

Sufficient facts on detention and
seizure of American ships and car
goes by the British fleet have not yet
been gathered by the state depart
ment to complete the new note to
Great Britain which has been under
preparation several weeks.
Secretary Lansing disclosed Fri
day that the portion of the note deal
ing with the principles of the social
ed blockade had long ago been out
lined, but that officials had been abb
sorbed in getting data on American
ships and goods detained or seized.
He intimated that the note in its
final form would be presentation Of
hte academic principles involved in
the blockade as we'll as British prac-
tice under the order in council.
The British memorandum review
ing the efforts to minimize inconveni-
ence to neutrals will be acknowledged
in the new note and some of its
points will be discussed, although it
is recognized in Washington that the
memorandum was not intended as a
reply to the American protest against
the principles of the order in council,
which Great Britain has not answer
ed.

term, I had ro,I of eminent counsel
in front pressing me to fix case at
once. T fixed it very nearly at once
that is to say, the second day of
the following term. They all came
and said:
"'We want an adjournment for
six weeks
"1s. The solicitor genera! hereup-
on remarked:
"If I might say so that one of
reasons I applied to-day on behalf of
the Crown that the matter should be
dealt with as soon as possible is for
that very reason. There has been
such a strong desire on the part of
America and American citizens that
there should be no delay, but one
finds, in fact, the delay comes from
there
"2O. The president then stated: I
know that. I do not know what the
explanation is, but I am anxious that
there should be no delay
"21. 1t is true that a number of
cases, principally relating to cargoes
which, though ostensibly consigned
to a person in a neutral country, are
In reality believed to be destined for
the enemy, have been pending in the
prize court for some time. The Unit
ed States government are aware that
most of these cargoes consist OF meat
and lard, and that much of the delay
in bringing these cargoes to adJudl-
cation was due to the fact that nego'
tiations were being carried on for
many weeks with representative OF
the principal American meat packers
for an amicable settlement out of
court. When at length, owing to the
failure of the negotiations, his Majes-
tvs government decided that they
would continue the prize court pro
ceedings, and had at the request of
the claimants fixed the earliest pos
sible date for the hearing, counsel for
the latter asked for an adjustment
in their interests despite the fact that
the Crown was, by his OWL admls-
sion, ready to proceed.
'.22. His Maiesty's government are
earnestly desirous Of removing all
cause of avoidabIe delay in dealing
with American cargoes and vessels
which may be detained, and any spe-
cific inquiries or representations
which may be made by the United
States government in regard to the
particular cases will always receive
the most careful consideration and
all information, which can be afford
ed without prejudice to prize court
proceedings, which will be readily
communicated; but they can scarcely
admit that on the basis of actus:
facts, any substantial grievance on
the part of American citizens is JUS
titled or can be sustained, and they,
therefore, confidently appeal to the
opinion of the United States govern
ment as enlightened by this memo.

MOSCOW RIOTERS DESTROY
GERMAN SHOPS AND HOMES
Petrograd Reports Destruction of 500
Factories and Stores and
200 Private Lodgings.

Petrograd reports. via London
Moscow suffered damage to amount
to twenty million dollars during the
recent anti-German demonstrations,
during which five hundred factories
and stores and more than two hun
dred private lodgings were wrecked.
The bombs turned the city into
wild disorder. according to eye-wit-
nesses. From music stores, piano
and other musical instruments were
hurled into the streets, piles of
wreckage made traffic impossible.
The rioters heated with liquor,
found in the demolished wine stores,
became reckless IN their raids, burn
ing many stores and apartments, the
owners of which were Russians. Of
the total number of buildings de-
stroyed only one hundred and thir-
teen belonged to Austro-German sub
jects. The demonstrations, begin
ming on June I, lasted more than
hours.
The Moscow council at a meeting
held on June 10 took measures to
quell the disorder and prevent repe-
titioE of the rioting. The number of
fatalities is not known.

COST OF LIVING HIGHER
Government Statistics Show Increases
Year by Year.

The cost of living is higher than
ever before in the United States, as
far as government statistics show,
and is increased each year.
In 1914, the years cost OF fllllns
the market basket of the average
workingman's family was 6.6S high
er than it was in 1913, and S60.43
higher than it was in 1907, calcu-
lating on relative price changes an
nounced by the federal bureau of
labor statistics as result of its most
recent investigation of retail prices.
These figures represent prices OF
fifteen articles aggregating approx
mately two-thirds of the expenditure
for food by the average working
mans family. The cost of these arti-
cles in 1913 was s333.90, making
the 1914 cost S340.5S, willie in 1907
it was S2S0.75. Calculating these
amounts as two-thirds of the work
ingman's family food expenditure,
the total spent for food in these years
would be: 1913, s500.S5; 1914,
s51O.S7. and 1907, $4,000.
The bureaus investigation covered
forty-four important Industrial cities,
representing thirty-three states. 1t
showed retail food prices in the
period 1907 to 1914 reached third
best point in 1914, while the lowest
price was in 1907.
This, however, is not true of each
article. Flour, for instance, was 5.3
per cent. higher in 1909 than in
1914. Sugar, which reached re-
markably high point in August, 1914,
was 10 per cent. lower for the year
1914 than for 1911, and was also
lower for the year 1914 than for
the years 1910 and 1912. All meats
were higher in 1914 than in any of
the seven preceding years. Except
for lard and such articles as are af-
fected by seasonal changes. the high
est price during the year was either
in August or September.

FIGHT ALONG DNIESTER
Is FIERCE AND DESPERATE
Both Sides Agree as to Nature of the
Struggle Going on-Galcian
Field Important.

On Friday tn, war situation was
as follows:
German and Austrian accounts Of
the fighting along the Dniester agree
as to the desperate nature of the
struggle waging there. Berlin, how
ever, admits retrogression at only one
point-Tartinow declaring that else
where N the southeastern war thea
tre they were making progress.
Latest news of the campaign in
France show a resumption of eX-
treme activity on the heights of the
Meuse, where the French tell of a
violent German attack. The German
claim is that the operations there
were begun by the French, and that
a trench was retaken from them. The
French admit German advance, but
declare the former lines later were
re-established. In the Argonne the
Germans declare they have made
gains.
Galicia and it's border continue to
embrace the present main field OF
military activity. The Russians are
fighting hard f>r the Galician terri
tory that remained to them after the
Teutonic drive to Lemberg and be-
yond. Desperate battles continue
along the Dniester, where the Rus
slams claim German forces have push
ed across the river in two places. In
the Ko5mierjine district Grand Duke
Nicholas forces are on the offensive
and claim to have carried a strongly
fortified height by assault.
Accounts of conditions in Lembere
during the Russian occupation, re,
ceived in Berlin, tell of hardships
suffered by the families of officials
displaced by the change from Aus
trian to Russian authority. Promi-
nent men, reduced to penury, had tc
resort to wood chopping for living
while the women Of their families
went into their kitchens, baked bread
and cakes and then travelled from
house to house selling their product
Activity along the front where
Austrian and Italian armies are fac
each each other still is chiefly in the
nature of infantry activity. The Ital.
ians claim, however, to be gradually
advancing along the Isonzo and te
have srepulsed Austrian attacks al
several points.
Latest Paris reports show French
progress only in the ridges east o.
Metzeral in the Vosges and there only
to slight degree.
Nothing new has been heard from
the Dardanelles.

ISSUES LOT & STATEMENT;
SLATOa EXPLAINS ACTION
Extracts !om Georgia Governors
Resun1 Of Facts and Opinions
w Ech Influenced Him.

In his statement, .eyhaustively eX-
planning his reasons for committing
Franks sentence, Gov. Slaton review
ed the circumstances surrounding the
murder of Mary Phagan in the Ma
tiopal Pencil factory on April 26,
1913, the conviction of Frank and
his a. peal for clemency. He men
tioneG the attention attracted to the
case all over the country and the
widespread appeals for commutatlon.
Continuing the statement reads:
rhe murder was most helnous
on. and the offender deserves the
pv. lishment of death. The only ques-
ii. n is as to the identity of the Grim
i',al. The responsibility is upon the
:, sople of Georgia to protect the lives
if her citizens and to maintain the
iignity of her laws and if the choice
must be made between the appTo-
baton of citizens of other states and
the enforcement of our laws against
offenders we must choose the latter
alternative.
cit is charged that the court and
jury '. ere terrorized by a mob and
that the jury were coerced into their
verdict. When Frank was indicted
and the air was filled with rUmors
as to the murder and mutilation of
the girl there was intense feeling,
and to such an extent that my pre-
decessor, Gov. Brown, stated in argu-
ment before me that he had the mil
tia ready to protect the defendant II
any attack was made.
Some weeks later the defendant
was put on trial" The governor then
referred to Georgia's laws, relating
to charge of venue, declaring these
provisions most broad in behalf OF
the defendant insure a fair trial.
Frank, he said, went to trial without
asking a change of venue and sub
mitted his case to jury that was &C
ceptable to him. During the pro-
gress of the trial. he continued,
latter evidence had been introduced
laying the crime with many offensive
details upon Frank, the feeling
against him became intense. :.
If the audience in the court room
manifested their deep resentment to-
ward Frank, it was largely by this
evidence of this feeling beyond the
courts power to correct. 1t would
be difficult for cn appellate court or a
trial court to grant new trial in
such long case because the audi
ence in the court room on a few oc-
casions indicated tn ir sympathles.
The jury found the defendant
guilty and with exception of the dem-
onstration outside the court room
there was no disorder. Nothing was
done which the court could correct
through leg;:l proceedings" /
The governor said the United
States supreme court had sustained
this ruling. He declared the charge
against the State of Georgia OF raclal
prejudice is unfair. He then reVle"-
ed the evidence.

fered by Austria in her effort to pre-
vent Italy's entrance into the war.

mnets beyond the occupation of such
territory as is r.entiored above. At
ter the war she will BE- ready, ac-
cording to the dispatch, to enter into
