AWAITS EVIDENCE
IN THRESHER CASE
Bryan viii Take Up Question
of Americans Death if
Facts Warrant.
U. S. OFFICIALS VERSION
WILL Determine ACTION
Ambassador Page Has Reported
Simply the News of the Tragedy
as He Heard It.

While further reports from Ambassa-
dor Page and Consul General Skinner
at London on the death of Leon c.
Thresher, an American, in the sinking
Of the British steamer Falaba by a
German submarine. must be received
before the Washington government
can determine on what course it will
pursue. State Department officials let
it be known today that there would
be no delay in arriving at decision
when the official version of the incident
was at hand.
Such reports as are now at hand
could not form the basis of any repre-
sentations on the subject. Unless evil
dence gathered by American officials
abroad clearly shows the German sub
rights under the rules of international
law, the question of Thresher's death,
officials believe, will be taken up with
Germany through diplomatic channels.
Page Reports Thresher's Death.
Reports that an American life had
been lost in the war zone around the
British Isles We're brought officially to
the attention of the Washington gov
ernment last evening when Ambassado or
Page and Consul General Skinner n,
London cabled that Leon c. Thresher
an American mining man. was supposed
to have been drowned in tho destruc-
ton of tho British liner Falaba by a
German submarine.
The reports merely transmitted un-
official statements. and instructions
were sent Immediately to both officials
to begin an investigation and report
promptly.
tion and official data was made yester-
day by Representative Gillett of Mas
sachusetts at the request of Thresher's
brother in West Springfield. Mass.
Await Official Version.
No action will be taken by the gov
ernment until this official version of
Thresher's death has been received and
all the facts surrounding the destruc-
tion of the Falaba have been carefully
scrutinized.
A representative of the company
which had employed Thresher saw him
aboard the liner before she sailed.
This Is as far as official information
goes. and Ambassador Page or Mr..
Skinner will now undertake to get a
statement from survivors of the steam
er and who can give positive evidence
that the American was drowned.
Officials had little doubt that the
case eventually would form the subject
of representations to Germany. In Its
note after Germanys war zone procla-
nation the Washington government
notified the German foreign office that
1t would feel compelled to hold that
government to strict accountability"
for the loss of American lives or prop
erty through the operations OF sub
marines against British merchant ship
ping.

GERMANY ASKED TOPAy
FOR SINKING THE FRYE
Cabinet, in Session, Hears of No New
Developments in 1nterna-
tional Affairs.

No new developments in tho various
international questions in which the
United States is concerned were re-
ported at todays cabinet meeting.
Members of the cabinet and White
House officials refused to discuss the
between China and Japan.
Indemnity for the full value of the
American ship William P. Frye. de.
stroyed at sea by the German convert
been formally requested from Germany
by the United States government.
Acting Secretary Lansing announced
that a note on the subject had been
sent to Ambassador Gerard for presen-
tation to the foreign office at Berlin.
Pending its receipt in Berlin the docu-
ment will not be made public, but IL
was described as a recital OF the facts
and a presentation of a claim for dam
ages on behalf of the owners of the
vessel.
Cargo British Owned.
No representations were made concern
ing the cargo, since 1t was established
after an Investigation by the State De-
partment that 1t was sold en- route and
was British owned at the time Of the
sinking.
The American government contends in
the note that the commander of the
Flitel was not warranted in destroying
the Frye. because it could not lawfully
have been condemned as prize had
it been taken into a prize court.
The destination of the cargo was a
private firm In England. the American
learned, and the wheat
therefore could not have been consid-
cred as contraband.
The general belief in official quar-
ters here has been that the case VIII
be settled without difficulty as soon as
a full report of the affair mailed by the
German embassy here reaches Berlin.
which is expected to be this week.

SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS PRAISES
JUDGE SHEPPARD'S INSTRUc-
TONS TO FEDERAL GRAND
JURY.

The San Antonio Express of recent
date contained the following regard
ing Judge VIM. B. Sheppard of this
city:
Lawyers, jurors, court attaches
and just onlookers heard in the fed
eral court yesterday morning a
charge to the grand jury that long
will stand as a classic in the charges
that have been delivered in the tri-
bunals of this city. 1t was probably
as much of sermon as a charge on
the dignity of the law and equal JUS
tice to all.
Judge William B. Sheppard of the
Northern District OF Florida, who is
presiding temporarily in the Western
District of Texas, in the absence of
Judge T. s. Maxey, sitting in the
district court at New Orleans, read
the charge. For almost an hour the
Judge had the close attention of his
hearers. The court covered all salient
features of the common violations of
the federal statutes, and briefly told
the origin of the grand jury.
soon after hearing the charge the
grand jury got into action and re-
turned it's first Indictment in the
afternoon
Aside from organization of the le-
gal machinery, so to speak little was
done beyond the continuance of
number of civil actions on the docket
and in which all parties were not
ready for trial.
THE routine proceedings will be
well under way this morning. At
torneys in several actions were in
formed they could take up their
matters today, for the court will con-
vene at 10 o'clock"
