WIFE is CONVICTED
OF NUMBERING HUSBAND

Winston Salem, N. c., Aug. AT
1850 o'clock tonight Judge E. B.
Cline of the Supreme Court, having
received the verdict of the jury-mur-
der in the first degree-condemned
Mrs. Ida Ball Warren and Samuel
Preston Christy to death in the cleo
trio chair Friday, September "a, for
the murder of G. j. Warren, husband
of Mrs. Warren Clifton Stonestreet,
found gilty of being an accessory af-
ter the fact, was sentenced to three
years in the States prison.
Mrs. Warren stood erect until the
words fixed the date were uttered,
then with quick, nervous jerk, sank
into her chair, dropping for a minute
and then resuming apparent calm
ness.
In the event Mrs. Warren is electro
cuted she will be the first woman to
go to the chair in this state, and it is
said, the second woman ever to pay
the death penalty in North Carolina.
mWarren was missed from his home
here after August Is of last year and
his body was found in Muddy creek
Forsyth county :, Christy during the
interim had gone back to Texas, wher
he had lived for years with Mrs. War
rem and whence thewoman, then pos
ing as the wife of Christy, alias
Kearns, eloped with Warren.
Mrs. Warren, arrested after the dis
covery of the body, according to the
police, made confession duplicating
Christy, who was extradited. Christy
then is said to have made confesson
in which he told of plot by him and
Mrs. Warren to kill her husband.

EVERY SIGN OF REAL
ENTHUSIAM AND REJOICING
ARMY GREETED BY TEARS.
Warsaw Undamaged and Delighted by
Advent of TrOOps-Hats Waved
JOyfully at Invading Germans
Say Dispatches.

Berlin. via London.-The German
troops were welcomed to undamaged
Warsaw as liberators, according to
the report of Kurt Aram, correspond
ent of the Lokal Anzeiger.
Telegraphing under date of August
S, Aram places emphasis on the state
ment that the city was not evacuated
without a conflict. The forts were
protected by barbed wire, trenches,
pitfalls and mines against infantry at
tacks.
The inhabitants, the correspondent
says, filled the streets and welcomed
the in-marching troops with every
sign of real enthusiasm and rejoic-
ing. The streets were richly be-
tagged. The Polish peasants who
long had been restrained in the city
began leaving in the early morning
for their farms, driving their live
stock and conveying their household
effects. They greeted the Germans
with tears.
Joyous Reception
The Warsaw correspondent OF the
Berliner Tageblatt confirms the re-
port that the German troops met with
Joyous reception. The streets, he
says. were filled with Poles, Jews
Germans and Russians, who waved
their hats joyfully to the soldiers.
Many of the inhabitants even were
standing in the vicinity of the castel
although an infantry battle with the
Russians was proceeding to the easi
of the building.
The electric street cars were run
ming as usual, the correspondent says
and almost all the shops were open
Very little damage has been done tt
the city proper. The earthwo ork'
about the forts show the German ar
tillery made fair hits.
The correspondent of Iyangoro'
of the Lokal Anzeiger points out thu
occupation of that fortress in itself il
less important than the fact that i
makes possible an important increas'
of concentric pressure on the Russian
troops in South Poland. The often
sive of the armies of Archduke Eel
dinand and Field Marshal Won Mac
kenzen, he adds, continues in tn
north and on the yet unchanged Eas
Galician front and is likely soon t
make itself felt.

UNITED STATES REPLIES
TO AUSTRIAN PROTEST
NO VIOLATION NEUTRALITY.
America Flatly Repudiates Austrian
Suggestion of Violation of Neu-
trality-Standing Firmly on
American Rights.

washington, Aug. 10.-The United
States government today dispatched
to Vienna reply rejecting the Aus
tro-Hungarian views which were re-
Gently set forth in note contendlng
that the great scale on which war
munitions are being exported from
America to enemies of the Germanic
allies. lis not in consonance with the
definition of neutrality"
The reply may be made public later
by agreement between the two gov
ernments. Though framed in diplo-
matte language and entirely friendly
in tone. it is understood to repudiate
flatly the suggestion that the United
States has permitted violations of
neutrality, and to stand firmly upon
the right of American exporters to
send war supplies to belligerents able
to purchase and receive them.
The United States always has held
that this is an unquestioned right
and high officials have pointed out
that to prevent such shipments to one
country because another was not in
position to receive them, would in
itself violate neutrality. Precedents
also have been recalled where in pre-
vious wars Germany and Austria i'm
PORTED arms extensively.
The Austro-Hungarian note sci
forth the views of that government
and suggested that the United States
might make redress by informing
Austria's enemies that the supply o.
foodstuffs and war material to then
would be suspended unless legitimate
trade in the articles between Ameri
can and neutral countries was per
mitted.
According to Berlin dispatches this
complaint was sent after confer
ence between the Austrian and Ger
man foreign Offices. Similar notes, i
was said, soon would be sent to tn
United States by Germany and Tur
key.

Vera Cruz, where he will also board
the Sacramento. The two diplomats
probably will remain on the gunboat
until the Marietta arrives to bring
them to the United States. Although
much speculation continues here on
what definite plan of action has been
agreed upon by the Pan American
conference the feeling is growing
among those well informed on the
situation that it contemplates force
full action if Carranza does not yield

LAND FORCES SMASHING
TOWARD RIGA FRUSTRATED
'LARGE FLEET DISPERSED
British Advance Near HOOge, In west
Largest Battle Since Last May;
RumOr Italy May Challenge
Turkey is Significant.

London, August 10.-Although mil
itary operations in Russian Cour-
land have hardly reached the decisive
stage, the Germans who have been
smashing their way toward Riga have
been checked. Almost Simultaneous
ly German warships which attempted
to seize the Gulf of Riga and attain
strategic position to assist troops
ashore were dispersed and damaged.
The assembIage of German craft was
the largest of the war thus far, with
the exception of the allied squadron
at the Dardanelles. The fact that the
German warships were forced to re-
tire is a source of satisfaction to the
British press. The British advance in
the vicinity of Hooge, although not
comparable with the tremendous ac-
tions in Poland, marked the most inn
portant engagement in which the
British army has figured since the
battle of Festubert in May.
Balkan Situation Chaotic.
The Balkan situation is chaotic.
Dispatches from Salonika say that
the Austro German plan to strike
again at Serbia already has found ex-
preston in a concentration of Teu-
tonic forces along the Serbian from
tier. 1t is said 100000 men have been
massed near Orzova, Hungary, which
may be the forerunner of the pre-
dicted campaign through Serbia for
the relief of Turkey. Italy has not
declared war on Turkey, but entrust-
ing their affairs to American col
leagues. If this be true, it probably
means that impending developments
in the Balkans dictated the action of
Italy.
Peace on Surface.
It has been rumored frequently that
Italy would send troops to assist
France and England in the Gallipoli
operations, but thus far such reports
have not been borne out, and the
porte and Rome maintain surface re-
lations of nations at peace.
For Germany's reported peace
overtures to Russia the British press
fndso My sarcasm. Virtually all pa
pers reiterate editorially what Off
cials have insisted SO often, that there
can be no peace until the allies have
won. 1t is believed generally in En-
gland that Germany is willing to con-
clude as matters stand, but the bur-
den of all written and spoken COM
ment is that such a situation would
be imp ossible from the standpoint of
the allies.
