PACKERS CHARGE BRITAIN WITH
 DELAYS
American Packers Urge State Department to Take Matter of Free Trade With Neutral Ma tiOnS With Great Britain.

WASHINGTON, July 14-American meat packers appealed to the State Department to demand that Great Britain stop interfering with their car goes consigned to neutral ports, and to settle for fourteen million pounds of their products now held up in the prize courts. They charge the British government with the destruction of commerce in food products between the United States and other neutral nations After two conferences be- tween the packers and Chandler An derson, special counsellor of the State Department it is announced the de- partment win make a representation to Great Britain.
 It is understood this is to be done immediately, the communication deal ing specifically with the complaint Of the packers and not going into the gen eral subject of interference with neu- tral trade, under the Order in Council, against commerce with German whi~'o soon is to be made the subject of an other note.
 In statement tonight, outlining their case as laid before the Depart ment of State, the packers declared the British government purposely de- layed settlements of thir claims for seized cargoes, and that they were not inclined to reopen trade with neutral countries unless they can be assured delivery Of shipments to the ports des- ignated,
 The statement lays particular stress on the cases of five cargoes shipped before November 25 in neutral steam CTS for Copenhagen, and seized on the high seas on the ground they were presumably. ultimately, destined 10 Germany. These cases were postpon- ed from time 10 time and are set to come up in the prize court again to- morrow

COMP PANY THREATENED
 WITH STRIKE
Remington Arms Co. Grants 8 Hcur Day and no Pay Reduc- tiOn; Strike Yet Liable to Ma terialiZe, It Is Said.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, July IA. - While some thousand machinists employed at the Remington Arms Co. plant were made jubilant tonight by the announcement that the company granted voluntary eight hour work day without reducing the pay, it is thought this action will not alter the present labor troubles. Semionicially it is intimated tonight that other work men will strike tomorrow in sympathy with the iron workers.
 Union officials declare the struggle will be fought out on the original de- mands-that the millwrghts become members of either the machinists or ironw0rkers unions. The whole ques- tion will be placed before Major Pen field, head of the company tomorrow morning when the committee of mill wrights will seek a conference.
 While declining to issue state ment tonight Major Penheld reiterat- ed his belief that German influences were back of the strike, while, on the other hand, officials of various un- ions declared such an assertion joke.

RELArloNs STAINED

SOFIA, July Relations between Bulgaria and Turkey are believed to be stained as the result of Turkeys failure to allow free passage of Bull garian passengers and goods on the Dedegatch railway, as had been prom ised The military authorities at Andrianapolis continue to hold up and examine the Bulgarian freight cars and it is charged that much of the freight examined is scattered or stolen
 Much unrest prevails among the Turkish population of Gumuljina where Young Turk agitators are try ing to incite the people to revolt in case Bulgaria joins the Entente Pow CTS
 The seriousness of the situation is indicated by the fact that the Bull garian charge d'anairs at Constant nople has advised the Bulgarian stu dents at Robert College and the Anne rican College for girls to return home.

LONDON. July 14-Despite the act ion of ehe government in applying the munitions war act to the coal mining industry, which will make the miners subject to severe ines if they strike it is practically certain large num- bers of men will stop work in South Wales tomorrow. thus curtailing the supply Of coal for naval vessels. The strike is expected to be short as the men are divided and lack funds.
 Except for a sharp conflict in Ar gonne, where the Germans claim near ly three thousand prisoners, there is little beyond artillery duels. The French claim the line at Argonne momontarily gave way. but in counter attacks drove the Germans back. There is no change on either the east ern or the Italian fronts
 The Federation of Miners of the United Kingdom, labor leaders and the general public upon whose support the South Wales miners would depend Co make the strike a success, are all urging them to continue work until an agreement can be reached. but the executive council of the South Wales Union, by a majority vote, refused to support this recommendation and a large proportion of the men are pre- pairing to lay down their tools
 There is a possibility the govern ment will utilize the miners who en- listed in the army and who have not yet left the country to work the mines This dispute which ieopardizes the work of the navy, occupies the public mind in England over all other mat ters, official reports of fighting in the east and west take second place.

CHEERS GREET ACQUITTAL OF' HARRY
 THAW
Harry Kendall ThaW, Slayer of Stamford White, Nine Years Ago, Declared Sane By Twelve New York Jurors.

 CLOSE MATTER FRIDAY

NEW YORK, July 14-Harry Thaw was declared sane by the jury which. for nearly three weeks has listened to testimony in the supreme court be- fore Justice Peter Hendrick. Forty eight minutes were consumed and two ballots taken Justice Hendricks on Friday morning will announce wheth- CT the commitment upon which Thaw was incarcerated in the state hospital for the criminal insane at Matteawan shall be vacated, thereby giving to the slayer of Stanford White his ib- erty for which he fought in the courts for nine years.
 When the verdict was returned Thaw grasped the hands of his attor- neys and then threw his arms about the neck of his mother and kissed her twice. He thanked the jury and later had his picture taken with them. When he appeared on the street on the way Co the sherin's ohice the throng cheered and clapped their hands
 lt was at the end of a day of ad- dresses by counsel and the charge of the Justice that the jury retired. While the twelve men were deiberat- ing the crowd in the court room and about he court house were augment ed by scores of persons who believed the verdict would be quickly found.
 Shortly after four the bailin came fr.E tice Hendrick that a verdict had been reached The doors were locked and the Justice, ascending the bench. warned the spectators that any demon straJion would be met with severe Then che jury came in. In reply Co the question by the clerk as to whether verdict had been reached, the foreman handed over a sheet of legal paper which was passed Go the Justice On the bench
 The Justice read it, handed it back to the clerk, who read the verdict Despite the warning several persons stood up in the front seats. The court room hummed like a dynamo The Justice and a dozen court atten- dants rapped for order In explaining why two ballots were taken, one juror said that on the first ballot the vote was eleven to one that Thaw was sane The dissenting juror said he cast his ballot that way more as a matter of form than anything else SO the yer diet would not be rendered without a formal discussion. The vote was unan- imous on the second ballot
