GERMANY WILL
PAY DAMAGES
German Ambassador Believes
Prinz Eitel Case VIII be Set
tied Without Difficulty
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON. March 13.-Ger-
many probably WILL repudiate the ac-
tion of the captain of the Prinz Eitel
Friedrich in sinking the American
ship William p. Frye and make rep
aration for the loss of the vessel and
cargo, in the opinion OF German off
c;als here
County Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador. after visit to the state
department today. indicated that he
believed the case would be settled
without much difficulty. He told
Counsellor Lansing what the captain
Df the Prinz Eitel had told Captain
Boy-Ed naval attache of the German
emba ;sy. = sto the sinking of the
american ship; but the ambassador
reserved his own opinion on the conf
mander's action. saying he had not
instructions from his government.
Captain Thierichens. of the Prinz
Eitel. informed Captain Boy-Ed that
his only guide while at sea for many
months and thus out of coHimunica-
tion with his government, was the
Declaration of London. This would
permit the destruction of neutral
prize If carrying a cargo more thar
half of which could be proved to be
contraband. provided it was impossi-
BILE to take the vessel to a home port
without endangering the captor war
ship.
Since wars outbreak Germany has
tlf5ined its views on shipments of con-
I2etional contraband and contended
That foodstuffsl must be proved to DO
bound actually to the belligerent
itforces OF an enemy before they can
tSbe seized.
The German aDibassador sent to his
government full report OF the story
of the German captain and the rea-
sons for the latter's action.
1t was said on good authority that
IN his report to his government the
ambassador pointed out that, while
i the captain acted as best he could
under the circumstances, being ignor-
ant of the status of the contraband
/, situation, this fact would not affect
the necessity for the payment of dam
ages and the making of reparation by
the German government, though il
would be an important factor in re-
lieving the commander from personal
| liability.

OCCUPIES HIS OLD

Faces Renewal Of Determined Ef-

Him Back to Asylum
NV Associated Press.)


New YORK. March l3.-liarry Is.
Thaw. acquitted today of conspiracy
in escaping from Matteawan. faced
tonight a renewal of the determined
efforts of New York States to send
him back to the asylum. I'P his cell
in the TombS he was enthusiastic.
His Keepers said he was whistling
like bov and seemed to be the hap
picst man in the city.
Almost endless litigation seemed
TO be in sight as the result OF the
verdict. The words Of acqdittal had
scarcely died on Foreman ,Bailey's
lips when Deputy Attorney General
Cook moved to have Thaw recommit-
ted to Matteawau. This was opposed
by John Il. Stanchfield. chief of
Thaw's counsel. on the ground that
the court already had under advise
ment a motion 10 return Thaw 10
New Hampshire. whence he came 10
answer the conspiracy charge. The
motion vas renewed and Supreme
Court Justice Page set Monday for
argument thereon.
In the meantime Thaw occupies his
old cell in Tombs prison. the cell in
months from the night he shot and
years ago, TO his removal 10 Mattea-
wan.
Thaw's four aides in his whirlwind
automobile flight through four States
10 Canada were acquitted by the
same verdict which acquitted and
were discharged. Deputy Attorney
General Kennedy while satisfied
with the verdict insofar as 1t relat-
ed TO Thaw. said that he had expect
ed conviction of Thaw's accom-
plices.
An appeal from Justice Pages de-
ci3ion in the motion TO return Thaw
to Matteawan was regarded almost
as certainty. regardless of what the
decision might be. The case. there
fore, seemed likely to remain In the
courts for months before final decis-
ion.
Before returning it's verdict ac-
quitting Thaw and his codefendants.
the jury labored all night and until
l2:2O O'Clock this afternoon. The
verdict was reached quickly after
the reading of that portion of Thaw's
testimony which concerned his in
tent in escaping from Matteawan--
as to, whether he intended to commit
crime-and his own views az to his
sanity.
The closing proceedings of court
were enlivened by a personal en-
counter between John Lanyon, pri-
vate detective in the employ of the
attorney generals Office. and Sheriff
Grsfenhagen, of New York county.
Lanyon resented the sheriff's order
banning him from the court as q pri-
yate individual and. aftcr dispute.
it is said. struck the sheriff in the
face. Lanyon was arrested, but after
the jury had been discharged, he
was brought into court and released
after be had apologized to Justice
Page and Sheriff Grifenhagen
Thaw dined heartily in his cell in
the Tombs tonight. To warden who
brought him a number Of colgratu-
latory telegrama lie expressed graft
fication at the verdict. but was non
committal when IL was suggested
that he might coon be declared sane
and receive his liberty.
I'm not so sure of the outcome
as that" said Thaw. but am going
to make fight for IL.

.OR.J.LEE NJ 0MAS, PIONEER
PHYSICIAN. DIED MONDAY
Death Came to Aged Resident After
An Illness of Three Weeks.

DR.. ]. Lee McComas, aged so years,
8 months and 26 days, died at the
residence of his son, DR.. Henry Wheeler
McComas, in Oakland, Monday night,
December cost, 1915, at 1890 O'Clock,
after an illness of some two or three
weeks. due to the infirmities of advanc-
ed years.
The deceased was the son of Lee and
Sarah (Millias) McComas, having been
born in Baltimore where he acquired
his early education in the public schools
in that city and graduated from the
high school, after which he attended
Newton University.
In 1858 he entered upon the study of
medicine under the supervision of Prof,
j. R. W. Dunbar, M. D., of Baltimore,
and later completed the course of the
medical department of the University
of MARYLAND, graduating with the de-
gree of NJ. D. in 1858. Subsequent to
his graduation he was appointed resi-
dent physician to the Baltimore city
and county almshouse, where he re-
manned until 1859, and then was COM
PEELED to resign, on account of i'll
health. He then removed to Oakland
and established himself in the general
practice of his profession. In 1861 he
offered his service to the United States
government and was appointed an as
sistant surgeon of the army, being as
signed to duty at Oakland, where he
was given charge of the Fort hospital
The following year he was transferred
to the charge of the hospital at New
Creek, W. Va, where he remained I'M
til the fall of 1862, and then returned to
his former post at Oakland, continuing
here until the close of the war. In 1861
he was ordered by General Fremont to
take charge of the United States stores
at Oakland and to guard the same with
his convalescent sick, martial law ex-
isting here at that time.

McComas resumed his interrupted prac-
tlce, in which he continued until a few
years ago. He attained national promi-
hence in his profession and was recog-
nized as an authority on many subjects
pertaining to his calling, notably dis
eases of children. He was gentle
man of high culture and had travelled
extensively in the United States and
foreign lands. The popularity of Oak
land and Deer Park as health resorts is
due in great measure to his wide range
of practice, many of his patients having
found here a speedy climatic cure for
their ailments. He was a member of
the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of
Maryland, the American Medical As
ISOLATION, the New York State Medical
Society, the Tri-State Medical Society,
and numerous other organizations of a
like nature. He was also one of the
vice-presidents of the World Congress
of Medico- Climatologists and a member
of the American Public Health Associa
ton. At the first Pan-American Con
gress he represented the Medical and
