The Washington administration will

American endorsement of his plan, but
he was said to have intended all along
that the United States should have
the deciding voice in the conference
concerning the Mexican situation.
Secretary Lansing's denial that he
discussed to any extent, at least Am
eriean financial support for the pro-
posed new Mexican government, at his
Sunday meeting in New York with
Secretary of Treasury MeAdoo, was
generally accepted at it's full face

ON TRIAL TODAY FOR
SHOOTING At PLANT

Shooting Alleged to Have Been
Climax of Feud Between
Factions of Italians.
DI0RAND0 FIRST WITNESS
Specta. to The EVENING NEWS.

New Brunswick, Aug. o.
Charged with having shot Joseph Di-
orlando with intent to kill him at the
entrance to the barrel plant of the
Barber Asphalt Paving Company
ing of April 27 last, four men were
placed on trial before Judge Peter F.
Daily and jury here this morning.
The defendants are Mike and Barney
Talio and Harry and Joseph De Ber-
nardo, all residents In the vicinity of
Spa Spring. 1t is charged that they
desperately wounded Diorando, caus-
ing him to come near dying while
confined at the city hospital at Perth
Amboy.
Diorando was the first witness
summoned this morning He was on
the witness stand the greater portion
of the morning and at an early hour
this afternoon he was being grilled
by the cross-examination of Thomas
Brown. Mr. Brown, who is assoei-
ated with Andrew j. Wight in repre-
senting the defendants, is conducting
the case for the defense, while AS
sistant Prosecutor John A. Coan, of
South Amboy, is representing the
state. 1t was stated here today that
the case would probably consume
several days, owing to its Importance
and the number of witnesses to be
heard. Chief of Police Patrick j.
Burke, Detective Sergeant L. A.
Long and Patrolman Joseph Gutow-
ski, of Perth Amboy, are among the
witnesses on hand.
The case was started Thursday af-
ternoon. A jury was then drawn,
as published on Friday, and the ac-
ton was continued until 10 O'Clock
this morning. Joseph lombard, of
Perth Amboy, is on hand to act as
interpreter, the principals and wit
nesses being mostly Italians who do
not understand nor speak English.
The shooting is alleged to have
been the climax of feud which ex-
listed between factions of Italians
working at the Barber barrel plant.
According to Diorando's testimony
he was punched in the face and shot
by Barney Talio as he sat and later
stood at the entrance to the barrel
plant before O'Clock in the morning
of April 27. He alleges that as he
arose Barney shot him in the leg,
and as he ran Harry De Bernardo
shot him in the right side of the
back. He claimed that the other two
defendants and two others, still un-
captured, shot at him as he ran, but
the shots missed their mark.
Mr. Brown tried in vain to have
Diorando admit that he did not press
the complaint of the assault until
July 4, after he had been arrested
for carrying concealed weapons in
Perth Amboy. The victim of the
shooting denied that he had carried
any concealed weapon

Washington, August 9.-Urged by
American exporters, the state depart
ment was quickly completing today
it's tentative draft of an answer to
the British refusal to cease interfer-
ence with American shipments to
neutral European ports.
In brief, 1t was understood the
British will be told the American
Civil War precedence they cited are
not in point.
At that time it will be asserted
the United States government held
up no European shipments which 1t
did not know were intended, when
shipped, for the confedoracy.
Arbitration will be declined, on
the ground that there is no question
the British course is indefensible-
that the British themselves always
considered it so until the present
case arose. Accordingly, modifica-
ton of the order In council will
again be insisted on more emphati-
cally than before.
The notes draft will be subject to
