Washington, July 30.-Defnite

Only an unexpected move in Mexico

lieved most of the factions are willing
for conference to restore peace, al
though Carranza is still holding off.
Whether in case the conference did

HEAVY DAMAGES
AWARDED N. J..
ALLEN BY JURY
Suit Against the Louisville
& Nashville Concluded in
Court of Record.
JUDGMENT AMOUNTS
TO ALMOST $1,000
Jury Was Out Only Short
Time In Case oI Young
Man Who Lost a Leg.

After comparatively short DELHI
Grafton, jury in the court of record
yesterday awarded a verdict to young
Mallory Johnson Allen, in the sum
of $685., with interest at eight per
cent, from the date of fling of suit.
This will give about two years inter
est, or total verdict of nearly SILL
600.
This case has figured in the public
prints for some considerable time.
Young Allen, the plaintiff, was en-
ployed in the yards of the Louisville
e Nashville railroad company in PEN
sacola, and one night while his train
was doing some switching on Alcaniz
street, while atop of car, the young
man was caught by the low trolley
wire, which intersects the spur track
of the L. & N. at that point, and he
was thrown to the ground. AS a re-
suit he lost one of his legs, it having
been necessary to amputate the leg
at the knee.
The electric company and the rail-
road company were concerned in this
incident, it was shown in the trial
which ended yesterday. The electric
company because of the low trolley
wire, while the railroad company on
account of allowing the trolley wire
to remain at such position over their
tracks. The electric company, it was
further shown, had settled its share
by compromise, in the sum of 81 200,
which was paid over to young Allen.
The other company was sued, and
some time ago judgment was obtained
in the sum of about $4,000. Taken to
the supreme court, judgment was re-
versed, on some question, and the case
which had its termination yesterday
was the second time the matter had
been threshed out, the second time,
however, on different procedure, and
the second hearing brought verdict
nearly three times as much as the
first one.
It is understood that the company
will take an appeal on the case, the
question being taken higher on new
lines than were presented heretofore
to the supreme court.
Jno. P. Stokes and R. Pope Reese
represented the plaintiff, and Blount
& Blount & Carter the defendants.

were William Gompers of Brooklyn,
and Cason S. Whitehurst of Norfolk.
Admiral Caperton reported he had
been warned the town would be at

for the defense, but the only disorder
was when snipers killed two Ameri-
cans.
Before the attack came Admiral
Caperton had asked for reinforce
ments in order to police the town
properly and the battleship Connec-
ticut, with five hundred marines will
sail from Philadelphia Saturday. All
soldiers and citizens of Port Au
Prince have been disarmed.

United States administer the financial
affairs of Haiti as was done in San

July 3d. Charles Becker was put to

morning for the. killing Of Herman

The former New York police heuten-

Of his wife pinned on his shirt over

"And I am going to meet It quietly
and without trouble to any one"
The deputy warden left Becker
about an. hour before the time set
for the execution and when the
priests, Father w. E. Cashin, the
prison priest, and Father Curry, Of
New York, came to administer the
last rites, they found the man con-
victed of instigating Herman Rosen-
thal's murder with mis- face resting
on his hand gazing at the prison floor,
The priests remained with him until
the end.
Shortly after 5 o'clock first of the
witnesses began to assemble outside
the prison walls. Quietly their names
were checked off by Deputy Warden
Johnson, who directed them to take
their places at a gateway that lee
directly to the execution chamber
There the witnesses were led to the
place of execution in a new death
house which had been built adjoining
the old execution chamber, where th5

WAVE OF ENTHUSIASM.

With Warsaw captured, a great
wave of enthusiasm will sweep over
Germany and AHstro- Hungary and it
is predicted here that the armies of
the central powers will then seek to
force a period of trench warfare in
the east, meanwhile throwing a great
weight of men and guns to the west
with the idea of resuming the batter
ing towards Calais and perhaps to-
ward Paris.
The British public Is so little i'm
pressed with the events in the East
that David Lloyd George, the minis
ter of munitions, in a speech yester-
day apparently thought it necessary
to drive home the gravity of the sit
uation in the minds of those inclined
to over-optimism, reminding them
that reverses in Russia would mean
increased pressure on the western al
lies. He summed up his opinion with
the admonition that the situation is
serious if not perilous."

RUSSIANS FACING A
GRAVE PROBLEM
By AssocIATED PREss.

London, July 30.-While the Rus
SLAMS face the problem of evacuating
Warsaw and the surrounding coun-
try without losing their armies, they
are said to be delivering heavy blows
and gaining some local successes. The
Austro- Germans, however, are said to
be making a supreme effort to cut
them off. Berlin states that Field
Marshall Won Mackensen has reached
the Chelm-Lublin railway, midway
between those two cities, and that in
the southeast as far as Bug river the
Russian line has been Shaken"
Mackensen's accomplishment cuts
off one line of Russian retreat. Mil
itary observers here point out that
the Russians may have retreated fur
Their than already known and that
they surely had prepared for eventful
retreat.
1t is believed that as soon as the
Germans force the Russians back to
the new line the Germans will begin a
trench warfare there, and turn the at
tention to the west, where it has been
generally quiet for weeks, except in
Vosges. Berlin announced today that
hand-to-hand fighting continues over
one position. The Paris statement
tonight announced that there was no
infantry action today, but some sharp
artillery actions, and describes aero
plane commandments of German po-
sitions near Rheims and a German
factc&y in Alsace which was making
asphyxiating gas. It also announced
that forty-fve French aeroplanes this
morning dropped more than one hun
dred bombs on the gasoline works in
Alsace and on a railroad station near
by. All machines returned safe. 1t
is unknown what damage they caused.
Bad weather again is hampering
the operations on the Austro- Italian
front, but Rome announces that Aus
trian cruisers and torpedo boats were
repulsed in an attempt to recapture
the Austrian island of Pelagosa in
the Adriatic.
German aviators are lowering over
the city and, according to German
advices, plans have been completed
