 FLORENCE, Ariz, Dec. 14.-W. W. Kcrmeen. the Cochise county murder CT, who for the past year has been in the Florence penitentiary under the sentence of death. was today found to be a sane man in the Pinal superior court. the jury which had been impan- eled to decide the case having returned their verdict establishing the man s sanity at three o'clock this afternoon
 The question as to the mental con dition of the condemned man was raised several weeks ago by Warden Robert Sims of the prison, and the board of pardons and paroles recom mended a reprieve until a jury had had the opportunity of deciding whether or not he was insane. To days proceedings were held in the court rooms before Judge O. J. Baughn.
 The fact that the jury has found Kermeen to be mentally normal means that the man will be executed at the state prison on January :, 1916 unless there is some unexpected intervention in his behalf The man was first sen tenced to death on october 9. 1914.
 The work of taking testimony as to the mans mental condition was started yesterday afternoon. and con- tinued up until about noon today, at which time the ease went to the jury. IL took just three hours for that body to come to the conclusion that Ker- meen was 9 sane man. and that he

Dec l4-The steamer Oscar H.. which has on board Henry Ford and his peace advocates. has not vet been reported. l. is learned in official circles. however that it is hardly likely that the steamer which iS destined for Christiania will be taken into Kirkwau. It is believed that the Oscar II. has no cargo aboard, and following the policy out lined recently by Lord Robert Cecil. under secretary for foreign affairs in the house of commons. that the gov ernment will hardly take any steps that will bring the passengers any nearer the English coast than k nee essary.
 The government views the enter prise of Mir. Ford with indifference which admits neither of recognition or interference. a policy which of ficial circles believe Gan be followed with the greatest advantage hy keeping the Ford party from English shores.
 The International Committee of Women for Permanent Peace. through the president of the Swedish section has issued an official communication which says neither the Swedish sec tion nor the headquarters of the com mittce at Amsterdam will have any connection with Henry Ford'~ peace mission.

 On the G3Ilipoi peninsula, the Turks claim tn have repulsed an attack against their left wing at Seddul- Bahr. out the Turkish official com munications declared that nothing new has occurred at Kut- -EI-Amara, where the Turks are operating against the British who retired from the Bagdad region This is taken in military cir cIes here as an admission on the part of the Turks that their attacks on the British position on the Ti@ris river have failed
 The previous reports of the losses the Turks inflicted or the British hen thc British retired down the river are declared in private informa- tior now reaching London to have been exaggerated. For example. the three vessels which they captured turn out to have been a msboat and two barges.
 The Italians still are hammerne away at the Austrian positions around GoriZia. The town of Gorizia itself again has been bombarded.
