THRESHER CASE COMPLETED.


Washington, y. G.. April - Govern.
ment officials took under consideration
yesterday a statement from the German
embassy an official message from the
Berlin foreign office, in which responsi.
bility was disclaimed for the loss of any
neutral lives on board the British steam.
y falaba, recently sunk by a German
submarine.
The claim il set mp by Germany that
the Falaba, a. well as other British
merchantmen, was armed and that mill
tary necessity made Il impossible for
the submarine TO give any longer time
than was allowed for the passengers TO
escape.
state department officials say that the
death Of Leon {. Thresher. an American
lost with the Falaba. constitutes con-
plicated case. II the German view that
all merchantmen being armed are in
the category Of warships is accepted. the

time was permitted for the

Collector Hamilton Says the
Move Is Not Even
Thought Of Yet
SHORE LEAVE is
DENIED SEAMEN
Merchant Ships Are Also
Forbidden to Leave
Port

Newport News, Va, April I've are
not even thinking about internment of
the Prinz Eitel Friedrich now" declared
Collector Hamilton to-day after he had
waited expectantly throughout the night
for the German cruiser to leave port.
This declaration was the first authorita-
tive admission concerning the mysteri-
GUS negotiations relating to the ship in
many days. Internment, said Collector
Hamilton, would be a simple process
when the occa sion arrives.
One indication that the Eitel was not
interned early this morning was the
continuation OF the ban on the depart
ure of merchantships of the allies. The
customs officials here and at Norfolk
were appealed to by British ship cap
tains for permission TO leave but they
were told that they could not leave port
until further notice and no assurances
were given when they might sail.
Legal business organizations are ask
ing for some definite move. maintaining
that the situation is injurious TO the
business of the port. The officers and
the men of the Prinz Eitel had no shore
leave to-day.

GUILD FUNERAL FRIDAY.
Gov. Walsh Cancels All His Social En-
gagements.

Boston, April THE funeral of Cur
tis Guild, three times governor of Mas
sachusetts, who died early yesterday
morning at his home, l24 Marlboro
street, after five weeks illness of pneu-
monia, will take place at Arlington street
church at noon Friday.
Although the funeral arrangements
have not been completed, Ex-Lieut. Gov.
Louis A. rockingham, who with Courte-
nay Guild is looking after the prepara-
tions, stated last night that in all prob
ability there would be military escort
and that members of Gov. Guilds staff
would serve as ushers at the church.
Rev. Paul rockingham, pastor of the
church, will ofiiciate at the funeral serv-
ices, and he will be assisted by Rev. DR..
George A. Gordon of the Old South
church, who was a classmate of the ex-
governor at Harvard.
The death of exGov. Guild caused
Gov Walsh to cancel all social engage
ments he had made for yesterday, to-
day, tomorrow and Friday.
The governor yesterday sent word to
the organizations and other friends who
had planned official or informal enter
tainment for him that under the circum
stances he did not feel he could attend,
although fully appreciative of the honor.
The governors decision prevented him
from keeping several speaking engage
ments.

Rutland, April AFTER considering
the evidence and weighing the testimony
for over two hours, the jury trying the
case OF Leo +. Canty against the Rut-
land railroad returned a verdict awarding
the plaintiff Sl,I9l .33 at o'clock yester-

ly burned on August %, 1913, when a
can containing denatured alcohol explod-
ed while he was returning it to another
room. Canty sought to recover $4,000.
Several important law questions were
raised and it is possible the case will
be taken to the higher court by the de-
fense, this side as well as the plaintiff
taking many exceptions.

Thompson, Republican, Was
Elected Mayor Of Chi
cago by 10000
LARGEST PLURALITY
IN CITY'S HISTORY
More Than One-Half Of the
Counties of the State
Voted Dry

Chicago, April complete returns
from yesterdays municipal election
showed that William Hale Thompson
Republican, was elected mayor by plu-
rality of more than 10000, the largest
ever given candidate for the office. His
majority over all candidates was over
10000. For the first time in the city's
history, a negro, Oscar Depriest, was
elected to the city council. A total of
55 out of l02 counties in the state are
entirely dry to-day, three new counties
being added to the dry column.
In a speech last night, Thompson said:
My first official move win be to have
the chief of police drive the pickpockets
and thieves out of Chicago"
Political writer's were divided last
night as to the cause of Thompson's
sweeping victory in an election which at
best was expected to be a close contest.
In an interview Monday. Mayor Carter
Harrison, who was defeated when he
sought to be renominatcd for a sixth
term. declined to say how he would vote,
although the Harrisons have been Demo
cratic leaders in Chicago for generations.
Many were inclined to believe this indi-
Gated Harrison followers would cast their
votes for Thompson.
About So per cent of 10000 votes reg
istered We're cast. According to election
officials this set record.
The returns indicated that the total
Socialist vote in the city would not ex-
reed 10000 Seymour Stedman was the
Socialist candidate for mayor. The Pro
hibition party candidate, John Hill, ran
far behind Stedman.
Mayor elect Thompson was born in |
Boston. Mass, in 1868, and was brought |
10 Chicago by his parent the following |
year. In biographical sketch which he |
ssued prior to the election, he stated |
hat as boy he sold newspapers. and /
ater went to Wyoming and worked as |
'owboy and a brakeman. He rece we'd I

Petrograd Says Austrian

London, April 7, ll:5S a. NTH
military situation in the Carpathians il
competing with the prohibition ques
tion in the interest of the British pub
lie The cabinet meets to-day and il
is expected that an announcement vii
be made of measures to provide drastic
restrictions on the consumption of liquors
but total prohibition is not expected.
Attention is concentrated on the Car
pathian passes where the Russians are
bringing up heavy reinforcements to
push the attack, the success of which is
expected only through the weight of
numbers. On the other hand the Aus
trian and German commanders are also
making strenuous efforts to strengthen
their forces.
Petrograd reports that the section near
Uzok pass where Vienna admits re-
tirement extends for a distance of IL
miles. To offset this, Vienna claims a
counter offensive move near Lupkow pass
where the Austrians report taking 1000
prisoners.
In the western arena of war the French
continue the offensive movement be-
tween the Meuse and the Lorraine from
tier. Their reported gains in ALLY for
est indicate the possibility of new dan
ger for the Germans to hold st. Mihiel.
Berlin reports heavy fighting in this re-
gion without result for the French.
The belief that operations in the OAR
danelles have been resumed is general in
London to-day. Nevertheless complete
silence prevails concerning the details
or the results OF any activities.
Germany is thought to be pouring
troops into Hungary, even to the extent
of weakening her forces in Flanders. and
last nights Austrian official communica-
tion notes the presence and recounts the
success of German and Austrian troops
in the Laborcza valley.
There is less talk in England of the
spring advance of the allies in France
and Belgium and an increasing apprecia-
tion of the task Russia is attempting.
This leads to the belief in some quar-
ters that the leaders OF the allied armies
in the West are reckoning on the heavy
cost incident to smashing the German
line there. and may. perhaps, seek only
to hold their ground, in the belief that
the Russians viii succeed in invading |
Hungary, ultimately to join hands with
the allied forces working northward |
through Serbia.
