 Before the President returns. Count Won BernstorR, the German ambassador will call on Secretary Lansing to explain the viewpoint of his government

 LAND COMMISSION

Panama, July flowing to recent troubles in the joint land commission it's failure to agree on important claims and allegations by the Panaman n1embers of the commission, charging unfairness by the American authorities, Governor Goethals of the canal zone has written the Secretary of War requesting that the commission be abolished and that other means for adjudicating land claims against the United States be found
 Governor Goethals advocates the organ ization of a court of claims in the canal zone to deal with land claims and giv- ing the claimants the right to appeal to a higher court in the United States if dis sa tisfied with the awards.
 The trouble between the canal offi- cials arose some months ago and reached their continuation early in June when the sessions of the commission were sus- pended and Levi M. Kagy, the Ameri- can commissioner returned to his home in Salem, III.

 This question is puzzling many mem bers of the legislature and probably will not be solved until the inves- tigating committee has delved into the subject. And, incidentally, that com mittee will be called upon to answer the question:
 To make a long story short, the leg islature of 1907 appointed eight mem bers of its body, three from the sen ate and five from the house, to serve as a code commission, at a salary of e10 per day each. The chief duty of this commission was to make a thor ough examination of the new code with a view to ascertaining whether or not 1t was correct. The commission re- ceived compensation for 62 days, or S620 each.
 Therefore, the question as to the legality of their fees.

teawan shall be vacated thereby giving to the slayer of Stanford White the lib- erty for which he has fought In the courts for nine years.
 II was at the end of a day of address by counsel and the charge of the justice that the jury retired. While the l2 men were deiberating the crowd in the court room and about the courthouse was aug mented by scores of people who believed that a verdict quickly would be found. Shortly before 1 o'clock n bailiff came from the jury room and informed Justice Hendrick that verdict had been reached. The doors immediately were locked and Justice Hendrick, ascending the bench. warned the spectators that any demon- stration would be met with severe punish ment. The jury came in. In reply to . question by the clerk of the court as to whether a verdict had been reached the foreman handed over d sheet of legal paper, which was passed to the justice on the bench. Justice Hendrick read it and handed it back to the clerk.
 ''Gentlemen of the jury said the clerk the question you have been asked is this Is Harry R. Thaw now sane? Your an- swei is Yes. ''
 Hum in Courtroom
 Despite the warning several persons stood up in front of their seats The court room hummed like dynamo Justice Hendrick and dozen court attendants rapped for order.
 Meanwhile Thaw, who, until the verdict was announced. sat at the counsel table with his chin resting in a handkerchief, had turned around and grasped the hand of several of his counsel Then he went to where his mother was sitting a few feet away, and throwing his arms about her neck kissed her twice. Mrs. Thaw at the same time patted her daughter Mrs. George L. Carnegie. on the shoulder.
 The verdict recorded, John B. Stanch- field chief counsel for Thaw. made a motion that the commitment signed by Justice Bowling, following a verdict of not guilty on the ground of insanity, which was returned by the jury at Thaws sec ond trial for the murder of White, be cated. Justice Hendriok asked Deputy Attorney General Becker what he had to say to such notion Mir Becker in reply requested time in which the state might prepare an appeal Justice Hep- drck reminded the lawyers that he had not given his decision. and that conse- quently it had not been finally decided which side might desire an appeal. He then set n o'clock tomorrow morning as the time when he would receive briefs and hear arguments in hts chambers on the motion to dismiss the commitment. The jury was discharged and then court adjourned.
 As soon as the Jury was dismissed Thaw crossed to the box and shook hands warm ly with each of the men. His mother also shook hands with the jurymen, saving to each: Thank you so much for all that you have done.'
 One of the jurors asked her whether she had ever had any doubt of the result of this proceeding. Mrs. Thaw smiled and replied in the negative. The jury and

Laborers Prepare to Lay Down Tools Despite Ap- plication of Munitions of War Act
GERMANS CLAIM
 NEW SUCCESSES
 AGAINST FRENCH
Reports Conflict, However, and Allies Claim Teut0ns Repulsed-No Change on the Eastern Front

London. July I4-GOiO5 p. m.)
 Despite the action of the govern
 ment in applying the munitions of
 war act to the coal mining indus
 try which will make the miners
 subject to severe fines if they
 strike, 1t Is practically certain
 that large number of men will
 stop work In south Wales tomor-
 row, thus curtniling the supply of
 coal for the naval vessels.
 The Federation of Miners of the United Kingdom, the labor leaders and the gen eral public, upon whose support the miners would depend to make the strike a success, are all urging them to con tinue work until an agreement can be reached. but the executive council of the South Wales union by majority vote refused to support this recommen- dalton, and a large proportion of the men are preparing to lay down their tools.
 Will Not Last Long
 If is not believed. however, that the strike will last long, as the men them selves are divided and the South Wales union has not the funds to finance a long struggle the Miners Federation of the United Kingdom, after its recommenda- ton. is not likely to assist them from it's have not yet left the country to work the mines.
 This dispute which jeopardizes the work of the navy, occupies the public mind in England above all other matters anG the official reports of the fighting in the east and west take second place lu fact, ex- cept fos sharp conflletfin the Argonne. where the German official communication claims an an attack by the crown prince s army was crowned with compiere sue cess" but which the French report says was repulsed, there has been little doing beyond the usual artillery actions and the bombardment of points of concentra- ton.
 Second Success Claimed
 This Is the second success claimed for the crown prince in the Argonne curing the last few weeks, but. as in the pre- vous case. there Is complete conflict of testimony between the two headquar- ters. The Germans state that they took nearly 5000 prisoners, while the French, although admitting that their line mo- mentarily gave way, declare that their counter attacks arrested the progress of the Germans and drove them back.
 There Is no change reported on either the eastern or Italian fronts. while re- ports that Turkey Is seeking a separate peace; that some change in the Balkan situation Is Imminent, and that the allies have made further progress on the Gal lipoli peninsula still lack official con. flrmation.

 Communication between the capital and Vera Cruz, by rail and telegraph, con- tinued and the Carranza government de- partments were said to be under pro- cess of organization as rapidly as possi- be Consul General Shanklin cabled that General Gonzales had given preference to provision trains over troop trains and that arrangements for soup Kitchens to relieve the capitals Restitution were pro- gressing and that they hoped soon to feed from 5000 to 10000 persons daily. Addi- tional dispatches confirmed the report that the Carranza forces had recaptured the waterworks from the retreating Za- pata army and that there was no danger of water famine.
 General Carranza from Vera Cruz as sured his agents here that he had ex- tended every protection, to Mexicans and foreigners within the capital and an- nounced his intention to issue an am- nesty law in the near future ''in an en- deavor to have those In error return to the true path
