PROTEST ON STRIKE
Has Not Asserted That German
Influences Are Behind
Bridgeport Trouble.

A published report that the British
ambassador has lodged with the State
Department a complaint that German
influences are IT work In to cuse a
general and protracted strike at Bridge
port. Conn. arms manufactures was
denied at the British embassy today.
Sir Cecil Spring Rice. the British am
bassador. personally denied that he had
lodged a formal complaint with the
State Department. The ambassador said
the story is illogical because the Bridge
port strike Is a domestic affair and 1t
would be improper for the representa-
tive of a foreign government to inter-
pose in domestic affairs.
Whether or not he has his own sus-
picions regarding German influences is
not revealed by the ambassador. He
explained that even II he had belief
in the statement of Major Penfeld, Of
the Remington Company. that German
sympathizers are behind the walkout
1t would not be encumbent upon Great
Britain's representative officially to
present his belief to the State De-
partment.

sador Bernstorff, representing pro-
German interests, was interested in

ALCOHOLIC MEDICINE

The Government today began a cru
SADIE against alcoholic medical prcpara-
tions. which. while masquerading as
medicines. are in reality used as
booze in drv territory where Bourbon
and rye are not on the market
Collectors of internal revenue were
givensa list of 24G such alcoholic medi-
cal preparations. which were examined
in the internal revenue office and held
to be insufficientlv medicated to render
them unfit for use as n beverage
Expressed otherwise, the internal
revenue officials found that the medical
properties Of the preparations were so
nearly nil that they could be con-
sumed as readily in a wine or whisky
glass as by the spoonful.
All collectors were advised that a
special tax will be required for the sale
of any of the preparations named in the
list published by the internal revenue
office. even though such sales should be
for medicinal and not bibulous use.
Moreover, collectors were instructed
to aid the bureau in its crusade by
securing and forwarding the bureau Of
ficers in Washington samples of prep
arations which they have reason to be-
lieve are or may be used as a beverage.

Great Krupp Works
Is Threatened With
Walk-Out of Labor

GENEVA, July l6.-A report has
reached Basic that a big strike is 8reat-
ened at the Krupp Works at Essen.
Germany, the movement being headed by
the Union of Metallurgical Workmen
and the Association Of Mechanics. They
demand higher wages. the report says,
because of the increased cost of living
and shorter hours because Of the great
strain under which the work.
The workmen, according to these ad-
vices, are in an angry mood and threat
en- the destruction OF machinery unless
their demands are granted Immediately.
as they have been put off for three
months with promises. Several high Of
ficials have arrived at the krupp Works
in an effort to straighten out matters
and calm the workmen. the advices add.
and Bertha Krupp Is expected to visit
the plant and use her great influence
with the workers.
The Frankfort Gazette. according to
the news reaching Basle. has warned
the administration OF the Krupp plant OF
the seriousness of the situation. and
has advised that the mems demands be
granted. Meanwhile, the reports state,

Britain Surprised BY Size
Of Its Army on Continent

LONDON. July l6.-Lord Lansdowne's
admission. so far uncontradicted, that
the total British forces in the Euro
pean theater OF war" are only about
10000 men. has created such a dis
agreeable impression here that serious
attempts are being made to modify It.
One OF these methods is to show that
England's small army, while II has
had only thirty-eight miles out of a
total of 436 to guard. has really oc-
cupied what might be called the
bloody angle" of the battle line and
that It's losses have been appalling
1t is shown. by statistics repeated
from a statement made by Premier
Asquith that UP to June 15 the total
killed of the British army numbered
1927 officers and 47,ol5 men, a total OF
50,342, and 207.727 wounded.
The, claim Is made that these are
record losses in all warfare.

of Policeman W. W. McGregor. Of the
Tenth precinct, is at the Emergency
Hospital suffering from concussion of
the brain and other injuries as the re-
suit of being run down by an automo-
bile last night at Fourteenth street and
Spring road northwest.
Young McGregor, who lives with his
parents at 1850 Spring road. had just
alighted from a Fourteenth street car
when the automobile, which the police
say was operated by Robert L. Raw
lings, of 1897 Fourteenth street north
west, struck him.
Rawlings placed theinjured boy in his
ma chine and hastened with him to the
hospital. The police say the accident
was unavoidable.
Physicians attending young McGregor
today declared that the boy Is not suf-
fering from fracture of the skull as
was at first thought, and that his
chances for recovery are good:

No Mob Violence.

. Late yesterday Governor Stuart's sec
retary called up States Attorney Ennis
and asked II there was any danger OF
mob violence. but was assured that the
people were eminently satisfied with the
way the case had been handled In court
and that the tension had relaxed.
One circumstance that tended to ag-
gravate the talk Of mob violence was
that year ago a 'colored man was ar
rested on a charge of having attacked
a white girl, and was tried three times
in Bowling Green before a jury finally
agreed and sentenced him to twenty
years in the penitentisry.

the officials would have had a much

CAPITAL WOMEN'S
ASSA|LANTS TO DIE
Quick Justice Melted Out to Two
Negroes BY Little Town. Of
Bowling Green.

BOWLING GREEN. Va. July 1s.-
with two negroes in the Richmond jail
under sentence of death for one of the
most revolving crimes in the history Of
Caroline county, the little town OF
Bowling Green today again took up the
quiet trend of its existence which was
broken by the trial that concluded yes
terday afternoon.
The trial Of John Lewis Rollins and
his cousin, George Matthew. both color
ed, for the assault of Mrs. Burnley
Coleman and the attempted assault on
her daughter, Miss Eulalia Coleman, of
Washington. was one of the most rapid
in the history of Virginia criminal pro-
cedure. The case was called shortly
before noon yesterday and by 5 o'clock
the prisoners were on their way to
Richmond in charge of Sheriff T. B.
Gill.
Rollins entered a plea of guilty to
the charge of attempted assault and
was given the extreme penalty by Judge
r. H. L. Chichester after Matthew had
been found guilty Of assault by a jury.
The men were sentenced to die in the
electric chair August 90

Only Three Witnesses.

But three witnesses were heard in the
trial Of Matthew. the first being Rollins,
lis companion in crime; the second. Mrs
| Coleman, and the third Matthew him
self. who admitted substantially the con-
| tentions Of the State, but took Issue with
Rollins on several minor details.
States Attorney w. Z. Ennis was
| anxious to have Rollins tell his story
while he was In the mood for confess
sion, and accordingly the trial was
started as soon as the grand jury re-
turned the indictments against the two
men. which was shortly before noon.
| AS soon as Rollins had testified which
| took thirty minutes, adjournment was
| taken for lunch. and Immediately after
lunch Mrs. Coleman took the stand.
| The spectators were excluded from the
court room while Mrs. Coleman gave
her testimony against Matthew. II was
not necessary for Miss Coleman to take
| the stand, as Rollins. who was her as
sailant. confessed and threw himself on
| the mercy Of the court Mrs. Coleman
| was entirely composed on the stand.
Her daughter did not appear in court.
| Each OF the defendants, when asked
| by Judge Chichester II they had any
| thing to say as to why sentence should
| not be passed against them, responded
by saying the other had gotten him into
| the difficulty and made the first sug-
gestion to commit the crime. The court
pointed out that such a defense, even

| Each defendant also accused. the other
| OF putting the ladder up to the second
| story window. through which they en-
| tered the house, and of throwing the
bricks through the windows during their
| attempt to re-enter. but outside Of these
differences their stories were essen
| TALLY the same.
| A. crowd of more than 200 persons
| hlled the courtroom. which is in the
| Caroline county courthouse. built more
| than a century ago. The Judge warned
| them that any demonstration on the
| announcement of the verdict would re-
| suit In the room being cleared at once
| and when the pronouncement finding
| Matthew guilty and fixing his punish
| ment at death was read there was only
an almost inaudibe murmur of assent.
| The two prisoners received the ver-
| dict with no outward show OF emotion
| other than nervousness. They were
| Immediately put in an automobile and
| hurried to the railroad station at Mil
| ford, four miles distant.
| In all, five men were arrested in con-
| nection with the outrage. but three OF
| them were released after Rollins made
his confession
