l|pSCOMB CASE GOES
TO JURY FOR VERDICT

The jury in the case of the estate
of Charles Lipscomb against the
Standard Oil company for $4,000 had
not returned verdict this afternoon
after being out more than five hours.
Judge Fox charged the jury this
morning at 9 o'clock and the jury took
the case at $3.50 o'clock. having heard
arguments yesterday afternoon. The
action of the jury is matter of more
speculation than many previous dam
age suits have caused. the legal points
involved being of unusual interest to
attorneys and the element of the
death OF the young man leaving fam
lily penniless creating interest with
others.

BY CAMBRIDGE
Tommy Ritter Resigns as I.
S. L. PreSident-Dr. r. E.
Leslie Succeeds to Head of
Directors.

Cambridge City's protest over the
game with New Castle last Sunday
was yesterday allowed by the unani-
nous vote of the board Of directors.
The protest was based on the follow.
ing play: With men on first and
third the runner on first base was
touched out by our coacher. The UNI.
pire Immediately declared him out
There was absolutely no reason for
this for the Spalding Baseball Guide
for 1915 states that a decision such
as this can only be made on a base
runner at third base.
Carl Baumgartner. captain of the
Cambridge team presented this pro
test, which was one of three or four
presented, all of which were based on
various decision of the game.
Immediately following the vote
Tommy Ritter, president of the I. S
L., rendered his resignation TO the
league in such a manner that it was
impossible for the league not to re-
lease him from his exalted position
Tommy, it will be remembered, at the
formation of the league agreed to take
the presidency. only after he had AZ
planned to his electors that as he was
acting as manager of one of the teams
in the organization, that 1t would not
appear just right to head the league
and furthermore stated at that time
that the time would come when he
would have to give up one of his po
sitions. His resignation was accepted
Elect Or. Leslie.
DR.. r. E. Leslie, baseball fan Of
Cambridge City, was ffsred the po
sition as head of the league, and after
much persuasion finally consented tt
act in this capacity. Leslie is close
student Of the game, and it is believed
he will make as good a man for the
Job as could be found.
The protested game will be played
of at the end of the season, to be
the first Sunday possible. unless the
game is necessary to decide the cham
pionship, in which case the booking
would take precedence over all othel
bookings.
Three of the teams were represent
ed by proxies. the Perkins-Campbells
Rushville and Richmond. Good crowds
were reported as attending the open
games, and every manager believer
that with the class Of ball shown las
Sunday will do more than anything
else to make the league a success.

congratulations at every turn. The
jury's acquittal came on the third bal
lot after 1t had been out forty-hve

Troops of Italy.

ROME, June 1O.-The Italian army
which Is maneuvering to attack Trent
from the northeast, has defeated an
Austrian column near Cortina dam
pezzo and is now nearing the Austrian
mountain fortress defending Falzarego
pass, east of Cortina. The Austrian
position at Preikopel has been taken
and an Austrian guard and some ar
tillery were captured.
Refugees from Trent state that the
civilian population has been ordered to
leave for fear the Italians will bonn
bard the city. Most of the public
buildings in Trent have been turned
into hospitals and fly the Red Cross
flag for protection from the Italian
prisoner in his palace. It is reported
that the Austrian authorities are con-
sidering the evacuation of the city.
Manyl of the wounded Austrians at
Trent are being sent to Innsbruck.
Official Statement.
Furious fighting is still in progress
along the Isonzo river. The following
official statement relative to the oper-
atom of the Italian armies of invas-

day: ae.....

American Note Not an Uhi.
matum but Permits no Ex.
tended Parley Over Non.
essential Matters.
DEMANDS ARE FIRM
Bryan Sees Note at Wilson's
Request, but White House
Officials Refuse to Discuss
Contents.

WASHINGTON. June 10.-The sec
ond American note to Germany. which
caused schism in the Wilson cabi.
net and brought about the resignation
of its premier, today WAS being hur-
ried to Berlin. and upon the reply Of
the German government will depend
largely the peace of the United States.
The note to Germany is not an ulti.
matum, 1t was learned from q high
official source today.
The note was submitted to former
Secretary OF State Bryan yesterday as
q courtesy. He scanned 1t Just before
1t was signed by Secretary Lansing.
1t was President Wilson's personal de-
sire to have Mr.. Bryan see the note
before 1t was sent. White house Of
ficials today declined to discuss the
contents, nor would they comment on
the report that a note is going to
Great Britain shortly on the interfer-
ence with American commerce, which
has been a feature Of British marine
policy.
No Hallway Ground.
It is realized that the Wilson note,
while friendly In tone. permits no ex-
tended parley. The firm demands Of
this government for freedom of the
seas must be met by concessions of
the kaiser's government or by an
equally firm refusal. There il believ.
ed to be no halfway ground.
1t is planned that the note shall be
given to the American public tomor-
row morning. Meanwhile the presi-
dent and his close advisers discourage
speculation as to its language. but the
Bryan resignation and the startling
developments Of the last two days
furnish q fair index to the character
of the American reply.
That the president and the remain
der Of his cabinet have definitely dis
couraged In this note all German
thought of arbitration and longdrawn-
out discussion over comparatively non.
essential facts, it is apparent to the
trained observer In Washington.
Diseards Bryan Views.
The Bryan resignation has made II
plain that the note does not assume
that it is incumbent upon this govern
ment to warn it's citizens to stay off
Of vessels which are due to pass
through the so-called war zone" pre-.
scribed by Germany.
Rather will this government assume,
it is expected, that the duty OF Ger
many is to guarantee the safe pass
age Of neutrals aboard unarmed YES
sells, and that If Germany deems It
necessary in its warfare to seize YES
sells believed to carry ammunition. or
to torpedo such vessels. there shall
be ample warning and protection af-
forded innocent passengers aboard
these vessels.

All Agree His Resignation
Will Not Change Anti-Ger-
man Attitude of Govern
ment Officials.
SOME DELAY JUDGMENT
Koelnische Zeitung Believes
People Will Pray for Peace
But Still Send Arms to
Allies.

BERLIN, June 10-Sharp criticism
OF the United States government Is
made by Germans newspapers In their
comment upon the resignation OF Sec
retary of State Bryan.
perhaps the attitude of America
will become less English though sure
ly not German nor German-American,
but we hope purely American" says
the Vossische Zeitung. "It is likely
there was an agreement between
President Wilson and Secretary Bryan
concerning the tone Of the contents OF
the Germany note, but when Presi-
dent Wilson expressed the wish to use
the same tone toward England there
was opposition"
This newspaper, as we'll as other In
fluential German organs assumes that
It was Secretary Bryan and not Presi-
dent Wilson who favored sharpness
toward Germany.
Uses Sarcastic Fling.
The Koemische Volks Zeitung
adopts a sarcastic tone saying
After the fall Of Secretary Bryan.
American will continue to pray public
ly for peace, but will also continue to
dispatch arms and ammunition to our
enemies and thus do all they may to
prolong the war. In this respect there
will be no change at ALL
The paper attributes Mr.. Bryan's
resixnation to cards sent to him by
German-Americans asking him to
leave the cabinet for 1.-The good OF the
country.
Tasebiatt's View.
The Berliner Tageblatt says:
1T is no longer secret that the
pacifiest Bryan did not number him
self among those who would have
broken off diplomatic negotiations, al
though, he, owing to the Lusitania at
fair, was undoubtedly not favorable to
Germany and often more unfavorable
than President Wilson"
Some OF the newspapers adopted
conservative tone, reserving comment
until further facts are obtainahle from
Washington.
The Overseas News Bureau which
was founded by the German govern
ment at thine outbreak Of the war.
gave out the following:
In official circles no belief Is at
tributed to reports from British
sources that the American rejoinder
to the German reply is sort OF ulti-
matum to Germany"
