terday Afternoon.
BENNINGTON, April 3. - Ernest
Elwen, 80, Of this town, evidently the
victim of q runaway accident, died
alone in the highway short distance
east of the New York state line some
time yesterday afternoon, bleeding to
death from a wound which severed one
of the large veins in his neck. His
body was found about O'Clock and
brought to this village.
The details of the accident will
probably never be known as Elwell,
who was returning alone from New
York state, was found dead in the
highway with a ragged cut across his
neck, in fact with his throat cut.
From an examination of the wound
and of the wagon, it is apparent that
the horse became frightened and that
Elwell fell or was thrown upon the
dash board in such a manner as to cut
his throat.
From the man s position in the road
it is believed that he fell almost imme-
diately from the wagon after striking
the dash board as the pool of blood
beside the body indicated that death
must have occurred at that point rath
er than in the vehicle.

Prinz EiteI Friedrich today had her first
opportunity to dash out to sea since she
took refuge in the neutral waters Of
Hampton Roads three weeks ago, although
it still remained a question whether she
would accept the opportunity or intern.
A curtain was drawn between the out
side world and the theatre of possible
operations, for the storm had stripped
down telephone and telegraph wires until
Newport News, Norfolk and the Virginia
capes were entirely cut off from com

neutrality the navy department drew the
curtain tight.

cruiser has been lying at her wharf a
day by day mystery, leaving unanswered
questions as to whether her captain
would intern or attempt to dash through
the allied cruisers which have lowered

who commuted the death sentence of
Leo M. Frank TO one of life imprison-
ment, issued today statement con-
demning an address delivered last

case football of politics.
Commenting on Mr. Woodward $
statement that three -fourths of the
people of Georgia believed Frank
guilty and are condoning the lynching,
Mr.. Slaton said:
lynching naturally resulted in subse-
quent lawlessness. In one breath he
proposed to defend the fair name of
Atlanta and Georgia, and in the next
breath he cast on them the most ter
rible odium and condemnation.
.'Mavor Woodward suggested could
not with safety return to Georgia with

Il gross reflection on the state. but is
absurd and ridiculous and it is further
stimulativc of mob impulse coming
from an official who should stand in
favor OF law and order. 1t Is in accord

pect to utilize the Frank case for po-
litical prcfeIment and as an asset for

refusal to maintain the duly organized
institution of the state means anarchy.

LONDON WEIGHS
PEACE RUM0RS
American Visitors Confirm Re.
ports of Germany's Anxiety
-"No lndemnities In
Exhaustion"
BY FRANCIS W. HTRsT.
(Editor of "The Economist.")


London. Aug. 19.-Much interest at
taches here to an Amsterdam telegram
containing a Berlin report that the Ger
man government is anxious to make
peace. Private news from American
visitors to Germany confirms these re-
ports and produces the impression that
the war may not continue to the point
of utter exhaustion, out of which no
indemnities would be available for the
devastated countries.
Arrangements are believed to be
nearly complete with New York for
very large credits. which should steady
American exchange for considerable
time. Fortunately our gold supply is
rapidly growing, and further exports
appear to be quite feasible in the near
future should they be required.
The weakness of French francs and
large volume of imports from America.
and to the lack of gold to export. as
military conditions necessarily reduce
the eXportable surplus.
GerlnanN's growing debt and redund-
ant paper currency recently have had
little effect on her exchanges, because
she is unable to import freely and
therefore is compelled to do without
foreign luNurcs. comforts and probably
even some necessities AT preesnt in
spite of the mobilization of her labor
on the battle line. one can find enough
exports of coal. dye. chemicals. etc. to
pay for her small volume of imports.
There is some talk of a rise in the
bank rate. which might be followed by
a further raising of rates for treasury
bills and by dear money in London cal
culatcd to assist the financial arrange
ments of the allies. Petrograd rate fluc-
tuations are ascribed to speculative
maipulations.
Scandinavian trade shipping appears
to be very PROSPEROUS and all three
countries are buying back their own
securities from Germany at advantage
Gus prices
Discussion of the cotton question in
all respectable papers here continues
to be reasonable and friendly to neutral
interests.
