FLETCHER HAS
PLACED FLEET
FOR STRONGEST
COAST Defence

Newport, r. l., May 21-With the
Atlantic coast north of Cape Hatteras
still under mimic threat of attack by
hostile ships today. Admiral Fletcher
had deployed the Atlantic fleet to COW
er most of the important strategic
points of defence. Notable among the
maneuvers in the war game was the
use Of Cape Cod canal which cuts off
the 70-mile trip around the Cape and
affords access to Buzzards bay and
the important naval district of Mar
ragansett bay. Several submarines
were sighted off Cape Cod during the
day. presumably guarding the sea en-
trance of the canal against possible
approach by Rear Admiral Beatty's
fleet of supposed hostile.
1.-The submarine strength of the
fleet of defence has been definitely re-
duced by at least two. The E-2. with
a broken crankshaft was towed here
today by the tender Tallahassee, and
the XII is already repairing an en-
CINE. Another submarine is reported
under repairs at the Brooklyn navy
yard.

Mistake Claimed

Tonight, Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the
British ambassador issued a state
n'ent explaining that this was also his
understanding and suggesting that
there had been some mistake in tele-
graphic transmission or erroneous
impressions had been given British
officials in London by representatives
of the American cotton interests there.
The United States has never received
a reply to it's note Of March 80 in
which the British order in council
proclaiming an embargo on all neutral
commerce directly or indirectly with
Germany was declared to be a viola
ton Of international law. In view Of
the continued detentions of American
cargoes under the order in council,
note was prepared a week before the
Lusitania disaster occurred which is
to be sent to the Allies as soon as
further date on interference with Am
erican shipping can be secured. In
some official quarters there has been
a disposition to urge the dispatch Of
the note to Great Britain at this time
There was but brief discussion Of the
question today among cabinet officials

Thorough Preparation by
The Italians with Military

Udine, Italy, via Chiasso to Paris,
May 81, $40 p. M.-From the Alps
which are still covered with snow be-
tween fir forests, down to the sea,
where the grape vines for miles Of fes-
toons, the whole vast region has been
transformed into a huge military en-
campment. Everywhere are tents,
guns, carriages and flags and at all
points in this section there is the in
tense activity which marks a military
camp.
In the extended plains Of Friuli,
stretching along the sea, Italians en-
trenched along the frontier can see the
ruins Of Aquileia, a second Rome,
founded by the Romans in 1s1 B. c..
This city which was 20 miles in cir
cumferance and had 100000 inhabi-
tants, formed a bulwark against the
Celts and Isthrians. The Italian army
officers have great difficulty restraining
the soldiers from crossing the frontier

Tells of Conditions in
Colorado Fields

Washington, May 21.-Frequent
sharp clashes between John D. Rookie
Teller, Jr., and Chairman Walsh mark
ed today's session Of the Industrial
Relations Commission with Mr.. Rock
efeller again on the stand testifying
about conditions in the Colorado coal
fields. Although two members Of the
commission had protested against
what they regarded as the hostile at
titude Of the chairman, Mr.. Walsh
throughout the day put the witness
through a grilling examination, time
after time arousing him to express
sions of resentment.

Motion to Dismiss Riggs
Suit Is Under Amusement
After Weeks Argument!

Washington, May 21.-At the con-
clusion of five days of argument
Justice Mccoy Of the District Su.
preme Court took under advisement
today the motion of the government
to dismiss the suit brought by this
Riggs National Bank to enjoin Sec.
rotary McAdoo, comptroller of the
Currency Williams and Treasurer
Burke from alleged unlawful persecu-
ton of the bank.
Relief sought by the plaintiff pend
ing litigation was denied by the court
except as to the payment into the
treasury of $4,000 interest on bonds
due the bank and withheld to cover
penalties imposed by the comptroller
for failure to furnish certain report
A temporary restraining order against
the payment Of this money into the
treasury was granted at the outset of
the proceedings and the court later
will pass upon the question of con-
tinuing it.
Justice Mccoy indicated that he
would occupy some time considering
the case, but would endeavor to dis.
pose Of 1t before July l. In denying
the prayer for an injunction pending
litigation. he said that without con-
sidering what evidence might hereaf-
ter be presented, there was nothing in
the record before him now which
showed the government officials had
exercised arbitrary power or power
arbitrarily in regard to the refusal to
select the Riggs Bank as a reserve
agency.
1T seems to me on the record as it
stands that the government officials
would BE remiss in their duty in Sc
lecting it as an agent for new appli-
cant banks" said the justice. The
evidence here is Of persistent viola
lions Of the law and these violations
did not begin when Mr.. Williams
came into office and they have con-
tinued to this day."
The court also considered on the
record as now made up the charge
that Secretary McAdoo showed no
malice in an interview in his office
with Riggs bank officials. The JUS
tice said it appeared to him that the
malice was rather ION the other side.'

JURY DEADL0CKED
One Juror Holding Out for Defendant to Pay
Half Costs of Syracuse Trial

Syracuse. n. Y. May 21.-The jury
in the trial Of William Barnes suit
for libel against Theodore Roosevelt
was deadlocked tonight, after once
having returned a conditional verdict
in favor of the former President
which supreme court Justice Will
ms and Andrews refused to receive.
condition which made the verdict
improper that the thrilling court costs
and disbursements should be divided
between the two principals in the ac-
ton.
That the jury would be held over
until Monday, should it fail to find a
proper verdict by tomorrow was con-
sidered improbable by attorneys con-
necSad with the case. The juror an
nounced in substance that if the costs
were not evenly divided he returned
a verdict for the plaintiff. The ques-
ton of putting the costs on one Of the
parties had been under discussion for
10 hours.
Jury In Court
The jury was in court twice today.
Soon after Justice Andrews opened
court this morning he received a note
from the jurors informing him that
"A peculiar situation had arisen" and
asking that he confer with them in
the jury room. Justice Andrews had
the jury brought into court and in
formed them that anything he could
rightly do to aid them in reaching a
decision must be done in open court.
The jurors whispered among them
selves and then requested that they
be allowed to return to their room for
further elaboration. Nearly one hour
afterward word came from the jury
room that a decision had been reach
ed. Justice Andrews warned the
spectators that any demonstration
would be met with prompt punish
ment, and then the jury filed in.

Demands Rights

Mr.. Rockefeller demanded that he
be accorded rights given other wit
nesses, and firmly insisted that Chair
man Walsh was seeking to inject in
to his questions implication against
the Colorado Fuel & Iron Co., and its
officers. Some questions he declined
to answer, as improper and others he
characterized as useless.
Chairman Walsh was the sole ex-
aminer today, other members taking
no part in the questioning. Mr.
Rockefeller will be on the stand again
tomorrow. Before the session began
the commission held an executive
session at the instance of Commits
sioners Weinstock and Mrs. J. Bor-
den Hartman who frankly informed
Chairman Walsh that they believed
the attitude he assumed yesterday
toward Mr. Rockefeller had the ap-
pearance Of hostility.
Mr.. Walsh Explains
Mr.. Walsh said he had no intention
Of displaying hostility but that he
was unusually interested in affairs
connected with the Colorado strike
and naturally could not restrain a
tendency to conduct the examination
vigorously. He informed his col
leagues, moreover that he was deter
mined to conduct the examination as
he saw fit. Later, in the open hear
ing the chairman emphatically told
Mr.. Rockefeller he was running the
examination and did not propose to
be dictated to by the witness.
Mr.. Rockefeller arrived at the hear
ing room with a prepared statement
based on disclosure yesterday that one
