NO TRACE OF MAN WHO
DISAPPEARED NOV. 10
Believed That Aged Charles Reed
Died of Exposure.

No trace has been found of
Charles M. Reed, the aged Blairs-
vile man who wandered from the
home of his daughter, Mrs. Mabel
K. Hill, of Mt. Jewett. Mr.. Reed 5
wife died in Blairsville a little
more than four years ago, since
which time he has desided with
his daughter in Mt. Jewett. He
wandered from the home Of Mrs.
Hill November 10, and although
a thorough search for him has
been made no trace Of his where
abOuts has been found. Mrs. Hill
says she still has hopes that her
father is living and well, and that
he will be found.
At the time of Mr.. Reed s disap-
pearance he carried a valuable
gold watch and it was feared for a
time that her had been a victim of
foul play. The weather was ex-
tremely cold and it is thought that
unless he secured shelter shortly
after leaving his daughters home.
death would result from exposure
to the bitter cold weather expert
enced at that time.

Clients Are Not Chemists

New York, March William
Keir, of counsel for Frank Abarno
and Carmine Carbone, accused of
placing bombs in st. Patrick s
Cathedral, intimated in court to-

tain explosives. In moving for per-

the analysis of the contents of the
bombs, the attorney said:
"Abarno doesn t know chlorate
OF potash from epson salts. Nei-

manufactured those bombs and
what they contain, probably sand
or some other inert stuff.

DIDN'T WANT TO LIVE
AFTER DEATH OF WIFE
aged nIan Starved Himself Fol
lowing Her Demise.

Clymer, March ia pathetic
case of the loyal devotion of an
aged couple came to light recently
IN the death of James White, Sr..
SO years old, which occurred at
the home of his daughter, Mrs.
Thomas Dixon, of Clymer. Mr.. and
Mrs. White had been living with
their son-in-law and daughter at
Clymer for some time. The couple
were deeply devoted to each other
and when Mrs. White died about
six weeks ago her husband was
heart-broken. He declared that he
had no further interest in life and
refused to eat. He declined rap
idly from the time of his wife s
death and followed her to the
great beyond a month later, after
having literally starved himself
as result of his intense grief. The
body of the aged man was taken
to Glen Ritchie, Clearfield county.

voted wife.

States government today by Gen.
Carranza in reply to his response
last night to the notice that Car
rama and Obregon would be held
personally responsible for the safe
ty of Americans and other for
eigners in Mexico City. 1t is un-
derstood to have emphasized the
importance Of keeping railway
communication between the capi-

The second communications was
dispatched as quickly after the
receipt Of Carranza s reply that
the impression prevailed in diplo-
matte quarters that the United

to make representations for tn:

Germany Expected
to Make Restitution
for Owners Of Frye
Voluntary Offer for Remuneration
and Apology for Destroying
American Ship Would Be Pro
per Amends to Government

Washington, March 11-Unless
the German government vOluntar-
lily offers to make restitution for
the destruction Of the American
ship Frye, sunk by the converted
cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich in
the south Atlantic, and expresses
regret for the occurrence, strong
protest will be made by the Unit
ed States with a request for repa-
ration.
No announcement concerning the
case will probably be made, it was
said by high officials, until after an
investigation Of all the facts had
been completed. President Will
son announced during the day that
a searching inquiry would be con-
Quoted.
Officials were unanimous in their
opinion-and itwas shared large
ly by diplomats, too-that the
commander of the Prinz Eitel had
no right to send the Frye to the
bottom. 1t was considered proba-
BILE by officials that the German
government, after being apprised
of the facts would admit the err
ror of the naval commander and
agree to make the usual repara-
tion. Some officials thought suf-
ficient amends, after the payment
of damages, would be the court
martialing Of the German officer.
Captured Crews Discharged.
lit was made clear at the state
department that whatever action
would be taken as the result of
the sinking of the Frye would be
entirely disassociated from ques-
tlons arising out Of the entry into
an American port of the Prinz Eli
tel desiring time for repairs. The
vessel could, therefore, depart,
leaving the question raised by the
destruction of the American ship
to be settled through diplomatic
channels.
Capt. Boy-Ed, naval attache of
German embassy, it was under
stood here, has gone to Newport
News from New York, to confer
with the captain Of the Prinz Eli
tel, and obtain a sworn statement
of the facts for the German gov
ernment.
Capt. Kishne Of the Frye has
been asked to keep the members
of his crew together, so that all
the testimony necessary for diplo-
matte correspondence may be
gathered. The captain probably
will come to Washington Satur-
day to confer with treasury and
state department and give a per-
Sonal statement of the circum-
stances surrounding the sinking
of his ship.
Maritime Rules Violated.
Examination of the precedentS
in international law revealed to
state department officials that ir-
respective of the provisions of the
Declaration of London, the status
of which is uncertain because it
was not generally ratified, the gen
eral rules of m&ritime practice
have prohibited the destruction of
q neutral vessel under the circum-
stances III which the Frye was
found in the south Atlantic by the
Prinz Eitel.
Many arguments have been
urged from time to time against
the destruction of neutral vessels
and when in doubt American ma
Tal commanders have been eau
toned always to dismiss the YES
sci. Before destruction in any
case the crew, passengers and pa
pers must be taken from the neu-
trail vessel on board the belligerent
ship,
