counter with a German submarine.
They travelled about sixty miles on
the deck of the submarine.
A mess boy Of the Leelanaw re-
manned aboard the submarine at his

the Leelanaw's mess boys was found
to be a German and was detained.

The thirty-two members of thu
crew explained that the German com

of sinking the ship, but said it wa.
forced upon him by the fact tina
the Leelanaw was carrying contra

Great Britain Shows Big

Near Germany.
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, July ga defense of
the right of belligerents to blockade
neutral port through which the en-
envy is receiving supplies or attempt
ing to market his products, is the
chief argument in the supplemental
note Great Britain is sending in reply
to the American protest against the
enforcement Of the "order in council.
The original note already received is
being withheld from publication here
at the request of Great Britain, pend
ing the arrival of the second note,
which is expected this week.
The British government will regard
all other than that of blockade of neu-
trail ports as subsidiary and proper
for discussion later. Civil war prece-
dents established by the United States
of the right of blockading neutral
ports viii form the chief basis OF
British argument. The supplementary
note also viii call attention to the
greatly enlarged United States trade
with neutral governments of Europe
adjoining Germany since the war.

COTTON RATES
TO MOBILE ARE
TO Be CHANGED
Carriers Serving That Port
Ordered to Readjust Their
Respective Charges.
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, July 28.-Readjust-
ment of the rates on export cotton
from several states in the south to
Mobile, Alabama, so that they viii
be upon basis that is not discrimi-
natory in favor of Savannah, Ca,
against Mobile, and many changes in
the practices of the railroads serving
Mobile in relation to rates on export
cotton, are contained in a order of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
on the complaint of the Mobile Cham
Der of Commerce against the car
riers serving that city.
The commission handed down a de-
cision in this case last November and
suggested that the railroads meet its
terms by April 1, 1915. Failure of
the carriers to carry out this sugges-
ton is responsible for the order which
will be issued in few days. It is
said to direct the roads to comply
with the terms of the decision.
All the carriers serving Alabama,
Tennessee, Georgia, Mississippi and
the Carolinas were interested in the
complaint The reasonableness of the
cotton export rates was attacked.
The decision does not hold them
unreasonable but condemns many Of
the practices of the carriers N max

Decision Means the Last
Chance of Becker Has
Vanished.
DIES TOMORROW IN
THE ELECTRIC CHAIR
Becker Is Preparing State
ment to be Made Public
After His Death.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

New York, July 28.-Justice Ford
of the state supreme court tonight
refused a new trial to Charles Beck
er, convicted of instigating the MUIR
der of Herman Rosenthal. The de-
cision means that Becker must be
electrocuted Friday, all other means
of escaping the chair having been
tried unsuccessfully.
None of Becker's counsel were pres
ent when Judge Ford announced the
refusal Of Becker's application. Only
newspaper men, the Justices brother
and clerk were present. Mrs. Beck
er was said to be visiting her hus-
band at that moment.
After saying the evidence by which
the new trial was sought was INSULT
Gent, the justice said in conclusion:
"As / studied the authority and
examined the affidavits the conviction
was great upon me that q new trial
could not be granted without disre-
gardina the law and attempting t.
usurp the functions of another de-
partment of the government"
He also said that Becker's state.
ment did not even contend it con
tanned new evidence and therefore
must be disregarded.
Becker is IN the death house at Sne
Sing, was said to be preparing a new
statement to be made public onl.
after his death. It was said tha'
this was a reassertion Of his limo

CARS MEN EMPLOY

Seem To Have Brought the

81 AssocIATEp PRESS.

London, July 28.-Although the
Germans are using strong reinforce
ments, they have not yet beaten
down the Russian resistance, either
around Warsaw or in Kovna and
Courland Provinces, in each of which
places fighting has ragged for fort
night. Around Warsaw the Russians
have hurled themselves on the Ger
man lines in a series of counter at
tacks which halted the German adj
vance.
Won Hindenburg's troops who have
been pressing the Russians along the
sixty mile Narew Sector and the
troops of the Austrian grandduke in
southwest Poland have felt the force
of the Russian onslaughts. Berlin
and Vienna declare the Russian often
sive has been put down, but they do
not deny that the Austro-G Germans
hare xaads only Fligl3t progress, Il
any. If Won Mackensen is making
any advance in the southeastern Sec
tor or the great Polish line, nothing
concerning it has been permitted ia
become known. Berlin states the sit
uation of the German troops in this
section is virtually unchanged.
Except for encounters in Alsace
where both the French and Germans
claim small gains, and northwest OF
Souchez, where trench fighting has
been going on, there is relative calm
in the west.
A furious battle which has ragged
[ for days in the Gorilla theater Of
the Austro-Italian campaign has
ended in the complete failure of the
Italians to attain their objective, &C.
cording to Vienna. Vienna also de-
clares the Austrians are holding theil
own against the Italian attacks along
the entire Sonzo front.
