MORE VESSELS

LONDON, Aug. 20.-Three more
British steamers were destroyed today
by German submarines, but no loss Of
life occurred. The steamers sunk
were the Baron Erskine, 5,5s5 tons;
the Rostermel, 2,118 tons and the New
York City.
The Baron Erskine was built in

The announcement of the sinking
of these steamers said that their crews
were saved. 1t Is believed they were
sunk off the south coast of Ireland,
possibly by the same submarine that
destroyed the Arabic.
Another neutral steamer was listed
as submarine victim when 1t was an
nounced that the Norwegian steamer
Sverresborg, 1,150 tons, had been
sunk. 49,. ....
The Spanish steamer Pena Castillo,

Jury Returns Verdict in

Fox Abruptly Ends Case
Thursday.
EVIDENCE IS WEAK
Magistrate Refuses to Send
Blackburn to Penitentiary
as Example for Law Viola
tors.

II do not propose to send a man to
the penitentiary for the example it
would have on other law violaters," )"
said Judge Henry c. Fox in giving in.
structions to the jury in the Perry
Blackburn manslaughter case. "The
evidence in this case does not show
that the man Is guilty of the charge of
Involuntary manslaughter, and !
therefore instruct the jury to return
q verdict of not guilty"
The jury complied with the request
Of the judge. and within three minutes
Perry Blackburn, who was charged
with involuntary manslaughter in kill
ing Ernest Nordsieck, the aged sexton
Of Lutherania, was freed from the
charge. The judge stated in open
court that even if the jury should re-
turn verdict OF guilty he would have
to set 1t aside, because he did not feel
that the evidence warranted convic-
tion.

It was expected that the trial. which
had been going on for the last two
days, would not be completed until

City Takes First Step To-
ward Relieving Congestion
by Asking Opinion of
Bridge Contractors.
HOLDS BACK
Refuses to Make Repairs
Doran Bridge Too Weak to
Handle Heavy Interurban
Traffic.

Although it has been a week since
the board of works declared the Main
street bridge unsafe for traffic and
ordered it closed, the first definite &C.
tion, looking toward the restoration
of traffic across the river at Main
street, was taken today at meeting,
which had been called by the board of
public works.
! Upon the suggestion of Wilfred Jes.
sup, counsel for some local jobbing
concerns, who acted as chairman of
the meeting, the board adopted a mo-
tion that the Toledo Bridge and Con-
struction company, successors to the
company which constructed the
bridge, be asked to send engineers to
the city to inspect the bridge to as.
certain whether it could be repaired
SO that it could be used for a reason.
able length of time.
Makes Suggestions.
III it would have been one of our
own bridges" remarked G. K. Jeffer-
les, general superintedent of the
T. H. I. & e. traction company, 1--WE
would have taken this action the day
the bridge was condemned and closed.
AS Mr., Jessup has pointed out, there
are only two things to be done, either
repair the structure SO that it can be
used again for a reasonable length
of time, or build. an entirely new
bridge. II the bridge can be prop
erly repaired this should be done in
preference to building new struc-
ture, on the grounds of economy"
Engineers Of the Toledo company
are expected to arrive In the city the
first of next week to make thorough
examination of the Main street bridge.
Complications in carrying out any
plan for the repairing of the bridge.
il it can be satisfactorily repaired, are
foreseen, however, because of the at
titude Jefferies has assumed toward
such a project. The traction COM
pany will not contribute a penny to-
ward the expense of repairing the
bridge. He did not make this state
ment to the city and county officials
who attended the meeting, but he de-
clared himself emphatically on this
point when questioned by reporter
after the meeting.
Hold Franchise Right.
I'VE have a franchise right to use
the bridge and, being part Of pub
lie street, the city Is obligated to keep
the structure in repair, SO the com.
pany cannot be expected to contribute
to the expense of such repairs" Mr..
Jefferies said
Mr.. Jessup, in addressing the meet
ing, said II the bridge could be repair
ed, and he was confident it could be,
at an expense not to exceed SIS, 900,
he thought 1t would be fair for the
company to contribute q
share Of the expense. as 1t
