Decide to Suspend Judgment (aqncerning Torpedoing of " U, s. Tanker.
CAN'T PROVE TWAS
 A GERMAN TORPEDO
Consul Stephens Cables Vessel Was Hit by German Torpedo, But the Phrase Is Deleted frCm Copy
 Given the Press.

Washington, May 3-President Will son. secretary Bryan and the inter- national lw experts of the sate de partment have decided to suspend judgment in the case of the United States tank steamer Gnlfligat. which was torpedoed off Scilly islands o1 Saturday with the death of Capt Alfred Gunter and two sailors.
 The president and Secretory Brya1 conferred tonight in the white house and it is understood the incident was gone into very thoroughly and t:le question of further action in case events show Germany to be responsi- ble was discussed.
 All that President Wilson had to- day in the way of official dispatches were two cablegrams from Consul Stephens in Plymouth. The first, re. ceived al 1:20 D. m., was as follows
 American frank steamer Gull flight, torpedoed off Scilly island first instant. Captain died heart failure Body landed. Two of crew drowned Thirty-four saved. Vessel afloat. Patrol beats attempting 10 tow her into Scilly."
 The second cablegram was re- csived at 3:30 p. m. It was as fol- lows:
 "Gulflight lowed into Crow sound by British patrol Torpedo struck by bow The vessel down by head Freeboard forward about three feet. Fcreboard filled with water. Cargo apparently undamag:d. Blowing gale southeast"
 In this dispatch the word German torpedo" appeared before they were edited out.
 One official said that if Germany were to deny it was a German tor pedo which struck the vessel, it would be next to impossible to meet the denial

SOnninO COnfers with King.

Rome, May 3-Ambassador von BueloW's messenger delivered note to the foreign minister, Baron Son. nino, this evening. The foreign min ister immediately paid second long visit to the king.
 Premier Salandra suddenly and un- expectedly called a meeting of the cabinet today. Immediately there after it was announced that owing to the international situation, the king and his ministers would not at tend the Quarto celebration"
 The gravest interpretation is plac- ed upon this abandonment of the trip to Quarto, where the king had prom ised to be present at the unveiling of monument to Garibaldi, and where, it was expected, Premier Salandra would make an important speech.
 It is generally believed tonight that negotiations with Austria are off. This belief is reflected in the commercial and industrial life of the city, which came virtually to standstill.
 Before the meeting of the cabinet the newspaper Messagero announced:
 During the last few hours the situation has undergone marked change. Baron Sonnino, before war is declared on Austria, will make an effort to end the conflagration. He will warn Germany that Italys in- tel'Sention will also mean the inter-

Gas Company Has Force At tempting to Repair Break
 in Inch Main.
HARDWARE MEN DO
 BIG DAYS BUSINESS
Great Demand for Stoves Yesterday When Supply of Natural Gas Fails. Pine Bluff Company Gniy Plant
 Prepared for Emergency.

Natural gas mains, extending from the oil fields of Louisiana to Pine 1 Bluff. Little Rock and a dozen ol more other critics and towns of the state, were broken Sunday, Sunday night and yesterday, and consumers of gas are now without supply.
 It was stated late yesterday even- ing by Manager C.. E. Bair of the Pine Bluff office of the company that not until Thursday or Friday will there be resumption of serv- ice.
 wo ten-inch mains, broken at the points where they cross the Sulphur i river in Southwest Arkansas, were the first 10 give way, being washed cut by the high waters due to the floods n the Red river country Early yesterday morning a big 18 inch main was washed away in the near Garland City.
 All records for high water and for damage by floods, have been broken the past few days in the Red river country of Southwest Arkansas, and because of the danger to the gas mains, unusually large forces of men have been on guard in that section, to prevent trouble and interference with the service, if possible.
 One of the ten-inch mains gxSe way Sunday about noon. Temporary repairs were made, but could not withstand the force of the water: The workmen confined their effort, then to saving the other ten-inch main, and to conserving the supply of gas. The gates in the broken main were closed. saving the gas.
 About midnight Sunday night the second ten-inch main gave way, leav- ing bur one main to serve virtually all the cities of the state with gas. All mills and factories using gas were notified, and all were cut off, that individual consumers might be supplied The 15-inch main, however, also was washed out, and no gas at all is new obtained in this state, un- less the Texarkana private mans are still holding.
 Working Toward Repairs.
 Efforts to make repairs and to re- sume service, under personal direc- tion of H. l.. Snyder of Little Rock, general superintendent for Arkansas of the company, are being centered on the big 15-inch main. because Of it's greater capacity and the Hkeli- hood that it will ba more easily main- tained.
 According to information which has reached here, the 15-inch main was washed away in the Red river bottoms. by flood waters which had come through break in the levee along the Red river. The water is not very deep there, although it has considerable current. The ground beneath the gas main was washed cut, which really caused the break by removing the support. It is be- lieved that by driving billings and filling it with earth in bags, the main +can be given a resting place where it will not be subjected to the force of the waters, and that the breaks can thus be repaid and the main made to hold.

 0N AT MINE0LA
Five Jurors Selected from Regular Panel-Accused
 Woman Not Perturbed.

Mineola, l.. l., May 3.-Five serious citizens of the little town of Nassau county were acccepted today out of a panel of 36 as jurymen in the second trial of Mrs. Florence Conklin Car man, the statuesque Freeport woman accused of the murder of Mrs. Louise Bailey on the evening of July 30, 1914.
 The remaining seven will be sought tomorrow in a new panel of 100 tales men, that includes millionares and men prominent in Long Island society.
 Alert and seemingly confident, Mrs. Carman directed the selection of jury men. She looks at least five years younger than she did on the dreary Saturday night last October when the first jury wrangled for 13 hours and then disagreed, ten for acquittal and ably stouter. The pallor and deep seams have left her face. At the end of the day, Mrs. Carman, whose bail has been surrendered, was taken back to Nassau county's nckle- platNa jail, where she will remain during her trial.
 .Dr. Carman was the accused Wo- mans only relative in court, and there was no crowd struggling Tor admission.
 William Bailey, husband of the murdered woman, sat in a secluded corner far away from the counsel table. With mi was his pernna counsel. Bailey and his lawyer are mysterious. They predict sensations
