BRITAIN OFFICIALLY
REFUSES SAFE CONDUCT

Washington, Nov. 2s.-Great Brit
tain's notification that safe conduct
for Count Tarnowski, the new Aus
trian ambassador, would not be
granted was received today at the
State department. The reasons grven
are substantially the same as report
ed from London. The British note
will not be made public, Secretary
Lansing said.
Several courses are open to the I'm
tied States. 1t may present the re-
quest in its own name and it was
thought that while England might
have refused the request on the
ground that it came from an enemy
state, it would not refuse one directly
from this country.
There is the possibility that CounA
Tarnowski might start without safe
conduct and with the challenge to re-
move a diplomatic officer accredited
to the United States. The United
States holds the ambassador is pro-
tected by his diplomatic immunity and
any violation probably would involve
this country in dispute.

from the bench that if the defendant

second day of Watson's trial in fed
eral district court here today. Watson
also said "I1l answer to the district
attorney himself outside this room"
During this discussion which took
place when at request of the district
attorney the jury had been excluded
from the room, Watson charged that
his Indictment and trial on charges of
having sent obscene matter through
the mails was "most infamous per-
secution," and that he was "not sur

ashamed of himself" He also de-
clared the Roman Catholic churcn is

.OVERTON WILL
TAKE APPEAL
Attorneys For Condemned
Man Say They Will
Appeal Case.
BIZ ASSOCIATED PRESS,

Huntsville, Ala, Nov. 28.-A yer.
dict OF murder in the first degree was
returned against David B. Overton al
1880 this morning after the jury had
been out seventeen hours. The pris.
oner was sentenced to die January ~
He said he had nothing to say ex-
cept that he is not guilty. An appeal
will be taken by the defendants coun-
sci.
The conviction was a dramaJ.c e,f-
max to one of the most noted crini-
nal cases in Alabama's history in
volving the murder of a probate
judge and the suicides of a sheriff and
a prominent Huntsville attorney.
The case was given to the jury at
$3.50 p. m. yesterday and the verdict
returned at 11:30 o'clock this morn
ing. After celebrating until shortly
after 10 o'clock last night, the Jury
retired. The twelve men arose this
morning about 8.
Overton received the verdict calmly,
but when it was read a noticeable
expression of surprise was on his
face. In the courtroom was a large
congregation Of interested citizens
who all the morning had awaited the
jury's decision. Much speculation
prevailed last night and early today
as to the result, but the general feel
ing was that Overton's punishment
would not be as severe as that pre-
scribed by the jury. The Alabama law
provides for an alternative penalty
for first degree murder of death by
hanging or life Imprisonment.
Judge LAWYERS body was found in
a slough of the Tennessee river be-
meath the Whitesburg bridge, ten
miles from here the morning of June
II, after he had been missing from
his home three days. His body was
weighted down with piece of rail
road iron and contained severe
wounds on the head. A bullet wound
also was discovered. Shelby Pleas
ants, Huntsville attorney, and Sher-
iff Philips of Madison county. shot
and killed themselves three DAYS
apart the next week. They left word
they could not bear suspicion which
they believed was pointed to them in
connection with the killing.

knowledged that he shot and killed

Says Light Will Be In
stalled Soon AS Possible.
DELAY IN ORDER
OF CONTRACTORS
VIII Prevent Recurrence of
Accident to Steamer Penn
sylvania Grounding.

That a buoy will be established at
an early date on the sand spit oppo-
site the navy yard is shown in a let
ter received by C. E. Dobson from r.
r. weeat, assistant secretary Of the
Department of Commerce. at Wash
ington, which states that as soon as
the contractor can get the subcon
tractor to fill the orders, he light
will be established.
The application for the buoy was
made by Mr.. Dobson when the steam
er Pennsylvania, leaving the channel
ran on the unmarked spit. late one
night during the past summer. The
accident was attributed entirely IN
the fact that the only light by which
the pilot had to steer the course was
before the navy yard. 1t was impos-
slDle, 1t was stated, for the pilot tn
see this light owing to the presence
OF some small fishing craft a..chored
IN the channel, between the moving
steamer and the range light.
:. In an attempt to find the range
light, the big vessel left its course
and ran aground, whereas, 1T is
claimed, had the spit been marked
with a winking light the accident
would not have occurred.
Concluding, the letter says: at
may be further Stated that as soon as
the buoy is received by the local
inspector at New Orleans,
La, measures viii De taken for its
prompt establishment"
