PRESIDENT ASKS HASTE

Long Branch. N. j., October 31.-Aft-
er receiving unofficial information that
six Americans had lost their lives by
the sinking of the British steamship
Marina, President Wilson communi-
Gated with Secretary Lansing tonight
and directed that all possible hate be
taken in obtaining the facts concerning
the sinking of the vessel.
Secretary Lansing informed the
President that in addition to the ask
ing the American embassy in London
for information, informal inquiries had
been sent to the German government.
While 1t was made clear here that no
action would be taken pending the col
lection of all the facts it was indicated
that the view was taken that the situa-
ton contained grave possibilities.
Secretary Lansing stated that he was
not in possession of the sufficient facts
on which t. yase judgment of the
case. While preliminary reports have
indicated that the Marina was sunk with
out warning. additional Information on
that point is desired.
When President Wilson left here to-
night he gave directions that he be kept
thoroughly in touch with the situation
during his trip to Buffalo and New York

Man Taken in Belfry of Ne

Murderer of Memphis

Columbus, Miss, October 31.-(Spe-
by horror at the sight
of man with whom she had fiercely
grappled in a vain attempt to prevent
his escape after having killed her land
lady, Maude Becker, an inmate of the
Raburn avenue resort in Memphis, in
which May Goodwin, a wealthy woman
of the underworld, was killed on the
night of October 8, today positively iden-
titled Haraloff Chelzceski, the man ar
rested in the belfry of local negro
church Sunday, as the slayer of the un-
fortunate woman.
Accompanied by AL Hurst. Memphis
detective, the Becker woman arrived
here early this morning, and went i'm
mediately to the county Jail. where
Chelzceski has been confined since his
arrest, and where she unhesitatingly
identified him as the man who killed her
companion in shame. a
That's him, that's the man." ex-
claimed the Becker woman. as she APP
is confined, and as she gazed at him
through the prison DafS she rested ner
head in her cupped hands, and her body
fairly shook with emotion.
Although Chelzceski has been posi-
lively identified as the man who killed
May Goodwin, he is still in Jail here,
and will not be permitted to return to
Memphis until satisfactory arrange
ment has been perfected with local Of
ficers regarding the reward offered for
his capture. These officers maintain
that the original reward was $500,
while Detective Hurst contends that it
was only $3.50, and has with him cir
cular which bears out this contention.
Columbus policemen who participated
in the capture of the murderer, insist,
however, that the larger amount was
offered in former circular, and de-
clare they will not turn Chelsceski
over to the Memphis authorities until
the full sum is either paid or guaran-
teed. With this end in view they will
request Governor Bilbo, who will be in
Columbus tomorrow, not to honor any
requsition which the governor of Ten
nessee may make fer the prisoner.

SELECTED TO TRY

Lawyers in Case Are Taking
Advantage of Every Tech

in Court

Nashville, Tenn, October 31.-Charles G.
Trabue, who shot and killed Harry 5.
Stokes, in the latter's office in the Ameri-
can National Bank building last March,

nal court, and when court adjourned this
afternoon at 4:30 o'clock nine jurors had

1t is believed the jury will be completed
and taking of evidence begun tomorrow

Seated with the attorneys for the state
was Mrs. Harry S. Stokes. She was
dressed in deep mourning. The wife of
the defendant sat at his side during the
day.
The courtroom was crowded throughout
the day. Judge Neil ordered the asles
cleared early in the morning. but in the
balcony many stood throughout the day
listening to the questioning of the venire-
men and watching with obvious interest
every movement In the trial of the case
that appears will be one of the hardest
fought legal battles in the history of
the county. M
Early in the day it was apparent that
neither side would overlook a point or
the advantage to be derived from any
technicality The state used two of the
six peremptory challenges allowed and
the defense six of the 10 to which 1T is
entitled.
Most of the veniremen had formed opin-
ions from the stories of the tragedy read
ir. the daily newspapers, though several
had formed opinions from having talked
to persons claiming to know the facts

when the hour of adjournment came We're

NeW Workers Are Paying
$3.50 Per Ton For Coal

New York, October S1.-Incdent with
the unprecedented increase in the price
of domestic coal to $3.50 ton here today,
retail merchants notified the public that
Limitation of deliveries to one ton to a Gus
toner would avert famine.
The soaring prices are due, retailers
and wholesalers agree, to the enormous
demands of manufacturing plants, which
are working either full time, overtime, or
double time, the shortage of unskiled
labor at the mines, the freight car short

that final accounts would show that the
steamer lost her immunity merchant
man by flight or by attempting coun-
ter attack. AS to the Rowanmore, which
admittedly sought desperately to escape,
there seemed to be but one point to clear
up--whether the submarine actually fired
upon boats leaving the ship, as alleged
by survivors.
Practically no information about either
case was given out during the day. Sec
rotary Lansing, who is handling the
situation publicly, declined to say any
thing further than the information still
was very incomplete. that some reports
had come from London during the day
and that the affidavits of survivors would
be cabled to the department as soon as
they could be taken.
DISCREPANCY IN REPORTS
So far as could be learned the depart
ment thus far has not cleared up the
discrepancy between Consul Frost's pro
visional' report yesterday that the
Marina had been sunk without warning
by gunfire and today's unofficial advices
from England quoting the consul and
others as saying the ship was torpedoed.
1t may be week or more before the
German reply is received, as the sub
marine or submarines, which made the
attacks probably would not return to their
bases and report before several days. No
serious action will be taken here pend

more cases today developed the fact that
the state department never has learned
what punishment was imposed by Ger
many upon the submarine commander who
sank the Sussex, although Ambassador
Gerard was instructed sometime ago to
make inquiries on the subject. A depart

subjects which would be taken up with

his vacation.
