MAY GIVE UP HIS FIGHT
Intimated That One Defendant in
Mohr Case May Turn States
Evidence.

PROVIDENCE. r. l., January IL
The prosecution intimated today that
negotiations were in progress with the
hope that one of the two negroes. Cecil
B. Brown or Henry H. Spellman, on
trial with Mrs. Elizabeth Mohr for the
murder of DIR. c. F. Mohr last August.
would turn states evidence. 1t was in
dictated at the same time that Brown
would not be permitted to plead to a
lesser offense than murder.
Asked about rumors that were current,
Attorney General Rice said: Il will not
deny or affirm the report that one of the
negro defendants is to turn states evil
dence, because to talk about it would dis
close private interviews between counsel"
George II. Heals, the third negro
who was implicated in the case, has
already pleaded guilty to manslaughter
and will be put on the stand by the
state.
The morning session was taken up
largely with the testimony of wit
nesses concerning the movements of
the negro defendants on the day of
the murder.

Home Town.

From the Kansas City Star.
Home Town is around the bend on
the road to Yesterday. 1t is mellowed
by memories and painted with sun
shine. Among the inhabitants are the
fat boy called skinny" pigtailed
sweethearts who turn up their noses
and run away, the preacher who asks
after the health of every member of
the family by name, the schoolteacher
the gang and grandma, and the dog
Roses bloom there in gardens behind
the fence pa1ings along the street. Folk
walk leisurely and speak to each other
in passing. The church bells of Sun
day morn call youth and innocence to
come and sit in square pew with a
door to 1t and eat peppermint drops
and doze and sleep on the edge of a
starched collar. 1t has a "deepo," to
which go small boys to watch the
trains roll up grandly and snort and
although there are clustering DAYS
when the sleighbells jangle-"chink,

with incredible swiftness. the small
boys standing on the extended runners
in the rear and riding off to glory. The
seasons for doughnuts and marbles and

cookies and hoop-rolling and Hallow-

Yes Home Town is around the bend
on the road to Yesterday. 1t 10 well

who live in cities and apartments.

BERLIN DOUBTS IF CASE
OF LUSITANIA is ENDED
Expects Settlement Soon, But Has
No Advices From Count
Won Bernstorff.

BERLIN. via London, January H.
The German foreign Office believes that
any announcement regarding a final
settlement of the Lusitania case is
slightly premature. No report to this
effect has yet been received from Count
Won Bernstorff, the German amba ssa-
dor at Washington. On the contrary,
it is inferred here that negotiations
are still pending. but there is not the
slightest doubt expressed that a settle
ment will be reached and in the imme-
date future.
The Mediterranean problem is regard
ed here as absolutely settled, the Ger
man government, as already has been
stated in dispatches. regarding that
their submarines in this and other
areas that have not been proclaimed as
war zones are operating under all the
recognized rules of cruiser warfare"
these submarines differing from regu-
lar cruisers only in that they are trav-
cling under water instead of upon the
surface.
When the distinction between this
cruiser warfare and the reprisal OPP
eratlons in the war zone around the
British Isles is comprehended in Ger
many it is thought that this settlement
of the Mediterranean problem will be
'"H'comed and appreciated by all par
ties

Court has decided that the court has
jurisdiction to hear an ejectment suit
brought by Frank H. Walker and
Frank e. Smith. owners of property
adjacent to the government printing
Office. against Cornelius Ford, public
printer, and two of his assistants. The
plaintiffs claim the government is oc-
cupying four feet eleven inches OF land
along the G side of the building be-
longing to them, and that they have
been damaged to the extent of $4,000
by the alleged unlawful occupancy.
Through H. H. Classic, the defend
ants pleaded that Mr.. Walker mad
consented to the government laying
the foundations on the disputed land
and that the defendants merely acted
as agents of the United States govern
ment against which suit may only be
in the Court of Claims.
Attorney Reeves T. Strickland for
the plaintiffs contended that no law
gives immunity to private persons or
to officers or agents of the United
States to withhold the property of a
citizen even for public purposes. The
case will be placed on the trial calen-
dar.

RIOT APPEAL DISMISSED.
U. S. Supreme Court Refuses to Pass
on Jersey CitY's Liability.

The Supreme Court of the United States
today refused to review the decision of
the third United States court of appeals
in regard to the liability of Jersey City,
n. j., to the Wells Fargo & Co for
mob violence during the United States
Express Company strike in jersey City
in 1910.
The lower court allowed recovery of
$500 for damage by the mob to wagons
and stables, belonging to the Wells
Fargo Co, but refused to allow
recovery for damage to the company's
business and its right to use its wagons
and other tangible property. This decision
was based on the holding that the New
Jersey mob law provided for recovery
from il city of damages only to tangible
and not to intangible property.
