(By Associated Press)
Washington, Feb. 12-Within a few
days the government will find a way
by which the American merchant yes
sells now held in port by fear Of the
German submarines may arm them
selves and resume their sailings, it
was intimated strongly by officials to-
day. This will be accomplished by
private means. The government will
not supply guns nor gunners direct,
nor even formally advise their arm
ing.
officials today were still inclined to
regard the latest offer of Germany to
discuss means Of preventing war, pre-
sented through the Swiss minister
Saturday, as only an effort to cast on
the United States the appearance Of
being belligerent. The official at
titude taken by this government is
that the United States and Germany
will have no diplomatic dealings until
Germanay gives up her program of
warfare and that any
other advances will only serve to be-
cloud the issue Of American rights.

GERARD Is IN
SWITZERLAND
Will Receive President Schulthess
and Herr Hoffman of the For.
eign Department Tomorrow.
by Associated Pressl


Zurich, Feb. 11-(Delayed) Most O.
the members of Ambassador Gerard.
party gave a sigh of relief this after
noon when the Swiss border was
reached, for the strain of the past
few days has told on a majority OF
the travellers. The ambassador de-
clined to speak for publication until
after he had reported to President
Wilson in Washington.
During the latter part of their stav
in Berlin the German newspapers
were flooded with reports of the seiz-
ure Of American ships and stories of
difficulties and indignities encounter
ed by Count Won Bernstorff. Ambas-
sador was refused permission to COM
municate in cipher with Washington
until the official message was received
through the Spanish minister. Prior
to this Gerard's telephone wires were
cut, and he was, in his own words. a
prisoner.

realed the case to the Supreme Court
and Mr.. Greene was released on 3d.

NO VERDICT YET
| IN LOVE TRIAL
Jury will Have Been Out Forty Eight
Hours at Five O'clock This Aft
ernoon-Judge Patient.

At four o'clock this afternoon tn,
jury in the case of DR.. S. F. Love
charged with the murder of J. s. Car
michael at Morgan City on Christina:
Eve, 1914, was still unagreed on 8
verdict,
The case was given to the jury just
before five o'clock Saturday afternoon
after two days spent in selecting a
jury, taking evidence and arguing the
case.
This case has been one of the hard
est fought legal battles on the rec
ords Of Leaore Circuit Court in re-
cent years. DR.. Love was tried at the
January term of court 1915, on the
same charge, the outcome being
mistrial..
1t is understood that Saturday
night the jury stood eight for con-
viction and four for acquittal.
The case was called Friday morn
ing when special venire of rs men
for jury duty were present. The en-
tire special venire was exhausted
in the effort to secure a jury and
many Of the regular jurors for the,
week were questioned. One of the
regular jurors is on the special jury.
1t was thought that Judge Everett
would dismiss this jury this morning
but upon his arrival here it soon be-
came evident that his intentions were
to get verdict in the case if possible
and interest in the final outcome was
keyed up to high pitch. Should the
Judge decide to keep the jury under
lock and key until verdict is finally
agreed upon it is probable the jury
will be out for several days.
Those composing the jury are:
Messrs. W. B. Crump, J. H. Wood
'uff, J. A. Western, \. G Antrim, W,
L. Gilbert, Leonard Scruggs, r. 7,
Wade, G. 3. Ditto, Ed. Jenes. Warner
Wells, J. L. Minor and s. F. Weedell,

reliminery trial and was brought to .
rial at the following term of Circuit 8

Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Railroads General
Superintendent Makes Surprise Announce
ment at Business League Today.

The Illinois Central Railroad is
build a new depot at Greenwood t
cost approximately $4,000. This an
nouncement will come as a genuin
surprise to a majority of the peopl,
of Greenwood, as it did to the mem
bers of the Business League thi
morning, when the announcement wa!
made by Col. A. H. Egan, Genera
Superintendent Of the Yazoo and Mis-.
sissippi Valley railroad, with head.
quarters in Memphis.
The directors and members of the
Business League were invited to be
present at meeting this morning al
ten o'clock to hear what Col. Egan
had to say, the most Of those assem-
blying being under the impression
that the meeting was in regard to a
grass plot or something of like ma
ture at the present station.
COL Egan explained in the very be-
ginning that the action of his road in
deciding to build this new station was
not due in any particular to the re-
cent petition circulated for union
depot or to the contemplation ask
ing that such a station not be built.
He declared that the road has had in
mind for some time the erection Of
better facilities for passenger service
at Greenwood and that the plans for
the new station have been underway
for several months. Actual work on
the new building will be begun with
in the next sixty days.
The new station will be built of
brick and tile and will have tile floors.
It will be finished in the most mod
ern style and will have every conven-
ience. The building will be steam
heated and will be entirely independ-
ent of the freight station.
Elaborate waiting .roems for the
white passengers will he furnished, I
with private retiring room for the
ladies' and smoking roem for the
men. Adequate accommodations for .
The colored race also being supplied. !
The new building will occupy part
If the site now occupied by the press
mt station. The erection Of the new
'tation will necessitate the removal Of
he furniture warehouse at the south-
I'm end Of the present freight depot
The daily commonwealth. (Greenwood, Leflore Co., Miss.) 1916-1919, 1917-02-12

and the Greenwood Grocery Com
pany's warehouse just beyond. Tht
lease to the firms owning these two
buildings carry sixty day notice
clause. They are to be notified al
once and if the removal Of the build
ings takes the entire sixty days the
erection Of the new station cannot be
begun until then. If the buildings are
removed before the expiration of the
sixty days work on the new station
will begin at once.
Col. Egan stated that his road had
long been aware of the fact that
Greenwood had outgrown accomoda-
tions here and that the new station
was expected to accommodate the
passenger traffic for the next ten
years.
When completed the new station
will be one of the most modern and
convenient stations in the entire state
and the finest on the I. c. lines south
Of Memphis. 1t was pointed out by
the party that the station would be
large enough to serve a town of 25,-
900 inhabitants.
The new station will be over 200
feet long from end to end of the um-
brella shed, the building proper being
over $50 feet long. 1t will be so ar
ranged that passengers can alight
from their vehicles under the shed at
the northern end of the station build
ing and reach any room in the build
ing or board the trains without gett-
ing out in the weather, a decided i'm
provement over the present plan.
Col. Egan was accompanied by
Messrs. ]. J. Pelly, superintendent, NJ.
V. Morgan, district engineer, and ]. L.
Downes, road master. .
