The acute weakness of rernittances to
Petrograd and Rome, rubles being
quoted at q. 05 and Tires at 6.ss, was at
tributed by dealers in foreign ex-
change to the inability or refusal OF
those countries to meet the require
ments of our bankers. The recent
sharp decline in Russian government
bonds on the curb also accounted for
the depreciation of the ruble-

ed at the opening of the market, the
only noteworthy alteration being in

WAS
GIVEN AMPLE
WARNING
BY j

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Feb. 5.-The
danger Of immediate warfare between
the United States and Germany over
the sinking of the American steamer
Housatonic was removed yesterday af'
ternoon when official information came
to the state department that neither
| American rights, nor the rules of in
ternational law had been violated in
the sinking.
American Consul Stephens, at Ply
mouth, Eng, cabled the state depart
ment that ample warning was given
the Housatonic by the German subma-
rine and that the submarine itself aid
ed in rescuing the 81 members that
comprised the crew.
With this information on hand, one
Of the highest officials of the depart
nent said:
"On the face of this information it
seems that immediate possibility of ac-
tual hostilities has been aveTted.

sells were carrying wheat-contraband,

United States probably will put In a
claim for damages on account of the
vessel, as in the Frye case. The cargo,

TOwed HOusatOnic Crew in Boats.
Not orly did the German submarine
commander warn the Housatonic, but
the submarine itself rescued the Amer
icaH crew and towed them in lifeboats
for ninety minutes, until sighting a
British patrol boat, Consul Stephens
reported.
Then the submarine notified the
Americans of the proximity of the pa
troll boat and disappeared.
This news served to relieve the i'm
mediate tension. as it had been re-
ported that the ship was unwarned,
causing the fear that this might have
been the overt act" which would have
forced the United States into actual
war.
Although outwardly calm and quiet,
he work of preparing the nation for
war went on ceaselessly in Washing
ton, both Sunday and today. The dip
lcmatic break with the imperial Ger
man government, followed closely the
sinking of the American steamer Hou-
satonic and vague rumors brought the
capital to a realization that the Unit
ed States was nearer to the verge OF
war than at any time since 1898.

KENTUCKY NEGROT
AGAIN CO ON TRIAL

MURRAY, KY. Feb. 5.-With the
trial of Lube Martin, negro scheduled
to begin here today, local authorities
were wondering whether the remarka-
BILE oratorical powers of Governor A.
o. Stanley would again be necessary
to keep him from being lynched.
Martin is charged with the murder
of Guthrie Duiguid, policeman.
When his trial came up January 10th,
Judge Charles Bush and Denny
Smith, commonwealth attorney agreed
that the feeling against the negro was
too inetnse for a trial at that time and
had the negro spirited away. The
crowd became a mob and throughout
the following threatened to dynamite
the hotel where Judge Bush and Smith
spent the night.
Governor Stanley rushed to Murray
on a special train, declaring that the
mob would have to attack the governor
OF Kentucky before it attacked Judge
Bush and Smith. He pleaded with the
mob and it finally dispersed. Special
precautions were taken to guard the
negro today.
