FRIDAY THE 18TH is
HOODOO DAY FOR 3
NEGROES EXECUTED.
By BRINKERHOFF

McAlester, April 13.-Friday, the
Thirteenth, was the ominous combina- l.
ton that hung over the heads of three
convicted murderers at the state peni-
tentiary here this morning, as they
were led. to the electric chair and in
quick succession made to pay the
penalties of their crimes.
Willie Williams, convicted of kill
ing a policeman at Muskogee, was
seated at 5:15 o'clock and 25 minutes
later the life of Chester Taylor had
been snuffed out. Taylor was con-
victed of wife murder. Charlie Young
was the third man to suffer the death
penalty. All three were negroes. Fifty
officials, newspapermen and guests
witnessed the triple execution.

RUM0R WON'T Die
Reported Peace Overtures Are
Styled "InfOrmaI FeeIers." =
Ii Bulgaria Breaks Away, Tur-
key Will Follow.

Washington. April 13.-"Informal
peace feelers." now being launched by
Austria and Bulgaria in
Switzerland are "doubtlessly'' to de-
termine what would be expected of
these countries if a formal peace move
was put forth, it was learned today.
While declaring that no word has
come from their home governments
for some time, officials attached to the
Bulgarian legation here today ad-
mitted that reports of peace moves
are probably true.
The present overtures, they believe
however, are wholly informal and de-
signed, for the time being, to ascer-
tain if possible what terms certain of
the central powers would have to
make before any formal move is made
One thing that gave strength to the
reports, these officials said, was the
fact that the ''rumors'' are now COM
ing from all quarters
In allied embassy quarters the peace
reports are attributed to discontented
classes who are wearying of the war
and trying to establish some basis for
peace
Belief was expressed in these circles
that if Bulgaria sues for separate
peace, Turkey will Immediately fol-
low suit

AUSTRIA BREAKS WITH BRAZIL
Envoy at Rio JaneirO Asks for
His Passports.
Public Further Infuriated by
Another Ship Sunk.

Rio Janeiro, April 13.-Foreign
Minister Rauro Muller has cabled the
Brazilian minister in Berlin asking
him to urge all Brazilians in Germany
to leave the country within twenty
four hours. A degree has been issued
withdrawing the eXequaturs of the
German consuls. The minister of
France and Great Britain and Italy
conferred at length with Doctor Null
Ter.
An official inspection of the Ger
man ships seized in Brazilian ports
show that important parts of the en-
gines are missing, rendering the YES
sells practically useless. Renewed
anti-German demonstrations occurred
last night.
Austria Sewers Relations.
Rio Janeiro, April 13.-The Aus
trian minister to Brazil today made
formal request for his passports, stat
ing his governments intention to sup
port it's ally, Germany, in the break
with Brazil.
There was no diminution apparent
in the war demands by the Brazilian
populace today, disorders reported at
several points indicating an increasing
irritation by the people because the
government delays declaration of
hostilities.
Sinking of a Brazilian steamship
named Grupy or Jacuhy was rumored
from several sources today, but could
not be confirmed.
Reported Spy Dies MysteriousIy.
Death of Thomas Rundres, reputed
to be a German spy, who has lately
been in the United States, caused a
sensational rumor today of poisoning.
Who had administered the poison was
not specified in the rumor.
A visit paid to Foreign Minister
Muller by the Dutch minister caused
a report that the envoy had shown
the government cable from his gov
ernment that all inhabitants had been
ordered to evacuate northern Holland.
presumably because of threat of
German invasion.
Dispatches from Sac Paulo today
reported serious outbreaks there in
anti-German demonstrations. A big
mob literally pulled to pieces a build
ing occupied by German newspaper.
No vessel named Grupy is listed in
Lloyd's, but there is a Jacuhy-a steel
steamer, of 1851 tons, owned by the
Commercial & Naviation company, and
registered at Rio de Janeiro.
Argentine Transport Sunk.
Boston, April 13.-The Argentine
transport Pampa, reported from
Buenos Aires to have been sunk by
German submarine was at this port
for several days in March. She
brought several Argentine naval Off
GERS who came to this country to study
naval architecture.
The Pama at that time was in COM
mand of Lieut.. Justine Riobo. The
Pampa paid a previous visit to Bos-
ton in 1914.
