Magistrate Byron +. WrigIey. found
guilty yesterday Of Involuntary man

toxicated. is confident he will be granted
a new trial and will continue in his
magiSterial role until the application
has been acted upon.
II feel certain the appeal Of my
lawyer will be granted" the magistrate
said this morning.
The trial which lasted three days.
was before Judge Davis, in Quarter
Sessions Court No. 3. Room 29G. City
Hall. The verdict of guilty was reached
after the jury had been locked up for
one hour and sixteen minutes.
The trial grew out of charges against
Wriglcy of having knocked down and
killed Mrs. Mary f.. Brady, I'D Spruce
street. She was struck by the magis
trate's auto on the night Of October 2S
and died in a hospital two days later.
The magistrate will not be sentenced

ment on the appeal will be heard next
Friday.
The maximum penalty for involun-
tary manSlaughter. or third degree
homicide. is two years imprisonment.
That for driving an automobile while
intoxicated is one year and fine of
not less than 500 and not more than
$500. Thus WriglCy is liable to n three
years prison sentence and a fine of
$500. If sentenced the law will auto =

COSTA R|CAN ARMY .
FIGHTS PANAMANS.
HostiIities Break Out Without
Any Formal Declaration
Of Warfare
MANY MEN VOLUNTEERING
BY the Associated Press

Panama. Feb. 26.-Hostilitics have
begun between Panaman and Costa
Rican forces in the vicinity of Coto'
on the Pacific end Of the frontier be
tween the two countries, II is said IN
unofficial advices received here. Ofhcial
confirmation of these reports, however
Is lacking. Formal declaration OF war
had not been made up until last nj ght.
More than 1000 men enrolled Tor
military service here Yesterday. Ke-
ports from other parts OF the republic
told of citizens volunteering for the
army. Two hundred men left this city
yesterday afternoon for the Costa
Rican frontier, and il IL believed the
Panaman forces near Coto or en- route
TO that place number about 800. These
consist of national police and volun =
tcers from Panama city and Chiriqui
province.
The base of Panaman operations Will
be in the small town Of progreso, near
Golfo de Dulcc. which is connected by
o narrow gauge railway with a small
port constructed by the Panama Sugar
Company. Tho town Of Progreso IS
also the property Of the same corpora
tion.
The Panama canal zone administra.
tion aud the United States legation her"
had not received instructions from
Washington last night. A conference
was to be held this afternoon between
President Porras. William Jennings
Price. United states minister. and
Colonel Jay j. Morrow. acting canal
governor, but it was postponed until
Monday.
Aside from the enthusiasm incident
to the volunteering of men for military
service chief interest in this city
centered today around the question Of
arms. 1t was generally believed the
United States Government held several
thousand rifeS for the PanGman Gov
crnment and it was supposed the vol
untecrS would be armed with them.
1t was learned at the United state.
legation, however. that some 100 rifles
taken over from the Punaman Govern
ment following the signing Of the Hay
Narilla treaty were returned. and moSt
of these guns were sold at public auc.
ton here in 1914. a large number were
shipped TO the Panaman consul in New
York for disposal in 1916.
While the president has been pro
cpcding under his constitutional powers
in moblizing the Panaman forces tn,
authority TO declare war rests with tn,
National Assembly, which has not a
yet acted. a general exodus Of COsti
Ricans from Panama is taking place
while many Panamans who are in COsti
Rica are trying to reach Panama.

GEDDES MEDIATOR
IN CABLE DISPUTE.
Attempts Pacifying Role in Con-
troversy Between United
States and Japan
INVOLVES ISLAND OF YAP
by the Associated Press

Washington. Feb. &c. 6.-1nstructions
are understood to have been received
by Sir Auckland Geddcs. the British
ambassador. to attempt the role Of me-
diator in the controversy between the
United States and Japan relative TO
Pacific cable communications.
This became known coincident with
resumption Of sessions of the confer.
enc which has for Its objective the dis @.
position of the former German cables.
The controversy between the United
States and Japan ccntrrS around the
future status of tn" Pacific island of
zap, the United States holding that
Yap. as an important center of com
nunicatiOns. should be international
and was included in the mandate grant e
ing her all former German possessions
in the Pacific north of tho equator.
Although American commissioners
to the conference have stated that the
various questions arising from the con
troversy between Japan and the United
States over the island have not yet
been divorced from the cable settle =
ment. it is understood that this prob =
lem will not be allowed to stand in the
way of any early settlement possible on
the ALLEGATION Of the cables. 1t is br =
lieved probable that. so far as the issue
of the island of NRp concerns the cable
settlement, it will be held in abeyance
by the American commissioners unit
the discussions proceeding between the
United States and the Council of tn,
League of Nations have been concluded
Prior to the adjournment of the con
fei icnce last December Japan and
France were holding out against set
tlement tentatively reached between
Great Britain. Italy and the United
