NEW STEPS TAKEN TOWARD
ABSOLUTE TRADE EXCLUSION
WASHINGTON, April .3.—Press
dispatches from Berlin announcing
important am^ridir.ents to the Gor-
man prize rules were noted at lh-
Mate department Thursday with
some concerD.
While officials * 111 await the text
of these amendments before making
any statements for publication, ap-
prehension is expressed privately
that if the new rules are outlined
correctly in the dispatches they mark
a notable adduce by Germany to-
wards the absolute exclusion of
neutral commerce from the high
seas. This comes, it is pointed out,
just at the moment when all of the
neutral powers haTe been bringing
pressure to bear upon the allied
powers to abate the severity of the
blockade rules and prize laws a>
embodied in the recent British or-
der in council.
Difficulty in maintaining the right
of neutral nations to ship condi-
tional contraband to other neutral
powers as foreseen by officials as a
result of adoption as a German i r:ie
rule of the same provision as that in
the British orders in council r< -
girding goods consigned "to order"
over which there has been so much
discussion.
Officials are eTen more concerned
over the reported new German rule
that a ship with conditional contra-
band bound for a neutral port shall
be liable to capture and that the
conditional contraband may be con-
fiscated without regard to the con-
signee when the ship is (i3stined for
a neutral country from which the
nations at war with Germany obtain
conditional contraband articles.
Since submarines alone of the
German naval craft are able now to
navigate the open sea, it is sup-
posed that enforcements of this rule
would be accomplished by assertion
of right to destroy ships and cargo
on the plea of inability to take them
into port.
A reflection of the views of the
American government on this sub-
ject probably will appear in the note
to be addressed to Germany regard-
ing the American ship Wm. P. Frye.
sunk by the German cruiser Prinz
Eitel Friedrich.

ROME, via Paris, April 24.—A

It is impossible to confirm this re-

General opinion in Rome is that

NEW YORK. April 2 4.—The ques-
tion of sanity of Harry K. Thaw-
will be determined by a jury. Su-
preme Court Justice Hendricks, in
a decision handed down Friday,
granted the application for a trial
made by Thaw's attorneys on a writ
of habeas corpus.
The trial was set for May 17.
Thaw was in coprt when Justice
Hendricks announced his opinion.
His attortieys, friends and others
rushed to congratulate him and he
was kept busy for nearly an hour
shaking hands before he was taken
back to the Tombs.
"It will be good news to my
mother," he said.
The moot question which Justice
Hendricks had to decide was
whether the court had power to
grant a jury trial. He held, after
a study of the authorities, he did
have such power. He pointed out
in the decision that the jury was
called "to aid the court by their
advice," and that the finding of the
jury would not be binding if the
court were satisfied it was not in ac-
cordance with the evidence and with
justice.
The court, he said, could disre-
gard the jury's verdict and render
his own decision."
After reviewing the Thaw case,
the decision continued:
"Thaw is confined in a state hos-
pital for the insane as a precaution
for the public. The committment
can larl only so Ions as he is in-
sane and he had the right at any-
time under the law to have his
sanity determined upon habeas
corpus."

TRIESTE WOMEN FIGHT TO LIVE
ROME. April 24.—Trieste riots
are assuming a revolutionary char-

have proved useless, since hal'
starved citizens, especially worn
whose children ar" condemned
lingering death owing to lack jf
food, have been driven to des. air
and are practically fighting for their
existence. Crc.'.'ds of women, ac-
companied by children, stoned the

DIRECTS CITY THROUGH BAIIS.
LEAVENWORTH, Kan., April 24.
—For the first time in history, af-
fairs of a first city are being di-
rected by a mayor, who is a con-
vict, serving six years in the federal
prison at Leavenworth. A flood of
telegrams are being received and
dispatched daily by Mayor Donn M.
Roberts of Terre Haute, from his
prison cell. Appointments of of-
iicials. disposition of various funds,
business connected with park boards
and a dozen matters are being di-
rected by him.
"I don't think the appointment of
two more patrolmen necessary, and
would advise a strict retrenchment
policy." was the substance of one
telegram sent from the prison Wed-
nesday. Roberts and several others
still are hopeful they will get out
on bonds.
WASHINGTON, April 24.—Con-
sular dispatches received by the
Washington government from var-
ious points in Mexico indicate that
while temporarily disorganized by
the defeat sustained at Celaya, Gen-

factor in Mexico's civil war.
Officials at the state department

ceived from consuls in the territory

DAl'GHTER OF HI GO IS DEAI>.
PARIS, April 24.—Adele Hugo,
youngest daughter of Victor Hugo,
died Wednesday at her residence in
Suresnes, a suburb of this city, at
the age of 85 years.
The sad and tragic life story of
Adele Hugo many years ago aroused
the sympathy of the world. As a
girl she was kidnaped at Guernsey
by an English officer. All Europe
was searched for her but her par-
ents obtained no trace of her where-
abouts.
Several months later a girl found
wandering alone in the streets of
New York apparently demented, de-
clared "1 am the daughter of Victor
Hugo." This was the only state-
ment she ever made.

LIBERTY OF PRESS
ONE Of ESSENTIALS
BALTIMORE, April 26—Publicity
is as essential to honest administra-
tion of the government as freedom
of speech is to representative gov-
ernment, Secretary of State Bryan
told members of the City Club Sat-
urday.
Secretary Bryan spoke on "rules
for the voter," but he also dis-
cussed the duty of every citizen
which, he said, was "to exert him-
self to the utmost to reform every
abuse of government, every evil
in government, remembering that
abuses and evils are more easily
corrected in their beginning than
when they have become fully es-
tablished "
Secretary Bryan referred to Lin-
coln's Gettysburg speech, appealing
to his countrymen to consecrate
themselves to the unfinished task
that lay before them that a "gov-
ernment of the people, by the peo-
ple and for the people shall not
perish from the earth."
"That task." the secretary said,
"still is unfinished and it Is the
duty of every citizen to study care-
fully the principles of government
as they arise and then give his
country the benefit of his judgment
and his conscience. To this end he
should not only express himself at
elections but faithfully attend pri-
maries and conventions where can-
didates are chostn and policies
enunciated."
MAY SETTLE THE
CHICAGO STRIKE
CHICAGO, April 23.—Progress
toward settlement of the labor war,
in which 16,000 carpenters are
locked out, was made Wednesday
when the carpenter contractors' as-
sociation agreed to meet the union
men and reopen their conferences.
L. A. Ashbeck, president of the con-
tractors, said a new committee to
m et the men would be named at
once, and further effort would be
made to settle the fight without the
aid of any third party.
The plan was agreed upon Wed-
nesday at a meeting of the con-
tractors committee to draw the
reply to be submitted to *he offer of
the state board of arbitration plac-
ing its services at the disposal of the
warring factions. The employers
ere agreed that the settlement
must be leached without the as-
sistance of the state board.
WILSON WILL NOT

WASHINGTON, April 23 —It was
announced at the White House last
night that President Wilson would

vitation was extended some time ago

SISTERS EVADE LUNACY TRIAL.
FORT SMITH, Ark., April 24.—
On the eve of their trial for lunacy,
Annia and Marjorite Perkins,
wealthy spinster sisters, disappeared
Thursday and when officers failed
to fnui them, the hearing was de-
layed. Fear was expressed that the
sisters might have committed sui-
cide. Despite their vast holdings of
land they lived in a hovel for many
years, spurning friends and neigh-
bors and refusing to pay taxes.
CHEROKEE CO. REPRESENTED.
i
Congressman W W. Hastings and
representative J. D. Cox are in Mus-
kogee this week as state delegates
from Cherokee county, appointed by
Governor Williams, to tho Southern
Commercial Congress.
Yesterday the Normal boys played
their fourth game of the season
when they met the Muskogee high
school, winning by the score of
2 to 1. It was one of the fastest
games ever played on the N. E. S. N.
diamond. Everybody asked every-
body as everybody filed from the
field after it was all over If any-
body ever saw the like before—two
teams more evenly matched and
making sensational plays In more
opportune moments. And everybody
promptly answered that he'd be
Earned if he ever did and he d be
darned if ever anybody else did.
The game was called at 3:30 and
about 300 wildly excited human be-
ings were waiting to see the game.
Both teams took their regular work-
out as usual just before a game
with every man 3howing "pep." By
the time the workout was brought
to a close there were about 500 root-
ers on the field and they began to
cheer heartily for the Normal.
Meanwhile the twirlers have been
warming up—Thorne for the Normal
and Briggs for Muskogee. This did
not take long and at 4 o'clock the
real trouble began for Muskogee.
Thorne steps into the box and the
game begins.
First inning opened and closed
with heavy hitting and clean fielding
by each team. This inning was
brought to a close by each team
scoring one run. Muskogee. 1; Nor-
mal, 1.
Second inning was a pitchers' bat-
tle from beginning to end. Score,
N. E. S. N., 1; Muskogee, 1.
Third inning opened with a little
grounder to Shanks by Ossenkop
which he over-threw. Hens!ey of-
fered a nifty little peg to second
which was fumbled by Moore, ad-
vancing Ossenkop.
The fourth inning, which was
perhaps the most important of the
game, opened with Biggs hitting
lor a single; Nelson chopped and
Creager offered Shanks a fast grass
dipper which he fumbled. Hines
i'ollowed with a fast grounder to
Phillips at second which he fielded
clear and played the ball into a fast
double by tagging Creager and
throwing Hines out at first. In the
last half Phillips placed one over
the right fielder for three bases.
Hensley followed by a sacrifice to
deep left field,, scoring Phillips
from third. Fourth inning closed,
score N. E. S. N. 2; Muskogee, 1.
Fifth opened with Dannenberg
reaching first by error. He steals
second and Littlefleld follows with
a little grounder to short stop. He
was throwed out. O. Moore pop-
ped a iong tlv to left field. Phillips
swung hard but tipped the ball on
home plate and was thrown out by
the catcher. Score, Normal, 2;
Muskogee, 1.
Sixth. Cameron rapped a little
hit for first. Peters landed O.
Moore a bullet which .he received
and tossed to first with ease. Nel-
son poked a long fly into left but
Adair accepted and a star to his
bonnet. Score, Normal, 2; Musko-
gee, 1.
Tlje seventh was a pitchers' bat-
tle from the very beginning. It was
in this inning that Sanders pulled
down along fly.
The eighth and ninth were
featureless for long hits, but the
pitchers showed good form in these
innings. The game closed with
Normal, 2; Muskogee, 1.
To point out a star in this game
would be easy. Everybody played
like professionals. Thorne received
ten strike outs on the city boys and
held them down to three hits. Biggs
for Muskogee allowed only two hits
and struck out three.
The Normal is safe in boasting
that she has the fastest baseball
team she has ever had. The boys
have played four games this season
and have carried off the large end
of the score in three of them. The
boys are preparing to add another
victory to their list next Friday
when they meet a fast team from
Marble City.
The lineup and score of yester-
day's game follows:
Normal Position Muskogee
Hensley c Creager
Thorne p Biggs
Dannenberg 1st b Montgomery
O. Moore 2nd b Hines
Shanks 3rd b Nelson
Phillips ss Ossenkop
Littlefleld rf Neubauer

Score by Innings:
