I, Sept. 16.—A continu- ance of two weeks was ordered when the cases of Mrs. Elizabeth Tiffany Blair Mohr, accused of inciting the murder of husband, Dr. C. Franklin Mohr. of Providence, and Newport, and George W- Healis, Victor Brown and Henry Spellman, the negroes, charged witl: the actual commission of the crime, were called for a hear- ing in the district court today. The continuance was granted on the rep- resentation of Assistant Attorney Gen- eral Capatosto that the most import- ant material witness for the prosecu- tion, Miss Emily G. Berger, Dr. Mohr’s secretary, was unable o be present. Miss Berger. who was wounded on the night of August 31 at the time Dr. Mohr was killed, is recovering from her injuries at a hospital in Provi- dence, Arthur Cushing, attorney for Mrs. Mohr, and Wm. H. Lewis of Cam- bridge, Mass, former assistant United States attorney general, who repre- sented the negroes, sought a guaran- tee that the defendants’ rights would not be prejudiced and that the evi- dence of the state wculd not be pre- sented to the grand jury before the continued hearing could be held. Mr. Mr, Capatosto, however, refused to define the state’s position. RUMANIA' EXPECTED T0 ENTER WAR SOON FBalkan States Excepting Bul- garia Will Fight With the Allies. London, Sept. 16, 10:30 a. m—A Copenhagen despatch to the Ex- change Telegraph company says Ger- man newspapers were permitted yes- terday to publish sensational tele- grams intimating that Rumania’s par- ticipation in the war may be expected at sny minute. The massing of German and Aus- trian troops on the Rumanian fron- tier has resulted in the Balkan nation making preparations for eventualities. A large part of her army already has been mobilized and reservists in other countries have been ordered home, A steadfast refusal of Rumania to permit the transportation through her territory by Germany of military supplies for Turkey is supposed to have aroused the animosity of the central empires. Recent advices from Rome were to the effect that negotiations were un- der way for the formation of a new Balkan league to be composed of Ru- mania, Serbia and Greece. Bulgaria, it was said, was not included in the negotiations because of her agree- ment with Turkey by which she will obtain possession of territory along the Dedeaghatch Railway. Montene- gro probably would act in accord with the other three powers, as she already is arrayed on the side of the allies in the war. LINER ASHORE Eubhrate of Aground on [essageries Mariatimes Socotra Island—Will be a Total Luss. Marseilles, France, Sept- 16, 5:05 a. m-—The liner Euphraie owned by the Messageries Mariatimes has gone ashore on the Island of Socotra. Pazs- engers and crew have been taken off by passing steamers. It is feared ‘the Euphrate will be a total loss. The Euphrat: is a steamer of 6,376 tons gross, 447 feet long, with a beam of 52 feet. She was last reported to have sailed from Saigon, French Co- chin, China, Aug. 24, for Marseilles. Socotra Island, on which the Euph- rate is reported to have gone aground iz in the Indian Ocean near the ecn- trance to the Gulf of Aden and 135 miles east-northeast of Cape Guard- afui. It is about 80 miles in length and the capital is Tamarida, on the north coast. VICIIM OF PLOT. Investigation Will Re Instructed As to Method of Onoko’s Sinking. Cleveland, O., Sept- 16.—The crew of the steamer Onoko, which sank in Lake Superior Tuesaay, will be ex- amined here today to learn whether there is any ground for the suspicion the Onoko was sent to the bottom to prevent delivery of wheat to the allies, George M. Steinbrenner, manager of the steamer will conduct the investi- gation and if evidence warrants, will ask the federal authcrities to act. Steinbrenner received word from Capt. W, H.

BRITAIN SEIZES AMERICAN GOODS Several Million Dollars Worth of Products Forfeited to Crown WERE ENROUTE T0 GERMANY Judgment of Prize Court Is That Meat and Rubber Was Destined for Teutonic Enemy-—Leave To Appeal Given By Sir Evans. London, Sept. 16, 8:33 p. m.—The Britishs prize court today condemned ducts forming the cargoes of four steamships. The products, valued at several million dollars, are declared forfeited to the crown. The judgment was delivered by Sir Samuel T. Evans, president of the court. It involves the cargoes of the Norwegian Steamships Kim, Alfred Nobel, Bjornstjerne-Bjarnson, and Fridland. All the goods on these ves- sels, consisting principally of Amer- ican meat products, are confiscated with the exception of a small propor- tion which the court released to claimants. . The case has been pending for sev- eral months, The steamships were seized last November. and although efforts were made by the American owners to obtain an early trial the British authorities set the hearing for June. The hearing closed last month and judgment was reserved until to- day. Carrying Much Goods. In a lengthy judgment, Sir Samuel said it was plain these ships were carrying towards Copenhagen, when captured, more than thirteen times the amount of goods which, under normal circumstances. would have been taken to that port. That fact Bave practical and averwhelming as- surance that the goods were intended to find their way to Germany, al- though of course, it did not prove conclusively that they were destined for an enemy of Great Britain. One circumstance throwing light on the real destination.of the goods, Sir Samuel said, was that the ex- portation of lard by one American company alone to Copenhagen in three weeks after the outbreak of the war was twenty.times more than- - in periods of peace. As to tins of canned meat, he said, it had not been shown they had been sent to Denmark in any great quantity before the war yet hundreds of thousands were on the way when the vessels were captured. ‘These tins, it seemed, could not have been meant for any persohs other than German soldiers. Consignment of Rubber. Referring to the consignments of rubber, described as gum, the presi- dent said: “I have come to the con- clusion that gum is not a true com- mercial description for rubber and that it was used in the ship’s mani- fests in order to avoid the difficulty which would result in its capture by a belligerent. Any concealment of this sort will, while I sit in the prize court, weigh heavily against those who adopt such courses. “Neutrals are expected to conduct their neutral trade during the war without false papers and with candor and bhelligerents are entitled to ex- pect from neutrals a frank course of conduct.” Allows One Claim. Sir Samuel zllowed one claim of a Danish manufacturer for a quantity of rubber, wkick he said, had been shipped in good faith for use in his factory. Another claim was disal- lowed. The meat cargqes, shipped for the most part by the great American packing companies and valued by them at $15,000,000 were found by the president to be destined, except for some small items, not for con- sumption in Denmark but for delivery in Germany. He held that their eventful destination was the German government, for the use of its naval and military forces. To rule other- wise, Sir Samuel said, would be, “to allow one’s eves to be blinded thecries and technicalities.” Disallowed Sixteen Claims, The court disallowed sixteen claims including those of the Morris, Ar- mour, Hammond, Swift and Sulzber- ger. It allowed eight claims, in- cluding that of the Cudahy company of Chicage. The others were Danish consignees. Sir Samuel gave leave to appeal, fixing security for the costs at $25,- 000, alvisible among the appellants. He also gave the crown attorneys Jeave to appeal in the cases of the Cudahy and other claims which were allowed. CHILD HIT BY AUTO.

New York, Sept. 16.—Newman Erb, wealthy financier, and railroad reor- ganize, who swallowed two poison tablets by mistake, is today confined to his summer home at Deal, N. J. calmly awaiting the outcome of the efforts being made by three specialixts to save his life. He spent a comfort- able night, is virtually free from pain and entirely conscious. The physicians hope that pPrompt rejection of the poison by the stomach and the first ajd ren- dered by Mr. Erb's valet prevented all but a small 2amount of the poison from entering the financier’s system. Whether this has been the case, the physicians in attendance have told Mr. Erb and his family may not be determinable, for four or five days. Mr. Erb’s family today explained how he came to take the poison. He was returning to Deal from New :York having spent the previous day and night in Philadelphia. In his trav- eling bag he carried a bottle of headache tablets and another con- taining tuWwiets which he used in making a wash for an injured foot. Mr. Erb had a headache when he boarded the train and took two tab- lets from one of the bottles. A short time later he was taken ill. The con- ducter sent a message to Mr. Erb's home, and his yalet met him at the station. Because of his prominegce in the railroad and financial world Mr. Erb’s casc is attracting much atten- tion.
