London, Dec. 11.—It is thought that . no attempt will be made to define the future position of Jerusaleni unless a general peace comes, the Times says it understands. In the meantime the city will be treated as in British mili- tary occupation and will be under martial law. Gen. Allenby will ap- point = military government. the British flag will fly over the city, the French and Italian flags will be placed over their national property, such as convents and schools. A solemn thanksgiving and Te Deum will be held in St. Paul's cathedral today in celebration of the surrender. In Moscow. Dec. 11.—The situation in Moscow is reported to be grave, ac- cording to a Times despatch from Pe- trograd. The Bolsheviki, according to Petrograd newspapers have placed machine guns in the streets as they fear an uprising of hostile parties. The garrison, however, shows signs of in- subordination and is reported to be- disobeying the Lolsheviki command- er, a private soldier named Muranoff. Considerable forces, the despatch 1dds, are being detached from the west front to be sent against the Cossacks. London, Petain, a Visitor. Vavre, Monday, Dec. 10.—General Petain, the French commander-in- chief visited Belgian general head- guarters yesterday and conferred the zrade of grand officer of the legion of honor on Gen. De Ceyninck, the Bel- gian minister of war, and on General Rudquey, the Belgian chief of staff. Later Gen. Petain was received by King Albert in whose company he re- viewed a large force of Belgian troops. To Suppress Revolt. Copenhagen, Dec. 11—As the Bolsh- sviki government has proofs that Gen- erals Kaledines and Dutoff have been arresting workmen’s and soldiers’ councils and trying to disarm revolu- tionary garrisons, according to a de- spatch received here from the official Petrograd telegram bureau, the gov- ernment has decided to make an end to the counter revolutionary move- ment. It has ordered enough troops to suppress the movement to be trans- ferred frm the Caucasus. It is ex- plained that the troops in the Cauca- sus, were chosen so as not to diminish the forces on the eastern front. Further Details. London, Dec. 10.—Further details of the statement made to Russian jour- nalists by Sir George Buchanan, Brit- ish ambassador at Petrograd, as for- warded in a Reuter despatch, show that the ambassador declared the Rus- sian commissaries were mistaken in thinking a durable peace could be ob- tained by asking the Germans for an armistice, to be followed by an agree- ment. The Allies, he said, wished to arrive first at a general agreement in harmony with their declared war aims and then to arrange an armistice. Hitherto not one word had been said by any German statesman to show the ideals of the Russian democracy were shared by Emperor William and his government, the Ambassador said. Tt was with the German autocracy, not with the German people, that the armistice negotiations were being con- ducted. It is questionable whether it was likely that the emperor, when once he knew the Russian army has ceased to exist as a fighting force, would be disposed to subscribe to a democratic and durable peace. On the contrary, the peace wntempmtcd_by the emperor was a German imperial- istic peace. Although the Allies could not send representatives to take part in the ar tice negotiations, they were ready, sir George said, as soon as a stabie government had been es- tablished in Russia, to examine with {hat zovernment the aims of the war and possible conditions of a just and durable peace. In the meantime, the Allies were giving Russia the most effective as- (Continued On Tenth Page). While | "$500.

Leland, the retiring acting president, took up the reins of office. { ESCAPE IN NIGHTCLOTHES Early Morning Fire in Main Street { Block Endangers Occupants Sleep- i i ing in Tenements Above. Dense clouds of smoke from a fire in the cellar of the block at 549 Main street early this morning almost suffo- cated a number of dwellers in the ten- ements above and caused the firemen considerable work.

NEGRO RIOTERS ARE SHOT AT SUNRISE Wholesale Shoofing Result ol Court Martial in Texas CAUSED SEVERAL DEATHS Others Are Dishonorably Discharged from the Army an® Sentenced, While Other Comrades Escape Without Being Sent to Prisons. San Antonlo, Dec. 11.—Thirteen ne- groes were hanged at Fort Sam Houston this morning for complicity in the riot at Houston, August 23. The men who paid the penalty of death were: Sergeant William C. Nesbitt, Cor- porals Larson J. Brown, James Wheatley, Jesse Moore and Charles | W. Baltimore, and Privates William Brackenridge, Thomas C. Hawkins, Carlos Snodgrass, Ira B. Davis, James Devine, Frank Johnson, Bosley W. Young and Pat MacWhorter. The announcement of action on the court martial’s verdict was made at Southern department headquarters by the chief of staff who, also gave out a formal statement in which the | names of the men sentenced to life imprisonment were given. Only army officers and Sheriff John Tobin of Bexar county were present when the sentence was carried out | “by soldiers from the post. Of the 63 men tried by the same court martial, 41 were sentenced to life imprisonment. One man was sentenced to dishonorable discharge | from the army, forfeiture of all pay and allowances and to be confined at hard labor for two and a half years. | Three were sentenced to be dishonor- ably discharged from the army forfeit all pay and #llowances and be con- fined at hard labor for two years. Tive were acquitted. in Washington, Dee. 11.—The hanging ¢ thirteen negro troops for com- plicity in the Houston riot was un- known to practically all officials of | the war department until it was an- nounced at Fort Sam Houston. i Doubtless the sentence of the court | martial and the preparations for the executions were known to a few high | officials but so far as can be learned the departmental commander carried | out the execution as a routine affair as he is warranted to do in time of war and only made the usual formal report which was received after the . news despatches. Were the country at peace the exe- | cutions would have required the ap- proval of the president. In war time, however, all such authorization fis placed with responsible commanders. No such wholesale execution in the army has occurred within the mem- ory of the present generation. LOST IN STORM.

Halifax, Dec. 11.—The snowstorm which hampered the relief workers yesterday was of short duration and last night was clear and cold. As the snow which fell was near enough to rain to be well saturated, a hard crust had formed today, further inter- | fering with traffic problems and with the work of clearing away the ruins ©of wrecked buildings. All activities, however, are now on a systematic basis and Halifax men joined today with men from other parts of Canada and cities in the | United States in making further prog- ress toward bringing back more nor- mal conditions. The refusal to admit curiosity seekers to the city already has resulted in a noticeable lessening | of the congestion which threatened a serious impediment to the care of the injured, the feeding and housing of ‘the homeless and the reconstruction of devastated districts. Hundreds of men were busy today about the less badly damaged build- ings. The chief task here was to replace broken windows and doors and to repair roofs torn open by pieces of flying wreckage in the ex- plosion last Thursday. The supplies of window glass sent here from other | cities proved useful and a party of skilled glass cutters from Boston as- sisted in replacing thousands of shat- tered panes. For all concerned last night was the most restful since the explosion. The sinking of the munitions steamer Picton yesterday with the subsequent official assurance there would be no more explosive-laden ships in the har- bor drove away fears of further pos- sible disaster and permitted residents and relief workers to sleep in peace. The United States already ha. a force of doctors and nurses sufh to deal with the situation here, F. Morse, head of the American Red Cross delegation, said in a statement today. . “My ilpression s that our country now contributed enough trained people and supplies to make sure that every thing humanly for all in disty said. “Hereafter possible is done AL Morse it secms te me peo- ple and supplies should be forwarded only on requisition in order that actus wants should be taken care of, and that congestion and overlapping should be avoided.” Because of his wide experience, gained while directing reconstruction forces in San Francisco after the earthquake and fire there, Mr. Morse has been askd by the general commit- tee to give it the benefit of his counsel lat ail times. —One Amer- lost his lire in the Halifax disaster.

Mass funerals will be held daily in the local cemeteries for some weeks to come. Grave digging operations have been hampered further by the fros which succceded yesterday's snow- storm.

King. She said that since she was five years old she had known Mrs. King and during the last several years had been with her almost con- stantly. She told of having signed a note jointy with her husband for a loan of $26,000 made the defendant by Mrs. King. Mrs. Means testified that she never observed any evidence that her hus- band sought to restrain Mrs. King's liberty or dominate her. She cor- | roborated the defendant’s testimony at various points, including his ex- planation of the mysterious references lin letters to her by her husband while she was at Asheville with Mrs. King and he in New York last July. The defense recalled Chief of Po- lice Robinson, who said Afton Means, brother of the defendant, told him on the night of Mrs. King’s death that | Gaston said immediately after the shooting: “Mrs. King shot herself with that little pistol.” Henry Deitch, of New York, a cler- ical employe of Means, described the system used by Means in keeping the accounts between himself and Mrs. King.
