The London evening papers, in fell- ing of the incident, employ, in some cases, suggestive captions, such as “An Unfriendly Act” but because the American note laid so much stress on the demand that American lives on merchant, ships should not,be jeopard- ized without warning, it %as difficult for the English mind determine whether the sinking of the ship after the crew were taken off constituted what America. would regard as a repe- tition of acts which she insists must cease.

PRESIDENT AWAITS DETAILS OF SINKING OF LEELANAW Up to a Late Hour Had Received Only Newspaper Despatches. Cornish, N.

Up to a late hour Zomieit ho had received only newspaper des- patches telling of the attack and did not know officially whether the Lee- lanaw was given any warning or whether she attempted to escape.

In support of this, the American gov- ernment stands on the famous moros cases in the Civil war in which the United States supreme court Tuled that the non-contraband portion of a cargo shipped from England to Mex- ico, destined to Texas, which was then blockaded, must be released, since a blockade could not be legally operated asainst a neutral coast. Secretary Lansing probably will draft a new note on_the entire sub- ject and submit it to President Wilson on his return to Washington. HEARING.

Ford for more time to consider the appli- cation for & new trial made by Charles Becker, under sentence of death for instigating the murder of Herman Rosenthal, gambler, the execution of the former police lieutenant was post- poned tonight from Wednesday until and | Friday of this week. Justice Requests Postponement. Justice Ford today heard arguments for and against the application. At their conclusion he reserved decision and gave counsel until noon tomor- move victims of the disaster from the | tice wrecked ship and to determine wheth- er the total death list would in around 1,000, believed, or creep up to 1,200 or more, as others predicted. Registration of employes by the Western Electric _company chowed nearly 400 missing, but many of the names of these were included in the list of 826 bodies already iden- tified. It was salg that probably a goodly number did not repert at the plant, although safe. The probability of swelllng the list above a thousand - was the announcement of detectives from the state’s attorney's .office that they had seized the tickets taken from pas- sengers boarding the Eastland for the excursion to Michigan City, Ind. They asserted that these tickets numbered 2550 and dld not account for chil- dren, musicians and the 72 members the crew. They .estimated that the total mumber of persons abourd the steamer might have been 32,800 or more, Instead of the 2,480 previously announced by officers of the Indiana Tra.nspormllon company. The of the ship asserted that 2,408 pas- senger tickets had collected. State's Attorney MacLay Hoyne, i pursuing his investigation, seized correspondence which had pase: ed between officers of the Electric Employes' organiaation. which gave the picnic and the. Indiana ing the Tranggortation company, Bastland and four other asi X le to carry more than 7, 0” M““" Company Advised Sale of More TIM The state’s attorney said this cor- respondence showed that the steam: ship company had avised that the more tickets sold, the greater would be’the rebate paid to the employes’ organiza- tion. Tickets were to be sold to em- ployes of the Western Electric com- pany for 75 cents at the factory, or $1 at the wharf. According to the sttae’s attorney the letters showed there would be a rebate of one third on all tickets over 4,000 and something less on those above 2,500. Employes Almost Compelled to- Buy Tickets. Complaint had already been made by several employes of -the Western Electric company that they had been almost compelled to purchase tickets for the excursion by fear that officers of the Employers’ organization, who sold them, would discriminate against those who failed to g0 on the excur- sion. The picnic to Michigan Ci#fy has been an annual affair and these men said that employes who had refus- ed to buy tickets in previous years had been ziven less remunerative work or discharged although probably without the sanction of executives of thg com- pany. To the confusion of determining the total number of lives lost there was added much wrangling among officials of different jurisdiction over tentative plans to right the Fastland, which still lies on its port side where it sank. Dozen Bodies Recovered Yesterda: Despite an all-day search of the hulk by divers and a constant dragging of the river bed between the wreck and a net stretched across the river a block down the current, only a dozen fes were found. Estimates of the number still held under water varied from 150 to 500. The steamer, with a width of 38 feet, protruded twelve or thirteen feet above the river. This divers said, indicated that the lower edge of the deck did not_sink more than a foot into the muddy bottom. Identification of recovered victims was all but completed tonight. Funer- als were held for a few of the dead and. many more were planned for tomor- row, but most of the burials will take place Wednesday.

The attempt made by Becker's at- by | torneys to have the condemned man, as well as the authors of several af- fidavits, all to comtain new evi- dence, and e petsons mentioned in them, called to tness stand in the proceedings, failéd, for the time being at least. Justice Ford stated that he saw no necessity for calling witnesses. “In view of the fact that the state has contended these aMdavits are not new evidence, I propose to accept them on_thelr face value,” he said. Jystice Ford then fixed tomorrow noon as the expiration of time for fling briefs, if any are to be filed. . Cockran Reviews Case. Mr. Cockran. chief counsel for Beck- er, spoke for three hours in presenting the application. He reviewed the events prior to Rosenthal's murder; circumstances leading to the confes- sions of Jack Rose, Bridgie Webber and Harry Vallon, and the circum- of the two s. On _this 35 Cos ted the dence relating to the Sulli- van conference and the affidavit made by Joseph Murphy, who claimed to have overheard the informers oonspire in_the Tombs to “frame” Becker. In conclusion, Mr. Cockran said: Declares Becker Has Not Asked for Mercy. ¢ “If Becker is now executed he will be executed on a technicality. The footsteps of justice are enmeshed. Becker is ready for his fate. He has asked mercy of no one, but for the first time we have a man about to be executed who cannot submit his fate to the hands of an impartial chief ex- ecutive. The governor of this state is the official who constructed the case against Becker. Save the state from the stain of taking life in a case where the preponderance of proof is contrary to the ‘gullt of the man who is to be executed.’ State Cl s No New Evidence. Assistant District Attorney Taylor, who opposed Becker’s appeal, required only an hour and a quarter to present his case. He said the court could only grant Becker a new trial on the ground of newly discovered evidence and de- clared that none of the aMdavits pre- sented in Becker's application contain- ed new evidence.

S PR New York, July 26.—Two important developments marked the progress of the strike of oil workers at Bayonne, N. J, today. The first was the re- fusal of another_offer from the Stand- ard Oil company, through Superin- tendent G. B. Hennessey, which Sherift Kinkead and city officials also ap- peared to view in a favorable light; the other was the unmasking and ar- rest of Jeremiah J. Baly, chalrman of the strikers' committee, and virtually their recognized leader. Sheriff Controlled Meeting. Sheriff Kinkead presented Mr. Hen- nessey’s offer to about 500 strikers late today at a meeting which he dominat- ed by virtue of his right, it was stated, as the county’s chief peace officer. He walked In with a squad of men, took possession of the proceedings, had two of his men unfurl an American flag and asked the strikers to cheer the colors, which they did. Then he call- ed on those who were not strikers to leave the hall and about a dozen men who responded _were escorted out. One man who declared himself a so- cial revolutionist, was placed under arrest by the sheriff's orders. After announcing that no man could speak without his permission, the sheriff an- nounced the fact of the arrest of Baly, their committee chairman, but no demonstration was made by the men. The sheriff then read Superintend- ent Hennessy's proposition which was an offer to recommend to his supe- riors that the men be granted en in- crease in kages as soon as they retu to work. The communication follow: To Recommend Increase in Wages, “This is your authority for saying to the strikers that you have beem in conference with me today and that you have got me to give you my positive assurance, in which you ass me vou had every confidence that just as soon as the men on strike return to work, just that soon will I recommend to my people an increase in _their wages which I know will promptly re- ceive fair and favorable considera- tion.” Urged Men to Accept Off The sheriff strongly urged the men to accept the offer and return to work tomorrow, but after a discussion last- ing over an hour a majority of the men by a viva voce vote declined to accept it. Just before the meeting closed, the sheriff told the men: *“Unless you accept the offer, I pro- pose to have' the Standard Oil com- pany reopen their works and they can accept you as employes OF DOL yuws. as they choose. 1 will protect al) men who want to go to work when the plant reopens. Law and Order in Control. “Law and order is now in comtrol in Bayonne and the first man who vi- olates it will be placed under arrest™ The sheriff added that he had 1,000 men now and would positively enforce Wwhat he had said. It was learned later that Frank Tan- nenbaum, of New York, who has been active in the work of the Industrisl Workers of the World, was placed un- der arrest during tie meeting. The charge, it was said, was inciting riot. Arrest of Chairman. The arrest of Jeremiah J. Baley to- day came while the men were receiv- ing their wages at the _Tidewater plant. It was shown by the that Baly had never been an em ploye of the Standard Oil company and he was taken in custody on suspicion that he had been influenced by ouuu- interests to_incite trouble among the strikers in Bayonne. Baly, in a signed statement, which was made public by Sheriff Ki who ordered his arrest and is investi- gating his career, said that he had “falsely and maliciously himself to Sheriff Kinkead, the strikers and the Standard Oil officials as an employe of the company and that be regretted the part he had played” Impressed the Strikers. Baly, who is 22 years old-and says he was born in Bohemia, lives in Elizabeth, N. J., and was an employe of a sewing machine company there u pto the time of the ofr strike started. He gained remarkabls. infinence. over the strikers shortly aft- er joining ir their discussions .and was apparently accepted by them as a fellow workman. In a statement to newspapermen Baly emphatically denied, in answer to questions, that he was at work in Bayonne in the interest of any foreign government. He vaguely said that a friend had urged him to go to Bayonne to help the strikers and that he had done so in the belief that he was fight- ing for the rights of man, a which he strongly held. The man will be held pending a thorough inquiry. The unrest among the oil Workers reached Jersey City today when the coopers emploved in the Eagle Ofl company at Caven Point, a subsidiary of the Standard Oil company, struck. The strikers claimed that all the 2,- 500 men in the plant would join them tomorrow. HITCH IN SETTLEMENT OF REMINGTON STRIKE. Some of the Returning Men Were Re- fused Their Old Places Back. Bridgeport, Conn., July 26.—An un- expected bitch occurred in the settle- ment of the strike at the Remington Arms and Ammunition company today when returning strikers were refused swimming pool for the covicts, which was used for the first time. Eight destroyers of the Greek navy were ordered to the Guif of Smyrna to protect several thousand Greeks at the port of Vurla, who have been ordered to leave for the interior. Shortly afte iving Bayonne, N.J., the steamer Teucer collided with an unidentified schooner off Tompkins- ville, Staten Island, and was so seri- ously damaged that she returned to port.

When the iron workers learned of the turn of affairs they again quit, but a few of them returned this afternoon, and the remainder will go back tomorrow, pending a further attempt at a final adjustment of the difficuity. J. J. Keppler, vice president of the machinists, J. A. Jobnson, vice presi- dent of the iron workers, and John Flynn, national organizer of the car- penters’ union, left tonight for New York, where they will confer regarding the eight hour demand made upon the International Paper company. Before leaving, Mr. Keppler said: “I do mot know what caused the hitch today. 1 will investigaie_this phase of it while I am in New York. in the meantime, if everything is not adjusted by 4 o'clock Wednesday af- ternoon, another strike will be called. If the manufacturers want fight, they shall have it.” It was intimated that a general strike of the allied trades would be declared againet not only the Reming- ton plants but every other factory do- ing any work for them in other parts of the country. The only men now out are those employed in four smaller factories doing sub-contract work for the Remington company here.

Charged with Embezziement of $200,- 000—Disappeared July 12, DEFINITE STEP TOWARD SETTLING MEXICAN PROBLEM. ing Several Suggested Courses. Washington. July 26.—A definite step toward settling the Mexican problem will be taken soon by the United States government. Authoritative an- nouncement to this effect was mads today at the state department although the nature of the contemplated was not disclosed. President Wilson is understood to be considering sever- al suggested courses. His _decision probably will not become known befos. his return to Washington from Corne: ish, N. H. The warring_ Mexican factions have failed to heed Mr. Wilson's of two months ago that they com- promise tneir differences and peace, the president apparently has determined_that the other measures which the Washington government an-. nounced it must take if the battle of - the factions continue must now be resorted, to. The president’'s most probable course, it was reported tonight, would be to urge General Carranza for the last time to confer with the other faction leaders in an effort to bring about peace. Should Carranza again refuse, this plan, it is said, contem- plates efforts to assemble other Mexi can leaders who will represent a ma- iority of the Mican people, Such a conference, it has been sug- gested, might be held in N Mexico, if it is possible to free it from military interference. If not it might be held across the border United States.
