Officlals at the German embassy re- fused to discuss that development, but it became known authoritatively that Meyer Gerhard, who sailed from New York yes- terday for Copenhagen on the steamer United States with a guarantee of ‘safe conduct obtained by the American gov- ernment from the allies, is the man. He is an attache of the German colonial office and has been in the United States several months representing the German Red Cross. The dispatch of the envoy was the basis of much confidence in German quarters here, where is was belleved an understanding on submarine warfare satisfactory to both Germany and the Tnited States could be evolved. The day's cabinet meeting began with all members practically agreed that the United States cannot consider the Gers man reply responsive and must insist, | before diplomatic correspondence . can { proceed further, upon an affirmative or negative answer to the principle that lives of non-combatants cannot lawfully be imperiled on the high seas, but must be transferred to safety before a legiti- mate prize is destroyed.

Cochran shot Jump, whom he declared ‘was on too intimate relations ‘with Mrs. Cochran. Jump ‘died in an Omaha hos- pital January 23. Domestic troubles be- tween Mr. and Mrs. Cochran complicated the case, the latter having sued Cochran for diverce. t The ghooting of Jump was admitted by the defendant, who claimed he did the shooting in self-defense. He said he en- tered the Wooten home, east of Rosalie, but before going in the house he looked in through the window and saw Jump sitting in a high chair wiih his arms around Mrs. Cochran's shoulders. After entering the house and taking a few steps. Cochran claimed that Jump-dived for his hip pocket, and, thinking. that he was golng to shoot him, he pulled his volver and fired at him—he thought three times. He then left th ehouse and went to the home of his father-in-law, S8am Va sar, and called him out and told him what hé had done. While there he went in tho house and talked with bis little girl, kissed her and then walked to Rosalie and gave himself up.

Decision in Steel Case Causes Boom in Stock Market NEW YORK, June 4.—The victory of the United States Steel corporation in the government's dissolution suit caused an outburst of bulllsh enthusinsm at the opening of today's stock market Bteel was the outstanding feature, al- though its Initial quotation was some- what belated. The first transaction con- sisted of one lot of 28,000 shares at 6462, compared with yesterday's close of 57%. The next sale was a lot of 2,000 ghares at 621, followed by 3,200 at 63%, after which it reacted slightly. In the first fifteen minutes 65,000 shares of Stest - hands, * Unjted States Steel preforred rose 24, points, and throughout the list there wero, gains ranging from 2 to 4 points. Inter- national Harvester, whose affaits. are now under federal review, opened with a gain of 14 points, and American Can, which is also being investigated by the federal government, opened with a &al of 7,000 shares at 42 to 45, against y terday’s close of 37%. Distillery securities advanced § polnts over yesterday. Trading slackened toward the end 'of the first hour, but the turnover in that time excedeed 400,000 shares. Profit- taking comtinucd, with the result that some early gains were altogether lost, while others were reduced to minor frac- tions, Steel held better than other lead- ers, ylelding less than half its gain. Harvester, American Can and Distillers fell 11, 5 and 8% points respectively from their high prices. The later session recorded a succossion of declines in most part of the list. The cnly conspiciious exceptions to this tend- ency were Amalgamated Copper, West- inghouse and General Electric, which soored their highest quotations In the final hour. Total sales amounted to 1,006,000 shares.

The big loop which the Austro- German forces had made around Przemysl stronghold has been drawn to a straight line. At the same time to the southeast, Stry has been left behind, as General Von Linsingen's forces are pushing their way north- ward toward the Dneister, with Lem- berg presumably as their objective, seeking to avold the great marshes 1o the west. It is reported that some of these forces have already reached the Dneister line, near Mikoloajaw, with Lemberg only about twenty-five miles away. To the north of Przemysl General Mackenzen is now safe, having dared to drive a wedge between the Russian armies on the lower San and the fort- ress, and made good. The bellef here is that the Germans have sot their hearts upon Lemberg and that they will not for some time be con- tent to assume the defensive. Some commentators suggest today that the allies in the west will now initiate an offensive movement in the hope of relieving the pressure on the Russians. French Official Report.

The Day’s War News ‘The trial of the countess, with Dr. Namauff and Attorney Prilukoff, ae- cused of complicity with her in the crime, was one of the most remarkable in the criminal annals of Italy. All three were found guilty, the trial, which lasted nearly 100 days, was attended by many represeatatives of the aristioracy. The countess, whose beauty and manner won the sympathy of Venstians, was accused of causing the jealous youth, Namauff, to journey from Vienna to Venice and kill the count. The Moscow lawyer, Prilukoff, was indicted for following Nauwmnauff to Venice with the intention of killing him after the count's murder. Both charged the countess with being: responsible for the plot and each as- sertsd she had promised to marry him after the count was out of the way. Count Kamarowsky insured his life for $10,000 in favor of the countess in 1907 and went with her to Vienna after he had promised to marry her. ALPINE MOUNTAINEERS TAKE AUSTRIAN POSITION ROME .
