LOS ANGELES, July 14.—Former
Secretary of State Bryan, in a state-
men here last night, said that any
American traveler takes on unnecessary
risk when he goes into the war zone
on a belligerent ship and also when he
sails on a neutral ship carrying ammu-
nition. “1 believe our government would
be justified," said Mr. Bryan, "in sep-
arating passengers from ammunition,
but until this is done American travel-
ers would be justified in refusing to
Utke passage on belligerent ships or
neutrals carrying unitions. If patriot-
ism requires, a man to risk hft life
when hie country is engaged in war,
it would seem to be patriotic for a cit-
izen to avoid risks that might involve
his country in war." . 1
NEW YORK, July 14.—Harry K. Thaw

who is -trying the case. '
The state rested its case yesterday
evening. Dr. Austin Flint, an alienist
testifying for- the state, brought up a
qew feature of the case when he testi-
fied that Thaw had tried to hypnotize
him-. Dr. Baker, assistant physician at
Matteawan, testified that he had exam-
ined Thaw on several occasions and be-
lieved him insane, but admitted that
Thaw had shown no evidences of insan-
ity during the present trial.
MONTGOMERY, Ala.July 14—Rec-
ommendation that Alabama should stop
the leasing pf convicts Jan. 1, 1918, and
that they be wonted on.the public roads
and state farms instead is made In the
report of the Merrit legislative inves-
tigating committee. The committee re-
ported it found evidence of spoil, graft
and corruption in the Department <>f
Agriculture, and the Pure Food Depart-
ment for the past four years, "instead
of being used for the protection of the
public from impure drugs and foods,
has served as a means for a systematic
sbheme/ of robbery and thievery.”
Chairman Merrit has been anonymously
warned that he would be assassinated
and was guarded by special deputy
sheriffs.

BEDFORD, la., July 24.—Samuel An-
derson, whose attempt to obtain, part
of the treasure said to have been bur-
ied near Siam, la., forty-seven years
ago, led to the arrest here last week of
four pioneers charged with the mur-
der of Nathaniel Smith, a wealthy^ cat-
tleman and his son in 1868, wa
first witness today in the murdei
treasure case.
He told of coming into the possession
of the farm at Siam, on which the mur-
ders were committed, and where the
men are said to have buried the treas-
ure. He told of spending years dig-
ging up his farm and searching ‘far the
treasure chest.
Witness Denies Story.
•Mrs. Elizabeth Collins Benson, widow
of Jonathan Dark, whose name has
been mentioned frequently in connec-
tion with the alleged murders, testified
today there had been no killing on the
Siam farm at the time of when her
sister, Mrs. Marie Collins Porter, testi-
fied last night, and that there was no
secret cave and she never heard of any
burned treasure.
She denied her sister’s statement that
she killed her former husband, Jona-
than Dark. She said this husband did
not come home- to kill Maria Collins,
as the latter testified, because of Ma-
rla’s knowledge of the murder and
the treasure, but because he objected
to a man her other sister Mattle went
with. Mattie thereupon killed Jona-
than, she testified. .

have made a cl«n sweep along the rail-
road from Leon south to Irapuato, al-
though Carranza advices are that Agua
Calientes has. been taken by Carranza
forces. The Villa capture of Queretaro

ance, as Villa headquarters claims that
it not only cuts off Obregon from Vera
Cruz and Mexico City, but that it pre-
vents him also from proceeding west-
ward toward Guadalajara.

AUSTRIANS LOSE TWO

WASHINGTON, July MAAlthough of-
ficial circles diecuased at length today
the forthcoming American reply to the
German note, there is no reason to he-
lleye that there wilj be any particular
hu'fry about it. and it is believed that
the tenor of the note has not been de-
termined upon by the President, who
will, in the end, dictate that?
President Undecided Yet. w -
Reports that the president had de-
cided on the tone and tenor of the
American reply to the German note
were set at rest by the direct slatement
last night in a telegram to Secretary
Tumulty that he would return soon to
lay the matter before the cabinet and
that he had not yet arrived at a decision
as to the American policy in the mat-
So far as can be gathered here the
President's advisers will be practically
unanimous in the belief that the cru-
cial point in the correspondence with
Germany over the submarine warfare
has arrived, and that if the American
government is not to recede from its
previously announced position on the
principles involved, the next move must
convey more or less pointedly the pur-
poses of this government in the event
of further violations of American rights
in the war zone.
