Washington, July 15.—The coast
guard took up today active direc-
tion of efforts to rid the North At-
lantic coast of sharks, which have
cleared many beaches of bathers.
The life-saving service will render
aid.
The plan of the coast guard is to
ascertain first whether the sharks
are few in number or com-
prise large schools. If they are not
numerous, a cutter will be used to
fish for them, but the presence of
numbers would necessitate exten-
sive operations.
The bureau of fisheries issued a
statement declaring there was no
leason for panic among bathers.

■ As the big collier rolled in the water
at the mercy of the wind, which was
driving her toward Cape. Romaine,
fires broke out in the hold. They did
not gain great headway, but added to
the terror of those aboard.
The tug Wilmington, with two
daughters of Capt. Nelson of the Wil-
mington on board, reached the collier
at 1 o’clock Friday afternoon about one
hour after the vessel had grounded
fourteen miles north-northeast of Cape
Romaine. The Hector’s launch had
been incapacitated by the storm, but a.
small boat. with a line, put out and
succeeded in reaching the Wilmington.
The dangerous work of transferring
the men was immediately started and
lasted for six hours.
Capt. Newell with about a score of
men elected to remain in the forward
part of the Rector, which then had al-
most parted at about midship. The
Wilmington started for this port and
the Cypress set out to take off Capt.
Newell and his men, as it seemed cer-
tain there was no chance to save the
collier. At 8 o’clock last night Capt.
Newell and his men were forced to
leave the Hector.
There were five men aboard each of
the barges the Wilmington lost while
trying to tow them from Philadelphia
to Jacksonville.
The Wilmington left today to search
for them.
The tug Wilmington, bound for Jack-
sonville from Philadelphia, arrived here
this morning with 102 of the Hector’s
men aboard. The Cypress left here last
night to pick up the captain of the
Hector and fifteen men left aboard,
rough seas preventing the tug from res-
cuing them.
The Hector, according to best informa-
tion, broke in half yesterday afternoon
at about 4 o’clock when her wireless
became silent.
Four men injured among the 102
brought here are Engineer E. A. Mer-
cer, skull fractured; T. Christ, carpen-
ter, broken leg and knee cap; Fireman
McDermid, skull fractured and body
burned; Oiler Singleton, leg broken.

whereby the rights of citizens of each
country within the other’s domain Were
to be respected, violation of the agree-
ment by Germany being alleged. The
situation is such that the relations of
Italy and Germany seem to have
reached a greater tension than at any
time since the war began.
Before leaving Rome in the spring
of 1915, Prince von Buelow, then Ger-
man ambassador to Italy, concluded an
agreement with tthe Italian govern-
ment under which, in case of war be-
tween Austria and Italy, Germany and
Italy pledged themselves to respect the
properties and lives of their respective
subjectn. This meant for Germany a
.guarantee of several million dollars
worth of properties in Italy held by her
subjects, and for Italy the. safety of
30,000 of her citizens still living in Ger.
many.
No state of war exists between Ger-
many and Italy, and the agreement
negotiated by Prince von Buelow still
is in force. Italy, according to official
opinion here, has faithfully observed
the agreement, refraining from touch-
ing Germany property and freely al-
owing subjects of the German empire
to reside here. On the other hand, Ger-
many is unofficially accused of vio-
lating the agreement in depriving'
Italians in Germany of their lib
erty of action, preventing men of
military ase residing in Belgium from
eavinsthe country, suspending pay-
ments due Italians, and treating them
as subjects of a hostile power.
Accordingly a demand now is being
voiced for abrogation of the agreement
which in addition to the alleged disie-
gardof its provisions by Germany, has
resulted in misunderstandings in allied
nations regarding the situation, al-
though their governments were aware
of the true conditions and were con-
inced of.the implicit loyalty of Italy
to the entente cause.
AR of Marines and Crew on Hector Re-
ported Saved.
By Associated Press.
Washington, July 15.—Admiral Ben-
son, chief of operations of the navy
department, announced this morning
he had received dispatches from
Charleston saying the marines and crew
of the Hector all were saved. Part of
the rescued men were landed at the
Charleston navy yard, and the remaind-
er are aboard vessels in Charleston
harbor, he said.
A radiogram received at the navy
department from the commandant of
the Charleston navy yard says that at
8 o’clock this morning all the marines
and crew who were on the Hector were
safe. It said everybody had left the
Hector by 1 a. m. today and that part
of the men were at the navy yard and
the remainder aboard the tug Wilming-
ton in Charleston harbor.
A navy department radiogram from
Charleston says the Hector was aban-
doned at 12:45 o’clock this morning,
seven miles northeast of Cape Romaine.

GALVESTON TRIBUNE.
Judge Donnelly’s
When Mr. Joslyn finished his argu-
ment, Judge Donnelly began reading
his instructions to the jury. They were
characterized by James H. Wilkerson
and Ralph F. Potter, counsel for Orpet,
as virtually a command to acquit. Ex-
cerpts from the instructions follow:
The jury should not go beyond the
evidence to hunt up doubts, nor must
hey entertain such doubt as are chi-
merical or conjectural.
“The court instructs the jury that al-
though the jury should be satisfied by
the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt
that Marian Lambert died from cyanide
of potassium poisoning, still if the
jury finds from the evidence that she
had the same opportunity for taking
the poison herself without the aid of
defendant, that the defendant had to
give it to her, and if it is possible from
any reasonable manner to explain all
the facts and .circumstances proved on
the trial consistently wit hthe hypothe-
sis that she did take the poison her-
self for the purpose of killing herself,
then this is sufficient. to raise a rea-
sonable doubt, and that the jury should
render a verdict of not guilty.
“Nothing short of proof so clear and
convincing as to exclude every reason-
able hypothesis of .this innocence will
justify a conviction and without such
proof the jury must find the defend-
ant not guilty.
“Unless you find beyond all reason-
able doubt in considering the evidence
that .the defendant had cyanide of
potassium in his possession just prior
to the death of Marian Lambert then
you should find the defendant not
guilty.
“Flight, though a circumstance to be
weighed against the defendant, is not
of a conclusive character and it may
not be evidence of guilt if it appears
that there was any other motive for
flight than a sense of guilt. If there
are two theories, one for guilt and
one for innocence, then take the in-
nocence theory and acquit.”
The case went to the jury without
suggestion from the state as to pen-
alty which may range from 14 years
imprisonment to hanging.
David R. Joslyn, the special prosecu-
tor, continued the final arraignment of
Orpet begun yesterday. He was ex-

Waukegan, Ill., July 15.—The case
of William H. Orpet, University of Wis-
consin student, charged with the mur-
der of Marian Lambert, was given to
the jury this afternoon.
Counsel for the defendant said that
[ of the most famous artists in Texas
and the entire, country are on exhibi-
tion. Catalogues have been printed
with the titles of the paintings, their
authors and the price which the paint-
ers have placed upon them. It is pos-
sible to buy these paintings at the
price named. Miss Carolyn Maulsby,
a member of the Chicago Artists’ Guild,
is in charge of the exhibit with Miss
M. Claibcrne of Galveston assisting
her.
The aquarimu contains various varie-
ties cf fish that delight the old and
young alike. The fish were secured
form the hatcheries at San Marcos and
will remain at Menard park permanent-
ly. This is one of the features of the
marine exhibit. Other features of this
exhibit are the photographs of the Gal-
veston grade raising days and the con-
struction of the Panama Canal. An-
other sight interesting to the visitors
is an octopus, or devil fish which is
on exhibition.
The commercial exhibits are inter-
esting and the visitors never fail to
stop at each booth. A number of the
exhibits give away free things to eat
and drink. Those in charge are cour-
teous and are always glad to furnish
the Visitors any information that they
can. The Galveston Equal Suffrage as-

London, Jyly 15.—To the many
architectural beauties of London
will be added after the war a
grand mosque in memory of the
Moslems who have fallen in the
war on the side of the allies.
The work of raising funds for its
erection is in the hands of Lord
Headley, who embraced Moham-
medanism* three years ago and is
a devout member of the faith. He
has raised even now a large sum
toward his object, but perhaps will
obtain twice the sum now available
before the building will begin.
In the records of the Mohamme-
dan faith Lord Headley is described
as "Saifurrahman Shaikh Rahmahil-
lah Faroog,” which is a title of
highly complimentary nature. Lord
Headley has always had a reputa-
tion as an enthusiast, and this he
is maintaining in his new religion.
In his younger days he was best
boxer at Cambridge, having won
the middleweight and, the heavy-
weight honors. He is a civil engi-
neer, a former editor and a large
land owner in Ireland.

Outlook Is Good for Settlement of Dif-
ficulty.
By Associated Press.
Washington, July 15—Solution of
difficulties between the United States
and Mexico appeared today to trend
more and more towards settlement
through an international joint commis-
sion'.
Informal conferences between Act-
ing Secretary of State Polk and EHseo
Arredondo, Mexican ambassador-desig-
nate, it was indicated, were, developing
questions for probable submission to
such a body. Gen. Carranza is said
to approve the commission plan of
settling differences as provided in the
treaty of 1848 and state department
offcials are believed to be willing
to let negotiations take this course
though preferring that adjustment be
made through the present conferences.
President Wilson, it is understood, is
not dissastisfied with the direction ne-
sotiations are taking.

St. Joseph, Mo., July 15.—Mrs. Oscar
McDaniel, wife of the prosecuting at-
torney of Buchanan county, died here
today following an attack in her home
at midnight. Her skull was crushed,
apparently by a blunt instrument.
The police believe the assassin in-
tended to kill both the prosecutor and
his wife, and connect the tragedy with
an anonymous threatening letter re-
ceived by McDaniel a week ago.
McDaniel was called downtown by a
telephone call about 11:30 o’clock last
night. When he learned the call was
a fake he hurried home. As he stopped
his motor car in front of the house a
man opened fire on him from behind a
tree. The prosecutor returned the
shots. When his assailant fled McDan-
iel hurried inside and found his wife
on the floor of her room in a pool of
blood.

The electrical exhibit is unusually
good. All of the electrical contractors
of the city and the surrounding wa-
this feature a success. Each contrac-
tor has a separate booth while in the
center of the main booth is an exact
reproduction of an interurban ran-
wav. The cars is run just as the reg-
ular cars are run, i. e., by the use of the
overhead trolley wire and the trolley.
When the trolley is taken from the wire
the lights go out and the car will not
run. An electric fountain in the cen-
ter of the track adds much to the at-
tractiveness of the exhibit.

For the lovers of art the art exhibit,
