to make a report We did not tell him to do anything butj to pay a sK of courtesy and report what he found Great Interest Felt Officials manifested great interest In the attempt to learn exactly what the activities jof the Japanese vessels have been In Lower California While believing nothing of a permanent character is being established the Japanese American naval offleSrs have no doubt that the

Is understood that the Baldwin Locomotive Works has received an order for 201000000 of war materials This order is separate from the one secured from Russia yesterday by the American Locomotive Company Details are not available but will be made public in a few days It was learned today that about 130 000000 of the J65000000 order given by the Russian government to the American Locomotive Company would be sublet to other companies Names of Concerns Mentioned The companies mentioned are the New York Air Brake Company and the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company although It is con sidered not impossible that the General Electric Company may also come in for a share of the business Prominent officials of the General Electric Company have conferred with bankers on the matter The contract will stand good even though hostilities in Europe should cease long before delivery Is made of all the war material Reports of Other Big Orders It is known that there are other large orders for war material pending and it would not be surprising If announcement of the conclusion of negotiations by other corporations not yet mentioned would be made In the near future Reports were current today that the Railway Steel Spring Company had received an order for a substantial amount of shrapnel GETS AMERICAN REGISTRY Archbishop Ireland May Get Red Hat at Consistory in May Pope in Solemn Allocution Will Explain Attitude of Neutrality Observed by Holy See Special to The WaiMngton Poit Memphis Tenn April 17 The Jury which tried Mrs Frances Wilson for the murder of Capt Inman decided that she was innocent of the charge and allowed her to go free thus signifying Its belief in her statement and demonstration of what transpired in Inmans room when she was there alone with him on February 8 The scene in the death room was graphically enacted before Judge Edg Jngton and the Jury by Mrs Wilson who web permitted to again handle the revolver with which Inman was killed It ts said that her success in this demonstration is the basis of her declared intention xo go on the stage Evidence Circumstantial The States case was built entirely upon circumstantial evidence and much was made by the prosecution of the fact that the young woman admittedly had strayed from the correct path laid out for her sex On the theory that she had persistently followed Inman and sought to prevent him from leaving her and returning to his wife and finally shot him as he slept in his room to accomplish her purpose the State asked for Mrs Wilsons conviction Mrs Wilson was th only witness to the tragedy This she admitted when she took the stand in her own defense But her story of the killing of Inman to which she held throughout her testimony differed materially from the hypothetical case which the State attempted to establish The girl said that Bhe went to the room of Inman and that he flourished a revolver and threatened to shoot her She tried to take the revolver from him and In the scuffle it was discharged and killed Inman she testified She made no attempt to excuse herself for being in InmanS room and her attorneys attacked the character of Inman Burns on Clothing Two witnesses testified that there were powder burns on the clothing of Inman indicating that the muisle of the revolver had been held very close to his body The nature of the wound the bullet having entered the right side at the point of the hip and coursed upward toward the left shoulder blade the defense contended indicated that it would not have been inflicted while Inman was asleep on his back as the State insisted unless the party doing the shooting had knelt This was un reasonable they argued On these facts the jury after deliberating 24 minutes returned a verdict of not guilty which was applauded by the crowd In the courtroom RUSSIA TRADE FOR 500000000 a Year Business Is Waiting to Be Taken MARKET SHUT TO GERMANY Coloured Editor Whom Wilson Practically OrderedTFrom White House
