NEW YORK. Aug. 15. Before a repre
sentative jury of prominent men, with
Daniel Frohman as foreman, all the pris
oners, with the exception of Lieutenant
Becker Involved In the murder of Herman
Rosenthal, the gambler, were arraigned
today before Coroner Felnberg for the
formal Inquest Into the murder. But at
the request of Assistant .District Attorney
Frank Moss, who said that "a practically
complete case has been made out against
all the defendants by the grand Jury now
In session," the hearing was postponed
until August 22.
The grand Jurors, however, notified
District Attorney Whitman that they did
not feel warranted In returning further
Indictments charging murder In the first
degree until they had heard more evi
dence. This, evidence, tt was expected,
would come from Sam Schepps, now on
his way from Hot Springs.
The grand jury was excused until next
Tuesday afternoon after It had failed to
find any Indictments.
The coroner's inquest was late in get
ting under way. Many prominent men
appeared in court on the panel of jurors.
Daniel Frohman, the theatrical manager,
was foreman, and among others on the
panel who signified their willingness o
serve were Arthur Heinze, J. B. Harri
man, Harry Duryea and F. W. Duryea.
Coroner Feinberg presided and "Dago

court. The understanding was that tha'
proceedings would be adjourned, in view

Woman Who Killed
Husband Has New
Style of Defense
CHICAGO, Aug. 15.-Mrs. Florence
Bernstein, the 22-year-old widow, on trial
for killing her husband, was ready today
to testify In her own defense.
"Furore transltoria' was to be the plea
of the prisoner, according to her counsel.
Her testimony promised to be sensational.
"Furore transltoria," Mrs. Bernstein's'
counsel explained, is a state of mental
aberration, the result of violent hysteri
cal agitation.
Mrs. Margaret Lavialo, ah Italian inter
preter, testified that she had overheard
a conversation between Mrs. Bernstein
and her husband In a police station tome
days before the shooting, In which Mrs.
Bernstein pleaded with her husband to
return to her.
"It's breaking my heart to give you
up. Haven't I always loved you and
haven't I been good to you? Please come
home," was Mrs. Bernstein's plea, ac
cording to the witness.
Dressed In mourning, Mrs. Bernstein
took the witness stand and told of her
early married life. She frequently broke
down and cried.
. Mrs. Bernstein testified that on Janu
ary 1, 1900, when she refused to attend a
wedding with her husband, he struck her
and Internally injured her.
"And when I asked him to send for
doctor," she said, "he refused."
She also testified that her husband
wanted to leave her, and after "making
up" he promised to buy a pair of ear
rings, but when she learned that he In
tended borrowing the money to buy them
she refused to wear them and he became
angry and left her.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-The collier
Justin, the State department learned to
day, arrived at Corlnto yesterday with
350 marines under command of Major
Smedley Butler, who reported at once to
the senior officer, Captain Terhune. com
manding the gunboat Annapolis, who has
been given full authority to deal with the
military situation in Nicaragua as it af
fects American Interests. It is believed
thatthls marine force was at once dis
patched td Managua, a six-hour run over
the railroad from Corlnto. Because of
delayed cable advices to the Navy and
State departments officials here can only
conjecture what happened after the ar
rival of the marines in the Nlcaraguan
capital.
How1 this force has been used depends
entirely upon the will of American Min
ister Weitzel, but as he has already pro
tested to the rebels , against the bom
bardment W Managua, filled as It is with
women and children and noncombatants.
it Is believed he has driven the insurgents
away from their-positions and stopped
the firing. If his force is not sufficient
for this purpose, officials feei assured
that he will hold the city until reinforce
ments from Panama or the bluejackets
of the Denver, now en route to Corlnto,
can be placed at his disposal.
t'ncie Sam Declare Himself.
The State department has let it be
understood that It does not propose to
tolerate (his lawless shelling and killing
of helpless wo; men and children and en
dangering American lives and seizing and
destroying American property.' The offi
cer are quite emphatic In pointing out
that General' Mena, the head of the revo
lution, has completely alienated the sym
pathies of' this government by . his con
duct of the rebellion. '
Belated cablegrams received at the
State department from American Minister
weitsel give a vivid picture of the con
flict at Mahgua,"Which began last Sun
day morning when General Zeledori, in
command .of the rebel Wees around
Managua, opened fire on the" city from
the. vicinity of Mombtombo. At 4 o'clock
in the- afternoon insurgent officers. Gen
eral i Mulllo and ' Colonel Rostran, at
tacked' the penitentiary with Infantry
and rapid fire guns In an ' attempt to
liberate -the. prisoners and at 8 o'clock.
100 .men, under-cover, of artillery fire,
attempted' to .enter the city from the
lake, but we . repulsed and twenty-five
of. them captured. Throughout the night
firing continued at intervals.
Of the rebels, Zeledon had 800; Thomas,
600 and Murlllo, 500, while the govern
ment forces . under General Emlllo
Chamorra, were about 3,600. The govern
ment firing line In the east .under com
mand 'of General Frutos 'Belanco faced
Zeledoi's division and ' received . the
brunt of the firing.
At' 6' o'clock Monday morning Zeledon
renewed' the attack, firing shell and solid
Bhot from a three-inch rifle, called the
'Heraldo," into the city at the rate of
twenty an hour. Only one projectile
reached the executive mansion a.n'd the
president -and his cabinet continued to
perform their official duties. The Chilian

PRESENT FORM SATISFACTORY
ChiDgri Ma4 by Conference Com
mittee Meet ' Objection to the
Discrimination Against
British Ships.
WASHINGTON. Aug. IS. It Is said to
be reasonably certa'n that no further pro
test will be made by Great Britain on
behalf of English merchantlle interests
against the Panama canal bill If tt finally
takes the form reported yesterday from
the conference committee. The British
objection was laid against discrimination
against British shipping. As such ship
ping Is not now privileged to enter Into j
the American coastwise trade, which
alone Is to receive favored treatment In
the canal, that objection is overcome.
It is regarded as possible, however.
that in defense to Cnnada the British
government may be led to object to the
prohibition against those railroad owned
ships, but State department officials are
confident that objection would not hold
under the treaty, as the prohibition Is to
apply to American vessels as well as
others and there could be no charge of
discrimination there.

he was unable to proceed until additional

BULLETIN.
WASHINGTON. Aug. lfi.-The house by
a vote of 153 to 107 today refused to pass
the legislative, executive and Judicial ap
propriation bill over President Taf t' veto.
Majority Leader Underwood was unable
to hold his followers and many voted
with the republicans.
WASHINGTON. Aug. U.-Presldent
Taft today returned to the house with a
veto message the legislative, executive
and Judicial appropriation bill, because of
Its amendments to abolish the commerce
court and limit the tenure of office of '
civil service employes to seven years. Tho
cabinet read and approved the message
early today.
The president's veto Is sure to extend
the session of congress. Some members
of the house believes the bill can be
passed over his disapproval, as were the
wool and steel tariff bills. None of the
leaders, however, think that would be
possible In the senate. One effect of Mr.
Taffa veto of the bill today Is to hold
up his own pay, that of every member
of congress, every federal Judge and
every employe of the United States
courts. Some leaders have proposed a
plan of passing a resolution to extend
11 of last year's appropriations to De
cember 2, and adjourn congress without
passing the bill.
