"We find that this appalling crime
was committed contrary to interna
tional law and the conventions of all
civilized nations.
"We slso charge the officers of aald
submarine and the emperor and govern
ment of Germany, under whose orders
they acted, with the crime of wholesale

; port side and hoard Fecond Officer Hf
ford enll out: 'Here's? a torpedo.'-
"I ran to the other slds and saw clearly
the wake of a torpedo. Smoke and steam

There was a slight shock. Immediately
after the first explosion there wss an
other report, but that may possibly have
been Internal.
Orders Boats Lowered.
"I at once gave the order to lower the
toata down to the rails and I directed
that women and children should get Into
them.
"I also had all the bulkheads closed."
Captain Turner continued. "Between the
t'me of passing Fastnet, at about 11
o'clock, and of the torpedoing . I st.w'no
sign whatever of any submarines. There
was some haze along the Irish coast and
when wo were near Fastnet I, flowed

Thousands of people lined the walks.

LAWYERS CAUSE LAW'S DELAY
WASHINGTON, May 10, -r Labor 'and the
law was the topto today .befbre the In
dustrial Relations commission, 'with Chief
Justice Walter Clark of the North Caro
lina supreme court the first ' witness.'
Courts, Justice Clark thought., were in
clined to favor corporations ; In . litiga
tion with a poor man, because judges and
lawyers have not kept pace' with protrcs
tlve legislation and the trend of publlo
opinion.
"What is responsible for, the apparent
reluctanoe of laboring men as Individuals
and labor organisations to submit issues
to the courts?" asked Chairman Walsh.
"My observation Is," said Justice Clark,
"that as a rule the courts are. alow to
adopt progressive economic idcaa In ad
vance of legislation Courts ordinarily
are composed of elderly men. Most of
'hem as lawyers have been employed by
great corporations and when they reach
the bench they are unconsciously biased
by the views they held at the bar."
"How can this be modified?"
. "Only by the slow process of education
and development of public opinion. As
older men. psss away their places on the
bench may be taken by younger men
Imbued with progressive ideas of the
time."
Justice Clark contended "economic In
terest of lawyers In extending the delays
of the law" was one of the principal
causes of delay of justice, which often
becomes a denial of Justice.
"Can that not be cured by legislation?"
aaked Commissioner Lennon.
"Every time any such legtslstlon ap
pears," said Justice Clark, "either in a.
state legislature or In congress, there are
lobbyists at work to defeat any proposal
that would deprive defendants of the ad
vantage of delay. And all of the lobby
ists are not In the lobby. Many are in
the scats of the house and senate."
Referring to court decisions against
boycotts of dealers by jobbers and man
ufacturers. Commissioner Welnstock
asked if Justice Clark did . not believe
labor boycotts also should be held Illegal.
"No, sir," said the Justice. "The la
borer and the capitalist are not on a
partly. The laborer, with his wife and
children to support. Is not In the same
economic position as Rockefeller and
Carnegie."

ATLANTA. 0 May 10. Leo M.
rTank today was resentenced to bo

1 murder of Mary Thagan. Before sen
tence was pronounced he made this
statement:
"Again I stand before you. Again
1 can but reiterate that 1 am Inno
cent of the murder of Mary Fhagan.
I have absolutely no guilty knowledge
of that tragic occurrence.
"1 am Innocent of this charge and
I assert that the record of the evi
dence conclusively proves this. Xo
appelate tribunal has ever passed
upon this evidence. The only Judge
who has ever heard it stated that he
had the most serious doubts as to
my guilt
"My execution will not avenge
Mary Phagan's death. A life will hav
been taken for a life, but the real cul
prit will not have paid the penalty.
I will suffer for another's crime.
"My trust Is In God, who know
that tny protestations of Innocence
are the truth. At some future datf,
the whole mortal world will reallxe

know it some day, that inspires ma

"In the light of the whole truth I
know and the Almighty God knows
that the morality of my position in

The first stage of the battle of West
Galicia has been virtually concluded.
The victorious troops unaer the lead
of the German general, August von
Mackenzen, after successfully break
ing through all three fortified lines
of the Russian front, are asaemblylng
and reforming for a new offensive.
They are bringing forward supplies
left behind In their rapid advance and
also are using the Interval to gather
the captured Russians behind their
present front and seek for abandoned
guns and other spoils of war in the
mountain forests. ' e
Seventy thousand prisoners already have
been brought In. Tha number of prisoners
In this part of tho battle In Omlicla, will
be Increased, it Is estimated hero,' by
St',000. Between sixty and seventy guns
have been captured, but as waa the case
ia tha battle of the Masurian lakes In
February, It is believed It Is Only a
small part of the guns left behind In

The second stage of the operation Is
beginning further to the esst, the second
Austro-liungarlan army having stormed

northern slopes between Luqkow . and
