ports that Italian consuls were gradu

officials were taking over the task
of looking out for Italian Interests.
Iter charges were made that the Ot-
toman government wa preventing the
consuls from leaving and that similar
coercion was being exerted over Ital
ian civlllana who wished to quit Turk

On July 20 advices came from Rome
that the Italian government had ad

Main hope was pinned on the report

WASHINGTON. Aug. Z4. All Am

have made affidavit that they saw the

the White Star liner. Officials an
nouncement to this effect was received

Administration officials wyte still
awaiting further facts today, but were
preparing to sever all diplomatic rela

ter read. Dugger began an investiga

a man named John Dugger was ar
rested and fined for chicken stealing
In the recorder's court. Ills mother
