CHINESE TO OPEN
STEAMSHIP LINE
JAPANESE TO HAVE COJiFETI
TIOX OX PACIFIC.
Shanghai to Be Terminal and Hono
lulu Will Be Port or Call
In Both Directions.
WASHINGTON. July 14. A Chinese
steamship line to operate from Shang
hai and other - Southern China ports
to the United States is about to be
stablished to compete with the Japan,
se lines, which now dominate the
trans-Pacific trade, according to ad-
ices received by the bureau of for-
ign and domestic commerce.
The Pacific trade is seriously dis
turbed because of the recent order re
serving for the use of Japanese ship-
ers all space in ships under subsidy
from the Japanese government.
According to the bureau advices.
Fung Sui, representing a syndicate of
Chinese capitalists, in on hie way to
the United States to close contracts
for material to construct a fleet of five
vessels for freight and passenger serv-
ce. The shlp will make Shanghai a
terminal point and it is expected that
the service will be extended to Hong
kong and Manila. Honolulu will be a
port of call on both East and West
bound trips.
In order to take advantage of the
congested freight situation in the Far
East, due to the withdrawal of space
n Japanese ships, the report says, two
vessels probably will be bought in
the near future to start the new serv-
ce.

JURY OF ADVISERS
FINDS THAW IS SANE
Judge to Announce De
cision Tomorrow.
VERDICT IS REACHED QUICKLY
Arguments on Final Phases to
Be Heard Today.
STATE HINTS AT APPEAL
Prisoner and His Mother Shake
Hands With Members of Jury and
Mrs. Thaw Saya She Never
Doubted Outcome.
NEW YORK, July 14. Harry Ken
dall Thaw today was declared sane by
a Jury which for nearly three weeks
listened to testimony given In the Su
preme Court here before Justice Hen-
drick. Forty-eight minutes were con-
umed and two ballots were taken In
reaching a verdict.
Justice Hendrick will announce on
rrlday whether the commitment on
which Thaw waa Incarcerated in the
State Hospital for the Criminal Insane
at Matteawan shall be vacated, thereby
giving to the slayer of Stanford White
the liberty for which he has fought lu
the courts for nine years.
Crowd Expects Quick Verdict.
It was at the end of a day of ad
dresses by counsel and the charge of
he justice that the jury retired. While
the 1! men were deliberating the crowd
in the courtroom and about the court
house waa augmented by scores of peo
pie who believed that a verdict would
be found quickly.
Shortly before 4 o'clock a bailiff
came from the jury-room and informed
Justice Hendrick that a verdict had
been reached. The doors were locked
and Justice Hendrick. ascending the
bench, warned the spectators that any
demonstration would be met with se
vere punishment. Then the jury came
In. In reply to a question by the clerk
of the court whether a verdict had
been reached, the foreman handed over
a sheet of legal paper which waa passed
to the justice on the bench. Justice
Hendrick read it and handed It back
to the clerk.
Jary's Answer Is "Yea.''
'Gentlemen of the jury," said the
clerk, "the question you have been
asked Is this: 'Is Harry K. Thaw now
sane? Your answer is "Yea"
Despite the warning, several persons
stood nj In front of their seats. The
courtroom hummed like a dynamo. Jus.
tlce Hendrick and a doxen court at
tendants rapped for order.
Meanwhile Thaw, who, until the ver
dict was announced, sat at the counsel
table with his chin resting In a band
kerchief, had turned around and
grasped the hands of several of his
counsel. Then he went to where his
mother was sitting a few feet away.

WASHINGTON. July 14. American

Britain stop Interfering with their car
goes consigned to neutral ports and
settle for 1 14.000.000 worth of their
products now held up in prise courts.
They charge the British government
with the destruction of commerce In

and other neutral nations.
After two conferences between the
packers and Chandler Anderson, special
counselor or the State Department. It
was announced that the Department
would make representations to Great
Britain.

It Is understood that this would be
done immediately, the communication

general subject of Interference with
neutral trade under the order In coun

which soon Is to be made the subject of
another note.
The packers will dlacuss their diffi
culties further with Mr. Anderson to
morrow. In a statement tonight out
lining their case aa laid before the De

government purposely delays settle
mcnle of their claims for seised car

their shipments to ports designated.

The statement gives the history of

Wednesdays War Moves
DESPITE the action of the govern
ment In applying the munitions of
war act to the coal mining Industry,
which will make the mlnera subject
to severe fines If they strike. It Is
practically certain that a large num
ber of men will stop work In South
Wales tomorrow, thus curtailing the
supply of coal for naval vessels.
The Federation of Miners ef the
United Kingdom, the labor leaders and
the general public, on whose eupport
the miners would depend to make the
strike a success, are all urging them
to continue work until an agreement
can be reached, but the executive coun
cil of the South Wales union, by a
majority vote, refused to support this
recommendation and a large rropor
lion of the men are preparing to lay
down their tool.
It !s believed In Britain, however,
that the strike will not last long, as
the men themselves are divided and
the South Wales union has not the
funds to finance a long struggle. The
Miners Federation of the United King,
dom. after Its recommendation, la not
likely to assist them from Its ax
chequer. There Is also a possibility
that the government will nilltxe the
miners who enlisted In the army and
who have not yet left the country to
work the mines.
This dispute, which puts In jeopardy
the work of the Nary, occupies the
public mind In England above all other
matters, and tl.e official reports of the
fighting In the east and west take sec

conflict In the Argonne, where, the
German official communication asserts.
