October C.
LONDON, Oct. 21, 4:45 p. m. A
newspaper correspondent at Dover,
has sent to London soino details of
the recent oporntlons of British war
ships off tho coast of nelglum. Ho
snys that last Saturday night the
ships watched a force of Germans
digging trenches along the coast un
der a flare of lights. This enabled
tho Kngllsli boats to get the exact
range, and at daylight shelled the
enemy's positions heavily.
A Taube aeroplane was brought
down and later a Zeppelin, and It Is
declared that the guns of tho British
vessels accounted for 1C00 Germans
In killed and wounded In addition to
putting six batteries of artillery out
of action. In the meantime German
submarines tried in vain to Blnk the
British ships.
This dltpatch is not confirmed.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21. As tho
Rockefeller, one of tho vessels In
terfered with and seized, was flying
the American flag, the government
considers tho Interference unwar
waranted.
The protest waa made to tie Brit
ish government through Ambassador
Page at London, who was Instructed
to ask for tho Immediate release of
tho Rockefeller.
It war understood tlmt the prc.ti
dent hns taken the position that vig
orous efforts should be made to pro
tcct vcslcls flyh-g the American flag
from seizure, in cases vherointerna
tionnl law docs not give the right.
In cases where ships formerly un
der foreign registry, transferred to
American regis.tr', are seized, iGe"
government will inquire whether the
transfer was bonn fide and once that
is established, will do its utmost to
protect American ship-owners carry
ing on lawful trade.
It was learned later that the Brit
ish government has declared illumin
ating oil contraband, but notification
has not yet been sent to neutral
countries. The British point of view
is tint t illuminating oil can be used
in the propelling of Zeppelins, subma
rines and destroyers, and it wax
pointed out that within the Inst
month there has bcetii significant in
crease in the amount of oil shipped
from the United States to neutral
countries.
NEGRO MAID STAB WITNESS
(Continued from Page 1)
I told Mr. Levy that I didn't know
unytlunc.
"Mr. Levy came again tho next
day. Before he came Mrs. Carman
told me to tell him 1 was not down
stairs after dinner. Sho wrote out
some statement and I signed it with
out reuding it. He 'rend it, however.
The statement was not true.
"The day after tho murder, Mrs.
Cannun came into the kitchen and
aikcd me to moke a wood fire in the
stove, which I did.- Later she came
downstuirs with a bundle of letters
and burned them in tho fire. That
sumo dtiy she told me to call her
father from the barn, because she
wanted him to get the revolver out of
the house. Mr. Couklin, lier father,
came in and went to her room and
then came downstairs again, lie had
a hammer with him. Iiw returned to
the barn. The next day, Wednesday,
Mrs. Cunnan came into the kitchen
and asked mo to step into the office.
I went in and detectives began
ijuestion me."
Admits Ferjury
"Did you tell tho trutlt.at the cor-J
onors uiquestY" tho district attorney
asked.
"I did not," the witness answered.
The district, attorney, then turned
ma witness over 10 donn j. urauam
Mrs. Carman's counsel, for cross-examination.
A crowd tlmt eclipsed the previous
day's throng Bought to enter ' the
courtroom Joilny in anticipation of
heurinir the uiaid tell her story. Less
than iiOQ twru able to to so, uni
theso wero ncarlv all women.
As Cella testified,. Mrs, Carman
eat well back In hor chair and never
once took her eyes from tho witness.
On cross examination Cella said
she never had seon Mrs. Carman wear
her kimono downstairs before. Mrs.
Carman stood In tho kitchen ten pr
fifteen minutes before sho passed out
of the back door, and that tho crush
of xlaw and the shot occurred Im
mediately afterward.
Fail to Hhuko Story
"IM4 0H know whom dip meant
wkwt tike Mid 'J whut hlniT'" Mr,
QtkH NfktMl, "So, I did not."
Mrs. Carman carried the revolver,
the witness said, hidden in the folds
of her kimono, -when sho went Into
the office. Mrs. Carman said noth
ing to anyone, ho added. Sho
looked in and went out in about 30
seconds. Mrs. Carman did not ex
press surprise when sho discovered
she had killed a woman and not a
man.
Cella said sho told Mrs. Carman
the morning after the murder that
"God will forgive anj thing but mur
der." "Do you," asked Mr. Graham, "be
lieve that God will forget your perjury:"
"I know It Is wrong to He," said
the negress, "but I did what Mrs.
Carman asked me to do."
"You arc afraid of going to Jail
or c5rlimltting" perjury, too, aren't
you?"
Promised Protection
"Yes sir. Mr. Smith (tho district
attorney? toldJme I could go to Jail
for lying."
Cella testified on cross examina
tion that when she was being brought
from Frceport to Mlneola to go be
fore the grand Jury, Dr. Carman told
her not to change her testimony and
that "he would take care of her."
Mrs. Carman, she continued, gave
her an extra f 5 a few days after the
murder.
"That la for keeping your mouth
shut," tho witness Bald Mrs. Carman
told her.
For nn hour and half Mr. Graham
altirnnteley shouted at Celin and
pleaded with her, seeking to make
her vary her story. She admitted
that she was living in Xcw York City
at the expense of Nassau county and
also that she had testified falsely
in many respects nt the coroner's
inquest. But she explained that she
had done so to shield Mrs. Cannun,
and the admission apparently 'did not
disturb her equanimity.
The noon recess was taken with
Celin still on the stand.
LONDON, Oct. 21, 10:10 a. m. A
comparison of thq official reports
from Paris and Berlin leads to tho
conclusion that all along the western
battle front In Franco nud Belgium
tho Germans have resumed tho of
fensive, with their supremo efforts
directed against the allies' left.
The news supplementing theso of
ficial communications, however, indi
cate that on the left at least tho al.
lies arc not acting merely on the de
fensive. Tho great turning movement Is
undoubtedly developing through the
corner of Belgium bounded by France
and the sea, but the public remains
In a haze as to whether tho turning
movement Is on the par? of tho allies
or Is a German operation
Sock Port of Dunkirk
The Impression grows that the
Germans are determined to add Dun
kirk to the line of scaporu now held
along the Belgian coast and tho al
lies are making desperate efforts to
hurl them back.
Late reports through Dutch sources
declare that the Germans have been
repulsed six miles from Ostcnd and
that guns are now heard near that
city. Other late reports which lack
confirmation, say the Germans have
abandoned Bruges. If these reports
are true It would indicate that tho
allies are meeting with some success
In their efforts to re-occupy tho sea
coast.
Tho movements along tho coast
contlnuo to bo moro or less In the
nature of reconnalsancea, while tho
aim of the fighting on the allies' left
centers around Lille, because its
railroad and highway connections
are of vital strategic Importance to
the Germans. From Lille two roads
run out, one northerly to Armcntleres
and the other southerly to Fournes
through a country which Is thickly
populated.
Meager Advices
The French report contents itsolf
with the assertion that these roads
are held by strong forces of Germans,
while the Berlin communication
claims a victory on them. Tho oper
ations along these roads may also
merely be a reconnalsance movement
checked by the Germans but all re
ports agrco that the German resist-
lance at Lille continues to bo of the
most stubborn nature.
Only the most meager advices ar
rive as to the eastern war area, but
It Is clear that the Russians are at
least holding their own. Both sides
are evidently entrenching and the
Vistula river region promises to be
come another battle of the Alsne.
LONDON? Oct. 21, ,r:'J'J n. in.
The correspondents of tho London
newspapers in the field huo Kile
eeeded today in getting through some
details of the fighting along the chan
nel coast in Belgium. The reports
agree that the Germans have met with
u reverse and it is said the Germans
are retreating.
The Belgian correspondent of the
Telegraph, in his account of tho
lighting, reports that British wor
ships bombarded villages which Ger
mans 1 1 ml occupied, and also the
country to the south of theso places.
"Then the onler was given for the
infantry to advance," he snvs, "And
the rattle of machine guns supple
mented the noise of the naval guns.
The Germans wero caught between
two fires and their lino began to
waver and slowly gae way before
the pressure of the infantry.
"The strength of the attack was
then iuci eased and soon the whole
Genuau line resting on the const wus
in full retreat."
