ment made here today by Dr.

UNITBD I'HBSS i.CASED WIRB.l
Liverpool, Sept. 3. Fear of mem
bers of the New York police depart
ment, caused Thomas Coupe, eyewit
ness to the murder of Herman Rosen
thal, to renounce lute this evening his
determination to return to the Ameri
can metropolis and assist District At
torney Whitman to convict the sus
pected murderers.
"I do not believe my life would be
safe," he said. "The police are the
only ones who would be able to pro
tect me, and they are my enemies. I
shnll remain In England."
Earlier In the day, Coupe, who ar
rlyed here on the Bteamer Lusitania,
when approached by the Liverpool po
lice, agreed to return to New York and
testify against the men whom he says
lie saw shoot Rosenthal. Arrange
ments were completed for his return,
when he suddenly changed his mind.
Coupe convinced the authorities that
he really believed his life would be In
danger In New York, and the authori
ties did not insist that he go back. He
was not held here by the police, but
merely advised to give what assistance
he could to the New York district at
torney's office.
Coupe left for Preston tonight to
visit his father.
ENGLAND
OBJECTS TO
FREE TOLLS
London, Sept. 3. Conflicting state
ments from the foreign office concern
ing the course of action Great Rrltaln
Intends taking in the Panama free
tolls question was the general toi'lc
of discussion in diplomatic circles here
today.
It was announced yesterday that
England's demand for arbitration of
the clause providing free tolls for
American vessels engaged In .-oast-Tvise
business, was on Its ay to the
ftate department at Washington. To
day it was denied that a formal pro
test had been sent.
As England believes that the free
tolls clause is an open violation of the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty, a majority of
the diplomats here regard the former
statement as correct the theory being
that the foreign office doe not want
the facts made known nntl! tin de
mands are formally presented. The
exact Btatus of the case, however, Is
known only to a few officials and
they refuse to go Into detail. It is
generally believed that It has been de
cided to take the free tolls clause to
The Hague tribunal for final sel'le-rtient.
Fllnn Will Take a Hand.
Washington Sept. 3 The resigns
tlon of William J. Fllnn, as head of
the New York branch of the federal
Becret service, was recifved here this
afternoon, and accepted by Chief John
Wllkle. John Henry was appointed to
succeed Fllnn.
No reason was assigned for Fllnn'i
resignation, but it Is believed to have
been prompted by an offer to take
charge of the probe Into vice charges
against members of the New York City
u:ice department, brought to light by
the murder of Gambler Herman Ros
enthal.

Boston, Sept. 3. William M. Wood,
millionaire president of the Ameri
can Woolen company, who, from his
Boston office, Is said to have directed
the fight against the Lawrence textile
operatives, pleaded not guilty today to
a grand Jury Indictment which
charged him with implication In a
conspiracy to "plant" dynamite. The
Indictment contains six counts. Wood
pleaded not guilty to each. Ball In
$5000, which he furnished at the time
of his arrest, was continued by the
court. The date of the trial was not
Bet.
The Indictment against Wood fol
lowed closely upon the suicide of
Ernest Pitman, head of the W. W, Pit
man company. James Tlreen, recently
convicted at Lawrence of having
"planted" dynamite In the houses of
striking operatives during the great
Industrial struggle there, asserted
from the stand that Plttmnn and other
textile mill owners paid him to place
the explosives, hoping thereby to dis
credit unionism, and Injure the cause
of the strikers.
District Attorney Pelletler, of Bos
ton, admitted that a few hourB before
Plt.tman ended his llfo, the latter had
called at his office, and pleaded with
him to 'let up In his probe of the
Lawrence affair."
At the time of his arrest, Wood
ntnmped the charges against him as
absurd and ridiculous," but Pelletler
followed up his statement with tho
prediction that he would "not only
convict Wood, but several other mil
lionaire" as well.
Previous doubt as to the identity of
the third man Indicted with Wood whs
dispelled todny when Frederick At
teaux, president of. a company fur
nishing the Lawrence mills with sup
piles and accessories, appeared and
pleaded not guilty. He also was re
leased In $.",000 ball.
