(By ROBERT J. BENDER, United Prcw Staff Cormpondent) t Washington, April 19. 'Unless the Imperial German government should immediately declare and effect the - abandonment of the present methods of warfare against passenger and freight carrying vessels, this government; will have no choice but to sever diplomatic relations with the government of the German Empire altogether," the President told Congress this afternoon. The conclusion of a fifteen-minute address. "This decision has been arrived at with the keenest regret. The possibility of the action contemplated I am sur(?f thoughtful Americans will look forward to with un affected reluctance." ' . This was the President's ultimatum to Germany, is considered ' as final. . Mr. Wilson cited the German announcement of Feb ruary 15, declaring its intention to destroy enemy ship- ping, the American protests which charged Germany Vith "ruthless disregard of assurances and wanton, un justified wholesale, sacrifice of lives of non-combatants both passengers and crews' of the Sussex, Climax, Lusi tania, and Arabic, among the ships attacked were unarm ed. - - . "No limit of any kind has been set on the indiscrimi nate pursuit of the destruction of , mere nantmen oi ai kinds and nationalities." said the President. The "roll o Americans who lost their lives in ships thus attacked and destroyed lias grown until the ominous toll mounts to nunareas. ine latest ana most snocKing instance, me destruction of the Sussex stands for this, like the Lusi tania case: singularly tragical, the unjustifiable, and constituting a terrible example of the inhumanity of the , submarine warfare which commanders of German ves- . els have conducted. ? I had hoped against hope that the German government would prove its assurance in good faith.? The facts are now susceptible of but one inter pretation. It is painfully evident that the use of the sub marines to destroy enemv nronertv is incompatible w ith the principles of humanity, long established, and the in controvertible rights of : neutrals, sacred immunities of non-combatants. My duty is to inform the German gov- , ernmenv mat u , its poncy continues uie uiuveu ouue must break off diplomatic relations." Responsibility Confronting President Washington, April 19.

What he would say only Mr. Wilson knew beforehand He gave no one advance information. The galleries were crowded. There is little hope that Germany; will meet the de mands. Ambassador Von Bernstorff is still hopeful of a peaceful settlement, however. There is some belief stil that he will give Germany another cnance. The Mexican situation also is acute. The Presiden and Secretary Baker were informed in an official repon from Funston today that the Carranzistas had failed to aid in the Villa hunt The disagreement of the House and Senate over the Army and Sugar bills also is up to President Wilson. He has his hands full. The Senate Army bill's passage is considered an indication that Congress and the country are ready to back the President whatever is undertaken, Nanking members of the foreign relations committees conferred with Mr. Wilson this morning. A serious calm prevailed throughout Washington. It was considered improbable that the President would break off relations without an ultimatum first Note Virtually ; An Ultimatum.

(Daily Fret Preas, April 20) The coroner's jury In (the inquest Into tha death of Harry Stein Wed nesday night declared ' that Stein cama to his death from a gun shot wound, Inflioted by Margaret Partel- lo. , i:,; Lata in the afternoon Recorder Wooten in City Court admitted the woman to ball in tha sum of f 1,500. She will be tried In Superior Court next month. Wltneasea examined at the hearing in court were Dr. J. M. Parrott, Po liceman Hamilton and a delicatessen proprietor named Coodkowitz, and Coroner Wood and hie jury, sitting in City Hall, heard atatemenU by Dr. Parrott and J, S. May.' Hamilton told of conversation with tha wo man in which aha atated that Stein had beaten and kicked her and had threatened to HU her. Goodkowiti gava an accocat of a statement by Stein to hinvt Dr. Parrott; who at tended tha victim from the time of the shooting on March 29 until his death Tuesday, atated that death was caused by infection of the periton eum from the wound in Stein's abdo men May's statement at the cor oner' Inquest we little,, stronger than that of Goodkowiti to the Re corder. Stein told him at the Parrott Memorial Hospital, he said, Ithat thf woman insisted that he marry her. that he tried to explain to her that he waa not in position tfeo take a wife, and that she shot him as he , was leaving the house. The State may assert In the prose cution of the case before Superior Court Hhat Margaret Partello sent for Stein with the intention of secur ing his promise to marry her or kill ing him, and that she held the fatal revolver in her hand when the man entered her house in South Kinston (Daily Free Press, April 19) The preliminary hearing in the case ( against Margaret Partello, now charged with the shooting of Harry Slein, who died in Parrott Memorial Hospital early Tuesday, was post poned from 10 a. m. to 4 p. m. today, The inquest is expected to be held. tonight at 8 o'clock. It is not believ ed that new evidence will be secured to offset the woman's self-defense story, in effect that Stein had kicked and beaten and advanced on her with a drawn knife before she shot him, on the night of March 29. She may secure bail by habeas corpus. The funeral of Stein was held this morning shortly before 11 o'clock, in terment being in the Jewish ceme tery. Stein was a member of the lo cal Masonic and Woodmen . of the World lodges, and the Fire Depart ment, and members of those organi sations attended the funeral. Gen tile friends sat up with the remains during the night According to Aaron Adler, who will administer upon Stein's eatate. the young man was not very well off. Mr. Adler believes that aside from a $1,000 insurance policy most of the personal property, about $2,000 and considerable of H in collectible ac counts, will go to creditors. The in surance money, he states, will go to a sister. Miss Kosa Stein, in Russia. Stein has an uncle in New York but the relativf was not here for the funeral.:-. -' Avv-;' : ;-vsv' Stein made no statement before death which could be used for evi dence against the Partello girl, it is said.

"Persons are ridiculing my attempt to bring to trial members of that mob,". Colonel Shaw said, "without stopping to consider that the law makes the investigation and further action if possible, my bounden duty,' "I have not given up the effort, and shall not until I accomplish something," he. declared. He would not say that he had secured any "likely" evidence. German Was Not Connect ed With Embassy Until 1915, Says Welland Plot In Previous Year Would Have Been Immune, Said (By the United Press) ; Washington, April 19. Am bassador Von Bernstorff confer red this afternoon with Secreta ry Lansing. Mr, Lansing order ed the return of . papers seized from Wolf Von Igel, at New York. The embassy , requested the release of Igel. Von Bern storff considers the case equal in importance to the Sussex affair. New York, April 19 The arrest of Wolf Von Igel, former secretary to Captain Von Papen, and seizure of papers alleged to reveal the Welland Canal dynamiting plot, have assumed ;he nature of international complica tions. If Igel was attached to the German embassy when the alleged crime was committed he is immune.

W, Whedbw of Greenville, who will preside over the term. Judge Whedbee has been in Snow Hill investigating tne sentiment at that place, and was informed : by many persons, it is said, that there is a probability that Black will be lynched, as was his father week be fore last for incendiary remarks, if he is sent from the State prison without a military guard. Troops will be sent on a special train from K'nston, it is supposed. ' If necessa ry, two companies from Goldsbom will be ordered to the Greene county seat.
