On February 7 Secretary of State Lansing made the following statement in connec tion with the Lusitania case: "All I wish to say is that this gov ernment has not increased its de mands in the Lusitania case as set forth in the notes, of May 13, June 9 and July 21. I doubt very much if Dr. Zimmerman ver made such a statement because he must know it was utterly false." This was in reference to a state ment attributed to Dr. Alfred Zimmer man, under secretary of foreign af fairs in an interview with the Asso ciated Press published on February 4, in which lies aid: "I do not understand America's course. We thought the submarine issue settled In the Lusitania Question on a way to settlement an agree ment on indemnity and all that when the United States suddenly made its new demands." When Secretary Lansing's state ment was Issued the Associated Press cabled its Berlin correspondent for confirmation of the Zimmerman state ment. Today that correspondent cabled the following: Berlin, Feb. KWThe text of the in terview with Dr. Zimniermann was approved .by him before it was cabled.

I'arrish, counsel for Samuel 1 ("htlnty, condemned to death on March 3, roturned from Raleigh Wednesday flight where he appeared before Jnntice I'lark in tho interest of his client, aHktng for a writ of error to the Supremo court of the United States. Messrs. Jones & Clement, counsel for Mrs. Ida Ball Warren, also joined in the petition, Mr. I'arrish representing them before tho court. The petition was based upon tho contention that the evidence upon which the State relied for conviction was admitted to tho court in violation of federal constitution. Judge Clark refused the petition on the ground: First: That at the time the confes sions were offered in evidence the defendant did not object upon the ground tlint it was contrary to the Constitution. Judge Clark held that It was the practice for tho defendant to have objected on that ground, and to have noted his exception to the Introduction of the evidence. In this caso the record shows that the ad mission of the confession of Christy was objected to on the ground that it was not voluntary, and after tho evidence was in, a motion was made to strike from the record the confes sion on the ground before set forth on the further ground that it was unlawfully obtained. This matter had been discussed with the counsel for Mrs. Warren and they were of the opinion Uiat tho ob jection aa set forth in the record was sufficient. The second ground upon which the writ of error was refused, wag that the first ten amendments to the Fed eral Constitution are restrictions upon the Federal government only and in no way affect the States. Judge Clark cited State vs. Patterson, 134, In which the Supreme court of this State laid down their doctrine, but counsel for the defendants relied upon the case that went up from the Supreme court of New York, Adams vs. People of New York, reported in 172 United States. In the case, Adams was Indicted for conducting a gamb ling game known as "policy, the officers of the law under a warrant went in the place conducted by him, and took with them the gambling oarapliernalia and letters in the pos session of Adams, and also some "pol icy" checks. Counsel for Adams ob jected to this on tho ground tnat it was an -unlawful search of the prem ises of Adams, and also forced him to give testimony against himself, which was in contravention of the fourth and fifth articles of the amend ments to the Constitution, and that the fourteenth amendment forbids any State from passing any law de priving citizens of the States ot any right, privilege or Immunity granted to citizens of the United States, and that the fourteenth amendment made the fourth and fifth amendments pro hibitions upon States as well as upon Cnited Stat.es. The Supreme court, in discussing this matter. Justice Day writing the opinion. Bald that they did not feel that the Supreme court was called upon to discuBS the rela tion that the fourteenth amendment bore to the fourth and fifth amend ments, and added further that the search of which the defendant com plained and evidence which he was forced to give against himself was not In violation of the fourth and fifth articles, and since it was not in violation of the fourth and fifth articles it did not become necessary to determine the relationship that the fourteenth amendment bore to the fourth and fifth amendments. The attorneys believe that. If the exception is sufficient, as shown in (Continued on page two.)
