Pa., Jan. 7.—After a posse of farmers headed by half a dozen reformatory guards, the sheriff and several constables, had scoured the hills and valleys of upper Hunt ingdon county all night in search of Adam Snyder, 20 years old, who is alleged to have murdered Mrs. Re becca Port, of near Neff's Mills, yes terday afternoon, he was captured this morning in the public school house at Barre, this county, by John Heck. The crime of which Snyder is ac cused is one of the most heinous in the history of this county. Yesterday afternoon Plummer Port, a prominent farmer of the Shavers Creek valley, left his home and drove to Neff's Mills, one and a half miles away. He left his wife alone with Adam Snyder, who, since paroled from the Hunting don Reformatory in July, had been working on the Port farm. During the farmer's absence, it Is alleged, Snyder first assaulted Mrs. Port, and then, securing a monkey-wrench, knife and meat-saw, he struck her over the head, slashed her throat from ear to ear and then dragged the body to the cellar, where he concealed it under a potato box. Discovery of the crime was made when Port returned to Ills home. The bloody meat-saw, knife and monkey wreneli. a pool of ulood and a trail of blood leading to the cellar led to the discovery. News of the crime spread rapidly through the valley and last night searching parties with lan terns scoured the hills surrounding the scene pf the crime. When captured this morning, Sny der was completely exhausted and of fered little resistance. He had trav eled over tlie inoumaws for seven miles, eluded bis pursuers and sought shelter from the storm b.v forcing an entrance to the schoolhouse at Barre. Snyder, whose mother resides near Johnstown, had been committed to the reformatory from Cambria county on a charge of larceny in 1913. He was paroled to work on the Port farm in July. BRITISH DRAFT REPLY TO lERICIIIII PROTEST Cabinet Will Consider Two Notes Designed to Solve Ship ping Dispute London, Jan. 7.—The British re sponse to the United States' note of protest against England's manner of detaining American whips hound for neutral ports has been drafted. It will oo considered before the Cabinet to-day and forwarded to Washington probably before the end or the week. I here will, in reality, be two notes of reply. The llrst will deal with the general situation, answering America's representations in generalities and broadly outlining tho British position, as well as expressing England's friendly feelings and her appreciation tor the friendly spirit of the United States note. This will be followed by a further note, which is also in the course of preparation, taking up the shipping problem in greater detail, and In all probability making suggestions look ing toward a solution. The news of Washington's latest regulation con cerning the inspection of cargoes was well received. In official circles it is considered that the application of these regulations will minimize the necessity of such thorough search as has been necessary until now. Do Everything Reasonable The reply to the American note, it is said, in well informed Quarters, is wholly conciliatory and shows a dis position on tii" s.nrt of England to do everything within reason to avert de lay to American shipping at a time when freight rates arc high and con sequently loss of time is reverted to the owner. England wishes to do everything in its power consistent with the proper safeguarding of the interests of tlin allies to facilitate world trade and stimulate commerce, paralyzed as It Is by war conditions. Consequently It is declared, there is no disposition on the pari of England to protest against, the purchase of German ves sels by Americans where the sales are genuine and the ships are not used so as to avoid what might reasonably bt> called the consequences of belliger enoy. The use of transferred German ships in the cotton trade with Ger many probably would call forth ob jections from the allies, although cot ton is not contraband, because the allies, it is said, would regard such use as a roundabout means of escap ing the effects of the. war.

Eng land is willing to make all concessions which she deems not In direct conflict with the interests of the allies, al though it is believed she will not re linquish the right to search American ships under .-xceytlonal circumstances. An official Turkish announcement makes no comment on the disastrous defeat Russia states was inflicted on the Turkish forces which invaded the Caucasus. The report speaks of minor victories over the Russians b.v Turkish forces which penetrated northern Per sia and of an indecisive naval battle bet ween Turkish and Russian warships in the Black Sea. Activity of Germany's Zeppelins along the French coast has revived conjecture as to a possible raid on England by these huge air craft. Sev eral of the dirigibles are reported to have appeared near Dunkirk and are then said to have turned toward the English coast. The reported arrest of Cardinal Mer cier at Brussels on account of a pas toral letter In which lie is said fo have advised Belgian civilians not to rec ognize the authority of the German administration has developed one of the striking incidents of the war. Pope Benedict is making an inquiry, having received no official confirmation of the report, it Is said at Rome that should its truth he established, the pope would protest to Germany. The French war office asserts that the eastern end of the German line is being pushed backward at various places. In Upper Alsace also the for ward movement of the French Is said to have continued.
