GERMAN 1 Lsd t M LLJ Us PROOFS GIVEN BERNSTORFF Wilson lii-ady to Decide on Course, but May Await Reply lVom Ber lin Situation Is Xot Con ( sidered Hopeless. WASHINGTOX. Sept. 13. Conferences today between President Wilson and Secretary Lansing and between Secre- tary Lansing and Count von Bernstorff J me barman Ambassador, brought the situation srowing out of German sub marine activities to the following status: First The German Ambassador has been furnished with the evidence of officers and survivors of the Arabic, all ajfreeinj? that the liner was pro ceeding peacefully when torpedoed without warning and has been advised that the United States desires a dis avowal of the attack and reparation for the American lives lost. -. The evidence will be sent by Count von Bernstorff to the BUerman foreign office, to which it has not been avail able before, and probably 10 days will elapse before Berlin can be heard from. In some quarters it is believed that the foreign office, on examining the evi dence, may change its position and dis avow the action of the submarine com mander, who, it was asserted in the last note, sank the liner because he tnougrht she was about to attack him. America Heady to Decide. 3. The United States has now all in formation as it now stands and is ready to decide on its course, but action may be delayed until Count von Bernstorff has had time to exchange communica tions with his government. 1. While the United States will not consent to arbitration of a principle or a question involving the safety of American lives, it has accepted Ger many's assurances that peaceful liners will not be torpedoed without warn ing, and if Germany desires to arbitrate the amount of indemnity, the question of whether the Arabic actually at tempted to attack the submarine, or w hether her actions justified the" sub marine commander in believing he was about to be attacked, that probably would be agreed to. The President and Secretary Lansing were in conference for nearly an hour and later Count von Bernstorff spent half an hour with the Secretary. No announcements were made. It was said in well-informed circles, however that although the American Government was not pleased with the Arabic note, the situation was considered far from hopeless. The German Ambassador is under stood to have been given wide latitude by his l-'oreign Office in handling the negotiations which his call today was Intended to initiate. All the exchanges from now on prob ably win come through him, and it is generally believed that settlement of the Arabic case will mean prompt clearing up of the entire submarine question, including the question of reparation foiv Americans lost with the Lusitania. An indication of the close attention the President .is giving the foreign sit uation, and the gravity with which he regards it was given today, when, in declining an invitation to deliver' an address the latter part of the month, he said: "We are all hoping and praying that the skies may clear, but we have no control over that on this side of the water, and it is impossible to predict any part of the course of affairs." No word has come from Vienna, where Ambassador Penfield is pre sumed to have delivered several days ago the note , informing the Austro Hungarian government that' Dr. Con Ktantin T. Dumba no longer is accept able as an envoy to the United States. Notice that Dr. Dumba has been re called is expected at any time. It was sam at tne Mate Department today that information regarding participa tion by Captain von Tapon. the Gor man military attache, in Ambassador pumh s plans for handicapping Amer ican munitions plants has not been re ceived ar.d that so far no action in re gard to him had been considered. FIRES NOT INCENDIARY Insurance Agents Keach Opinion on Blazes at liopyards. SALEM. Or.. Sept. IS. (Special.) Announcement was made here today by leading insurance agents that none of the recent fires at hop plants was started by incendiaries. Homer Smith, one of the dealers, who has visited all yards in this and Polk counties, said: "I find that not a single fire was started by a firebug. The fire in the l.ivesley yard was caused probably by spontaneous combustion, as reported in The Oregonian. One of the Polk County fires was of a mysterious nature, but 1 believe it was caused by careless ness. As The Oregonian said, there have been no I. W. W. representatives in the yards here and in Polk County." BATTLE FOUGHT ON BORDER tContinuod From First PaRe During the tight today this same Mexi can walked 100 yards through the bul let zone to carry a bucket of water to Craft before the latter died. Whether this action was bravery or a scheme to throw off suspicion. Army officers do not know. Reports came tonight that Mexicans had been seen crossing the Rio Grande a short distance below Brownsville today, and a cavalry troop was sent to investigate. Colonel Kobert L. Bullard. at Har lingen. received a report tonight of the shooting today of a rural mail carrier near Kdlnourgh. Tex. Several shots were fired at him from ambush. He escaped.

(Continued From First Page) alone on the submarine issue because Germany is the aggressor. With reference to Captain von Papen, Mr. Lansing will endeavor to secure a safe conduct for his passage home. Un doubtedly this will be promptly grant ed by Great Britain. With the de parture of Von Papen the German Rm bassy will have no further connection with the Dumba Incident. The State Department has been ad vised that Von Papen's "leave of ab sence" already has begun. He is en rout to Yellowstone Park and may go to California. Regarding Dr. Dumba, the State De partment is yet to receive the formal reply of the Austro-Hungarian gov ernment. There is no question that Dr. iJumua will be ordered home. How it is to oe done, what conditions are attached, remain to be seen. The big feature of the entire situ ation, however, overshadowing the ne gotiations which have been initiated, is that Germany and Austria-Hungary desire to remain on friendly terms with the American Nations that they ate anxious to conciliate us and that they will go far to do so.'

RON; VIEW H.VWLEY BELIEVES JUSTICE WILL BE CANDIDATE. Representative Predicts Election I nlted Party If Nomination Is Accepted for 116. by ROSliBCRG, Or.. Sept. 13. (Special.) That Justice Charles E. Hughes, of the United States Supreme Court and ex-Governor of New York, will prob ably be the Republican candidate for President at the next election, was the statement of V. C. Hawley, Represen tative in Congress, who passed today in Roseburjr visiting his constituents. "Although a. number of prominent Photograph by Bain News ARCHIBALD. men have been mentioned as prospec-' tive candidates for President, it is my opinion that the Republican party will eventually unite on Mr. Hughes. Mr. Hughes has been a prominent figure in the Republican ranks for many years, and is regarded as strong Presidential timber. If he will accept the nomina tion for President I believe his election would be assured.' ' Mr. Hawley said today that actual work on Roseburg's new Federal build ing probably would begin within the next three years. The delay in getting to work, he says, was due to the enor mous accumulation of work in the Fed eral architect's office. It is Mr. Hawley's opinion that much of the time of the next session of Con. gress will be consumed in considering the rural credit bills and the proposi tion to strengthen the Army and Navy. Mr. Hawley is a member of the com mittee that is framing the rural credit bill. He will return to Washington in October. VILLA'S AIDE TO LEAVE AMiKLKS ANNOIXCES HE GO TO WASHINGTON. Mi anion 31ay Be to OJTcr Kllminatien of Northern Chief In Settlement of Mexican War. EL PASO, Sept. 12. General Filippe Angeles, second in command under General Villa, announced at Juarez to night that he would leave soon for New York and Washing-ton on a mis sion for Villa and the convention eov ernment. The nature of this mission he declined to discuss. It :s understood here that Angeles will be authorized to represent the con vention government in dealing with the Pan-American peace proposals, and also will be free to present his per sonal views on the situation created by the advance of General Obregon into Northern Mexico. In these personal views he is believed to have the sup port of members of various factions, among them some individual followers of Carranza. Villa, it is understood, has placed his future as a leader of the convention forces in the hands of Angeles and is ready to consent even to complete elimination. The scope of Angeles mission will not be limited to the fate of the con vention government, it is understood, but will deal with the entire future of Mexico. J t is said definitely, however, that he will not present himself as a candidate for the provisional presi dency nor as a substitute for General Villa as the military leader of the con vention government. General discussion of the mission of General Angeles included the sugges tion that he miprht present to the "Wash ington Government tne possibility that should recognition be accorded Car ranza. the natural reactive effect on General Villa would be such as to pro duce a serious situation in Northern Mexico. There are many foreign in terests left in Northern Mexico, which. It is said, might suffer the final dis aster should Villa, under pressure of failure, disband his men to brigand age.

Something of a sensation was sprung by the defense this afternoon in the trial of Mayor Joseph K. Bell, charged with election conspiracy, when M. A. Ryan, in outlining the Mayor's case, asserted that the defense would prove that a "training school for perjurors was conducted in Chicago by agents of the prosecutor's office. Attorney Ryan began his speech after Prosecutor A. J. Rucker completed his opening state ment for the state. "David R. Masterson. a crook, em ployed by an agent of the prosecutor's office, went to Chicago and advertised for men to come to Indianapolis and testify in this case," asserted Ryan. "He conducted a training school foe perjurers there; gave them descrip tions of Bell, Tom Taggart and others; pointed out on a map of Indianapolis the location of hotels and voting places and gave them contracts promising them immunity and protecting them from arrest." These men were paid at the rate of $5 a day, asserted Ryan, but $2 of eaob day's pay was held back "until they came - through on the witness stand." Reduction of Taxes. Atchison Globe.

Mr. Wardell went to Honolulu sev eral weeks ago to present to a Fed eral grand jury evidence against E. P. Winter, a former quartermaster on the Pacific Mail liner Siberia, accused of smuggling into Honolulu $10,000 worth of opium. The jury failed to return indictment, although, said Mr. Wardell, there was plenty of convict ing1 evidence. - It is impossible to obtain a convic tion against an opium smuggler there," said Wardell, "unless he is in a lowly position with no friends." Mr. Winter, according to the evi dence of Michael Williams, another quartermaster on the Siberia, deliv ered opium to a store in Honolulu, in which Fong Kong, a prominent Chi nese merchant, was Interested.

Mr. Wardell met Fong Kong out side the courtroom during the presen tation of the evidence against Mr. Winter, and accused him of being con nuected with the drug trafficking business. The Chinese replied with a 15000 libel suit against the surveyor. Mr. Wardell told newspapermen here today that he thought the Treasury Department would act favorably upon his recommendations and the evidence he already has. He refused to name any of the per sons who he says are involved in the opium ring. Bolt Deprives Men of Senses.
