Germany's Jio sltion In the Arabic caw, bat;ed on the facta no far received, was laid be for the state department In Washing ton today. It la believed the first expresalon from Germany through Ambawiador Gerard will pave the way for a settlement of the Incident. Tin ambassador filed a long code cable to Washington lost night following a conference with Foreign Minister Ja gow. He would not dlacusa the con tent of the message but expressed the belief the situation growing out of the linking of the Arabic would be settled without a break. WASHINGTON. Aug. 26. Ger many does not want the United States drawn Into the war. Officialdom Is aatlsfled on that point The request of Von Bernstorff that the United States delay action on the Arabic caae until reports have been received from Berlin largely relieves the ap prehension that Germany desired tha participation of this country In the war. The conference today between Lansing and Von Bernstorff Is un derstood to have eliminated such a possibility entirely. WASHINGTON, Aug. 26. A code cable was received by the state de partment this afternoon from Ambas sador Gerard. It was believed to be the amhasador's report on the con ference with Von Jagow.

City Council Takes Steps for Improving Many Streets PLOT 10 LIBERATE HUERTA UNEARTHED BY 0. S. A petition asking for the paving of Willow street between Webb and Al ta was presented to the city council last evening and Is now in tha hands of the street committee. Other steps taken In the street Improvement campaign last evening was the pas sage of the ordinance providing for the grading of West Jackson street and the first reading of the South Main street Improvement ordinance. Owing to the failure of the ordi nance to require bids on the ma cadam strips on either aide of the proposed pavement, the ordinance was referred back to the city attor ney for correction. This Improvement between Bluff and High will cost over $8000. iJilM.r for Library site. Reporting upon the request of the library board last week. Chairman Murphy of the finance committee rec ommended that the city prisoners be put to work assisting In the grading of the library site. He stated that the finances would not permit the city to appropriate money for this purpose. It is probable that i spec Inl overseer will be appointed to take charge of the prisoners. The county court has promised to supply a pow der man for the work. Must Build Sidewalks. The matter of building needed sidewalks in the city was taken up last night and tha street commission er was Instructed to prepare a list of the defective walks in the city. The city engineer was instructed to find out the names of the owners of the property on Tustln street on the hill leading to the high school so that the city attorney can order them to build a sidewalk at once. In this connec-l tlon the street commissioner was or-! dered to work under the Instructions' of the street committee. I The street commissioner was also' notified to canvass the city to discov-l er the houses that are not connected ' with sewers and to order them to make connections within ten dnys un der penalty of a $2 fine for every lay they delay.

The district attorney today inform ed Judge Marsh of the opinion re ceived but Mr. Steiwer himself has not yet given his own opinion In a formal manner. He wishes to look up the ruling more fully and will probably advise Judge Marsh on the subject tomorrow. According to Judge Marsh he ex pects to heed the advice of the of ficial attorneys on the subject. He has never been fully satisfied that he had the authority to make the ap pointment by himself. He has also had in mind to consult Commissioner Cockburn on the subject, regardless of the law, so if requested to do so will be following a course not ma terially different from what he has had in mind. The county court convenes a week from yesterday and it is possible an appointment to the vacanc may be made at that time. The Crook county case cited by the assistant attorney general is not iden tical with the case here but the rul ing of the supreme court holds that the commissioners as well as the Judge, compose the county court when convened for transacting coun ty business. In the ruling Judge McBride says that if the constitution had intended the commissioners merely to "sit" with the Judge it would have been just as effective had it been ordered that the county Judge sit with two joints of stove pipe. fortnight.
