Prince Arenberg demanded the removal
and punishment Of Governor Lest of the
Cameroons colony. who. the prince said
had disgraced the German name in the
Cameroons. DR.. Kayser, director of the
colonial department. said that II the ac-
counts received in Berlin from the Gamer

No bloodshed occurred yesterday at Brin-
ton Pa. where the new Westinghouse works
are being erected. 1t was feared there would
be trouble between the American and for
eien workmen who wanted to get work on
the excavation for the new plant but none
occurred. probably for the reason that the
foreigners. profiting by the rough expert
ence Of several Of their number Wednesday
stayed away yesterday.
Only four foreigners were on hand and
they were quickly driven away by the
Americans. All the men at work were ma
tives of this country. 1t is claimed by the
Americans that the foreigners are willing to
work for 80 cents day, while the Ameri-
cans want $40.
