NO PRISONERS TAKEN.
German Troops Reported as Giving Chinese

Berlin, Nov. 1.-Considerable impa-
uence at the meagreness of the news
from China is finding expression here.
The inference is that German censor
ship over such information is very
strict.
Letters from privates in China begin
to find their way into the Social Dem

he witnessed the following scene:

HOW THEY STAND.
Alignment Of Powers on Brit
ish-German Agreement
Nov CompIete--Jap Gives Her
Unconditional Assent.
ou.sis Will Modify Attitude Concerning Third
Clause.

Washington. Nov. 1.-The alignment
Of the powers on the British German
agIe cement is now complete. Aside
from Italy and Austria, whose adher-
encc to the agreement was expected.
owing TO their political relations with
Germany. Japan is the only one OF the
powers which has given unconditional
assent n the agreement.
As the matter now stands, five of the
powers are united in all the terms or
the agreement, viz: Great Britain.
Germany. Italy. Austria and Japan;
three Of the powers. United States.
France and Russia accept the clauses
relating to the open door, and the ter
ritorial integrity of China, but with
hold action on the third clause to fu-
ture procedure in case any power seiz-s
territory. Neither the state depart
ment nor the Russian embassy has re-
ceived information Of RuSsia's answer,
though The Associated Press in its
London dispatches announced that the
reply had been received at the British
foreign Office. on Ouctober goth, and
unreservedIy accepted the first two
clauses. In regard to the third clause.
Russia referred the two contracting
parties ID tit ItuSSldN circular VI april
y. saying that she would modify her
attitude according 10 circumstances.
The chief effect of the exchange has
been in bringing FIVE Of the powers TO
an agreement. TO respect the open
door" and the integrity of China and
to consult among themselves as to the
future course in case any of the other
powers sought u take Chinese terri
tory. These other powers" as the ne
goitiations have now been shaped. are
the United States, France and Russia.
As To the United States. there is OF
course no POSSIBILITY Of an initiative in
taking territory so that the terms Of
the third clause would apply to France
and Russia, and would bring about
concurrent action Of the five powers in
case either Of these two sought TO ex-
tend their domain in China.

THERE WAS, NO FRAUD.


The report of James NJ. Winters. special
master in the suit of the Louisville Trust
Company against the Louisville, New AL
bany & Chicago Railway Company. was
filed with the clerk of the Federal Court
yesterday. The action was brought by the
trust company trustee for bondholders
to collect on certain bonds issued by the
Beattyville branch of the road before it
became part of the Monon system. These
bonds. with interest. amount to about $500
600. When the Monon was sold the present
owners failed to takejrp the bonds, and
the Louisville Trusti Company on behalf
of the bondholders, filed a petition asking
that the sale of the road be set aside, al
leging that the sale of the road was a
scheme on the part of the railway company
to defraud general creditors. and especially
to rid Itself of liability upon the guaranty
of the Richmond, Nicholasville & Beatty
vile bonds, there being about 100000 of
them still outstanding. The question re-
ferred to the special master was the legal
ity of the reorganization of the company
and it's sale under foreclosure Mr. Win
ters held that there was no fraud or con-
spiracy on the part Oh the purchasers of
the Monon and that there were no dam
ages to the unsecured creditors The de-
cision established the validity of the reor-
ganization of the present company, and IL
approved by the court will allow a final
confirmation of the sale of the Monon
made a year ago. The bondhoders will an
peal the case to the United States Supreme
Court. - r-SA

CARPENTERS WILL QUIT
JOINT MEETING OF TWO UNIONS DE-
CIDEs TO STRIKE THIS MORNING.
Decision Reached at n Late Hour Last
Night-Plumbers' DimcuIty
still Unsettled.

Not hammer will be raised nor saw
drawn by a union carpenter to-day. and
work on all buildings where union carpen-
tiers are employed will be suspended. This
was the decision at the joint meeting of the
German and English-speaking unions in
Carpenters Hall last night, after the ques-
ton had been debated until after midnight
The meeting was called to order about s
o'clock and for four hours the men wres-
tied with the problem in a room that was
crowded TO suffocation before it was agreed
that there was way to bring the con-
tractors together and give them to under
stand that the carpenters mean to enforce
the scale. The carpenters say this is not a
strike, but they will simply "quit work. un-
til an agreement is reached.
A few contractors have been paying the
scale. but the men employed by them will
be called off with the others and all will be
kept out until there is practically a unan-
imous consent of the contractors to pay the
union scale The strike is called indefinite
ly or until an agreement is reached.
A committee of five was appointed last
night to assist Harry Travis. the business
agent, in calling upon the contractors in an
conference can be held. State Labor Com

Friday night, when another joint meeting
of the two unions will be held.
There was no disposition shown at the
meeting last night to recede from the orig
inal demands that were scheduled to go
into effect April q These demands are IS
cents an hour. eight hours day, time and
one-half for overtime, double time for Sun
day and three legal holidays during the
year. This scale was submitted to the con-
tractors the first of the year in time to
figure on their contracts, and the carpen-
tiers say there is no excuse for not granting

strength in the last year. the treasury is in
