Secretary of Navy Held Responsible for the Demon
 stration by U. s. tackles at Seattle
MEMORIAL TO BE SENT TO PRESIDENT WILSON
The Secrearys Reference the Flag Characterized "A Most Incendiary Utterance'-Chef Decraton of Flag is by its Use to Cloak Rascaty and Tyranny, Says the Menloral-Street Meetings Forbidden at Seattle.

Then taking up the visit of Secre- tary Daniels and his speech at the Rainier Club, Thursday night, the memorial says
 Our propaganda and our educa- tional efforts have prospered under the daily fire of abuse and misrepre- sentation until the coming to this city of Mir. Josephus Daniels, secretary of the navy, who on Thursday evening, July IT. delivered his ill-considered address which under local conditions, amounted to a most incendiary utter ance."
 Soldiers Attacked, Not by Socialists
 The memorial then recites that 9 secondary cause was the attack made on three soldiers by a crowd about a street speaker Thursday night, which was not connected with the Socialist party and which therefore cannot be presented as an attenuation of the lawlessness, riotous and unwarranted interference with our orderly and law full processes by naval and military fragments under what appears to have been probably foreknowledge upon the part of those in authority.
 Place Responsibility on Daniels.
 Concluding. the memorial says:
 We therefore after due and serious deliberation, place responsibility upon the secretary of the navy. MT. Josephus Daniels, who is already making efforts to explain; but we submit, MT. Presi- dent, that no amount of explaining can restore to us our estate in both normal and physical particulars held by us prior to disasters resulting from his remarks"
 Street Meetings Barred.
 With the exception of the armored cruiser California, all. the warships which were in the harbor during the PotIatch celebration returned to the Bremerton navy yard. Normal Sum day conditions prevailed, with, the one exception that there were no corner street speakers. Mayor Cotterhilr S emergency order forbidding street meetings was the only one not over ruled by Superior Judge Humphrey yesterday. and it was rigdly enforced by the police.

Turks are Back
 in AdrianopIe
HAD ONLY BRIEF CONFLICT
 WITH BULGARS
NEW CABINET FORMED
Change of Administration in Bulgaria Believed to Augur Well for Peace Turkey May Prove an Obstacle

London, July 20.-The advent of a new Bulgarian cabinet, comprising coalition of the liberal groups, seems to have brought a prospect that peace negotiations will soon be entered into. After vain attempts to negotiate sep arately vii: Rumania, the Bulgarian government accepted the advice of Austria and Russia and offered Ru- mania an important territorial conces sion. Bulgaria also sent delegates to meet the Servians and Greeks, and presumably Rurnanian representatives peace.
 Turkey an Obstacle to Peace.
 It is confirmed from Athens thatSer- via, Greece and Montenegro are ready to participate in these negotiations. Turkey, however. has introduced a new complication and has notified the pow CTS of her intention to make the Marit- ga river the new frontier, but that the powers set the claim aside in order to expedite peace; that the porte would be prepared to settle the question by diplomatic means, but that the atroci- ties and vandalism of the Bu1garians in the occupied territories make it inn possible to hope for a diplomatic set tlement, and that new conditions aris- ing from the last war between the al lies make it doubly necessary for Tur- key to secure a frontier guaranteeing safety to Constantinople and the Gar danelles.
 Unimportant Fighting.
 The porte promises not to cross the new Maritza frontier and asks the powers assistance in establishing 1t so as to secure durable relations between Turkey and Bulgaria
 It is not considered likely, however, that Europe will permit the decisions aS hn hIIS &n he thrust aside.
 Fighting of no great importance con- tinues on the Greek and Servian frontiers. In a smart engagement to the north of Nevrokop the Greeks cap- tured nine Bulgarian guns.

NECKLACE FOUND BY
 STUDENT WAS BOGUS. Was Thought 1t Might be Missing $65o,OOO Strinq of Pearls.

Paris, July 2o.-A student entered Neuilly police station this evening with a pearl necklace, which he said he had found. The police thought pos sibly that this might be the s650, ,0e0 necklace which is alleged to have been stolen recently during transit by post from Paris to a dealer in London and for the return of which a reward of $50, 900 has been offered. They sum moned the Paris agent of Max Meyer, the London dealer to which the neck lace had been shipped, and a careful examination of the pearls was made. The agent declared that while seem ing4y identical, he did not believe 1t was the stolen necklace. It will be ex- aInined by experts tomorrow.
 The agent later declared that the pearl necklace was bogus but an ex- cellent imitation of the other, in weight, size and number of pearls. The student says that the necklace was dropped on a restaurant terrace by two South Americans.

Complications
 are Predicted
DEMOCRATIC LEADERS WORRY
 OVER NEW LAW.
ON U. s. CHAMPIONSHIPS
States Unprepared for Direct EIec- tions-Two Vacancies on Democratic Side Would Rob them of Majority.

Washington, July 20-Complications are predicted as certain to arise over the installation of the direct election method for the election of United States senators. Most of the trouble is expected to result from the failure of state legislatures to provide promptly appropriate methods for carrying out the recent amendment to the constitution for the direct sen- atorial election. Leaders of the sen ate majority are more anxious about the situation than the republicans. Should two or more vacancies occur on the democratic side of the chamber the margin of power in the body would be gone.
 32 Terms to Expire in 1915.
 Thirty-two senatorial terms will ex- pire on March 3. 1915.
 Some of the states affected already have provided a method of popular election but great number have not and vacancies caused by death or resignation may call at any time for a popular cleo ton from states which have not yet acted.
 National Law Considered.
 Democratic members of the commit tee on privileges and elections have considered the advisabilitY Of haV- ing a national law prescribing & method and applying to all states alike. y TO do this congress would 6X- ercise its power, under the constftu tion to revise state regulation as to the time and manner of selecting sen ators, a step which never has ap- pealed to Southern senators. No soon CT had the suggestion of federal leg islation been made than they entered 1 a protest and the idea has been l abandoned.
 | Maryland Case Questioned. l The governor of Maryland has de- cided he is empowered under exist 1 ing laws to issIIe a writ of election 1 to fill the unexpiFed term of the late i Senator Raynor. Senator Jackson is l now serving by designation of the ! governor. Constitutional lawyers of | the senate are said to enter tain doubt as to the power of the l governor to issue the writ, and the appearance of new senator from 1 Maryland to take the oath of office may 1 mark the initial fight in the senate l over the senatorial election machinery.
 PissTbIe Emergency Measure
 Should vacancies occur during the tendency of the tariff act, in states where suitable ma chinery is not now provided, it is understood the demo cratic congressional committee would
 at once urge the convenfng of the
 state legislatures to authorize the governors to appoint and to provide for the placing of candidates for sen afcr on the ballots in future elections

WAGE DEMANDS TO BE
 ARBlTRATED FIRST
Railroad Grievances Likely to Be Con-
 sidered Afterward

New York, July 20.-An agreement to arbitrate first the wage and other demands of the trainmen and conduct ors against the Eastern railroads and then consider the roads grievances against the men is the probable out come of conferences to be held tomor- row between members of the mediation board created by the Newlands act and representatives of the employees and of the roads, according to preva- lent opinion tonight in quarters where the course of the controversy is being closely watched
 Judge William L. Chambers and G. w. w. Hanger, the two members of the board already confirmed by the senate, will arrive tomorrow morning where conferences with parties to the dispute will begin. The first move will be to frame stipulation acceptable to both sides as to the questions to be arbitrated.
 In view of the determined attitude of the men. ss voiced by their repre- sentatives, belief exists that the med iators will recommend an agreement to take up first the mems demands and. after these have been decided by the arbitral body to be selected. to give the railroads their day in court, as it were. and settle this dispute in a sep arate arbitration.

Seattle. Wash. July 20-Responsi- bility for the riots Friday night in which the headquarters of the social ists and the Industrial Workers of the World were sacked and the furniture burned in the streets by mObS of civilians led by sailors from the Paci- fic reserve fleet was placed on Secre- 1ary of the Navy Daniels in a memorial 10 President Wilson adopted by the radical wing of the socialist party to- day. The headquarters of this branch of the socialists was one of the places wrecked by the mob.
 Denounces Secretary Daniels
 The memorial denounces Secretary Daniels for his speech at the Rainier Club Thursday night in which he made a brief reference to patriotism and denounced the red flag and it's supporters.
 The memorial sets forth that the socialist party has never advocated violence and has never advocated, done. attempted or even remotely dreamed of any act of dissertation to the flag of the United States or any emblem or insignia thereof"

 Moreover" continues the memorial. eve submit that the chief way in which the national emblem is being desecrated in this and other cities Of the Union is by the cloaking of ras- cality and tyrannical abuses of the aspiring poor within its folds. in short, making a lie of it's symbolism. We call attention, MT. President, to the sayings of Dr. Johnson: Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel.' We have on the contrary steadfastly and consistently insisted that the is Sue toward which our activities and our propaganda were directed was not one of flags. but of bread"
 Newspaper Blamed for LawIessness.
 The memorial then reviews local con- ditions and alleges that a local news- paper has bent it's energies toward the creation and infuriation of a criminal, lawless and incorporate mob 10 avenge itself upon us. to des- troy our libraries, efface our book stores and to threaten our very lives"

 RECEIVED BY POPE. PaPaI Soldiers Render Military Honors
 to Visitors.

Rome, July 20-F'ifteen thousand members of the parish of Rome had gathered this afternoon in the court yard of San Damaso to await the ap pearance of the pope, when from the central arcade the cadets from the American training ship Ranger march ed in and were greeted with great applause. The papal soldiers rendered military honors and the cadets were allotted an excellent place of vantage facing the balcony.
 The coming of the pope and his court was announced by bugles, the throng kneeling, the band playing a pontifical air and the cadets giving voice to a hearty cheer.
 When silence was restored, the pope, from the balcony. delivered short address, urging all to be firm in fol- lowing a Christian life and recom- mending the cadets to serve God and their fatherland. Later the pontiff im- parted the apostolic benediction.
 When the cadets marched out they were saluted by the great crowd, some of the spectators shouting Viva America!"

London, July 20-Again Mrs. En- incline Pankhurst, the suffragette leader, has succeeded in outwitting the police It was thought that she had been arrested last night but it was another woman, impersonating Mrs. Pankhurst, whom the police captured in a taxicab, and took part way to Scotland Yard. Then they discovered the mistake and liberated their pris- oner.
 Escaped From Flat.
 It was thought at first that the whole affair was 8. hoax, but it de- veIoped into an apparently we'll laid could escape from her flat by another passage while her impersonator was engaging the police.
 Detectives Capture Yelled Woman.
 Late last night woman left the Pankhurst fiat She walked feebly and was supported by two friends, who assisted her into taxicab. The de- tectives who had guarded the build- ing night and day since Mrs. Plank hurst escaped in the riot after the meeting of the Women's Social and Political Union on July 12. concluded that Mrs. Pankhurst was attempting to flee. They jumped into the cab as it was driving off and ordered the driver to proceed to Scotland Yard. B0IOI6 they they lifted the veil and discovered that their prisoner was an unknown woman. There was nothing for them to do but release her, as she had vio- lated no law.
 Cab Arouses Detective's Suspicion.
 Mrs. Pankhursts flat is in a mar row, dimly lighted street, near Parlia ment. A cab stopped in front of the building shortly before midnight. The three detectives on duty observed two women aIight and proceed to the sec ond floor, where the Pankhurst apart ments are located. The inspectors blew their whistles for endorsements and awaited developments.
 Mob Fights Officer.
 Simultaneously a party of fifty men and women, including a number of stout navies, gathered at the entrance. A yelled woman, leaning heavily on her supporters, descended the steps Immediately there was clash be- tween the police and the organized forces of the militants. Two detectives succeeded in clinging to the cab. Aft CT the taxi had turned the corner the crowd scattered and the street re- sumed its normal appearance. The lights in the Pankhurst windows con- tinued to glow and within half an hour the detectives reappeared and re- suned their guard of the premises.
 Pankhurst Flat Still Lighted.
 Tn the meantime, however, the flat was unguarded, and later the police began to fear that probably they had been outwitted. There were lights in the Pankhrst fiat again tonight and there were detectives in the streets, but all information was refused.
 Many mail boxes in London and the provincial cities were partly destroyed during the night, it is believed by suf- fragettes
