.ULT|MATUh SENT
TO China BY Japan
Demands Apology and Indemnity
Take Further Steps if
Necessary.

Peking, China, Sept. 13.-Presi-
dent Yuan Shi Kai, and his advisors,
have taken under consideration the
demands by the Japanese govern
ment, which are tantamount to an
ultimatum, for an apology for the
killing of three Japanese at Nan
king, the maltreatment of consul
lar messenger, the torture of Jap
anese lieutenant at Hankow and the
Imprisonment of Japanese lieuten-
ant yesterday.
Japan demands an apology for the
insult to the Japanese flag, the pun
ishment of those responsible and the
payment Of an indemnity, the
amount of which is to be arranged
later. The japanese legation says
the demands represented the mini
mum to which China must agree
without delay. Otherwise Japan
will take measures which seem nee
essary.

INCREASE OF WAGES
FOUND TO Be STEADY

Washington, d. c., Sept. 10
There was a steady increase in the
scale of wages paid to labor in this
country in the last six years and
this was accomplished in the face OF
q steady reduction in the working
hours of labor. Statistics published
yesterday by the department of lab
or indicate that labor now is re-
ceiving more remuneration for few
err hours of toll than ever before.
The figures are based on compari-
sons OF union wage scale agree
ments, trade union reports and
working compacts in central cities
throughout the United States from
1907 to 1912.
The bakers appear to have carried
off the cake in the distribution Of
good things for their wages were in
creased % per cent in the six years.
while their working day was short
ened nearly one-ffth. Stone cutters
and newspaper compositors are the
lowest in the scale in the matter Of
reduced hours. The stone cutters
also received the lowest rate Of in
crease, fate not shared, however,
by the compositors.
The inquiry was an elaborate one
and the result is the most eompre-
hensive document OF its kind yet is
sued by the government. It was
prosecuted by segregating the trades
under the general divisions of bak-
ing trades. building trades, marble
and stone trades and printing
trades.

Dock. ....... .e

Philadelphia, Sept. 13.--Sambo, a
harmless appearing little goat, mas
cot for the uper-dreadnought Con.
necticut, nearly capsized that battle.
ship at League island. ... -.
The ship is in drydock having
new propellers put in, and for near
ly week Samboo has been allowed
to roam ashore and help himself to
the grass in the navy yard. Early
in the morning he clambered down
to the bottom of the drydock in
which the Connecticut is resting and
after taking a general survey of the
situation, started scratching his
horn on some blocks which held up
the port side OF the ship.
A sentry on duty Immediately ov-
er the scene of Sambo's scratching op-
erations heard the noise. He paus-
ed for moment. Sambo became i'm
patient and started butting the
block, and it sounded to the sentry
as though somebody was trying to
drive hole through the vessel.
The ship was at once alarmed
and more than score of marines
scrambled down the long rope lad
der, and after a short search they
found Sambo vigorously butting
away without regard to consequent
ces.
1t is said that the goat really en-
dangered the ship for the few sec
onds he was butting. The Connect
lieut. is very delicately balanced and
the weight is so evenly distributed
between various blocks that dislodg-
ing one of them would cause the ves-
sci to topple over.

ONE EMPLOYE is
KILLED EVERY HOUR
Garretson Gives Startling Figures to
Arbitrator.

New York, Sept. IA B. Gar.
retson, representing the Order OF
Railway Conductors, testified yester.
day railroad employe is killed ev.
cry hour and seven minutes of the
day and that every nine minutes a
man is MANNED. Mr.. Garretson was
a witness before the arbitration COM
mission in the controversy between
forty-two eastern railroads, their
conductors and trainmen over the
employees remands for more pay
and shorter hours.
Mr.. Garettson's statement was
challenged by Elisha Lee, counsel
for the railroads. The witness as
serted, however, that he could prove
his declaration and would do so in
subsequent testimony
The report of the interstate COM
merce commission for the year end
ing June 80, 1912, says that 1896
railroad employees were killed during
the year.
Much of Mr.. Garretsons testimony
was devoted to what he called the
evil of deadhead crews. These crews,
he said. were composed Of men who
have run loaded train to a given
point, have no more work to do and
are not paid for the time they spend
in travelling back home. This was
one OF the abuses, he continued,
which employees wanted to end. He
added that some of the working
economies introduced by the rail-
roads increased the risk to life and
limb encountered by trainmen, and
said that the trainmen helped to pay
for such economies In disability
funds.

FRIEDMAN CURE"
finds iowa HOME.
Perry Latest Place DR.. Carmichael
Tries to Place Hospital.

Perry, Sept. 12.-Dr. Eugene Car
michael of Perry, is a firm believer
in the "try. try again" theory. At
ter wandering about a large proper
ton of central Iowa trying to find
place where he could install and
operate tuberculosis hospital with
out calling down the wrath of the
city officials on his head, he decided
to try Perry.
His troubles may be about over.
He appeared before the city coun-
ell last night and asked permission
to establish a colony of white plague
victims where the Friedman serum
might be administered. Though no
action was taken, it is believed the
permission will be given.
DR.. Carmichael is head of the or
ganization that first tried to place
the hospital at Colfax. Residents Of
Colfax were not particularly warm
in their welcome, and the city coun-
Gil made matters so hot that Coliax
was abandoned as possible piace
for the location of the sanitarium.
Two days ago DR.. Carmichael ap-
peared before the city council at
Newton, proposing that the hospital
be established there. Newton follow
ed Colfax's idea.

women sympathizers who poured in
to Calumet from all parts of the dis
trict, fifteen women and three men
are under arrest, including Yanko

Terzich was jailed after a wordy
clash with an officer and probably
will be released. .7-
The strikers and the women were
noisy and apparently in an ugly
mood. Hundreds of them marched
into Calumet from the Kewennaw
county mines to the north and each
appearance of soldiers and deputies
brought out an outburst of hooting.
Deputies in automobiles and mount
ed and foot soldiers prevented SER
ious disorder. Trouble was feared
at the mine shafts and at each Of
them deputies We're stationed in
force. The strikers were kept on
the move by the cavalry.

ANOTHER ROBBERY
ON PERRY'S LIST
Third Holdup Within Two Weeks
Yesterday-Still Another
Attempted.

Perry, Sept. 13.-The third hold
up within two weeks occurred just
west OF the Milwaukee depot early
yesterday morning. F. E. Heman Of
Joliet, ILL.,, was slugged and robbed
Of $12-all the money he had with
him-by two chance acquaintances
Heman came here from Chicago to
do some construction work. He
formed the acquaintance OF two
men who boarded the train at Ma
drid and who had tickets to Perry
When they left the train Heman ac-
companied the men from the station.
Offering to buy lunch. In return
for his generosity his companions as
saulted him and made away with his
cash. In the encounter Heman was
badly bruised. The thieves have not
been caught.
The holdup is not thought to be
the work of the two men who have
been terrorizing the vicinity west
Of Perry. The work OF the latter
has been confined to the roads lead
ing into town, and the robbers are
believed to be connected with the
gang Of yeggman which has been
working in this vicinity for years.

CROSS BORDER
twenty-five of Sherbrooke Contin-

STILL FEAR OF KIDNAPPING
Fugitive Closely Guarded to Prevent
His Being Spirited
Away.
STILL FEAR OF KIDNAPPING

Colebrook, N. H., Sept. 12.-Twen.
ty-five Canadians, several of them
opponents of William Travers Jor.
ONE, after his arrest in Coaticook
Que, last week on charge of gamb-
ling, and others from Sherbrooke
where Harry X. Thaw received such
an ovation in court, have followed
the fugitive across the border into
New Hampshire and revived with
their coming the intense partisan
feeling so evident in Canada.
Jerome denounced one Of them in
public yesterday. Their presence in
Colebrook enlivened what otherwise
was typical Thaw day for those
who have been following the erratic
course of Stanford Whites slayer
since his escape from Matteawan
Aug. II. There was no court pro-
ceeding, Thaw's arraignment being
put off by mutual consent until 10
o'clock this morning and Thaw's
lawyers apparently thinking him
safer in the custody of the sheriff
than at large, abandoned their at
tempt to release him on writ Of
habeas corpus.
The guards about Thaw's hotel
y-ara incraocad from fyolva tn fwon-
ty. All were armed and under the
direction of Chief Of Police Charles
Kelly. The chief appointed his first
deputies Wednesday after hearing
stories that officers from New York
might attempt to spirit Thaw away.
He augmented them in the face of
rumors that the Canadian contin-
gent might essay the same thing
with the idea Of snatching Thaw
from Jerome's hands and at the same
time rebuking high dominion offic-
ials responsible for Thaw's sudden
deportation yesterday morning.
Groups of Canadians stood about
the hotel corridors and on the street
corners throughout the day and
closely followed Thaw on the two
trips he made from his room. The
first OF these was to the barber
shop; the second to the Office of his
chief counsel. Thomas Johnson. Two
automobiles, engines running. stood
at the curb in front of the office all
the time Thaw was within. This so
alarmed the police chief that he and
his men completely surrounded
Thaw when he was brought down
and escorted him to the hotel.
Mr.. Jerome spoke with smile
last night of the camp followers
from across the border but added
that he had heard apparently au-
parently authentic reports that some
Of the more emotional OF the Thaw
sympathizers from Canada had spok-
EN- seriously of liberating him.
Jerome's denunciation of the par
tisans from Coaticook occurred in
the Monadnock house where Thaw Is
housed The man, who interested
himself in working up evidence
against Jerome on the gambling
charge of which he was accused,
asked to be introduced to him. Jer-
