Jobbers Special
Visits New Ul11l
JOLLY CROWD OF TWIN CITY
BUSINESS MEN CALL ON
CUSTOMERS.
HOME MERCHANTS GREET VIsI-
TORS WITH MUSIC AND
SPEECHES.

When the Special carrying the St. Paul
jobbers arrived here yesterday morning,
shortly before eight o'clock the Second
Regiment Band greeted them with mar
tial music and about fifty members of
the Commercial Club were present to
extend the glad hand to the visitors.
AS soon as the fifty-eight representa-
tives of St. Paul's leading jobbers had
detrained, G. A. Ottomeyer, president
of the Commercial Club, bid them a
hearty welcome to our city and intro
duced Mayor L. A. Fritsche who well
coined them on behalf Of the citizens of
New Ulm. The Mayor said that it was
quite gratifying to him to meet so many
whom he personally knew and that it
gave him great pleasure to extend to the
guests the hospitality Of our fair city
which he called the Pearl of the Mime
sofa Valley the most thrifty and loyal
city in the Northwest. He told the visi-
tors that the name of the city was not
derived from the elm tree which is called
"Ulme'' in German, but that it was a
contraction of the words ultra limitatis
militaris. term used about two thou
sand years ago to designate the terri
tory north of the Danube. It was after
wards applied to the municipality that
grew up in the territory and the name
was finally contracted by using the first
letter of each word III. L. M" and thus
originated the name Of the city in Wuer-
temberg after which our fair city was
named.
The Mayor alsos told the jobbers that
New Ulm is the County-seat Of Brown,
the richest county in the state if the bank
deposits are any criterion. A. H. Lin
deke, of the wholesale drygoods firm of
Lindeke, Warner& Sons who is the chair
man of the jobbers, responded in their
behalf and expressed his appreciation of
the royal welcome given them. He told
the New Ulmites that this trip was one
primarily for business, that they had
come out to see the trade and in their
itinerary had given New Ulm about twice
as much time as the other cities visited.
Headed by the Second Regiment Band
and the Minnesota State Band, the job
bers and Commercial Club members then
marched up town as far as the Dakota
House where they dispersed. Between
that hour and nine o'clock the jobbers
were busy seeing the trade while the
bands furnished an open air concert. At
9 o'clock the visitors were given an auto
ride thru the city and at 10 o'clock they
departed for Sleepy Eye. VIM. Mather,
chairman of the entertainment committee
had looked after everything in such an
admirable manner that there wasn't a
hitch anywhere.
The Special carrying the jobbers is a
rain de luxe Of the Chicago & Northwest
ern lines, consisting Of observation car,
all steel electric lighted sleeping cars,
private dining car, steel tourist sleeping
car occupied by the Minnesota State
Band, steel coach and steel baggage car.

VIII SON MEDIATOR
IN TRUST BILL ROW

Efforts are being made by President
Wilson to reconcile differences which
have cropped up between the House and
Senate conferees on the Clayton anti
trust legislation. 4 deadlock has arisen
over the refusal OF the House members
to accept certain changes made in the
Senate. including the exemption Of bank
ers from the provision prohibiting inter
locking directorates and the elfmina-
ton Of the provisions containing deini-
tions Of illegal practices
The House members are said to have
taken the position that the investiga-
tions of the Pujo committee showed
that one Of the worst practices grew
out Of the interlocking relationships
between the various banks Of the cOun-
try which handle the finances Of large
trusts To exempt bankers. they say.
would he to permit to continue the
= orst evils of interloCking directorates.
The President himself IL responsible
for the elimination of the definition
clauses on the ground that definitions
being exclusive as well as inclusive.
would tend to embarass the operation
Of the trust laws. He himself proposed
that the determination of unfair prac-
tices should be left to the Interstate
Trade Commission and other courts.
Yesterday afternoon, in an effort TO
straighten out the difficulties. he had
chairman of the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee: Chairman Webb of the House

Washington. The United States
government has directed Ambassador
Henry Morgenthau at Constantinople
to ask the Ottoman government for an
explanation Of the firing by Turkish
land forces at launch from the Amer
lean cruiser Tennessee, proceeding
from vourlah to the American con-
sulate at Smyrna, Asia Minor.
Secretary Daniels, with the approval
of President Wilson. simultaneously
see and the North Carolina, also in the
Mediterranean, to take no action which
might embarrass the American gov
ernment and to await specific instruc-
tions from Washington concerning the
general situation.
These steps followed the receipt OF
message from Capt. Benton c.
Decker, commander of the Tennessee,
which was paraphrased in this state
Inent from the Navy Department:
Capt B. C. Decker, in command OF
the Tennessee, wired Secretary Dan
iels that while proceeding from Your
lah to Smyrna to make official calls.
his boat was fired az. The consul W.
anxious for safety of consulate. The
Tennessee proceeded to and left Your.
lah at request of ambassador and is
now anchored in the harbor Of Scio,
Greece, from which place Captain
Decker's telegram was sent. Secretary
Daniels wired for fuller information"
Although without definite details as
to just what occurred, high officials OF
the Washington government had nc
doubt that the incident, no matter
where the responsibility lay. would be
promptly adjusted through diplomatic
channels.
President Wilson is determined that
under no circumstances shall the
United States be involved in war
with Turkey, but he will seek an apol-
ogy If the Turkish officers acted
without the authority of the Ottoman
government and the firing was not
justified by naval procedure in
closed port, it is confidently believed
here that the Ottoman government
will render an apology.
On account OF the slow cable
communication from Constantinople
through the only available route, Bull
garia, Roumania, Austria and Italy, no
message concerning the incident came
from Ambassador Morgenthau, his last
dispatches dated Nov. IA, only arriv-
ing Wednesday. They were of rou-
tine character.
