STRATHARDLEIS
FREAK SHIP in
WIRELESS USE
Credited With Communicating
With British Warships but
!. Has No Apparatus .

If Captain ]. N. Lamont, master of
the British freighter, Strathardle,
which is now at quarantine wharf,
awaiting a berth to discharge ship
ment of Australian coal, carried on a
communication at long range with the
British battleship Australia and the
cruiser Warengo until the collier
reached an anchorage at Honolulu,
the skipper must have employed men
tai telepathy or some other form of
occult art, as the Strathardle is today
found unprovided with wireless tele-
graph equipment of any sort. r..
This vessel, it will be remembered
escaped the penalty exacted by the
United States authorities while on the
coast for having no wireless equip
ment, it being claimed that the freight,
er carried complement of men less
than that prescribed in the regula-
tions. H..
Captain Lamont is credited by the
morning paper with having kept up a
constant communication by wireless
with the British war vessels, which
are alleged to have conveyed the
freighter and its coal from Newcas-
tie to point within short distance
of the islands. ...
1t was following the arrival of the
British freighter Strathardle that the
report gained prominence in Honolulu
that feet of war craft was maneu-
vering outside the limits of the port,
awaiting the steaming of the German
cruiser Nurnberg.
Observers at Diamond Head and
BARRIERS Point failed to note the ap.
pearance of any such vessels, despite
the recurring rumors prevailing along
the business district today.
The Strathardle will remain in quar-
antine pending the dispatch of the
steamer Henrik Ibsen now
at the Inter-Island coal wharf. The
steamer is believed will be ready to
steam for California coast on Satur
day or Sunday The Strathardle will
then take the place vacated by the

Rumors of battles on the high seas
were prevalent around Honolulu this
morning, following the report alleged
to have been made by the captain Of
the Strathardle to the effect that a
couple OF British warships were wait
ing for the Nurnberg outside of Ho-
nolulu harbor.
One rumor that gained considerable
circulation was to the effect that the
Nurnberg had met the enemy and
was theirs excepting for the fact that
she made good her escape and was
limplng into the harbor again for pro-
lection.
Another report had foreign warships
sighted off the coast of Oahu at nu-
merous different points and in vary
ing numbers. At some points the OPP

new BALLOTS TO
BERESULTFROM
Spirited FIGHT
Democrats Divided as to Le-
gality of Form Arranged and
Printed at Clerks Instance

For threequarters of an hour this
morning Republican, Democratic and
Progressive representatives wrangled
between themselves and with Terri,
torial Secretary Thayer, Attorney
General Stainback, City and County
Attorney Cathcart and City and Coun-
ty Clerk David Kalauokalani over the
form in which the baflots for the pri-
mary election have been printed. The
discussion, which was held at the ter
ritorial secretary's office, ended few
minutes after noon in a compromise
that will result in reprinting all the
ballots for Oahu and Kauai, and possi.
bly, Maui, though the Maui sample
ballots have not yet been received
and their form is not yet known. The
Hawaii county ballot was approved as
to form, and will be permitted to re.
main unchanged. +.
The reprinting of the Oahu ballot,
according to the compromise form
agreed upon, will cost the county an
additional $500. There were two OBJ
jections to it, as raised by Secretary
Thayer in letter which he sent to
County Clerk K4lauonalani yesterday,
but one protest was finally dropped
by the secretary today, following the
compromise on the other.
An interesting feature of the situa-
tion today is that NJ. C. Pacheco,
chairman of the Democratic territorial
central committee, while not present
at the meeting in Thayer's office, has
taken position directly opposite to
that of McCandless and Thayer. Pa
checo says he believes the present
form is proper. entirely fair and le.
gal according to the primary law

even in that event democrats believe that ex-Presdent Taft, Penrose, Cannon and other leaders whose political future would be doomed in the event of Roose- velts election to the presidency would be powerful enough to defeat him, even as he was powerful enough to defeat them in 1912.
 Must Eliminate Colonel
 In other words, the democratic leaders will not say a reconciliation of the two wings of the republican party is impos- sble, but they do say and believe that the only way it can be brought about is for the colonel to eliminate himself as the nominee of the reunited party. This they believe, he will never do, and from that reason they are convinced that the campaign in 1916 will be pretty much a repetition of the campaign of 1912.
 Democrats declare there is nothing to fear for the party "The canal tolls issue failed to develop in magnitude, what our opponents hoped for they say. '"It was not a party question anyway. and the democratic party is a united and abso- lutely harmonious organization was the declaration of one of the House leaders. we will retain the majority in the House-possible not quite so great a one as in this Congress, but big enough. and we will re-elect Wilson, or some other democrat in 1916''
 The democrats also declare that there
 is every evidence that the country is ap- proa ching q wave of prosperfty they be- lievethat a general revival of business in all lines will be in evidence by Novem- Der. and with this return to confidence and with the fact that the party can go out on the stump and point to the fidelity with which it has discharged It's obliga- tions to the people and lived up to the essential things it has promised in return for the confidence shown in the party by the people will insure a continuation of that confidence.
 Not much stock Is taken here In the .get together programme proposed by members of both the progressive and re- publican parties It Is believed that Roosevelt's job of adisrupting the old or ganization was too thoroughly done to be patched up this early.

MEETING AT WOODLAWN
Women Interested in Girls Work Will
 Hear Miss Kennedy

Tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 there will be mass meeting for women interested in girls at the Presbyterian church in Woodlawn. Mrs. James w. King. chair man of the Woodlawn district for girls work, will preside over the meeting.
 Miss Minnie l.. Kennedy is the speaker of the day. her subject being: Our Duty to the Girls Miss Kennedy is secretary of the Birmingham Sunday School asso- ciation, and has had wide experience in girls work. She is known in Birming- ham and elsewhere as an able speaker, and it is expected her presence at the Woodlawn mass meeting will add greatly to the interest in that section.
 Others on the programme are Mrs. Ed ward VanKeuren, who will render a solo, and Mrs. c. H. Nesbitt, who conducts the devotional. The Woodlawn district stands second in the list of efficiency of all the districts in Birmingham. North Birming- ham is considered one of the most ef- ficient districts in organized class work and the Woodlawn district is one class behind. It is expected a new class will be organized at tomorrow's mass meeting which will place the two districts on an equal footing.

 It may soon be said, if it Is not al- ready true, that travelling on standard American railways Is the safest thing in the world The Pennsylvania, for in- stance. last year handled 1110O0,000 passengers without killing one in a train accident This was equal to the population of the United States. in add ition to about three times the population of Greater New York, including the towns of the Jersey mainland This road handled nearly 600,000.000 pass engers or more than one-third of the population of the globe, in the past six years, during which only 16 passengers lost their lives. In this time. out of E., 000,000 trains run, only five met with wrecks resulting in the deaths of pass engers It takes very high business morale to get such result.

MEDIATORS ACCEPT

The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-05-30
Consider Agreement

Niagara Falls, Ont, May 29,-Consid- eratlon of an agreement between the Huerta government and the United States was interrupted temporarily to- day when Juan F. Urquidi, a representa- l tive of General Carranza, laid before the South American envoys a note ex- pressing surprise that the mediation
 negotiations were continuing with the
 constitutionalists unrepresented
 After a long debate the mediators de- cided not to permit Urquidi to present the communication. Then after a con ference with American delegates the mediators admitted the Carranza emisary. The following statement was issued by envoys:
 The mediators have received a com munication from a representative of General Carranza, the tenor of which differs entirely from the version con- tained in a news dispatch this morning from Durango and does not disturb the course of the negotiations.
 Whether answer will be made to Gen. eral Carranza or his representative in Washington is not known outside of the diplomatic tribunal The mediators refused to answer questions on the sub Ject. Attaches, however, reiterated that the proceedings could be reopened with a constitutionalist present only if Gen eral Carranza agreed to a suspension of hostilities.
 Considerably Embarrassed
 Mr. Urquidi met with considerable embarrassment in delivering his mes sage. When he sent his card to the mediation chamber word came back that the mediators were busy. He waited an hour and then sent up a note saying he did not come to discuss issues, but merely to deliver a message. The medi- ators then received him and questioned him about the contents of the note He was asked particularly if it was as re- ported in news dispatch from Du- rango. to which he replied that the sub stance was the same, but the phrase ology different The mediators doubted | the wisdom of receiving Urquidi and | finally told him to return at o'clock. During the afternoon the mediators conferred among themselves and the
 word was passed around generally that
 the communication would not be ac-
 cepted. Finally the American dele gates came over to the Canadian side.
 They talked for more than an hour,
 then urquidi was summoned Minister
 Naon accepted the note on behalf of
 the envoys and MT. Urquidi was dis
 missed, The document was signed by
 Rafael Zubaran, Capmany. minister of
 interior in the constitutfonalist cabinet,
 who is in Washington. It was written
 on explicit instructions from General Carranza, The original instructions to
 the minister are contained in the fol-
 lowing message published from Du- rango today:
 "Six days ago conferences began to treat the international conflict between the United States and Mexico occa- sioned by the arrest of several Ameri- can sailors by soldiers of Huerta at sTamptco To solve this conflict you of-
 fered( to the government of the United
