END ARABIC CRISIS
German Note Affords NegO-
table Basis for Settlement.
Won BernstOrff to lansing;
Both Are Silent.

New York Oct. Count Won
Bernstorff, the German, ambassador,
delivered to Secretary Lansing today
note from the German government
concerning the Arabic case, which, 1t
is understood, affords negotiable
basis for the settlement of the ques-
ton.
The ambassador was closeted with
Secretary Lansing for only few min
utes. leaving with him a note. the
conten of which was not disclosed
Both the secretary and the ambassa-
dor decided that nothing concerning
it would be announced.
1t is understood the secretary will
take the note with him to Washing
ton, and after discussing it with
President Wilosn will indicate whether
it is satisfactory.
1t was learned reliably that the note
Finishes a basis for further negotia-
tions, and from this it was inferred
that while admitting the principle
that merchantmen would not be tor
pedoed without warning, Germany was
anxious to submit to arbitration the
question of fact as to whether or not
the Arabic was engaged in a hostile
act at the time she was torpedoed
and how much indemnity must be paid
as a consequence, if the verdict is
against the German commander.

DAM WENT OUT"
What the Merchants journal Says
of Stamp Incident.
From the Merchants Journal

[From the Merchants Journal
The dam went out in Topeka last
Sunday morning, and a flood of pre-
MUM stamp advertising struck the
town.
In other words, the agreement
which had existed between the Topeka
Capital and Topeka merchants and
the Topeka Journal to accept no
premium stamp advertising, or adver-
Using in which premium stamps were
mentioned, was abrogated by the Capt.
tai. The Capital appeared Sunday
with about five pages of stamp ads.
The green stamp people were jubi-
liant. They said they didn't care what
the State journal might DO now, that
they would give them some stamp
advertising if they wanted it, but they
were not going to worry about it a
bit The Journal on Monday an
nounced that IT would stand pat and
continue to, refuse stamp advertising.
C. S Todd, manager of the Sperry
e. Hutchinson local office, says:
The Capital saw the light at last They
told that they thought they could keep
us out of Topeka by agreeing to bar our
advertising, but we have been here nearly
two years now, and have established
place in the community, with ten
ployees and with some of the very best
stores in town among our patrons, and so
any longer. That's all there was to it,

GERS were in the clubrocm when Pres
ident Welborn called them to order.
Among the miners delegates were
seven from Fremont county, all of
whom declared themselves members
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea and former strikers.
Practically all the other delegates
were non-union men, most of them
having worked for the company dur
ing the strike.
Mr.. Rockefeller, in opening his adj
dress to the meeting, said:
This a red letter day in my life
This is the first time I have ever had
an opportunity to speak to the delee-
gates of the miners and to the officers
of the company together. This is
day which / shall remember to my
dying day.

members to present three demands tc
every railroad in the United States ano
Canada 1t will be the most stupen-
dous movement ever inaugurated by
organized workmen.
The Brotherhood of Locomotive En-

Join in the concerted effort TO secure
these concessions:
Eight hour day.

Overtime in passenger service snail
be paid on a basis of 3 instead OF 10
miles per hour.
Heretofore the conductors and
trainmen have divided the country
into three districts-the eastern, west
ern and southeastern. When conces-
sions have been asked, each district
has acted independently of the others.
Now IL is proposed to unite the three
districts and make a concerted de-
mand for the three concessions. NO
other subject will be considered.
The western and southeastern dis
tricts have voted to unite, and rem
resentatives of the eastern district
will decide in a few days to join IN
the movement. The locomotive fire
men are said to be in favor of the
plan while the leading officials of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
have been agitating for such a move
ment for months.
Agreements between the western
railroads and locomotive engineers
and firemen do not expire until May
II. 1916. If they join the new wage
movement the demands will be pre-
scented to every railroad March II,
1915. This will give sixty days notice
as required by many of tlhe contracts.
If they do not join. the conductors
and trainmen will act alone some
time in December.
Railroad officials in Topeka are
much concerned over the situation.
The question affects all roads run
