WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Adminis-
tration officials saw hardly chance
today that the Arabic incident will
loom up again as a threat against
continued friendly relations between
the United States and Germany.
It was recognized that explanations
are yet to come-that, technically the
United States is only suspending
Judgment and that Germany's account
Of the sinking Of the White Star
liner with the Incidental loss Of lives
OF two American passengers, may In
theory, not be satisfactory when 1t
comes.
It was learned on reliable authority.
however, that the administration has
not at any time believed Germany
would be unable to make a satisfac

that the people were similarly ayerse

ciliatory spirit.
Ofacialdom's chief anxiety, how
ever. was that Germany was not in a
conciliatory mood; that its answer
would be unsatisfactory or that there
would be no answer at all In such
an event 1t was conceded the United
States was committed to line OF pol

matte relations and such a break In

but be prelude to war.
I. The German request that nothing
be done until the kaiser can make an
oficial report to Washington. was
looked on as completely eliminating
this danger. II the German govern
ment had not intended to do every
thing possible to satisfy the United
States, It was felt certain that 1t
would have made no such request as
the one received by the state depart
ment from Won Bernstorff yesterday.
And II Germany docs everything pos
sible," It was stated the United States
will be satisfied there will be no dip
diplomatic break and certainly no
wal.
Germany's expression of its attitude
concerning the Arabic case-its dis
avowal OF ''unfriendly intentions. De
liberate or otherwise-was regarded
as having an important bearing on
the future.
The feeling hitherto has been that

Police Theory is That Several Men Surprised Him
While Alone in His Home, Dragged

The ground for 200 yards about Rev.
Kayser's home was roped off before
daybreak, so the morbidly curious
would not destroy the scent Of tho
men who killed the minister.
Police investigation today developed
several interesting facts regarding
Rev. Kayser's life here. His church
and the parsonage were all along tho
line of German architecture Every
thing had a teutonic atmosphere.
A canary brought over from Ger
many by the pastor, was found dead
In its cage this morning.
Rev. Kayser had been receiving
threatening letters ever since he
first began to preach the teuton cause
as we'll as the gospel He profeased
he had no fear. when he showed some

these letters ceased. Several days
ago he again began receiving them.
Most OF them were written In Ger

nounced the entente allies. Chief OF

the murder was an act Of revenge on

Slay workers in the steel mills.
The minister's body was found In q
c.ump of bushes near his home by

There was bullet wound In the
tshoulder and another In the neck
where an artery had been severed.
Curtain cords were tightly tied about
1 the neck and right wrist. Physicians
to-day said the neck wound caused
death. Evidence pointed to the theory
that several men had attacked Rev,
Kyaser in his home, and after ter
rife fight in which furniture was
broken and scattered about, dragged
him outside and shot him. The mur-
derers chose time when the victim
was alone. His wife and two daugh-

Washington. June 1O.-Germany. in
the note on the case CT the William
P. Frye, the American ship sunk by
Prinz Eitel Friedrich, has Informed
the United States it interprets the
Prussian-American treaty of 1928 to
mean that the American vessels were
carrying contraband and can be de.
stroyed. Payment is promised for the
destruction but the right to destroy
is asserted as logical inference
from the language OF the treaty
In reiterating that she stands
ready to pay damages for losses to
American citizens occasicned by the
sinking of the Frye, Germany insists
that the prize court mus first pass
on the legality G: the capture OF the
vessel. The argument advanced by
the United States is that the prize
court is unnecessary since Compensa'
ton is promised whenever there Is
violation Of treaty 1923 is rejected.
Liability for the sinking of the
Frye is still admitted, but Germany
contends the case was not a viola
ton" OF the treaty. Just what reply
the United States will be is not
known definitely, but 1t IS considered
certain that the American govern
ment will not acquiesce in the new
Interpretation given the treaty by

BRYAN'S VOCAL !: Y.
EARNING POWER !.
IS VERY GREAT

Washington, June 1e.-The earning
power of William J. Bryan as a plat
form lecturer on the chautauqua cir
cult was estimated today by the man
ager of lyceum bureau. Based up
on Mr.. Bryan's present scale Of prices
this manager shows that by dill
gently devoting his attention to tho
chautauqua and lyceums the former
secretary of state can earn more than
$138,000 a year. The salary of sec.
retary Of state is $4,000 yearly.
With Mr.. Bryan's physical strength
and vocal vitality it is possible for
him to deliver three lectures day.
and he has done it upon more than
one tour. This. however, would re.
quire careful booking, with short
jumps between towns. But it is en-
tirely feasible, it is stated. to book
him throughout the chautauQua sum-
mei season of about II weeks, so he
can make two lectures day, except
Sunday or total Of 70 a week.
1t is generally known among the
lyceum bureaus that Mr.. Bryan's
terms are as follows: ..s
He receives a guarantee OF $2oU TOT
each lecture. After that amount IS
taken in at the gate, he and the man.
agement divide the remainder, $3.50.
Under this arrangement Mr.. Bryan's
share will average $3.50 right through
the season. This would give him a
gross income of 1920 week, or
$500 for the chautauqua season Of
IA weeks.
During the remaining 3S weeks Of
the year this lyceum manager esti-
mated that Mr.. Bryan could average
six lectures week nicely, which
would give a gross income Of $2,100

Attire For a
Bridegroom

Bathing suits at weddings are re-
ported to be the latest in fashion at
Mandan. Wen take that back. We
mean at receptions, Out not to be
worn at the wedding proper.
The style was set by William H.
Ordway Of Minneapolis, who took for
his bride one Of tMandans society
bellies, Thursday evening. OF course,
the style came as a great surprise to
the many personal friends gathered
at the home of the brides parents,
but many in tie younger social set
are said to be planning on purchasing
suits Of this character for future af-
fairs. The bridegroom of Thursday
eve won't get away With anything of
that character alone" after this.
1t happened this way. according to
good authority Several of Mr.. Ord.
ways best friends thought it would
be a good joke to play on him, if they
handed him over for the third de.
gree" to a party OF young men gath.
cred in front OF the brides parental
residence to chariyari The happy pair,
and without any ceremony they pro-
ceeded to do so.
Twenty willing hands grabbed the
protesting groom when he appeared
outside and the next picture showed
him in an automobile being rushed to
the home Of one Of the young men.
Upon reaching this destination the
still protesting groom was relieved OF
all his clothes and forced to don a
bathing suit, which some say, was
several sizes too small for said
groom.
Attired in this summery costume,
this husband of the new bride was
rushed back in the same automobile
and deposited among his friends
again (minus the evening clothes) but
still retaining the bathing suit.
After the door was closed on the
incident, we can relate no further de-
tails, but time will only tell as to
how favorably this new style has been
received by the Mandan young peo-
pie.
