BERLIN GETS CODE
Note to Be Published in Fri
day Morning Papers, Ac-
c0rding to Decision of the
Cabinet.

WASHINGTON, May !3.-Presiden.
Wilson's note to Germany on the Lus-
itania and other attacks upon Ameri-
can lives and property on the high
seas is now being coded and the first
section of it already has been trans
mittec to the German foreign office
in Berlin. The note, it is declared, is
as forcible as it is possible to make it
without actually furnishing justifica-
tion for a declaration of war by Ger
many.
The note of the United States to
Germany will be released for publica-
ton in Friday mornings papers. 1t
contains about 1000 words and the
translation by cable to Germany prob
ably will not be completed until
o'clock this evening
Holds Germany Accountable.
President Wilson in his message no.
titled Germany that he would hold
the German government to strict ac-
countability" for its destruction of
American life and property.
One fact definitely ascertained is:
The United States does not make
any demand for financial reparation
for the loss of American lives on the
United States. No specific kind of rep
aration is asked for.
In drafting the note the President
had three thoughts in mind:
To Soticf,- q 1e
United States. To arouse Germany 10
realization of her offense against
the rights of neutrals and finally to
stop short any statements which rea-
Sonably could be regarded by Ger
many as justification for declaring
war.
Risk Eventualities.
The president and his advisers in
determining the character of the note
were aware of the ventualities which
night follow. These were weighed
with the greatest care and the deter
mination was reached that the United
States owed it TO herself and human
ity to accept the risk
The final touches were put on the
note by the president shortly after
midnight last night.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels call
ed on him today to congratulate him
on the note and to discuss certain
features OF it. 1t was announced after
Secretary Daniels had seen the presi-
dent that the plans for the review of
the fleet in New York are unchanged.
The president will leave Washington
Saturday on the Mayflower and will
return Wednesday or Thursday The
Mayflower will go without convoy. Al
/, though President Wilson will make a
talk at Mitchells luncheon at the Bal
timore hotel it is thought likely he
will discuss the international situa-
ton.
The German embassy today disa-
vowed having received any instruc-
tions from the German government
regarding the American note.

NJ. c. Henley After 33 Years
Active Leadership, Retires
to Look After Other Busi-
ness Interests.
RE-ORGANIZES PLANT
Name of ''Henley" Retained
on Output of Factory
Rated as One Of Largest in
Country.

With the completion of the negotia-
lions involved in the change of active
management of the Henley Roller
Skate Co., John H. Williams, the new
manager, is busy re-systematizing and
re-organizing the factory.
Mr.. Williams declined this morninS
10 say whether he bought the factory
outright or make public any of the
details OF the transaction other than
to say that he has taken over the
factory and will manage it under the
name Of the John H. Williams Co.,
manufacturers of Henley Roller
Skate.
The negotiations which brought
about the change in the management
were completed on May 5 and since
that time Mr.. Williams has had
charge making an investigation of the
conditions of the plant.
Mr.. Henley Retres.
M. G. Henley. who has had personal
charge of the factory since he organ.
lied the company thirty-three years
ago and began the manufacture of
roller-skates, will now give his whole
time to other personal interests and
business investments. Mr.. Henley is
retired capitalist
Mr.. Williams is a former Richmond
resident, was born here and is a
brother-in12U of Mr. Henley. For the
last thirty years he has been connect
ed with firm, manufa cturing playing
cards in Cincinnati and which was
capitalized at three million dollars
When he severed his connection with
this concern he held the position OF
sales and advertising manager
Adrian Clark of the Stewart-Kidd
Stationery Co. of Cincinnati has beer
selected by Mr.. Williams as assistant
manager of the roller skate company
and will come to Richmond next Mon
day to begin his new duties.
Preserves Old Name.
The Henley Roller Skate Company
has been recognized as the largest anC
most prominent manufacturers of roll
er-skates in the country. For this rea
son and because of the reputation il
has gained in business dealings, Mr.
Williams says the name of "Henley'
will continue to be used
With the close of the winter season
work at the factory declined and fol
the last few weeks little business has
been done. During the coming summer
months, advantage will be taken of the
dull season by Mr. Williams and Mr.
Clark to become thoroughly acquaint
ed with the trade and prepare to give
impetus to the business which viii
open next fall.
Extensive improvements are no,
| thought likely but changes will be
made as required by the business.

JUDGE DELAYS
TAKING ACTION
IN LIGHT CASE
Attorneys Argue Light, Heat
and Power Demurrer to In
junction to Prevent I'm
proving Plant.

One hour each was used by Attorney
Wilfred Jessup for the Light, Heat and
Power company against the restrain
ing order granted the city to prevent
the addition of new building and
new equipment for the electric plant
of the privately owned company, which
the city seeks to purchase.
Judge Comstock is not expected to
rule on the demurrer for several days
If he sustains it the private utility will
continue with it's plans for enlarge,
ment unless the city can amend its
complaint asking for an injunction
If the demurrer Is overruled, the hear.
ing of the city's petition for a perma
nent injunction will continue.
Need New Equipment.
The argument advanced by the
Light, Heat and Power company attor
ney is that the city has no right tc
prevent the addition of equipment tc
take care of business of the private
corporation and that the new equip.
ment must be added at once to pro
vide for the business the company now
has.
Attorney Jeesup said the hearing OF
the public utilities commission to es
tablish the compensation the Light
Heat and Power company should re
ceive from the city for it's electric
plant will not be completed until late
in June and the purchase price not
be fixed until the middle of July
After that the city has 120 days to
decide whether or not 1t desires tc
purchase the plant.
City Attorney Bond declared i. the
plans of the Light. Heat and Power
company were hastily made to in
crease the price the city would have
to pay for the private plant. He sale
the city's purchase plans would be
carried through within a short time
and, with the combination of the two
plants, there would be adequate equip
ment to take care of all Richmond
business and all outside contract busi
ness now held by the Light, Heat anc
Power company.
