Washington Will Use Every
Available Means of Diplo-
macy to Keep Cotton Off
COntraband List.

WASHINGTON, Aug 16.-The ad-
ministration is preparing to resist Wig
orously the British proposal to put cot
ton on the contraband list. II cotton
be made contraband of war. It will be
over the emphatic protests Of the
United States. and the administration
is ready to exhaust every diplomatic
means to prevent q further blow to
American shipping.
When the cabinet meets tomorrow,
it is expected that President Wilson
will take up the British blockade sit
uation. The administration has ready
its reply to the recent British notes In
defense of the order In council. and
the blockade. This government rejects
all of the contentious raised BY Great
Britain In her notes and strongly en-
phasizes the impatience of American
shippers over the continuance of pres.
ent onerous restrictions.
In connection with the British block
ade controversy. the vital question Of
cotton naturally will arise for consid-
GRAFTON by President Wilson and his
advisers. 1t is realized that II Great
Britain should make cotton contra
band, such an act will add vastly to
the troubles of the administration.
The south already is aroused over
present conditions which menace mar
keting Of the crop and II the staple
be declared contraband. the admins
tration is aware that great wave Of
protest will sweep over shipping and
cotton producing circles.

E. NJ. Campfield Objects to
Proposed Contract Be-
tween City and North
Ninth Street Citizens.
WANTS CITY TO PAY
Main Street Property Hold
ers Want Ornamental Plan
But Ask Board to Meet
Greater Share.

Saturday the board of public work,
notified inquiring property owners OF
North Ninth street, between Main and
North A streets, that the city would
agree to furnish current, without cost
to the propery owners, and would also
assume the maintenance cost in the
event the property owners assumed
the entire installation cost Of of q
proposed ornamental lighting system
in that block. including the cost of in
stalling the standards and lamps al
the two intersections.
North Ninth street business men de
clared this proposal to be fair one
and they are now preparing petition
in the form of contract. for the in
stallation of the lighting system. thir
teen standards, each surmounted by q
large arc lamp, under the terms out
lined by the board
campfeid Pretssts.
Today e. M. Campfield and A. C.
Lfndemuth. owners Of Main stree,
business properties, appeared before
the board and declared the city had
no legal right to enter into such an
agreement with North Ninth street
business men. They declared that un.
der the provisions of the state law the
city would have to pay the cost OF
lamps erected at street intersections
and they expressed the opinion that
an ornamental system could not be
provided for Main street unless the
city agreed to meet the expenses of in
stalling standards at Intersections.
Mr.. Lindemuth urged the board not
to enter into a contract with the
North Ninth street business men, un-
der plans outlined by the board. until
Main street business interests had had
an opportunity of submitting their
proposal. IF you act on this Ninth
street petition you will have estab-
lished a precedent, and we are not
convinced that such a precedent would
be satisfactory one," Mr.. Lindemuth
declared
City Attorney Bond admitted that the
plan proposed for installing an orna-
mental lighting system on North Ninth
street was not in accordance with the
state law, but he said that II every
property owner in the first block of
North Ninth street entered into a con-
tract with the city to install lamps
under the arrangement agreed upon
1t was not necessary to comply with
the provisions Of the law.
Superintendent Kleinknecht OF the
plant has estimated the
cost Of installing thirteen lamps on
North Ninth street, using the best type
Of standards and the best kind of
lamps, will be approximately $500 or
a cost to each property owner of about
$1.47 a front foot. 1t would cost the
city about $50 per lamp per year for
current and maintenance

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-while

more than 400 Americans are starving
In Mexico City. So serious is their
situation that 120 of them have asked
that they be sent back to the States

that Is done. Other Americans insist
on remaining in their homes and have
demanded that the United States see
that they are fed and protected.

President Wilson. directed that Con-

In response to the representations
Of the United States. the bishop OF
Vera Cruz was released according to
report from Silliman.
Following his conference with Pres.

the joint peace appeal to the leaders.
The reason, he said. was that the Lat.

United States in the effort to arrange

This evening the various bids will

question of whether the city should

ions OF the new workmen's compensa-

The county council will meet next
Saturday afternoon to consider the ad

the council. and, according to express
sions Of the commissioners. they will
insist that council make an approprta-

The commissioners, in session Sat
urday afternoon. were Of the opinion
that 1t is necessary to take steps at
once to relieve the congested traffic
condition and q temporary bridge
seems the most advisable expedient.
The traction company assured ths
county that II the city does not allow
the company to operate heavy inter-
urban freight cars over the Doran
bridge. It will join with the county in
constructing q temy0rary bridge at
the site of the old National Road
bridge. ..z
Want Temporary Bridge.
Even IL the company Is permitted by
the city to operate cars over the Doran
bridge, the commissioners believe that
1t is necessary to build bridge for
wagon and foot traffic to accommodate
the people on the west side Of the riv-
er, as well as the traffic now passing
over the National road. Business men
have demanded the commissioners
make some arrangements and the board
holds that the demand is just one.
According to several members Of the
county council. the most advisable
thing to do at present, is to make an
appropriation for an additional inves-
tigation Of the condition of the bridge.
II this is done, it is probable that the
question of building temporary bridge

At the city hall today the opinion
was generally expressed that before
the end of the week a definite plar
will have been formulated for relieving
the congestion of traffic on the Dorar
bridge, brought about by the closing
Of the Main street bridge.
City officials are inclined to believe
that arrangements will be made fol
the Strengthening of the Doran bridge
to permit traction passenger and
freight cars to operate over It and that
a temporary bridge will be constructed
on the site of the old National road
bridge for use of all traffic passing
along Main street, with the exception
Of street and interurban cars. The
city officials believe the county will
assume the entire expense of erecting
the temporary structure, which should
cost approximately $4,000, and would
require month to construct. -.

II the Doran bridge can be strength.
ened for the use Of traction cars the
Ira ction company will assume the en-
tire expense of such an Improvement,
General superintendent Je6eries has
assured the county cOnlmission1xA
The company could not oterate its
cars over the Doran bridge without the
consent OF the city council, but II is
not anticipated that there would be
any difficulty in securing permission
Of that body for the temporary opera
tion Of such cars over the bridge.
Today members of the board OF
public works discussed the advisable
ity Of providing an appropriation in
next years budget for the painting Of
the Doran bridge. One OF the board
members, John McMinn, expressed the
opinion that it would be wise plan
to have this structure painted this
year. He said the $1,000 fund set
aside for the improvement of the old
dumping grounds on the west river
bank could be used to defray the ex-
pense of such improvement, that fund
to be replaced by an appropriation in
the 1916 budget. No decision was
arrived at by the board.
The Doran bridge is badly in need
of new coating Of paint, as it has
not been painted in twelve years. The
Tenth street bridge is also in need of
painting.
