Miss Madge found herself interest
ed. There was one firm, clear voice
that dominated the rest, though it was
lost in the shuttle now and then. The
girl caught these words:
"At least ten thousand. About two
o'clock. The corner of Willow and
Stark streets. Don't strike to Kill,
but to stun. Yes, two of them. Then

words! Here was something different

At Las that afternoon an auto with
Miss Madge Seaforth seated in the
tonneau was at the corner of Willow
and Stark streets. Three men were
leaning against wall.
From down Stark street came two
men. One Of the men carried
leather bag.
A moment more and things began
to happen. The three loungers at
tackled the two men with the bag.
There were shouts and blows and
scuffiing. The chauffeur leaped to the
walk and ran away. Miss Madge
opened the door of the vehicle and
stood screaming. She hardly realized
it when one of the men threw the bag
at her feet.

And then the girl found herself at
the wheel and speeding away. Straight
home, a mile away, and the bag was
carried into the house. 1t was then

fFron The Tribune Bureau

Washington. Nov. l7.-lnformal ne
ootiations in the Lusitania case were
resumed to-day by Secretary Lansing
and Ambassador Won Bernstorf Inc
ambassador called at the State Depart
ment- for the hrst time in several
weeks. and took up the Lusitania con-
trovcrsv where it was broken of when
the Arabic was sunk. The two diplo-
mats pledged secrecy concerning their
conference, and it is understood that no
details Of the negotiations VIII De gwen
out until an understanding is reached.
II is known, however. that the United
States and Germany are far from an
agreement as to the terms of settle
ment. Germany has made no OFFER OF
disavowal, apology or even reparation.
The United States has demanded all
three.
The German view is that disayowal
is out of the question, as the Lusitanla
is acknowledged to have been sunk oy
order of the German government, and
the commander of the attacking sub
marine has been publicly commended.
For this reason dissvowal Of the act
now could not in any sense be sincere,
but would, il given, be purely formal
Ambassador Won Bernstorf is known
to believe that all questions OF principle
were settled when the attack on the
Arabic was disavowed and assurances
given that passenger vessels would be
free from illegal molestation. This
view is not accepted by the State De
partment. which holds that the Lusi-
tania affair is technically in the same
status as before the Arabic attack.
The plan of informal negotiations, IN
stead Of formal notes was adopted to
avoid the embarrassment Of further un-
satisfactory communications from Ber-
lin. and no note will be sent by Ger
many until Secretary Lansing and Am
bassador Won Bcrnstorff have agreed on
the terms.
Present indications are that the terms
will not include disavowal. The State
Department. it is believed, will yield
that point. but will insist on an apology
and on indemnity for the American
lives lost

Copenhagen. Nov. II. The British
steamer Thelma's departure from Trel-

lying 1ince the beginning Of the war,
was marked by an exciting naval ad-
venture in which the vessel escaped
from a German destroyer through the
assistance Of the Swedish torpedo boat

On Tuesday. when south of Lands

the Thelma was pursued by a German
destroyer into Swedish territorial
waters. While the Germans we're in
the act of boarding the steamer the
Pollux forced them to return to their
boat and. running between the two
vessels. informed the Germans that
every means would be employed 10
prevent the Thelma from being taken.
After an interval of silence; in which
both warships cleared for action, the
German destroyer steamed away.

Chicago, Nov. 17.-Doomed because
it was a defective, the unnamed baby
of Mr.. and Mrs. Allen Bollinger died at
7:30 o'clock tn isevening in the German
American Hospital. Before death the
child's body began TO turn blue, due to
the impurities which organic defects
would not permit to be cast off.
The child was baptized with the name
of John shortly before it died. Mrs.
Bollinger was not informed of the death
Of the baby. DR.. H. G. Haiselden deemed
it advisable to keep the news from the
mother until morning.
City authorities began an investiga-
ton of the conduct of DR.. Haisel-
den. who, with the consent OF the par
ents. refused to perform an operation
which probably would have saved the
baby's life. The Health Commissioner,
John Dill Robertson, held conference
with Assistant Corporation Counsel
Clifford Roe, and was advised not to
issue 0eHlH CeIllhcdNt.
If the death certificate is refused the
matter will be placed in the hands of
Coroner Hoffman, and an inquest held.
The question whether the child re-
ceived proper care at the hospital will
be one of the things taken up at the
inquiry.
Doctors Watch Child Die.
Callous science, represented by a
delegation of physicians and trained
nurses, sat by the bedside of
the child. watching it die. The baby's
mother, who consented to its sacrifice,
lies in q room near that in which the
physicians awaited the end. She never
had seen her child.
The propriety Of sacrificing the un-
promising spark Of life in the infant,
that it might not grow up a burden
to itself and possible menace to so
ciety. is the subject of widespread dis
cussion. DR.. Haiselden was visited by
many medical men to-day, and tele-
phone calls alternately accused and
praised him. He remained unaltered
in his conviction that death WAS the
greatest blessing which could have
been hoped for the infant.
The principal physical deformities
of the child were the closure of the
intestinal tract, paralysis of the nerves
