rangements had been completed for
the event, which brought him here. the
review Of the Atlantic fleet tomorrow
and Tuesday and which promised to
be one of the greatest naval spectacles
ever held in the United States. Indi-
cations pointed to a most enthusiastic
reception for the executive.
The last part of the Presidents trip
from Washington was unpleasant be-
cause of a stiff northeast wind which
blew all day and made the sea chop
nv. The President, however, is a good
sailor and it is understood that he
was affected but little. Reports receiv-
ed from the Mayflower late in the day
indicated that she would put into
Gravesend bay and steam into join
the fleet early tomorrow.
Notable Welcome
Indications that notable welcome
was in store for the President were
found among the crowds that flocked
today to visit the warships of the
fleet in the Hudson river Keen inter-
est in his movements was manifest
among them. Officials pointed out that
the President promised to review the
fleet before the foreign situation be-
came tense, but the crowds persisted
in believing the occasion particularly
significant.
From the time the Presidents yacht
weighs anchor early tomorrow until late

Washington, May 1s. - Without

much significance today to intima-
tions in diplomatic quarters here

country in its reply might. offer to

ais for the unrestricted passage Of

with an agreement to abandon sub

was in progress. Officials have been
reticent about discussing the idea Of
arbitration or the proposal with ref
erence to foodstuffs, but it was indi-
Gated here that the situation had pro-
crossed to the point where the United
States would not be likely to be salts
fled with any conditional acquiescence
in the American position. The latter.
it was pointed out, is based on legal
ity and humanity, and no stipulation
could be considered which presumed
any recession by the United States
from her rights under international
law. 1t was intimated, however that
if Germany accepted the American
point of view the natural tendency of
the UNITED States would be strongly
to press it's contention on the right to
ship foodstuffs to Germany, a subject
still of diplomatic discussion.
There is a likelihood, too, that some
understanding might be reached
through the medium Of the American
government, whereby Germany might
be definitely assured that no merch-
ant ships leaving the United States
would be armed, making it possible
for submarine commanders to exer :
else the right of visit and search with
impunity.

Washington, May 16.-Correspon-

nd Ivy L. Lee, assistant to the pres
ident of the Pennsylvania Railway Co.,
relating to the broad educative cam
palgn Of publicity" conducted by Mr..
Lee for Mr.. Rockefeller in connection
with the Colorado coal strike, was
made public tonight by the Federal

The letters include those which Chair

dent Wilson by Gov. Ammons Of Col
orado was prepared under the direc-
ton of Mr.. Rockefeller. They will be
the basis for the examination Of the
latter when he resumes the stand be-
fore the commission here Tuesday.
The correspondence which covers the
period from June /. 1914, to Aug. s.
1914, contains several references to
Gov. Ammons. After Mr.. Lee and Mr..
Rockefeller had agreed upon q plan
for the distributing of a series Of bull

mind" as to the Colorado situation,
Mr.. Rockefeller wrote to Mr.. Lee that
he had prepared memorandum in re-
ply to magazine statements and let

but had decided not to make it public.
He forwarded the memorandum to Mr..
Lee.
On June II. Mr.. Lee said in a letter
to Mr.. Rockefeller:
II am inclined to think that at the mo-

to give the letter from Gov. Ammons to

Discovered Early

The fire seems to have been discov-
cred simultaneously by several sources.
The night watch saw the light from
the corner of Bridge and Water street
and rushed to give the alarm. At the
same time several of the lights at the
central telephone station showed calls
and the alarm was sounded, followed
within a short time by a second alarm.
When the department arrived the
whole interior Of the building was a
mass Of flames and it was at once ap-
parent that the building was doomed.
The strong northwest wind which pre-
vailed carried the sparks to great dis
tances across the common. Twice the

Cause Unknown

The cause of the fire will probably
forever remain mystery There had
been no fire in the heating apparatus
since last Wednesday. 1t is thought
that possibly the cause might be laid
to the electric wires. These had, how
ever, been carefully inspected within a
year and pronounced all right, so that
this as a cause is practically eliminat-
ed. The only remaining cause possible
is an incendiary. This, too, seems too
remote to be considered.

The OFFICIAL
STATEMENT
OF REFUSING
RESIGNATION

go 2. M.-Official announcement was
made here this afternoon that King
Victor Emmanuel had declined to &C
cept the resignation Of Premier Sa-
landra The Salandra cabinet is to be
retained without change.
Although it was made'known unof-
ficially last night that Signor Salan-
dra would remain at the head of the
government this announcement was
received today with great demonstra-
tons of rejoicing and manifestations
in favor of war.
The delay in making the official an
nouncement is said TO have been due
to efforts TO bring about closer CO.
operation among the various parlia
mentary sections. During the inter
val the King received number Of
prominent statesmen. Among them
was Deputy Admiral Bottole, former
minister of marine.
