Deputy U. s. Marshal Mark Howe
passed through Grangeville the last of
the week enroute to the Salmon river
country where he arrested Ben Apple
by upon warrant charging him with
the introduction of liquor upon the
Indian reservation. He was brought
before Commissioner Wright who held
him under a bond of $3.50 which de-
fendant was unable to furnish and was
therefore taken to Lewiston by the
marshal where he will remain until the
next term of federal court. Defendant
was found on the breaks of the Snake
where he had secured employment as a
ranch hand and the trip was not the
most pleasant one.

EACH NUMBER ON PROGRAM HAD

GOOD APPLAUSE.

Every Act a Feature-A Big Program
With Ten Acts-Mrs A. M. Baker
Scores Success in Directing Show.

The Home Talent Vaudeville show
given last Friday evening scored de-
cided success and large and appre-
ciative audience enjoyed the efforts of
the local performers. Mrs. A. M.
Baker is entitled to great praise in her
work of direction, and her efforts for
the success of the show were aided by
the cooperation of many others whose
talent and ability aid in making home
shows a success. The bill was generous
and the program long. On account of
the audience gathering late, the perfor-
nance being prolonged for that reason,
one act, the farce comedy, "Wives
Wanted in Squashville was cut off of
the bill.
The first number on the program was
the bali room scene in which the
Pavlowara Gavotte was featured, and
the beautiful dance was one of the
most pleasing numbers on the program,
proving to be favorite. The second
number on the program was solo and
chorus, by the Rebekah chorus girls,
the solo part being taken by Mr.. King
who has splendid voice and rendered
the musical end of the number with
credit to himself. The song "Rebekah
of Sunnybrook Farm was featured.
"Frost Brothers. offered some black

of the show and tickle the funny bones
of their auditors.

FIRE SUNDAY NIGHT.
Prompt Response Of Fire Department
Soon Puts Fire out-$20O0 Insurance.

Fire broke out in the Bibby house
which is just behind the Schmadeka
block sometime Sunday night and was
discovered about midnight when the
alarm was turned in, The fire already
had a good start when discovered and
flames were shooting up from the roof
at the back of the house when the fire
department boys arrived. Within 80
minutes the boys had the fire under
control, several lines of hose being
played on the flames. No one has been
living in the house for some time al
though there was some furniture in the
house. The origin of the fire is a mys-
terry. 1t evidently started under the
stairway and from there burned up
through the stair and burned through
the roof at the back of the house.
Every room in the house is more or less
damaged and the wall paper in nearly
every room is scorched badly.
Two thousand dollars insurance was
carried on the house which will cover
the damages caused by the fire. The
prompt and efficient work of the fire
boys had much to do with putting the
fire out quickly and averting great
amount Of damage. The water pres
sure was unusually good and one sec
tion of hose bursted after it had been
connected with the hydrant and the
water turned on.

tofore have again assured me of their
loyalty and support the same as of old.
Some of you of course have heard and
read considerable of the show proposed
to be held at North Yakima, and in
this connection ! want to say that the
members who are supporting that show
are not in any way unloyal to the
Northwest Livestock show and sale at
Lewiston. They figure what is good
for one locality is also good for anoth-
er, and it is their sincere intention to
support both shows
Mr.. Sweet made an appeal for show
this fall stating that doubled efforts
would be put forth, the appropriation
of the state having failed, saying:
"Under the circumstances which we
held the show last fall, the stress of
money matters and the weather and
all, our sales were not great success,
but this year everything at this time
points to a radically optimistic atmos-
phere in the livestock business and all
others while it was dark last year. The
cattle interests never looked as bright
as they do now We must stay with
the livestock industry, on account of
the productivity of the SOIL which will
not pay as largely from grain and other
farming, without the raising of live
stock in connection. 1t behooves us
especially in the employment of labor
to push and encourage this branch of
industry to its utmost limit. As / see
it, as all history bears me out, all agri-
cultural countries have to come to that
before they can prosper. l hope you
can give me definite assurance that
you can eccept this proposition as com.
ing from me so that can put it before
| the board of directors and so that we
| can make our arrangements to meet
this emergency which we are confront
ed with this year."
1t was the opinion of the business
men present that Lewiston should ac
cept the conditions which Mr.. Sweet
| outlined, and that Lewiston by al
means should undertake to meet the
wishes of the association for this
years show and do it's best until such
a time as the desired aid would come
from the state. This view was ex
pressed by President R. s. Erb, G. F
Osmers, VIM. Thompson, Mr., Quilliam
A. s. Stacy and Storey Buck.
MIR. Hastings, of Kamiah, assured
the meeting if his friendly feeling to
ward Lewiston and his deep interest il
the Northwest Livestock show, he hav
ing been a member of that association
since it was but handful Of men a
Grangeville. He pledged his loyal sup
port for this years show and said h,
would be glad to meet it financially il
proportion to his abilities.

note Of July IA, apoloeizing for at
tempting to sink the American steamer
Nebraskan. The German government
declared that the Nebraskan was tor.
pedoed without warning in the beilei
that it was a British vessel.
In that note Germany made 1t plain
that it considered it proper TO torpedo
enemy merchant ships without notihca-
ton and without providing for the
safety of those on board. The note
caused irritation here, but was disre-
garded, as it was felt that the situa-
ton had been dealt with adequately in
the note on the Lusitania.
The Nebraskan, like the Arabic, was
westward bound, and therefore could
not be suspected Of carrying contraband
or Of offering any opportunity for plea
of military necessity" That Germany Is
thus willing to jeopardize the friend
ship of the American nation in cause
in which no military ADVANTAGE is IN
voked is regarded by many officials as
the most certain indication of the
slight value she sets on friendly rela-
tions with the United States.

BREAK WITH KAISER

commander. II is plain, they say, that
Germany no longer desires the friend
ship of the United States, as Berlin
had every opportunity to know that
American passengers were aboard the
Arabic and no reason TO believe that
all would be saved.
II no American lives were lost on the
Arabic it will be regarded as extremely
fortunate, but in no way as palllating
circumstance. The saving of the Amer
leans, while thought by certain officials
to temper the situation to some de-
gree, will not be regarded generally as
affecting the illegal and inhuman nat
ure of the act itself, in which the
safety of the passengers was not con-
sidered.
The only loophole by which the Ger
man government may escape the conse-
auences Of the deed officials say, is a
complete disavowal of the submarines
attack. This would predicate a dis
avowal also of the sinking Of the Lusi-
tania. II is not thought that the Ger
man government will take this step, in
view of the certain hostility of the Ger
man people to such a course.
In some ways the Arabic case is re-
garded as even more ftaye than that
of the Lusitania, as in the latter the
German government was at least able
to offer the argument that the ship was
bearing ammunition to be used against
her armies. Furthermore, the Arabic
was on it's way to this country with a
cargo which, il is believed, in large
part belonged to American merchants
and was of such character that the plea
that it was contraband cannot be raised.
News Of the attack on the Arabic
came as a decided surprise, as Ger
many's conduct of the submarine cam
paign during the last three months had
led officials here to believe that her
policy as to passenger ships had been
altered since the Lusitania affair.
Ambassador Won Bernstorf's assur-
snces to Secretary Lansing, made over
month ago, are recalled The am
bassador told the Secretary that the
German government had decided not
to attack passenger ships without
warning and that no recurrence Of the
Lusitania catastrophe was to be ex-
pected.
Destroys German Plea.
Oficial dispatches stating on the au-
thority of survivors that the Arabic
sank in eleven minutes after being nit
BY the torpedo recalled the German
plea that the rapid sinking of the Lusi-
tania was due TO munitions in the hold
which exploded and caused her to sink
much more rapidly than was expected.
The Arabic carried no munitions, and
yet sank in one-third the time taken
by the Lusitana.
That Germany's explanation will try
to justify the torpedong of the Arabic
can be force isted from the German
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-08-20

Men and women whose names are
we'll known in society and theatrical
circles of the United States were
among the passengers on the Arabic
when she was torpedoed.
Mrs. Emile Bruguiere. for years
figure in Newport and Partisan society,
was returning TO America, with her
son Louis, Harvard, '03. They had
been for some time at their home in
the Avenue dTena, Paris. Mrs. Bru-
guiere was Miss Josephine Sather, OF
San Francisco. For many years she
was the owner of large home at New
port, which was sold last year. At
Sherry's' last night it was learned that
she and her son had engaged apart
ments there. Late last night the name
OF Louis Bruguiere appeared among
the survivors.
William Riding, of East Hartford,
Conn, yesterday received letter from
England, which informed him that his
fancee. Miss Violet II. Anderson, Of
Blackpool, Lancashire, had taken pas
sage aboard the Arabic, and was COM
ing here to be married to him.
The Riding family came from Blsck-
pool two years ago. Miss Anderson and
the young man were engaged at the
time, and it was arranged that she
should come to America in August. Mr..
Riding said last night that he and his
parents were TO have met the ship at
the pier. He had hoped TO marry his
sweetheart as soon as she had landed
and begin their wedding tour in New
York.
c. H. T. Phillips, of 40 Ardmore
Avenue, Trenton. N. j.. announced last
night that his wife and five children
had been on their way to join him here

ARABIC SINKING
"TorpedoedWithoutWarn
ing, Situation Grave" Is
View of 1.-THE Times"

New York morning newspapers to-
day comment as follows upon the sink
ing of the Arabic:
The World.
Whether the sinking Of the Arabic
by 3 German submarine marks the enc
of diplomatic relations between the
United States and Germany, or the be-
ginning of better relations, depends
upon certain facts:
l. Were there American citizens on
board the Arabic?
2. If so, did the commander of the
submarine give the captain of the
Arabic time TO provide for the safety
Of passengers and crew before destroy
ing the ship?
These facts cannot he assumed. They
must be established officially.
If the common rules of civilized sea
warfare were observed, then by that
act Germany has accepted the Ameri-
can contention and shown desire to
comply with the Presidents demands
If, on the other hand, the Arabic was
torpedoed in the same murderous
fashion as the Lustania, and Amer-
can lives have been lost, the situation
is serious indeed.
No honest judgment can be arrived al
until all the essential facts in the case
are known.
