MAN WANTED ON
YEAR-OLD CHARGE
TAKEN ON COAST

A warrant more than a year old
for the arrest of William Hardness
wanted by Sheriff Applestill on a
charge of passing 7 bad checks, may
be used if Los Angeles officers do
not press a charge of probation vio-
ation against Hardness. lie was ar
rested several days ago.
About a year ago Hardness, ac-
cording to officers, succeeded in pass
ing z worthless checks and then dis
appeared. Police in various coast cit
les were warned to be on the lookout
for the fugitive, but up until few
days ago his whereabouts have not
been known.
Later developments disclosed that
he had gone To San Pedro and Sher-
iff Applestill Immediately notified
Sheriff Cline and Chief Of Police
Snively Of Los Angeles.
Several days passed and after the
local office had received no word
from either official, the chief of po-
lice of San Pedro was notified and
succeeded in locating Hardness res
idence.
Hardness at that time was living
with his brother Arthur at 551 See
ond street and, singularly enough
was renting the house from a special
deputy sheriff Of Los Angeles who
lived in an adjoining house.
] When the 2 officers from the San
Pedro police station went to the
house to arrest the fugitive, William
! IIarkness was absent and the officers,
being ignorant Of the identity of the
brother in the house, placed him un-
der arrest.
The mistake was discovered after
Arthur IIarkness had been taken to
! the police station, but in the mean
time William Hardness had become
apprised of the activity Of the off
GERS and fled.
Deputy Sheriffs Nolan and Fox, OF
the Los Angeles sheriff's Office, tool,
up the search and traced Hardness
from San Pedro to a ranch in Ingle-
wood operated by Harkness' uncle.
From there he was traced to Whining
ton Harbor, where he had been en-
ployed on a dredger, but the officers
found that he had left few days
before.
Later he was arrested in Los An
gees by members of the sheriff's
force on advices from this city, but
in investigating his record it was dis
covered that Hardness was wanted
by the Los Angeles police on charge
of violating his probation.
Both in this city and in Los An
geles Harkness' downfall is said to
have been caused by bad checks.

MRS. HYDE TELLS OF
CLUBS PROGRAM

Los Angeles Times: Mrs. llarrlng-
ton W. Hyde Of FL Centre, who was
chairman of the City Beautiful Com
mittee Of the Ten Thousand Club of
the Imperial Valley, and is at pres
cnt Luay with plans for the coming
meeting of the Southern district, c.
f. w. {, which convenes in El Cen
tro, November 9-l2, and prominent
club woman of that district and also
Of the state, is in Los Angeles on a
summer visit, and today extends
through the club columns of the
Times a cordial invitation Tor our
club women 10 attend the coming ses-
ION in her district.
Mrs. Hyde retains a membership in
the Million and Woman's City Clubs
Of this city.
County federatiOn-that bone of
contention for so many years in the
State Federation, which was elected
speedily at the Is conventions
thoroughly established in the south
crn district, and is certainly working
out well there.
The southern clubs are splendid eX-
amples OF the influence women's clubs
have had in the growth Of town and
city, and Mrs. Hyde's Well-couched in
vitation gives an insight into the rea
son of the success of the clubs in her
valley:
Imperial county clubdom feels as
important and excited as does the
young matron who is about to give
her tirst really big party. Not that
he hasn't been hostess many times
to her relatives and intimate friends.
Those were the kind of parties that
could be given in her own little bun

referred to by Germans as operating
against England the same as the Brit
lsh fleet in the North Sea operated
against Germany. This interpreta-
ton, of course, was wide of the mark.
British trade has been hampered very
little and there has been only slight
advance In marine insurance.
The Tageblatt, Germany's leading
Liberal paper, is the first German
publication to look the Lacts in the
face. 1t estimates that one and one
half merchant ships have been sunk
daily since the submarine warfare be-
gan and points out that this is a every
modest" result
The Tageblatt blames" the newspa-
pers generally for arousing extrava-
giant belief as to the effectiveness of
, the German blockading force
In other words, the constant cry
of patience to those who are also
demanding greater deeds of the sub
marines cannot longer be maintained,
the Tageblatt suggests. The block
ade, therefore, is revealing itself as
a fiascO to the Germans 1t is but
pin prick compared to what might
be accomplished by a fleet capable
Of maintaining a real blockade.
The realization of the actual fatcs
must have depressing effect on
the Germans. The desire to harm
England at any cost, as the chief enc
my, so magnified the victories of sub
marines that it will be difficult to
readjust the common vision 10 a clear
view of the facts.
The Tageblatt has taken the initial
step in this direction. If persisted
in, it will be beneficial to an ultimate
peace. 1t will produce the under
standing that economic conditions
cannot be seriously affected by sub
marine warfare, no matter how long
the war lasts. To continue the con
flict for the purpose of damaging
British commerce must now be ruled
out from serious war debates in Ger
many.

Will Visit and Search
Vessels Before Sinking

Washington, Sept. Germany has
accepted the United States demands
regarding submarine warfare. Am
bassador Won Berhatorff handed Sec
retary Lansing the Kaisers formal
acquescence today. Won Bernstorff
received the note direct from Berlin.
1t has not yet been translated, but
transscribers are busy. Lansing an
nounced that Germany has agreed To
all the American demands. Germany
has promised to warn vessels before
torpedoing them and to visit and
search suspected Icraft before attack
ing them.
Matters of fact appertainng to past
attacks are left open to future con
sideration. No difficulty is appre-
hended in adjusting them.
Lansing indicated that.the Germans
have failed to ask the administration
to raise the British blockade.
Tumulty announced at noon that
the state department has received a
written copy of Germany's note of ac-
ceptance.
The German note contained writ
ten assurance that "no liner will be
sunk by our submarines without warn
ing, and safety to the lives of non
combatants is provided for if the lin
ers do not try to escape or offer re
sistance."
Officials declared the assurances
have revolutionized the administra-
tions' plans. 1t is believed the White
House will accept Germany's prom
ises in good faith
Germany practically admits that
the sinking of the Lusitania was a
violation Of international law.
The greatest official satisfaction is
evident, Germany evidently being de
termined to avoid further friction.
Some contend that the Kaiser has
won a diplomatic victory, depriving
Britain of her chief excuse for main
tanning the blockade, and neutrals
probably will expect a modification of
the British order in council.
1t is believed likely Germany will
soon offer reparation for the lives lost
on the Arabic.

The reviVers have done some things to the old play that are not just what the doctor ordered. They have introduced two songs for Sandy" as Sandy happens to be played by George MacFa rlane they are natur- ally well sung; but they just don't belong even when he sings them.

It will be re- mcmbered that Mr. Holmes is a musi- cal comedy favorite and that his bent has been to make people laugh. He played "Gecko" with force and feeling and in the dennnciation scene with SNengali in the foyer of the opera house, he rose to the occasion in a most affecting fashion. The New York Tribune says We can promise the sentimental that it is Taylor Holmes admira ble portrait of ';ecko that will draw tears in the present revival of "1rilhy." and not tho death of Trilby or the ghastly at tack of the interesting Svengali.'
