KAYSER SENT
MESSAGES TO
BERNSTORFf

GARY, Ind, Aug. 31.-Two kilograms
to Count Won Bernstorff from Rev
Edmund A. H. Kayser, pastor slain
in his home last week, revealed what
the police considered proof that Kay.
ser was an active German agent in
the international scheme to stop the
shipment of munitions of war from
the United States to the allies. One
telegram read:
"The Germans of Gary resent the
manufacture of war munitions for the
allies in the United States and will
do all in their power to stop their
manufacture"
Second Message.
The second message read:
THE Germans of Gary are willing
to do as much for the fatherland as
the Germans who are fighting for the
fatherland in Europe
The messages are considered un.
usually significant in view of the de.
struction of numerous powder plants
and munitions factories. The latest
of these are at st. Charles, ILL.,. where
a mammoth barn and seven other
buildings were destroyed by Are on
the property of Herbert P. Crane
Last Friday night ST. Charles Mall.

stroyed, with loss of $175,OOO. Mr..

BEllICERENTS
BID FOR FAVOR
OF UNCLE SAM

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-Sugges-
tions that Admiral Won Tirpitz was
acting as an obstacle to complete
understanding between Germany and
the United States because he opposed
punishment of the officers command
ing the submarine which sank the Ar
abic were repudiated by Secretary of
State Lansing today.
He stated that no intimation that
such was the case has been received
from Gerard at Berlin. H4.also made
1t very plain that In hting the -
surances conveyed BY Ambassador
Won Bernstorff that ''full satisfaction.
Is to be accorded the United States
this government had reason to believe
that all German officials were in ac-
cord with the belief that the submar.
inc warfare was to be modified
The second declared that the latest
concession by Great Britain in which
she agreed that American owned
goods could be imported from Holland
has not changed the plan for pro-
test directed against her order in
council and her placing Of gun cotton
on the contraband list.
This note of protest is practically
complete the secretary said, although
some clauses may have to be changed
as the result of the change in the Brit.
ish policy. 1t was admitted in official
circles today that both Germany and
Great Britain are bidding for the
friendship of the United States. Ger
many 1t is understood will within the
next ten days agree to permit the ex-
portation to the United States If this
government will agree to see that the
cargoes do not fall into the hands of
her enemies-of enough dyestuff and
medicines urgently needed in this
country to relieve the stringency.
England is expected also to make
further concessions but until an agree
ment is reached no announcement of
the results will be made.

an allied submarine, according to a
dispatch received here today. The
dispatch states that the population

Sea Of Marmora to the Bosphorus.
The submarines attack struck at the
very heart Of Constantinople. The
Galata bridge spans the Golden Horn
between Stamboul and Galata. In Ca

DEPUTY CITY
TREASURER TO

City Council Cuts Salary
One-half Despite Objection
Raised by County Treasur-
er Chamness.
EXPLAINS HIS LOSS

The city will, next year, continue
its policy Of paying the salary Of the
young woman assistant in the office OF
county and city treasurer Chamnese
who bears the title Of deputy r.ty
treasurer, but the appropriation for
this purpose will be trimmed from
$500 to $500.
Treasurer Chamness was present
last evening when council reached this
decision and he was not bit pleased.
After council had adjourned Treas.
urer Chamness called attention to the
fact that he received q salary from
the city Of only $1,000 q year, or $500
less than the controller and $500 less
than the city clerk although his office
Of city treasurer carried with It twice
the responsibility of either the office
Of controller or city clerk.

was satisfied with receiving only ST.
900 so long as the city paid the deputy
city treasurer a salary Of $500, but now
they are going to reduce the salary of
that office to $500 per annum and you
know that no one can be secured to
work for such salary. 1t means that
will have to contribute 5000 out Of
my own salary to the salary OF this
deputy.
city officials seem to think, be-
cause the deputy city treasurer spends
only small part of her time in the
office of the city controller, that most

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-A posi-
tive promise that he will support any
plan which the United States eventu
ally may decide on for the restoration
of constitutional government in Mexi
co by General Francisco Villa. was
brought to Secretary Lansing by Gen
Hugh L. Scott today.
The army chief of staff, who had
Just returned from the border. where
he has been in conference with Villa
told the secretary that Villa had told
him fatty that he was willing to elm
mate himself entirely from Mexican
affairs, If by doing so he will be able
to aid in the creation of a staple gov
eminent.
Villa, however, made it apparent
that he was unalterably opposed to
any recognition of CarranZa.

starts insurance FUND.
An ordinance was passed under sus-
pension of the rules appropriating $500
from the general fund for a special In
surance fund for current year. Next
year approximately $1,700 will be
added to this fund through a special
one cent tax levy. In doing this. how
ever, the city tax rate will not be In
creased, but $1,70O will be shaved off
the revenue the city would otherwise
obtain for general purposes. The tax
rate Of $1.10 on each 800 assessable
valuation will comprise the following
levies in 1916; for general purposes.
$1.01, for sinking fund. cents, for
Fairgrounds, cent for insurance
fund, l cent.
On the income derived from a $l02
general purpose levy the city has ex.
perienced considerable difficulty this
year in sidestepping deficit at the
end of the year. Now that the gener-
al purpose levy is to be reduced
cent the ensuing year city officials
realize that the job of keeping muni-
cipal expenses within the bounds of
the city's income presents a difficult
task. but council prefers this plan to
paying out . premium Of about $4,000

cy for the employees of the municipal
electric plant, but this question was
left to the mayor, members Of the
board of public works and the plant
superintendent for decision.
. Mayor Robbins lost no time placing
himself on record as being opposed
even to insuring plant employees not
withstanding the dangerous tasks
many of them are daily engaged In.
He advanced the somewhat astoaish-
ing argument that the plant now had
$3.50. 900 In the bank 1t did not know
what to do with" and he thought It
perfectly safe for the plant to assume
its own risk under the law @
City Attorney Bond, however. said
that he failed to see what bearing the
plants bank account had on the Ques-
ton of taking out compensation pol
Icy for plant employees. The plant
would only have to pay $565 a year
premium for such policy
Councilman Handley led the fight
against the policy of having the city
assume its own risk under the com.
pensation act.
THE city has 132 employees and II
is taking long chance in not fnsur-
ing them" he said. "A policy. 1 under.
stand. would cost about $4,000. but one
death of city employe while perform.
ing his duties would cost the city
$4,000. You can realize what q ca.
tastrophe resulting in the death and
injury of several citv avnnlrvns- ~ro,,sA
mean. If 1t is a good plan to insure
your home against fire It is certainly
a good plan to protect the city by In
surance under the compensation act.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-Adminis-
tration officials were deeply stirred

out that the spending of halt billion

has been planned. He said also that
Senator Kern had declared himself In
favor Of an increased appropriation for
the army and navy. He said that when
the definite plans Of the administra-
tion are made known. he believed SEN
ator Kern would be found to favor
them.
