Washington. Sept. 9.-Germany's
note explaining the sinking of the

in Berlin press dispatches.

over the loss of American lives and to
propose to refer to The Hague ques-
tlons of PREPARATION and compensation.
Fires in SeIf-Defense.
Berlin, Sept. 9.-Germany's note to
the United States concerning the sink
ing of the Arabic was communicated
to James w. Gerard, the American
ambassador, yesterday evening. The
note ascribes the destruction of the
liner to an act of Self-defenSe on the
part of the submarine, expresses the
German governments deep regret that
American lives were lost thereby and
offers to- refer the question of repara-
ton and compensation to The Hague
for adjustment.
The note reveals in detail the in
structions to submarine commanders
concerning their treatment Of liners
They are ordered not to attack a pas
senger steamer except in case of an
attempt to escape after it is ordered
to halt or unless its actions indicate an
effort to attack the submarine.
The submarine commander, accord
ing to his report, concerning the send
ing of the Arabic to the bottom, said
he believed the Arabic was about to
attack the submarine and, therefore,
he acted within instructions.
German naval experts declare there
is no other course open to submarines
under present conditions, when they
assert, every merchantmen, from
liner down to fishing smack is a pre-
sumptive enemy and perhaps carrying
guns and ready to seize an opportunity
to attack the vulnerable submarine by

aire Wholesaler.
Thieves Overlook Strong Box
Holding Half Million.

New York, Sept 9.-Owney TaIas,
Russian Finn, for two and one-haIf
months hallboy in the home of Mrs.
Elizabeth Nichols, the aged widow
who met death last night at the hands
of masked men who robbed her of
gems valued at $4,000, was arrested
today after he had confessed, the po-
lice say, to having played a part in the
crime. He was formally charged with
murder.
All other servants in the house were
freed of suspicion. Deputy Police Com
missioner Lord announced.
Preliminary examination OF Mrs.
Nichols body revealed that probably
she died of fright and not of strangu-
lation, as first supposed.
Although the burglars stripped their
victims fingers and ears of diamonds
and other jewels worth $4,000, they
failed to rifle the stronghold of her
safe in which she kept gems valued at
from s250,000 to 100000.
Hallboy Knocked Unconscious.
With Mrs. Nichols lying dead on the
floor of her room, the hallboy appar-
emily unconscious from blow on the
head from the butt of a revolver, and
the maid bound and gagged in the SER
wants quarters, the masked robbers
looted the premises. The keys to the
Nichols stronghold, which she carried
on string around her neck was re-
ported missing. The strongboX, in a
liable collection of gems. Examine
ton of the safe today showed that the
strongbox with it's contents was in
tact.
The thieves left the premises without
detection. After the maid, according
to the story told the police, had strug-
gled half an hour she freed herself and
liberated Talas, who also had been
bound, and the alarm was given.
Maid and HalIboy Under Fire.
TaIas and the maid were kept up
all night by detectives, who
made them repeat their stories again
and again.
Commissioner Lord said today there
were many minor discrepancies in
their accounts. Significance was placed
by the police in a statement attributed
to the cook, Leona Tiovonen, that on
employee of Mrs. Nichols, who had
frequently called at the house after
leaving her employ, and who had bor-
rowed money from other servants.
Two other men, the cook said, were
nearby.
Mr.. Lord said that after the cook
and the butler. Ernest Vital, had left
the house, Talas, the hallboy, had
been seen to leave the premises sew
eral times to converse with men in
front of the house. e
Widow Worth $2,OOO,OOO.
Mrs. Nichols was the widow of
James Edwin Nichols, founder of the
wholesale grocery firm of Austin,
Nichols & Co She was reputed to be
worth about 100000 and it was
known that much of this was invested
in gems which she kept in the house.
Mrs. Nichols, in the opinion of the
police, resisted the robbers with all
the strength of her sixty years.
Mr.. Lord said a preliminary exami-
nation showed she died from fright

Upkeep of Kansas Building at
Frisco Is Expensive.
The Last ItemiZed Bill Sub
mitted Calls for $3.50.

Some of the bills for the upkeep of
the Kansas building at Panama-Pa-
cific exposition, San Francisco, have
occasioned strong and rather harsh
language by members of the Kansas
commission. The first of the month
miscellaneous claims and accounts for
the care of the Kansas building at
Frisco came to E. F. Benson. state
the commission. These bills amount
ed to $3.50 and Benson is inclined to
think the accounts a bit extraVagant-
ever for an exposition.
An inspection of the bills indicates
to Benson that someone-more aften
a small regiment of men-constantly
change the topography of the lawn
surrounding the Kansas building.
When someone is not removing the
rubbish, another detail of men seems
to be kept busy filling in a hole or
setting a rose bush. Benson doesn't
know what they do. He just knows
that the bills keep coming in and the
bills for the upkeep of that lawn
would keep the grass cut on an entire
tOwnsite for a year. 1r
Just for example, the bill which
came the other day called for some
thing more than $50 for attention to
the kansas lawn at Frisco That is
more money than the state spends for
the upkeep of the state house lawn in
a season.
81 don't know what they did to the
lawn" said Benson. Every time
someone wasn't hauling something
away another bunch of men were
dumping something on the grounds
Why, down in ElDorado, L have a
lawn three times as large and L can
make it look like a Garden of Eden
for $50 or $50 a year. But there
doesn't seem to be any way to get
away from these bills. Every time a
laborer looks at our building or the
lawn it is rs cents an hour"
But Bensons troubles in auditing
the exposition expense items didn't
item on the bill for $3.50 for a spade
When Governor Capper sisted the big
fair recently, he helped to set out a
tree. Someone handed him a spade
He dug a hole in the ground and the
ceremony was over. No one knows
a workman just loaned the spade
for a minute. No one knows Benson
only knows that the state must pay
for first class spade.
That's just one thing declared
the fair commissioner IT don't sup
pose the state ever owned that spade.
But we pay for it just the same.
Everyone thinks it is all right, too But
if a state official stopped at a hotel
and took 4 bath more frequently
than once a week, the whole state
would applaud if the auditor cut the
is the system upon which the state
handles it's business
Still there is no relief so far as the
fair bills are concerned. The Kan
sas building at the big show is under
the direct supervision of the Panama
Pacific exposition. They may order
such expense as they may desire and
may approve any bills presented.
There is nothing for the state to do
but pay.

Berlin, Sept. 9-(Via London)-
The removal of Grand Duke Nicholas
from the position of commander-in-
of long articles in Berlin newspapers
this morning. The Tageblatt says the
grand duke was removed because,
notwithstanding his undeniable gifts
in the strategy of retreating, he bears
the responsibility for the Russian
catastrophes in Poland and Galicia,
his influence being shattered in con-
sequence.
"A view more frequently SAPl CSSCO
is that the retirement of the grand
duke was dictated by political reasons
and aimed particularly at the party
represented by the present Russian
government, which had grown too
strong.
The Lokal Anzeigex says the dis
placement of the grand duke removes
the government partys strongest sup
porter and means a loss to the army,
which saw in him the appointed lead
er. This newspaper pays frank and
generous tribute to the former COM
mander-in-chief as a brave and hon
orable enemy, and an able leader.

terms Grand Duke Nicholas "a brutal
and bloody man without leadership
talent" and the destroyer of his
army, his land and his people, 1t
