I'VE have no way of knowing what
happened. The lake was smooth and

BROWNSVILLE. Texas. Sept. A.
Three Mexicans among six prisoners
taken as suspects after the Los Indios
fighting were killed today near San
Benito, Texas. IL was stated that they
escaped from the San Benito Jail last
night and that their bodies were found
some distance from town today with
bullet holes In their backs.
The San Benito Jail is a wooden
crib, much resembling an ordinary
corn crib. except that IL is made of
two by four planks. San Benito city
officials have said there never has
been need of stronger jail owing to
the scarcity >of crime.
No statement was obtained from
San Benito officers as to how the
Mexicans escaped but IL was thought
that Mexicans living in the town may
have helped them to get out.
About two dozen armed Browns
vile citizens slept tonight in the
county building here. Others were
posted at convenient Concentration
points in the city. These were pre-
cautions against too much celebra-
ton by Mexicans of their national in
dependence day which is September
l6, but which usually begins to rise
into boisterousness in this section

IN ARABIC CASE AND
PREPARATION.
Diplomatic Relations Will Be Sew.
cred Unless Ambassadors
Suggestions are Followed

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-Pros-
pects for a favorable adjustment
OF the controversies between the
United States and Germany depend
entirely on the attitude which the
Berlin foreign offiee will take to-
ward the recommend ations made
today by Count Won Bernstorff, the
German ambassador, following hIs
conference yesterday with secre-
tary Lansing.
Details Of the conference became
known today, throwing light on the
critical point that has been
reached In the relations between
the two countries. The Washing
ton government was almost ready
to sever diplomatic relations, but
decided to delay taking any step
until Germany could be furnished
the evidence In its possession on
the Arabic case.
FriendlIness and candor are un-
derstood TO have characterized the
conversation between Mr.. Lansing
and the Ambassador. The latter

to communicate freely with his
government, so that IL may be
clearly understood In Berlin why
officials here are convinced that
the torpedoina Of the Arabic could
not have been a mistake, Justified
CT unjustifed.
Want a Dlsavowai.
In view Of the evidence, the
United States wants a disavowaI
ef the act and this was made clear
TO Count Won Bernstorff. Arbltra-
tlon cannot be an issue for eonsid-
GRAFTON until the attitude OF the
German government toward the
act itself 10 placed on record. Later
the American government may
take under consideration a pro-
posai 20 srbitrste not the prin-
cipie. but what Indemnity should
be paid for lives lost.
Tension was iessened today and
there was much more hope In both
state department. and German
quarters OF. a friendly adjustment
than ther had been In several days.

U-BOAT DID
NOT SINK
HESPERIAN
GERMANY DISCLAIMS ALL RE-
SPONSIBILITY FOR SINK
ING STEAMER.
No Submarines In Locality on That
Date(Sends Note to
Mr.. Gerard.

BERLIN. Sept IL, 10 o. m, via
London, 6:1o p. m-The German gov
ernment. in note from the foreign
Office to Ambassador Gerard, deliv-
cred at noon today. made a unquali-
fed disclaimer OF responsibility for
the sinking OF the steamship Hesper-
ian. On the face of the evidence thus
far at hand the government is salts
hed that the Hesperian was not sunk
by German submarine.
The German position, as semi-offi-
cially stated follows:
"As we are informed from a COM.
petent source, the news already re-
ceived taken in connection with
facts already known. seems to ex-
clude almost absolutely the possibil-
ity that a German submarine could
under any circumstances have been
concerned in sinking The British pas
senger steamer Hesperian.
Firstly. according to the prear-
ranged distribution. no German sub
marine should have been on Septem-
Der in that part of the ocean in
which the Hesperian sank.
aeoto oy WlOCs
Furthermore, the explosion 40
cording to descriptions received from
British sources. was OF such a ma
ture as to Indicate from its effects
that IL was rather that OF a mine than
of a torpedo.
The circumstances that, accord.
ing to these descriptions, the vessel
was struck near the bow and that
the bow compartments filed with
water. goes TO confirm this assump-
ton"
The note contains. IN addition to
the statements thus made semi-of-
nciaily. paragraph to the effect that
all the submarines that were at sea
on September have not yet return
ed' but that there is no reason to ex-
pect that the reports which they will
supply viii change the situation.
The note is a simple recital of the
facts as the German government
sees them. without any expression OF
sentiment or comment on the Ger
man submarine policy.

The Newest Discovery i'm Chemistry

This is a recent discovery of Doctor
Pierce, who is head of the Inyalid's
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,
N. Y. Experiments at DR.. Pierce's
Hospital for several years proved that
there is no other eliminator Of uric
acid that can be compared to it. For
those easily recognized symptoms of
nfiammation-as backache, scalding
urine and frequent urination, as well
as sediment in the urine, or if uric
acid in the blood has caused rheuma-
tism, it is simply wonderful how sure
Iy "Anuric" acts. The best of results are
always obtained in cases Of acute
rheumatism in the joints, in gravel
and govt, and invariably the pains and
stiffness which so frequently and per-
sistently accompany the disease rap
idly disappear.

SUGAR INDUSTRY THRIVING
TWenty-eight Counties Yield Beet Crop
Valued at $3.50, 943-Growers
on Increase.

Madison.-A report has been sub
mitted to the state board of agricul-
ture, showing that sugar beets worth
$370,94 were grown by farmers in
twenty-eight counties in Wisconsin.
The report was made by ]. A. Brooks,
sugar beet expert of the Domestic SUI
gar producers, who has just completed
survey of the industry in Wisconsin.
There were 2,077 beet growers in
Wisconsin last year and they harvest
cd $500 tons of sugar beets, the re-
port states. This year the number of
growers has increased to 1888 with
1871 acres compared with 6,095 acres
last year.
According to the report only one
factory operated in Wisconsin last
year. this being located at Menomonee
Falls The factories at GAINESVILLE,
Madison and Chippewa Falls were
closed.
The marked increase in acreage this
year is explained by the report as be-
ing due to the European war cutting
off the foreign supply and the two fac
tories at Madison and Chippewa Falls
opening again.

FEW CHURCHES DIE THAT WAY
CoIored Preacher Unlikely to Be

A devout colored preacher, whose
heart was aglow with missionary ZEAL
gave notice to his congregation that
in the evening an offertory would be
taken for missions and asked for lib
eral gifts. A selfish, well-to-do man
in the congregation said to him be-
fore the service: Yer gwine to kill
dis church eff yer goes on sayin' 'give!
No church can stan it. Yer gwine
ter kill it."
After the sermon the colored minis

BOARD GRANTS PAROLES
Twenty Bows Will Be Released From
State Reformatory as Soon as
Employment Is Found.

Green Bay.-Twenty paroles were
granted to inmates of the state re-
formatory by the members of the
state board Of control at a recent
meeting.
Employment Cor those freed must
first be found, and other preliminaries
must also be transacted, before they
can leave the institution. Two men
are employed by the state seeking po-
sitions for the boys who are paroled
from the reformatory, but the scarcity
of work has made it difficult for them
to place eligibles.
At present there are about dozen
youths waiting in county jails through
out the state, to be taken to the re-
formatory. The crowded condition Of
the institution has made this neces-
sary. 1t is believed that this surplus
can be cared for as soon as the paroled
boys are allowed to leave the reforma-
tory.

"Anuric" manufactured by DR.. Pierce,
or even write DR.. Pierce for large
trial package (10c). If you suspect
kidney or bladder trouble, send him q
sample of your water and describe
symptoms. DR.. Pierce's chemist will
examine it, then DR.. Pierce will report
to you without fee or charge.
NOTE. - "Anuric" is thirty-seven
times more active than lithia in elimi-
mating uric acid, and is harmless but
reliable chemical compound that may
be safely given to children, but should
be used only by grown-ups who actu-
ally wish to restore their kidneys to
perfect health, by conscientiously
using one box-or more in extreme
cases-as "Anuric" (thanks to Doctor
Pierce's achievement) is by far the
most perfect kidney and bladder cor
rector obtainable.
