WANTS AN ANSWER
United States Sends Firm Note
to Austria on the Ancona
Sinking.
WANT CASE SETTLED AT ONCE
Latest Communication Insists on Dis
avowai of Attack and Punishment
of Submarine Commander.

Washington, Dec. 9-The United
States has sent to Austria-Hungary a
note asking for a disavowal of the sub
marine attack upon the Italian liner
Ancona, assurances that such an act
will not be repeated, some degree of
punishment for the commander of the
submarine and reparation for the
American lives lost.
The communication started by cable
yesterday from the State Department
TO Ambassador Frederick C. Penfield
at Vienna, who was instructed to hand
it to the Austro-Hungarian minister of
foreign affairs, Baron Burian- Word
of the delivery of the note had not
been received by the department to-
night
Friendly, but Firm
Friendly but firm terms, it is said,
characterize the document, which is
understood to make particular point
of prompt assurances for the future
safety of American lives Austria
Hungary has never Informed the
United States whether the command
ers of its submarines had been given
instructions similar to those which the
German government gave to its COM
manders after the Lusitania tragedy.
1t is understood that the note re-
ferred particularly to the charge that
shells from the submarine killed or
wounded some passengers on the An
coma after it had halted, and asked
for an explanation on that point
Want it Settled at Once.
In dispatching the note, Secretary
Lansing acted with the approval of
President Wilson. 1t is stated authori,
tatively that the document, which is
described as being comparatively brief
and decidedly vigorous in tone, was so
drafted as to attempt settlement of
the controversy at once without bring
ing on a series of communications
such as followed the sinking of the Luz
Sitania.
High officials are said to be of the
opinion that the situation is one which
calls for grave consideration, the state
of affairs having become more COM
plicated since the note was dispatched
by reports of attacks on American oil
carrying vessels in the Mediterranean
presumably by Austrian submarines

Democratic National Conven-
ton Will Meet There on
the 18th of June.
BELIEVE STATE is DOUBTFUL
Speaker Clark Tells Committee Mis-
souri, Needs Gathering-ResoIu-
tions indorse Wilson.

Washington, Dec S-St- Louis wUf
the Democratic national convention
and in the winning of it Champ C1ark
and Senator Stone of Missouri 5Dld
some interesting ahings about the sit
uation in Missouri The convention
will begin June IA.
The Democratic national committee
got down TO choosing the city late to
day, after a long hearing OF the suf-
frage advocates and the antfsuffra-
gists. Chicago Dallas and st Louis
were in the race and each city had q
800, O0e check to present 10 land the
convention.
Estate Doubtful" Clark Said.
Champ Clark made the principal ar
gument for St. Louis and his argument
was chiefly made up OF IF we don't
get the convention, Missouri is very
doubtful and the Republicans may car
ny the state"
Speaker Clark said that Missouri
Democrats needed the convention. He
said the state was extremely doubt
full and the Democrats stood a good
chance of losing, not only the eighteen
electoral votes, but several congress
men as wen. unless they get help"
Democrats Moved Away.
I'VE used to be sure Democratic
said the speaker. But our Democrats
began moving out TO inhabit Oklahoma
and Texas and the Southwest, and
Republicans began to move in from
Iowa until Missouri became a battle
ground and the Democratic party is
going to have {. fight on it's hands next
year.
Clark estimated that the enthusiasm
and education of a national convention
would influence five thousand votes
and that number would save Mis-
souri,. He also said that he hoped
some day they would have no more
conventions, but settle the nomination
by direct primary; and that If con
ventiUns were held, only delegates, al
ternates and newspaper men would be
allowed to attend so the convention
could work without disturbance
Stones Plea Helped
Senator Stone also spoke of the dire
need of Missouri for Democratic help
1t was this plea, together with the or
ganfzation work, that finally won the
convention for the Missouri city
Tonight the national committee
adopted resolutions calling for the re
nomination and reelection of Wood

OYSTERS ARE PLENTIFUL.
Warm Weather Diminishes Demand,
Prices Reasonable.

Late yesterday afternoon nine yes
sells, large and small. were lying at the
l1th street oyster wharf with oysters
aboard. and in all it was estimated
their total cargoes would amount TO
about 1,40O bushels. Many Of the
larger vessels that have been bringing
oysters here are cutting out and are
making ready to take up other lines
of freighting work.
Most of the craft bringing oysters
here now are small and come to mar
ket with a couple Of hundred bushels
aboard The warm weather and the
opening OF the shad and herring season
have affected the demand for oysters
and reports say they are selling slowly
at from As cents to 81 bushel. Those
who visit the wharf market today
for their Sunday supply Of freshly
shucked oysters will find plenty of both
river and bay stock from which to Sc
lect, and prices should not be high even
for small lots.
The oyster longing season closes
April 26 and after that date it is un-
lawful to take oysters from Potomac

Shoots Way to Ell PasO;
Uses Rifle and BaiIing
Wire 10 Fix Auto Hub

J. c. Tandy literally shot his way
into Ell Paso recently in a five passen-
ger Overland touring car. Mr.. Tandy
was driving in an old 1911 model of
the Overland coming to Ell Paso from
northern New Mexico. About 20 miles
out Of TularOsa, n. NJ, he became
begged. He worked several hours to
get out but was unable to do so be-
cause the hub kept turning in the
flange. and prevented the wheel from
turning. It had become quite late by
this time and had grown quite dark
Mr. Tandy finally hit upon a happy
scheme. Borrowing a lantern from a
farmer living nearby, he set the Ian
tern up, against the wheel to show him
the hub. Then getting off about 20
PAGES he took his high powered % rifle
and fired a shot at the hub. This shot
made a clean hole.
He then cut a part of the collar Of
the flange off with a cold chisel and
put a bolt in the hole which he had
shot into the hub. Baling wire with
which Mr.. Tandy fastened the bolt to
the flange held the hub tight to the
flange and enabled him to get. trac-
ton, thereby allowing the wheel to
turn.
With this makeshift arrangement
Mr. STandy drove the entire distance of
so miles into Ell Paso.-
