BERLIN DISAVOWS
ATTACK ON ARABIC
Won BernStorff Says Germany
viii Indemnify U. S.
CRISIS OVER LINER is PAST
Statement to Secretary of State Lam
sing Expresses Regret for Act of
Submarine commandments
ain to Get Note Soon,

Washington, Oct. safety of non
combatants in the naval war zone" is
assured. Washington officialdom de-
clares President Wilson has won a sig
nal victory for the principles for
which he has contended in the subma-
Tine warfare. controversy with Ger
many.
Germany, through Count Johann Won
Bernstorff, her ambassador, disavowed
the sinking of the liner Arabic and
promised the Washington government
it would indemnify it for the loss of
all American lives. Germany has
yielded on all points brought to it's
attention by the United States.
Secretary Lansing on Tuesday gave
out the text of letter received from
Count Won Bernstorff, which was as
follows:
MY dear Mr.. Secretary:
Prompted by the desire to reach
satisfactory agreement with regard to
the Arabic incident, my government
has given me the following instruc-
tions:
"The orders issued by his majesty
the emperor to the commanders of the
German submarines, of which l mott
fed you on a previous occasion, have
been made so stringent that the recur-
renee of incidents similar to the Ara
bic case is considered out of the ques-
ton.
According to the report of Com
mander Schneider of the submarine
which sank the Arabic and his aff1-
davit as well as those of his men,
Commander Schneider was convinced
that the Arabic intended to ram the
submarine.
"On the other hand, the imperial
government does not doubt the good
faith of the affidavit of the British
officers of the Arabic, according to
which the Arabic did not intend to
ram the submarine. The attack OF the
submarine was undertaken against the
instructions issued to the commander.
The imperial government regrets and
disavows this act and has notified
Commander Schneider accordingly.
Under these circumstances my gov
eminent is prepared to pay an indem-
nifty for American lives lost on the
Arabic. l am authorized to negotiate
with you about the amount of this in
demnity.
81 remain, my dear Mr.. Lansing,
yours sincerely,
81. Won BERNSTORFF."

Kerosene Put Out Fire,

A bale of cotton when compressed
for shipment abroad has the density
of an oak plank.
Recently in California large guam
tity of baled cotton became ignited,
and, as is always the case. the fire
ate into the center of the bale The
density of the cotton will allow water
to penetrate the bale only very slowly.
Kerosene will penetrate the fibers
very fast and, knowing this fact, kero-
sene was used and the supply of oxy-
gen which was necessary to the fire
cut off. 1t was successful and the
greater portion of the cotton saved.

REALTY MEN FIGHT
COURT SITE PLANS
Take Action to Stop Proceed
ings to Acquire More Land
for Building.
ASSERT CITY HAS TITLE

Members OF the Board of Estimate
and Of the Court House Board VIII be
served tomorrow with sumrnonses ana
complaints in a suit brought by the
United Real Estate owners Association
20 stop condemnation proceedings to ac-
ouIre additional land for the proposed
court house site. The complaint pre-
sents about fifteen reasons why the city
should not proceed to acquire more land.
Stewart Browne IL president of the COM
planning association. lie attends all OF
the Board of Estimate meetings and
raises so many objections to the way the
city spends money that he is often
eat upon by the members of the board.
Principal objection to the present pro-
oeedings in condemnation is made on the
ground that the city already owns the
land II is about to acquire. ]. Blocker
Miller, attorney for the United Real
Estate owners. says In the complaint
chat the Collect Pond, in the area for

that the land south of Worth street has
never been released by the city. II is

official minutes that the city took action

plant says that there is nc record show
ing that the city ever conveyed title to
the land south of Worth street.
h complaint further alleges that the
action OF the Justices OF the Supreme
Court in acting as a court houSe board
to select and pass upon plans is uncon-
stitutional and in~validates all the pro-
cecdings they have so far taken. The
Constitution is quoted to show hat JUS
tices are restricted to the performance
of certain duties and hat they have ex-
ceeded their jurisdiction.
1t also is stated that the city, IL II
builds the round court house. will have
to acquire franchises Of street railroads
now in the hands OF receivers. which
II has no authority to do; that 1t will
have to take streets. which II has no
authority TO close. and that the cost of
the structure planned will not he less
than $50. 000, 900, and that this will be
excessive.

all OF these complaints would be pushed
vigorously. 1t was generally believed that
they were merely intended to block pres
nj proceedings until he could finish his
Investigation of the city's debt limit.
He has undertaken this inquiry In the
belief that he can prove that the city has
no debt margin.
Mr.. Browne said yesterday tina he
would not raise the debt limit ques.

icised and that he wished to be sure
OF his facts before saying anything on
that subject.
