PASSPORTS PEACE
NEW coNsIsToRY AT ROME TO
CONSIDER SUBJECT.
Italian Government Permits Austrian
and German Cardinals to
Come and Go.

Rome, Italy-Passports to Aus
trian and German cardinals will be is
sued by the Italian government, en-
abling them to attend the consistory
at the Vatican in December.
The decision reached by the coun-
Gil of ministers, announced yester-
day, was regarded generally as an
other straw blowing in the direction
of possible peace negotiations.
For refusing safe conduct to Ger
man members of the Sacred College
there was no technical reasons, Ger
many and Italy being nominally on
amicable relations, though these have
been badly strained by Teutonic sub
marine activity in the Mediterranean.
Influence of Peace Plan.
But that permission would be grant
ed the Austrians to visit Rome was
not expected.
The Inference drawn is that the
ministers knew of peace plans in the
Vatican.
The public has been somewhat un-
certain at what value to appraise re-
ports that the pope is about to re-
nounce his claims to temporal power
as means of securing the Italian
governments permission to partici.
pate in peace negotiations, and that
Cardinal Hartmann of Cologne will
bring peace suggestions from Ger.
many to the consistory, but the cabi
net councils action gives the impress
sion that the ministers attach some
weight to them.

CANAL CLOSED SIX MONTHS
Employees In Operating Division Being
Given Vacations or Transferred
to Other Departments.

Panama-Owing to the tying up
of the Panama canal by the re-
cent slide, many employees, mainly
in the operating divisions, are being
given vacations, which is taken here
to indicate that the canal will remain
closed for much longer time than
was at first expected. Some employees
have been transferred to other divi-
sions.
It is the intention of Major General
George w. Goethals, governor general
of the canal zone, to force tempo
rary channel through the slide as
quickly as possible and pass through
the waterway few ships which have
been waiting since the canal closed,
and then again shut off traffic until
all danger Of slides has been ended.
This probably will not be less than
SIX months, according to the best
available estimates.

To. PAY Indemnity
FOR LUS|TAN|A DEAD
TOTAL OF s575,ooo OR 5000 FOR
EACH AMERICAN Is
INDICATED.
WILL LIKELY REJECT OFFER
DisavowaI Of Sinking Will Be Left
to Arbltrators-6ritish Liability
Urged, But U. S. Holds Ger
many Responsible.

Washington.-Through Count Won
Bernstorff, Germany has notified the
United States of its willingness to
pay indemnities for the lis Americans
who lost their lives when the Lusi-
tania was sunk by a German subma-
rine
Although no amount has yet been
proposed, it is stated the German gov
ernment stands ready to pay $4,000
for each American who died on the
great liner, or total of $575,0O0. 1t
is doubted if this offer will be ac-
ceptable to the United States.
Germany has not yet shown any
inclination to disavow the act of the
submarine commander who destroyed
the Lusitania. 1t has been suggested,
however, that the question Of dis
avowal be submitted to arbitration.
This proposal President Wilson un-
doubtedly will reject.
The offer to make financial repara'
tion for the Americans killed on the
Lusitania was made to Secretary OF
Staate Lansing by Ambassador Bern
storff when the German diplomat
called at the state department last
week.
At the same time he is said to have
informed Mr.. Lansing that his gov
ernment did not think it should be
pressed to apologize for sinking a
British ship transporting munitions OF
war along with passengers.
An effort was made by German
emissary recently to get father and
mother who lost son on the Lusi
tania to sign statement that they be.
lieved Great Britain equally liable
with Germany for the payment Of
damages.
The agreement presented by this
agent was that England incurred this
liability when it allowed war muni
tions to be carried on a British pas
senger ship.
The plan failed when the parents
curtly spurned the suggestion, al
though they are said to have beer
promised immediate payment Of any
amount they would stipulate.
The German embassy officials deny
this agent represented the Berlin gov
ernment.
The United States has held Ger
many solely responsible for the loss
Of the Lusitania and throughout the
exchange of notes has insisted Ger
many disregarded international law
when It torpedoed the ship without
warning.

ROOSEVELT TO GET COMMAND
Former Mayor Of London, Ont, Who
Is in Charge Of Organization,
Wires Offer to Colonel.

London, England.-Former President
Theodore Roosevelt has been offered
the command of the City of London
regiment being organized here. For
mer Mayor c. M. r. Graham, who
has charge of the organization, wired
the offer to the colonel.
There are Canadians here who
fought with Roosevelt in 1898. Sew
eral thousand Americans have already
joined the Canadian forces and there
is steady influx of recruits from
across the line.
Were Col. Roosevelt to accept a
command with the Canadian forces
there is no doubt that many thousand
Of his fellow countrymen would fol-
low his example and ask to serve
under him. Their enlistment would
not affect their American citizenship.

BANKER MUNDAY
Gets FIVE YEARS
JURY FINDS HIM GUILTY ON
SEVENTH BALLOT IN
SIX HOURS.
ATTORNEY HOYNE SATISFIED
Counsel for Defense Says Vedrict Is
Full Of Holes and Hopes to Win
Out in the Supreme
Court.

Morris, Ill.-Charles B. Munday,
vice president of the La Sale Street
Trust and Savings Bank of Chicago,
of which William Lorimer was presi
dent, was found guilty of conspiring
to wreck the institution, and his pun
ishment fixed by jury at five years
Imprisonment.
The jury was out six hours and took
five ballots. They disagreed on the
penalty, nine standing at first for
the maximum.
Foreman Bermeister said: I'VE all
agreed on the first ballot that the YER
dict should be guilty. Eight of us
wanted the maximum punishment, i'm
prisonment for five years and fine
of $4,000. One of the jurors sug-
gested that it would be better to
leave the $4,000 for the depositors
who lost their money in the failures. .
"This verdict is full of holes" Attor-
ney John M. Hogan, counsel for Mum
day, said. I'VE will win in the SUI
preme court"
81 will fight the case to the last
DITCH was the only comment Nun
day would make after the jury re-
turned.
The jury's verdict was: I'VE, the
fury, find the defendant, Charles B.
Munday, guilty in the form and man
ner charged in the indictment and
fix the penalty at five years imprison
ment in the state penitentiary
Maclay Hoyne, states attorney Of
Cook county, who was in the court
room, said the verdict was satisfac
tory.
Lorimer and Henry w. Huttig oi
Muscatine, Ia, will go to trial aftel
the first of next year, Hoyne said.
Fourteen persons were indicted
Lorimer and Munday being the chiet
of them. The indictments charged
them with looting the institution o.
almost $2,50O,000 and with violation
of practically every banking law Of
the state.

A gentleman farmer" tells of city
lad who cnce worked for him.
The lad was called one winter morn

The lad was too lazy to light lam

that one of the cows was in the stable.

at the long delay, shouted from the

BUSINESS IN CANADA
IS GOOD
Successful Crops and Big Yields
Help the Railway.

The remarkable fields that are re-
ported Of the wheat crop of Western
Canada for 1915 bear out the esti-
mate Of an average yield over the
three western provinces of upward Of
25 bushels per acre. There is no
portion of that great west of $4,000
square miles in which the crop was
not good and the yields abundant. An
American farmer who was induced to
place under cultivation land that he
had been holding for five years for
speculative purposes and higher
prices, says that he made the price Of
the land out of this years crop Of
oats. No doubt, others, too, who took
the advice of the Department OF the
Interior to cultivate the unoccupied
land, have done as well.
But the story of the great crop that
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
produced this year is best told in the
language of the railways in the added
cars that it has been necessary to
place in commission, the extra trains
required to be run, the increased tom
mage Of the grain steamers.
1t is found that railway earnings
continue to improve.
The c. P. R. earnings for the second
week of October showed an increase
of $762,0O0 over last year, the total
being only $4,000 below the gross
9V,era r,A dfr1o xuoolr
of 1918, when the Western wheat crop
made new record for that date. The
increase in G.. P. R. earnings for the
corresponding week of that year was
only $351, 200, or less than half of the
/ increase reported this year. The
grain movement in the West within
the past two weeks has taxed the re-
sources Of the Canadian roads as
never before, despite their increased
/ facilities. The G. P. r. is handling 1000
cars per day, a new record. The
G. T. R. and the G. N. r. are also max
4 ing new shipment records. The other
day the w. Grant Morden, of the Can
ada Steamships Company, the largest
freighter of the Canadian feet on the
Upper Lakes, brought down cargo Of
476,315 bushels, new record for
Canadian shipping. Records are "go-
ing by the board" in all directions this
fall, due to Canada's record crop. The.
largest Canadian wheat movement.
through the port Of New York ever
known is reported for the period up
tc October 18th, when since shipments
Of the new crop began in August.
4,265,791 bushels have been reloaded
for England, France and Italy. This
is over half as much as was shipped
of American wheat from the same port
in the same period. And, be it remem-
bered, Montreal, not New York, is the
main export gateway for Canadian
wheat. New York gets the overflow
in competition with Montreal.-Ad.

Roads Allowed increase.

An increase in passenger fares from
2 to 1-2 cents per mile and an in
crease in freight rates of approximate
ly per cent. to go into effect JAN l.,
next, and run for one year, has been
granted to the railroads of Missouri
in an order issued by the public SER
vice commission.
The order increases passenger fares
for a single line haul from cents a
mile, the maximum rate under the law,
2 IA cents, and directs the issuance
of 5OO-mile and 1,000-mile books at 2
cents mile The railroads asked a
general increase to 3 cents mile.
Baggage rates were also raised about
5 per cent.
In handing down the decision, the
commission issued statement In
which the passenger increase is ex-
planned as follows:
"The commission finds from the
testimony that a minimum passenger
rate of cents per mile does not give
the carriers cents per mile for each
mile hauled, because of the necessity
of the carriers to constantly meet each
others short line rates.
"The commission finds that the re-
duction in passenger rates from to
2 cents mile was not Offset by any
increase In traffic, as following losses
in revenue from passenger traffic for
1914, as compared with 1918, indi-
Gates:
est. Louis & San Francisco, de-
crease $94,6SS.22.
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, de-
crease $246,31918.
Chicago & Alton, decrease $28,354.-
SO.
Missouri, Kansas G Texas, de.
crease $60,555.56.
Missouri Pacific and Iron Noun.
tain, decrease $186,077SS.
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific,
decrease $101, 1879"
The opinion was written by Com
missioners Kennish and Shaw and IL
was concurred in by Chairman Atkin-
son and commissioners McQuillin and
Bean.
The railroads asked for increases
in freight rates ranging from S to zoe
per cent.
The commission refused to allow
the freight schedules submitted by
the roads, but increased some and re
duced others, resulting In a total ad
vance Of all rates of approximately
per cent.

Against Rate Raise.

Gov. Major declared he didn't ap-
prove of the action of the utility COM
mission in advancing the freight and
passenger rates for the railroads in
Missouri.
1t has been. known for some time that
the governor was opposed to in
creased rates for the railroads, but
his public announcement was a shock
to the politicians who are supporting
John M. Atkinson, chairman of the
service commission, for governor, on
the theory that he was the choice Of
Gov. Major and the administration.
The governor was told that railroad
men did not indorse the increase be-
cause they said they were not suffi-
cient. When asked IL he refused to
indorse 1t for the same reason, he
said: mo, do not indorse the in
crease. do not think the roads were
entitled to increased rates"

Case of Wireless Equipment
for BattIeship.

New York.-The arm Of the
government may be strengthened
for naval or military purposes at any
time it sees fit and at the expense OF
any individual or corporation to whom
it has granted patent, according to
ruling made by Federal Judge
Charles NJ. Hough in an injunction
and accounting suit brought by the
Marconi Wireless Telegraph Co. of
America against Emil ]. Simon, a
radio engineer
This ruling was based on an equity
G2LJ f..eA by the Marconi company
against Simon, who they asked to be
enjoined from infringing on their pat
ent in the construction of radio ap-
paratus for the United States under
CONTRACT Simon had with the navy
department. Judge Hough in his opin-
ion says:
"The navy department has en-
ployed Simon to construct radio ap-
paratus without which certain war
vessels now approaching completion
cannot go into commission. If Simon
does not complete the articles for
which he has contracted, injury to
the military arm of the government
will result. No injunction will be
issued in any way interfering with
the contract now existing between
Simon and the United States.
I'm time ef trouble, at periods wher
the arm of the government is in need
Of Strengthening, the executive may
be left in the exercise of powers per
haps doubtful in law, but temporarily

refusal of drastic relief and the re
mission Of private ligitants to slower
processes of pecuniary recompense.'

Attorneys for State Auditor Cor
don have filed 9 motion 10 Quash the
two inf0rmations filed against him
by Prosecuting Attorney Peters. who
accuses the state official OF having
issued two warrants without author
ity OF law.
The informations fled by Peters
were based on the issuance Of war
rants to cover expenses incurred by
the auditor and his. sor while attend
ing certain conventions on the Pa
cific coast.
Gordon's expenses were s201.21,
and those of his son s202.90.
The motion alleges among other
things that the informations should
be dismissed because they show on
their face that the warrants were
drawn in accordance with law; that
the informations fail to advise the
auditor of the nature of the offense
with which he is charged. that the
informations do not charge Gordon
with any offense against the law;
that the informations show on their
face that the auditor has been guilty
of no offense; that the informations
fail to set up any illegal items in
the warrants; that the informations
fail to charge that Gordon as auditor
knowingly issued the warrants un-
authorized by law.
