CHICAGO CAR NET :
CO BACK TO WORK
Full Service on Surface and
L Lines Resumed at
Noon
PARTIAL VICTORY IS
WON BY THE STRIKERS
By The United Press.

CHICAGO, June 16-The great
Chicago street car strike was called
off at o'clock this morning. Full
service on all elevated and surface
lines was resumed at noon.
Agreement to end the transporta-
tion tie-up was reached following an
all-night conference in Mayor
Thompson's offices at City Hall at
which the Mayor. heads of the car
lines, strike leaders and members of
the special aldermanic strike commit
tee attended. 10 was not until dawn
was breaking that the organization
factions agreed to concede certain
points, and to arbitrate the others.
There are two points to be arbi-
trated. They are the length of time
the men must work to receive a
maximum wage and wage scale.
Mayor Thompson was vested by
both sides with full powers to umpire
the points in dispute. The men agree
to return to work at the old wage
scale. Any change in wages that
might be granted will date back TO
June 1.
BY the terms drawn up the elevated
and surface lines must name their
member of the arbitration board
within three days. The unions have
agreed to do likewise. Both sides will
be given a week in which to prepare
their respective cases. At the end of
that time hearings will begin inn
mediately There is no time limit set
for the arbitration proceedings.
Immediately the decision for peace
full settlement was reached notifica-
tion was sent to minor heads of the
lines TO receive the men and prepare
the cars for resumption of service at
noon. w. ID. Mahon likewise notified
the strikers TO go back to their jobs.
Strike leaders declared the peace
full ending was a partial victory for
the union. They admitted they were
forced TO make certain concessions
which at first they had refused abso-
lutely to grant.
Besides being the most complete
tie-up any American city of size has
ever known, the two-day strike here
was the most peaceful There we're
only two reports of violence, and il
was impossible to trace these acts
to the strikers.

SAY HIS MISSION
Was TO HARM Allies
BY the United Press.

WASHINGTON. June 16.-"Possi-
Bile, but improbable" was the official
verdict here today on the story that
German Ambassador Bernstorff's spe-
cial envoy to Berlin was not DR.. Anton
Meyer-Gerhard, a Red Cross agent. as
represented but DR.. Alfred Meyer, of
the Kaiser's war ministry. Such also
was the verdict on the alternate
story that DR.. Alfred Meyer. after
completing a mission of investigation
in America, sailed for home as DR..
Anton Meyer-Gerhard' servant or
secretary.
Acting Secretary of state Lansing
and Ex-Secretary Bryan both dis
claimed any facts tending to bear out
either version. Both said the ennis
sary's identity had never been ques-
toned.
Ambassador Bernstorff was not in
Washington and all but very minor
attaches of the embassy we're in sum-
mer quarters at Cedarhurst. l.. l.
Acting Secretary Lansing intimated
that the State Department would in
vestigate the reports, but added that
even if they proved true, there was no
violation of law-only a discourtesy
to the United States government.
"At the German ambassadors re-
quest" he stated. "a letter was given
to DR.. Gerhard, saying he had been in
this country as a Red Cross repre-
sentative and desired to return to
Germany"
This letter was signed by Secretary
Bryan. The only other assurances

Bryan and the embassies.

Nobody ever raised any issue con
cerning his identity, said Lansing
and no protests or reports were re
ceived to the effect that another in
dividual was masquerading as the

If the visitor was a German pur.

admitted, the hoax on Washington of

Germany except insofar as IL might

START some WORK ON
DUPONT boulevard
A AnnOuncem ent From
Georgetown That Right
of Way is Entirely
Secured
SURVEYORS GO OVER
ROUTE TO SELBYVILLE

Much interest was manifested today
in the announcement from George
town that the last obstacle in the
path of the DUPONT boulevard between
Georgetown and the Maryland line
was removed yesterday, when the
right of way was completely assured
and actual work was begun.
T. J. Buck and corps of surveyors
and engineers are now engaged in
mapping out the route, and it is ex-
pected that active construction work
will soon be started
When a delegation of prominent
Sussex countians called on General
DUPONT recently and urged him to
construct the boulevard from George
town to Selbyville, they assured him
that the entire right of way had been
secured. Deeds had not been secured
for the right Of way through several
properties that had been condemned
and paid for, however. and General
DUPONT stated that as soon as those
deeds were secured he would start
construction work.
1t is evident that the entire right
of way has now been secured in fee
simple, since preliminary work has
been started. II is believed that
General DUPONT will lay a concrete
roadway from Georgetown to Selby-
Vile, a distance of eighteen miles.
and may reinforce it with iron or
steel rods to assure it holding firm
on the sandy foundation. If this is
done, it will be the first public road
way of reinforced concrete construct
ed in the United States.
General DUPONT is in Boston and
nothing further of his plans could
be learned today.
