"There is not a shadow of doubt

said William Marconi in London. Mr..
Marconi expressed deep interest in the
news that Washington had talked by
wireless with Honolulu, and that eff
forts were under way to connect up
with Japan. He said: "While it is
likely that the operators had to wait
for advantageous atmospheric condi-
tions, the fact that wireless telephon-

present, such result is possible only

titled the submarine commander who
made the attack, and expresses regret
over the loss Of American lives, and
agrees to pay indemnity to the fam
lilies of the Americans lost. Officials
at Washington are gratifed by the
diplomatic victory.
The communication was delivered to
Secretary Lansing by the ambassador
today pursuant to instructions from
his government. It spread absolute
confidence that there will be no more
submarine controversies between the
United States and Germany, for the
document reveals that stringent or
ders have been given German subma-
rine commanders to prevent recur-
renee Of the Arabic incident.
With the Arabic controversy set
tied the despatch of the England
American note on interference with
Trade is expected in few days. Pres
fdent Wilson has refused consistently
to send this communication as long
as the controversy with Germany was
pending.
Admission of the mistake was con-
veyed last Saturday, but this govern
ment's construction of it was that
acknowledgement of error was value
less unless accompanied by repara-
ton or the assumption of liability. On
that point no word could be obtained
from the embassy or the state depart
ment.

Experts Make
Series of Tests
of Biggest Guns
RY AssocIATEp PRrss.

New York, Oct. 5.-A board of
ordinance experts of the United States
army was engaged at Sandy Hook to-
day in maintaining an extensive Sc
ries of big gun tests, using one of the
12-inch guns which guard the APP
proach to New York City.
Their purpose was to ascertain the
power and quality of explosive
charges rathert han to test marks
manship. The 1000 pound projectiles
used IN the big guns were sent ten
miles at sea while the experts watched
the effect of the shots. The expert
ments are expected TO continue all this
week and the tests may have an i'm
portant influence upon the coast artl-
lery. 1t has been admitted that these
12-inch guns have not at present suf-
ficient range to cope with the 15-inch
guns with which some British war
ships have been armed, but it has
been suggested that by changing the
elevation Of the coast guns, their eff
fectiyeness may be increased.

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, October 5.-Admiral
Fletchet's Atlantic feet of battleships

coast from Maine to Florida against
hostile force under Vice-admiral

The progress of the operations vii
be kept secret because of the desire o

Paris, Oct. 5.--General Mehmed
Cherif Pasha, one Of the leaders of
the radical Turk party, writing in
the Matt, afirms that the Young
Turks "have sold Constantinople to
Bulgaria, with the pledge of re
ceiving in exchange Russia's Asiatic
possessions, Egypt and all of North
Africa, always assuming, of course,
that Germany and her allies defeat
the quadruple entente powers"
Chief Pasha points out that if this
program should be carried through
successfully, the greater portion of
the Musselman world would come
under Turkish domination. He also
asserts that it is the hope of fulfill
ing his ambitious dream of seeing
himself crowned in the Mosque OF
San Sofia that has left King Fer

JOHNSON DIGS
INTO
CITY PAY ROLL
Investigations Cover Period
of More Than the Past
Twelve Monhs.
SPENDS WHOLE DAY
CHECKING SHEETS
Pay Rolls, Vouchers and
Warrants Being Assem-
bled by Commissioner.

City Commissioner Thos. Fl. john
son, who made public statement at
the meeting of the city commission
ers, charging irregularities in the
street department pay rolls, spent all
of yesterday in the offices of the CITY
clerk and comptroller. He is busy as
sembling the time sheets, pay rolls,
vcu~ ers and warrants covering the
past twelve months or more and in
tends going so thoroughly in the mat
ter that nothing will be left undone
when he completes the work.
One thing which appeared on the
surface yesterday is the promise of
all the publicity possible on the in
vestigations, so far as the street de-
partment's alleged irregularities are
concerned. 1t was unofficially stated
that the public will have an oppor-
tunity of knowing every development,
and will be given the opportunity Of
knowing just who was responsible for
the errors, and if no Irregularities are
discovered, it will be the purpose Of
the street commissioner to also let the
public know it.
The big surprise which was caused
by the public announcement on the
part of Commissioner johnson was
the talk of the city yesterday, and
especially in every department in the
city buildings was the stand Of the
street commissioner commented on.
There was very general disposi-
ton to lend an encouragement to this
way of letting the people know what
is transpiring, and the open asscr-
tons of the official and the promise
of probing to the bottom of the al
legged padding" of the payroils is ex-
pected to be followed by more thor
oughly developed Investigations, m
the outcome of which speculation was
rife yesterday.
It was rumored that names were
found on the pay roll for one month
in the recent past Of persons who
confessed they did not make the tina
ascribed to them on the pay sheet.
This rumor, however, was not quail
fed by anyone in authority or in
position to know, in the city building,
yesterday, but it was known generally
that such rumor was being investi-
gated, with promise of some ex-
ceedingly satisfactory results.

London, Oct. 5.-Greece is now the

council that "every Bulgarian who
breaks with Russia is a traitor"

college of Wisconsin has been making
on four-acre tract near Madison.
Catnip, boneset, spearmint, pepper
mint, sage, horehound and tansy are
some Of the drug weeds which Pro
lessor Kremer found could be grown
with profit. For all these there ID a
steady market, and they can be grown
with no more care or attention than
ordinary timothy hay. While the lat
ter Is high at one cent a pound. the
leaves Of the drug weeds. when prop
eriy dried and cured. may be sold for
from three to eight cents q pound. q
Spearmint is one Of the many weeds
ordinarily neglected which Professor
Kremer hnds can be grown with profit.
Manufacturers Of chewing gum and
other commodities use large quantities
and it can be grown on wet, soggy
ground which is useless for any other
purpose
The finest quality OF catnip can be
sold for eight cents pound. while
sage and peppermint present good pos
sibilfties of profit. The boneset Is a
wild plant usually growing In marshy
ground. It may be planted broadcast
like timothy and the dried plants are
worth from i've to ak cents pound.
