were made by the former cham

: SUBMARINE WAR Note

WASHINGTON, July 16-The re-

on the subject of submarine warfare
as conducted by Germany against the
commerce of the allies was discussed
by Ambassador Count Won Bernstorff
with Secretary of State Lansing for
half an hour today. This was the first
discussion between the Secretary and
the German envoy since the arrival
of the German representation in an
swer to President Wilson's latest note.
Declaring that the interview was
confidential, Secretary Lansing said
he would not attempt to answer ques-
tions as to whether it was satisfac-
tory. He added that in his opinion no
explanation of the last note was neces-
sary.
The secretary refused to confirm
the report that the German ambassa-

as to whether it would broach to
Great Britain some modification of the

FOR SELLING LIQUOR

Attorneys Robbins and Richardson
appeared in city court this morning on
behalf Of Mrs. Lucy Morgan, colored,
charged with selling liquor illegally,
and entered plea or guilty for her,
and then begged the court to impose
the minimum sentence, $50 and costs.
and then suspend sentence They
said the woman only had $50. She
and her husband conducted a resort at
the old Akron House, Fort Wayne
avenue, her husband dying a day or
two after it was raided last month.
Mayor Robbins imposed the minimum
fine but refused to suspend sentence
Prosecutor Keller said he could have
charged the woman with operating a
blind tiger, which would have meant
a jail sentence upon conviction, and
he could also have charged her with
conducting a disorderly house. He
said, however, that he decided to
impose the least serious of the three
charges.

You have been correctly informed" :"
answered the scribe.
THAT being the case, if 1t is not
too much trouble, would you mind call
ing at the Detroit Bird Store, 213
Third avenue, and take a look at a
Rhesus monkey, which. I have been
informed can be purchased for $25. If
it looks good to you, tell 'em to ship it

claimed the reporter. Il could not tell
a Rhesus fom a gorilla
You know as much about a Rhesus
as I do replied Ford. l never saw
one in my life, but the zookeeper at
Muncie says they stand our climate
better than any other kind of monkey,
so if this Rhesus thing up in Detroit
look good to you, I give you the au-

In vacating the order committing
Thaw to Matteawan. Justice Hendrick
rejected the petition of the state that
Thaw be returned to Matteawan asy-
lum where he was an inmate several
years.
The announcement of Justice Hen
drick fixing Thaw's bond at $4,000 at
once started an argument, Thaw'S
counsel contending the amount was
excessive. Although counsel for the
state protested, the court reduced the
bond, fixing at $4,000.
Thaw's bond was signed by the Ma
tional Surety company. 1t is said that
Mrs Thaw and the Thaw family took
gilt-edge railroad bonds with them to
cover the bail bonds. On his way
from the court house Thaw was sur
rounded by throng of men and wom-
en-. Some of the women were crying.
All shouted, "Stick to mother" God
bless you," Don't drink" Keep away
from Broadway"
Thaw smiled to his admirers and
waved the crowd away as he went into
the sheriff's office. At 1 o'clock he
left the sheriff's office and was hus-
tied into an auto. The trip down
Broadway was one grand ovation.
Thaw stood up in the auto and posed
for photos. They turned off Broadway

ed the ferry and Thaw left by auto
for Philadelphia. Whether he will

CAUGHT ON TOP
OF TROLLEY POLE

1t was only green automobile veil
but it created lots of excitement on
Main street yesterday afternoon.
Its owner saw it soaring skyward
and craned her neck to watch it. 9th
ers saw the woman looking upward
and prompted by curiosity they turn
ed their eyes toward the heavens. The
veil floated serenely to the top of a
threestory building between Seventh
and eighth streets, while two or three
hundred persons on the sidewalk
watched its flight.
The wind died out and the green
scarf started downward, alighting on
trolley pole several feet from the
second story Of Main street dry
goods house Armed with a long pole
an employe crawled out on the win
dow sill and fished for the runaway
veil, finally restoring it to the owner.

Fear was thrown into the hearts Of
local operators of baseball pools, eth

for a big national syndicate, when it
was learned that federal authorities
had arrested Thomas E. Warman at
Wilkesbarre, Pa, on the charge Of
conducting pool with ramifications
in nearly every part OF the country.
Warman was given a hearing and
held under $4,000 bond for violating
two sections of the federal penal code.
He and J. J. Kilcoyne, who published
a baseball paper at Wilkesbarre, will
appear before the federal grand jury
In Philadelphia in September.
That baseball pools were operated
in Richmond was generally known,
and it Is also known that local men
acted as agents for outside operators
of pools. Inasmuch as Hardy was ar
rested at Cincinnati as agent for a
baseball magazine, used as a cloak to
sell lottery tickets, it is believed that
local men have made themselves liza

ing the agents of the Weekly World
in every city and town where the pa
per has circulation. This held true
also of other magazines sold as lot

World and Pastime Review are other
papers published with lottery induce
ments.
In Richmond, the pools were sold
right and left. Many women, clerks in
offices and stores, bookkeepers and
stenographers were among the pur-
chasers. They paid 80 cents week
for an issue of a magazine which
gave them a ticket with a lottery
chance on the games played in all
leagues that week.
