no more picketing.
Seven well-known clubwomen will
watch picketing today as a result of
the meeting of representatives OF
prominent women's clubs yesterday.
Several arrests were made of strik-
ers yesterday.
Apparently finding hiring of taxis
to send home strikebreakers too ex-
pensive, some of the clothing bosses
have installed cots and commlssary
departments, turning the shops into
lodging houses for their employees,
who, in a few cases, have also been
locked in the shops.
Committee of citizens appointed at
meeting of strikers last night, met to-
day to investigate charges of strik-
ers that police were employing brutal
methods to preevnt the mpicketing.
More than fifty Independent firms
have signed up with the Amalgamat-

President Hillman stated, and others
are negotiating. A mass meeting of
the strikers will be held next Monday.
Hillman will see First Deputy

Further Developments Expected.

In announcing the result, Secretary
Daniels prophesied further development
in long distance communication both
for military and naval service and COM
mercial usage.
I'm the first experiments" said Secre-
tary Daniels, the voice was successful
ly transmitted by radio to Mare Island
from Arlington, the return answers and
communications being made over the
transcontinental land telephone line.
This was successfully accomplished in
the presence of officials and engineers
of the Western Electric Company. a
representative of the Signal Corps of
the army, representatives of the tech
meal and operating departments of the
Navy Department and a few other in
terested parties.
After this successful demonstration,
conversation originating in New York
was transmitted over the land line to
Arlington, there automatically con-
nected to the radio transmitter. which
carried the voice to Mare Island, where
it was clearly and distinctly received,
and answers and other conversation
were from there transmitted over the
transcontinental line to the originating
office in New York.

that experiments extending over sew

This achievement, together with the

Occupation of Torreon Gives Car

End of Railways.

VERA CRUZ, September 3O.-Gen
Benjamin Hill, second in command to
Gen. Obregon, left here this afternoon
for Mexico City. During Gen Pablo
Gonzalezs absence in operating against
the followers of Emiliano Zapata, Gen
Hill will be in military command in the
capital.
Ell PASO, Tex, September 30.-The
occupation of Torreon by Carranza forces
under Gen. Obregon gives command of
the southern end of the main line of the
Villa railways to Juarez and of the line
running to Durango City. 1t brings with
it the task of feeding a civil population
of about $4,000, which has been subsisting
on practically starvation rations for more
than a month. Telegraph communication
between Torreon and Juarez was cut to-
night.
The occupation comes at time when
the cotton crop of the Laguna district is

reported to be only 25 per cent of normal

tute no act of war. nor will such a
course be taken until the country has
exhausted all other measures that
are consistent with its honor and its
rights.
What Germany will do in the event
of the breaking of diplomatic inter
course will determine the ultimate
outcome. 1t is keenly realized that
Germany might declare war. In that
event it will be war of her own MAX
ing.
Probably the most significant utter
ance in the presidents speech at
Philadelphia was his advice to his
naturalized fellow citizens ito think
first of humanity" 1t was interpret
ed here as confirming what has been
strongly believed from the first
that the president will put humanity
above all other considerations in the
handling of the Lusitania matter.

LUSITANIA FIGURES
REMAIN UNCHANGED

Queenstown, May 12.-Although
Cunard officials suggest that there
may be a few survivors of the Lusi-
tania not yet reported, suffering from
injuries at some lonely fishing hut or
farmers cottage, this hope finds no
reflection i'm off cial circles.
There it is believed the list is all
accounted for. The figures are little
changed from twenty-four hours ago.
The latest available show: Dead pas
sengers and crew, 1,150; saved pas
sengers and crew, 767. OF the latter
465 were passengers and 302 were
members of the crew.
Eight other bodies have just been
brought in here. Seven others are
coming on a Cunard line tug from
County Cork This makes total OF
159 that have been taken from the
sea and tugs are searching for others.
1t is stated here many of the bodies
found. especially those of women, had
their lifebelts Improperly adjusted.
There were few, even of those saved,
who had attached them so that they
got the most benefit.

Paris, May IA rumor current on

ment has signed an agreement with
Great Britain, France and Russia to
take part in the war not later than
May 26. This rumor is without con.
flrmation.
French observers of the political
situation in Italy infer from the audi
ence between King Victor Emmanuel
and former Prime Minister Giolitti
that the nonintervention party in
Italy has determined to withdraw all
opposition to the war.
Consequently the Italian parties
would be united in support of a war
policy, in the judgment of French OBJ
servers, based on two fundamental
considerations, namely, that wrongs
have been done to Servia and Bel
gium ana that the racial aspirations

Set Victory for Summer.
Military writer's are presenting the
argument that war for Germany and
Austria on third frontier undoubted-
ly will make the resistance of the
central empires on their other fronts
more feeble, so much so that with the
advent of Italy victory over Germany
is set for the middle of the summer.
Another version of the territorial
concessions Austria is said to have
proposed to Italy has been printed by
the Mattino of Naples and telegraph
ed to the Havas agency by its Rome
correspondent. According to this re-
port Austria is willing to cede part of
the province of Trent to Italy, to.
gether with a strip of territory in the
region of the lsonzo river, which emp
ties into the Gulf of Trieste Trieste
itself is absolutely excluded, as well
as lstria and Pole.
The Italian cabinet is said to have
considered these concessions INSULT
cient and made counter proposition
demanding further concessions.

PRESIDENT MAY
ASK GUARANTEE
Wants Germany to Assure
Protection OF Americans.
OCCASION NOT PROPER ONE
Mr.. Wilson Says Philadelphia Speech
Had No Reference to Lusitania At
fair and Should Not Be Considered
an Announcement of Policy.

an Announcement of Policy
Washington, May 12.-President
Wilson has not yet disclosed his hand
in the issue between the United
States and Germany. He told visitors
bthat his Philadelphia speech is not to
be taken as a declaration of Ameri-
can policy, that no part of it was a
reference TO the Lusitania tragedy
and that he did not consider the occa-
sion at Philadelphia as a proper one
at which to make any announcement
of policy.
He said he was not thinking of any
special matter, but of the newly
naturalized Americans in his audi
ence. The president used the express
sion that he was thinking of the
cain" some people are trying to
raise.
There is reason to believe that the
president has practically determined
on his course toward Germany and
that the chief thing now under con-
sideration is the question of precise
method. While opinion as to the
presidents plans, because of his con-
tinued silence, must remain largely
a matter of speculation, there is
very strong idea in well informed
quarters that his program will be of
a more decisive character than any
Interpretation which might be put
upon the Philadelphia speech would
warrant.
Expression of Adherence.
What is expected in Washington
and within few days at the most
is a notice to Germany that the Unit
ed States looks with adherence and
Indignation on the policy of naval
warfare pursued by Germany, with
the sinking of the Lusitania as the
climax of a series of grievous acts.
Following a blunt statement of the
facts there is expected to be call
on Germany either to cease her pres
ent submarine warfare, or to furnish
guarantees to the United States that

property.
The note may go through ordinary
diplomatic channels, although it will
cause no great surprise if the presi-
dent should transmit it directly from
the White House to the kaiser
Following the sending of such
note the issue will be up to Germany.
A reasonable time, of course, will be
allowed for reply; yet there are
strong indications that the United
States will brook no unnecessary de-

If Germany. in the event the presi-
dent dispatches such a note, furnishes

IDENTITIES to be settled at some fu-
ture time.
Refusal May Mean Gerard's Recall.
II Germany refuses to alter her
present course or to give satisfactory
assurances for the safety OF Ameri-
cans there is a widely expressed view
that President Wilson will recall Am
bassador Gerard from Berlin and will
dismiss from the United States Am
bassador Won Bernstorff. In such an
event Dr. Bernhard Dernburg Is like
