CATTLE CONGRESS DRAWS BIG
CROWDS.

/ The Cattle Congress and Pure
Food Shows at Waterloo last week,
attracted hundreds Of citizens from
Delaware county. Each morning
train carried large crowds to Water
loo, and in spite Of the threatening
weather and bad roads large num-
bers went by automobile. Not a
word OF criticism has been heard
from those who attended the shows.
Every one who went to the congress
and show to inspect the choice dairy
herds found Just they went to.
see. Some Of the fcntcest neards OF
dairy cattle were on exhibitions and
emphasized the place that this Sec
ticn of the state holds in the dairy
industry of the country. Grain and
vegetable exhibits from various Sec
tions of the country proved Of
unusual interest to the visitors
and engines and separators We're on
exhibition in large numbers. The
men in charge Of the congress, Mr..
E. S. Estell Of Waterloo, in particu-
lar, spared no efforts to provide
plenty of wholesome entertainment
for the thousands of visitors each
day. Addresses by prominent men
and women were given each after
noon, and musical programs by bands
added greatly to the effectiveness
of the programs. Between ten and
twelve thousand people visited the
congress on one 70 two days, and
other days the attendance was far in
excess of former years. The congress
is great educational feature for the
farmer and his family, and besides
showing what can be accomplished
in the raising of dairy cattle, it
also affords an opportunity to enjoy
excellent programs of speaking
and music.

of them with legs gone almost to
thei:' hips, we'll know its all old
story now, but someway l cannot
get used to it, and 1 just wanted to
cry. In that hospital is an Amerl-
can doctor, from Atlanta, young
surgeon with an Edinburg degree,
who is trying to do for the bodies
of these poor fellows what we are
trying to do for their souls.
Early last week, on the train be-
tween Glasgow and Edinburgh, met
a woman whom I call a heroine, and
worthy Of the Victoria Cross. She
climbed into our compartments with
her son, soldier of the Royal Scots.
She was plainly dressed in coarse
black and her hands were glove
less and showed the marks of in
cessant toll, and when she talked to
us it was in broad Scotch A gift
Of a Testament to her son opened
up the conversation. He told US
something about his own experience,
he was regular, in the army, and
had been in since the beginning of
the war, and had escaped so far
without a Scratch, although in some
pretty close scrimmages. In one en-
gagement bullet had lodged in the
canteen in his pack. Then we found
that he was one Of four broth ers, who
had offered themselves fer King
and Country, and as we turned to
the mother of these four, we learn
ed tho reason for her black attire.

last one fortnight ago." There
were no tears as she said it, you
felt she was past that. but resig-

tears. After a bit l said, rather
clumsily, Il hope the Government
pays you something for these lads,
who have fallen, who helped support
you in life." "Oh aye she said,

don't want to depress you in
these little stories, but perhaps 1t
will not harm us, to share in spirit
something Of these tragedies that
every day are breaking hearts over
here. And perhaps when our time
comes to learn the lesson of sorrow,
we will remember that we do but
belong to a great host united by a
common bond of suffering, and we
will endeavor to be as brave as they.

WABASH IS SOLD
 FOR S18,00O,0O0
First Step Taken by Com mittee Toward Reorgan-
 izing Big Railroad

St. Louis, July 21.-The first step In a plan for reorganizing the Wabash railroad and taking 1t out of the hands of re- ceivers was carried into effect today when purchasing committee of the joint re- organization committee of the road creditors bought the entire $220, GOO 900 sys- tenn with all it's assets and liabilities for SIS, GOO, 900.
 The railroad was sold at public auc- ton under foreclosure to satisfy at $A,- 000O00 mortgage held by the Equitable Trust company of New York. The pur- chasing committee presented the only bid As Judge Chester H. Krum. special mas- ter of the sale, accepted it. he said: And now gentlemen. may God have mercy on your souls.
 It was announced that E. F. Kearney. president, and one of the two receivers of the road, would be retained as pres- ident of the new Wabash The sale is subject to the federal courts approval
 Although it was expected generally, in railroad circles here that the lowest ac- ceptable bid would have to be in the neighborhood of sl3O. 900, 900, Judge Krum. in accepting the s1s,OOO.0O0 bid, said this amount was sufficient to pay for the out standing receivers certificates, interest on these certificates and expenses of the sale. These obligations will be due Au- gust 1, 1915.

STANDARD O|L CO.
 PLANTS NOW QUIET | FOLLOWING R|0T|NG
One Killed and Nearly 100 Hurt in Labor Trouble. The Strikers Reject
 Ultimatum

New York, July 21.-Quiet prevailed tonight at the Bayonne, N. J., plant of the Standard oil company, where in a riot today between police and strik ers one striker was killed and po- lice inspector. four patrolmen and nearly 100 strikers were hurt. The only excitement tonight was the discovery of four small fires within the plant which were controlled easily.
 The strikers late today rejected an uItimatum from the company that their returned to work tomorrow. Sheriff Eugene Kinkead. who pacified the strik CTS, arranged a conference between d strikers committee and company of ficials for tomorrow.
 Of the II special deputies whose presence led to the disorder, six were taken to jail in Jersey City tonight.
 Sheriff Kinkead said tonight that he would not permit any guards outside the Standard oil plant He said he could handle the situation and did not need state militia Mayor Pierre Gar van of Bayonne. earlier in the day. had asked the New Jersey governor for troops.
 Tn the rioting John Stovancik, aged IF. laborer, received revolver wounds arc died on the way to a hospital. None of the injured was hurt seriously The trouble started when ii special deputy sEeriffs met a crowd of several hum df ed strikers tMenaced, the deputies arted to run and were pursued.
 The ranks of the strikers augmented rapidly and soon nearly 800 men and boys had gathered outside a fire en- zine house where the deputies had talk en refuge Inspector cady at the head of polece squad, hurried to the scene. The strikers refused to disperse and the police are said to have fired q vclley over thc,r ,cads. This had no effect. and 2 volley was fired low.

FURTHER LOSS OF
 AMERICAN LIVES
 UNFR|ENDLY ACT
Policy of United States in Regard to German Con- troversy About De-
 cided Upon

Washington, July 21.-President Wilson and Secretary Lansing. conferring at the White House tonight, completed the new note to Germany warning her that the repetition of a disaster such as that vis- tied upon the Lusitana or any violation Of American rights on the high seas resulting in loss of American lives will be regarded as ''unfriendly" It will be dispatched tomorrow.
 The note Is in the nature of a final statement by the United States of the interpretation that will be placed by this government on future transgressions of American rights. and repeats that the undone to stand by the position 1t has previously declared
 Among the points in the new note are: l. The assumption by the United States that Germany, by declaring her subma- rine warfare to be retalatory measure against the alleged unlawful acts of her enemies. has admitted that the destruc- ton of unreslsting merchantmen with out warning is illegal.
  ready have proven that they can save the passengers and crews of vessels and can act in conformity with the laws of humanity in making war on enemy ships.
 View Violations as Unfriendly
 8. The United States cannot allow the relations between the belligerents to oper- ate in any way as an abbreviation of the rights of neutrals, and therefore. any violation of the principles for which the American government contends, result ing in a loss of American lives, will be viewed as "unfriendly."
 4. The representations which the Amer ican government has made in previous notes for disavowal of the intention to sink the Lusitania with Americans aboard and the request for reparation are reit- erated with renewed insstence.
 s. The American government realizes the unusual and abnormal conditions which the present conflict has created in the conduct of maritime war and is will ing to act as an intermediary as between the belligerents to arrange modus vi- vendi or any other temporary arrange ments which do not involve surrender by the United States of it's rights.
 G. The proposals made by Germany to give immunity to American ships not carrying contraband, and to four bellig- erent ships under the American flag, are reflected with the emphatic assertion that to accept such suggestion would be to admit Germanys right to set aside the American contention based on fundamen- tal principles in international law--that

If Session Is Further Di- vided Amendment May Yet Be Nullified on Technicality
HENDERSON IS NOT E, WORRIED OVER THE
 sIyS>"ION, HE SAYS
C. .TS 4tion Provides No . .endment Shall Be Sub- s.aitted Before Passage of
 90 Days After Adjourning
By HUGH w. ROBERTS


 Montgomery. July 21.-tSpecial) The measure providing for the sub- mission of . bond issue amend ment, paused by the senate this afternoon, provides that the pro- posed amendment shall be submit- ted December 20, 1915. This pro- vision means that the bill, in all probability, will have again to go through the house and senate. The constitution provides that no pro. posed amendment shall be submitted be- fore the passage of 90 days following the final adjournment of the legislature. Ii the session is further divided so that Il days will be left for emergencies next January. the bill as passed today will be nullified. Or, if the legislature should complete the session in the present sitting it is practically certain that December ?, would roll around prior to the conclusion of 90 days following adjournment. MT. Davis of Walker said this after noon that an amendment could easily be attached, that men who opposed the prin- ciple of the bill would not endeavor rs defeat it simply through a technicality Others, however, are not so optimistic. foi the amendment would have to receive a three-fifths majority vote just as the bill received.
 Henderson Not Worried
 Governor Henderson. when apprised of the situation, did not appear distressed He does not believe. in the first place that the. session will be divided.
 And even if the session is divided, he said, 'the bill can, in all probability, be remedied.

FIGHTING CLOSE ID
 AMERICAN BORDER
 AGAIN THREATENED
Carranza Forces Occupy NacO and Garrison Is Asked to Request
 Their Withdrawal

l Washington. July 21.-occupation of the
 Mexican town of Naco. on the Arizona
 border, by Carranza forces was brought
 to the attention of the state department
 today by Secretary of War Garrison with
 the recommendation that the Carranza
 commander be requested to withdraw in
 accord with an agreement entered into last
 winter that there should be no fighting
 there.
 1 The state department had taken no ac-
 tion tonight.
 | When the Mexican factions were con tending for Naco's possession last winter
 bullets and shells fell constantly on the American side. Through Major General Scott, chief of staff of the United States
 army; Governor Maytorena, for Villa and the Carranza leader. General Gales, | agreed that all military forces should be
 withdrawn and the town be left neu- tral port. Secretary Garrison regards the present occupation as violation of the agreement.
 Protests to Lansing Enrique C. Ilorente. Villa agent here,
 protested today to Secretary Lansing that only the absence of Maytorena troops from northern Sonora to protect Ameri-
 cans in the Yaqui territory had made
 possible the taking of Naco and the killing
 of civilian guards and customs employees. "In view of the act of duplicity. by
 which General Gales will now seek to profit by using Naco as a base for the ac-
 emulation of munitions of war and as a rendezvous for the concentration of re- | cruits." said Llorente's statement, "I re- spectfully suggest that the exportation of munitions of war from the American
 side at Naco be. for the time being pro-
 hibited. Such l am sure will serve to
 discourage military operations near the border towns. which my government like that of the United States, is so anxious to sec avoided"
 The situation at Mexico City and sur rounding territory continued today to | cause ajjrehension here. no direct word
 having been received from the capital
 since reports yesterday that Zapata' . forces had re-entered.
 Reviews Situation l A dispatch to Carranza's Washington
 agency from Vera Cruz tonight reviewed the situation as follows:
