BRYAN
COMES OUT STRONG FOR PRO.
HIBITION IN LETTER TO
COMMITTEEMAN.
Hopes to See Democratic Party
Take Stand and Come Out
in Its Favor.

WASHINGTON. April 7.-Secre-
tary Bryan made public tonight a let
ter he had written to L. w. Kenning-
ton. Democratic national committee
man from Iowa, expressing the hope
that the Democrats OF Iowa would
take a stand for prohibition and vote
against officials who could be con-
trolled by the liquor interests.
In a statement given out with the
letter. Mr.. Bryan said he hoped to
see the Democratic party take the
prohibition side wherever the ques-
! tion was raised and that IL the liquor
interests insisted upon making an
issue in the selection OF a national
committeeman the people opposed to
the liquor traffic could not afford TO
ignore IL.
Il do not know 10 what extent the
! liquor question will be an issue in
the campaign next year" he added.
AT the present time IL does not
seem probable that II will find a place
in the platform OF either the Demo
cratic or the Republican party. but
there is no reason why the national
committeeman should not represent
the sentiment OF the party on this
subject as on other subjects"
Mr.. Remington had written NJ.
Bryan that his name was being used
in behalf OF a candidate for the ma
tional committee.

HE SAYS ROADS
IN GOOD SHAPE
J. 3. ABRAMS MAKES QUICK TRIP
FROM AVANNAH-ONLY LIT
TIE WORK NEEDED.

"The roads between Brunswick and
Savannah are in unusually good shape
just at present" said J. B. Abrams
yesterday in discussing the good roads
meeting to be held in Brunswick on
July 5, he being chairman of the local
Board of Trade committee which will
have charge of the meeting.
81 came over from Savannah in my
machine Monday" he continued, land
made the trip in three hours and
55 minutes which, in view of the fact
that | did not try to break any rec
ords, is very good time and shows that
the roads must be in good shape"
Mr. Abrams said that of course
some work was needed, especially in
one or two places in Bryan county.
In Mcintosh county, lie said, the roads
were in excellent condition, while the
same was true of the roads in Glynn
and Chatham He is of the opinion
that with very little work this road
can be made one of the best to be
found anywhere in this section, and
is of the opinion that the meeting to
be held here will do much towards get
ting the necessary improvements
made.

Investigation Into the Sinking
of Big Liner Is Resumed
in London.
DIDN'T AVOID THE WAR ZONE
Booth, Chairman of Board, Says
Company Could Communicate
With Steamer Only Through
Admiralty.

LONDON, June 16.-The inquiry
into the sinking of the Lusitania was
resumed today with the examination
of Alfred A. Booth, chairman of the
board of the Cunard Steamship COM
pany.
The attorney general, Sir Edward
Carson, asked Mr.. Booth why the
Lusitania was economizing by using
only 10 of her 25 boilers at the time
she was torpedoed.
so far as submarines are con-
cerned, there is no difference between
21 and 24.5 knots" Mr.. Booth replied.
MI Carson then asked whether
there was any difference between 18
knots, the speed a. which the Lusi-
tania was proceeding when at
tackled, and 81 knots. Nj Booth
replied that never before had any
steamer making more than IA knots
been struck by a torpedo from a sub
marine.
The witness said the Cunard COM
pany was unable to communicate
with the vessel by wireless except
thr~ "gh the admiralty, and therefore
had given no wireless instructions to
Captain Turner General instructions
given previously covered the closing
of the water-tight compartments, the
swinging out of boats on entering the
danger zone, and an order not to slow
down to take on a pilot or to lie off
Liverpool for the tide. 1t was left
to Captain Turner's discretion to ar
range the time of the vessels arrival
He said all he knew relatives to warn
ings issued to intending passengers
was what he had read in English
newspapers.
Mr. Booth was asked by an attor-
ney representing survivors whether
the company took any steps to pre-
vent the Lusitania from doing what
she did do, namely, entering the war
zone on schedule" The witness re-
piled he did not know what schedule
time meant, but Captain Turner had
been given entire discretion.
Mr. Booth said he received no word
from Captain Turner during the voy-
age. During the morning of the day
the Lusitania was torpedoed the Gu
nard company asked the admiralty to
communicate with the ship concerning
threats against it.

Third Member of Arbitration
Board Has Been Agreed
Upon.
SITUATION IS NOW IMPROVED
Questions Between the Two
Factions Will Soon Be De-
cided and Big Car Strike Will
Come to End.

CHICAGO, June 16.-The strike OF
l14,000 Chicago street car men which
began Monday was called off shortly
after 5 o'clock today. All points at
issue will be settled by arbitration
Operation of cars on all lines was to
be resumed as quickly as the striking
men could be notified.
The end of the strike which has
tied up electric transportation for two
days, came with the selection OF
Mayor William Hale Thompson as
the third member of a board of arbi
tration, the main question at issue.
Officials of the companies will select
an arbitrary agreement by SatGr.
day, it was announced w. d. Mahon,
international president of the car
mems union, probably will represent
the men.
The selection of Mayor Thompson
was agreed to at a 15-hour confer
ence, which began yesterday after
noon. Union leaders, officials of the
transportation lines, and members of
the mayors aldermanic strike com,
mittee were in attendance.
After a heated discussion on the
question of selecting a third arbi-
traitor, Leonard A. Busby, president of
the Chicago surface lines, suggested
the name of Mayor Thompson, and
the committee representing the street
car men, headed by w. d. Mahon,
accepted him after a short discus
sion.
When the cOnferees emerged from
the mayors office their faces were
Wreathed in smiles.
Sessions of the board of arbitra-
ton probably will be begun early next
week, it was announced. The plan
decided on stipulates that all ques-
tions at issue will be heard without
any advance concessions having been
made
Announcement of the statement
came too late to start cars for the
rush hours today
Officials of the traction systems
telegraphed Eastern labor agencies
not to employ any more men as
strlkebreakers. Six thousand men
already have been started here, it
was said. Sixteen hundred arrived
last night and were placed under
guard in lodging houses and termi-
nails of the companies.
