TED STATES EVIDENT.

an increase in pay from fifty to seven
ty-five cents day, according to ]. G.
Billes, chief of the bureau of labor Of
the Porto Rican government, who has
arrived here on the steamship Phila-
delphia. The demands were being ad-
justed and the majority of the strikers
were back at work when he left.
Large fields of sugar cane were burn
ed in some districts.
The strike was being settled through
the efforts Of government officials and
the cooperation of the planters. No
material decrease in the output was
noticed, Mr.. Billes, said, losses due to
the strike being Offset by increased
production.

DENY RUMOR OF
SEPARATE PEACE
RUSSIA TO KEEP ON FIGHTING
TURKS TILL OTHER ALLIES
ARE SATISFIED.

Rome, April Both the Russian
and Turkish ambassadors to Italy, in
terviewed the Giornale D. Italia, en-
phatically asserted that there was no
foundation to the report that Djavid
Pasha, Turkish minister of finance,
who is now in Geneva, has been en-.
trusted with the task of negotiating
a separate Russo-Turkish peace
treaty.
NJ. Kroupenski, the Russian ambas-
sador, is quoted by the Giornale D.
Italia as declaring that Russia never
would conclude peace separately from
Great Britain and France, especially
when she was on the even OF realiz-
ing the oldest Muscovite ambition.
Naby Bey, the Turkish ambassador,
asserted that his country would re-
main faithful to her allies and never
would conclude a peace separately
from them. He added that there was
no reason why Turkey should seek
to end hostilities at this time for she
occupies an excellent position in the
Caucasus. while the Dardanelles have
proved impregnable and she is prepar-
Ing surprises in Egypt.

HOPING TO AVOID
T|[-UP BY Strike
SAMUEL GoMPERs TAKES PART
IN LABOR TROUBLE IN CHICAGO
AND MAY SETTLE IT.

Chicago, April 2.-Samuel Gompers
president Of the American Federation
Of Labor, was optimistic today in the
belief that general industrial tie-up
in Chicago will be avoided.
His belief was based upon action
taken by the unions. The painters
and plasterers agreed to submit to an
arbitration board, consisting Of three
municipal court Judges, the question
whether their strike was in violation
OF agreements. The painters, decora
tors and glaciers havel appointed a
committee to renew negotiations for
an agreement with the employers.
This sudden change In the situation
is said to have been due to an investi-
cation made under direction of Presi-
dent Gompers. The inquiry is said to
/. ave shown that the position Of the
contractors had been erroneously pre-
sented.

Liquor Problem Absorbing
Interest of the Nation
Above Everything
PAPERS LINE UP ON
TEMPERANCE SIDE
How Far to Go Is the Only
Question in the Minds
of General Public

London, April 2.-The attention OF
the British public is today concentrate
ed on the question of abstinence. For
the moment it has overshadowed the
war This is Good Friday and In Lon
don there are no afternoon papers. but
1t is doubtful IL the biggest headlines
chronicling military activity could d.
vert the attention of the people from
the all absorbing topic Of the POSSIBLE
ity of "dry" country.
That some drastic measures are con.
templated is beyond question, but the
public is divided in opinion as to whet-
er the prohibition is to be total or
whether the consumption of alcoholic
liquors will be permitted under sharp
control.
Several OF the London morning pa
pers appeared today with full page
advertisements presenting petitions
with the request that supporters OF
the movement cut them out and send
them to Chancellor of the Exchequer
Lloyd-George. These petitions read:
am entirely in favor of the sus-
pension Of the manufacture and sale
of intoxicating liquors during the war,
which | consider imperative for q
quick and successful termination of
the war. l shall heartily support the
government in any such measure
The petition idea Is backed by mer-
chants and business men and other
employers of labor, who disclaim any
save war interest in the proposed
measure. sst
The sense of personal liberty Is so
strong In England that 1t may defeat
total prohibition. But the sense OF
fair play lights on the side OF the ex-
treme measure, for the opinion Is
growing, that II employees be deprived
Of their right to drink, employers must
take their place in the same boat.
It is believed that the cabinet is in
favor Of total prohibition. which. un-
der the Defense Of the Realm act, 1t
has the power to enforce without any
further legislation.

Chicago, April "A generation on
the bench in Chicago had not harden
ed Judge George Kersten enough to
save him from a shock when three
boys arraigned before him today,

store last February.
We're guilty." said young Fenter,
who acted as spokesman.
"Guilty?" exclaimed the Judge.
yep" We went into this store to-
stick up this dame and this guy came
in and swatted me on the noodle. I'm
not taking that kind of stun SO UP
with my gun and puts one In his
heart"
"And you did that just because this
man came to the aid Of woman"
calculated Judge Kersten. do you
realize that this plea may send you to
the gallows?'
well, IL you guys feel that way
about 1t, make 1t not guilty" said Fem
ter, and he and his companions laugh
ed. The judge turned to Miller and
Malm. Were with our pal" said
Malm, what 'Fanty' says goes with
u.s."
The boys were led back to jail to 4
await trial and Judge Kersten re-
marked to those near him, II never
heard anything like that before. They
are just boys. Something must be
done to change the environment OF
such boys"

ACTION OF PAGET IS
SURPRISE TO ITALY

Rome, April 2.Surprise Is ex-
pressed by the, Idea Nazionale because
General Sir Arthur Paget, who has
been on special mission for Great
Britain to the capitals Of the Balkan
states. left for London without calling
on any officials of the Italian govern
ment. In fact he spent only one night
in Rome.
The Idea Nazionale declares the
brief visit here of Sir Arthur is espec-
tally difficult to understand because 1t
is believed the information he gather
ed in the Balkans, especially at Buch-
Arrest and Sofia, indicated that their
was dependent chiefly on
similar action being taken In Italy.

German Raider
Gets Provisions

Newport News, Va. April g.,
Provisions for q fifteen days voy-
age began going aboard the Ger
man auxiliary cruiser Pring Eitel
Friedrich today under supervis-
ion of the local port authorities.
The loading of the stores, how
ever, including several thousand
bottles of beer, will not be finish
ed before Sunday, and soon there
after some definite development 10
expected to show whether the
German raider will dash to sea
through the fan of hostile cruis-
ers OF the Virginia capes or will
be interned for the remainder OF
the war.
One report widely circulated in
marine circles that the Eitefs
time does not expire for some
days, was given credence, but 1t
was pointed out that irrespective
of her time limit, the Eitel, under
international law, cannot leave
Newport News within twenty-four
hours of the departure of mer-
chant ship flying the flag OF any OF
the allies. AS such ships are
leaving almost every day, the date
of the Eitel's possible departure
Is indefinite under any circum-
stances.
Close scrutiny still was being
kept today on the German ship by
American military forces and the
battleship Alabama stood guard
In Hampton Roads. Reports that
German warships may have escap-
ed from European waters to come
to the relief of the Eitel were re-
vived today by the report from
Madrid that the Hamburg-Amed-
2can steamer Macedonia had evad-
ed British cruisers, and was max
ing for South American waters
with supplies for German war
ships.
Allied warships reported of the
Virginia capes today were the SUI
folk, Berwick, Caronia and q
French vessel, name unknown.
Maritime men say they are lying
on both sides of the channel and
about ten miles of by day and four
miles by night.

Cattle Epidemic
is Stamped Out.
Loss Very Great

Washington, d. c., April q
Though confident that the foot
and mouth disease which has
been epidemic among the live
stock of the country for the
last six months virtually has
been wiped out, department of
agriculture officials declared to-
day that they would not relax
their efforts to prevent future
recurrence of the scourge. All
the infected animals are said to
have been killed and buried but
officials are not sure that all
possible means of conveying
the infection have been de-
stroyed. For this reason, it is
expected that there will be
other sporadic cases of the
disease, yet it Is asserted that If
preventive measures are
promptly resorted to there
need be no fear of further seri-
GUS spread Of the malady.
Altogether more than 124,00O
animals have been killed be-
cause of the epidemic at cost
of between $5,O0O,OOO and
$6,000,000, the expense of
which has been shared equally
by the federal and state govern
meats.
