Grihiths said that both Mrs. Stegler
and Steglcr himself had declared Ger

and other pecullarities resembled the
letters stcgler. 1t is alleged, had re-
ceived from Captain Boy-Ed, now in
the possession Of the United States

This thing is too ridiculous to
answer" Captain Boy Ed said "All
the letters that have gone out of this
Office have been addressed by my
stenographer, and suppose there must
be thousands of typewriters like the
ono she uses"
Captain Boy Ed strongly reiterated
his denial that he had had anything to
do with Stegler. other than to try to
help him get position.
Steglcr repeated to-day Grifnths said,

IN ABSOLUTE ACCORD AS
TO REPRISALS ON ENEMY

LONDON. February % GAO +. H.
France. Russia, England. Serbia and
Belgium are said by English officials
TO be i'm absolute accord as to reprisals
to be made on Germany, Austria and
Turkey in retaliation for the German
submarine campaign. England was in
conference with her allies concerning
rcprisals before the receipt of the last
American note making informal repre-
sentations looking To the discontinue
ance OF submarine activities, and to
the admission of food to Germany for
her civil population.
While it can be authoritativcly stated
that the nature of the reprisals has not
been agreed upon absolutely as yet,
England and her allies have decided
upon the main points, which probably
will be announced on Monday by Pre-
mier Asquith in n statement for the
press simultaneously, the position of
all the opponents of Germany toward
neutral countries whose trade is so
vitality affected by the present naval
methods. will be submitted t, the neu-
trail governments.
REFRAIN FROM PUBLICLY
DISCUSSING TERMS
American Ambassador Page and the
British Foreign Office have refrained
from publicly discussing the terms of
the American note, but the Foreign Of
fee has intinated that the probable
statement of Premier Asquith on Mon
day Will not be a direct answer to the
American note, but lopg-promised
calculation Of the intimatl made by
Sir Edward Grey, Secretary Of state
for Foreign Affairs. and the other Cab
met members. that reprisals against
Germany doubtless would be necessary
There is every reason to believe that
England fully intends to make all
foodstuffs for Germany absolute con-
traband, thus cutting OFF the movement
of ships to German ports and making
export trade by sea impossible.
Great interest is being shown by the
British press and tho public In the
probable treatment of cotton under the
new system OF reprisals. The belief
seems to be general that both cotton
and food will become absolute con-
traband. British officials are now per-
suaded. they state, that several ships,
which at first were reported as having
been destroyed by mines, were the VIC
Tins OF submarines.

MAYOR DOESN'T NEED
TO Be MIND READER
Commissioner Lynch Has Core
spondence Showing How Royal
Probably Forgot His Data

Not being mind readers and in
the absence of any report. it is
impossible for us to know what
the several superintendents have
in view for the coming spring and
summer in the way of improve
ments in their respective depart
ments.
Mayor John X. Royal thus intro
duced his so-called plan" for provid-
ing work for the hundreds of unem-
ployed at yesterdays session of Coun-
ell and followed 1t with no resolution
on any other specific action upon
which Council could do anything else
but formally receive and file" 1t.
The plan" was merely a reiteration
of the various improvement jobs. the
money that has been provided, con-
tracts let or yet to be let and the
balances in the various funds. Com
missioners Bowman, Lynch and Tay-
lor have known these things to have
been true for some time. in view of the
fact that they had mapped out all this
work. and are only waiting the first
break in the cold weather to proceed
with the jobs. Some correspondence
incident to the preparation of the So
called plan" of the Mayors had evil
IDENTIFY beer overlooked or forgotten In
the report, however. according to some
of the commissioners, for no reference
to 1t appeared.
Had Plenty of Information
In collecting the data for his plan
the Mayor wrote to Superintendent
Lynch and said. among other things.
Ordinance No 30, which provides for
the building of thirty-one sewers, be-
came a law March 10. 1914, almost a
year ago. Ten of the sewers authorized
by 1T have not yet been built" lie

ANNETTE KELLERMAN IN "NEP-
TUNES DAUGHTER" PHOTOPLAY
TODAY


There is scarcely a theatergoer to-
day who does not know of Annette
Kellerman. swimmer and diver. Many
have seen her I'm her diving acts, but
II remained for motion pictures to pre-
sent her not only in her chosen work,
but in a story that at the same time is
wierd, fantastic, spectacular and en-
tertaining. "Neptune's Daughter" gives
Miss Kellerman excellent opportuni-
ties to display her abilities not only as
a swimmer and diver. but in the ca
pacities or actress and dancer. Several
notable scenes in the film give her ex-
cellent opportunities to show these ca
pacities: once when she has been trans
formed into an earthly maiden from
her original state as a mermaid she
finds a spot where away from mortal
eyes she can dive to her hearts con-
tent. This at the same time fits into
the plot of the play and accords the
audience the chance to see Miss Kel-
lerman in the diving act that has made
her famous. "Neptune's Daughter is
an extravaganza of the screen. The
plot is well worked out and is at the
same time interesting to every audi
e ce.-Advertisement

Mayor Royals plan as submitted
to Council yesterday was dated Feb
ruary 16," said the superintendent OF
streets. In it he mentioned "the az,
sence of any report" He wrote me on
February IL and this is what | wrote
back:
The Dates That Prove It
I'm response to your letter of
inquiry of the 18th inst, herewith
| send you sheet which is a COPY
of the one which accompanied
my report to Council, made early
in the year. This blueprint shows
in detail all sewer work that was
done during year 1914, including
work done under ordinance No.
30, by the department of high
ways. You will see that over six
miles of sewers were built in that
year at cost of $67,506.70. The
year 1894 was a banner year for
sewer building, more miles of
sewers having been constructed in
that year than in any other year,
and the cost of the sewers was
only exceeded in one other year,
namely, the year in which the
Mish run conduit was built at a
large expense.
"Of the 80 sewers authorized
by ordinance No. 80, session of
1914-15, 81 have been completed,
four let and some of the remain
ing six will shortly be ready for
advertising.
And that letter was sent to the
Mayor" concluded Mr.. Lynch, "under
