Indianapolis, Jan. 24-The United
Mine Workers unanimously adopted a
resolution opposing the appointment of
former President William H. Taft as
a member Of the supreme court of the
United States on the ground that his
appointment would be regarded as an
"unfriendly act toward the toiling
masses of America" The resolution
stated that Mr.. Taft as federal Judge
enlarged the scope of the injunctive
process in labor disputes and that as
President and recently through public
utterances. he has shown his unsym-
pathetic attitude toward labor and his
opposition to a realization by them of
thelr ideals, hopes and aspirations"

Germany Submits
....- New LuSitania Note
Won Bernstorff Understood to Have Dr. aft ed
Latest Document Viii oh Is Expected to End
Controversy

Consideration Of public opinion in
this country and in Germany was said
to have played an important part in
the drafting of the document. 1t has
been pointed out that German public
opinion would look with approval upon
form Of settlement which in any
way admitted that. regardless of the
Americans involved, the torpedoing OF
the Lusitania was an improper act
and which might reflect upon the COM
mander of the submarine, who was
acting under instructions which since
have been modified. In view of this,
it is understood that Germany may
admit in the final settlement that 1t
was wrong that Americans should
have been lost without conceding that
it was wrong for the commander to
fire a torpedo at the liner. In this con-
nection attention was called tonlght
to the fact that Germany hardly could
agree to pay an indemnity for killing
American citizens should it be con-
sidered that the act was within the
law.
The German government is under
stood to be most anxious to settle the
matter in manner mutually salts
factory 1t is said, however. that the
proposal now before the administra-
ton is considered to be final. Ger
many is said TO hold that she has gone
as far as she possibly can honorably
to meet the views OF the United States.
The negotiations are treated as
highly confidential in official and dip
lomatic circles. For that reason it has
not been disclosed just how FAR the
new proposal would go toward finally
settling the controversy. An optimistic
feeling seems to prevail, however.
Count Won Bernstorff. is understood
to have personally drafted the pro-
rosal now under consideration. Fl" mas

y hich he has allowed him by his gov
eminent, submitting TO Berlin 1ron
time to time the more important ques-
tions involved. After his last proposal
was rejected he is said to have asked

ment all matter Objectionable to the

RECONSTRUCTION

VALLEY BEGUN

Yuma, Ariz., Jan. 24.-Floods caused
by the breaking OF the government le-
wees Of the Colorado river Saturday
receded today and citizens of Yuma
and the Yuma valley began planning
reconstruction work.
The Colorado river had receded to
the 22-foot stage tonight and it was
thought that the flood would be nor
NAL by tomorrow.
Reports from the Imperial valley in
California indicated that the Colorado
was falling there and it was believed
there was no likelihood Of damage to
the irrigation project in that section.
Two hundred starving refugees
were found today by a rescue party
which went to the Bard Indian reser-

Washington, Jan. N.-Germany has sub
mitted to the United States, through Am
bassador Won Bernstorff, another writ
tent proposal designed to bring about
settlement Of the controversy over the
sinking of the steamship Lusitania with
a loss of more than 100 American lives.
There were indications tonight that the
document might bring to a satisfactory
termination negotiations which have been
III progress for eight months.
Although the greatest secrecy surrounds
the negotiations, it was stated tonight
on excellent authorities that Germany
had finally agreed to eliminate from the
text of the argument any mention Of the
warning issued by the German embassy
the day the Lusitania sailed on her last
trip from New York. Mention of this
warning is understood to have been con-
tanned in the last proposal. which was
rejected after President Wilson had con-
sidered it. 1t is understood also that
Germany has left out her proposed gen.
eral reservation of admission of wrong
doing on the part of the submarine COM
mander. to which the United States OBJ
jected.
Mention OF the warning is believed to
have been most Objectionable to the adj
ministration. In effect it was regarded
as conveying the idea that no American
lives would have been lost had the warn
ing been needed.
1t was also stated authoritatively that
in it's latest communication Germany
makes some reference to a desire to see
the United States take action in regard
to the questions involving the freedom
of the seas.
Germany reiterates clearly, it is said.
that the torpedoing of the Lusitana was
an act of reprisal for the British block
ade Of the German coast. Extreme re-
rret again is expressed that Americans
lost their lives in the commission OF the
reprisal and Germany freely offers repa-
ration in the form Of indemnity. The at
tention of the United States is called to
the fact that such forms of reprisals
have been discontinued as the result of
negotiations with the government and 70
the fact that broad assurances for the
future have been given.
Al, discussions considered superflu
Gus have been stricken from the pro-
Tosai.

BERLIN PAPERS
DISCUSS REPORT
PEACE MOVE RUSE

Berlin, via London, Jan. 24.-Most of
the Berlin newspapers discuss editorial
ly this morning the report that the Mon
tenegro peace move was merely ruse
to obtain time to improve the military
position. These reports have been re-
ceiVed from Italian sources and the
newspapers without exception refuse to
give credence to, them. 1t is pointed out
that while undue Importance should not
be attached to the elimination of Monte
negro from the list of opponents of the
Teutonic Allies, still, as matter of fact,
official reports from Vienna affirm that
not only the Montenegro soldiers, but
also the Serbian troops in the west are
rapidly being disarmed, and the Berlin
newspapers regard the kingdom of Mon
tenegro as having been conquered.
