SET FOR OPENING OF B|G FAR
DECORATION OF CITY TO BEGIN TODAY; A LARGE CROWD EXPECTED HERE FOR CELEBRATION.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

With the finishing touches to the fair grounds, the final meeting of the officials scheduled for tonight and ex- hibits and entries pouring in from all over the country, the Northern Ari- zona Fair, to be held the last three days of this week, promises to be the most successful undertaking of its kind that has ever been attempted by the citizens of this city. The low rates on the railroads and the perfect condition of the roads are expected to attract the largest crowd that has ever attended a local fair.
 The decoration of the streets and fair grounds will be commenced to- day and it is the earnest wish of the committee that all of the merchants assist as much as possible by making their windows attractive. The official fair colOrs are purple and gold and these colors will predominate at the fair grounds.
 Under the auspices or the Grand Lodge of the Free and Accepted Ma sons of Arizona, Judge F. w. Perkins, officiating, the laying of the corner stone of the new court house will be held Thursday morning at 10 o'clock and will mark the opening of the fair Masons from all over the county will be in attendance at thIs ceremony.
 One of the features of the fair will be Redewill's 20-piece band from Phoenix. This band is known through out the State and is classed as one of the best in the country.
 For the first time in the history of the fair the Santa Fe railroad will have an exhibit on the grounds. This will be under the supervision of W. H. Hoover and all matters pertaining to transportation will be explained at the booth. IL will also serve as a rest room.
 Representative of the various de- partments will be in the Chamber of Commerce during the last two days before the opening of the fair and up until noon Thursday, for the purpose of taking care of the late entries.

STRIKE SHOWS SIGNS
 OF ENDING
SKILLED WORKMEN WHO WENT OUT A c AIN s T THEIR WISHES, MAY GO BACK TO THEIR JOBS.

BAYONNE, \. l., Oct 16-A crisis in the strike of l5000 workers in the oil plants and other manufactures at Constable Hook was reached today when the Tidewater Oil Company opened its doors and invited the strikers to return to work.
 \ meeting of the 5000 skilled work CTS, who claimed they were forced to join the strike against their desire, was held this morning. The men planned to march back to the plant of the Standard Oil Company in a body, in the belief that their action would break the strike.
 Another meeting of those who have taken a most active part in the strike was held to decide whether it should be declared off.
 Settlement of the strike here was deferred at a meeting of the strikers today
 A committee, which will report back to the men, was appointed to discuss with officers of the companies a plan to have the strikers return un- der a promise of better working con ditions.
 It was indicated that the men might abandon their demands for better wages.

LYNCH NEGROES WHO ASSAULT
 A WOMAN
MOB HANGS AND BURNS 2 M FEN CHARGED WITH ATTACKING WIFE OF RAILROAD EMPLOYE.
By Associated Press.

PADUCAH, Ky, Oct. 16.-The au- thoritieS are prepared for further
 trouble tonight following the lynching and burning of two negroes today. The saloons were ordered to remain closed and extra peace officers depu- tized.
 It is feared that the summary ex- ecution of the negroes, one of whom was charged with attacking the wife of railroad employe, and the other alleged to have lauded the act, might whet the lust for blood among the railroad employees and associates of the woman's husband.
 Followed by a crowd, estimated at COCO persons, large part of them in automobiles, the negroes were taken to the home of the woman, about two miles away.
 While one of them was presented to her for identification. the other was taken to a tree, a rope thrown over a limb, his neck encircles in a moose and an automobile hitched to the other end.
 As soon as the other negro had been identified as the assailant of the wom- an, he was led to the same tree and the process repeated.
 After assuring themselves that both negroes were dead, the members of the mob lowered the bodies and burn ed them on blazing pile of brush.
 The lynchings came after five hours of labor to enter the cells in the jail and were the outcome of an attack made Friday upon Mrs. George Rose at her home in the suburbs.
 The mob gathered ssout / o'clock today after hearing that the police had arrested Brack Finley, a negro about 5 years old, who answered to the description of Mrs. Roses assail- ant
 The mob demanded the prisoner and brushed aside the police reserves who had been sent to the scene. They battered down the jail door but found that the prisoners had been locked in steel cells.
 Failing to find the keys. they sent for a foundryman to cut the bars to Finley's cell Shortly before noon, he had made an opening sufficient to en- able the negro to emerge. The march to Mrs. Roses home was begun and, on the way, Asa Thornhill, about 20 years old, who. 1t had been reported, had lauded Finley's attack, was seized. The cavalcade, when it reached the Rose home had grown to several thousand.
 While Finley was being identified. the leaders of the mob resolved to hang Thornhill. Pleading for his life the boy was bound and executed. In a few minutes 1t was announced that Mrs Rose had satisfied herself of the identity of Finley. He was hanged to the same tree and number of shots fired into his body.
 Quietly the mob gathered a quan- tity of wood, built fire and placed the bodies of both negroes upon it. The mob and spectators then dis Dcrsed.

Norway, Holland
 And Spain HaUe
 GrieUances That
 Must be Remedied
NEUTRAL TRADE INJURED
 BY ACTION OF GERMAN SUBMARINES; NIT E D STATES ELIMINATED FROM PRESENT CONTRO- VERSY, DECLARES UNDER
 SECRETARY AT BERLIN.

BERLIN. Oct. l6.-Norway. Hol- land and Spain arc now playing the leading parts in Gcrmany'S interna- tional submarine problem, to the sub- ordination of the United States. which so long and so often has held the center of the stage.
 The Associated Press correspond ent discussed the present situation to- day with Dr. Alfred Zimmerman, un- der secretary for foreign affairs, who indicated that the tables had been cleared and that no negotiations were in progress as far as the United States was concerned. He outlined develop mentS regarding other neutrals.
 The case of Holland is simplest. IL concerns only the Bloomersdijk, which was sunk off the New England coast by the German submarine U-53. Germany is unwilling to accept the cabled version of the circumstances under which the Bloomersdijk sunk and is convinced the submarine com- mander must have kept within the German prize regulations as strictly enjoined. Full compensation has been offered in event the commander exceeded his instructions.
 Spain'S grievances have to do with the sinking of fruit steamers. Strictly speaking, these are valid prizes, be- cause the cargo Is contraband bound for hostile ports. The Spanish gov ernment, however, has pointed out that the prosperity of the country, arJ ,,,,t;c,,IorI,r of tIa ryra.+ c1aee oE small fruit raisers, has been affected seriously by Interruptions of this trade, and Germany has offered to let such ships pass unmolested ii they are provided with proper certificates from German consuls and if the En- tente Allies permit similar cargoes, ship for ship to pass for the German market.
 No reply has been received.
 The Norwegian measures barring submarines from Norwegian waters, in accordance with the British mem- orandum, is regarded as incompatible with Norwegian neutrality No cx- haustive report on the legal aspects of the question has as yet reached pr. hands, but the under secretary said the matter undoubted- ly would be the subject of strong protest to Norway.
 Dr. Zimmerman spoke with high satisfaction of the terms of Americas reply to the memorandum of the En- tente Allies on the treatment of sub marines. He declared it was marked by true spirit of neutrality.
 The appearance and activity of German submarine off the American coast had not been made the subject of diplomatic negotiations or com plications, he continued, and all re- ports indicated that the German com mander had observed in every way the letter and spirit of Germany's un- dertakings with the United States.

LEADERS MUST SERVE
 SENTENCES

WASHINGTON. Oct l6-The Su- preme court today refused to review the convictions of four labor leaders in the West Virginia coal strike, who were sentenced to six months i'm prisonment for contempt of court, in failing to obey an injunction issued by a Federal district judge.
 The cases mentioned are another outcrop of litigation in connection with Judge Dayton's decree that the United Mine Workers was an unlaw- ful conspiracy in its organization and operation.
 The defendants, Fannie Sullens. F. Lcdvinka, James Oates and Hiram Stephens, were members of the union and were found guilty of melting min CTS to strike or refuse employment.
 Their conviction was affirmed by the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals on the theory that Judge Dayton's decree against the United Mine Workers was valid
