to Erect FireprOOf Three
Story Building
FRONTAGE so FEET
ON MAIN STREET
Line Runs Back 125 Feet, Just South
of Hooker Residence-New Owners
Will Move Dry Goods Business to
Lower Floor

Negotiations were completed today
whereby Houghton & Simonds, the
we'll known dry goods firm, Will become
owners of the corner lot on the Hook
er property at the junction of Main
and High streets.
The lot contains room for a building
approximately 20 feet on Main street
and 125 feet on High street. The line
is just south of the Hooker residence.
Houghton & Simonds who now oc-
cupv the corner store in the Hooker
building on the opposite side of Main
street, intend to erect a thoroughly
modern fireproof building on the new
ly acquired property. They have not
completed plans for a building, but
they have in contemplation a three
story structure, the first floor for their
own occupancy and the second and
third floors for offices and apartments.
The lay of the land is especially suit
ed for q corner entrance to such
building.
The purchase was made of John B.
Manley, who recently bought the en-
tire Hooker property. Mr.. Manley
plans to erect large garage on the
rear part of the land, and after selling
the corner lot to Houghton & Simonds
he still has left the residence and land
in front of it and north to the First
Baptist church.
+. The building which Houghton & ST.
monds contemplate putting up will have
unobstructed light on the east, south
and west sides and will be one of the
finest store buildings in town, enabling
them to arrange and display goods to
particularly good advantage.

1t Is Understood That State
ment Regarding Sussex
Is Unsatisfactory
u. S. MAY DEMAND
IMMEDIATE ACTION
Nothing Less Than Germany's Evi
dence of Good Faith to Fulfill As
surance Can Prevent Serious Comph-
cations.

WASHINGTON, April Is. = The Ger
man note on the Sussex and other sub
marine eases has been received at the
state department and was being de
coded today. It probably will be laid
before President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing before night.
The affidavits from Paris and Lon
don, expected today on the liner st.
Paul, will be considered in connection
with the German note and the informa-
tion regarding attacks on merchant YES
sells since the Lusitania disaster is ex-
pected to be completed III time to go
to Berlin within the next week.
While the entire plans of the admins
tration are not being disclosed it is un-
derstood that nothing less than evidence
of Germany good faith to fulfill as
surances she has given the United
States, such as possibly substantial pun
/ ishment of the submarine commander
who torpedoed the Sussex, can prevent
the situation between the countries
/ from coming to a pass which diplomats
/ nave StIuSSieu Ioi IIc PsiSt year ~
avoid.
The use of the word ultimatum is dis
couraged by officials, stin it was said
the effect of the communication would
be to call for prompt action.
In view of the conclusive nature of
ported the state department officials
cannot see how Germany can continue
to deny responsibility for the destruc-
tion of the ship.

WANTS AMERICAN
FORCE WITHDRAWN
Carranza Urges That Pursuit of Villa Be Left to the
Mexican ConstitutionaIist Army Officials inI
Washington Say Chase viii Be Continued with
Renewed Vigor

MEXICO, City, April 13.-The Mexi-
can government has sent to its embas-
sador in Washington note to be de-
livercd today to Secretary Lansing ask
Ing that the American troops be with
drawn from Mexican territory and the
pursuit Of Villa left to the Mexican
Constitutionalist army. The Mexican
note contained about 5000 words. In
it the de facto government of Mexico
contends that as the American troops
crossed into Mexico without permission
they should be withdrawn until a prop
er formal compact can be entered into
between the two governments.
1t is insistently affirmed that the
previous note Of the Mexican govern
ment especially emphaaized the fact
that permission for reciprocal crossing
of the frontier would be granted only
in the event of the repetition of a
raid similar to that made by Villa at
Columbus, New Mexico.
The note was sent to Elieio Are
dondo, the Carranza representative III
Washington, with instructions for its
delivery TO Secretary Lansing $50 end
ing negotiations for a reciprocal pass
ing of troops and acting for disco
cupation of the territory occupied by
American troops, in view of Villa S
party having been destroyed
Throughout the note emphasis was
laid on the fact that the American eX
petition was undertaken under mis-
understanding. Although acting in
good faith the declaration is made
that the United States had interpreted
the first note of the de facto govern
ment as effeeting a definite agreement
between the two nations.

 THREE MONTHS

AUCKLAND, N. Z., Sept 15. - Max imiIlan Ballin, the brother of the great German shipping magnate who is president of the Hamburg American Line, has been sent to jail for three months at his own request. "Maximil- Ian Ballin," says the Auckland News, has been in New Zealand for many years. He worked as a boOkkeeper and received remittances from his brother. After the outbreak of the war the remittance money stopped, and being a foreigner, he could not get the class of work he was capable of doing. He gradually drifted, be came i'll, and after being unemployed for a considerable time, he went to the police station and asked to be arrested. The court said the sen tence was not punishment but char ity to a man who was helpless to look after himself in the community.
