Improvement Clubs

An editorial in Wednesday's APP
peal called the attention Of the read

tain ladies that neighborhood inn
Drovement clubs ought tc, be formed
in Carson having for their object the
cleaning of streets, repairing bridges
and culverts and rendering vacant
lots less unsightly in the immediate
neig}borhoods OF the members of the
different clubs.
SeveraIi ladies in ttt.. north side OF

such clubs were~formed. Interest the

These are the first words in the

We haven't any book printed in the

WASHINGTON, May 5.-Within
ten minutes after the final and vital
para graphs OF the German reply
reached Washington the cabinet met
i'll conference and agreed that Ger
many had granted the demands made
but there was some uncertainty be-
cause of the conditions that had been
imposed. The early sections Of the
rep'y reaching here caused some ap-
prehension that a. break was near, be-
cause OF the contentious, sarcastic
tone Then the latter part OF the note
suddenly changed in tone to flat state-
ments meeting practically all the
American demands, leaving the mem
bers of the cabinet confused. The
general disposition is to consider the
submarine issue practically closed for
the present Some officials believe
that Germany has again passed the
buck" to America, putting America
on probation by making the state
ment that the present difficulty is de-
pendent on Americas attitude to-
ward England. The rejection OF
Americas evidence in the Sussex
case astonisl3ed some officia S. The
cabinet will not act definitely until
the official text arrives, probably to-
morrow.

BERLIN, May 5.-That Germany
has yielded practically to every de-
mand that America made is indicated
in the text of the German reply as
published here. Concessions, how
ever are made conditional on the suc-
cess OF THE efforts it urges America to
make to force Eng g'and to observe
fully the principles OF international
law The reply fully comedies VIII
sons contention that hereafter no
merchantmen, whether freighters or
passengers or liners, shall be sunk
without warning unless they resist or
attempt to escape. Submarine COM
manders have already received the
new orders meeting these demands
and the government expresses i'm
p'icit confidence THAT these orders will
be executed in good faith. The feel
ing here is THAT the possibility OF a
break is averted.

HOPEFUL INDICATIONS
OF STRIKE SETTLEMENT

A dispatch of Wednesday says
ed definite plan for settlement of
the threatened railroad strike, which
he will submit tomorrow to the gen
eral committee of the $40 represen-
tatives of the employees and to the
managers committee.
The plan involves the acceptance
of basic eight-hour day, with reg
ular pay for overtime and an inves-
tigation by a commissioner of other
issues.
Judge w. l.. Chambers of the fed
eral board of mediation and concili-
alton laid before the president late
today figures on the costs of an eight
hour day, and then went to take up,
in tentative form with the managers,
the plan which will be placed before
| the employees committee tomorrow
The general committee of employ
ees will see the president at 8 O'Clock
| tomorrow afternoon and the manag
ers' committee will see him earlier
in the day in case there are any
questions concerning the plan pu
before them by Judge Chambers.
The president regards the plan h

with figures regarding the cost of al
eight-hour day to the railroads i

Guard Ed Golightly saw Barro4
climbing up the stone wall and call
ed to Bill Clark, the guard at post 4
to look out and at the same time
fired a shot over Barron's head to
scare him. The first shot attracted
the attention of all the guards and
in a very short space of time six
shots weer fired from different d.
rections, one Of which took effect.
Barron had by this time scaled the
wall and was on top holding on to
the wire fence, when one of the
strands broke and he toppled over
backwards, and falling over the wal
his body struck a shed, and FROM
there fell to the stone floor of thu

summoned from town and upon an
irving an examination was made 0t
Barrons wounds which showed that
one bullet had entered the right side
and passed nearly through the body
barely missing the spine, but cut
ting the liver, it is believed, to sucM
an extent that Maclean gave it as his
opinion that Barron could not live.
Barron is the convict who made
such murderous assault upon
Guard Dick Thomas and Convict
Lewis few weeks ago, and came
near killing both. A little over 4
year ago he made an attempt to eG~
cape and was shot in the leg. He
was convicted of killing two eMxi}
cans in Nye county about a. yea

and when she called up Mrs. Sands on
the telephone to bid her good-by and
wish her a pleasant journey, she added
the hope that she might see a good
deal of the doctor during their joint
stay.
Together Mrs. Sands and Billiard did
New York thoroughly.
Ten days or two weeks at the outside
he had set as the limit of his stay. but
again and again his departure was de-
layed by the necessity Of investigat-
ing some new method of hospital eff
cheney in vogue. At least that is what
he wrote to Esther, although, oddly
enough, he failed to mention that on
each of these occasions Mrs. Sands
had arranged some excursion or gay
event in which he was scheduled to
take part.
At last, though, he could defer his
return no longer. He had been away
from home now for two months and
the excuses for his continued absence
were getting worn threadbare.
The final evening Mrs. Sands and he
had chosen to spend together, away
from their usual associates and COM
panions, and after a delightful dinner
alone at one of the uptown hotels
they went to the opera.
Sylvia was undoubtedly at her best
that evening. On the way home she
had brought up the question of the
interior arrangement for the north pa
vilion of the proposed hospital-long
a source Of stubborn contention be-
tween them-and had rather intimated
that she was converted to his judg-
ment, an opening which gave the doc
tor an opportunity to dilate on one of
his pet theories.
He was still full tilt on it when the
limousine stopped in front Of her hand
some town house facing the park, and
as he had one or two points he still
wished to make clear to her he fol-
lowed her, almost as a matter OF
course, in at the door.
The butler laid out little supper Of
chicken and champagne and then with
drew at a word of direction from her.
"You need not wait up tonight, Rob-
erts," she said.
1t was all delightfully."- intimate and
informal and Billiard insensibly yield
ed himself to the spell Of the seclu-
sion of his surroundings. Doctor Bull
lard did most of the talking. Mrs.
Sands merely listened appreciatively
and wove the spell of her enchant-
ments as she lounged in heap of
cushions.
I'm too comfy to move" she said at
length. "Would you mind filling my
glass for me?"
Then as he leaned over to take her
empty glass the nearness of her af-
fected him like an intoxication, and
