s.! IN SEATTLE
John Hildebrandt, Paroled
Prisoner, Shot in Pistol
Duel with Officer

Seattle, WASH. Sept. 6.-For several
weeks the police here have been receiv-
ing reports from persons robbed on the
streets by one-armed man.
The search of detectives and patrol
men ended last night when John Hide
brandt, paroled criminal whose right
hand is amputated at the wrist, and his
boy partner, Walter Healy, were shot
down in tie street after a hold-up, by
Motorcycle Officer M. s. Arbogast, who
was HIMSELF wounded in the wrist by a
bullet fired by the older man Of the
pair. Hildebrandt admitted his identity
while the city physicians examined the
location of the bullet in his spinal
column which they say probably will
prove fatal.

prisonment in 1904 after he and Gid
White, later. hanged for the crime, had
killed Matthew Murphy while robbing
the Conway saloon here.

THINK OPEN DOOR
POLICY IN DANGER
Japan's Demands On China If
Conceded May Prove
Dangerous

Washington, Sept. Enquiries will
be made Immediately by Ambassador
Guthrie at Toxic and Minister Rcinseh
at Peking, regarding Japan s new de-
mands on China, the state department
announced today. The published de-
mands, although they have not reached
the state department officially are con-
firmed by private advices to officials.
The only one of the demands which
may possibly interfere with American
interests, it is said, is that requiring
Japanese police powers in inner Mon
golia and Southern Manchuria. The
extent Of these powers will determine
whether or not the United States will
be affected
Commenting on the latest develop
ments in japanese relations with China,
caginet official said:
fThe only thing which greatly in
terests the United States in this situa-
tion is whether or met this country :
trade rights are to be jeopardized
Japan has repeatedly given us assur-
ances that no matter what attitude or
action or negotiations she took or car
ried on with China, there would be no
interference with the open door in any
policy"

Germans LosinR Spirit.

Paris, Sept. 6.-Repeated German at.
tacks against the newly won French
positions south of the Somme were brok-
en- up by French barrage fire last night,
it was officially announced today.
The German assaults reached their
greatest violence at Deniecourt and
Berny North of the Somme
the Germans made no counter attack
during the night but artillery was ac-
tive on all points.
The lack of spirit displayed by the
Germans in counter attacks of the last
two days offers evidence, according to
French military men, of the severe
shock to the German morale of the Ang-
Io-French victories in this week s
fighting on the Somme.
The second anniversary of the begin
Mug of the battle of the Marne which
turned the German tide from the gates
of Paris was celebrated here today
while Paris took stock of the new sue
cesses on the Somme. The principal
celebration, however, will be held next
Sunday.

Danger Of Being Forced
Into Military Service

Word has been sent to the State La
Dor Commission o. z. Hoff, that 30,.
900 farm hands are wanted in western
Canada TO harvest the immense crop
there, and that So day and board are
paid. The Canadian government
through its agents is offering low rail
road rates from all boundary points,

there is no conscription and absolute.
ly no military interference. The points
where labor infgormation is furnished
are Winnipeg, Regina, North Portla,
Fl. Frances. Kings Gate, b.
c.; Coutts. Calgary, Alberta.
Chicago experts have estimated that
the entire wheat crop of the northwest
will be less than half crop. Farm
hands who left Oregon to work in the
wheat harvest of Minnesota have sent
word ia the commissioner of labor of
Oregon. that while wages are good
there, the crop is short. That thousands
of acres in Minnesota will not yield
over l2 bushels to the acre. That there
are fields that will not pay for the
harvesting. The commissioner is also
the recipient Of Broomhall's estimate
for the year ending August !, 1917, in
which he says that the import demand
for wheat in Europe by countries ac'
cessible to the United States will reach
592, ,000, 900 bushels, but should the wal
end before that time the demand will be
$4,000, 900 bushels.

SHARP CONFLICT
|. EXPECTED TO CONE
OVER RETALIATION
Administration Will Hit Back
at Every Act Of Dis
elimination
COMMERCIAL REPRISALS
STRONGLY HINTED AT
LAW Places Weapons In Pres
ident's Hands with which
to Strike

Washington, Sept GA sharp diplo.
matte conflict between the allied gov
ernments and the United States is ex-
pected to follow retaliatory measures
incorporated in the revenue bill passed
by the senate late last night. With
agreement to the amendments by the
house conference committee anticipated
today, it is thought the allied govern
ments probably led by Great Britain,
mays begin shaping counter retaliations.
The belief of many officials, how
ever, is that the conflict will be strict
ly commercial.
1t was said on the other hand that
the United States government is going
into the Issue with Its eyes open and
prepared to see it through. The course
decided on-legislation that hits direct.
ly back at every discrimination pro-
nounced against American business in
terests-grew out of thorough considera.
tion by the state department and other
executive departments of the probable
consequences. it was declared today.
1t is the hope of the administration,
one official said, that the drastic legis.
lation enacted may result in putting an
end to the blacklisting policy of the
British government, the discrimination
against American commerce., interfer.
ence with American mails and embar.
goes on American products.
While diplomats representing allied
governments here have strongly limited
at commercial "reprisals, officials are
inclined to view that such a contest is
not wanted. This country, they believe
holds the upper hand for the present at
least, and would undoubtedly be bet
ter able to endure condition of non
intercourse.
The effect Of the new legislation will
depend in large part on the degree to
which President Wilson chooses to util
ize it. Heretofore he has been without
weapons with which to strike back
against alleged unfair trade practices
Once the new measures are law he will
have very definite powers--the employ.
ment of the land and naval forces being
specifically authorized for enforcement
of the provisions of the revenue act
amendments.
The president is permitted to carry
forward the retaliatory measure until
reciprocal liberty of commerce and
equal facilities of trade have been re.
stored

His Career

New York, Sept. 6.-Groping for a
clue to the identity of two masked
men who shot and killed Attorney
Dwight Dilworth as he sat in an auto
mobile with young woman companion
in VanCortIandt Park Sunday night, the
police had detained and were question
ing three men today.
Bernard Decio, aged 81, was arrested

der. Tony Garina was arrested in Mt.

George Teyden, who was with Gadina
at the time of his arrest, is also held.
Stories began to come to light today
of Dilworth s life on Broadway. The
police were told he had wide acquaint-
ance in theatrical circles. They were
also told of Dilworth Is fondness for
women, which ended in his forced with.
drawal from a firm here. Whether
some enemy made in his Bohemian life
was responsible for his death is new
angle being investigated by the police
while the clue that he was victim of
blackmaiers is still being run down.
