WILL RETURN PAPERS
 TAKEN FROM VON IGEL
U. s. Will Surrender Those Bernstorff Identifies
 As Official.

Washington, April 21.-The state and justice departments announced today the governments willingness to return to the German embassy all the papers seized in New York with the arrest of Wolf Won Igel, which Count von Bernstorff will identify as official Photographs of the seized documents have been made and will be retained. Count von Bernstorff protested vigor- ously against the taking of the pa pers and 1t was said at the state de- partm ent that Secretary Lansing was considering the necessity of an official apology.
 Should the ambassador assert that all the documents are official it is uh- derstoOd that they will all be returned to him, but it was said to be the pres ent intention to keep photographic copies.
 Officials were interested today in learning if Count von Bernstorff would declare any documents to be the prop erty of the German embassy. The pa pers were said to disclose several sub- jects of an unusual nature which had not before come to the attention of this government. Definite connection with the German embassy would be confirmed. it was believed, by a decla- ration that the documents are official.
 Whether Secretary Lansing would send a note to Am baSsador BernStorff expressing regret for the seizure was not announced, but such action is be- lieved probable.

UNABLE TO STAND
 SHOCK OF ACCIDENT
Willimantic Man, Run Down by Auto, Dies of Injuries and Driver is
 Held by Police.

Willimantic, April 21.-Robert Pickett, aged 55, who was struck and apparently not badly hurt yesterday by a passenger carrying automobile died at St. Joseph's hospital today. Joseph Hochberg, aged 20, the vehicle driver, was before the police court on the charge of reckless driving, and a. hearing was set for Monday with bonds fixed at S2,5OO, which were fur nished.
 From statements made by eye-wit- nesses 1t appears that Pickett started to cross Main street upon signal of the traffic officer. Hochberg appeared to lose control of his machine just at that moment and headed towards Pickett who was seized in a protect i've way by the officer. The latter es- capped unharmed but Pickett was bruised. He had been in poor health of late and the shock of the collision proved too much for him to with stand.

LIGHTNING WIPES OUT

Westerly, R. l., April 21.-Light- ming and fire destroyed the principal industries of the town of Canonchet, near here, early today, causing a loss estimated at $75,000. A storm during which the lightning struck, swept over much of the southern part of the state, severing wires so wide ly that number of points were still cut off from this means of communi- cation some hours later. It was be- lieved, however, that the greatest damage was at Canonchet.
 The Union Line and Twine Com pany, and the Canonchet Line and Twine Company mills were burned after lightning struck the latter plant. Damaged and set on fire by another bolt the cotton mill of Lafay- cite l.. Edwards escaped destruction because of its stone and cement con- struction.
 The house of Oscar Edwards was also completely wrecked. although it was not set afire. No deaths were reported.

GARRISON AT JUAREZ COOL
General Gavira Repeats Assurances That Leaders Are Not Hostile to American CoIumn-Seven Bandits Convicted of Raid On Columbus,

Fl Paso Tex, April 21.-With the troops marking time awaiting the decision from Washington which will either Withdraw them from Mexico or send them forward reinforced on their quest for Villa and his bandits, there has been a decided increase in the nervousness which has existed on the border since the expedition crossed the international line. Both Mexican and American army officers and officials admit that the uncertainty has caused delicate situation, but there has not been the slightest indication in Juarez that the Mexicans in that town have changed their attitude of restraint. General Gavira renewed today his re- peated statements that the Carranza leaders had no hostile intentions to- ward the American columns, although they felt that the time had come for the recall of the expedition.
 No news has been received in Jua- reg regarding the part played by Gen. eral Hazavos and Colonel Carlos Car ranza which set out last Sunday to search for the supposed grave of Villa. ....

Washington, April 21-State de- partment officials were preparing to- day to make representations to Great Britain to insure the safe arrival in the United States of 1000 tons of dyestuffs from Germany.

 The concession made by Germany resulted from a long series of neSo- tiations between the two countries.

 ACTIVITIES DURING CRISIS
RUSH PREPAREDNESS
 AT CHARLESTOWN YARD
Thirty War Vessels to Be Prepared for Sea at
 Once.

Boston, April 21-Seven thousand bluejackets at the Charlestown Navy yard were put into overalls today for the purpose of making the thirty war vessels in the harbor ready for sea at the earliest possible hour. It was authoritatively stated that virtually every ship would be at the top-notch of efficiency in fifteen days.
 The enlisted men are being employ ed because of the difficulty in ob- taining a sufficient force of civilian mechanics. Half of the seven thou sand had been recalled from fur loughs and shore leaves.
 Tt is a measure of preparedness it was officially explained, "the ne- cessity of which was increased by the fact that we have been handi- capped for months by shortage of civilian workmen and material. If we are to make these ships ready for sea at an early notice, repairs must be completed soon and it was found that the only way to accomplish this was to put the bluejackets to work
 "The navy department has furnish ed us with the money, but we have been unable to obtain the workmen and supplies. Most of the ships here could be put to sea at once, but in fifteen days practically every one will be at her top stage of efficiency"
 The vessels being overhauled in clude six battleships with a total of about 5000 officers and men; ten torpedo boat destroyers, three scout cruisers, one submarine and auxiliary ships.
