WHAT CAN GERMANY
SAY?

I'm the Sussex note denying
LII that the Sussex was sunk
by a German submarine,
the imperial government made
this patronizing request:
Should the American
government have at its
disposal further material
for a conclusion upon the
case of the Sussex, the
German governm ent
would ask that it be COM
municated, in order to
subject this material also
ton an investigation.
The material" has been
communicated to Berlin. 1t
consists of legal proof "that the
Sussex was torpedoed without
warning or summons to sur
render and that the torpedo
by which she was struck was
of German manufacture"
The German government can
take either horn Of the dilem-
ma it pleases. If it acquits it.
self of deliberate and calcu-
lated falsehood, it must convict
the submarine commander of

imperial government has been
unable to put any limits or re-
straints upon its warfare

JOHN MILLER ACQUITTED
OF CHARGE OF FORGERY
JURY OUT ABOUT TWO HOURS
RETURNS VERDICT OF
NOT GUILTY.

John Miller was yesterday afternoon
found not guilty of the charge of ut
tering a forged check. The jury was
out about two hours before an agree
ment was reached. Miller was at
once discharged from custody.
The young man on the stand de-
clared he had worked for H. NJ. Han
son and still had $3.50 coming for his
services. He declared the check in
question was given him by Hanson
last December and that he at once
sent it to the American National
Bank. He denied having written any
thing on it except his endorsement.
He had several witnesses who tes-
titled that the reputation Of Hanson
for truth and veracity was not good,
and his attorney maintained that
Hanson had given the check and then
declared it a forgery in order that the
money could not be secured on it.

WASHINGTON, July An appeal to the government and to the people of the United States and Mexico to do everything possible to avoid war was issued last night by a joint com mittee of officials of organized labor in the two countries, which has been in session here at Headquarters of the American Federation of Labor It is suggested that a commission of Mexicans and Americans be appointed to adjust existing differences, which are declared due to ''misunderstand- ing, growing out of inadequate or in correct information. ,"
 The labor leaders announced that while they hoped to hold another conference at which the workers of the two countries should be more generally represented, they had de- cided to postpone it until the pres ent crisis had passed. The appeal was signed by President Samuel Gompers, Secretary Frank Morrison, Treasurer John B. Lennon and the eight vice presidents of the Ameri- can Federation, and by c. Loveria, Baltazar Pages, D. N. Morrones, s. G. Gonzalo, Garcia and Edmundo E. Martinez, for the organized work CTS of Mexico"

 As far as the town of Jerome is con- cerned, the only immediate result will be the construction of the new Unit ed Verde hospital on Clark street, just south of the Hull residence, instead of on main street.
 Within few days the old Hull barn and warehouse will be torn down to make room for the hospital. The Hull residence, one of the land marks of Jerome, probably will be allowed to stand for some time.

 It has been currently reported that the United Verde would take over a controlling interest in the Hull cor porations as soon as the pending liti- gation was terminated. It is now un- derstood on good authority, however, that the Hull shares will shorty be transferred to Charles W. Clark in his capacity as trustee. He will then become the controlling stockholder and will replace MT. Hull in the liti- gation. When the litigation is clos ed the Hull, Cleopatra, Consolidated King and Columbia, all now idle, will be financed independently of the big company. Their final transfer to the U.
