COUNTY SUED FOR EXPENSES
Former Co.-Attorney Files Claim for
a Period of Six Years.

Davenport, Feb "a claim for ST.
1880 has been filed against Scott
county by Fred Vollmer, former
county attorney, and was presented
to the board of supervisors at the
meeting yesterday afternoon. The
claim is for Office rent, and telephone
and light bills for a period of six
years, while Mr. Eollmer was county
attorney. According to the claim the
county is compelled to pay the office
rent and incidental expenses OF the
county attorney.
When the state examiners went
over the books OF the county officials
several months ago they held that
Mr.. Vollmer was indebted to the
county for $3.50. This they claimed
was for commissions on bonds, which
the former county attorney had col
lected The examiners, however,
only covered a period of four years,
while Mr.. Vollmer, in his claims, asks
that the county pay him his expenses
for six years.

.LUS|TAN|A CASE
IS NEAR THE END
PROVISIONAL ACCEPTANCE OF
GERMAN NOTE cABLED.
DANGEROUS CONTROVERSY ENDS
Immediate Cause for Satisfactory
Trend is the Gable Message from
Col. House which the Presi-
dent Received at st. Louis.

Washington, Feb. 9.-Berlin today
received by cable Americas provis
ional acceptance Of Germany's last
account on the Lusitania.
Americas acceptance will be made
complete when the German foreign
Office substitutes a formal note for
the informal memoranda presented by
the German ambassador. The inform
al memoranda which President Viii
son agreed would be acceptable on
the matter although not being a form,
al note, is held to concede practically
every demand of the United States.
1t is regarded in effect of transmits
sion as a disavowal of the sinking OF
the vessel and what President Wilson
considers greater diplomatic prece
denCe their basis for international law
regarding submarine warfare.
The immediate cause for satisfac-
tory trend of the dangerous contro.
versy which has lasted nine long
months, is the cable message from
Colonel House, President Wilson's
confidential envoy. While the contents
of Houses message will never be
made public, ii is understood that ii
emphasized the conditions he found
in Germany. They were:
The Berlin government was not in
structed at the time Of the forwarding
of the memoranda to the German am
bassador that it was making final con
cessions in the Lusitania case.
That the severance of diplomatic
relations between Germany and the
United States would eventually result
in war.
Col. Houses cablegram actually
reached the President while he was
in ST. Louis. 1t was in code and was
not de-coded until the President re
turned to Washington Friday.
Coincident with the delivering to
the President the House cablegram, he
was handed a communication from
Ambassador Gerard regarding the
latter's knowledge of Berlin's last
word. Gerrard's report, it is said, was
Uessimistic as to the outcome in event
that the President did not accept the
German Ambassadors memoranda.
The President is said to have been
81 eatly impressed by Gerrard's com
municatiOn.
