PRESIDENT WILSON
TALKS To statesmen
Chief Magistrates Visit to De-
trOit Devoid Of Politics.

Detroit, July 10.-President Wilson,
accompanied by Mrs. Wilson and Sec
retary Redfeld, arrived by special
train at the Michigan Central station
to attend the first Worlds Salesman
ship congress, which was opened in
Detroit Sunday by number of lay
sermons in city pulpits.
The presidential party was met by
an immense crowd and was escorted
at once to Arcadia auditorium, where
the president made his address to the
delegates of the congrtss. At noon
President Wilson held reception to
the delegates in the lobby of the De-
troit Athletic club. This was follow.
ed by dinner in the club gymnasium,
to which 500 prominent citizens of the
city, irrespective of their political affili-
ations, were personally invited.
President Wilson left the club direct
for his train, which returned immedi
ately to Washington. The president
would under no circumstances deliver
a political speech. His reception here
was wholly nonpartisan in character.
Secretary Redfield remained in De
troit to address the delegates to the
congress on Tuesday morning.

JUDGES RULING AIDS
LORIMER'S CREDITORS
Dawes Bank Must Pay $780,
600 with Interest.

Chicago, July 10.-Depositors in the
defunct La Sale Street Trust and
Savings bank will receive seventy
cents on the dollar if the decision
given by Judge Frederick A Smith
is upheld by the higher courts.
This estimate as TO the amount that
would be available to pay creditors
was made bv William c. Niblack, re-
ceiver of the LOrimer bank
The big surprise of Judge Smiths
decision was the decree ordering the
Central Trust Company of Illinois, of
which Charles 6. Dawes is president,
to turn over $1,250,000, plus interest
amounting to $25O,OO0, to the receiver
to satisfy claims. This money, it is
admitted, never belonged to the La
Sale street bank, but was advanced
to William Lorimer at the time the
bank was changed from national to
a state institution in 1912.

inee for president, Anderson declined
to state, however, that Mr.. Ford will
not accept the presidential nomination
from the Prohibition national conven-

Mrs. Green's will leaves the bulk
of her estate to her son, Colonel f

international Questions Brought Up
with Arrival of Merchant Subma-
rine-U. S. Will Treat Diver as Mer-
chant Ship-Great Britain Protests.
Boat Is Without Armor.

Washington, July 10.-The U boat
liner which passed through the Vir-
ginia capes will be treated by the
chant ship.
The vessel will be permitted to dis
charge her cargo, to take on a cargo
for the return voyage, and sufficient
gasoline and other stores to enable
her to reach home.
This program of the state depart
ment is based upon official reports
that the German underwater boat is
not armed with torpedoes and is not
fitted with torpedo tubes. 1t also has
been reported that she has no guns,
but even if she has, and the claim
should be advanced that they are in
tended for defensive purposes only,
her status as a merchant ship will not
be changed in the view of this gov
ernment.
The British embassy is preparing to
demand that the vessel be treated as
a warship and required to leave Amer
lean waters within twenty-four hours
or interned.
The British contention proceeds on
the assumption that a submarine is
in character a war vessel, and that
1t would be an easy matter for such
a craft to equip itself with guns and
torpedoes from a small vessel await
ing it at sea.

OF 1000 tons of dyestuffs, a quantity
of mail and a message from Emperor
William to President Wilson, the
much-heralded German submrine. mer-
chantman, the Deutschland, arrived at
Norfolk al 1:45 in the morning after
an uneventful journey from a German
port
Unarmed and manned by crew in
marine uniforms in charge Of Captain
Kairig, the submersible proceeded up
the bay for Baltimore, where it is ex-
pected to dock. The cargo is assign
ed to A. Schumacher e Co. at Balti-
more, and it is expected that a cargo
of toluol will be taken aboard there
for shipment back to Germany.
Conveyed by U. S. Cutter.
The Deutschland was conveyed
up the bay by the tug Thomas T.
Timmins, with the coast guard cutter
Onodaga, with Collector Norman Ham,
ilton of this port on board, in her
wake. The Deutschland was met at
the capes on her arrival by the tug
Timmins, which stood by until day
light, when the journey up the bay
was started.
Schumacher e Co., the consignees.
are the agents at Baltimore for the
North German Lloyd Line.
Henry G. Hilken, head of the Bal
timore office of the Lloyd line, said
the submarine is an unarmed mer-
chant vessel, carrying medicines and
dyestuffs, and would enter at the Gus
tom house there Monday morning as
such.
The Deutschland left a German port
June %. She is commanded by Cap
tain Kairig and carries crew OF
twenty-nine men. The submersible
flew no flag until arriving in the bay,
when German merchant marine in
sigma was run up.
The visitors will be kept under SUI
veillance, as a matter of neutrality
precaution. until questions touching
on her status under international law
are settled.
Expected at New York
The arrival of the Deutschland had
been heralded for the last month OF
more, and week ago, according
an advertisement in a Baltimore Aus
trian newspaper was said to be lest
ing at the bottom of the Chesapeake
First announcements from Germany
said the diver would enter the port
at New York. Its Lobbing up any
where along the Atlantic seaboard
was therefore not unexpected.
Details of the great submersible's
dimensions are lacking, but dispatches
from Berlin have stated that the 800
foot length of the undersea merchant
man exceeded all war purpose sub
meslbles in size and qualities of en-
durance
