Redfield referring to the new re-

TO PAY INDEMNITY
FOR ALL AMERICANS
pY AssocIArEp PRESS.

Washington, Jan. Through Am
bassador Won ,Bernstorff Germany to-
day proposed to the United States to
pay an indemnity for American lives
lost on the LUsitania and promised not
to sink any non-combatant vessels
without according safety to the pas
sengers and crews.
Tt was revealed that Germany also
agreed that ships small boats are
not, under all conditions to be con-
sidered place of safety.
The German message was laid be-
fore Wilson and officials generally
regard the submarine question be-
tween the United States and Germany
as virtually settled.
There is a belief that the situation
caused by the sinking of the Persia
will not result in difficulties as grave
as at first feared. No facts about the
Persia's sinking have been received
yet, however, but before the Persia
was sunk, Austria agreed in her
second note to observe the principles
of international law il sinking vessels
and siSnilaT assurances ere expected
from Bulgaria and Turkey.
The assurances regarding the con-
duct of submarine warfare in the
Mediterranean, convey the first infor-
nation that German submarines were
operating there. In excluding all
ships except liners from the assur-
ances covering submarine warfare in
the North Sea, the German govern
ment was represented as considering
that no Americans could possibly be
aboard ships othersshan liners in regu-
lar passenger carrying service.
Tt had been known for some time
that Count Won Bernstorff had de-
vised a plan which he believed would
satisfactorily end the Lusitania con-
troversy. He was understood to have
submitted the proposition to the Berlin
foreign office before Christmas. There
was some delay because of the adj
verse sentiment created by the request
for the dismissal of the German naval
and military attaches, and the de-
mands in the first American note to
Austria-Hungary on the sinking of
the italian liner Ancona.
AS for the disavowal asked by the
United States, the German govern
ment was represented as considering
that the most effective form of disa-
vowal was assurances that such acts
should not be committed in the future
The assurances regarding the con-
duct of German submarines in the
Mediterranean were understood to be
nearly identical with those contained
in Austria's reply to the last Ameri-
can note on the Ancona.

Youngstown, Ohio, Jan. Three

mated loss Of eight hundred thousand
dollars and state troops called out
tonight SO result of rioting in East
Youngstown after a battle between
strike sympatb;vers and armed guards
at the plant of che Youngstown Sheet
and Tube Co. Many houses were still
burning late tonight.
The rioters stole five hundred
pounds of dynamite and have threat
ened the residential section. The
postofice was burned and it is report
ed the United States regulars were
ordered here, as well as the militia
now en- route.
Police and private guards at the
steel plants and firemen were helpless
as were the sheriff and deputies, al
though fifty rioters had been arrested
during the night. There was much
footing before the torch was applied
to business buildings. Hundreds of
dollars worth of liquors was taken
from saloons and jewe1ry stores
robbed and burned. The rioting con-
tinued late tonight.
The outbreak began late today
when a mob of more than six thou
sand men and women formed at the
entrance of the steel mills in East
Youngstown and hooted and jeered as
the day shift left the plant The pri-
vate police force was lined up and
some one hit one of them with brick.
The police fired to scare the crowd.
Immediately rain of bullets began
and nineteen were wounded, four
probably fatally.
The crowd burned four business
buildings and two buildings Of the
Youngstown Sheet and Tube Works,
driving of the firemen with stones
and pistol shots. They looted a sa-
loon and began applying torches to
other buildings. The police were
helpless.
East Youngstown has a population
Of ten Thousand, mostly foreigners,
and the strike in the steel mills there
involves three thousand workers who
demand twenty-five instead of nine
teen and half cents per hour. Four
of the companies offered twenty-five
but this was refused.

This Conveys Some Idea of
Determined Nature of
Russian Blow.
CZERNOWTTZ'S FALL
HOURLY EXPECTED
Not Yet Clear IF This Is
Big General Offensive
Planned By Russians
nv AsaOrTATUD pRUsg

London, Jan. 7.-Some idea of the
determined nature of the Russian
blow on Bessarabian front is con-
veyed by Petrograd dispatches today
which state that for fifty hours the
Russians concentrated four hundred
guns on the Austrian positions at
Czernowitz in preparation for an in
fantry attack.
Russia does not yet claim Czerno-
WITT has fallen, but German dispatches
admit the Teutonic position there is
critical. The Russians announce the
capture of Czartorysk, but it is not
yet clear whether the Russian opera
tions herald the big general offensive
from the Baltic to the Rumanian bor-
der, or merely indicates diversion of
unparalleled magnitude and fierceness
to weaken the Teutonic pressure in
the Balkans and incidently on the
italian.
The fighting however, is of a most
bitter character, according to Austrian
and Russian reports. They are mostly
hand to hand encounters and few pris-
oners were taken.
The situation on other fronts re-
mains comparatively quiet The Brit
ish announce more bombing opera
tions, and claim their artillery has
damaged the German trenches in
France.
The Austrian statement tonight de-
clared the Russians lost fifty thousand
men in New Years fighting on the
Bessarabian border and around Stripa
and denied the Russians had captured
Cartorysk. Vienna also reports Aus
trian successes against Montenegrins,
but Montenegro denies these.
Bulgarian irregulars and Greek
gendarmes have been clashing on the
Greek frontier, but otherwise there is
nothing new in that section. Artillery
battles continue. at the Dardanelles.
Anglo-French warships are lombard
ing Turkish positions.

NEW HAVEN'S
CASE NOW IN
JURY 5 HANDS
Latter Had Not Reached
Verdict After Celebrating
For Many Hours.
az Assoc1ArEn PREss.

New York, Jan. THE jury in the
case of the eleven former directors of
the New Haven, charged with criminal
violation of the Sherman law, was
locked up for the night at 11:35 to-
night without reaching verdict. 1t
had been out since 1870 today.
William Rockefeller was the only
defendant not In court when Judge
Hunt began his remarks.
The court, after describing the in
dictment, first instructed the jury
that the case should be considered
without regard to any testimony that
would indicate any attempts to infiu-
ence legislation by bribery or corrupt
means.
The Indictment contained no such
charge, he said.
Discussing the Sherman act, he said
that it did not prescribe limit to ac-
QUESTIONS and that large enterprises
may in certain sense be permitted
to monopolize commerce. Magnitude
Of business was not in itself viola
ton of law.
The criminal act, 2 he said, els i'm
conspiring to restrain freedom Of ac-
tion and unduly restricting or sup
pressing conspiracy.
The first question for the jury to
decide, he said, was whether ''back in
1890 or whereabouts, there existed a
conspiracy to monopolize commerce.
IF the government does not satisfy
you that conspiracy existed at that
time, then the whole case of the gov
eminent fails"
Judge Hunt explained that the al
legged conspiracy must have been a
continuous one from 1890 into the
three year period covered by the stat
ute of limitations.
The court held that the charge also
could not be sustained unless the jury
was satisfied that the defendants or
any of them 'intended to enter an
illegal combination" Intent, he said,
was physcholo 3ical and not to be as
certained by fixed rule of law. The
sound lines agreement of 1886, the
court characterized as obnoxious to
the Sherman law" and said that it
was for the jury to consider whether
it was kept in force after 1890 in
furtherance of the conspiracy. Dis
cussing the testimony of Mr.. Mellen,
Judge Hunt said he had, Thought
there would be no serious challenge
as to the accuracy Of his statements
and that the only dispute among
I counsel would arise from the inference
to be drawn from them"

Washington, Jan. 7.-Representa-
tive Gardner was vigorously assailed
today in the house by two Republican
colleagues, Stafford and Cooper, of
Wisconsin, when he made a speech
criticizing COMMUNICATIONS and the
German nation.
"The remarks we have just heard
were as violent as would have been
made in the British parliament, .
shouted Mr.. Cooper, who is the rank
ing member of the foreign affairs
committee. On Mr.. Gardeners de-
mand for the regular order of bust
ness, Mr.. Cooper sat down. He had
scarcely taken his seat, however,
when Mr.. Stafford gained the floor.
In an impassioned address, he de-
clared Mr.. Gardner to be "more Brit
ish than American" criticized him for
the nature of his remarks when every
member should weigh his words care
fully" and strongly defended Ger
man-Americans. Mr.. Stafford took
particular exception to the declara-
ton that German-Americans were
destroying American munition facto-
ries with their ''gold and dynamite"
'SThose charges cannot be made
against the 100000 German-Ameri-
cans who are in this country" he
declared. Il am not advocating the
German cause, but know that in my
own districts munitions factories sur
rounded by thousands of German
Americans are running daily without
interference. I therefore rise to re-
sent this baseless charge which is
unworthy of any man."

GIVE AWAY PERSONS AGEl
Hands Arc Treacherous in That Way

the Greatest Care.

The hands, being used more than
any other parts of the body, age first.
That Is the reason woman who does
manual labor has older hands than has
woman of the leisure class. The
first signs Of age appear in the hands.
The hands are the greatest telltalcs of
age. Take good care of them. Your
age is In your hands.
Aging hands are starved hands. The
skin becomes dry and withered like a
faded rose leaf. When woman has
passed the thirty-year milestone she
should give especial attention to keep
ing the hands well fed. The backs
of the hands need the greater part Of
the nutrment, for 1t Is there that the
infal!iblc signs of age first manifest
themselves. At least once day cold
cream or olive oil should be well
rubbed in.
To prevent the following effect of
the oil, two drops of tincture of ben
zoin in every tcaspoonful of olive oil
used will be eilicacious, for tincture of
bcnzoin is bleaching agent. For the
same purpose a half dozen drops of
lemon juice in II teaSpOouful of olive
