Chicago, Aug. 2.-Governor Dunno,

county committee which investigated
conditions at the state school at Lin

provements were suggested. Among
them was recommended informally to
the governor the destruction of cattle
at the school believed to be infected

The committee, whose membership
was made up OF Chicago women social
workers, will report to Judge Scully
before making a more definite state
ment of its findings other than that
stories of bad conditions at the school
were exaggerated.

GERMANY SENDS
PLEDGE TO DUTCH
Berlin Government Promises Not to
Destroy or Modest Holland Ships
Bound to England.

London, Aug. 1.-The German gov
eminent has sent a pledge to Holland
not to destroy or modest Dutch ships
carrying fOodstuffs to England, says a
Copenhagen dispatch to the Express.
This decision is the result of a visit
to Berlin of Cornelius J. K. Van Aalst,
president of the Overseas trust and
another Dutch commissioner.
The Express says Van Aalst pre-
scented an uItimatum to the authorities
in Berlin to the following effect:
Unless Germany agrees not to in
terfere with Dutch ships bound for
England with food cargoes, Holland
will close her eastern frontier. Other
wise the entente may stop Dutch i'm
ports from America and the Dutch col
onies."
The trip of the Dutch commissioner
was the result of representation by
the entene that Holland was selling
the entente that Holland was selling
many while her food trade with Eng
land has almost ceased. Holland re
piled that trade with England was
made dangerous by German submar-
ines. Van Aalst, fearing reprisals by
the entente then undertook the trip to
Berlin

Up at Joliet

Joliet, Aug. "A plot to blow up
part of the Illinois state penitentiary
here was discovered here today by in
vestigators for Warden thinner. I'm
bedded in a wall of a cell house were
found nine sticks of dynamite, con-
ture in the cell of Clyde Stratton, one
of three convicts who escaped from
the prison Sunday night
If the dynamite had been exploded
it is believed the whole cell house
would have been blown up.
1t is believed Stratton and his Co
plotters in the conspiracy to escape
expected to explode the dynamite and
blow down the walls, hoping in the
confusion to get away, if their simple
and successful plan of opening the
cell doors and boring a hole through
the roof had proved a failure. Officials
say the explosion would have killed
many cOnYictS.
Stratton and the other two have not
been found.
Harry Southern, a prison guard, re-
signed today. Two other guards
Harry Dady and r. c. Oldfeld, will
have to face the prison board on
charges which Warden thinner so far
has declined to divulge. 1t is thought
they will be asked why they were not
within earshot of the racket made when
the cell door switch was thrown open
Sunday. removing the principal bar
rier which kept the men in the cells.

President Does Not Change
Position Taken in Regard
to the Woman Vote.
DEFIES HUGHES POSE
Announcement Is Brought
Forth by Assertion of Re
publican Nominee.

Washington, Aug. president Will
son has not changed his position that
the woman suffrage question should be
dealt with by the states, it was an
nounced today at the White house.
The statement was brought forth by
the announcement yesterday of Charles
E. Hughes, the republican nominee
that he favored an amendment to the
federal constitution giving the vote to
women.
A delegation of suffragists saw the
president yesterday and afterward in
dictated they believed he would make a
new statement on the question before
the convention of the National Ameri-
can Suffrage association in September
At that time the policy to be pursued
in the presidential campaign will be
determined by the national suffrage
organization.
Position Unchanged.
Today Secretary Tumulty discussed
the question with the president and
afterward announced that Mr.. Wilson's
position on the subject was unchanged
This position, as outlined several
times to suffragist delegations, within
the last three years, is that while he
favors votes for women, he is opposed
to federal action.
The president voted for woman's
suffrage in New Jersey last year. II
was indicated that today's announce
ment was final.

mitted that preparations were going

said his company had cargo stored in
every large port on the Atlantic sea-
board.
Mr.Hilken talked concerning the

the Deutsche Oxen Rheredei builders
and owners of the Deutschland and
Bremen propose to establish between
Germany and America. One of the
