willed or provoked this war and they
strive to reduce these dangers in the

the enemy.
"It is with satisfaction therefore,
that they take note of the declaration
that the American declaration is in
nowise associated in its origin with
that of the central powers transmitted

They Must Protest.
They allied governments believe
that they must protest in the most
friendly but in the most specific man
ner against the assimilation estab-
lished in the American note between
the two groups Of belligerents; this
assimilation, based upon public decla-
rations by the central powers, it is
direct opposition to the evidence both
as regards responsibility for the past
and as concerns guarantees for the
future. President Wilson in mention
ing it certainly had no intention OF
associatng himself with it,
"lf there is all historical fact es-
tablished at the present date, it is
wilful aggression OF Germany and
Austria Hungary to insure their hege-
mony over Europe and their economic
domination over the world.
Contempt for Law.
Germany proved by her declarat-

by her manner OF conducting the war,
her simultaneous contempt for all
principles of humanity and all respect

Friday morning, the allies desiring TO
be sure that the president has the text

Premier BRAND at the same time

the general answer the allies, says
that the Belgian government desires
to show its feeling OF gratitud, to the

Alabama Prisoner
Escapes From Jail
At North Platte

After being chased 10000 miles by
postal inspectors and then appre-
hended while working on the Union
Pacific at North Platte, Adrian Well
don, former postmaster of Chelsea,
Ala, made a dash for liberty and
escaped when Sheriff Saulseberry
opened his cell to give him his sup
per, according to word received in
Omaha by the federal authorities.
Weldon is charged with filling out
money orders and then passing them
on to a confederate. In this way,
according to postal inspectors, the
government was defrauded out of a
large amount OF money.
Weldon was to have been taken
to Alabama by deputy marshal from

The most important joint state
ment ever drawn up by any govern

great transatlantic democracy. In
the same capital which has witnessed
great revolutions, Premier BRAND ad-
dressed the ambassador of the vast
confederation OF states which were
assisted by French volunteers to ac-
complish their independence $50 years
ago.
"A witness to this act, by which tho

sires to the new, was the minister OF
little Belgium, a country that was
stabbed in the back and would have
been wiped out but for the help OF

MOB LISTENS TO
GOVERNOR STANLEY
Succeeds in Quieting Crowd
that Threatened Judge
and Prosecutor.
TRIAL OF NEGRO IS ISSUE

Murray, KY, Jan. 1l.-Prompt ac-
ton by Governor A. o. Stanley IN
chartering a special train and rushing
to Murray from Frankfort when he
was informed of threats Of mob vio-
lence against Judge Charles Bush and
Commonwealth Attorney Denny
Smith, probably averted an attack up
on those officials here today.
The crowd, which had been cIamor-
ing for the life Of negro charged
with murder, listened to the COVER
nor's plea to let the law take its
course and apparently was pacihed
with announcements that date
definitely had been fixed for his trial
Later the governor departed on a
special train.
The outbreak grew out OF the con-
tinuance of the case against the negro.
Mob Objected to Delay.
The anger OF the mob was aroused
against Judge Bush and Common
wealth's Attorney Smith yesterday
when a continuance was granted IN
the case of Lube Martin, a negro,
charged with the killing OF Guthrie
Duigiui, white man. Jeers from the
crowd in the court room greeted the
statement. Later a mob formed and
called for the prisoner and when he
was not produced, demanded that the
white Judge surrender himself in
place OF the accused man.
Attempts at explanation were
howlcd down. Court officials then ex--
planned that Martin had been spirited
away and could not be returned before
this morning.
This further aroused the anger OF
the mob, which demanded that Judge
L Bush order the return OF the negro,
/ threatening in the event OF his failure
to comply with their demand to lynch
him. together with the common
wealth's attorney, or to dynamite the
hotel at which they were staying.
After a consultation between counsel
and Judge Bush it was announced
that the negro would be brought back
and placed on trial this morning.
Hurry Call for Governor.
A hurry call was sent to Governor
Stanley, and he left Frankfort on the
first available train, accompanied by
Judge H. B. Hines. chairman OF the
J state prison commission, and Warden
/ ]. b. Chiffon of the Eddyville peni-
tcnnary.

Martin was taken to Hopkinsville for
safe keeping. He was brought back

The warden said the alarm was
given to persons in the Snake Hill
neighborhood by 500 negro employees
OF the plant who were running for

Ii was necessary to suspend all
traffic on the Boonton branch of the

hour il was estimated by an official
of the line that about thousand COM
muters were held up by the delay.
Several Cars Destroyed.
Several freight cars owned by the
company on spur into the plant

done to the main line, it was stated
although the continued explosions
hurled debris across the tracks.
he Lackawanna is the only rail-
road running close to the scene, but
other lines also suffered some delay
owing TO the uncertainty as to condi-
tions in the region OF the fire.
An official of the Erie railroad
stated that although their tracks near
est the plant were mile away win
dows in their trains were smashed by
the force of the conclusion of the first
cxplosion.
N This came just at the beginning Of
the rush hour, he said. Trains were
held back until inspection crews were
sent ahead to make sure that tracks
were safe. He stated that about the
normal number of $4,000 passengers
were handled in the territory affected
Iin general by the explosion or the re-
lsulting excitement.

FARMERS HOLD A
SECRET CONCLAVE
Discuss Behind Barred Doors
Their Rural Schools and
Better Roads.
WANT NEW LAWS ENACTED

Only accredited delegates, fully
armed with credentials and obviously
horny-handed sons OF toll could OBJ
tain entrance to the convention OF the
Farmers Educational and Co-opera-
tive Union OF Nebraska. For farmers
have decided to hold star chamber
sessions except in the evenings. Even
reporters are barred.
The ruraIites have some important
subjects up for discussion and they
intend to lay the foundation for some
legislative activities, Hence the secret
conclaves.
Betterment OF rural schools is one
OF the subjects before the farmers.
Better Nebraska roads is another. I'm
proved shipping facilities is a third
There are several others.
After Lawmakers.
Committees conducting investiga-
tions in these subjects spent the
morning working on them prepara-
tory to making reports with sugges-
tions at the afternoon session.
The shipping facilities issue is
bothering the farmer greatly. He
feels that legislation collateral with
this subject is sorely needed, and the
union is expected to pass resolutions
urging immediate remedial laws.
What action the union will take on
the roads question is uncertain. The
committee is expected to urge i'm
provement, but sentiment among the
delegates seems to be divided be-
cause of the tax that would be in
volved in heavy expenditures to inn
prove the state highways.
About 200 more delegates to the
union have arrived, making the regis
tered attendance almost 1000. The
morning session was given over
largely to discussions among the del
egates, while the outstanding COM
mittees prepared their reports to be
made at the afternoon session No
action was taken on any of the sub
jects that came up.
