Washington. Nov. 22.-Possibility of

amicable adjustment of any wage con-
troversies during the war was made
today at a conference between Presi-
dent Wilson. the four brotherhood

A definite issue in the wage negotia-
tions, it was assured, could not be
reached before the first of the year. as
the demands will not be presented un-
til December /. Future developments
will depend, first. upon the carriers
disposition of the new demands. and
second. in event of a deadlock, upon
further negotiations agreed to at to-
days meeting at the White House.
Cryptic statements were issued by
President Wilson and brotherhood
chiefs after the two-hour conference in
which the president announced that
the brotherhood heads agree, "in case

GERMAN PLANTED
AUDITORIUM BOMB
NaturaliZed Hun COnfesses
to Hatred for American
Government.

Chicago. Nov. 22.-Reinhold A. Faust.
a naturalized German, tonight con-
fessed to Chief of Police Schuettler
that he placed a bomb in the audi
torium theater last Friday during a
grand opera performance. The crude
ly constructed bomb did not explode,
but its discovery caused much con-
fusion among the audience. Faust, who
was formerly pestOrflce clerk. also
admitted, the police said. that he had
written Matchmaking letters to promi-
nent Chicago bankers.
Faust said he hated the government,
not because it was at war with his
native land. but because of treatment
lploye for ten years and failure to re-
cover his position from which he was
discharged for insubordination. lie
said he wanted only to alarm wealthy
persons, SO that they would heed his
blackmailing letters.
Was Coming Again.
He had planned. he said, to place a
more telling explosive in the same
theater.
Despite Fausts assertions that he
placed the bomb in the Auditorium
merely to create q scare, federal Off
GERS have discovered it was the es-
plosive type and that II probably would
have caused injuries in the audience
had it exploded.
The weak point in his story, II was
pointed out, was that he claimed to be
a novice in the manufacture of bombs
He said his only knowledge came from
examining guns and ammunition.
Other Explosives Found.
At his home the police found nitro
glycern, gunpowder, powdered dyna
| mite and other explosives as we'll M

in the Auditorium.

Sobbing, fearful and voiceless, Hen ry Lewis yesterday admitted the theft of various lots of merchandise from the store of M LevinsOn, South First aV- enue where he had been employed and was held by Justice DeSOuZa for sen tence by the superior court. His bond was fixed at 1000.
 While Levinson was out of the city making purchases of stock, Lewis, who had been left in charge of the store, was making room for the new stock by taking merchandise of a variety of kinds from the shelves to his room Tn his lodging house.
 A discovery of his accumulation was made last Monday and that night Lew is was taken into custody by the police. Levihson yesterday appeared before Justice De SouZa and sWore 10 com plaint charging him with grand lar ceny. The value of the goods stolen, Levinson says, is in excess of S200.
 Lewis was brought over from the city jail shaking. In reply to questions by the court he could only nod or shake his head. As the reading Of the com plai int proceeded. Lewis clutched at his breast: then he began to sob and then his eyes overfloWed. He had told the police before he was taken from the jail that he would commit suicide.

Blanche Sweet at Lamara

That motion pictures have an educa- tional value is heartily endorsed by Elliott Dexter who plays the part of vorng doctor in support of Blanche Sweet in the LaskV- Paramount adap- tqtion of F. Honkinson Simhts story, "The Tides of Barnegat.' which will be seen at the Lamara theater today and tomorrow.
 As the young doctor, MT. Dexter IS suddenly called upon to resusciate drowning child, who in this case, IS DO other than little Billy Jacobs. The scene was taken on location and there was no opportunity to call in physl- elan to advise Dexter how 1t was done Quickly it occurred to Dexter that in the Paramount Pictograph he had seen a motion picture showing how persons who were nearly drowned were brought back O life This was impressed upon back to life. This was impressed upon the instructions as they were shown on the screen several months before and when the picture was displayed, it was stated by a physician that Mir. Dexter's reviving methods were abso- lutely correct.
 Others in the cast are Tom Forman, Harrison Ford, Lillian Leighton, Nor ma Nichols and Walter Rogers Spe- eial pictures will be shown for the lit tie ones which consists of comedy and educational subjects.

George I. Stoneman has been selected state chairman of the Four Minute Men" an organization of national inn portance authorized by President Will son and which is now being perfected by the National Defense Council.
 In order to impress upon the people the necessity of winning the war with Germany and winning it quickly, the Four Minute Men have entered the field and there are now 5000 speakers under the direction of their state chair men engaged in presenting four minute addresses to motion picture audiences.
 MT Stoneman will have the appoint ment of all the speakers who will ap- bear before Arizona audiences. He will immediately perfect his organization in Arizona The -Four Minute Men" have the backing of the motion picture industry in the United States which has offered to the president every as sistance The subjects win be provid- ed by the committee on public inIo>- nation of the National Defense Council and will be of national importance at this time.
 The Four Minute Men is special ized publicity service giving four minute talks by local speakers who are introduced to, their audiences by slide furnished by the government which is thrown on the screen. The speaking takes place in the intermission.
 The plan operates something like this: The introduction slide is shown, the speaker is ready at the platform, steps out before the audience and speaks four minutes. There is an abso- 4ute limit placed upon all speakers to four minutes in order to respect the arrangements made with the motion picture men of the United States

OVER 86 PER CENT IF MEMBERS
 SIGN FUR THEIR WATER RIGHTS
Repudiators Are Left in
 Equivocal Position by the Stand They Have Taken,
 Says Their Legal Advisor

Something over 85 per cent of the stockholders in the Salt River Valley Water Users association have signed up for their water rights. The exact number will not be known until the membership list can be carefully checked up by the officials, but Secre tary Charles A. Van der Veer stated yesterday that he believes at least S5 per cent and, perhaps, more have com piled with the requirement of the gov ernment and done their share towards completing the project.
 Just what the people who have not signed up are depending upon in lieu of water rights is not known. July IS was the final day for attaching their signatures to completed applications and there are undoubtedly some hum dreds who have not done as requested by the government. Whether they relic upon what they may consider vested rights or not is not stated, but legal opinion is that they have left them selves in a dangerous position by not carrying out their part of the agree ment with the government
 Officials of the association state that the time for making water right appli- cations having closed, so far as they know there is nothing more to be done. Applications, they say, cannot now be accepted
 Just what the status of failure to comply with the requirement would be was set forth in the interview given The Arizona Republican by Judge Kibby the other morning, and taking it for a text it leaves those who have not signed up in a rather equivocal position, to put it mildly. In speaking of the condition of those who repudi- at pa al at Kibby said:
 He cannot hope to escape the pay ment of proper charges for the service o1 water. And how can they be less to the defaulting subscriber than to the subscriber who in good faith com plies with the terms of his subscrip- tion? It is unreasonable and unjust for him to expect to be so favored.
 The defaulting subscriber is very apt to find himself in rather an un- happy situation, and he will not enlist much sympathy if he repudiates his eX- press and solemn obligation deliber- ately entered into, not only to the as- sociation. and to the government, but To his neighbOrs.
 T am not going to assume that there will be any defaulters. There may be a few-in every community there are some who will not voluntarily discharge any just obligation, either private or public-that's why we have 10 have laws. Happily, they are few; at first they may be noisy and make themselves conspicuous. Why they want to be conspicuous as men whose word is not good and whose obligations are iepudiated. and who can only be compelled by legal process to comply with them, l do not know. There are, however, a few of them everywhere"

LABOR LEADERS MAKE APPEAL ID
 HEAD IF STATE
Governor Campbell Asked to Urge President to Send Deported Men Back to Their Former Home

John L. Donnelly, president of the Arizona State Federation of Labor, and Thomas A. Branch, secretary of the federation, were at the state house yesterday and called upon Governor Thomas E. Campbell The labor feder- ation officials asked the governor to send message to President Wilson re- questing him to permit the return to Bisbee of the men now held in camp at Columbus, N. M, and recently de- ported from the Warren mining dis trict
 MT. Donnelly had come to Phoenix direct from the camp at Columbus where he had been for two days. While he admitted that the men in the camp were being we'll cared for and had suf- ficient food, he insisted that they had been taken from their homes at Bisbee, that their wives and children were there, that they had left bank accounts at the Bisbee banks and should be permitted to return to their homes
 Following the conference, MT. French declared that Governor Campbell agreed to send the message to Presi- dent Wilson as the labor officials had requested.
