 SAYS DELEGATES
 WILL NEVER SAIL
rRepubIIcan A. p. Leased wIre1

LONDON, August 1u.-The confer ence of the British labor party held at Westminster today voted to send dele gates to the Stockholm consultative conference, by 1,046, 900 to 550,00 The conference was in an uproar which ended only when the results of the card vote was announced.
 The resolution was carried after an amendment by the dock workers op- posing it had been defeated by vote of 391, 900 to l,651, 900. When the vote on the resolution was announced, a delegate shouted that no matter what the convention did, the Firemen's and Seamen's union would see to it that the delegates would never reach Stock holm.
 G. N. Barnes, minister of pensions spoke in favor of the dockworkers' at . titude against attending a conference at which delegates from enemy coun- tries would be present, saying that the United States. Belgium, France and Italy were not sending delegates and that if delegates from Great Britain were sent they would be negotiating with Russians, Germans, Dutch and lScandinavians. He asked If the con ference at present was for peace ant Wdo diS"eitu Dy tIuHueFOuS cries O ''yes" and mo"
 George Henry Roberts, labor member of parliament for Norwich, made z l strong speech against delegates goinl l to Stockholm. He said he declined tt meet Germans during the war. The chairman of the convention | promised to give consideration to ; suggestion by Robert Smillie, leader o the miners, that now the resolution hat been carried, the executive committe, should approach the American an,
 Belgian laborites and persuade then
 to send delegates to Stockholm. | The decision of the laborites to sen, representatives to Stockholm is re

Republican A. p. Leased Wlrel

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-The en- tire legal staff of the emergency fleet corporation has quit in a body, because of sympathy, it is said, with Major General George w Goethals, whose resignation as general manager of the corporation was accepted recently by President Wilson.
 On the staff are some of the coun- try s best known lawyers. They are George Rublee. former member of the federal trade commission; Joseph P. Cotton. George H. Savage and Charles P. Rowland of New York, and Edward E. Burling of Chicago.
 All except MT Savage were serving without pay.
 The attorneys resigned several days ago, but their action became known only today. It was learned the lawyers felt they should go out with General Goethals and that Rear Admiral Cappa now general manager, should be free to choose his own associates.
 When the places of the. attorneys are filled and one more member is named for the shipping board, the re- organization of the board and the cor poration will have been completed
 The new board today took up witt Thomas Royden of the British mission the subject of reduced ocean freight rates A concerted move to reduce shipping tariffs will be made by tho allied governments as soon as a definite plan is agreed on. After the meetins today it was made clear that the ship ping board will enter no agreement with tle allies which might take iron the United States control of all Amer. ican tonnage. If this country enter. the inter allied chartering conference as requested by the British govern ment, it will be the definite under standing that no other country is tt exercise the slightest measure of sup ervision over the direction of American shipping.
 An understanding as to rates proba bly will be reached within a few day and will be put into effect as soon a the shipping board acquisitions Amer ican ships now on the sea. The arn will call for allied control of neutra tonnage and freight scale for neutra ships no higher than that enforced b allied owners.

rPepublican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-Failure of the German foreign office to placate Peru has forced that country into a position where some officials of the state department believe it can do nothing less than break relations with the imperial government.
 Manuel de Freyre Santander, the Peruvian charge daffaires, today was informed by his government that Peru would not accept the new German pro- posal to submit the case of the Peru yian bark Lorton to prize court. Un- official advices yesterday said the Pe- ruvian senate had endorsed President Wilson's stand in the war and break in relations now is expected by many officials to follow shortly.
 The official message to MT. de Freyre said:
 The German government having de- cided to submit the circumstances Of the sinking of the Peruvian bark LOT ton to a prize court, the government Of Peru has instructed the minister or Peru at Berlin to state that, in accord . ance with the declarations of London, invoked by Germany, the sinking of the i Peruvian bark Lorton, is wholly unJus- | tified, owing to the nationality Of the ship. the quality and destination of its cargo, the locality where the ship was sunk, the impossibility for the ship to | be acquainted with the German decree establishing a barred zone, which de- | cree moreover the Peruvian govern

TUCSON, Aug. 10.-Wind travelling faster than 75 miles an hour hurlinG from the northeast in an impenetrable cloud of dust and debris, tore through the city this afternoon at 4:50 o'clock and was followed by a hail storm which showered humps of ice an inch in diameter throughout the section A whipping rain followed, lasting un- til a late hour when it fell steadily swelling already swollen rivers and arroyos. Substantial bridges over the Santa Cruz river in this section are threatened but are holding at an early hour tonight.
 The wind tore the roofs from houses of substantial construction, whirled huge timbers distances of a hundred feet or more, tore limbs and uproot- ed trees, dropped power lines on the streets and from the north to the south end of the city, covered the ground with debris of fences out houses, shattered glass from windows and tore down telephone and tele- graph wires and poles.
 The hail storm which lasted about half an hour beat down gardens and Wrerched limbs from trees and caused thousands of dollars worth of damage To growing crops in the outlying dis tlicts.

Both the British and French armies facing the Germans in Flanders have again struck hard bows at their an tagonists and have been rewarded with further gains in the line of Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria.

 cablegrams stating that it would be
 mistake for the Russians to be left to

 and for the voice of the British work
 men not to be heard.
 The British majority delegates will
 present the British point of view on war issues at the conference and MT. Henderson probably will be their spokesman.
 There is a possibility, however. that the delegates will find difficulty m getting to Stockholm. Members of the seamen's union asserted today that the question of British participation after all was under their control.

 OAKLAND, Cal, Aug. 10.-Scores of national guardsmen raided tonight the Oakland headquarters of the Industrial Workers of the World and carried out the organizations literature and rec ords and made a bonfire of them in the street
 The raid was said to be an outgrowth of an alleged attack upon two soldiers two weeks ago by men who claimed to be members of the I. w. w The sol diers were so badly beaten they were taken to Letterman General Hospital in San Francisco.
 The guardsmen were on a holiday, it was said. Bystanders declared they were armed with pick handles and oth- CT weapons. During the melee, one soldier fired one shot into the air, it was asserted.
 The furniture and literature, burning in the street, caused the report that the entire building was on fire to be transmitted to the fire and police de- partments. When the firemen arrived on the scene, they found only the em- bers of the blaze.
 No arrests were made and no injuries were reported to the police. After the fire, the soldiers marched up and down the streets, but offered no more vio- lence. The few members of the l. w. w who had been in the hall, were warned of the soldiers approach by the shouts and yells. Locking the doors, they went out the back way of the building and disappeared. The soldiers were joined by many civilian sympa- thizers it was said They broke down the doors and then carried the furni- ture and literature into the street.

WASHINGTON. August 10-A state ment making it clear that the Amer jean Red Cross will not neglect Ger man wounded or prisoners and will welcome cooperation from Americans of German origin, was authorized to- night by Chairman Davison of the Red Cross war council.
 When war was declared between the United States and Germany" said MT. Davison, the neutrality of the American Red Cross of course. ended automatically. The American Red Cross can keep only behind the lines of the armies of the United States and it's allies. But the Red Cross knows no such thing as the nationality of a wounded man.
