made with Minister Bowen by Count
Von Quadt, charge d'affaires, and has
insisted on. the cash payment of $340,

it would be preferential treatment.
As to the cash payment of $340,000
demanded, Bowen left that matter to
the German minister to determine,
saying to him that if Germany can
afford to make public a confession
that it does stand by its agreement,
signed by its duly accredited diplo
mats, he (Bowen) Is willing that Ger
many shall receive the total amount
in the original ultimatum on the -ay
the protocol is signed.
The response has been cabled to the
German foreign office.
Great Britain and Italy hate re
nounced .responsibility for the action
ot Germany and express their regret.
Through their representatives they
have informed Minister Bowen they
will stand by all the agreements they
have made with him .and not be influ
enced by the action of Germany.

JULIANS WANT SEWER FRANCHISE HERE
The next meeting of the city coun-1
cil will be called upon to consider an
application for a sewer franchise from
W. A. Julian and George F. Julian ot
Tucson. Through their attorney, D.
L. Cunningham of Tombstone they
have addressed a letter to Mayor
Muirhead stating that they are anx
ious to build a sewer system In this
city.
This is not the first time the Julians
have applied to the city for a sewer
franchise. Several months ago they
laid the matter before the council, '
which appointed Aldermen Scott and I
Kindred and City Attorney Miller a
committee to investigate the matter,
The result of this "investigation was
a report from Attorney Miller to the
effect that the Julians -were not acting
in good faith, and that their object in
getting a franchise 'was to speculate
with it at some time in the future.
The council agreed with Attorney
Miller, and refused to pass an ordi
nance that would permit the appli
cants to install a system of sewerage
here. Since that time Attorney Cun
ningham has talked -with several
members of the council, and has no-w
prepared a revised ordinance, which
he asks the city to adopt.
Attorney Cunningham has mailed
copies of the proposed ordinance to
several members of the city council,
one of which was secured yesterday
for the purpose of giving the public
a synopsip of its contents.
Letter to Mayor
The letter to Mayor Muirhead, in
which Attorney Cunningham reviews
the situation, and sets forth the in
tentions of the applicants, reads as
follows:
"Dear Sir: I band you herewith a
copy of the proposed ordinance pro
viding for a sewer franchise to W. A.
Julian and George F. Julian. In draw
ing this copy I have endeavored to
eliminate from this the objectionable
features of the former. This seems to
me to be a fair proposition both to
the city of Bisbee and to the parties
who are asking for the opportunity to
spend their money In your town and
at the''same time provide the city
with, a much needed improvement I
have' delayed this matter for a long
time and at one time abandoned it al
together as I was informed that your.
committee had turned it down cold.
Only a few weeks ago I learned differ
ently, and then I bad -waited so long
I could not see any cause to rush it
during the holiday season:;, ;,,'. .

thought good policy for your town to
act in this matter I am assured that
you will have a sewer system in Bis

put it there. We mean business in
this matter and while I have been In

done by me in relation to this sewer
system for Bisbee has been, done in !

for me to be personally present be-

! and w hile there at the last time I was
'personally opposed by your city attor-
ney on account of a matter which had
no possible connection with this
sewer matter All members of the
city council who were present at that
time will bear me out in this state
ment so far as the opposition is con
cerned. The motive was not known
then to them. However, I do not wish
to engender any ill will at this time
and prefer to present the matter by
letters and trusting that the business
acumen of the members of the coun
cil will give this matter just consid
eration at all time keeping in view
the welfare of their city." ,
