STRIKERS QUIET
AmPLANTS
No Rioting Today, But Strong
Force of Police and Deputy
Sheriffs on Duty.
NEED NOT APPARENT NOW
FOR CALLING OUT TROOPS
Sheriff Kinkead Gets Promise of
. Workmen's Committee to Aid in
Preventing Further Bloodshed.
NEW YORK. July 23.?Comparative
quiet, in marked contrast
to the three previous days of the
week, prevailed in the Constable
Hook section of Bavonne, N. J.,
today around the plants of the
Standard Oil Company and the
Tidewater Oil Company, which
have been closed because of a
-trike of 1,000 men in the Standard
Oil works and the resultant
disorder whereby three men were
killed and scores injured.
Crowds gathered as usual lu the
streets leading to the works to discuss
the situation, but no threatening move
was made. Desultory firing occurred
during the night, but the police said
this was chiefly due to some false
alarm among the watchful guards.
Sheriff Kinkead and Commissioner of
Public Safety Henry Wilson said today
they believed the situation was well in
hand and that there would be no need
of troops.
Two events set for today caused the
authorities some uneasiness, however,
and they kept a strong force of police
and deputy sheriffs on duty. One of
these was the funeral of the first victim
of the riots. John Stranchik, which
was later postponed until tomorrow or
Sunday. Some of the leaders wanted a
public funeral with music and oratory,
hut the authorities forbade this.
A church service conducted by the
regular clergyman of the vicinity and a
Procession, it wan declared, would not
be interfered witli, but speeches are
banned. It was thought best to defer
burial of victims until the feeling:
among the people in the strike district
had subsided further.
Pay Day May Be Put Off.
The other matter to cause uneasiness
is the fact that this is pay day at the
works, and it was thought some of the
men might go there to collect wages*
and their approach might incite shoot
is and disorder. Sheriff Kinkead, In
order to avoid possibility of trouble,
asked the strikers' committee to defer
their pay day for a week, and said that
if any of the men were in distress and
-ecded their wages he would personally
try to collect the money. The committeemen
said they would present the
sheriff's view to the men.
Sheriff Kinkead invited the strikers'
, committee, which is headed by Jeremiah
J. Daly, to uolice headquarters and,
besides discussing the pay proposition,
asked them to strongly counsel the
men to avoid further disorder. He appealed
to them, for the sake of homes
and families, to keep the men off the
streets. He said he believed the strike
could be settled without further bloodshed
and he asked for their hearty cooperation,
which was promised.
"I want to warn the strikers through
you, and their committee," he concluded.
"that J have instructed my deputies
arrest the first man who fires a shot,
and I have force enough to do It. I J
Hve also instructed my deputies if any
shots are fired from Inside the plant
?o go in there and get the man or men
who did it."
Gets Picked Police Officers.
Sheriff Kinkead announced that he
bad asked authority from Gov. Fielder
to gather an additional force of 100
picked police officers from the cities In
Hudson county under his Jurisdiction.
These policemen, he said, will come to
Ba**onne in uniform and will be sworn
in as special deputy sheriffs. They
will remain on strike duty until further
orders.
Commissioner of Public Safety Wilson
in a statement said he believed
the situation is so well in hand that
It will not be necessary to call out
troops. He also announced that a vol.
unteer city commission In the course
ef the day will act as mediator in the
strike situation and will present to
the Standard Oil officials, on behalf of
the committee of strikers, a formal
written request for an Increase In
wages.
All saloons In Bayonne were ordered
closed today bv Mayor Garvin, and the
order wu generally obeyed. Heretofore
only the Constable Hook section
hss been affected.
Conciliators Arrive.
fnneillators John A. Moflltt end James
A Smyth, who were detailed to try to
% er d the strike by Secretary of Labor
TVIson, arrived in Rayonne today, and
Immediately set to work. Mr. Moffltt
co-'erred w>th the strikers' committee
end Mr S:n\th went to the Standard
Of works to consult with the officials
Jr. rhaiKe
FV.urteen of the Injured in Bayonne
Hospital, It was said today, were suffering
from severe wounds. Of these,
it w^s thought by the doctors, John
Surgen and Michael Seisecz would
s?>on be added to the list of dead.
No Need Now for Troops.
TRENTON. N. J.. July 23.. ? Gov.
K;rlder came to the statehouse today
ft .'I in an interview said he Is con\:n?*e?l
there Is now no need for state
t oops at Bayonne. Adj. Gen. Sadler
( ? me N>w Jersey National Guard and
? h i. riff Kinkead today told the gove>
: or that the situation was within
the control of the local authorities.
Sin riff Kinkead will swear In additional
deputies today and also call upon
the different cities of Hudson county,
in which Bayonne is located, to lend
their extra policemen to Bayonne to
maintain order.
*f the agitators will keep quiet, the governor
said, he felt satisfied the demands
o> tne strikers wouiu o? presenter 10 employers
with some hope of an agreement.
?lor. Fielder was caustic in his criticism
of the Rayonne city authorities for
the way in which the strike lias been handled
The city commissioners at first laid
down, the governor said, and the police
officers made no attempt to curb the disturbances.
There were very 'few arrests
the local police and none by the sheriff,
h* declared. There was no attempt to
get st the ringleaders and arrest them.
A stats constabulary like Pennsylvania's
would have prevented the trouble, the gov*
ejnur added.
NEW INVESTIGATION
ON SERjOUSCHARGE
Potomac Electric Power Company
Notified of Proposed
Public Hearing.
DIFFERENCES ALLEGED IN
PRICES FOR CURRENT SOLD
Claim Private Consumers Pay Dividends
of Washington Railway
and Electric Comjymy.
Another step In the public utilities
commission's endeavor to separate the
Washington Railway and Electric Company
from the Potomac Electric Power
Company was taken today when the
commission served on the electric company
a notice that a hearing: soon will
be held to determine publicly the cost
of electricity furnished the Washington
Railway and felectric Company and
subsidiary lines as compared with the
cost of electricity furnished to householders
and private consumers. For
several months there has been a lull in
the fight on this line from the District
building, th?j latest battle having occurred
In the hearing room of the
House District committee, when the
bill to separate the companies was being
analyzed in public hearing. At
that time Corporation Counsel Syme
made the statement that in ten years
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company had paid dividends $2,000,000
In excess of the earning power of the
road.
Outline of the Investigation.
The notice from the public utilities
commission to the Washington Railway
and Electric Company gives an outline
of the line of investigation to be
pursued, and states that the commission
has already examined:
1. The proper measurement of the
power used by the Potomac Electric
Power Company and by the Washington
Railway and Electrio Company
and by the other utilities
which receive power from these
companies.
2. The proper basis for jthe determination
of the proportion of all
charges for the production and distribution
of electric power to be'
paid by the Washington Railway
and Electric Company and by the
Potomac Electric Power Company
wherever joint ownership is claimed. j
3. The basing of sales of electric *
power on the same unit of measure. {
4. Whether there is unjust or un- t
reasonable discrimination in favor (
of or against any consumer.
"After making such investigation," t
the notice of the commission says, "the |
commission has become satisfied that j
sufficient grounds exist to warrant a t
formal hearing/'
Charges for Electricity. r
district building officials, in discuss- <
ing the notification, said today that It J
was evidence of the determination of J
the public utilities commission to com- r
pel the production, distribution and i
sale of electricity by the Potomac Elec- 1
trie Power Company, to be so measured
that it will be possible to ascertain j
exactly at what price the Washington 1
Railway and Electric Company is re- \
celling power, and at what price the sub- t
sidiary lines are receiving it. (
It has been charged before Congress
that the main revenue of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company is
derived from its ownership of Potomac j
Electric Power stock. District building
officials who are anxious to push c
the bill for separating the two con- a
cerns have declared over and over f
again that without the dividends from
the power company stock the Washing- a
ton Railway and Electric Company y
could not pay from its own operations j
dividends on either preferred or common
stock.
When the bill for the separation of
the Potomac Electric Power Company
and the Washington Railway and *
Electric Company was introduced in f>
the House the public utilities commis- c
sion took the view position that the a
private consumers of electric power in
the District of Columbia are really
paying the dividends of the Washing- '
ton Railway and Electric Company. <
Preliminary to Valuation. J
The investigation about to be ordered t
Is evidently preliminary to the valu- 1,
?vu v? hicbc i?u tompanics, wnicn i I
will be .completed in the early fall. It ' *
was said today In the commission of- ^
flees. It is hinted there that the valu- |
atlon and the results of the proposed 1
present investigation may have an in- 1
timate connection. 1
The commission several months ago ,
ordered the Potomac Electric Power t
Company to report its Droduction and ,
distribution of electric renergy. but, it .
is claimed at the District building, the
reports made were so involved as to j
be valueless as a liasis for action. ]

OAKI.ANIJ I ill.. July 33.?Allen D.
Albert of Minneapolis was elected pres- ,

place with thirteen delegates, whose
combined traveling amounted to 85,000
miles. Toledo, Ohio, won the cup last *
year. t

Teuton Capital for Indications

BERLIN, via London,
July 23, 3:50 p.m.?The new
American note to Germany
reached here during the *
night and was delivered to
the foreign office by Ambassador
Gerard at 1:12 o'clock
this afternoon.
Country Rests Case.
With the delivery today by Ambassador
Gerard to the foreign office in
Berlin of the new American note warnng
Germany that the loss of American
ives through further violations of neutral
rights would be regarded as unfriendly,"
the United States rests its
:ase for the present at least.
The note will be given out here late
today for publication tomorrow mtrnngt.
Count Bernstorff, the German ambassador,
went to the State Departnent
today for his official copy of the
American note to Germany, although
le previously had received an unofficial
outline of its contents.
The ambassador has had no comnunication
with his foreign office on
ts view of the note. His purely perional
view is that the communication
vill bring a reply, although one may
lot be made for more than a month.
Sis personal view is that the situation
itill is left open for amicable adjustnent.
Officials of the Washington governnent
turned expectantly toward Berin
for some indication from official
luarters there as to the reception of
he communication. Until such fnormation
is at hand the next dinln.

iround the White House that the

Secretary Daniels in making the reactions.

CHICAGO, July 23.?Jane Addanis
aras welcomed home last night by 3,000
'riends and acquaintances. She told

hat the spirit of hate still rules the
earring nations of Europe, but that
:here are evidences of softening inluences.
She detailed the efforts made
)y women who attended the peace
Fathering at The Hague to pave the
natlc move of the United States will
iot be decided upon.
Speaks Final U. S. Word.
Everywhere in official quarters it was
jointed out that this document speaks
he final word oh how the United States
government would regard further
ransgressions of its rights. The general
trend of comment was that the
epetition of such a disaster as befell
he Lusitania would mean the convenng
of- Congress by President Wilson
or consideration of the action to be
aken.
In the event that the status quo is
naintained. however, and there are inilcatlons
through official or unofficial
channels that German submarines in
'uture will conform to the rules of inernational
law jn saving the lives of
\merlcans on unresisting merchantnen.
President Wilson will take up
ery soon the situation "that has arisen
vith Great Britain over Interference
vith American commerce by the allies.
For several weeks a note has been
>ractlcally completed, almost ready to
>e sent to the British government, reteratlng
the protest against deviations
rom international law in the operaions
of the order in council against
:ommerce with Germany.
British Note Nearly Finished.
The new American note to Great
Britain was almost finished today at a
conference between President Wilson
ind Secretary Lansing. It will be sent
orward to London probably next week.
Secretary Lansing will finish the note
ind expects to forward it to President
vVilson at Cornish for his final ap>roval
before dispatching it to London.
Season for Delay.
The note has not been sent because
'resident Wilson has been unwilling to
five the impression in Berlin that the
iontroversy between the United States
ind Germany in any way could be conlitioned
on the progress of the Ameriaan
government's negotiations with
>ther belligerents. It has become
cnown, however, that if there are inlications
that the new American note
o Germany is received in a friendly
ipirit and there appears no intention
urther to violate neutral rights on the
ilgh seas, the new protest to Great
Britain will be dispatched probably
vith in a fortnight.
Data Is being gathered at the State
Department, but the new note probably
A-ill not deal to any extent with specific
instances, contending chiefly for
he general principles involved with
enewed insistence on modifications in
he order in council to conform with
iccepted rules of international law.
The recent filing of a legal caveat announcing
that orders in council and
British municipal law do not affect the
ights of American citizens under international
law was the first step in
the policy which the United States is
?ursqing to obtain acquiescence in its
poipt of view.
NAVY YABD CASE WAITS.
President Wilson Has Not Yet Acted
Upon Employes' Petition.
President Wilson had not acted upon
he petition of navy yard employes for
i restoration of the wages existing
here prior to July 1 up to this afterloon,
and it was not known whether
te would do so before he goes out of
he city in the next few hours.

PRESIDENT RETURNS

Will Resume Interrupted Vacation
at Summer Home in
New Hampshire.
President Wilson has decided to enjoy
another short vacation at Cornish.
N. H., and will be out of Washington
before tomorrow morning. That he
might dispose of a number of departmental
matters before leaving he conferred
last nieht with cabinet officers
on different subjects, including appointments.
Today he saw a number
of visitors, and before leaving the city
will have disposed of many things on
his desk.
Early this morning he conferred with
Secretary Dansing, presumably regarding
the selection of a counselor for
the State Department and several appointments
in the consular service.
Dudley Field Malone, collector of the
port of New York, was a visitor at
noon and was followed by Judge Mehard,
of Pittsburgh.
This afternoon the President was in
conference with Miss Mabel Boardman,
Gen. C. A. Devol and Ernest P. Bicknell
of the Red Cross, relative to the
situation in Mexico and the handicaps
imposed on the Red Cross in its efforts
to carry relief to starving people in
that country.
President Wilson urged them not to
discontinue their efforts to relieve
famine sufferers of Mexico despite the
difficulties they are encountering. He
told them to keep trying to get food
into the distressed sections and do the
best they could.
Secretary Tumulty's Vacation.
President Wilson is the head of the Red
Cross, and the reports he received from
Red Cross officials as to Mexico were of
interest to him not only in his capacity
as president of the Red Cross but as
President of the United States. The
Red Cross undertook to furnish relief
to Mexicans about the time the administration
made the announcement of a
change of policy as to Mexico, but Gen.
oevol has been unable to reach an
agreement with the Mexican factions
that would permit unhindered relief
work, and the organization has been
compelled to practically give up the
extensive plans it had In view.
Secretary Tumulty will go out of the
vity tomorrow for a short vacation
with his family at^von, N. J. He will
take several clerks of his office .force
along, and the length of his stay at
Avon will depend upon developments.
Work Before President.
During his absence ?he President will
consider the next step in his Mexican
policy and the new note to Great
Britain protesting further against interference
to commerce with neutrals.
Secretary Lansing will go to Manchester,
Mass.. tonight to visit Col. E.
M. House, President Wilson's close personal
l'riend. He will be only a few
hours' ride from Cornish, but he said
today he did not expect to visit the

LONDON*. July 23.?Over the
Russian front, from the Baltic as
far as the Bug, the only district
in which the Austrians and Germans
are not attempting a serious
offensive lies opposite the region
of East Prussia, which is well defended
by the Mazurian Lakes.
North and south of Kovno German
attacks are reported, but the
chief fighting is in progress south
of Ivangorod, Lublin and Chelm,
connected by the railroad line,
wnicn is ot sucn value to tne .Russians,
and south of Sokal, on the
Bug in Galicia near the Russian
border.
A dispatch from Vienna to the
Berlin National Zeitung says the
final attempt of the Russians to
stop the advance of their opponents
in the critical battle
on the new line southward
of the Lublin-Chelm railroad
southeast of Warsaw has ended
in failure. The decisive action in
this campaign is likely to come in
the territory between the Vistula
and the Bug rivers, the Germans
declare.
The , Russian southwestern
front i^ seriously menaced, according
to Vienna. The Lublin
and Chelm railroad line running
through Ivangorod is now only i
few miles northward of the Teutonic
lines, and the capture of
Lublin and Chelm is said to be a
question of only a brief time.
Ivangorod Investment.
The report of the Investment of Ivangrorod
in yesterday's communication
from the German war office puzsles
military experts, who declare it is impossible
that the great fortress could
have been surrounded completely.
Southward from Warsaw to the yest
of the Vistula the Germans report a
victory for the Silesian landwehr,
which stormed the Russian positions
and threw back their defenders into
the fortress of Ivanporod. As the
scene of the Silesian success is fifteen
miles from the fortress it is believed
hpre the German official reoorts must
have been translated erroneously as
claiming the investment of the fortress
itself, when the* outlying protecting
forts were meant.
Lull on Narew Front.
On the Narew front there has been
a lull in the fighting, but the renewed
activity of the Germans from Kovno to
the Baltic has developed into an important
engagement, as a result of
which the Russians have been compelled
to rejire.
Interest here in the fate of Warsaw
is undiminished, but the stubborn resistance
of the Russians is doing much
to relieve the depression of the English.
This feeling of relief enables the
public to pay some attention to other
battle fronts.
Difficulties to Be Met.
The correspondent of the Berlin Na- ?
tional Zeitung at Tarnow, Galicia.
while reporting that the Austro-Gernian
forces are advancing steadily,
points out that there are difficulties to
be met. He says the Russians have to
contend with a lack of ammunition, but
the statement that their morals is
shatterea Is untrue. On the contrary
they are displaying the greatest bravery
and endurance, and only in the
case of contingents without higher of
fleers do they surrender readily.
Russians Battle Hard.
At Krastonav. thirty-four miles
south of Lublin, there occurred an engagement
at close quarters which was
unusually desperate and deadly. The
Russians awaited their attacking opponents
and resisted them with the
bayonet. They had assembled strong
reserves, and the Germans and the Auatrians
had to expend the greatest efforts
to overcome them. It was neces
sary literally to tnrow me txu?iana
from their trenches. The lack of good %
roads in Poland presented an especially
unfavorable aspect^ from the standpoint
of the invaders, ueep sana manes me

Bitter rear guard conflicts mark the
slow retirement of the Russians in
South Poland. They give way only one
step at a time, thus delaying although
not preventing the Austro-German advance.
The correspondent says that 'the
