Owego Shelled by U-Boat
Berlin Germany Aug". 19 (via Lon-
don Aug. 22.) Concerning the Ameri-
can note in the case of the steamer
Owego said to have been fired upon
"by a submarine efforts are being made
to clear up the facts German naval au-
i thorities having received their first in
timation of the matter in the American
note and having no other information.
Case In Kept Secret.
Washington. D. C. Aug. 32 The case
of the steamer Owego is surrounded at
the state department with much se-
crecy and the foregoing Berlin dispatch
was the first disclosure that a note
had been dispatched to the German
government.
The Owego having some Americans
on board reported having been fired
upon ten times in the Mediterranean
by a submarine early in the month.
She proceeded to port and it was not
made plain whether she had been fired
upon without warning or attempted to
escape.
Ma j- Hai e IVecn tiKtrian I. -Host
Secretary of state Lansing at the
time announced he was investigating
a case of a ship bearing Americans be-
ing attacked but he declined to give
the steamer's name or any of the de-
tails. The inquiry was begun when a
resumption of submarine warfare was
being suggested by the new operations
of submersibles.
The fact that the German govern
ment apepars to have no information
lend strength to a contention that the
attacking submarine ma hae been
Austrian.

Says Tried to Kill Self
Wife Interferes Killed
Globe Ariz Aug. 22. Michael Mije-
usnich charged with killing his wife
in Miami Friday night and who re-
turned to surrender himself at the
spot the tragedy occurred makes
solemn oath that he is not a murderer.
The couple had separated the woman
to keep a rooming house and the man
to go to Los Angeles for medical treat-
ment for what appears an incurabl-
ailment. Getting worse and with his
funds failing he purchased an automa-
tic revolver with thought of suicide
but he determined to see his wife and
children before he died.
He called upon his wife whom he
found kind and who offered him money
even slipping some into his Pocket
when he refused acceptance. At Up-
time seized w-ith a paroxysm of his
disease he pulled the pistol from his
pocket to end his useless existence.
The woman with quick appreciation
of the situation tried to tear the
weapon from his hands but only suc-
ceeded in directing its muzzle against
herself five bullets passing through
her body.

The War At a Glance
rpf!
HE offensive in the Balkans is
full swing with Russian
troops arriving in Saloniki
to fight with the entente forces
and Rumania reported about ready
to enter the war on th& siae of the
allies. Landing of Italian troops
is continuing and an unofficial dis-
patch reports Greek troops engaged
Bulgarians in the vicinity of Seres.
Athens advices indicate that Rus-
sian troops have been in the
Balkans more than three weeks
the initial contingent have appar-
ently arrived at Saloniki some time
previous to July 31. the news hav-
ing been just released by the
entente censorship.
It is only about 350 miles in an
air line from Russia to Greece at
the nearest point but Rumania and
Bulgaria lie between and to bridge
the distance the Russians were
obliged to travel thousands of
miles. As the Bosphorus is closed
by the Turks they were deprived
of the short sea route.
Today's dispatches regarding de-
velopments on the Macedonian
front indicate that the engage-
ment is becoming general all along
the 150 mile line. Servian troops
are reported to have captured two
forts while on the western end of
the line the Bulgarians claim
notable advances.
For the moment at least oper-
ations on the eastern and v estern
fronts are overshadowed by those
in the Balkans. The entente
offensive however is proceeding
uninterrrptedlj on tioth these
fronts The French and British
tod v both claim progress on the
Somme front
JH DENIES

Says Report Is Ridiculous; ?
Panama President-elect
Also Denies It.
Washington. D. C Aug. 22. At the
Japanese embassy todav it was said
that the published reports of alleged
Japanese aggressions in the isthmus
of Panama for acquisition of a coaling
station were considered part of a prop-
aganda to alarm the United States and
so ridiculous as to make a statement
of denial unnecessary.
Valdez Denies Report.
Havana Cuba. Aug. 22. Dr. Ramon
Maria Valdez president elect of Pana-
ma declared he knew nothing concern-
ing the reported sale of land at the
Atlantic end of the Panama canal to a
Spaniard named Feriianaez. allegedly
for use by Japanese interests. Dr. Val-
dez said the report that Fernandez had
obtained a large land concession
through him was absurd. Some time
ago Fernandez approached him on the
subject of buying land but the idea did
not appeal to him and he dismissed the
subject. Fernandez insisted on having
a letter of introduction to the secre-
tary of public works of Panama and
Dr' Valdez says he gave it to him. but
that he knew nothing further of the
movements of Fernandez.
Neither the government of Panama
nor himself Dr. Valdez continued are
in favor of concessions which are con-
trary to the existing treaties between
Panama and the United States.

"I don't mean that the tango Is to be

ASHINGTON D. C Aug. 22.
.'hile the railroad executives
were working today on a
counter proposal to president Wilson's
plan for averting the threatened rail-
way strike the cabinet went over the
situation fully and confidence was ex-
pressed by members that in the end
the railroads would accept the presi-
dent's plan. What assurances the cab-
inet had to go on for such a conclu-
sion were not disclosed.
Cabinet members agreed that it w as
not feasible to hurry the railroad ex-
ecutives into a decision as they had
many things to consider.
A counter proposal is expected to be
ihe next step but there was no out-
irarA dlcatn todar f when st woald
The answer of more than SO railroad
presidents including those of western
roads newly arrived to president Wil-
son's proposed plan for averting the
threatened strike was formulated to-
day. Every utterance of the railway
heads displayed opposition to the presi-
dent's suggestion but it was consid-
ered possible a counter proposal ac-
ceptable to the employes would be
made as the basis for further negotia-
tions. A committee had in charge the fram-
ing of a reply and it appeared doubtful
that it could be finished today. The
employes' committee of 640 continued
to mark time.
Committee Drafts Reply.
The following were announced as
members of the committee which will
work on president Wilson's proposal
and make a report to the assembled
executives:
Hale Holden. Burlington: W. W. At-
terbury Pennsylvania; Fairfax Harri
son Southern: Robert S. Lovett union
Pacific; E. P. Ripley. Santa Fe; A. H.
Smith New York Central; Frank Trum-
bull Chesapeake . Ohio; Daniel Wil-
lard Baltimore &. Ohio. While the
subcommittee was working the execu-
tives got in touch with their board of
directors.
The brotherhood meeting did nothing
and adjourned until 3 oclock this after-
noon. fe Explain Railroad Vleir.
Elisha Lee. chairman of the national
conference committee of railways is-
sued a statement of the railroads' at-
titude Monday nlsht. in which he said:
"That the railroads should grant un-
der threat of a national strike a $50-
000.000 wage preferment to a small i..i-
nonty of their employes without a
hearing before a public tribunal is in-
conceivable In a democracy like ours.
All questions at Issue wages hours
costs operating conditions are sub-
merged by the greater issue: shall ar-
bitration he abandoned in the settle-
ment of industrial disputes."
The statement suggests however
that the railroads stand ready to tako
whatever action the people and the
country desire. It concludes:
Public Opinion Must Decide.
"The weight of public opinion must
determine this Issue. We cannot be-
lieve that it is the calm judgment
of the country that we should sacri-
fice the principle of arbitration in in-
dustrial disputes under a threat to tie
up the commerce of the country."
"The demand is for an eight hour
day pay basis and this Is the inter-
pretation given by the president in the
proposal now before the railroads. The
employes have emphatically made it
known that they do not want eight
; hours work for eight hours pay a real
eight hour day.
Hon It t ork Out.
"A simple illustration will suffice to
show how the eight hour basisof pay
would work out. Take for example
a freight employe paid five cents a
mile with a day's guarantee of 55 for
100 miles or ten hours or less. On a
freight run of. say. only 60 miles In
ten hours he earns $5 for his time. It
is now nronoed that for this work he
be paid " for the first eight hours
and Sl.25 for the other two hours a
total of 6.25. Increasing bis pay 25
per cent-
"If. hy reason of traffic delays he is
held idle on a side track to that he
does not complete his trip until the
end of 12 hours he now is paid 6
for his time no matter how little work
he performs. The demand is to pay
him S7 50 for this 12 hours' service.
Hon- Extras Count I p.
"Meanwhile the employes would con
tinue to have the same opportunities
as now to make still larger pay on the
mileage basis. For example the man
on a five cent a mile rate makln. say.
130 miles in only seven hours earns
S7.50 for his day's work. If after this
he is called for a short period of ur-
gency work say only two hours he
gets another full day's guarantee of
". making $12 50 In this example for
only nine hours" service. '
