SUBLIME L7Af! : GASES BLEARED

WASHINGTON, epi 17. Germao ot0. to. th . United State m'ertlnr that there was no evidence to 'bow that the Allan liner -Hesperian was sunk by a submarine, and the acceptance of .this explanation KJbjr the state departmeatares th facta are chanced later, clca correspondence on the" submarind .'qujwtioB- -between the two governments. Hereafter the negotiations will be continued through Informal conversations between Ambassador Gerard and 1 the- Berlin 'tor-, elgn office,, and between Ambassador von Bernstorff f and" Secretary1 Lansing. - :-if. ' Toes egotiatkas now have been suspended temporarily until Berlin directs the next move, Count von Bernstorff already has Informed: his government of Washington's . impatience With the last Arabic note and of President Wilson's Insistence that nothing short of a complete disavowal of the intention of the German submarine to injure ..Americans will continue the unbroken, relations between the two powerf.-"'-""-"" --- - The' state department, . moreover, having forwarded to Berlin a complete summary of the affidavits of Arabic survivors, including many Americans, feels that the German foreign office mast alter its position once it is in possession of all facts In the case. And the Arabic facts are unanimous In the statement that none of the survivorB saw the-jBuhmarine, when it is inferred the liner could have had no intention" to Tarn something - which had not been observed. - .... Officials, therefore, today declared that, the final verdict in the matter must be rendered on the evidence now in and without more delay than is nee essary for a full consideration of the facts by the German authorities. DARING AVIATOR IS RETURNED TO SWISS PRISON Violates Parole and France Forces Gilbert to Go Back to Prison Camp. PARIS, Sept. 17. According to a Story told here today, Eugene Gilbert, the daring French aviator, found escape from interment in Switzerland an easy matter. He used - three 'disguises but these were hardly necessary. Since his arrival In Paris, the aviator has been sent back to Switzerland by the French government for violating his parole. It seems, his friends declare, that the message from Gilbert saying be bad taken back his word not to try to escape for some unaccountable reason was not brought to the attention of the proper Swiss authorities until after the prisoner was gone. Trouble with bis aeroplane forced Gilbert to descend on neutral soil in June and he was sent, to the village of Hospenthal, where he gave his word not to leave and so enjoyed" considerable liberty. But he found life in Hospenthal quite dull compared to the exciting existence of a war flyer. So a friend concocted a plot to assist in an escape and Gilbert sent a letter to the Swiss government taking back his parole. The friend sent Gilbert a telephone message that the flowers along a certain brook were so beautiful he ought lo pick some. ' They met at the brook and arranged tare detai of the plot. The friend then bought a false beard and moustache and some clothing to fit Gilbert in Geneva. Still unwatched. Gilbert went to the brook a second time, where he quickly became a bearded laborer.'. -By a roundabout route they reached ? the railroad station; passing two sentries who asked a few questions.; In the station Gilbert hid behind a wheelbarrow and his companion behind a cart as a Swiss patrol passed. A policeman did not seem to suspect them, but a civilian in the trainshed eyed them closely and twice seemed on the point of giving an alarm. However, the two got aboard and arrived at Lucerne without detection. There they entered an automobile and Gilbert changed his disguise to that of an automobile driver, using a- new moustache. Just before they reached the frontier he changed to his third disguise, that of a tourist. The customs collector ran through their baggage hurriedly and they were soon in France. All through the flight Gilbert kept his military cross, the only rtltle on his person which might have liven him away.. - LAW FIRM WIPED OUT. HAMMOND, Ind.,' Sept? 17.

Foreign Money Melted in New York Assay Office and Prepared for Philadelphia Mint BY GOTHAM KNICKERBOCKER. NEW YdRJC, Sept. i7A-Good-by, English sovereign. All hail American eagle! -;' -v. - -'ri? rr V : "- You have, beard a lot lately about the dollar ruling the -world and-some undoubtedly: have been a bit: puzzled by all this talk of drops in foreign exchange, balance of trade and-the like; K .y.'vS . -v.. : But if you had been down in the big United States - assay office - with me last week you could have seen some thing that a child could nnderstandtwo million pounds of English gold disappearing, and rough, dirty gold bricks taking their places. ' The bricks will soon become .good ; American money. :-- : New York has recently got three gold shipments from England, each of about $20,000,000, brought by a fast British cruiser, to Halifax and. then carried -overland with elaborate precautions. ..; - , .; - The first two' consignments were in United States coin some we have had to ship over to Europe in other years when the trade balance was the other way. ' Then the Bank of England evidently ran out of. eagles, for in the last shipment, were, $7,850,000 in United States cbTns and "$11,815,0007 inaovereigns-''--.-:''-- -- . Mutilating Coins. , -The British treat our ; eagles most shamefully. Theye ship: them by weight. To bring each, bag up to the required heft they chdp coins' Into many triangular bits and add these piece by piece until the scales tip. The sub-treasury here credits the importer only with the whole coins and the chips are turned over to the assay office which' melts them up into bricks. These chips amounted to several thousand dollars in the recent three big shipments. As to .the sovereigns, the assay office found Itself with 2,550,000 on its bands. The importers were anxious to get the benefit of the amount. A law has been passed allowing them to be credited with the sovereigns as bullion without melting them up, but there has been a dispute over the deductions to be made for wear on the coins, dirt and other considerations which could not be settled and this has made the law a dead letter. How They are Melted. Uncle Sam charges $1 a thousand Ounces for melting the geld. This does not cover the cost by a lot. It takes one's breath away at first to look around the. furnace room of the assay office, for gold is lying about in an apparently most careless way. The sovereigns are heaped into wooden troughs. The furnace men wear heavy woolen' ; shirts " and 'asbestos gloves to protect their bodies from the intense heat. The gold is melted in rough three gallon crucibles which rest upon a grate on which jets spray crude oil. A fierce flame beats around the crucibles. A workman seizes a few pounds of gold coins, protects his face with one hand and throws them into the retort. In a few minutes the mass is a golden liquid. Grease' the Moulds. Another workman ladles the precious metal into What looks like extra large muffin tins. These moulds are greased as a cook would, too, and the lard flames up as the hot gold strikes. The 2,000,000 sovereigns are now nothing more than a stack of dirty, charcoal smudged bricks, each worth about $7,000. They are smaller than a building brick, but weigh between twenty-five and thirty pounds apiece. .They - are not as careless as they look at the assay office, however. The gold given to each furnace man is weighed before being given to him and the bricks he produces must con

Fargo, New York, representatives of 300 foreign lan guage' newspapers today conferred with W. J. Bryan on the suggestion that the latter go to Europe to confer with Pope Benedict and leaders of belligerent and neutral nations in the interest of peace. Bryan has signified his intention of making the trip if he can be assured that it will make for peace. Dr. Fargo presented to the former secretary of , state the list of the' members of his organization, declaring that they represented every nation now engaged in the war with the exception of France. He denied point blank that the movement was in any way in the interest of the Teutonic belligerents.- v . ;, ,' ;: JEWS WILL OBSERVE DAY OF ATONEMENT Beginning '' with ' sundown tonight and ending at sundown Saturday evening, the Jewish holiday, "The Day of Atonement," will be observed by a large number of Jews in this eity.

BERLIN, Sept 17. The Petrograd "Novoe Vremya, several weeks ago published a sensational story of aa alleged German atrocity, it reported that a fourteen-year-old boy, Tadeuas Ustarbek. had been tied to a tree and shot by. German, soldiers, at Lencsyca In Poland, because he tried to smuggle lettera to Russian- risoners. The execution of the boy caused A .sanguinary mutiny among the prisoners, the paper continued, and the father of the boy was sentenced to ten years of hard labor:, f . The German military authorities promptly .started an investigation, with the result that, the . whole . story was oranaea as a pure "fake." Mayor Koppel and twelve citizens of Lencsyca have declared under oath that no family by the name of Ustarek ever lived in the town, that not a single person nas oeen arrested or, a since me uermans took posses-' slon of the place and that the only prisoners seen there were about a hundred. Cossacks and Tartars who passed through on a railroad train which did not stop at the station. F-TYPE SUBMARINES OREERED C0N0EME0 WASHINGTON. Sent. 17.
