LURED BK Joseph Stout Fighting For $25,000 Which He Deposited in Chicago Bank. For Stout. more than three years Joseph 105T Riverside dr.. president of the South Pend Life Insurance Co.. sought to recover from the American Hanking association, s-ucccssor to the American bank, of Chicago some $25,000 deposited in the concern. The money according to .Mr. stouis latest bill of complaint tiled in the Chicago circuit court was placed there after Mr. and Mrs. John W. Worthington, owners of the bank had dazzled him with seeming wealth and iniluence in Chicago. v Worthington had a pleasant home, not palatial but luxurious. His wife was handsome, wore diamonds and looked her pait that of a reigning queen of society when she was draped in clininc: evening gowns, resplendent with diamonds. Stout declared Tuesday morning that tho Worthingtons had claimed to him that Mrs. Worthington was heir to a fortune of $ 1.500.000 from her mother and that a large portion of the fortune was invested in the bank. "It looked ilt edye to me-" said Stout. T had ncer been entertained like that before. They blindfolded me and then took nv money which I was only too glad to offer." Stout said he had collected about $2,000 from the concern, which leaves a balance of $2.7(0 yet due him. The matter has been the subject of extensive litigation in the Chicago courts, and Stout says he does not know whether he will be able to collect the rest of the money or not. He has already spent a small fortune in fightinjr the case. "It is Mrs. Worthington we are after now." he said Tuesday. "Worthington told me that he was well known in the eastern cities and states, particularly New York. 1 found out later that the only town in New York (hat knew him was nssinlng where he spent some time at Sing Sing prison." Stout admitted Tuesday that Chicago's gay life was an open book after his experience with the Worthingtons. "They sure opened my yes." he commented to a reporter Tuesday. sTEAMEU QEEENSTOWN. is srxK.

That Reply Has Been Drafted is Indicated After Long Conference of Officials. SESSION CONTINUES TWO AND HALF HOURS No Division of Opinion Regarding Policy Laid Down by United States in Reply. WASHINGTON, Julv 20 The American reply to the German noto today was considered at a cabinet meeting lasting two and a half hours. The final draft of the note was laid before the meeting by Pres't Wilson and Scc'y of State Lansing and it is said a statement of the attitude of the United States government will be made later today. That a reply to Germany has been drafted and that the attitude of the United .States has been defined clearly was indicated by various members of the cabinet, although they would say nothing definite tin this point. There was no division of opinion regarding tne policy determined upon bv the president. It has seemed to many oflicials of the U. S. government that continual delays throtmh diplomatic correspondence can not benefit our government in the present situation. Germany's counter proposals havo proved unacceptable to the United States and the disposition of the kaiser's government to argue tho merits and demerits of the jJritish blockade and the submarine campaign in retaliation is regarded as entirely apart of the issue raised with the U. S. by the sinking of the Lusitania. Mu-t Sco Point. Under these circumstances, it is believed the note will inform Germany that the United States stands firmly by her former attitude regarding the safety of her citizens w hile on the seas, that she cannot recognize tho British bbvekade or any other matter as extenuating circumstance when American lives are sacriticed and that this government will not await Germany's recognition in action, if not in words, of the principles for which the United States stands. A note, so worded will be a diplomatic way of informing Germany that no matter what she says on paper, this government expects her to act in accordance with international law and the position taken by Uncle Same in his original communication touching the present serious controversy. Sec'y Lansing conferred for an hour before the cabinet meeting with Pres't Wilson and it is understood presented to the executive practically a complete draft of the note to be sent to Germany. This draft was read to the cabinet. Pecause of this conference the president called oft his regular Tuesday interview with the newspaper men. OKI) MRS WASHINGTON. pito4ii:. July 20 Sec'y of 1 hat State Iansinp: today stated an official investigation of the submarine attack upon the steamship Orduna has been ordered. The inquiry will be conducted by oflicials of the treasury department nnd was ordered following receipt of a letter at the state department from W. O. Thompson, of Chicago, who was aboard the Orduna. Mr. Thompson's testimony related to the shelling of. the Orduna after the torpedo had failed to hit the vessel. It is expected the inquiry will be in charge of Dudley Field Malone, collector of the port at New York and will consist of taking affidavits from passengers, officers and crew of the ship. The state department, it was indicateo. would require positive proof that the Orduna was attacked without warning before making it a base for representations to Germany. the end of the week all of the j.'O.OOO men now out would heve returned to their labors. Proposals of compromise were submitted to the strike leaders this forenoon by Lloyd-George, Pres't Punciman of the board of trade, and Pres't Henderson of the boars of education, the last named being one of the most powerful labor leaders of the country. These proposals were favorably reyarded by the miners' chiefs and they v ere presented at a special conference of the strike leaders. The dispute had teen narrowed down to the matter of fixing a minimum wage scale.

Kcdtirld of Chicago speaking on arly marriages at the session of the purity congress declared that a great man is always the product of succesive generations of parent of obi ape. He pointed to Confucius. Moses. Jesse and King David as examples. He said that evolution shows that those who work hard for a long period are able to conceive better children.

BE "LET ALDNE' Slayer of Stanford White Refuses to Talk of Future Plans After Seeing Mother. PITTS PIT UGH, Pa.. July 20. Strange as it may seem Harry K. Thaw wants to be "let alone." Today when pressed for some definite statement as to his future plans, Thawsaid he had nothing to say. "Please do not bother me any more." Thaw said. "I am just a Pittsburgher now. I am going to stick to mother for a while. That is all I can tell you." He would say no more. "Now that I've got it, what am I going to do with it?" roomed best today to express the attitude of Harry Thaw, back homo again after nine long vears. If the slayer of Stanford White, enjoying the moment of liberty for which his faithful gray-haired mother Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw, who has tho sympathy of alt Pittsburgh had fought by his side and spent, reports say, more than a million dollars, has any definite plans for his future he has not imule them known Tuesday. Since his arrival at 6:25 Monday night in East Liberty, a suburb. Thawhas said nothing more about his proposed divorce from Evelyn Nesbit Thaw and his projected automobile tour to the San Francisco exposition. Thaw has not seen newspaper men or Ptitsburgh people without his mother being present and It was believed that Mrs. Thaw has "put the lid on" Harry's talkativeness and persuaded him to be less loquacious about his personal affairs. "Thank God. mother, I am glad to be home with you again," was Thaw's greeting to his mother when she met him with outstretched hands1 on the veranda of the Peechwood hlvd. residence which new home he had never seen. "Words cannot express my joy, my dear boy, in this moment for which I have so long waited," replied the mother. At this a cheer went uj and it appeared that Thaw had been forgiven by the public of his native city. Monday there was an air of hostility toward Thaw on the part of sympathizers Pittsburghers. They criticized Thaw severely for not coming immediately after Justice Hendrick had cleared him last Friday on the j:h.000 bail. They could not see the reason for the automobile dash across NewJersey and the days spent at Atlantic City and Philadelphia. They therefore were disposed to be cool to Thaw but his affectionate greeting to his mother and her apparent acceptance of Thaw's delaved arrival as a matter of course mollified the crowd on the lawn and they immediately took this slayer back into the good graces of Pittsburgh.That is. he b.s been accepted by the sKjrt of people who crowded the station platform when he arrived anil lined Peechwood hlvd. to cheer him. Put this is "the city of millionaires" and none of that set Tuesday had made any move to welcome Thaw beak. wms wis opt. OWATONNA. Minn..

"Frank's condition is more satisfactory today than it lias been at any time since he was wounded." declared Warden Smith of the s-tate farm Tuesday.
