(I. S. TAKES OVER
DENVER AND SALT
LAKE RAILROAD
Omaha Chamber's Appeal
Prompts Action to Continue
Operation of Line and
Avert Coal Famine.
Washington Bureau of Omaha Bee.
Washington, Aug. 23. (Special )
A telegram from the Omaha Cham
ber of Commerce to Senator Hitch
cock and Representative Lobeck pre
dicting disaster to the fuel interests
of Nebraska if the Denver & Salt
Lake Railroad company was permitted
to cease operations prompted Lobeck
to get busy with the railroad admin
istration. As a result of hurried calls on
Secretary McAdoo, Fuel Adminis
trator Garfield, Judge Chambers, in
charge of railroad traffic; Judge Payne
and others, Mr. Lobeck wired the
Chamber that the government would
assume all responsibility for the back
pay of employes, that Mr. McA loo's
department haa taken over the rail
road and 'hat lie was assured mat
ters would be settled and the road
operative again tomorrow.
' The telegram which occasioned
this hustle upon Lobeck's part states
that if immediate action be not taken
to have the Denver & Salt Lake
Railroad company resume operation
there would be a coal famine in Ne
braska. The road abanfhaiied service
yesterday owing to the inability of the
receiver to pay back wages due under
the administration act. The govern
ment has offered ample financial aid
provided the railroad administration
is put in charge of the property, but
the court resents interference and re
fuses to remove the receiver Special
legislation may be necessary as the
road is out of the government juris
diction. Strikers Will Go Back.
Denver, Aug. 23. When A F.
Whitney, spokesman for the joint
committee ofhe union employes of
the Denver & Salt Lake railroad
who have been on a strike received
a teleeram tonight from W. S Car
ter of the division of labor of the
railway administration at Washing
ton, telling him of the action of the
government in taking over the line,
he declared the strike was automat
ically off. The first train will leave
Denver over the road at 9. o'clock
tomorrow morning.
W. R. Freeman, receiver for the
road, said he had been urging the
government to take action for some
time.
Freight service on the line was sus
pended last Tuesday when the freight
train crews went on strike because
they had not received their share of
$242,000 which they claimed was
due them in back wages. Last
Wednesday passenger service oa the
line was suspended when the pas
senger train men joined in the strike.
Increased Wages and Bonus
Refused to Coal Miners
Washington, Aug. 23 Fuel ad
ministrator Garfield will not approve
a wage increase for coal miners, it
was strongly intimated today after
he had conferred witn oinciais oi
the. United Mine Workers of America.
Me will, however, put a stop t the
practice of operators paying bonuses
to the miners, through which system
they competed among themselves for
mine labor.
Dr. Garfield recalled to the mine
workers that they had signed the so-
called Washington wage agreement,
under which they agreed that waies
should not be increased during the
war. and is said to have told them
they could not justify any demand for
increased wages on the grcun l mat
the operators were paying bonuses.
The first action of the admiristrd
tion toward stopping bonuses was to
Her a reduction of 20 cents a ton
in the price of coal in the tam&ri.ige
and Hocking fields of Oh;o and of 5
cents a ton in all other fields of
that state except those in the Eighth
district.
The Ohio field officials of th- ad
ministration said; was the heart of the
bonus practice which has led to dis
satisfaction among the miners.

CHAPTER IX
"Dear Cousin Stanley."
IT was very ialy in November
that Mr. Smith, coming home one
attenuon, became instantly
aware that something very extraordi
nary had happened.
In the living room were gathered
Mr. Frank lilaisdcll, his wife, lane,
and their daughter, Mellicent. Melli
cent's cheeks were pink and her eyes
more starlikc than ever. Mrs. Jane's
cheeks, too. were pink. Her eyes
were excited, but incredulous. Air.
Frank was sli!! in his white work
coat, which lie wore behind the
counter, nut wiiuii lie never wore
upstairs in his home, lie held an
open letter in his hand.
It was an ecstatic cry from Melli-
cent that came first to Mr. Smith's
ears.
"Oh. Mr. Smith, Mr. Smith, you
can't gues what's happened! You
couldn't guos in a million years!"
"Xo? Something nice, I hope." Mr.
Smith was looking almost as happily
excited as Mellicent herself.
".Nice nice!'' Mellicent clasped
her hands In-fore lrer. "Why, Mr.
Smith, we, are going to have a hun
dred thousand "
"Mellicent, 1 wouldn't talk of it
yet," interfered her mother sharply.
"But, mother, it's no secret. It can't
be kept secret!"
"Of course not- if it's true. But it
isn't true," retorted the woman, with
STEAMER SUNK BY
U-BOAT 125 MILES
EAST OF MEW YORK
Submarine Which Shelled and
Torpedoed Freighter Diomed
Described as Large Craft
of Newest Type
New York, Aug. 23. Shelled and
torpedoed by a big German subma
rine just at sunrise Wednesday, the
British freighter Diomed was sunk
with the loss of two of its crew and
wounding of many others 125 miles
east of New York. Of the 104 sur
vivors, including a number of Chinese
seamen, rescued and brought here by
another steamship, many had been
cut by shrapnel and scalded by steam
when a torpedo crashed through the
boiler room.
Though attacked without warning,
the Diomed's gun crew answered the
German fire, but without effect.
After their 12th shot at the U-boat,
one of the submersible's shells dis
abled the freighter's steering gear.
The raider's commander then sup
planted gun fire with a torpedo. As
the projectile tore amidships through
the Diomed a seaman was killed.
Otiiers were caught in a flood of
steam as the boilers burst, and one
died aboard a lifeboat. The subma
rine, according to the British com
mander, was a large craft of the new
est type with deck guns fore and aft.
It cruised among the small boats, the
captain said, and offered medical as
sistance to his wounded, hut he de
clined, fearing a ruse to make some
of his men prisoners.
The Diomed a 4,700-ton steel ves
sel, was bound in ballast from Liver
pool to New York in service of the
British admiralty.
Three American Ships Sunk.
Washington, Aug. 23. Sinking of
three American ships in foreign wa
ters by German submarines was an
nounced today by the Navy depart
ment. The steamship Lake Edon, an
army chartered cargo transport was
sunk August 21, the United States
steamship Westbridge. of 8,800 tons,
August 16, and the United States ship
Cuhore, 7,300 tons, August 15.
Sixteen of the crew of the Lake
Edon are missing, 39 having been ac
counted for. These men were re
ported lost in the sinking of the West
Bridge.
The West Bridge and Cubore were
homeward bound when sunk.
Swedish Freighter Spared.
An Atlantic Port, Aug. 23. A
Swedish freighter which arrived here
today was stopped by a German sub
marine yesterday 7(J miles off this
port and held for an hour while the
U-boat commander examined its pa
papers. .The German officer told the
freighter's captain he allowed him to
go because he was engaged in carry
ing foodstuffs for his own country.
The captain was warned he was like
ly to be sunk if he continued in the
American trade.
"You would not sink us withotit
warning, would you?" one of the offi
cers of the Swedish ship asked.
"Don't be too sure about that best
not to take any chances." was the
reply.
Motion Picture Industry
Recognized as Essential
Washington, Aug. 23. The motion
picture industry in all its branches
has been recognized as an essential
industry by the war industries board.
Chairman Uaruch announced today
that this action had been taken in line
with Provost Marshal General
Crowder's ruling under the work or
fight regulation that the industry af
forded useful occupation.
The erection of new picture
theaters, however, will not be per
mitted during the war. Saving of ma
terials used in the manufacture of
films, several of which arc essential
in the production of explosives will
be effected by a ruling of the board
that only one negative may be aken
of each picture. The industry aNo

Smith, looking suddenly a little less
happy."
"Leave.a hundred thouand dollars
apiece to three distant relatives he

"But he was our cousin-- on said

"The letter did not say he had j

Then abruptly he turned to Mr. I
Smith. ' Here, read this, please, and

if somebody else has."
Mr. Smith took the letter. A close i
observer might have noticed that his
hand shook a little. The letterhead:
carried the name of a Chicago tirm, ;
but Mr. Smith did not glance at that.
He plunged at once into the text of
the letter. j
"Aloud, pliv.se, Mr. Smith. 1 want1
