Scheele, head of the New Jersey Agricultural and Chemical Co., was being sought ln a dozen cities today on the charge that he invented fire bombs placed on ships carrying munitions to the allies, a new line of investigation was opened to the New York police working on the Garman bomb plot which has already resulted in eight men being arrested. The police learned that a trackman in Hoboken, N. J., took two small cases from the plant where bombs were manufactured to a South Brooklyn pier the day before $6,000;000 damage waa dooe to the pier ahd two freight steamers moored there several weeks ago. Another trackman aald today he had carted to a small tramp steamer in Brooklyn several large cases which he understood were to go to Copenhagen. "These cases were marked fertilizer," he said, "bat I am satisfied tbat they contained gun cotton and other explosives for the Germans." Dr. Scheele that far has evaded the thorough hunt made by the police aad tbey fear his capture will prove a difficult matter. The chemical company's head is alleged by the authorities not oaly to have invented the bombs, but alao to bave directed their "planting" where they oould do' the greatest damage.

Action haa been decided upon and that action is merely being deferred from day tm day until the case is complete." The above statement was made to the International Newa Servlee by one of the very few mea who know the naiad of President Wilson. It sums up the. international situation ttat today confronts the United States. Although Mexico admittedly la a real problem, the president believes that It wttl yield to diplo matic treatment. Bat the German situation, he is now convinced, will not The attack oa the ehannel steamer Sussex, the president believes, was so flagrant aad unwarranted that It cannot be excused. And the denial, the tASS ot which was considered carefully at today's cabinet meeting, is declared to have been "complete proof* that the Sussex waa torpedoed without warning aad ia "an insult to the intelligence of a great nation."

CLEVELAND CAR E Stanley Rejects Union's Requests and Says Arbitration is Useless —— ' * WANTS OPEN SHOP PLAN TO PREVAIL Wants Two-Year Contract Instead of Single Year Agreement International News Service. Cleveland, O., April 14.—President J. J. Stanley, of the Cleveland Ball* way Co., today answered the demands ot the carmen's union' for a twenty- five per eeat salary increase aad a change in schedules by flatly refusing to treat with the union on those demands. He offered to meet with the union leaders lor consideration^ of tae otber minor changes they demanded but asserted it waa futile even to discuss aaiary increases or changes in schedule which would give §0 per cent ot the company's employes a full work* tag day. Stanley told the union It had a right under tbe company's present agreement with It to demand arbitration ot these two points, but asserted It would be a "waste of time aat money" as the company could not live np to tbe demands of the union even it they were granted by arbitrators. Tbls answer to the union's two big demands, coupled with demands for sharp changes in the agreement which carmen say would be hurtful, brought a Btreet car situation that is regarded by everybody concerned aa critical in jthe extreme. William Ray, secretary of _m carmen's union, would not admit the possibility of a atrike «f the motormen and conductors. He said tbe union leaders would confer with the company ofllcials and endeavor to harve their demands acceded to. If that tailed, he said, arbitration would be insisted upon by tbe union. * Stanley's demands, as he promised three days ago, were such as to malce tbe union leaders "sit np and take notice." Stanley demanded: An "open shop" where non-union men would be as welcome aa union mea The present agreement calls for the discharge at the end of sixty days of aay man who refused to Join the union* The abolition Of arbitration in ca. ses of discipline of men, with a provision that Stanley, Instead of a board of arbitrators, shall be the final court ot appeal. No union badge or other emblem shall be worn against the objections of the company. This is the point which brought the Toledo strike, which tied up service for thirteen days That tha new agreement reached by the union and the company stand without change tor two years instead ot one.

Union College— fair co-eds and mere men—were la a waggish mood again early tbts morning aad they played all sorts of jokes on eacb other. The occasion tor the stunts was the Pan-Hellenic banquet held last night at the Lexington Hotel. While this banquet was being enjoyed, it ls said, a number of the girl students invaded the chapter houses of the Alpha Tau Omega, Sigma Alpha Ep- silon and Sigma Nu fraternities and "stacked' 'things in great Shape. At the A. T. O. house on East College street a raid was made on the boys* chiffoniers and bureaus aad they gathered ln more "than a score ot neckties. These were tied together by the co-eds and festooned about the banister leading to the second floor. A leg was broken from one of the tables in the big living room and chairs were turned topsyturvy. In one of the felolws' rooms photos of "hts girt" wer eseized and the girls after taking a mental picture of "her," tore the photoB to bits for she, it is said, was not a Mt. Union girl. " $4fc After the raid oa the A. T. O. house, a visit was made to tbe S. A. E. house where eggs, it is asserted, were takea from the kitchen. These were thea carried to tbe Sigma Nu house at College street and Union avenue and placed under cushions and on chairs. It ls not recorded that the fellows omeleted any ot the eggs. Other pranks, more or less innocently mischievous, were played aad thea the girls (returned quietly to their rooming quarters in Elliott hall in time for "light out" at 11 p. m. When the frat men returned to their chapter houses it did aot take more than a casual glance to know that the "naughty girls" had again been mischievous. A hasty council •t war was oalled and the students made baste to Elliott hall early this morning where tbey stamped the grass and pounded tbe earth in an effort to vent their wrath on the "wicked girls." Then after pawing the earth, the fellows made a feint at attempting to break Into the dormitory and tbe matron, Mra. Housel, was aroused. It ls aald she summoned'tbe police and President W. H.

Cleveland, O., April 14.—Miss Aaaa Gemmell, Salem, O., school teacher, today pleaded guilty before federal Judge Clark, to sending poison pen letters to various residents of her home city. Judge Clark fined Miss Gemmell $100. The plea of guilty was entered througb Attorney J. C Boone, of Salem, acting for Miss GemmelL According to Boone, the trouble started through the friendship of Miss Gemmell and a young man who formerly lived in Salem. "TMs mast often escorted Miss Gemmell home evenings, but they were merely friends," said Boone. "Certain persons la Salem then began to annoy Miss Gemmell about this man. Tbey would call her on tbe telephone and tell her she had been jilted, make remarks to ber ta chorea, aad ta fact everywhere sbe went ahe would he stared at "This sort of nuisance drove the girl to desperation.

After sn idleness of two days all cars were running Friday morning an tils Stark Electric and Cleveland, Alliance and Mahoning Valley electric lines, operating on regular schedule which was inaugurated following an agreement reached about one o'clock Friday morning between the above companies snd the striking employes. Ths announcement of the settlement of all difficulties followed a conference held between General Manager F. L. Mowry and the committee of the employes, consisting of Harry W. Whitacre, chairman; W. H. Baldwin, John Spencer, I. A. Watson, D. H, Bennett, C. F. Miller and Isaac H. Mell. The men are granted practically every demand and two concessions which were not asked. About 12:30 a. m. Mr. Mowry called at the headquarters of the employes in ths Central Labor hall and at once presented sn agreement which was read snd, as stated above, accepted. The agreement was then signed by Mr. Mowry, representing the two companies, and by the committee of employes. As soon ss the conference ended arrangements were made to stsrt the cars upon the regular sche dule and this was followed out. As has heretofore been published, under the infcrease given the employes on January 1 st, they have been receiving pay as follows: Stark Electric line: First year, 24 cents; second year, 25,cents; third year, 26 cents; fourth year, 27 cents; fifth year, 28 cents; after ten years, 29 cents. Alliance city line, 20 cents per hour. Cleveland, Alliance and Mahoning -Valley line: First year, 20 cents.; second year, 22 cents; third year, 23 cents; fourth year, 24 cents; fifth year, 25 cents. The schedule of wages asked and which the companies ^ave granted will be found in the *.grcemeht, a copy of which appears elsewhere in this issue of The Review. It will be noted that the employes have been granted' practically everything that they were asking, together with several items not asked, among these being the paying of 25 cents a day to motormen and conductors who act as instructors of new men, and the paying of 20 cents each for reports of accidents filed .at the office by the crews. Neither of these items was asked by the employes. Manager Mowdy Happy Too When seen at bia office Friday morn ing, Mr. Mowry was in a cheerful mood and stated that be bad just had a few hours of restful sleep. It was quite evident that tbe settlement of tbe differences and tbe resumption of service lifted a great weight from bis shoulders. When asked to make a statement, Mr. Mowry declined to talk for publication, advising his questioner to see the men and let them make any statement that might be given out. That the differences between tha employes and the company bas been amicably adjusted is most pleasing to the general public, which was inconvenienced considerably by the two days' tleup of tba car system. It Is also to tbe credit of the employes that not an act of any kind occurred to mar the friendly relationship betweea the employes and officials. While the company was prepared to man its cars with Imported men it i» Indeed fortunate that such action was aot taken, tor although no one for a minute held' the idea that the employes would do anything to prevent ths running ot cars, should the company attempt lt, there was a feeling thst some outsider whose symjathy was with the striking employes might step beyond the bounds and commit some act ot violence which would have been most unfortunate. In fact remarks were heard upon the street which indicated that an attempt to run cars with Imported men should be resented Those who overheard such conversation at once advised against any un* lawful Sets. Aad tbat the controversy has been brought to a satisfactory ending is pleasing to aU.. Oat Tbelr Bonus Money, Too The company announced, Wednesday night, that taa bonus money Smm the men, and which has been delayed, was at the company's office ready fer those to wbom tt was due. This money Is now being paid to the employes and in many Instances lt amounts to a goodly sum. The men are also being paid tor their time op to the data tbat tbey quit work and Inaugurated the st rike.

CLEVELAND CAR E Stanley Rejects Union's Requests and Says Arbitration is Useless —— ' * WANTS OPEN SHOP PLAN TO PREVAIL Wants Two-Year Contract Instead of Single Year Agreement International News Service. Cleveland, O., April 14.—President J. J. Stanley, of the Cleveland Ball* way Co., today answered the demands ot the carmen's union' for a twenty- five per eeat salary increase aad a change in schedules by flatly refusing to treat with the union on those demands. He offered to meet with the union leaders lor consideration^ of tae otber minor changes they demanded but asserted it waa futile even to discuss aaiary increases or changes in schedule which would give §0 per cent ot the company's employes a full work* tag day. Stanley told the union It had a right under tbe company's present agreement with It to demand arbitration ot these two points, but asserted It would be a "waste of time aat money" as the company could not live np to tbe demands of the union even it they were granted by arbitrators. Tbls answer to the union's two big demands, coupled with demands for sharp changes in the agreement which carmen say would be hurtful, brought a Btreet car situation that is regarded by everybody concerned aa critical in jthe extreme. William Ray, secretary of _m carmen's union, would not admit the possibility of a atrike «f the motormen and conductors. He said tbe union leaders would confer with the company ofllcials and endeavor to harve their demands acceded to. If that tailed, he said, arbitration would be insisted upon by tbe union. * Stanley's demands, as he promised three days ago, were such as to malce tbe union leaders "sit np and take notice." Stanley demanded: An "open shop" where non-union men would be as welcome aa union mea The present agreement calls for the discharge at the end of sixty days of aay man who refused to Join the union* The abolition Of arbitration in ca. ses of discipline of men, with a provision that Stanley, Instead of a board of arbitrators, shall be the final court ot appeal. No union badge or other emblem shall be worn against the objections of the company. This is the point which brought the Toledo strike, which tied up service for thirteen days That tha new agreement reached by the union and the company stand without change tor two years instead ot one.

Union College— fair co-eds and mere men—were la a waggish mood again early tbts morning aad they played all sorts of jokes on eacb other.

While this banquet was being enjoyed, it ls said, a number of the girl students invaded the chapter houses of the Alpha Tau Omega, Sigma Alpha Ep- silon and Sigma Nu fraternities and "stacked' 'things in great Shape. At the A. T. O. house on East College street a raid was made on the boys* chiffoniers and bureaus aad they gathered ln more "than a score ot neckties. These were tied together by the co-eds and festooned about the banister leading to the second floor. A leg was broken from one of the tables in the big living room and chairs were turned topsyturvy. In one of the felolws' rooms photos of "hts girt" wer eseized and the girls after taking a mental picture of "her," tore the photoB to bits for she, it is said, was not a Mt. Union girl. " $4fc After the raid oa the A. T. O. house, a visit was made to tbe S. A. E. house where eggs, it is asserted, were takea from the kitchen. These were thea carried to tbe Sigma Nu house at College street and Union avenue and placed under cushions and on chairs. It ls not recorded that the fellows omeleted any ot the eggs. Other pranks, more or less innocently mischievous, were played aad thea the girls (returned quietly to their rooming quarters in Elliott hall in time for "light out" at 11 p. m. When the frat men returned to their chapter houses it did aot take more than a casual glance to know that the "naughty girls" had again been mischievous. A hasty council •t war was oalled and the students made baste to Elliott hall early this morning where tbey stamped the grass and pounded tbe earth in an effort to vent their wrath on the "wicked girls." Then after pawing the earth, the fellows made a feint at attempting to break Into the dormitory and tbe matron, Mra. Housel, was aroused. It ls aald she summoned'tbe police and President W. H.

Judge Clark fined Miss Gemmell $100. The plea of guilty was entered througb Attorney J.

After sn idleness of two days all cars were running Friday morning an tils Stark Electric and Cleveland, Alliance and Mahoning Valley electric lines, operating on regular schedule which was inaugurated following an agreement reached about one o'clock Friday morning between the above companies snd the striking employes. Ths announcement of the settlement of all difficulties followed a conference held between General Manager F. L. Mowry and the committee of the employes, consisting of Harry W. Whitacre, chairman; W. H. Baldwin, John Spencer, I. A. Watson, D. H, Bennett, C. F. Miller and Isaac H. Mell. The men are granted practically every demand and two concessions which were not asked. About 12:30 a. m. Mr. Mowry called at the headquarters of the employes in ths Central Labor hall and at once presented sn agreement which was read snd, as stated above, accepted. The agreement was then signed by Mr. Mowry, representing the two companies, and by the committee of employes. As soon ss the conference ended arrangements were made to stsrt the cars upon the regular sche dule and this was followed out. As has heretofore been published, under the infcrease given the employes on January 1 st, they have been receiving pay as follows: Stark Electric line: First year, 24 cents; second year, 25,cents; third year, 26 cents; fourth year, 27 cents; fifth year, 28 cents; after ten years, 29 cents. Alliance city line, 20 cents per hour. Cleveland, Alliance and Mahoning -Valley line: First year, 20 cents.; second year, 22 cents; third year, 23 cents; fourth year, 24 cents; fifth year, 25 cents. The schedule of wages asked and which the companies ^ave granted will be found in the *.grcemeht, a copy of which appears elsewhere in this issue of The Review. It will be noted that the employes have been granted' practically everything that they were asking, together with several items not asked, among these being the paying of 25 cents a day to motormen and conductors who act as instructors of new men, and the paying of 20 cents each for reports of accidents filed .at the office by the crews. Neither of these items was asked by the employes. Manager Mowdy Happy Too When seen at bia office Friday morn ing, Mr. Mowry was in a cheerful mood and stated that be bad just had a few hours of restful sleep. It was quite evident that tbe settlement of tbe differences and tbe resumption of service lifted a great weight from bis shoulders. When asked to make a statement, Mr. Mowry declined to talk for publication, advising his questioner to see the men and let them make any statement that might be given out. That the differences between tha employes and the company bas been amicably adjusted is most pleasing to the general public, which was inconvenienced considerably by the two days' tleup of tba car system. It Is also to tbe credit of the employes that not an act of any kind occurred to mar the friendly relationship betweea the employes and officials. While the company was prepared to man its cars with Imported men it i» Indeed fortunate that such action was aot taken, tor although no one for a minute held' the idea that the employes would do anything to prevent ths running ot cars, should the company attempt lt, there was a feeling thst some outsider whose symjathy was with the striking employes might step beyond the bounds and commit some act ot violence which would have been most unfortunate. In fact remarks were heard upon the street which indicated that an attempt to run cars with Imported men should be resented Those who overheard such conversation at once advised against any un* lawful Sets. Aad tbat the controversy has been brought to a satisfactory ending is pleasing to aU.. Oat Tbelr Bonus Money, Too The company announced, Wednesday night, that taa bonus money Smm the men, and which has been delayed, was at the company's office ready fer those to wbom tt was due. This money Is now being paid to the employes and in many Instances lt amounts to a goodly sum. The men are also being paid tor their time op to the data tbat tbey quit work and Inaugurated the st rike.
