Count Von Bernstorff the am bassador, calling upon (Secretary Lan "iK uy uircciion or tits government almost at the moment the president was arranging the Joint session of congress was inrormeu that the secretary could not discuss the situation with him at tliis time. It was evident that the am bassador was seeking information of Judge Witmer Says Affidavits Form a Very Unsatisfactory Proof. In an ordVr handed down In United States court yesterday, Judge C.

B. Witmer refuses tho request of Attorney Paul G. Sherwood and II. XV. Archbald for a change of venue In the suits ot William J.

Cull'en, Max Friedlander. nnd John Flerro, of Hasleton. against Henry W. Stough, Illinois evangelist, who conducted a campaign in Hazleton two years ago. The requests for a change of venue from the Luzerne county courts were made by attorney for Stougli on the NO OFFER MADE TO MINERS THUS FAR (Continued from rage One), iients on tho demand would mean Indefinite delay.

Mr. said: "It may mean a little delay, but ou c.n say these conferences will not be permitted to go on all summer, not by any means." The statement given out by James Gorman, secretary of the sub committees, tonight merely had it that the eommittees had discussed the wage increase demand and that they would meet again tomorrow afternoon. Operator Won't Talk. The four members of the operators' committee. XV.

1.,. Connell. of Srranton; XV. F. Richards, S.

J. Warriner.and Mor Tis Williams, refused tonight to elaborate en that statement. The operators' committee was interested In reports the miners' leadors were ilaming.tho operators for the delay In reaching a settlement. AsKed if they wished to reply to that Imputation, Mr. Richards Raid: "No person or persona can correct all untruths." The operators would not say whether or not they will have an answer for tho Miners ready tomorrow.

In answer to a question as to the truth of published reports that the big coal operators have been for some time agreed on the concessions they will offer tho miners, the members of the committee denied knowledge of such an agreement. They were asked if such an agreement could be possible without their knowledge, and one of their number replied: "If the public has an impression that that this committee is made up of pup grounds that there are Influences at worlf tne American government's plans that it had been decided should not have It. The ambassador did state, however, to Secretary Lansing that while under no circumstances could Germany give up the submarine because It was being used in retaliation for Great Britain's food blockade, his country would attempt to use the submerelhles in accordance with International law and Germany's asuranccs to the United States. He added that In any case where Instructions to submarine commanders were violated, reparation would be made In accordance with the assurances given In the I usltania. Arabic and other cases.

Secretary Lansing told the ambassador he would see him again in a few days. When the ambassador learned of arrangements for tomorrow's joint session of congress, lie apparently was as much surprised as the remainder of official Washington.

Jacobs, of Hazleton, is the plaintiff, will be ttied In federal court by agreement of counsel. The order of Judge Witmer covers only the Cullen case. It having been agreed by counsel that the decision In this case would be binding on the other two. Tho Judge adds In the opinion that he does not care to go into lengthy details of the case. The order refers to the notoriety to which the cases have been subject by the press, Intimating that the attorneys for both sides have been active in furnishing the newspapers with briefs and other features of the case.

The order savs "Such practices must be condemned as not professional as lending to make the administration of Justice difficult indeed." Judge Witmer also says that he regards the affidavits furnished Easter Sunday is the one day of the year that every one wants to look their best. The Crane Marks Co. are prepared for vour dor's confidence remained unshaken to nlKht that friendly relations between his country and the United States would continue. He expressed his opinion that everything would come out all right in the end. Administration officials reflected President Wilson's determination to have an ending to diplomatic negotiations which they feel have brought only promises which have been unfu'fillcd and assurances which have turned out to be of disputed meaning.

Until today's cabinet meeting, statements were seml offlclally authorized to the effect that a communication to Germany was being prepared, which would be in the nature of an ultimatum, re by the attorneys to prove the prejudice pets who can be pulled around by strings, Shut impression should bo corrected at once.

Asked for a definite answer on a report the operators stand ready to offer the men a ten per cent, wage Increase, Jlr. Richards said he would rather talk of baseball. Expect Answer This Week.

But the miners are expecting an answer to their demands this week. They are confident of winning the eight hour day, a wage Incraese and some modified form Of recognition. When the attention of the operators' committee was called to the ill effect the prolonged negotiations are having on business in the anthracite belt, they said they deplored such a fact, but were doing all they could to expedite the against Stough as a very unsatisfactory kind of proof. The order In full follows: After hearing the parties and on due consideration of their showing, I have concluded to allow the motion to remand. 1.

It seems that whenever counsel made a move, inniun lnr bo much as the filinc of an additional brief, that the matter was regarded of greater importance to the general public than to the court, and their effort must 1 be necessarily also given to lie press. Knrh nrantice must be condemned as not professional and tending to make the administration of Justice difficult Indeed. There is nothing before me that convinces that the local court, comprised of sels in violation of Germany's pledges. With th4 announcement of the president's plan to lay the situation before congress that phase of the situation was beclouded, and no official would clear it up.

It was indicated that a communication of some sort would go forward to Germany, either simultaneously or subsequently to the president's address to congress, but its terms were less clearly indicated than at any time Ince officials alolwed it to be stated that such a document was being written. Tt has been generally indicated by officials that it would be a chronological Indictment of Germany's submarine policy as an offense against the laws of nations, and humanity, beginnig with the first submarine operations of the war and continuing down the Sussex and the later cases which have brought the situation to a new crisis. In conclusion. It was understood. It would be clearly stated that it was America's last word, and that nothing but a strict compliance with the principles for which the United States has all along contended could Insure a continuance of friendly relations between the two countries.

VOTING LIST SHOWS A BIG DISCREPANCY A discrepancy of fifty three votes between the voting list and the registery list as made by assessors came to light yesterday during the examination of witnesses in the Tadden election contest. The vast differences in the lists prompted Attorney Harry Needle, who Is master of the proceedings, to declare that the election board should be taken Into court on criminal charges for allowing some of the men, whose names do not appear on the registery list, to vote. The discrepancy in the list was shown when Benjamin Eynon, chief clerk In the county commissioners' office, was summoned liito the court room with the list. The registery list as made by assessors and tent to the commissioners' office shows 23S qualified voters in the Third ward of Dickson City. The voting list as found In the ballot box.

when it was "opened in court, shows that 351 men voted at the election. During the examination of one of the witnesses Referee Harry Needle declared that "The election board should be brought In on criminal charges for allowing such a conditon of affairs to Select your garment early in the week as possible as alterations take time; we can now promise for Easter Delivery Make sure by giving us as much time as possible, as our alterations are done by expert tailors, who know their business, and will not slight a garment to make a sale.
