BEOJN RECEIVES NOTE
RENEWING U. S. STAND
ON LUSITANIA SINKING
Reiterated Demands for
Sanctity of American
Lives on High Seas Crux
of New Text Delivered to
Berlin.
WASHINGTON.-' Juno 10,-PrcsUlent
"Wilson's second note to Germany con
cerning tho sinking of tho Lusltanla,
which proclpltotod tho crisis In tho Cab
Inot culminating In tho resignation of
William J. Bryan as Secretary of State,
was believed hero to havo reached Am
bassador Gerard in Berlin early today.
It was anticipated that tho Ambassador
would present tho communication imme
diately to tho German Foreign Offlco. It
will be given out tonight for publication
tomorrow morning.
It Is understood here that tho German
Government will not make answer to the
new message from the United States un
til after Meyer Gerhard, tho Bpeclal cn-
Yoy chosen by Count von Bernstorft, he
uerman Ambassador, to outline tne
Amorican point of view to the Govern
ment at Berlin, arrives and explains the
situation. This, it la estimated, will tako
at leaBt a week or ton days.
It Is realized that the "Wilson note,
though friendly In tone, permits no ex
tended parley. The firm demands of this
Government for freedom of the sens
must be met by concessions of the
Kaiser's Government or by an equally
Arm refusal. There is believed to be no
half-way ground.
The note to Germany Is not an ultima
tum, It was learned from a high official
source today.
The note was submitted to former Sec
retary of State Bryan yesterday as a
courtesy. Ho scanned It Just before It
was signed by acting Secretary Lansing.
It was President Wilson's personal de
sire to have Mr. Bryan see the note be
foro It was sent.
White House officials today declined to
discuss the contents nor would they com
ment on the report that a note Is going
to Great Britain shortly on the Inter
ference with Amorican commerce which
has been a feature of British marine
policy.
It Is planned that the note shall be
given to the American public tomorrow
morning. Meanwhile the President and
his close advisors discourage specula
tion as to Us language, but the Bryan
resignation and the startling develop
ments of the last two days furnish ft
fair Indox to the character of tho Amer
ican reply. '
That the President and tho remainder
of his Cabinet have definitely discouraged
In this note all German thought of arbi
tration and long drawn out discussion
over comparatively non-essential facts, Is
apparent to the trained observer In Wash
ington. The Bryan resignation, further
more, has .nad It plain that the note
does not assume that It Is incumbent
upon this Government to warn Its citizens

WASHINGTON, June 10.
Tho William P. Fryo case must go to
a prlzo court, Germany Insists.
Through Ambassador Gerard, Berlin,
tho Stato Department today received tho
German reply to this country's represen
tations relative to tho slnklmr of tho
American sailing vessel, with Its wheat
cargo, consigned "to ordor" In England,
by tho Kaiser's raider Prlnz Eltel Frled
rich. Tho text Is Insistent on German rights
and privileges, nnd Its tone, while not
hostile, has elements In It that may In
dicate a lack of amicable language In tho
forthcoming German reply to the second
American note on tho Lualtnnla.
Tho noto on the sinking of tho Amer
ican ship, received hero todny, asserts the
right to destroy any American vessel
carrying contraband, whllo agreeing to
pay damages for tho act.
Today's noto proved that tho reference
ot a prlzo court was anything but per
functory, as had been previously be
hoved. Germany docs not concede thnt tho
sinking of the Frye violated tho Prussian-American
treaty, ns was previously
supposed, tho Berlin Foreign Ofilce ad
mitted. It contends that prize court pro
cedure Is absolutely necessary to a satis
factory adjustment of tho case.
Germany, however, does admit Its lia
bility for damages, repeats Its willing
ness to make reparation, and adds that,
should the prize court adjustment prove
unsatisfactory, the Government, If neces
sary, would overrule the court to satisfy
,.the,UnltetUStates J , . ... r . .;,,. .
Insistence on prize court proceedings
was based on a German law passed early
In tho war.

CONVENTION HALL
SITE ON PARKWAY
MOVED IN COUNCILS
Ground Bounded by Spring
Garden, 21st and 22d
Streets, Pennsylvania
Avenue and Hamilton
Streets Proposed
Tho erection of Convention Hall on a
compromise site along the line of the
Parkway near tho entrance to Falrrnount
Park was provided for in an ordlnanoe
introduced Into Common Council this
afternoon by Common Councilman George
Connell f the 40th Ward. The ordinance
kwas referred to the Flnanoe Committee
without discussion.
The Bite named in the ordinance is a
rectangular piece, of ground bounded by
Spring Garden, 21st, 22nd streets, Penn
sylvania avenue and Hamilton street.
The ordinance authorizes the Cty Solic
itor to begin proceedings for the con
demnation of all property on this plot
of ground and for the purchase of the
Elte by the city.
The advantages of locating Convention
Hall at this point, friends of the ordi
nance say, are that It would be In one of
the roost beautiful parts of tho city, that
It would be accessible to two railroads,'
that It Is near the business centre of the
city and that the site can be procured for
a comparatively small sura. Tho purchase
price asked Is supposed to be close to
J200.000.
The plot of ground fronts 398 feet on
Spring Garden street, 418 feet on 21st
street, 3 feet on 2d street, 217 feet on
Pennsylvania avenue, 224 feet on Hamil
ton street. At present the land I occu
