This attitude, they be. llete, foreshadows a complete understand Inft between the two government. Secretary Lansing explained that the United Htntes would regard this as an answer to th last not of President Wil ton dealing with the Lusltanla case.

Having conveyed his Information to Secretary Lansing, the Ambassador raced bock by atiomoblle to his embassy, made an English draft of th note and dli patcned It, by special messenger, to the State Department, whero work began Im mediately on tho preparation of a copy for I'rcsldcnt Wilson. Ambassador Page at London cabled the State Department today that It Is gon crnlly believed In official circles In Great Britain tdat tho submarine which sank tit's Arabic was Itself sent to th bottom the next day.

STRIKE MAY TIE UP MUNITIONS MAKING Upion'Lea'der Threatens to Check Erection of 15 Ed- dystone Buildings A strlko of 700 men which may com pletely tie up the erection of 15 buildings at, tho Remington Arms Company at fdd)tone wns threatened today bv Leonard Kraft, secretary of the Building Trades Council. It was nnnounced thot Kraft, Joseph Ritchie, president of the council, and other ofllrlals of organized labor will confer to day with tho emploxers nt l'ddystono. If the officials of the Remington Company yield to their demands, he said, work will continue Otherwise a strike will be culled today or tomorrow. The Remington concern Is manufactur ing arms for belligerent European coun tries, emplojlng mechanics of the Bald win Locomotive Works nnd using the plant of the latter company In the work. The new buildings ore being constructed on the slto of the Baldwin concern. "We called uppn Mr. Converse, chief engineer of the Baldwin Works, and re quested that union men be employed in tho erection of the Eddystone plant. This was on July 23," said Mr. Kraft. "Ho then refused absolutely to comply with our request, but Bine that time demand for the completion of tho plant has be come so great that he haa been compelled to employ some union men. The result Is that organized labor Is now In a posi tion to hold up the operations unless It Is agreed to employ union men ex clusively," Mr. Kraft said that among the trades to be called out are the plumbers, elec tricians, steam fitters, lathers and cement finishers. Carpenters arc already on strike, accoidlng to another announce ment by Mr Kraft. At Kddystone It was dented today that any carpenters had been called out. or that theie were any Indication of a strike among other trades.

Look for Enemy HIS PAPERS SEARCHED umucl S. Cord, the Laurel Sprlnga real estate man, whose bullet-marked body whs found behind a rail fence oft tho Itlver road, three blocks from the Tlsh House. N. J., station yesterday, wns shot and killed In tin automobile, in the opin ion of the Camden County detocthes at work on the case. All doubt that Cord wns murdered has been cleared up In tho minds of the de- lAndwA. Thw !! hav nlifltlHnnpil IIim I first theory that the motive was robbery, I and now believe that It followed a aquar rel over a real estato transaction. Captain of Detectives Cameron was called Into the cose early today. He hag been asked to nnd out. If possible, whether or not Cord left this city late Monday afternoon In an automobile, nnd who wns in the car with him Thn Camden de teethe say that all tho oldcnce points to a shooting In an auto mobile, Tho spot where the body was found, on the outskirts of Camden, near the Junction of the Cove and Itlver roads. Is 12 miles across country from the Cord mansion at Laurel Springs. Cord's own automobile was In his garage at his home. He would not have been In the vicinity where his body was found unless he was In the machine of some one else, the detectives assert. The theory that the shotlng followed an argument over a real estate transaction also Is carried out, the detectives say, by the fact that eory bit of paper In Cord's pockets was minutely examined. Every pocket liml been searched. Personal let ters had been taken from their envelopes, legal and rtalty documents opened, nil apparently while the murderer wns on his way from the point where the body was left back to the road. A trail of such papers led from the body to the road. It wns this that flrnt attracted the attention of Itajmond nnd Albert Malloy, of River avenue, Pen sailken, who discovered the dead body face downward In a shallow ditch. Cord's widow was on tho verge of col lnpso at her home this morning, Sho did not sleep last night. Most of the time she sat by the telephone, calling up County Prosecutor Kraft at tho Court House In Camden, who also was up all nUht on tho case, Mr. Cord Is firmly convinced that her husband was mur dered, but sho can gle no clue to the murderer. MOTORISTS BHAIICH. ' Seven high-powered automobiles raced over tho roads of Pensauken township nnd adjoining country all during the night, filled with amateur detective.. Nearly everybody In tho township haa a clue of somo kind about the murder and Insists on working It out according to his own Ideas. At dawn County Detectives Levin, Do ran and" aribben were confining them selves to Laurel Springs. They would not explain why the chase had narrowed down to that town, but each believed that It would not be long before arrests were made. Residents talked ot nothing else to day but the murder. It Is the greatest sensation since Cord founded the place 23 jears ago and started to develop It through real estateo deals. There Is n possibility, the detective say, that two men were Implicated In the killing of Cord. Two of the bullets that struck him went through the heart. Two others went through his abdomen. The theory has been advanced thnt each pair was fired by a different man. What at first was thought to be a fifth bullet wound, under the elbow, is now believed to have been a bruise, caused perhaps by the arm striking a stone. FrUnds of the dead man say that he had made enemies by his strict business methods. They assert that he Invariably kept nil agreements he mnde to the letter, and that he held those who dealt with him to the same code. If a purchaser of real estate failed to make a payment Cord would start foreclosure proceedings Instantly, they say. Recently Cord has had trouble with a disgruntled customer, the detectives say. He even went so far as to ask the ele vator starter In the building where he had his office not to bring a. certain man to his office. Just who this man Is the de tectives do not knsw, Captain Cameron's men are at work on this end of the case. A reward that probably will be J1.000 may be offered today for the capture of Cord's murderer. It Is also possible that prlvute detective may be called Into the case The widow I determined to run down the murderer or murderer. All the bullet that (truck Cord were of .52 calibre. Pawnshops are being Investigated In this city today to find out If any one giving a New Jersey address bought such a wearon within the last tew days. Men assigned by Prosecutor Kraft, with what assistance Mr, Cord could give them, started a systematic examination of Cord'8 private papers today at his home. It Is thought that somo light on the Identity of thote who might be his enemies may be found from an xaml nation of these documents. There was nothing of this kind In the paper scat tered about Cord's body The police be. Hove that some paper wa taken out of the packet.

His announcement follows In full: PORTER'S ANNOUNCEMENT "Having considered the requests of a rlous citizen committees, I have decided to become a candidate for the office of Mayor of Philadelphia. While I am by no means unmindful of the great compli ment which my friends do me In making this suggestion, I hope I will not bo mis understood when I say that I am oven more conscious ot the grave responsi bilities which will rest upon me should the wishes of my fellow-citizens place me In thchlgh offlco of chief executive of the city. "For many years I have Interested my self actively In the advancement of politi cal conditions In Philadelphia. It has been my privilege to hold two positions under the city government, tho first an elective one, when for five years I served as Common Councilman from the 22d Ward, and secondly, the position which t now hold, an appointive one, as Direc tor of Public Safety. I have never aspired to public ofllce, and I feel very much flattered that the group of cltlxens numbering several thousand who have requested me to become a candidate has not been the result of a round-table con ference. "Four years ago the citizens of Phila delphia elected ns Mayor an Independent, whose term of office 1iaa'"bfcen "replete wlth"nccompllshmnts of which any man so handicapped could be proud. If my conduct of the affairs of the Department of Public Safety has met with the ap proval of the citizens of this community, and there Is a confidence on their part that I would fulfill the duties of Mayor. I nm willing to stand on thnt record, and promlso that In tho event of my election I shall pursue the same course of devo tion to public duty as has governed my actions In my present position."
