WASHINGTON-, Oct. 18. Negotiations
on tho T.usltanla caso hero reached tho
point of a discussion of the monetary value
of the American lives lost In the sinking
of the ship. This becamo known here today
following the publishing of a statement that
tho Administration has accepted the terms
of a German note to tho United States on
February IB, In which aormnny held that
tho sinking of the Lusltanla was Justifiable
and that the loss of American lives was
"regrettable," and In which Germany
agreed to pay Indemnity to the United
States.
The text of this note lias never been given
put by the State department, despite the
fact the German Government Is anxious
tho note shall be given out In order that the
affair may be closed and that Ambassador
Bernstorff may proceed to a discussion of
the amount of Indemnity to be paid for
the loss of American lives.
POLK REFUSES DISCUSSION
Acting Secretary of Stato Tolk partly
denied this report today, saying!
"This note has not been accepted and will
not be given out at this time. The State
Department Is not going to be drawn Into
n discussion of this case at this time. This
is not the moment to discuss questions of
this importance."
Despite this statement, however. It Is
generally understood that although the
text of the German noto has never been
omclally accepted by tho United States, It
has been the Intention of the Administra
tion for Bome'tlme to accept It. It Is pointed
out that tho note could not be accepted
unless made public slmutaneously and that
political considerations might have a great
deal to do with the Administration's desire
not to publish the terms of the agreement
Just previous to election.
It has been known for some time that
the del man note has been lying on the
desk of Secretary of State Lansing, who has

A petition for a reopening of the cans
In wlilct$tflchnrt J Iiurko was granted a
llcensa to open a raloon nt Sixtieth street

of that license was nied today. lt had 1334

The petition In now before Judges Bar
ratt and Davis, who will decide whether or

C. Behtley Collins, attorney for the

streets to West Philadelphia, brought the
petition to WJlllam "ft'. Turner, deputy clerk
of Quarter Sessions Court, nt 11 o'clock.
Jtr. Turner, sent It to the Judges of the LI
censo Court.
The petition was In the names of Charles
W. Slclvln and Alexander Young, both
property owners nnd residents of the Thirty-fourth
Ward.
Mr. Collins said that tho 1331 names rep
resented almost elghty-rlvo per cent, of the
neighborhood solicited two squares all the
way from Sixtieth street and Lansdowne
and that tho only reason the most of the
other fifteen per cent wero not on tho list
was becauso the canvassers didn't find them
at home.
"And nt that," he said, "many men who
wero missed by the camassers cams around
to see that they were on tho list. There
wero very few persons In faor of tho
saloon and very few 'neutrals."
Mr. Collins said he could hae got thou
sands of signers If the territory canvasses
had been larger. About three hundred resi
dents wero missed In tho canvass.
