City officials were in a dilemma
Wednesday over what to do about the
crematory, which again threatens a
vielent row.
The notice served on the city by At.
torneys Evins & Spence, of the De
structor Company, that the company
will cease Lo operate the plant after
May 2, has put it up to the city to ac
cept the plant at once on the terms of
the Destructor Company, or go back
to the old insanitary plan of dumping
garbag:
There are declared 1o be a'most un
surmountable difficulties in the way of
both plans

Siates Judge Newman without an ap
peal to the Supreme Court would fix
money charges-on the city thit it ean
not meet at this time, it is said. The
¢city would have to pay the cost of the
long crematory trial and provide
thousands of dollars to operate the
plant during the remalrder of the

U. S. to Resist Contingent
Acceptance.
By JOMN EDWIN NEVIN,
(Staff Correspondent of the Intarna
tional News Serwvice.)
WASHINGTON, April 26.—Ger
many’'s reply to the American subma
rine warfare ultimatum will reach
here probably I'riday. =~ Ambassador
Gerard todaly treported 'to the State
Department that it is about complete
Dr, Ven Bethmann-Hollweg WaASs
scheduled lo confer with the Kaiser
today and will probably hand the re
»ly to the American Amb;assmjm- some
time tomorrow.
Officials said toflay that an effort
by Germany to make an acceptance
of the American terms contingent
upon a demand by the United States
that Great Britain abandon her block
ade of Germany would be resisted by
this GovVernment. That is a matter
which the United States will handle
upon its own initiative,
It is expected that a new gote deal
ing with _the British trade blockade
soon will be prepared. The joint An
glo-French note defending the block
ade on the ground of military neces
sity, made pnblic last night, is de
clared to be far from satisfactory to
the United States. Officials insisted
teday that the note, in declaring that
new methods have had {o be used in
preventing supplies reaching Ger
many, admits that such methods are
in violation of international law.
The German Embassy still was
without anydefinite worgd from Ber
lin regarding the American note. It
was sald that it was unlikely that
Ambassador von Bernstorff would re
ceive any further advibes until after
the reply is in Ambassador Gerard's
hands,
Embassy officials continue hopefu!l
They believe that the basis of settle
ment to.be offered .by Germany will
be an extension of her submarine or
ders affecting the Meditetranean
shipping to inclade all submarine
operations eyerywhere. This would,
in effecy, compel submarine command
ers to carry on cruiser warfare. If this
is done, then Germany is expected to
ask the United States again to define
ite stand on the armed merchantman
question,

The chaingangs throughout the State.
This plea was ignored by the Prison

KANSAS CITY, MO., April 26.—An
invention which may revolutionize the
methods of refining gasoline and
bring down the price of that product
was demonstrated today: by Louis
Bond Cherry. .
The method is based on an electro
chemical process. The inventor
poured kerosene into a tank and drew
off gasoline.
The finished product, when placed
in the tank of a motor car, propelied
the machine easily and smoothly,
By the new process Cherry expects
to produce three and four timés as
much gasoline from a gallon of crude
oil a 8 now is produced by the refin
eries. The refining dbst will be only
three-fourths of a cent a gallon.
Judson Maxim, on a recent visit
to Kansas City, said the plan would:
