Interested In Snlnsnr's Arrest.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. The arrest of
General Salazar aroused much Interest
In official circles here. It wus Salazar
who was In command of rebel forces
ftshtlnir the Madero government two
years ago when Thomas Fountain,
native American gunner In the federal
army, was put to death under tho "law
of flight." American Consul Letcher had
protested against Injury to Fountain and
later a warning was Issued by the Stato
department that the United States would
hold tho leaders of tho Mexican factions
personally responsible for Injury to
Americans. Thcro was a defenso offered
at the tlmo thnt Fountain had .become a
Mexican citizen and controversy on. that
point has been heard In tho debates In
the senate here. Feeling along tho border
has since that time been strong against
Salazar. Ho wus arrested for violation
of tho neutrality laws and Jumped ball
several months ago.

WOOSTER RISK TO REMARK
Says Democratic Wrath Will Follow
Congressman Stephens.
ALL OVER A
POSTMASTER
tirnnknii llcnrn Democrat Itonst
President nnd Fee In thnt the
Tone nf Heninrkn Wn
Quite Proper.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. Jon. 16.-(Speclal Tele
gram.) Before leaving for homo Charles
Wooster, who has been In Washington
for several days In the Interest of Arthur
Roth for postmaster at Silver Creek, and
against the recommendation of W. S.
Gray made by Congressman Dan Ste
phens for tho place, wrote a letter to C.
N, Powers, who heads the petition of
9S of the 110 democrats of Sliver Creek
In favor of Roth's selection, telling him
that Stephens had refused to withdraw
tho nomination of W. S. Gray, made
nearly eleven months ago. although tho
office will not be vacant until the last
of this month, npd would not agree to
the holding of an election conducted by
any person to be selected by Stephens.
In (he letter to Mr. Powers. Mr. Woos
ter does not mlnco words and Bays that
Stephens tried to excuso himself on the
ground that E. II. Young, also a candi
date for the postofflce (which pays $1,030),
had failed to make his protest against
the caucus which Gray held In the opera
house on March 19 last, self-called and
self-manipulated.
Mr. Wooster says that Mr. Stephens ad
mlttcd that It was a bad state of affairs
and that he v. an very much emhofi'aod
over the situation, but felt that it wouM
make hi moppear ridiculous If he ve."o to
ask for the withdrawal of Gray's name
now that It had gone to the president
Of course, Mr. Wooster was consider
ably "het up" and told the congressman,
so It Is said, that he wll havo a dlckm
of a time to carry that portion of Msr
rlrk county In ' which tho village and
township of Silver Creek nrc located
when Primary time .comes around next
rummer.
It will be recalled that when Mr. Steph
ens announced that ho would look to
elections of duly caucuses of the party
to determine the fitness of a candidate
for a postofilce there were .nlsglvlngs
over tho immature methods FUgKeled.
Now Silver Creek rises up to haunt Dan
Stephens and there may be others before
the Ide's of November appear. 4
AVould lie Independent.
While waiting to sec the representative
from the Third Nebraska district yester
day, Mr. Wooster, whose flowing sldc
whlskers, long, white hair and tall form
attracted no end of attention In the cot?!
tol, dropped Into the hall of tho house
of representatives and heard Chairman
Moore of the postofflce and postroads
committee defend tho "rider on tho post
office appropriation bill, which takes,
deputy or assistant postmasters from un
der the clvjl service. Ho heard tho chair
man In rfiargo of the bill Insist that tho
president had no business to interfere.
with the legislative branch of tile govern
Jiient charged -with -tluv-responsibility- of
enacting legislation and heard the dls
ttngutshed Tennesscean say that whether
President Wilson vetoed the, postofflce ap
propriation bill or not, democrats should
not bo cowards and the rider should be
passed.
Mr. Wooster marveled much at this
display of independence in the democratic
camp, but he gloried in Mr. Moore's
"spunk." He said today, without ex
pressing any opinion as to the merits
of tho Issuo between house democrats
and the administration regarding the civil
service: "As an American cltlzen'1. deslru
to commend and applaud "Congressman
Mooro of Tennessee for so vigorously
nnd defiantly resenting executive Inter
ference with legislative affairs. This sort
of work on the part of tho ptesldent Is
leading directly to despotic power. For
tho good of our country and tho preserva
tion of constitutional government, both
representatives and senators should
stand solidly together In resisting execu
tive encroachment."
Keystone Bankers
Oppose Great Bank
for New York City
WASHINGTON, Jan. lfi.-Phlladclphla
nnd Pittsburgh bankers appeared before
the federal bank organization today to
urge the claims of their cities for regional
rcservo banks. Cleveland bankers will
appear next week.
L. L. Rue, chairman of the Philadelphia
clearing houff-, urged the selection of
Philadelphia for a district to consist of
southern New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Delaware and eastern Maryland. He
suggested that all Maryland, Virginia,
North Carolina and West Virginia might
be added. In addition to Philadelphia he
urged the selection of nlno other reserve
bank cities, Boston, New York, Chicago,
Atlanta, Minneapolis, St. Louis, Denver
and San Frar.clBCo.
ThoPhlladelphla delegation came out
strongly against a great bank In New
York. Mr. Hue agreed with Secretary
McAdoo's suggestion that foreigners
would not look to the strength of the
New York bank so much as to the
healthy condition of the entire system.

PLYMOUTH. Jan. 16.-The failure of
the British submarine "A-7," with six

after It had dived- to the bottom of Ply

Intense anxiety here today.
After tho maneuvers were over two

Salvage vessels hurried to the scene.
Bubbles were seen rising to tho surfaco

A Bhort time afterward, however, the
parent vessel Oynx got Into communlca

The last signal from the entombed men
was heard at 5:15.
The vessel lies at about 100 feet 'depth,
Admiralty officials declare that tho
crew consists of Lieutenant Albert M.
Wllman, another officer and fourteen
men, making a total of sixteen.
The submarine wns engaged In cxer
clscs In the sound with a number of Its
sister vessels. It failed to come to the
surface with the other boats when the
maneuvers were brought to an end.
The "A-7" was one of a class of nine
boats numbered "A-5" to "A-13," It was
built In 1904 and measured 150 feet In
length. Its submerged displacement was
EM tons. Its engines developed an indi

The British navy has also lost a num

saved; the "C-S" In 1907, when four were
drowned; tho "C-U" in 1903, when thir
teen wero drowned; the "A-3" In 1903,
with a loss of'elevcn lives, and tho "U-2"
In the same year, with a death loss of

"A-7," "A-8" and "A-9." 'When the
other boats rose to the surface the ab

at once made to Plymouth and Devon-
port and these brought the depot ship
Onyx and several salvage steamers to the.
scene at full speed.
The salvage vessels made Bpeedy ef

approximate whereabouts was Indicated
by bubbles. The hopes of 'saving life,
however, were regarded as small, the rls
