One o fthe ' American destroyers in the patrol notuia reported this morning that it was unable to find any trace of the fifty members of the crew of a Brit ish merchantman which was being at tacked by a submarine when the American craft snatched the British er s wireless distress call from the air. , Submarine shelling us," was the first message the destroyer picked up. The position showed the Britisher was forty miles away, which meant a run of five hours through hjgh seas tor the destroyer. The American craft was just get ting under full speed when its wire less sounded the second and final message. It read: "Abandoning snip. Only floating wreckage greeted the American blue jackets when they reached the place, but they patroled the sea for two days, hoping to find the survivors. Owing to the high seas it seems doubtful if any of the vessel's crew was rescued by passing ships. Six Are Convicted in Election Fraud Case Indianapolis. Ind.. Tune 26. Samuel W. Perrott, chief of the Indianapolis police, and five others were found guilty of conspiracy to commit elec tion frauds in connection with the 1914 registration and election, by a verdict of a jury returned tonight in the United States district court here. The others who were -convicted were Roy A. Pope, police captain; Wayland Sanders and Martin C. Hulse, police sergeants; Lee Stringer, city detective, and Herman F. Adam, city inspector of weights and meas ures. A seventh defendant, Frank M. Johnson, a patrolman, was acquitted by the jury. Seven others who were indicted in the case pleaded guilty some time ago. The case grew out of a civil suit for damages for the alleged preven tion from voting of a negro in which the 1914 political conditions in one city precinct were exposed. Expect Aged Runaways To Return to Prison Sacramento, Cal., June 26. Folsom prison officers were keeping an eye out today for the return of Dick Lar ken, 75, and Bill Nye, 73, who wan dered away from prison yesterday. Dick had been living there off and on tor thirty-seven years and Bill for period of fourteen years. Both are expected back soon because the prison authorities say they will not know where else to go. The old men had been raising hogs on the prison farm and are regarded as good hands. Both have been eligible for parole for some time. In private life Dick has been known as a thief, hence his frequent periods of incarceration. Bill was mixed up in a manslaughter matter, but has nearly lived it down, accord ing to the mandates of the state. They are thought to be taking a short holi day and it is hoped they will obviate the bothersome detail of going after them.

SPLENDID RESPONSE TO RECRUITING CALL Societies and Newspaper Coun try Over Eager to Do Their Share to Increase the Army. Washington, June 26. Patriotic and civic societies, newspapers and other semi-public agencies everv- where are making a gratifying re sponse to the government's appeal for support in the campaign of regular army recruiting week, and the War department officials believe the next few days will see a recruiting boom for the regulars unparalleled in the nation s nistory. Press Gives Aid. Reports from all over the countrv indicate that the daily papers, as re quested by Secretary Baker, are tak ing hold of the work vigorously and are bringing home forcibly to elig ibles the necessitv of ouick exoansion of the regular establishment Many of them are pointing out that enlistment with the regulars not only would give men eligible for the draft an earlier opportunity for service abroad, but would insure that they go to the front under experienced offi cers of the line and with equipment selected before the great demands of the war army have to be met. All May Do Their Bit. Officials are emphasizing that the plan of enlistments for the war onlv offers an opportunity also for a man over 31 and less than 40 to do his share along with the younger men subject to draft. President Wilson's proclamation setting aside the re cruiting week, it is pointed out, vir tually amounts to a call for volunteers among men of this class. Figures Not Available. The recruiting figures for today, which are expected to show the first results of the publicity campaign and really mark the beginning of recruit ing week, will not be available until tomorrow. During Saturday and Sunday nom inally, the first days of the week set aside by the president, 915 men were recruited, with New York leading the states with 132 men and Pennsylvania second with 102. Since April 1, 124, 949 war volunteers have been en rolled. The National Guard, still far below war strength, is recruiting at the rate of about 1,000 men a day. All of the states are well below their quotas and some of them are going backward in total strength. Figures reported to the War de partment, complete for thirty-six states, the District of Columbia and Hawaii, show a net gain of 9,759, of ficers and enlisted men during the period between June 10 and 20. Three states reported net losses. In Rhode Island the decline in total strength was 409, in Missouri it was 145, and in Alabama it was two. Hawaii reported a net loss of seventy nine. Other gains reported were: Iowa, 401: Nebraska. 290: Utah. 118: Call fornia, 82; Oregon, 80; Washington, &; Worth Dakota, 65; Wyoming, 62 Texas, 33. Slow Response Here. The first day of the week's drive for army enlistments proved a disappoint ment to Omaha recruiting officers. The regular army enlisted but twenty-one men yesterday, while the sixth Nebraska, now being formed enlisted twenty-six. Both marks fell far short of the expectations of the officers in charge of the recruiting work. The first street car man to enlist since President Wattles' announce ment that positions would be held open for all street car company em ployes who joined the colors, was J. J. Marfice, 2524 G street. Marfice will be put on recruiting duty and he de clares he will get at least twenty-five street car men to enlist before the week is out. U. S.'Cities Are Living Far Beyond Their Incomes Washington, June 26. American municipalities have been living be yond their incomes, according to a preliminary census bureau report for the fiscal year 1916, made public to day, which shows that the average per capita indebtedness for 213 cities is $74.64, a figure nearly eight times as great as the corresponding figure for the national government. The excess of expenditures over revenue in these cities amounted to $73,591,070, or $2.28 per capita. One of the most noteworthy fea tures of the report is the rapid growth of the urban at the expense of the rural communities. War-time conditions have increased the de mand for workers in the cities, espe cially in munition centers, and con sequently there has been a great ex odus from the country districts, with a proportionate increase in the popu lations ot the cities. ONE DEAD, SCORE ARE HURT IN CORK Sinn Feiners' Riots Result in Number of Casualties, but Peace Now Sestored by Officers. Cork, June 26. One man killed and a score injured was the toll in yes terday's conflict between Sinn Fein ers and the police. Serious disorders occurred, including an attack on the jail in an effort to liberate the po litical prisoners detained there, and attacks on various military recruiting quarters in the center of the town. A number of the clergy pleaded in vain with the Sinn Feiners to keep the peace, but finally the police, armed with carbines, bavonets and re volvers, charged at double quick down Patrick street. Some 'of the crowd stood their ground, replying with a fusillade of clubs and stones, but a majority fled into the adjacent streets. The injured were quickly gathered up by stretcher bearers and taken to the hospitals. Soldiers were called out. They planted machine guns in the center of Patrick street and patroled the scene of the disturbances until early this morning when quiet was restored. ANARCHIST HORDE MENACESFINN CITY Reign of Terror Threatened by Criminal Band; Militia Men Recapture Church and End Trouble. Hclsinfors, Finland, June 26. This city has finally been relieved from the threat of a regime of terror under Jean Boldt, an anarchist leader, who had lately risen to power and who had gathered about him a group of followers, comprising anti-religious maniacs, pickpockets and other pro fessional criminals lately released from jail. After a series of incendiary speeencs tioint louowea Dy uu rogues raided the Nicholas Cathedral in the middle of a service being conducted there, declared the building captured and turned into a "Temple of the Poor." One of Boldt's followers, an unfrocked priest, stepped into the pul pit and preached a blasphemous, vio lent sermon on the history of religious shams. Early the next morning a hundred militiamen stormed the cathedral and notwithstanding Boldt's appeals to his followers to massacre, defeated the criminals in a hand-to-hand struggle during which there was con siderable shooting and two of the militiamen were wounded. Second Training Camp Already More Than Filled Washington, June 26. So many have already applied for admission to the second series of officers' train ing camps opening in August, that War department officials expect the total applications to be vastly greater than 16,000, the number to be ad mitted. A statement issued tonight through the public information committee points out that fitness alone will count in the selection of those to be ac cepted and later in the choice of those to be commissioned. Nobody accepted for training, it is declared, "has a vested right to a commission." Southern Pacific Has Fuel Oil for Only 90 Days San Francisco, June 26. Unless the Southern Pacific can secure larger quanities of fuel oil in the open mar ket than has been available herto fore. the railroad, at the present rate of consumption, can operate only ninety days longer. W. R. Scott, gen eral manager of the company, so in formed the California Railroad com mission at the hearing being conducted here in regard to the request of the railroads for permission to raise freight rates 15 per cent.

At the same time they took possession of several thousand acres of irrigated and improved land owned by other members of the colony nriven out anout a year ago. 1 he Mexicans announced they would keep this land. This information was contained in a report received by Mormons here late today. It was feared by the colonists that they would also he dis possessed and driven from the coun try, the report said.
