Americans Fail to Find
Victims of Submarine
Base of the American Flotilla in
p British aWters, June 26. 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.

Americans Still Import
Huge Values in Stones
New York, June .26. Neither the
High cost of living nor appeals for
economy have apparently affected the
importation of precious stones into
this country. The value of gem im
ports for the eleven months of the
fiscal year at the port of New York
was tonight given as $41,078,302.

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.

Washington. June 26. Everv Amer
ican clergyman will be asked by the
food administration to oreach food
conservation from his pulpit next Sun
day, July 1.
Mexicans Seize Land
Of American Mormons
Douglas. Ariz., June 26. Mexican
residents of the Batepito valley in the
vicinity of Colonia Morelos, sixty
miles south of Douglas, disarmed fif
teen American Mormons who reside
there. 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.
