MAY PAY FOR LANAO Germany Expected to Make Restitu- tion for Sinking Steamer on Same Ground for Destroying Frye. Nov. 8-—Precedents established in the case of the Ameri- can ship Frye, wheat laden and bound for England, sunk in mid-Atlantic by the German auxiliary cruiser Eitel Friedrik, in 1915, are expected to lead the German government col- untarily to offer to pay for the steam- Washington, Prinz | er Lanao, sunk by a German subma- rine off the coast of Portugal, October 28, if it is established that the vessel was sailing legally under the Ameri- can flag and registry. The state de- partment is making every effort to develop the facts and it appears cer- tain that due warning was given and proper care taken to safeguard the lives of all on board. The question to be eleared up is whether the Lanao was an American ship. It is known that negotiations for her sale by the American owners to a Norwegian shipowner had been initiated before the vessel started on the moyage but it is not clear whether these had been concluded and the registry had been actually changed at the time of the attack or whether the change of ownership and registry were condi- tional upon the delivery of the ship at a Norwegian port. Regarding the right of the German submarine commander to destroy the cargo of contraband rice destined to a French or enemy port there is no disposition to raise any question. But is the Frye case the German govern- ment admitted that under article xi of the treaty of 1799 the ship itself should have been allowed to proceed after the removal of the contraband cargo.

The police believe that the young woman was dead when brought here and that the parties in the automobile | executed a carefully arranged plan to bury her body in a manner not cal- culated to draw attention to them- selves. Two Whitman police officers today went ta Boston to investigate the case | in accordance with facts they have on | their police record, Though the police will not talk t night, it is believed that they today located the Boston garage at which | the automobile was hired to carry this party and their mysterious hundles to Whitman. When Medical Examiner E. Paaine yesterday reported that the skeleton found Saturday last was that of a young woman about 23 or 24 years of age and that it had been | buried about three vears in the farm | land where it was found, the police of | the different cities and towns of Ply- | mouth county were direéted to exam- ine their records for a possible clue touching upon the strange case. The Whitman police say that they were informed during the week of November 11, 1912, that on that night a man named William Welling of Boston, employed as a chauffeur by a Fenway garage, drove a large limou- sine car into Whitman at 11 o’clock at night. The man was well dressed and the woman heavily veiled. In the car with the pair was a large long bundle, that might have carried a body, and a large basket, ir which the police think | may have been a spade and other tools needed in digging. The man directed the chauffeur to g0 to Whitman center for a luncheon for himself and gave him $2 with | which to pay for the meal. When he returned to where he had | left the party, the mysterious bundles | were not to be seen. The man and the | woman were waiting for him in the roadway. He drove the pair to Bos- ton and they alighted near the Fen- way. The chauffeur was paid $75 for the nearly 200 miles ride. When the Whitman police heard all these circumstances they say they | sought to find the chauffeur, but fail- | ed to do so. They searched the place whers it was said the party left the machine. Fifty feet from the spot where the | skeleton was round on Saturday the | Whitman police four years ago at the | time of their investigation of the | strange automobile visit, found a piece | of blue ribbon, which they say corre- | sponds to the piece of faded blue rib- hon found on Saturday entangled in the bones of the skeleton.
