The warships of the Entente Powers have sent out warnings of the ralder broadcast by, means of the wireless. Officials of Argentinia and Brazil, on the alert to prevent violations ot neutrality, are keeping a vigilant ., watch along their respective coasts . ith a view to discovering a possible jerman naval base or a secret wire- s station. i In addition to seeking for the raider rself, the warships of the Allles are latching several vessels which are suspected of having aided the opera- Hons of the sea rover. Amcng those . ; Suspected is the blacklisted steamship &MNaguash, flying the American flag, which is now on the way from Beunos Aires to New York, The agents of the Ortega, and the Drina have issued a statement saying there is fio ,confirmation that either has been sunk, and declare that they expect them to arrive in port at ap- proximately the usual time. They also assert that there is no reason to be- ~.Heve the Araguaya is endangered, as §t is believed that the raider refrains from attacking merchantmen even lightly armed, because a chance shot {s lable to cause serious damage, which would be irreparable in view of the raider’s inability to visit regular parts. Thus her career might be sud- denly terminated. Descriptions of the raider vary from “¢ a ship of the Moewe type to a large, heavily armed yacht. British sources here say the ac- counts of the ralder’'s activities are greatly exaggerated, owing to the efforts of the German news agencies in Rio and here. Nevertheness, it 13 admitted that some damage has been & done and that allied shipping will be unsafe until the raider is captured or sunk. All accaunts agree that the corsalr js liberally supplied with food and fuel from her prizes, Although the raider is equipped with torpedo tubes, all accounts thus far received agree that she sunk her vietims by dynamiting their hulk. Several of the victims, while being pursued, flashed “S. O, 8. calls by wireless. But the ralder’s speed en- abled her to overtake and destroy each vessel before help could arrive. Disbelief is expressed here in the statement that the Yarrowdale has been sunk, and it is believed that she will untimately materialize with 400 refugees taken by the Germans from ships which were afterward sunk and placed aboard her.

Dr. Ohman Declines In- crease of $300 in Salary At the annual meeting of the Swed- ish Lutheran church held last evening in the church parlors, the aged topic pertaining to the giving to the women of the parish a franchise at the church meetings was again taken up. Ten years ago at the synod held in this city, which was attended by ministers from all parts of the United States, the resolution was passed whereby it was made permissable for the women | of the local Swedish churches to have a vote at church meetings if th€ res- olution was adopted by the respective churches. The subject last evening was given a thprough investigation and arguments pro and con were freely discussed. Those present finally came to the conclusion that it would be no more than fair to give the women' the much desired and belated right and the resoluion was adopted. This church is one of the first in this lo- cality to have adopted this measure. | The remalnder of the evening was :devoted to.the electing of officers for the ensuing year, the choosing of del- egates to be sent to the New Eng- land conference, which is to be held in New Haven about the middle of April and the presentation of reports sby the secretary and pastor, Rev. 8. G. Ohman. The reports showed that financially the past year had heen a very favorable one as compared with the year previous. In 1915 there was a balance on hand of $81.50 whereas in 1916, with receipts of $7,691.10 and expenditures of $7,431.80, there is left on hand a balance of $159.30 which 1s a gain of $127.80. Reports read showed that the church debt had been diminished by $2,000 which shows that the pastor and congregation have worked in uni- son during the past year to rid the church of its financial burden.

Wilson, the important wit- ness in the Swann case, is at liberty. He obtained $10,000 bail yesterday, but both Mr. Swann and Lucian S. Breckinridge, who accuses the dis- trict attorney, seem to be in the dark as to ‘who put up the $10,000. Just as the district attorney’s ac- cusers said last time that it was the prosecutor’s office that ‘‘spirited’ Wil- son away to intimidate him, and Mr. Swann’s defenders were quite sure, in turn, that Mr. Breckinridge’s support- ers were the instigators .of the plot, so last night each side was sure the other had bailed out the witness. It wag Lloyd P. Stryker who discov- ered yesterday that Wilson was gone. Mr. Stryker, who has asserted that ‘Wilson would swear he never had the slightest illicit money transaction with Breckinridge, sent a clerk around to the Tombs to see Wilson. The clerk returned to say that the witness was not there. Mr. Stryker telephoned to Duffy’s Pure M a [t Whiskey Martin W. Littleton. counsel for Mr. Breckinridge. Mr. Littleton not only professed himself in ignorance of the manner of Wilson’s deliverance; he displayed anxiety as to the whereabouts of the man he has stat- ed persistently he relies upon clear the name of his client of the district attorney’s charges. Next Stryker tried J. Ward Fol- lette, who was Wilson's lawyer when the latter first was drawn into the fuss, but Mr. Follette said he, too, was In the dark. Back to the Tombs went Stryker's clerk, only to learn that the bail bond had been accepted by Judge Joseph Mulqueen of general sessions, who committed Wilson as a material witness in Mr. Swann’s grand jury proceedings against Mr. Breck- inridge. There was a hurried consultation of with the engineers of the attack on Mr. Swann’s fitness to hold office. So anxious were they to learn how as a last resort, they called up Dis- .__\ .

He told them, they said, that he had not the slight- est knowledge of the latest event in the life of his chief witness. Inquiry at Wilson’s home, 206 West 140th street, last night brought forth the statement from Mrs. Wilson that she ‘“‘didn’t know where her husband was and wouldn't tell if she did.” As far as could be learned the search for Wilson ended there, since, as long as bail has been furnished, present | he is fully eéntitled to his liberty and can not be called a fugitive unless his Jury is sought and he fails to appear. Mr. Swann can, if he chooses, force Wil- son either to appear today, or to be- come a fugitive hunted by the police, by issuing a subpoena for him to ‘come before the grand jury forthwith.
