PULLAR & NIVEN NAVAL SHIP GUARD L-BOAT PRISONERS American Gunners Believed Taken to Germany—May Ber Shot Washington, Aug. 13.—The navy department last night announced that it had received word in connection with its report of the sinking by a German submarine of the Standard Ofl tanker Campana, flying the Amer- ican flag, that the merchant captain and four members of the armed guard on the vessel probably were taken prisoners by the submarine. The navy department’s announce- ; ment regarding the loss of the Cam- pana, reads: ‘“The Standard Oil tanker Campa- na, an American steamer, was sunk by a submarine on the morning of Aug. 6 143 miles west of Ile de Re. Forty-seven survivors reached land in safety. It s believeq that the captain of the steamer and four of the armed guard are prisoners on the submarine.” Coming on the heels of the reports of brutality in the treatment of Amer- icans of the British steamer British Prince, who were drowned after sur- rendering, by being placed on the back of the submarine, which sub- merged, lea.vln‘ the helpless crew of the torpedoed ®craft on the subma- rine’'s deck to perish, the reports of the capture of the American armed guard are viewed with very grave concern by American officials. The further probability was considered that if the merchant. captain was taken to a German port, along with the four members of the guard, the German naval authorities. might un- dertake tp execute them as was done in the case of Captain Charles Fry- att of the . British steamer .Brussels, who was put to death more than a year ago after summary condemna- tion before a German naval court. Captain Fryatt was executed because #t was alleged that he rammed a German submarine. Germany has from time to time not ; only uttered its protest against the arming of merghant vessels but Ger- man newspapers have announced it to be the intention of the German government to execute members of naval crews on such vessels. Whether Germany would be brutal enough to accord to American naval men, when taken prisoners, treatment other than that to which they are entitled under the laws of civilized warfare remains to be determined. The United States government. will Insist that any of its citizens or mem- bers of its armed guards captured be treated according to the laws govern- Ing prisoners of war. FORCED TO LEAVE JASSY.

GERMAN WIRELESS PLANT OFF MEXICO Outiit Found ‘on Lobos Island and Lighthouse Kceper Is Placed Under, Arrest. Mexico City, Aug. 13.—What is be- lieved to have been a German infor- mation forwarding station has been discovered on Lobos Island, a light- house station off the Mexican coast, northeast of Tuxpam. The Mexican authorities believe the station might have been converted into a submarine or naval base had it not been found. The government Tecently decided to place a radio station on Lobos Island, and when Manuel Rodriguez Gutier- rez, sub-secretary of communications, went to Tampico on a trip of inspec- tion, he sent Alberto Mendez, chief of the wireless department of communi- cations, to the island. On his arrival there Medez found a complete wireless plant in operation. It had been built by the lighthouse keeper, who former- ly was a mechanic. He was unable to give a satisfactory account of how he obtained the apparatus, and he was placed under arrest. Mendez also learned that a launch which had made thé island dts head- quarters had been carrying supplies, arms and ammunitions ta rebels on the mainland who had been inter- rupting traffic around Tuxpam and in- terfering with the oil business. As Mendez, with the keeper; a prisoner, started for the mainland in a lighthouse tender, another vessel put off from the mainland and followed the tender until it was within the three mile limit. Mendex has made a full report and the government is conducting a rigid investigation. Its agents are scouring the coast in search of ether wireless plants.’ COAL: COST TO BE KEPT DOWN. Raise Ten Usual. Pottsville, Pa., Aug. 13.—There is no intention on the part of the big anthracite companies to increase the price of coal more than 10 cents a ton in September, which is the regu- lar increase over summer Dprices which has been in vogue for many years, declare officials of the Phil- adelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company. President W. J. Richards was out of the city, but his assistants pointed out that he has worked unceasingly to keep down the prices of coal to the public since the war began, not- withstanding the fact that wages and everything entering into the produc- tion of coal have largely increased this year. This may be regarded as the reply of the operators to the statement made in Washington yes- terday. Philadelphia and Reading officials, in accordance with the policy adopt- ed by President Richards, believe that the best way to keep down the price of coal is to keep the market stocked as much as possible with fuel, and thus prevent panic stricken buyers from bidding up prices. There wag little indication that it was Sun- day at the great yards of the Phil- adelphia & Reading railway at St. Clair today. Numerous trains, con- taining about 4,000 tons of coal each, were sent down the main line. September Cents As NEGRO KILLED BY TRAIN.
