BANK ROBBEB, CORNERED, TAKES HIS OWN LIFE — After a Thrilling Battle With 60 San Francisco_Policemen. San Francisco, Sept. 12—A thrilling six hour battle between 60 police and George Nelson, a er - 25 years old, wanted for complicity in the rob- hery last month of a Los Angeles.bank, ended at dawn when Nelson's bullet-riddled body was found stretch- ed on a cot in 4 rooming house. He had ended his life by sending a bullet through his head. ‘The police condutted the battle from an upper window of the residence of Bishop Edwin H. Hughes of the Meth- odist Episcopal church, across the street, and from adjacent windows and housetops. A powerful searchlight was placed in the window of another dwell- ing across the street from Nelson's room. The rooming house is in a populous section, and thousands of spectators ‘watched the battle. Policeman Peter Hammond was shot through the arms and legs by Nelson, while Hugh Mac- Beth, a lodger in the same building as Nelson, was probably fatally wounded, Shotguns, repeating rifles and revol- vers were used and hardly a square jnch of Nelson's room escaped the raking fire. . ‘With the coming of daybreak, the officers entered the building and burst through Nelson’s door. Nelson had been dead more than two hours. Three automatic pistols and a quantity of ammunition lay on the table near the body. The floor was littered with glass and splinters and the walls were riddled with shot. Four hundred dollars was found among Nelson's belongings, a part of the loot, it was sald, from the Los An- geles bank. The police learned of Nelson’s where- abouts through the arrest last night of Willlam Juber, sald to_be a com- paniop of Nelson’s in the Los Angeles robbery. Juber was shot in the arm at the time of the bank robbery and had just left the office of a physician when he was taken into custody. A complete confession, the police said, followed. PROVIDENCE POLICE SEARCHING FOR WOMAN Who Accompanied Card to Govern- ment Ammunition Pllnt. Providence, R. } “Septs —Mm! authorities continued cod:y their ef- fort to find the woman alleged to have accompained Nicholas Card, a Newport fisherman, to the government ammu- nition vase on Rose Island, August 25. Card is belng held in $2,000 bonds for a hearing next Friday on a charge of tregpass. sistant United States District At- torney Peter C. Cannon denied to- day that he was investigating the movements of a foreign woman of high rank on suspicion that she was the head of an elaborate system of espion- age. He said the government was merely trying to satisfy itself as to the identity of the woman who was in the boat with Card on the day he is said to have landed on the government reservation where ammunition and torpedo war heads are stored. Card is said to have told the authorities that she was the wife of a chief petty office of the navy. Mr. Cannon said investigation had disproved this. The guards on the reservation who watch- ed the woman through their fleld glasses described her as a stranger, well dressed, apparently of refinement and of foreign birth. In order to in- vestigate the matter further, Mr. Cannon said he thought it best to have Card held in heavy bonds on °~ the ground that some of the circumstnces gave the case a suspicious aspect.

Ambassador Bernstorff Hopeful. The ambassador is optimistic in spite of the growing serious concern here over the state of relations be- tween the United States and the Ger- mani¢ allies, following the receipt of a disappointing note from Germany op the Arabic and the request for the recall of Ambassador Dumba, of Aus- tria. It is held in German circles that | has the Arabic note with its reiteration of the announcement that the submarines are under orders not to sink peaceful liners without warning, is In accord with assurances already given the state department and confidence is felt that an agreement can be reached for arbitration of the question of rep- aration. Washington Officials Silent. High officials of the administration were silent again today regarding the entire situation. President son and Secretary Lansing are ¢onsidering the testimony of survivors of the Arabic, all tending to show that the Arabic was torpedoed without warning while proceeding peacefully on the high seas, in connection with the Ger- mans declaring the submarine com- mander launched his torpedo because the liner’s actions convinced him he was about to be attacked. Belief is expressed in official quarters that while the German explanation is con= sidered weak and unsatisfactory the United States will consent to the pro= posal that the question of indemnity be arbitrated .on condition that dis- cussion be limited to the question of fact as to whether the submarine commander was justified, without in- volving the general principles for which this government has contended, Memorandum_ Not Decipheredy “The German memorandum on the Orduna case reached the state de- partment during’the day but was not deciphered in time for consideration, It probably will be before Se Lansing tomorrow, when Count Von Bernstorff reaches the department, furnishing an aditional phase for dis- cussion. No intimation as to the con- tents of the memorandum has been given officially. In German quarters it is thought probable the Berlin gov- ernment declares the torpedo which missed the Orduna was fired in the beltef that the vessel was not a pas- senger-carrying ship. RHODE ISLAND'S WAR GOVERNOR DEAD William Sprague Succumbs to Men- ingitis in Paris. Paris, Sept. 12—Willlam Sprague, famous war governor of Rhode Is- land and twice United States senator from that state, died at his residence here early yesterday, at the age of 84 vears. Death was due to meningitis, coupled with the infirmities of age. Williamn Sprague was the last of the Civil war governors. He outlived every member of Lincoln's cabinet, every chief executive of the states and nearly every member of congress of the war period. He probably was the youngest man in this countyy ever elected to the ,,o\ernorship of a state. When only 29 years of age, in 1860, he was chosen hode Island’'s chief executive, serving three consecutive terms of one r each. In his third campaign only 65 votes were cast against him in the whole state. Born in Cranston, R. I, in 1830, he early inherited a large fortune. The ily had been prominent al industrial and social state since the revolution. Young Sprague anticipated the Civil war. For two years prior to the out- break of the the war he maintained two full batteries of artillery at his own expense.
