PLAINFIELD Clarence Hudson, Alias Ernest Shil- ler, German Stowaway, Who Cap- tured British Steamship Matoppo, Once Worked in Lawton Mill— Thought Mentally Unbalanced. There is much interest among the people of Plainfield in connection with the case of Clarence Reginald Hud- son, allas Ernest Shiller, the German stowaway, who capturel the British steamship Matoppa at sea and cowed her crew of 56 men. Hudson worked in Plainfield, for the Lawton Mills Corporation, 'for about a month last fall. Hudson, while in Plainfleld, claimed that he had just come from Boston where he arrived from England after the outbreak of the war. Hudson se- cured work in the card room of the Lawton Mills Corporation and board- ed at the home of Mrs. Jane Taylor on Babcock avenue. He seemed to be a refined gentleman and was excep- tionally bright, being able to converse freely with German and Russian ac- quaintances of this place. While here Hudson made numerous acquaintanc to whom he told many incidents his life. of However, some of his stories did not corroborate with others which he told to different persons here. Hudson claimed that he was a Ger- man and on more than one occasion he said fervently that he hoped and pray ed that the German cause would su ceed. Boarders at the Taylor House claim that Hudson always read the w: news and at the time when the king of England was injured from a fall from his horse, Hudson jumped u from the chair which he was sitt and cheered loudly for the German cause. It was the belief of most of the peo- ple here who met Hudson that he was mentally unsound. He was recognized here by the newspaper photographs. He boarded the British steamship Matappo on a Thursday evening and hid in a lifeboat until the following Wednesday when the boat sailed from port. He had in his possession two revolvers, some sandwiches and a flask of whiskey. He claimed that he suf- fered intensely from scarcity of food. After the vessel was out a_day, Hud- son came out from his hiding place and captured all the officers and scared them by telling them of bombs which he had planted on the ship. He promised the crew and officers that if they would not take advantage of him he would not take advantage of the position he was in by sinking the ship. The captain of the Matappo bezged for his life and the life of his officers and crew and said that if he lost the ship he and his officers would have to begin life over again and the first mate corroborated his story. Hudson hought that he would not be justified n killing any of them by sinking the ship. Hudson ordered the course of the ship changed to the southeast. His idea was to take the ship to some port in Mexico, but fearing the patrol of British cruisers capes, he later ordered the ship steer- ed to the west.. Geneva Evans died at} off the Virginian Hudson began to realize that he was not master of the ship and knew that he must get control of the wire- less. He therefore made a mate take him to the wireless Louse. Under Hudson's orders the mate was made to_destroy the wireless, but doing it haif-heartedly, Hudson took the axe from him and’ completely smashed the mechanism. Hudson then went to the captain’s cabin and ordered tea. He made the Englishmen drink to the health of the German who had taken the ship. Hudson had relied on the captain’ word that he would maintain strict control of his officers and crew, but the captain had played him false. The ship had been signalling for aid for several hours and succeeded in se- curing assistance; Hudson was cap- tured and taken ashore. He is now waiting trial on a charge of “suspic- ion of conspiring” to dynamite the Cunard liner Panmonia. Hudson feared that he would be de- ported to England to be tried, and hanged as a spy and has besged to be tried here. Plainfield people are watching the outlaome of the case with much inter- es Hudson was discharged here which caused his leaving Plainfield. Deciding Game in Norwich. The Loval Livingstone Lodge, 1.

Landis, agents for the powder company, with undertaking to defeat the house bill, and added that if Du Pont or efther of the agents would write a specific denia! of the charge he would offer it to be read in the senate. “If the powder company does mot avail itself of the opportunity for this public denial” said Senator Under- wood, “it will be convincing to me that my assertions in a_speech of last night were not unfounded.” BITTER FACTIONAL FIGHTS IN CHICAGO POLITICS Mayor Thompson Contending for Control of the Council. Chicago, April 3.—With bitter fac- tional fights on both republican and democratic sides in nearly all of the thirty-five wards in the city, the 1916 aldermanic campaign closed tonight. The present city council is composed of thirty-five republicans, twenty-nine democrats, two progressives, two so- cialists and two independents. Mayor Willlam Hale Thompson is fighting for control of the council. He is opposed in nearly every ward by friends of former Governor Charles S. Dineen and others unfriendly to the city administration. In the closing hours of the cam- paign the suicide of Dr. Theodore Sachs, who recently resigned as head of the municipal tuberculosis sanitar- lum after declaring he had been hounded to death by politicians, be- came an important issue. Mayor Thompson declared political ene- mies were using Dr. Sachs’ death as campaign material. On the demo- cratic side the fight is between sup- porters of Roger C. Sullivan and for- mer Mayor Carter H. Harrison. SEA OF FIELD ICE CAUSE OF WRECK Copper Sheathing Torn from Sides of Schooner Annie E. Larder.
