Newport, R. I, Oct. 9.—The whole- pele raid on foreign shipping south of Nantucket lightship Sunday was the work of one submarine, according q of American nav officers. ‘Rear Admiral Albert com- manding the torpedo flotilla which did su speedy rescue work yesterds night that the reports of all his officers agreed that to the best of their ob- servation one raider only was con- cerned. This_boat, presumably, was the German U-53, which called at Newport Saturday afternoon to mail a letter to Ambassador Bernstorff, and then put to sea without taking on an ounce of supplies, although she was 17 days from her base, according to the statement of her officers. Only One Submersible, Admiral Gleaves said he could easily understand the po: atements of the captain of the Nantucket lightship and of the sailors of the torpedoed ves- sels that more than one submersible was concerned. The U-hoat, he sald, was very fast and appeared to have been handled cleverly. It was.easy, he pointed out, for her to disappear on one side of a ship and then show Gleaves, boat h mander of the torpedo flotilla, dis- claimed in a statement tonight, abso- lutely any prior knowledge of the in- tentions of the German U-boat “My only information,” he said, * contained in an S. O. S. message which said that the steamer West Poi been sunk and that her crew taken to the boats. The natural thing to do was to order out every av: able vesel to search for the crew it happened it was fortunate that we had so many ships out and I am very glad that we were able to render the aid we did.” He concluded with that nothing had passed betw him nd Captain Rose during their formal Is which gave any indication as to what the plans of the U-boat com- mander were. Commendation for Rescue Work. Admiral Gleaves received today from various sources, official and oth- erwise, commendation for the rescue work of the various vessels under his command. He also received a num- ber of offers of aid and supplies for the care of the survivors, lnéY\lepQ; one from E. A. Morsé of YonRers, N, Y., director of the Atlantic division of the Red Cross. To all these proffers the declaration up unexpecteily at anot spot.

Shipping Men Not Reassured. Notwithstanding the Iull in subma- rine activities today, shipping men Wwere by no Ineans reassured. only one raider were concerned she might be waiting only to replenish her sup- Dlics, they believed. This gave rise to a renewal of re- ports that elaborate methods of sup- plying foreign submarines from Amer- ican bases had beer perfected. In order to Gispose so far as possi- ble of claims of this sort as applied to the Narragonsett bay district, Wil- liam H.

Emergency Committee Organized. In the midst of the uncertainty re- ling the future movements of the German raiders, memb of the fash- ionable summer colony here met today and took steps to organize an emer- gency committee to work in conjunc tion with the Newport chapter of the Red Cross Society in case of a removal of the wholesale sinking of foreign shipping. It was planned to have this committee prepare supplies and equip- ment for instant use and to list av able automobiles and ambulanc to take other steps to give qui in an emergency. Among those par- ticipating ir the conference were Mrs. R. Livingston Beeckman, wife of Gov- ernor Beeckman; M: Elsie French Vanderbilt, Mr: Ernest Howe, Mr: Daniel B. Fearing, Dr. Charles D). Bas- ton and Rev. Roderick Terry. quarters the opinion was d today that another outbreak if she had any, would not be surprising. It was reported by members of the crew of the steamer Strathdene that the submarine which sank her had filled her fue] tanks with oil from the Nor- wegian tank steamer Chr Knudsen be- fore the latter was sent to the bottom. Other refugees have declared that they saw a German supply ship ho ering in the vieinity of the raid Sun- ay. Although fuel tanks may have been replenishad from the Norwegian na- val officers expressed the opinion that after a day of such remarkable activ- terday’s, the submarine must of ammunion. Reports of many of the refugees agree that the submersible which halted their ship was prodigal in the use of shells and most of them were of the opinion that after their steamer had been shelled it was given her finishing blow by a torpedo.

ALLEGED EXTORTION FOR WILSON CAMPAIGN FUNDS Democratic National Committee Trouble Over Discovery Made. in New York, Oct. 9.—The democratic national committee is in trouble over the discovery of its attempt to extort Wilson campaign funds from post- masters and other federal office hold- ers. Chairman McCormick undertook at first to deny utterly that any such attempt was being made. He said the charge was “arrant nonsense, and ab- solutely untrue.”” Then he learned that the republican national commit- tee had proof that the charge was true. Thereupon Mr. McCormick sought cover by making public a letter written by the Texas state chairman, instructing the bagmen how to vio- late the law and escape the peniten- tiary and announcing that he and the rest of the democratic national com- mittee repu: ted it. But a great deal more is needed from Mr. McCormick in the way of explanation and denial before the case is closed. Something is needed also from Postmaster Gen- el Burleson in whose state, Texas, this attempt at extortion was made. Something is needed also from Mr. D. o resigned the office of stant postmaster general to become a member of the democratic national campaign committee, cited by Mr. Ridgeway as authority for the extortion scheme. When Mr. McCor- mick has given due attention to this case from Texas he may be ready to take up the ington, and gangmen who of Wash- ion of the ietive in collect- ing assessment from federal office- holders ther HUGHES REGISTERS FOR THE NOVEMBER ELECTION | Has Not Voted nce He Was Elected Associate Justice in 1910, Oct. 9. — Charles E. tered for the November tod voter to do so in the He was the first Third election district of the twenty-fourth assem- district, his voting precinct ever since he was governor of New York.

It was conceded today that the new undersea boat activity, with its resultant with- drawal of many ship bottoms, would cause more or less freight congestion here and in other ports. Should the situation necessitate it, it was stated, embarzoes would be placed to prevent the arrival in the east of more freight than could be transported abroad. WHEAT VALUES BROKE SEVERELY YESTERDAY Because of the Wholesale Destruction of Vessels Off Massachusetts Coast Chicago, Oct. 9.—Wheat values broke severely today, 4 3-4 cents a bushel, altogether on account of wholesale de- struction of vessels and because of the fact that sailings were being can- celled on a large scale. Sharpened export demand, however, rallied the market, which closed firm at 1 1-2 @ 2 3-4 cent net decline, with Decem- ber at 157 1-4 and May at 156 3-4. Corn finished 3-8 to 518 cents down, oats off 3-4 and provisions showing a loss of five cents to fifty-two cents. Excited rushes to sell carried down wheat prices in some cases 4 1-2 cents right at the outset, but evidence that exporters were actively buyving on the decline caused confidence to some ex- tent to replace semi-panic. Recovery in_quotations was making rather no- table progress until word came that British vessel owners were giving or- ders to postpone departures at such leading ports as Philadelphia and Bal- timore. Then the weakness in the wheat market was temporarily renew- ed and the breaks were worse even than at the opening. Export buying, however, again became apparent and to a considerable extent offset fears that business with Europe would be seriously curtailed by inability to make Admira] Gleaves, (o - most of the railroads.agreed lmit shipments.

Details of Sinking of the Strathdene CAPTAIN SAYS SHIP WAS AT- TACKED WITHOUT WARNING. 13 SHOTS WERE FIRED ms That the Ship Was Fired on Before the Officers and Crew Got Into the Boats — Was Later Tor- pedoed. Cl New York, Oct. 9.—Thirteen shots were fired at the British steamship Strathdene, one of the vessels sunk by a German submarine off Nantucket yesterday before the 35 members of the crew had taken to their boats, ac- cording to Captain Wilson, the Strath. dene’s commander, who was brought here today with his crew by the Uru- guayan steamer Plm No. 4. Attacked Without Warning. “My ship was attacked without warning,” declared Captain Wilson after he had given a detailed state- ment of the incident to the British consul-general. “Thirteen shots were fired before we left the vessel. None of the shots, however, struck the ship until we had taken to the boats.” Under instructions from the con- sul-general, Captain Wilson declined to give out further information. Con- sular officials said Captain Wilson’s report first would have to be forward- ed to the British ambassador at Wash- ington before he could discuss the sinking of the Strathdene. Members of the Strathdene’s crew said that after they had pulled away from their ship, they saw the s marine approach’ the oil steamer Chris- tian Knudsen, whose crew scemed to be getting ready to lower their boats.

Conference on Submarine Raids SECRETARY LANSING TO CON- SULT PRESIDENT WILSON. TO VISIT SHADOW LAWN The German Ambassador Has Discuss- ed Wig,h President Wilson the New Activities of German Submarines— Letter from Kaiser. Long Branch, N. J., Oct. 9.—Secre- tary Lansing, it was announced to- night, will come here tomorrow for a conference with President Wilson con- cerning German submarine raids off the American coast. Mr. Lansing is expected to remain over night at the president’s summer residence. Concern Over the Situation, The announcement that the secretary of state would confer with the presi- dent confirmed the impression gained here earlier in the day that the Ameri- | can government considered the attacks on vessels oft the American coast by a German submarine as fraught with grave possibilities. At the same time it was made clear that there is nothing in the repor received to show that international law or the earlier promises of Germany have been vio- lated. Concern over the situation cen- tered chiefly about the possibility of what might happen if the submarine attacks are continued. Personal Letter from Kaiser.
