MRS. WHEELER INNOCENT, SAYS ‘DIVORCE JURY Claudia Caristedt Wheeler to-day was exonerated by a jury on the charges of marital wrongdoing made by Albert Gallatin Wheeler jr., wealthy banker and son of the Chicago sub- way builder. The former actress was not in court, nor was Mr. Wheeler. Before she left the courtroom last evening, while the jurors were delib- ing, Mra, Wheeler said she w going to her mother’s home in New Rochelle. She collapsed twice during the clos- ing hours of the trial. ‘The jurors spent four hours consid- ering the case. During that time they called for a reading of that portion of the testimony in which witnesses said that Mrs. Wheeler knew months be- fore the divorce suit was brought against her that detectives in the hire of her husband were following her. ‘The jurors considered that if she knew she was being followed it was not probable that she or any other wife would be indiscreet, ‘The first ballot taken showed nine men in favor of acquitting Mra. Wheeler. It was a standing vote and the three who held out were oldor men. Mrs. Wheeler will continue to re- ceive alimony from her husband at the rate of $300 a month, a provision made in a decree of separation award- 4 to her im 1910, whem the couple LY dug and the Bodies thrown in.

The U-20 probably is the submarine which yesterday sank the British steamer Blackwood. The sinking of the U-2 and the capture of her crew gives tremendous satisfaction to Great Britain. The public had been greatly incensed over the report of the Admiralty that three more British ships had been tor- pedoed and sunk yesterday by Ger- man submarines, with a loss of thirty-seven British sailors, There was a unanimous demand by the British prese to-day that cap- tured crews of the undersea raiders be tried as pirates. An announce- ment from Berlin that the U-8, sunk off Dover on March 4, had sunk five British steamers only served to arouse greater indignation against the twenty-nine officers and men of her crew who had been captured, ‘The three British merchant steam- ers sunk yesterday were the Tangis- tas, sunk off Bearborough; Black- The submarine U- U-90 wes built in 1913.
