Appeal Issued by Police
to Man Who Killed Youth
TO the Man Who Did the
Shooting:
If you killed Edward Boland while
protecting tho life of a woman, you
were performing a manly act.
I assure you that if you shot this
man solely for tho protection of
yourself and possible companion, you
cannot bo looked upon as a mur
derer. Your act was justifiable if you
felt convinced that you were about
to bo attacked and waylaid.
You owe it to the family of tho
murdered youth as well as to the
community to como forward and
make proper explanation.

"If tho man will come to ui with a

"This Is the most baffling thing wo have

since tho murder wo have not found the
smallest clue. Thero has not even been
a letter from a crank, Usually such a
mystery brings us several letters and tele
phono calls from persons who admit they
are guilty of the crime. In this case there
has not even been that."
'Acting Captain Wood called upon every
policeman and detective In the city today
to give their attention to the case. At

CROSSES- IN 23 DAYS
By CARL W. ACKERMAN
BCULI.V, Aug. 21. Tho German com
merce submarine Deutschland eluded at
least eight English warships nnd a whole
fleet ot American fishing schoonerH in tho
employ of tho Allies when sho dashed out to
sea from tho Virginia capes on the night of
August 2, it wa3 learned hcio today.
Captain Koenig had no fear ot tho Allied
warship patrol when ho steamed southward
from Baltimore, but ho had not counted
on .tho American tchooncra hlied to help
trap hls vessel. Passing out of tho capes
the Deutschland encountered n great num
ber of theso schooners lying just outsldo
Chesapeake Bay. Tho schooners had dropped
their nets, ostensibly to fish. Their real
purpose, Captain Koenig said, was to mako
soundings for tho Dnutschland, alining to
algiml Allied warships if the subniarino
plunged through their nets.
Koenig telegraphed tho Ocean Company,
owners of his vessel, that the American
Government observed correct neutrality
throughout tho Doutschland's stand. Both
the British and French warships respected
American rights and mado no attempt to
approach within tho thrcc-mllo zone In
their efforts to trap tho submarine. How
many French warships wero engaged in
the patrol ho did not know.
Oreat crowds greeted Captain Koenig
and his crow whon tho first submersible to
cross tho Atlantic returned tc her homo
port nt Bremen last night.
UNDER WATEH ONLY 110 MILES.
During the wholo journey of 4200 miles
tho Deutschland was hubmersed for only
110 miles. The weather was splendid at
tho beginning of her voyage, but bejime
stormy later. The blow ceased as tho
Deutschland approached the English coast,
but some difficulty was experienced becvJse
of the heavy fog. Tho necessity for fuel
ing her way slowly In tho thick mists de
layed the Deutschland's arrival several
days.
Upon entering tho North Sea the sub
marina encountered severe storms. She
proved her excellent sencraft, her engines
working perfectly despite tho fact that she
was being rolled by mountainous waes.
But few vessels wero sighted and not a
single Iceberg was encountered. The

MAYOR MAY OUST
HIS SAFETY CHIEF
TO SUIT PENROSE
Smith Persistently Rumor
ed About to Retire Director
Wilson, Vare Man
WOULD WIN OPPOSITION
A persistent rumor that Director William
H. Wilson, of tho Department ot Public
Safety, will return from his 'ncatlon ns n
private citizen became current In political
circles today. Tho rumor. It wan Bald,
could bo traced directly to tho factional
enemies of Wilson In the Republican Organl
atloti, but noutrnl political obscnern pointed
out that thero was some actual basis for
such n rcporf ns a result otvtho Grand
Jury vice Investigation.
It Is an established fact that the Pcnrose
McNIchol wing In tho Organization has been
laying plans to get Wilson's official head
nnd to supplant him with a man less In
clined to glo unswerving allegiance to tho
Vnros. Tho Grand Jury Investigation, It Is
said, gave them Just the opportunity they
had been seeking.
Testimony offered beforo the July Grand
Jury procd Ico In ovory form had flour
ished and giown under Wilson's police rule.
It became known after tho Jury made Its
formal report to Judge Itotlgers that some
membora of tho Investigating body had
favored a recommendation calling Wilson
to account for failure to clenn up tho city.
A majority, however, opposed this recom
mendation. WILSON FOES ACTIVE
Tho enemies of Wilson wero loud In
their declaration that the results of the
probe had established cither that corrup
tion had flourished with Wilson's knowl
edge nnd approval or that ho had proved
himself Incapable of tho ndmlnlstrntlon of
the affaire of the Department of Public
Safety. The frequent declaration of Mayor
Smith, that ho would clean up Philadelphia
no matter who might bo hurt politically,
was recalled In this connection.
it was also reported nt the beginning of
tho probe that tho spectacular Tenderloin
raid of July 15 bad been engineered by tho
Penrose-McNIchol leaders to embarrass the
Mayor either by proving him Insincere In
hl3 pledge. to wipe out vice or to forco him
to remove tho head of the department under
which tho corruption had been allowed to
flourish.
The removal of Director Wilson, It is
said, would completely win the support of
the Penrose-McNIchol faction to Mayor
Smith and would strengthen him politically
because the Vares could not afford to throw
him down on account of one single ehow of

WHEAT PRICES TO SOAR;
"BLACK RUST" IS CAUSE
May Reach Unprecedented Fig
ure; Belt of Northwest Swept
by Severe Epidemic
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21. "Black rust"
probably will be the cause of sending iWicat
prices, soaring to unprecedented heights
with the coming of the spring wheat out
put, according to the United States De
partment of Agriculture today. One offi
cial said ?2 wheat now appears probable.
One of the most severe epidemics of
"black rust" ever recorded has swept the
wheat belt of the Northwest, causing un
precedented damage, presaging a produc
tion far below normal.
Commercial reports arriving at the de
partment not only substantiate the predic
tions of the Government esperts, but, It Is
said, tend to- place the loss at a far greater
figure, with correspondingly high prices
certain for the fall and winter.
The Infected area Minnesota and the
two Dakotas produces, it is said, the great
er part of the spring crop. The reappear
ance of the Hessian fly, with the Inferior
quality of giain sown, will tend to reduce
greatly the crop In other sections of the
country, it Is said-

Basis of Peace Scheme
in Railroad Situation
"DRINCIPAL pcinta of tho plan to
settle the railrond dispute nro:
Railroad presidents yield to
cardinal point of eight-hour day on
10-hour pay basis.
President Wilson gives pledge that
United States Government would
"look with favor" on railroads' ap
plication for increase of freight
rates to meet ndded expense.
President promises by January 1,
1017, a Federal commission to pass
upon all collateral issues nnd that
such bonrd should be permanent as
a guarantee against futuro strike
threats.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21. Follow
ing the formulation of the plan for set
tling the railroad dispute, three of tho
railroads executive committee at noon
today conferred with President 'Wilson,
preparatory to submitting the scheme of
compromise to a meeting of the whole
body of executives at 3 o'clock this
afternoon.
The nature of the conference with
the President has not been learned, nor
has the sentiment of the morning's
session of the executives been revealed.
It is understood, however, that some
opposition to the plan agreed upon by
the executives' committee developed.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 21. A basis for
the settlement ot the threatened nation--wide
stilke of railroad workers was reached
today by tho committee of railroad execu
tives In chargo ot negotiations for the rail
roads. The groundwork for nn ultimate peaceful
conclusion of tho crisis was developed
after conferences between tho raljroad
executives' committee. President "Wilson an4
congressional leaders.
The basis of settlement, was satisfactory
In substanco to President Wilson, and, the
White House announced that the President
expected tho final reply ot the railroad
heads to his settlement plan Jater in the
day.
The executives' committee prepared a
statement of the tentative settlement for
presentation to the general conference of
executives. This statement was submitted
at noon today to the general conference.
Only the approval of the gentral confer
ence was required to make tho suggested
basis a matter of negotiation between the
railroad heads and the President, and It
was believed that tho executives would ac
cept the verdict of their committee without
undue discussion. ,
THE AGREEMENT.
The general outline --of the agreement

That the railroad hall at onee ac

That the President nil nil allure th

That the President tliull aiinra the
