as he was of German nationality pre
ferred joining the crew of the under
water craft to the probability of in
ternment in England .At Kirkwall an
other of the Leelanaw's mess boys was
found to be a German and was de
tained.
. Captain Delk, a resident of Phila
delphia, made a matter of fact state
ment regarding the sinking of his ship
and was not inclined to add details to
the main facts as he outlined them.
"There is no story in it," he said.
"We stopped when a shot was fired
behind us and then we had to leave.
Our ship was shelled, bombed and
torpedoed but it took an hour and a
half to sink her. The Germans took
us aboard the submarine, carried us
about sixty miles and then gave us
directions for getting to Kirkwall,
which we reached safely in about 12
hours."
The members of the crew, of whom
there are 32 besides the captain, ex
plained that the German commander
apologized for the necessity of .sink
ing the ship but said it was forced
upon him by the fact that the Lee
lanaw carried contraband.
"Soft Wood
Always''
says the carpenter
when asked about in

Soft lumber is best
because after the nail
is "sunk" the wood
springs back almost to
its normal place. This
reduces the size of
putty spots.
The smaller the nail
holes the less likeli

Special to The Telegraph
Philadelphia, Pa., July 28. —A well
known commission house which has
been very right on the industrial issues,
both local and general, made the fol
lowing important announcement yes
terday which Is of especial interest to
Philadelphians:
"Three months ago the United States
Steel Corporation sold a lot of high
explosive steel to the American Loco
motive Company at $1.55 a hundred
pounds. To-day the Pennsylvania
Steel Company sold for shipment to
France 3,500 tons o fthe same kinds of
steel at $2.90 a hundred pounds."
This order amount to $223,300. Of
course the United States Steel Corpor
ation made a satisfactory profit on Its
order at $1.55 per hundred pounds,
but the Pennsylvania Steel Company
made in addition a profit of $1.35 per
hundred pounds and on the shipment
its total profit over what it would have
had at the former price was $103,700.
This is said to be only a starter, as
more and larger oredrs are in pros
pect. Pennsylvania Steel sold off to $Bl
and closed at SB3. Next year the
shareholders will probably be benefited
by the business now being handled.
The company has put its plans in good
condition to handle all the steel busi
ness that, comas to it and will be able
to handle orders, promptly.
Many Pledge Support
to Burgess Wigfield
Hundreds of friends of Burgess Wig
field. although not surprised when he
announced himself yesterday as a can
didate for nomination for justice of the
peace, were well pleased that he had
, decided to run for the office. Last
night congratulations poured in upon
the Burgess, and many pledged their
hearty support to him at the election
In September.
Much favorable comment was heard In
the streets during the evening as the
news spread of Mr. Wigfield's announce
ment.
GEORGE KVAKVA
George Kvakva, aged 12, died yes
terday at his home, 603 South Third
street, following a lingering illness
caused by an injury-to his hip nine
years ago. Funeral services will be
h£ld to-morrow morning at 9 o'clock
from St. Mary's Catholic church.
Burial will be made In the Mt. Calvary
Cemetery.
PRINTING SCHOOL REPORT
The twelfth triennial report and
manual for the borough public schools
now being printed at the Horvath
Printery, shows an increased Indebted
ness. A balance of more than $3,000
is reported in the treasury. The in
crease in indebtedness is due chiefly
it is said, to the erection of the
Hygienic school building. However,
the feature of the report is an increase
of more than $16,000 in assets com
pared with the figures of three years
ago.

of the people.
Guillaume was dragged from the
protection of the legation. Once in
the streets the crowd surged around
him with imprecations and he was
promptly shot to death.
Even then the anger of the people
was not appeased. The body of the
President was mutilated and, tied to
the end of a rope, it was dragged j
through the streets of the city.
The people of Port Au Prince are
in a state of intense excitement and
further violence is feared.
The arrival of the American cruiser
Washington with Rear Admiral Caper
ton on board, is expected at any mo
ment. The Washington has been on
the north coast of Haiti. M. Girard
was counting on the coming of a
cruiser to afford protection to the
legation.
Admiral Caperton May
Land American Forces
By Associated Press
Washington. July 28. —The cruiser
Washington with Rear Admiral Cap
erton. 700 bluejackets and an expedi
tionary force of 100 marines, sailed
from Cape Haitien last night for Port
Au Prince.
Reap Admiral Benson, acting Secre
tary of the Navy, received a brief
cablegram from Admiral Caperton to
day, saying the Washington sailed at
8 o'clock last night. She should reach
Port Au Prince about noon to-day.
Admiral Caperton will use his discre
tion about landing marines.
Official? do not know what action
he will take in view of the fact that
revolutionists are in possession of the
palace and the town, but it is thought
he will demand that fighting cease
within the city.
WATCH OUT FOR FAKE
MAGAZINE AGENTS
[Continued From First Page.]
"Some of the solicitors even said
the Harrisburg Chamber of Com
merce recommended tnem and their
proposition.
"This was a rank mis-statement be
cause the Chamber of commerce had
turned down the application of those
people to enter the places of business
of their members and annoy their em
ployes by urging them to subscribe
for publications through an out-of
town agency.
Often Impo6ters
"A large percentage of the out-of
town subscription solicitors for dif
ferent publications are imposters sup
plied with fake subscription forms.
Money given to such out-of-town
solicitors too often merely goes into
the solicitor's own pocket and the Har
risburg victim never receives anything
except experience and disappointment
through turning down local news deal
ers and subscribing for publications
through a solicitor who uses strong
methods.
"Harrisburg news dealers and
stationers have advised the Chambtr
of Commerce that they are prepared to
make exactly the same price on sub
scriptions to any publication as can be

Company, which leased the Eastland
last Saturday, Mr. Hoyne said:
"Mr. Greenebaum, m response to
questions at the inquest, admitted that
he knew nothing about the Eastland,
but added that he knew or had heard
that she was not seaworthy."
Day of Public Mourning
Other agencies investigating the dis
aster are continuing their work.
Secretary William C. Redfleld, of the
Department of Commerce, who is here
on instructions from President Wilson,
said he had not decided whether his
Inquiry will extend to all of the lake
passenger traffic or whether It will be
confined to the Eastland. "For the
time being we will confine ourselves to
the case in hand," he said.
In response to a proclamation by
Mayor Thompson, Chicago observed
to-day as a day of public mourning.
The city hall Is closed and the burial
of almost 700 of the excursionists re
covered from the river took place.
Facilities are lacking properly to
handle the funerals and services over
as many as thirty bodies were held
simultaneously In a church. Because
there are not enough teams and elec

dead were removed to cemeteries In
