Double Crew of German Submarine Which Sun HARRISBTJRG |fis|jl& TELEGRAPH LXXXIV— No. 204 CREIMF SIIBMII WHICH SUNK iRIBIC IS HEED 111 EHUD Undersea Boat Not Destroyed, but Caught in Steel Net, Says White Star Officer CRAFT WAS OF LATEST TYPE Place of Capture Not Made Public by Man Who Claims to Know Vessel's Fate By Associated Press New York, Sept. 2.—An officer of the White Star Liner Adriatic, which arrived from Liverpool to-day declar ed that the German submarine which sunk the Arabic had been caught in a steel net and the U-boat's double crew were now prisoners in England. He added that within the past sixty days the British have captured no leas than fifty German submarines. Sir Herbert Holt, president of the Royal Bank of Canada, a passenger, said the members of the British Fi nancial Commission who are coming to New York to effect a readjustment of the foreign exchange situation, were to have sailed 9n the Adriatic but changed their plans at the last min ute. Xo Occasion For Alarm _ From another source it was learned that the commissioners, after can celling their passage on the Adriatic planned to sail for New York by way of Canada. "I see no occasion for alarm In the United States over the sudden drop in foreign exchange, and especially the English pound sterl ing," said Sir Herbert. "I might say that regardless of how low the ex change falls. Great Britain must have the munitions of war she is securing in this country. Also, I feel confident that the exchange matter will soon be adjusted." After stating- positively that the sub marine which torpedoed the Arabic had been captured, the officer said he could not, for obvious reasons, disclose the place of capture, nor detail the circumstances. He said, however, that ,the U-boat was of the latest and larg ' If* 1 type In the German navy, and that ae craft carried a double crew. He understood the Germans now manned all of the large submarines with an auxiliary crew for training purposes. Reason to Be Proud Major General Sir Samuel Hughes, Canadian Minister of Militia and De fense, and recently knighted by King George, was another passenger. He has been visiting the battle front in France and Flanders and training camps in England. "We have every reason to be proud of the Canadians and the Yankees who are fighting with them in the trenches," he said. "I would not at tempt to predict when the war will be over,but I can say that from oUr stand point everything is now very satisfac tory." Sir Robert Borden, Premier of Can ada. was also on board. Six survivors of the Arabic arrived on the Adriatic. None of the passengers saw the tor pedo which sunk the Arabic. John Doherty said he was in his stateroom when he heard a shout and started for the deck. Before he had gone far he said he was shot many feet into the air and landed in the water.

DEMOCRATS ARE NOT SINCERE IN CLAIMS Their Leaders Sought at Least Two of Republican Candidates They Now Criticise Republicans generally throughout the city are shaking hands with them selves over the unconscious humor of the Democratic situation respecting the selection of school directors. It appears that at least two of the Re publican candidates were in the minds of the Democra'lc fc «sses as nonparti san selections. In fact, when the Tele graph stated the other day that one of the Republican candidates had been approached by the chairman of the Democratic city committee with a view to placing his name on a nonpartisan school board ticket this paper was not aware of the fact that another of the Republican candidates, who has since been nominated by all the par ties, had also been approached by the Democratic machine representatives. These facts are Illuminating and demonstrate the admirable selections of the Republican party in the pres ent campaign. It is also an assurance that the people are likely to bo well served in the school board as a result of the present situation.

Action Has Nothing io Do With Political Situation CONSULTS SQUIRE GARDNER Officer Who Was Dropped From Force Says He Was "Perse cuted" Clinton Jones, recently discharged from Steelton's police force, seeks vindication. As he declared at one of his numer ous appearances before the police committee to defend himself against various charges of misconduct, he has been "wronged;' - or, as his adroit legal aaviser puts it, he feels that he lias been "persecuted." So, therefore, and likewise, for that reason. Mr. Jones seeks to be vindi cated. He has gone to law about it. Late yesterday afternoon, through Ms attorney. Oscar G. Wickersham, Mr. Jones filed action in trespass against Steve Pop and Benjamin F. Lipp, two special officers for the Penn sylvania Steel Company. Mr. Jones, however, did not state just how much "vindication," or, more properly, "damages," he desires. When his attorney was asked the amount of damages his client desired he admitted he didn't know. What's me Answer? His attorney, however, did shed a glimmer of light upon the question as to why the suit was started. It was because of certain affidavits Messrs. Pop and Lipp made, he declared. These affidavits, it will be recalled, played a prominent part In one of the Steelton council's stormiest sessions recently. It was at this session that several of the councllmen declared Jones must leave the force. And a few days later, at a special session, he did. The former officer, now a candidate l'or constable from the Third ward, when seen at the office of Squire T. V. Gardner this morning, was rather re luctant to talk about his suit. Asked why he had filed the suit. Jones replied, evasively: "Well, It's about time, don't you think?" Then he hustled into Squire Gard ner's private office, pulled shut the door and remained closeted a long time with the squire. The case floes not have anything to do with the political situation now existing in Steelton, friends of both Jones and Squire Gardner declared this morning. I. W. W. SPEAKER G 1 ?

Mrs. Elizabeth F.

Brown, formerly employed as a hostler by Dr. Mohr, and Henry Spellman, half brother of Brown. No specific charge has been brought against Mrs. Mohr, who vehemently denied the accusa tions, which she characterized as absurd. Healis had been detained by the police since the shooting as his ac count of the affair conflicted with the given by Miss Emily G. Burger, the doctor's assistant, who was in the automobile and was also wounded. Brown Under Arrest Brown was taken into custody last night after Healis had told the police that he and the hostler had plotted to rob Dr. Mohr on the night of the shooting. The authorities did not be lieve the stories of the negroes and Brown was subjected to a searching examination during which, the police say, he broke down and admitted that he was concerned in the shooting and that Mrs. Mohr had offered him $2,000 to kill her husband.
