SUBMARINE A COFFIN
Tragedy While Manoeuyering Oc-
ours to a British Boat Off
Portsmouth Harbor.
RUN DOWN BY & BIG STEAMER
Eleven Men Sealed Up in Her to
Terrible and Certain
Death.

Portsmouth. March 19.-The British
submarine boat No. Al was run down
and sunk off the Nab ightship by
Donald Currie liner, and eleven per-
sons were drowned. including Lieu
tenant Mansergh, the senior officer en-
gagged in submarine work. The liner
passed on and reported that she had
struck torpedo. At the time she
was struck the vessel was off the light
ship engaged in manoeuvers, and was
lying in seven fathoms of water wait
ing the approach of battleship The
boat was one of the newest of the fleet
of submarine vessels, and was built
from the latest models, but she had
always been a bad diver She was
inspected recently by both King Ed
ward and the Prince of Wales.
Net known for Some Hours.
The name of the Donald Currie liner
which struck the submarine boat is
the Berwick Castle from East Lon
don, South Africa. The loss of the
boat was not known for some hours
after the liner had reported to the
manoeuvering fleet that she had struck
torpedo. The officers of the liner
say that they saw glistening, tor
pedo-like hull in the water, and it is
supposed therefore that the submarine
boat rose just before she was struck.
The officers of the feet did not sup
pose for the moment that the sub
marine had been struck and continued
operations, expecting that vessel to re-
appear at some other point.
Terrible Death for the Crew.
Finally search was made and the
| breaking Of the waves revealed the
presence Of the submarine boat. There
| is no doubt that all the members of
! the crew died in their steel tomb. 1t
! is presumed that the Berwick Castle
| in striking upset the trim of the boat
and spilled the gasoline in her tanks,
| rendering her helpless. The crew was

Sheriff Justus has been unable to

Herr will be indicted. 1t is admitted
that he cannot be convicted without

take his own life. Shortly after her
discharge from the hospital the woman

of the victims testified before the jury
that Johnson is the man who passed

he took the life of q man named Phil

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is

for the same cleansing purpose.

Charcoal -effectually clears and improves
the complexion, it whitens the teeth and

It absorbs the injurious gases which

All druggists sell charcoal in one form

MANS SALOON is
NOT HIS CASTLE
Judge Hine Says Policeman IS
Justified. in Chasing Man
into Refectory

A saloon is not sanctuary wherein
the evildoer may find refuge. Neither
is the "barkeep'' a Don Quixote be-
hind whose apron the fugitive from
justice may in safety cuddle. And
there are crucial moments when a po-
iceman may enter SAIGON boldly.
Such is the syllabus OF a decision
handed dawn yesterday by Judge Hine,
of the municipal court, in the case Of
the Brothers Examiner.
Emil and Frank Krammer- were
charged by Patrolman Lindou with as
sault and battery. Frank Krammer,
in addition, was accused of resisting
an officer. Emil is bartender in the sa-
loon kept by his father, Martin Kram-
mer, 445 Wabasha street. Frank
Krammer is employed elsewhere, but

of knight errantry tottered to its fall.

Frank Krammer seized the arm and

Heinl, the cause of the trouble, was
the only person who walked away in
peace.

ANOTHER VICTIM OF
ERNST BRINGS SUIT
Father p. A. Bart, of Milwaukee, Be-
gins Action to ForecIose Mortgages

Rev. P. A. Baart, Catholic priest
living in Milwaukee, fled suits in the
district court yesterday to foreclose
seven mortgages assigned to him by
Casper Ernst, and the validity of the
mortgages and the assignments will
probably be tested.
1t is expected that in nearly, if not
all of the cases, there will be- con-
tests, it being alleged that Ernst made
assignments to others in some in
stances, and that in others the per-
sons alleged to have signed the mort
cages pronounce the documents for
gerieS.
The mortgages in question are al
legged to have been given by Andrew
Louis Fletcher, $500; Jacob Leier,
$3.50; William Herman, $500; Michael
Yagoresk, $3.50, and Stephen Tschida,
$475.
