think It is a legitimate argument In favor
OF such an appropriation that congressman

French Submarine
Torn from Mud
Bed by Current
Wrecked Warship, with It's Twenty
Seven Dead, is Vagrant in I'm
derwaters Of Channel.

LONDON, May 27-The French sub
marine Pluviose. with it's crew of twenty
seven dead, is today a vagrant in the
M Wderwaters Of the English channel. For
hours the divers had struggled to prepare
the way for the raising OF the i50-ton
weight. when the wounded war craft, under
the pressure OF the swift lower current.
shook itself free from its mud moorings
and drifted away. Late this afternoon it
had not been again located.
CALAIS, France, May T.-Hope that any
OF the twenty-seven men imprisoned in the
French submarine Pluviose, which was
sunk by the Pas De Calais off here yester-
day. survive was all but abandoned this
afternoon.
Reports made by the divers who, under
great difficulty, are attempting an exam
ination of the wreck indicate that the hull
Of the submarine was crushed IN the collis-
ion A flotilla of torpedo boats and dredges
with the force of divers worked vainly
throughout the night to raise the vessel
from its bed 100 feet below the surface.
Strong currents interfered greatly with the
operations and at noon today little had
been accomplished.
The steamer Pas De Calais sighted the
periscope of the Pluviose some seventy feet
ahead and backed, but too late to avoid a
collision. The lookout, who first saw the
perscope, said today that he had never
seen such an instrument before, and mis-
took 1t for a buoy. The report that the
Pluviose was operating beneath the chan.
mel steamer in furtherance Of its practice
in torpedoing passing vessels is not gen.
orally credited.

OMAHA THE BUTTER TOWN
Chicago Commission Men Peevish Be-
cause Packers Buy Direct.
BUYING NOW FOR STORAGE
David Cole Says that Packers Have
Cut Out the Commission Men,
to the Advantage of the
Omaha Market,

Disappointed Chicago commission men
and the loss Of dominating power by the
Elgin board are held by Omaha butter men
to be the actuating causes of the declara-
tion of war which L. l.. McAdam, as leader.
has declared against the packers who are
buying the butter output here.
1--WE are selling our butter direct to the
packers" said David Cole, referring to the
Chicago fuss. Heretofore the packers
bought their butter through the Chicago
commission dealers in large quantities and
now these dealers have lost the business"
Mr.. Cole did not apparently attach any
great significance to the declaration of
McAdams that they would force the price
of butter to 81 a pound and drive the pack
ers out of the butter business.
THE packers are buying our butter and
that is all there is too It," said the Omaha
creamery man. Il don't know what Elgin
is going to do about it at the meeting to
be held Saturday"
The move on the part of the Omaha but
ter men in selling direct to the packers is
in line with Mr. Coles position announced
some weeks ago, when he insisted thai
there was no reason why Omaha SHOULD
not be the one great butter market
Butter is now being stored by the pack
ers. They are paying an average price o
| IS cents pound, about 2 cents higher thar
at this time last year. According to tn
dealers here the packers are buying ii
relatively the same quantities that the,
have for the. last two years.

with Intent to Kill.
MORE EVIDENCE IS COMING IN

Brings In More Witnesses Who
Claim to Know of the
Dynamite Episode.

Frank Erdman, the man held on sus-
picion of having placed the Internal ma
chine on Tom Dennison's porch was ar
raigned on charge of assault with In
tent to kill before Judge Crawford Fri
day morning. Erdman pleaded mot guilty"
and said he was willing to face pre-
liminary hearing next Friday.
The charge against Erdman carries with
it a penalty of from two to fifteen years
if convicted. Captain Savage signed as
complaining witness against the prisoner
Deputy Circuit Attorney Piatti acted as
prosecutor,
Erdman was subjected to an inquisiton
for a half hour Friday morning, through
which he maintained complete denial of
guilt The prisoner advanced an alibi con-
cerning his movements during the time the
dynamite bomb is supposed to have been
placed on the Dennison porch.
He declared he was at the Calumet res
taurant from u o'clock to l o'clock Sun
day afternoon, and was in his room from
l o'clock to 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon,
on the day the attempt at dynamiting was
made.
Acting Chief Mostyn was furnished with
considerable more evidence Friday that
Erdman had known Tom Dennison and
| had threatened his life. c. NJ. Valentine
lawyer and dealer in land at Chadron
| Neb., visited the captain and recounted in
| terviews he had with Erdman at Chadron
in which the suspect freely announced his
| intention of returning to Omaha and kill
| ing Dennison. The threats were madJ
about five weeks ago, according to Mr.
valentine.
| Captain Mostyn also said that five per-
sons have been found who say they car
recognize Erdmans suitcase and revolver
and will call at the station Friday night
or Saturday and inspect the instruments
which made up the Internal machine oi
which Erdman is thought the maker Cap
tain Mostyn stated the witnesses are resi-
dents of Crawford, Neb., but declined to
mention their names.
The acting chief declared there is 9
| grist of information coming in daily against
Erdman and that it was his opinion the
evidence would prove to be of a direct and
damning nature, and not circumstantial, as
has been thought.
THE public is aroused over the dyna-
mite affair" said Captain Mostyn, land
dozsns of persons have volunteered to fur
nish various sorts of information agains
