.ELtvEN MEN SINK WITH
BRITISH SUBMARINE
Officers and Men Who Went
Down After Collision Are
Given Up as Dead

LONDON, Feb. ELEVEN officers
and men, the crew of the submarine
A3 went down with their craft near
Princess Shoals, off the Isle of Wight,
after a collision with the torpedo boat
Hazard, today.
The only hope that the men may
yet be saved is the scant one that tho
water-tight compartments had all
been closed prior to the smash and
that the machinery can be repaired
so that the craft may be re-fioated. Al
the admiralty little hope is held out
and it is said that the reports received
indicate that the A3 filled with water
after being hit by the Hazard and
sank Immediately.
Warships of the Channel fleet were
ordered to the scene of the disaster
by wireless. They Immediately ar
ranged to send divers down If possible
to determine whether the men impris-
oned in the hulk are alive or whether
all died instantly.
The scene of the wreck was only a
short distance from where the Al, a
craft similar to that wrecked today,
was sunk I'm a collision on March "a,
300, and her crew of thirteen were
lost.
The commandant of the Portsmouth
naval station reports there is no
doubt the two officers and nine men
on the submarine were drowned. Fol
lowing the crash, he said, gas and air
bubbles were seen by the crew Of the
Hazard showing that a hole had been
knocked In the submarine. The sub
marine was partly submerged when
the Hazard struck her going at a good
speed and the officers OF the Hazard
are certain the A3 was almost cut in
two. The commander Of the AS,
Lieut.. Crazen was ashore at the time.
His two assistants, Lieut.. s. NJ. Or

PROBLEMS OF LABOR AND
HIGH COST OF LIVING
Also Proposes Construction of
Railroad in Alaska To
Develop Resources

Opposes Government Ownership
Plan Where Efficiency Can Be
Had by Private Interests

WASHINGTON, Feb. "A search
ing investigation into the problems
that estrange labor and capital. caus-
ing industrial warfare, is proposed Dy
President Taft In q special message
sent today to congress. The presi-
dents views on the high cost of liv-
ing, government ownership of public
utilities, Alaskan development, rehab-
ilitation OF the public land laws and
a score OF minor problems are touched
on in the message. or the disputes
between labor and capital, the presi-
dent says:
I'VE all see the grave objections to
strikes and lockouts, however neces-
sary they may be in extreme cases,
and we are ready to criticise the more
extreme phases of the industrial con-
flict, such as boycotts and blacklists; T;
but we leave the situation such that
industrial disputes lead inevitably to
a state of industrial war In which
these are the only weapons left to the
two combatants."
On the high cost of living, the pres
ident urges the appropriation OF $20.-
900 for a commission TO cooperate
with similar foreign bodies in an In
vestigation, declaring that the "phe-
nomenon of raising prices is quite gen.
eral throughout the world
Speaking of government ownership,
though not referring TO the federal
control OF telegraph lines advocated
by Postmaster-General Hitchcock, the
president declared himself opposed to
the idea In many instances, where
"a int, nf
the service can he had by private en-.
terprise."
For Alaska, the president proposes
government construction of a railroad
from the Matanuska coal fields, com
mission form OF government and spe-
cial homestead land laws, asserting
that action by congress is imperative
for immediate development of the ter.
ritory. The railroad, to tap Alaska's s
vast coal deposits. is characterized as
an exceptional step" but one which.

Ing, with his attorney, Judge FilIius.
OF that city, and informed District At,
torney Tuttle that he was prepared
to enter pleas OF nollo contenders
both on behalf OF the company and
himself. The matter was brought TO
the attention OF Judge Angel and the
probabilities are that 1t will come up
at the opening OF court, Saturday
morning.
Before the court can accent the
plea OF nolle contendere, which is
practically a plea OF guilty. the for
mer pleas OF not guilty entered by
these defendants must be withdrawn.
and Mr.. Ward, through his attorney,
stands ready to make the necessary
motion. In fact, the pleas OF nolle
contendere are already prepared.
Whether Judge Angel viii impose
sentence Immediately, II the pleas are
accepted, is matter of some specu-
lation.
There is no telling what may hap
pen between now and Feb. 6, the date
set for the beginning of the trial OF
the bathtub trust defendants. The &C.
tion Of the Day-Ward Co., may precip-
itate a stampede on the part OF the
other defendants and 1t is regarded
as possible that the case may not 60

That at least several other defend

GOV, OSBORN'S FIRM STAND
AGAINST BREWERIES WINS

Christian Citizenship of State
Should Stand by Him, Says
Rev. G. J. Tannar
DIR. FIXES PRAISES, TOO
Commends Fight on Agency
That Brings About Disinte-

DIR. FIXES PRAISES, TOO

II strongly indorse Gov. Osborn's
stand against the breweries and sa-
looms said the Rev. Charles j. Tan
mar, OF the Central Christian church,
Detroit, to The Times, Friday, in
speaking of the governors denuncia-
ton OF the brewers domination in
state politics.
The governor is certainly to be
admired for his fearless and courage
GUS manner OF expressing his conyic-
llons." Mr. Tannar continued. From
the beginning, ever since he termed
the saloon a social saprophyte,' he
has demonstrated that he is unequiv-
ocally opposed to the liquor interests.
am convinced, too, that he is sim
cere in what he says. Personally,
think he is good man TO have as
governor, and | hope the people or
the state view him in the same light.
The Christian citizenship of the state
should stand by him.
Il believe that we should stick to
Gov. Osobrn until a better man can
be produced. I am not stickler for
any man because Of his politics;
1 stand more for men and measures
than politics. But in Gov. Osborn
feel that we have man who is hon.
est, vigorous and square. That is
why think he ought TO be supported
The Rev. Maurice Penfeld Fixes,
pastor of the Woodward-ave. Baptist
church, also eommends the governor
for his stand.
ANY man who comes out with an
expression against an agency which
brings about the disintegration of the
social bulwarks of the state is TO be
commended" said DR.. Fixes. Such
man is deserving OF appreciation,
no matter what motive he may have
for taking the position. II shows that
he stands for the best interests OF
the state, and that he has the cour-
age of his convictions.
Il am non-partizan in politics, but
| admire what Gov. Osborn has done.
| believe in putting principle before
party. And that stand by the way
is likely TO cost me my vote next fall.
When | went to the booth at Rowena
and Brush-sts., the other day, to en-
roll. | was asked to what party | be-
longed. | told them that ii was none

WOULD COMPEL TRANSFERS
ON THREE-CENT TICKETS
City Begins Suit Against d. U.
r., Involving Construction
of Pingree Ordinance

AS the latest move in the war
against the Detroit United Railway
for better service and concessions TO
which the city appears to be entitled
under existing ordinances, Assistant
! Corporation Counsel Weadoch, Friday
morning, filed in the circuit court a
petition for a mandamus to compel
the company to give transfers to five
cent lines from the three-cent lines on
the payment of both eight-for-a-quar-
ter and six-for-a-quarte tickets.
The petition is based on Sec. 10 OF
the Detroit Railway ordinance of 1894,
which provides that a passenger on
the presentation of ticket, is en-
titled to transfer good for a con
tinuous ride over any other line or
route Of said grantee, as provided for
passengers paying the full fare of five
cents" The ID. U. r. is the successor
of the Detroit Railway Co. and the
court is asked to construe that the
section alluded to now applies to the
whole system.
At present the company issues
transfers from three-cent to flve-cent
lines only on the payment of FIVE
cent cash fare, but transfers are given
from one three-cent line to another
on tickets. If the city wins this sui;
il will be gaining an important point
Judge Hosmer has ordered the com
pany to show cause a week from Sat
urday why the mandamus should not
be issued.
This is the second petition for a
mandamus the corporation counsels
office has filed this week. The first

Aid. Sherman Littlefield, chairman
Of the judiciary committee of the
common council, has sent letter TO
President Hutchins, of the d. Il. r.,
apprising him of the fact that the
committee has under consideration an
ordinance fixing the charge for the
operation of freight cars within the
city at SO per car.
Should you consider this charge

mittee will be very glad to have you
appear before II at its next meeting,

dence showing the tonnage, mileage,
receipts and profits of the business
within the city limits for the year
1911 Not hearing from you, the com.
mittee will conclude that the tenta-
tive charge above mentioned is, in
your opinion, just one and satisfac-
tory to your company"
Corporation Counsel Lawson has
practically completed his draft of the
freight ordinance and will submit II
TO the judiciary committee next Mon
day morning. He will not be able to
start work on the service ordinance
until next week, and this is likely 10
prove hard task
