DESCRIBES HOW
CRUISER SANK
British Sailor Tells tE.ow British
Submarine E 8 Sank the
Hela.

London, Sept. IL The Harwich
correspondent of the Daily Tele-
rrarh sends this story of how the
German cruiser Hela was destroyed,
as told by one of the crew of SUB
marine E-9:
In the early hours of Sunday
morning lwo or three British sub
marines were stalking the Hela
about six miles OF the German
coast. The wind was frcshening
and the sea was beginning to get
ruugher. The E-9 came to the sur
face at $3.50 O'Clock and sighted the
enemy, which was seen to be with
in range
with all possible speed the E-9
dtved and at suitable depth launch
ed two torpedoes at intervals of Is
seconds. Whether both struck It
not definitely known, but one Of
them certainly was effective, as the
cyplosion followed.
"The E-9 remained below about
. quarter Of an hour and then came
to the surface briefly for a survey,
which showed the Hela listing bad
~. There were other German ships
in the vicinity but none were active
fighting units.
"rhe submarine prudently dived
soain at once. After an interval
NJ sonathing over a quarter of an
hour, 1t came to the surface again,
but the Hela had disappeared.
"The submarine got away safely,
hut was unable to make a report of
her achievement to the admiralty
until today. when she first got with
IN her wireless range. The suhma-
rine crew said their boat was never
seen by the enemy either before or
after the blow was struck"

man Both Willing to
Testify

New York. Jan. IA grand jury
investigation was begun today into
the story told yesterday by Former
GOV. Sulzer that Charles F. Murphy
sent a messenger to him during the
trial OF the impeachment charges
against him as governor and offered
to cali off the trial If Sulzer would
quit his graft investigation into state
departments. N
Sulzer today repeated before the
grand jury the whole story OF his
dealings with hhe Tammany chief
and ii was made known by District
Attorney Whitman that this part of
it and that relating TO the alleged AZ
tempt of James r. Gaiiney. Murphy 5
business and political associate, TO
exact political contribution OF sl0O,
600 from James {. Stewart. state
highway contractor, would be made
the subject OF a two fold inquiry.
Mr.. Whitman said that Murphy
would be called as a witness in the
john Doe inquiry by means of which
the district attorney has frequently
adduced evidence for presentation to
the jury.
Murphy today denounced Suffers
story as false and said that he was
willing to testify and would waive i'm
muniiy
The district attorney also said that
United States Senator OGormap,
who Sulzer testified, told him that
Ganney was Murphys chief bag
man" and had held Stewa t up

while the trial of his impeachment
was in progress Murphy had sent
word again and again that II I'd
quit he'd quit and that Senators
Flawley. Wagner. Transporter and
Sanner would quit The messenger
he said was John II. Delaney.
Sulze' is said to have explained be-
fore the grand jury today that this
alleged bargain meant that the four
senators would vote against his i'm
parchment and that these four mega
tive votes would be enough to pre-
vent the two-thirds majority OF the
Senate required for verdict against
him.
The deposed governor was before
the jury 70 nearly two hours and

ments.

Hawks to Be Managed by Company


An arrangement which has been in
process for some time was complet-
ed Thursday afternoon when the real
estate of the late William e. Hawks
passed into possession of a company
to be known as the Estate of William
Il. Hawks Incorporated
The formation of this corporation
carries out the main idea of will of
the late William +. Hawks who died

signed
The details of the organization
were completed Thursday at the Of
flee OF Collins M. Graves and the cor
poration begins business with the
following officers: President, Geo ,ge
NJ. Hawks; vice-president and clerk,
Mrs. Sarah Hawks Huling; treasur-
er, Clement II. Cone.

liam II. Hawks, who was one Of the
largest individual owners of property

GOVERNOR SPOKE
BEFORE LARGE
AUDIENCE
Talked on State Issues at Pub.
lie Meeting
FAVORED DIRECT PRIMARY
Superintendent M. S. Stone Gave
Fine Address on Vermont's
Educational Interests

Governor Fletcher and Superin.
tendent of Education Stone were
greeted by a large audience at the
high school assembly room Thursday
evening. Over 300 were present to
listen to the interesting and instruct
i've addresses of the two speakers.
Governor Fletcher spoke chiefly on
state issues. He urged the votes to
support the direct primary at the
coming referendum in March for the
reason that ii gives the voters them
selves control of their nominations
instead of delegating that duty to
somebody who may not fairly repre-
sent them. He said that other states
had found the primary an effectN
aid in doing away with control of
politics by the few and that Yer.
mont should take advantage of the
method
He urged change in judicial pro-
cedure in the hope of securing a
shorter cut to Justice. He thought
that court expense might be reduced
not ouly to the state but to the liti-
giants as well by cutting out some
court technicalities and hair split
tins.
Governor Fletcher also paid some
attention to the public service cor
porations and laws relating to them.
He declared that the state wants to
treat them fairly, but insists that
when they come asking favors they
must come with clean hands.
Superintendent Stone gave a splen-
did address on the educational work
and needs of the state. He said that
the high schools have long enough
turned their faces toward the col
leges and il is now time that they
turned toward the people in order
not necessarily to prepare pupils for
college but to prepare pupils to do
the best in life with the abilities at
their command.
He urged that close attention be
paid by the people of the state to the
report of the Carnegie foundation
and that the people prepare them
selves to take advantage of the solu-
tion it offers.
Following the addresses an infor-
| NAL reception was given to the gov
ernor and Mr.. Stone.

THE MEMS SUPPER
Successful and Enjoyable Gathering
at ST. Peters Parish House

1t is to be doubted If any member
Aof St Peters parish expected that
1.-THE mems supper at the parish house
Thursday evening would turn out to
j be the exceptionally successful event
into which it developed In the first
place those who had the entertain
nent in charge realized the Difficult
ties, usually experienced in collecting
q gathering of men for an occasion
of this kind and the attendance OF so
men, all of them either members of
the parish or identified with it, was
pleasing disappointment.
The supper was something OF a de-
parture from the usual order OF
things. Those responsible for the
scheme of it were apparently aware
of, the fact that the end of the day
leaves most men in receptive mood
for substantials, gastronomically II
not otherwise. Oyster stew hash,
salad, rolls cheese and coffee with n
few incidentals of lighter weight
made a combination, which followed
by the compliments of the rector in
the form of cigars, rounded out sat
istying menu.
The tables, arranged in the form
of cross. were prettily decorated
with candles and white narcissus.
The general lighting effect was sub
dued and the absence of color in the
arrangement was especially pleasing.
The rector, Rev. Thornton +. Tur-
ner, opened the postprandial exer-
cses with a forceful reference to
some things which he believed were
needed in the parish. A committee of
sociablity. parish paper and broad
er comprehension of the work of the
church in the foreign missionary
field and the necessity for it. Follow
ing the rector Il number OF the par
shloners spoke briefly. Enjoyable
music for the supper was provided
for the supper by an orchestra of
five.
