TO PROBE
LOSS OF
BULWARK
Theories that Ship Was Victim Of
Accident are Discredited
Think in Was Work Of
Submariner Spy
By United Press.

By United Press.
Sheerness, Nov. 27.-A rigid, secret
inquiry was started today by govern
ment officials into the destruction of
the battleship Bulwark yesterday
when 800 men perished The ship was
completely destroyed by terrific ex-
plosion.
Various theories as to the cause OF
the disaster were advanced in the
hours after the explosion and it was
believed that the explosion was caus-
ed from the ships own magazine.
However, the theories advancing the
idea of an accident or spontaneous
combustion are discredted and it is
thought that the work was either that
Of a German submarine or a spy
aboard the vessel. England is in a
state of the widest excitement about
spies who, it is feared, turk in every
department.
Houses seven and eight miles away
were shaken by the explosion and
even before men on ships anchored
nearby could reach their own decks,
the Bulwark disappeared. The neigh
borhood was strewn with an enormous
amount OF wreckage, while pieces Of
the ship were thrown six or seven
miles onto the Essex shore,
Considering the size of her navy,
Great Britain has been singularly free
from disasters of this character. New
ertheless, when the French warship
Jena was destroyed by an internal ex.
, plosion in 1907 all cordite ammunition
was taken from all the British ships
and carefully examined Refrigerators
were installed in the ships to keep the
powder cool.
| The Rulwark, which was one of tbs
older battleships, cost $5,000,000
1t is believed here that the explos
ion of the Bulwark was caused by the
fall and bursting of a twelye-incf
| lydite shell in her magazine.

'POSSum Dinner at
Jail is Huge Success

The most popular county officials
around county premises today are
Sheriff Lewis and Jailer Berry Will
hanson, also to mention the white
capped chef in the Jail kitchenette.
They served without warning pos
sum dinner yesterday at 2:3O p. m. to
the motley crowd of guests incarcerat-
ed in the county jail.
The 'possums had been milk fed for
over two weeks at Verden This pro-
cess of fattening requires absolute
solitude and quiet-that's why Verden
was selected. The sheriff and jailer
each supplied three 'possums. Forty
seven meals were served and on top OF
it all the sheriff gave his guests q
rabbit breakfast this morning. The
way of the transgressor may be hard
but ofttimes he hits a soft spot, o.
which this Thanksgiving dinner was
one.

SESSION OF
U. 5. COURT
Is WANING

The U S. district court is in session
today and is trying the jury case Of
the Fred. Wolf Co. VS.. Weleetka Light
and Power Co. This case is being
stubbornly contested by both sides. 1t
was up last Wednesday and bids fair
to hold the attention of court and jury
throughout this day
The matter in controversy involves
the payment of considerable money for
services rendered by the +. W. Wolf
co. from the Weleetka Light and Pow
or Co. 1t is contended that services
were not in accordance with terms of
contract.
The federal grand jury in session in
the county Jail today is the busiest
spot in the city. The waiting rooms,
corridors, lawn and sidewalks Of the
Jail premises are crowded with wit
nesses, deputy marshals and defend
ants in attendance. There is an air
Of anxious expectancy permeating the
atmosphere that indicates important
proceedings are looked for 1t is
rumored that the next report OF the
grand jury will return some true bills
OF a startling character.
Tomorrow will very likely see the
close Of this session Of the Y. $. dis
trict court. Celebrity and continuous
work have been the slogans Of this
term. Witnesses before the grant
Jury and open court that have beer
discharged are busy calling for thei
nay checks and quietly leaving tow
for their homes.

NO DEARTH
OF LEADERS
IN MEXICO
Carfanza, Gutierrez, Villa and
Zapata Form Quartet Of Leaders
to Situation -Carranza in Vera
Cruz Claims Whiphand
BY United Press.

Washington, Nov .-Silliman ca
bled today that he had arrived in Vera
Cruz safely. He said that the city was
quiet and orderly Meanwhile, there
are four heads to the Mexican situa-
tion. Carranza is in Vera Cruz, Cutter
rez in Quertetaro, Villa in Tula. and
zapata in Mexico City. 1t is difficult
to tell which of these holds the whip
hand.
1t is said here that Villa and Car
rama are again entering into negotia-
tions. The Villista column has again
gone north from San Luis Potosi to at
tack Monterey.
Carranza has formally established
his government in Vera Cruz. He has
$500 troops in all the branches of his
service, in addition to which are two
gunboats and plenty of ammunition.
Apparently he will be a factor for the
other leaders to serious consider. He
claims to hold a majority of the
tiumps.
Beginning east of Gen. Villas terri
tory, the Carranza supporters claim
the states of Neuvo Leon and Tamaul-
ipas and down the gulf coast of the
state of Vera Cruz. Gen Carranza' s
power, continued Senor Fabela, ex
tends down the coast, across the 18th
mus OF Tehauntepec and northward
from the isthmus through the state oil
Jalisco and Michoacan. Gen. Dieguez
a Carranza general in Jalisco, has re
! ported that he successfully withstood
a heavy attack by Gen. Felipe An
gcles. In the state Of Puebla and
| Tlaxoala, where zapata and the form
er federal general, Aguilar, have beer
trying to gain the ascendency, the Car
rama troops have gained unquestionec
| control, according to Senor Fabelo
Between this point and Mexico City
! continued the foreign minister, th'
only serious opposition-and that i
not regarded by Carranzas followers
! as very serious lis that of Higinia AZ
uilar. a former federal officer, wht
controls the districts south OF Apriza
| co between the main line of the gul
railway and the city OF Puebla.
