LEGAL FIGHT,
PLANNED BY
PRISONER
Police Said To Be Ready to Of
fer Light Punishment for the
Truth of Robbery.

Thoroughly convinced that James
Nolan, held in the Tower as a sus-
pect in connection with the holdup Of
the Nashville, Chattanooga and ST.
Louis train near Winnings Station Fri
day night, had hand in the robbery,
either as principal or confederate,
Chief Mathieson, of the county police,
Monday prepared a third degree in
vestigation, which he thinks may
break through the crust of silence
the prisoner has maintained since
Saturday, when he denied to the au-
thorities and newspaper men and
knowledge Of the crime.
Although fairly loquacious at firsr
and apparently in no fear OF the out
come Of the various Investigations
'entering about him, since Saturday
night the prisoner sits silently in his
cell and refuses to further discuss the
case His first air of bravado and
unconcern Is gone and now he seems
10 have come into a full realization
Of the seriousness of his plight.
Retains an Attorney.
Rumor has it that Nolan will be
promised light punishment If he will
give the authorities information they
seek concerning the men who figured
in the spectacular holdup.
When the susrect found that he
was 10 be held Indefinitely In connec-
ton with the case, he set about Sc
curing legal aid, and retained Attor-
ney D X. Johnston to arrange for his
defense.
An unconfirmed report comes from
the jail that the prisoner has given
the attorney his real name and ad-
dress.
Three passengers on the train he'd
an called at the Tower Sunday to look
Nolan over. All were of the opinion
That the mans general outlines are
IDENTICAL with those Of the disciple
OF Jesse James who pulled off the SEN
Sational "stick-up," although would
not say positively IS to tn man 3
Identity
Conductor Adams, of the Western
and Atlantic road, identified Nolan as
man he had seen Monday night at
winnings. This is regarded as highly
important, as it is the first intimation
mat has come that Nolan was in the
helghborhood before the night of the
robbery.
Believe Gang Did the Job.
Inc city and county authorities in
vestigsting the case are convinced
no" that more than one man was
"Hphcated in the robbery. The theory
v. some Of the sleuths now is that
-'o'an acted as an Outside" man and
missed connection with his pal after

News from Des Moines that Nolan
"'lsht be wanted there and in other
paEtS or the country for various

WARSH|P WATCHES OUTGOING LINERS
 -t Battleship Maine Prevents Sailing of Ships With Contraband
 of War.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2O.-One of the most powerful dreadnoughts in the navy, the battleship Maine. is sta tioned at the naval anchorage off Tompkinsville, s. l., to back up strict enforcement of the neutrality regula- tions in regard to vessels entering or leaving New York harbor. All out ward bound vessels have been ordered to stop at Tompkinsville, where their cargo will receive final inspection before they are allowed to go to sea.
 Meanwhile the masters of ships must file full manifests of all cargo on board, in place of the old skeleton manifests, and must be prepared to answer any questions from the Col lector relative to cargo or destination.
 The regulations to prevent the de- parture of any ship with contra band cargo are the most stringent ever put in effect in New York. Among the precautions adopted are the doubling of the regular force of customs officers on the piers and ships, and the formation of flying squad of inspectors to cooperate with the federal authorities.

UNITED STATES
 ID BUY SHIPS Bill Introduced In Congress Providing for Purchase of Foreign Ves-
 sells By Government.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-Follow- ing a long conference between the president and his cabinet, which the leaders of the administration in con gross also attended, it was decided that the administration would favor a bill providing for the purchase of the foreign ships now in American ports which are to be used by the government to transport the grain and foodstuffs needed by Europe and which must be sold at once or flnan- cial ruin is certain for many in the United States.
 A bill was introduced yesterday pro viding $25,O00,00O for the purpose of purchasing the ships.
 It is believed by many that this course was taken by the administra- tion following protest by England, France and Russia against the sale of the German ships to Americans, and it is said that the foreign gov ernment will have no objection If the government buys and operates them, as they will then be sure that no subterfuge has been practiced by the German owners of ships.
 Those opposed to the government entering the shipping business state that if England, France, Russia, Bel gium and the other powers at war need the food supplies badly, as it Is made out they do, that England will find a way to get the supplies.
 Many fear that the shipping ques- tion is certain to draw the United States into the European war, as none of the nations care to bother about diplomacy and follow a refusal to heed advice by an ultimatum.

 Italy Near Revolution.
