LINER, BY ZG-ZAC DASH,
ESCAPES 3 SUBMARINES
Cunarder Cameronia Chased by Ger
man Submersibles on Way from
Liverpool to Glasgow.

London, March 1.-THE Cunsrd
liner Cameronia. which left New
York on March 6. has succeeded in
reaching Glasgow after running the
gauntlet of"three German submarines
in the Irish Sea. The Cameronia put
in first at Liverpool. She left the
Mersey yesterday morning. carrying
a crew of over 200 and a number of
passengers bound for Glasgow.
In the afternoon the first subma-
riI was sighted off the Null of Gal
lonay. The submarine. which was
only $50 yards away when her peri
scope was seen, tried to get nearer
the liner. but was outdistanced. as
the Cameronia was doing eighteen
knots.
Fifteen minute- later two other sub
marines appeared simultaneously. one
on the port and one on the starboard
side. Each was distant about 800
yards.
The captain of the Cameronia steered
zig-zag course in order to avoid
torpedoes. He proceeded in this man.
ner up the Firth of Clyde, and in half
an hour had shaken both the hostile
vessels off.
Liverpool. March 1.-THE steamers
Megantic and Bohemian sailed for the
United States today being conveyed
out of port by warships. The former
is bound for New York. the latter for

PLUGGED NICKEL MAY
MEAN HIS DOWNFALL
Found in Church Collection After Al
legged Burglar Who Stole 1t Was
Seen at Services.

Charlotte. N. c., March 17.-An odd
circumstance developed yesterday In
the police investigation OF the charge
of burglary against Jesse Lee. F. II.
Pickler, one OF the occupants of the
room that was entered, said he lost
so cents in change, including a nickel
made in 1910 with a hole through It..
When Lee was arrested he had just
attended the morning service at the
First Baptist Church and the officers
who removed his money from his per-
son say that he told them ne put a
nickel or two in the collection basket.
The police yesterday obtained from
J. E. Murphy. treasurer of the church.
a nickel which was contributed at the
morning service and 1t was made in
1910 and has a hole entirely through
it. being therefore valueless, but the
police are holding 1t for its possible
evidential value.
The fact that Mr.. Pickler's money
was in his trousers pocket in his room
on the same chair with the clothing of
Richardson. who lost about $a2 makes
this an interesting circumstance in
with the burglary charge.
which involves a capital onense. Rich
ardson claims to have lost marked
$40 bill and told the officers so before
a marked SO bill was recovered from
Lee. If the charge of burglary should
be sustained against Lee. 1t would ap-
pear, indeed. as II the fates were against
him. since if the charges are true, he
stole a marked SO bill and nickel
with a hole in IL on one and the same
trip, two occurrences neither Of which
might be expected to happen once in
/ 900 times.

RICHMOND TO GET
LAND WORTH $4,000
Owe FIfty-two Acres Already Dedi-
Gated to City for a New
Road.

Richmond. Va, March 17.-with
every obstacle removed save that pre-
sented by the Forbes and the Belt Line
Railway properties. the project for the
extension of Monument avenue from
its present termination to the Three
Chopt road. making it one OF the most
imposing avenues in the country. seems
about to be realized.
All of the land necessary to the ex-
tension. comprising over fifty-two
acres. with the exception of the Forbes
property and that of the Belt Line
Railway and a 14o-foot strip. the own
ers of which are negroes. who are
said TO be willing to grant it to the
city. will be dedicated to the city by
the owners il the city acts promptly.
1t is estimated that the land granted
to the city already is worth about
$500 per acre. which means that the
city will get land representing about
SIS. 900 absolutely free. 1t is reported
that w. S. Forbes. who owns a part
Of the property not yet obtained in the
line Of extension, is holding q 140-foot
strip through his property for $4,000.
The city could pay him this amount
and still be large gamer by the
proposition now pending.

lead to representations at Madrid on the
