A state department omcial an
nouncement this afternoon stated that
while the sinking OF the Allan liner
Hesperian was almost unquestonably
the work of a German submarine,
technical proof Is lacking. In view of
the assurance of the German govern
ment that the forms of the subma-
rine warfare objected to by the Unit
ed States have been dropped, the in
cident Is believed closed.
Naval experts today returned the
piece Of metal alleged to have been
found on the Hesperian's deck to the
state department with the opinion
that It was part OF a torpedo. Sec.
retary Lansing said this report prob
ably would be forwarded to Berlin for
the Information Of the German gov
ernment. It was Indicated no note
would accompany it to result in fur
ther negotiation. The technical line
of the chain Of evidence regarding
the supposed torpedoillg. is the fact
that no sworn statement has been
submitted by anyone claiming to have
actually found the fragment. This is
regarded as essential to any further
consideration Of the case. Navy Off
ctals tonight expressed belief that
the German submarine which sank
the Hesperian. may have been cap
tured or sunk by British warships.
This gould explain Germany's formal
staten1at that her submarine COM
manders have all disclaimed attack

 Whenever a witness Is on the stand" said Rush today, T watch his feet. They are an index of the mind and come pretty close to telling whether a person is telling a false hood. The first evidence of nervous ness appears in the feet. A witness who is lying will shift his feet and become jerky and uneasy. Such evidences are invariably an indica- tion that the witness either Is not sure of his testimony or is not telling the ruth.

NATIVES
 MAKE BIG HAUL

The report has reached Valdez from Kodiak that the natives to the westward had succeeded in taking the sailing schooner Harold BleA- um from the rocks at Uyak and had brought the schooner to Kodiak, The natives intend to libel the boat and hold it for salvage.
 The Herold Blekum Is a small schooner with a displacement of Iy2 tons gross and 1S5 tons net, She was built at Eureka. California, In 1882 and is owned in Seattle. The schooner was wrecked several months ago and abandoned by her crew. Later the natives decided they could save the boat and they went to work to salve her, sue ceeding on Dec. 20th in floating the ship and later taking he@ to Kodiak.
 The crew of the steamer Harold Blekum reached Kodiak Friday ac- curding to a wireless received late yesterday afternoon by Marshal Brenneman. The boat was wrecked while enroute to Unga aud was lc5s near Karluk and not ac Yuak, as at first reported.-Yaldcz Miner.
