iOVER TWO HUNDRED
 DIED EACH DAY
Rations Virtually Gave Out on March IS, When It. Was Decided to Make the Final and Futile Attempt to Break Lines
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIspArcHl

l BERLIN, March 21.-A striking story Of the last days of the Austrian stronghold of Przemysl has been sent i oct by the correspondent of Berlin 1 Lokal Anzeiger at Austrian press ! headquarters who obtained the infor- nation from an Austrian aviator lieu 1 tenant named Sanger. The lieu | tenant and pilot, Capt. Lehman were l the only aViators who left Przemysl on the last day of it's existence who 1 have reported to the Austrian author | ities.
 According to Stanger, as early as | December the rations of the defend CTS grew scarce and allotments were cut down. They virtually gave out on 1 March IS. Bread had long since been unknown, horse meat and rice lasted the longest. The condition of the defenders in every way was precar ious Over two hundred died each day during the last few days of the | siege, there were no fewer than 2SOo0 | in the hospitals It was consequent 1 ly decided on March IS to make a 1 final attempt to break through the Russian lines.
 1 Honveda and some older troops sal lied out on this last expedition sing | ing. but the flesh was weaker than | the spirit. It took seven hours to march four miles and many were exhausted and left along the way. The expedition fought bravely but were forced to retreat. Ii had to return q distance of ten miles before they reached the protection of the forts. Nevertheless Honvedas came back i singing as he had gone out.
 The Russians who saw from the condition of the captives made by them how desperate was the plight of the garrison, began their lombard
 ment on the night Of March 20 only 1 a few hours after the exhausted mem
 bers of the expeditionary force re turned to the forts The commandant
 declared that the forts must be held
 March 22 and preparations were made to destroy the Qualifications and the
 artillery. The infantry regiments
 were withdrawn from their positions
 and the civilian population of Prze- mysl was assembled outside the zone of danger Then the work of destruc- tion began.
 The method was this: A motor lhowitzer was loaded as usual and then the gun was filled with sand It
 was then fired. with the result that the explosive force, thrown back into the gun. wrecked it and its immediate
 surroundings.
 Five Russian officers and 2000 sol
 diers, prisoners of war were in the
 fortress when it fell.
 An Austrian officer was posted on
 the ruins of each fort and provided with white flag. He was instructed to make this announcement to the
 Russians:
 His excellency cannot hold the fort
 any longer on account of the lack of
 provisions and he leaves everything
 to the chivalry of the enemy"

PRINCE E|TEL
 LIKELY ID BE
 HELD |NTERNED
German Commerce Destroy CT Must Soon Leave New port News or Remain There Until Close of War. Believe Officials
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcHl

WASHINGTON, March 27-The Ger man commerce destroyer Prinz Eitel Friedrich will be interned at Newport News by order of the Washington gov ernment within a few days, according 10 the opinion expressed here tonight in official quarters. No one in author ity however, would discuss the ships status There is little doubt that a time limit for making repairs to the Eitel has been set by the government and that the limit is close to expiration. When the period granted expires. Con- mander Thierichens of the Eitel will be formally notified he must either put to sea within twenty-four hours or his ship and crew will be interned during the war.
 It appeared to he the general opinion that Commander Thierichens would not ask that his ship be interned, but would wait out his time limit and con- pei the government to act. Officials recalled the statement of Captain Kiehne of the American ship Vim. F. Frye. sunk by the Eitel who declared when he reached the shore from the cruiser she would not put to sea again during the war. He refused to say on what he based his prediction: but of ficials believed his long association with the Eitel's officers after the Frye was sunk qualified him to speak with some authority.
 It was suggested to officials today that the presence of numerous British horse transports at Newport News might serve to delay the departure of the Eitel. should her commander de- termine to attempt a dash to sea past the patrol of Warships said to be main tained by the allies off the harbor and beyond the three mile limit. Under the neutrality laws no belligerent warship such as the Eitel may leave the port

BUY TT NOW MOVE POPULAR
Many Conclude to Purchase Cars as Result of Splen- did Opportunity Offered by the Dealers for Com- pairing Cars

The fourth annual exhibit of automo- piles is history-and it occupies @ pret- ty roseate position on the pages. too. While falling below the show of last year in attendance, the display that was closed in the First Battalion Armory last night exceeded all past ones in the amount of interest it created and the number Of sales it stimulated.
 The Buy It Now idea, originally proposed by the Republican as a gen. eral slogan, seemed to take on inn mensely with the motor car buying public. For the record of sales that are to be directly attributed to the sale, will ffount up very favorably.
 Manager Gustin secured statements from number of the dealers last night as the show was breaking up. In all cases, the comment was optimistic. Not all the agents disposed of their cars.
 but some of the dealers sold out their entire stock, including demonstrators. And some took orders way ahead, to
 be filled when freight can be gotten into the valley.
 In the motorcycle division. another record was made. Doc" Lane of the Harley agency made four cash sales. The Indian and Excelsior people each disposed of a number of machines. but | were not speaking for ublication. Tho
 motorcycle shop had to take it's dem- onstrator off the floor yesterday in 1 order to satisfy clamoring customer. In the industrial and architectural section, great interest was aroused by | the classy displays of architects draw ings and by the building and plumbing
 material. This was the first event of that sOrt-when houses and the things
 that are built into them were to be seen in show of this sort That the architectural feature of automobile and l other shows will be continued is a cer- tainty.
 Accessory men report increases In their several trades, while tire interest was crystallized and stimulated. Us- 1 ually, Q man buys tires because he | needs them, and he buys the ones that are handiest Certainly, only the very | best of tires were displayed last week, l and in each make a new interest was aroused.
 l A fair crowd attended the last night | of the show. But other attractions | drew them away and the real exhibit
 was over by ten-thirty at which hour
 number of machines were driven out of the armory hall.

Mrs. Abbot on teturns Seems to Have Defeated A. A. Bctts for High School Board by Majority of Eight

On returns from all but one of the districts included in the Phoenix high school district Mrs. F. H. Az bolt appeared to have been elected to membership of the board for the city by q plurality of five over A.. A. Betts. The only district not heard from was Riverside where it was expected there would be very light vote. The totals exclusive of Ki:er- side gave Mrs Abbott 351 and Mr. Betts 3i6 The out of town re- turns were received by telephone and. therefore, may be subject to alteration. Lin B. Orme was elected to the board from the districts ont side of Phoenix
 Dr. L. D. Dameron was re-elect- ed to the grade school board by a vote of 112 to vote of 220 for Mrs. T. M Elder. out of q total vote of 935, by far the heaviest ever east at a Phoenix school election. Hi:her- to in high school elections. the re- suit in Phoenix has determined the result in the district but this time the country districts had to be reck- oned with. The vote in Phoenix was as follows: Mr. Betts 306, Mrs. Ah- bott 253, E. w. Getsinger 190, F. N. Moorehead 13. The vote of Nlr. Orme was so large that nobody could exactly remember the figures but they were something in excess of 800
 This gives Betts lead of fifty three over Mrs. Abbott and that was increased by the returns from os- born to fifty eight. A vote of 24 in the Creighton district for Mrs Abbott to none for Mr. Betts ma terially reduced this lead which was further whittled down by the re- turns from Madison giving Mrs. tb- bolt 39. Mir.

Hope That Ill-fated Subma- rinc Would Be Raised Be- fore Nightfall is Blasted When Series of Mishaps Occur
FIFTY FEET UP
 THEN DOWN AGAIN
Some Naval Officers Still Profess to Believe There May Be Life Aboard, But General Opinion is That All Have Perished

HONOLULU, March 21.-Hope that the il-fated submarine F-4 would be raised before nightfalI failed this af- ternoon when the chain loop attached to the disabled craft slipped. and the F-4 settled back again on the bed of the ocean. The most optimistic of the naval officials here conceded to- night there was no reasonable chance Of any of the submarines crew of tWenty-One being taken out alive
 The powerful dredger California, from the Pearl Harbor naval station. had lifted the submarine fifty feet before the mishap occurred which plunged the vessel back into the lips of the submarine crater in which it had lodged. Immediately. however. fresh efforts were begun to secure another grip on the hulk. Air bubbles raising to the surface were taken to indicate that at least one of the three compartments had burst. It is believed the bodies of most of the crew will he found in the forward compartment, the smallest and strong est of the three.
 Relatives of the crew residing here refuse to abandon hope and plead with naval officers to hasten the work of raising the craft
 Owing to the great depth-50 fath- oms-of the submarines resting place. and the peculiar formation of the oceans floor at this point outside of Honolulu's harbor. the task of pass ing chains under the bessel is ex- tremely difficult
 Divers cannot work effectively at that depth and casting about for q hold is necessarily more or less hap | hazard. The Alert, mother ship of the submarine flOtilla here is lending all possible aid to the dredger As soon as the F-4 is elevated to q point where the divers can operate, lifting chains will be made fast to hulks, bows and stern. then it will be comparatively easy for dredger to bring the submarine to the sur face. Rescuers worked with feverish haste during the day cheered with the confident predictions by the officers that life would be found in some of the crew if the boat could he raised to tine surface before night
 There were numerous heartbreaking , mishaps. One cable. grooming with the dead weight of the hulk suddenly 1 sagged, releasing it's hold on the F-4. l Later just after a chain had been successfully passed under the vessel i it slipped off the smooth plates. The l diSappOintrnent of the workers reach
 ed a climax when the hulk. after it ! had been raised full fifty feet. again shook off the chain and sank.

With Only One More Wit ness to Be Heard, Sen ator Sutherland Declares Investigation Has Result of Small Consequence
ROOSEVELT DOES
 NOT TESTIFY
His Destination to Appear, is Placed on Record -, Reasons Same as Those Expressed on Floor of the Senate
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH l

WASHINGTON. March 21-With only one more witness subpoenaed to testify before the senate ship bill lobby committee, Senator Sutherland. republican, declared the invostigat tion was almost concluded and that "ab solutely nothing of any consequence had come of it. The remaining wit ness is Sidney Morse, secretary of the Trans Atlantic Passenger conference, for whom subpoena was issued.
 Theodore Roosevelt's telegram to the committee declining to testify was placed on record. It is more than a thousand words long. The former president said his reasons for ha''ing opposed the ship bill were the same as expressed on the floor of the senate by such members as Lodge. Root, Borah, Burton, Shoot and other senators who contested the efforts of the administration forces bring the bill to a vote at the recent session of congress. Colonel Roosevelt repeated the charges that the president and Secretary McAdoo had pushed the bill to the utmost of their ability. their
 
 corporations owning or interested in interned German ships.
 Colonel Roosevelt asserted that every man who had looked into the matter a all knew perfectly well that we were literally purchasing a quar- rel with every ship that We purchased from any of the corporations owning the German interned ships
 The senator's resolution for the in vestigation proposed by Senator Bur ton. directed the committee to de- termine whether American firms or corporations had made loans or ad- vances to owners of ships tied up in United States ports or elsewhere to avoid wars consequences, or to obtain options on such ships or whether they having made such loans or obtained options, had any connection with the government. or whether there had been lobbying by the so-called ship ping trust or others to defeat the ship purchase bill.
