ANC0NA TRIED TO ESCAPE.
According to Austrian Admiralty in a
Statement Through Berlin.

| Berlin, Nov Is, by wireless 10 Sayville,
| N. Y.The Austro- Hungarian admiralty
yesterday officially announced that the
Italian steamship Aneona attempted to
escape at full speed after a warning shot
had been fired across her bow, and that
ohelled several times by an Austrian
submarine, says the Overseas News
agency.
The submarine commander il is fur
ther asserted, allowed the Ancona's pas
sengers and crew forty-fve minutes to
abandon the ship after the vessel was
torpedoed, sinking three quarters Of an
hour later. The report that the subna.
rine fired on the lifeboats is denied.
The statement issued by the Austro-
Hungarian admiralty after declaring
that the foreign press had spread false
rumors regarding the Ancona incident
says the sinking took place as follows:
"The submarine fired one shot in front
of the Aneona's prov whereupon the
steamer fed at full speed, in accordance
with orders issued by the Italian au-
thorities which instructs ship command
ers TO flee or to sink the submarine /
The submarine pursued the steamer and
continued firing but the vessel stopped |
only after being hit several times.
The submarine allowed AS minutes for |
the passengers and crew to abandon the |
steamer, on board OF which panic reigned |
but only small number OF boats were
lowered and these were occupied prin-
ripally by the crew.
A great number OF boats probably |
sufficient to save all the passengers, re-
NAMED unoccupied.
After a period of fifty minutes, and,
rs another steamer was approached, the
submarine submerged and torpedoed the
Ancona which sank after an additional
70 minutes
"lf any of the passengers lost their
ives this was due TO the fault of the
rev because the steamer tried to escape
Ifter il had received orders to stop,
md then the crew only saved themselves
md not the passengers.
Reports published in the foreign press
hat the submarine fired on the An
ona's lifeboats are mendacious inyen.
ions. When the steamer stopped the
ubmarine ceased firing"

George E. Megrath Given
Maximum in Montpel-
ier City Court
YEARS JAIL TERN
is IN ABEYANCE
1t Is One Of the Heaviest
Sentences Imposed in
a Like Case

Pleading guilty to the charge of keep
ing intoxicating liquor with intent to
sell, George Il. Alegrath, a Montpelier
druggist, was fined $1,000 with costs and
sentenced to serve IL months by Judge
Harvey in Montpelier city court to-day.
However, the court decided to place the
respondent on probation as to the SEN
tence, the fine and costs having been
paid. This is one of the heaviest single
sentences ever imposed in a liquor prose-
cution.
Megrath's store was raided some days
ago and the officers found about 200 bot
ties of whiskey in barrels. The stuff was
taken and Megrath was placed under ar
rest. At the hearing the state was rep
resented by States Attorney Fred +.
Gleason and the respondent by William
A. Lord. The states attorney asked that
the maximum sentence be imposed, and
on that recommendation Judge Harvey
proceeded to assess the fine of ii 200 and
to impose the years sentence.
Later in the day the respondent pro-
duced the amount of his fine, together
with the costs, which amounted to S22. 20,
and was then turned over to the proba-
tion officer, Charles A. Smith. The con-
ditions of the probation are as usual
with the addition that Megrath must re-
port to the probation officer twice each
week and he must, together with the pro-
,ation officer, file sworn statement at
to the court as to the quantity
II liquor in the store and that he must |
not have more than enough needed to
AIRY on the druggist business.
