to Secure More Information.

WASHINGTON, Nov. l6.- -Ambassa-
dor Peuheld at Vienna was instructed
to ask the Austrian Foreign Onice for
a detailed statement of circumstances
surrounding the torpedoine OF the An
coma. The action is the result of the
presentation of a communication from
Vienna to Lansing by the Austrian
embassy This is the same as the
statement sent through the Overseas
News Agency. It says the submarine
shelled the Ancona when escape was
attempted. when the Ancoua was stop
ped forty-fye minutes to allow passen-
gers and crew TO board small boats.
The torpedo was fred only when an
other ship answered the Ancona's
wireless call
Penteld was instructed to informal
ly discuss the case orally with the
Austrian officials and obtain details
supplementary to those received. The
United States wants TO know whether
the submarine fired a warning shot
and whether the firing ceased when
the Ancona was stopped. The amount
of time given the passengers and
crew to get into liieboats the activi-
ties of the submarine while the Anco-
ma was unloading passengers and
whether any passengers were aboard
when the torpedo was fired. The fact
that Auctria assumed responsibility is
believed to dispose of reports that the
submarine flew the German flag Off

tion on this point 70 is considered

Have Been Successfully Tried
BY the Law Officers.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 16.-Rem-
edial legislation. designed to ov-
ercome existing difficulties in the
enforcement of neutrality laws.
will be recommended to Congress
during the coming session. The
cabinet has discussed the prob
lem. Later Attorney General
Gregory announced he would ask
for a change in the Sherman Act
for the purpose of removing the
uncertainty of fits application to
conspiracies such as are believed
responsible tor recent munitions
plant strikes and attempts to dis
able ships sailing from the United
States.
Prosecution for conspiracies of
this sort cannot be undertaken In
state courts under the Sherman
Act. II other governments are in
volved in the ofense against the
United States, they viii be prose
cuted only in the Federal courts.
Developments in recent months
convinced the officials that there
is a woeful lack of specific neu-
trality statutes. The alleged
crimes are not prosecuted because
the government felt unable TO Sc
cure ronvictions after making in
vestigations The only criminal
statutes successfully invoked have
been those aimed at the transpor-
tation of explosives i'm interstate
commerce and against the foreign
service enlistments in the United
! States.
It is possible an effort will be
made to codify the laws Of the
United States relating 10 neutrali-

also be made to enlarge the pow

Both closely examined the ruins short

A steel beam, similar to the one TAX

test similar to the one supposed TO
have been undergone in the explosion
and produced as evidence. Garbutt
stated the breaks made in the test
were almost exactly the same as in
the one taken from the ruins.
Both sides claimed TO haze won a

the amount believed to have been used
in the Times Building, was placed on
