FIVE REPUBLICANS HELD
 FOR ELECTION FRAUDS
Plead Not Guilty When Ar raigned Before U. s.
 District Judge.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 25.~-- Charged in a federal indictment with conspiracy to corrupt the election of Nov. 8, 1914, in the Fifth Indiana congressional district, five republicans when arraigned before United States District Judge A. B. Anderson here today, pleaded not guilty.
 The five who pleaded not guilty are: Roy l.. Shattuck of Brazil, who op- posed Congressman Ralph w. Moss for reelection, and Warren Soules, Will liam s. Fears, William E. Myers and Morton H. Holmes, all of Terre Haute and candidates for offices in Vigo county.
 These men were named in a sep arate indictment from that on sulaief 116 democratic and progressive lead CTS of Terre Haute were arrested on Christmas day, 1914. The repub- licans are alleged to have entered into a conspiracy which, according to the indictment, included Mayor Dom M. Roberts of Terre Haute, democrat; John Nugent, former pro- gressive city chairman and night su- perintendent of police under Roberts; John Hines and Franke Hesse, all of whom were included in the first indictment to buy the election for themselves.
 It is set out in the indictment that $1, 900 was pa i'd to Hesse, who is said to have shared the money with the others, in order to secure the elec- tion of the republicans. The repub- l1cans, however, were defeated.
 Other charges in the indictment are similar to those placed against the democrats and progressives and include conspiracy to intimidate voters, to prevent qualified voters serving as election officials and to vote illegal voters, thereby attempt ing to corrupt an election at which a United States senator and member of congress were being chosen.
 Of the 116 democrats and progress sives arrested, S7 have entered pleas of guilty and the cases of the re- maining 29, who pleaded not guilty, have been set to begin here March

NO BARGAINING ON
 ENGLAND'S PART
Concerning Situation Which Has Grown Out of Germany'S Naval
 War Zone Decree.
Concerning

London. Feb. 25, 1:10 D. m.-"Ne e are obliged to say at once that there can be no bargaining on this subject" says the Westminster Gazette in re- ferring to the American notes to Great Britain and Germany concern ing the situation which has grown out of Germany's naval war zone de- cree. The editorial article continues:
 The pressure of our sea power Is a perfectly legitimate. operation of war. Germany had fuli warning from her own economists what must hap pen if she risked a prolonged war with a superior sea power. By mak- ing grain supplies public property, and still more by putting her popula- ton on rations she entities us to treat these supplies as contraband of war. On her own principle of limited consumption, the supplies of the civil population could not be increased in the manner suggested The results simply would be to leave the govern ment large supplies for military pur- poses.
 "Who can suppose that if the posi- tons were reversed and Germany were the superior sea power she would listen to such a proposition if made by us It may be general necessity to win the war by starving her popu- lation, but it cannot be incumbent on us to 1acllltate her scheme of con quest by saving her civilian popula- ton from liabilities which she delib- erately incurred on their behalf"

 Some of the members did not want to adjourn but wanted to take an- other ballot. MT. McMahon was one of those who fought adjournment and when some one remarked that it would do no good as all the commit teemen had their minds made up he said: '"No, they haven't. I'll change my vote.''

TWO MORE BRITISH STEAMERS ARE SUNK
Deptford and Western Coast Sent to Bottom By Tor
 pedoes or Mines.

London, Feb. 25, 11:4O a. m.-One sailor lost his life when the small British steamer Deptford, 230 feet long and 1,g0S tons, was sent to the bottom in 20 minutes either by a German torpedo from a submarine CT by coming in contact with a mine in the North Sea at 3 o'clock yester- day morning off Scarborough. The fifteen other members of the steam CTS crew were saved and were land- ed at South Shields early today.
 The engineer of the Deptford says he was on duty in the stokehold at the time the explosive in the tor pedo head or in the mine rent the Deptford in twain. He says he saw flash of blue flame shoot up from the bottom of the ship and through her deck. The force of the explo- sion threw him down violently and stunned him. He managed to reach the deck, however, as the vessel was heelng and just as the life-boat was being launched.
 It was the carpenter of the Dept ford who lost his life.
 After hours in an open and leak ing boat in snowstorm which caused them to suffer acutely, the men say they signalled steamer, but no no tice was taken of their appeal. Later, however, they encountered the steam CT Fu1gens, which picked them up and brought them into South Shields.
 Some members of the crew say they saw the wake of a submarine after the Deptford was struck.
