Civil Suit Likely.

Washington, Feb. 23.-President
Wilson conferred with Secretary
Bryan concerning the destruction Of
the American steamer Evelyn off the
coast of Germany last Friday, but in
the absence OF definite information
as to the cause of the wreck, no
course OF action beyond diplomatic in
quiries was decided upon.
Anxiety prevailed among officials
over The fate OF that portion OF the
crew Of the Evelyn supposed to have
rowed for the coast of Holland after
the vessel struck.
1t was conceded in official quarters
that if the nationality of the mine
were not determined, and if no proof
were obtained to show whether Of
fetal notifications to neutral vessels
concerning the course they should
steer, were being followed by the
Evelyn there would be virtually no
ground for diplomatic protest.
A civil suit, however, by the United
States war risk insurance bureau and
the owners of the vessel and cargo is
certain to follow upon such evidence
as can be gathered through the Of
fetal inquiries now being made. Some
officials thought that claim for dam
ages might even be laid against both
Germany and Great Britain if the
mines were sown far beyond belliger-
ent zones of operation without giving
due notice to neutral craft.
The Evelyn is the first ship insured
with the bureau of war risk insurance
to be lost since it began operations
several months ago. Insurance on
ships and cargoes amounting to more
than $55,OOO,OOO has been written.

$152, 961, 9S1, al increase OF about IS,

amendment TO the naval appropria-
ton bill which will have many sup
porters authorizing the construction
of fifty seagoing submarines to cost
S1,400,000 each and twenty-five coast
defense submarines to cost $550,000

ed the astonished teacher. "Well that's

Mr.. Gardner aroused laughter when

DAYTON DENIES CHARGES
Judge Appears Before Congressional
Probers In WASHINGTON.

Washington, Feb. 23.-Emphatic de-

q have rested for several months
under these charges he said, Il have
been subjected to espionage in my
private affairs, my debIs and financial
obligations have been pried into and
a constant series OF inftammatory ar
ticles has appeared in newspapers"
The judge dwelt upon the attitude
OF the United Mine Workers of Ameri-
ca toward him, referring to cases in
which he decided against that organ
ization and declaring that he simply
carried out the law without any
prejudice against union labor"
He said he had in no way sought TO

ically denied that he had joined in

mer President Roosevelt, dated May
rs, 1914, in which the former president
stated that he instituted an inyestiga-
ton OF Judge Jackson on his own re-
sponsibility and appointed Judge Day
ton without solicitation from any
one"
Judge Dayton denied that he had
ever shown favoritism to the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad in litigation
in his court. He said that before his
appointment to the bench he had been
a local attorney for the Baltimore and
Ohio, but that his sole fee from the
railroad had been an annual pass.
The charge that he had manipulated
receiverships and trusteeships in
order to give them to his personal
and political friends Judge Dayton
said had mot the slightest founda-
ton in fact" and could be disproved
by the court records.
Judge Dayton said that the "prying
into his private loans with banks"
was an effort to ruin him financially
