GERMAN MONEY SPENT

Seven hundred and fifty thousand dol lars of German money, the defendants admit, was spent in chartering and out fitting four vessels for relief of the cruisers. This money, the government is prepared to prove, according to MT. Wood, was placed in a New York bank to the credit of man who was told to spend it under direction of Capt. K. Boy-Ed, the German naval attache, and was spent in accordance with these in- structions. Millions of dollars, the gov ernment computes, were spent in charter ing and supplying the 15 vessels which figure in the charges.
 What these vessels sought to carry the German cruisers. the government charges, was virtually a complete list of the cruisers needs in the way of stores and supplies. Tn two instances, it is charged, complete water condensing apparatus was carried so that sea water might be condensed for drinking purposes.
 Among the many men under subpoena by the government is an eyewitness of the naval abttle in 1914 between the Ger man and British converted cruisers, Cap Trafalgar and Carmania. The Cap Ira falgar was sunk and the Carmania all most shared her enemy's fate. It is charged that the Cap Trafalgar was one of the Germanl lwarships to which the de- fendant sought to send supplies.
 Two of the 15 ships, it is charged. sailed from Pacific and two others, the Tram and Sommerstad, were to have sailed from Philadelphia. but did not because the government was advised of their alleged plans. The other II ships, the dates of their sailings, all in 1914 the ports from which they cleared and the norts given as their destinations follow:
 Berwind, American, August ,. from New York for Buenos Aires; Lorenzo, Ameri- can, August 6, from New York for Buenos Aires; Thor, Norwegian August 3, from Newport News for Buenos Aires; Atina, Norwegian, August 2, from Philadelphia for La Guayra; Nepos, Norwegian August 22 from Philadelphia for Mon- rovia; Mowinckel, Norwegian, September |2, from Philadelphia for Monrovia; Unita, Norwegian, September s, from Phila- 6elphia ; for Cadiz; Graecia, German August 27, from New York for Cadlz; Macedonia, American August 29, from New Orleans for CadiZ; Navarro, Sep tember 5, from Pensacola, Fla. for Per- nambueo, and the Mario Quesada, for merly the Gladstone, which sailed in October, 1914, from Newport News for Valparaiso.

GEORGE HUGHES

Moline's New Baseball Manager
Predicts a Prosperous
Season in 1915.
HAS TEAM WELL PLANNED
Thinks Rock Island Situation May
Have Had Something TO do with
Postponment Of Meeting.

George Hughes. AIoline's new base
ball manager. arrived in the city last
night from his home in Michigan He
paid a visit at Dubuque enroute and
Mrs. Hughes will remain with rela-
tives there till her husband makes ar
ranEements for her coming 10 the

The new pilot IS pleased with the
spirit shown by the local hackers and

With Staley on FIRST. himself on sec
ond. Falk at shortstop and White at
third. Hughes thinks he Will have an
infeid that no club in the league can
excel He wants another good pitch
er and a couple hard-hitting outfield-
ers and thinks he Will then be ready
FOR the training season. he believes in
an early start and will be the first
manager in the league 10 have his men
in uniform. He says the start is half
the battle. and that his team Will be
in condition when the umpire yells

Hughes expected TO attend the meet
ing OF the league 10 have been held in
Davenport today and this is the rea-
son for his reporting at this time. He
did not receive word OF the postpone
ment OF the session till he was on his
way. As TO the reason for that post
ponement he has doubts that the suit
OF TN. Federal league leaders against
organized baseball has much to do
with IT, He thinks possibly the Rock
Island situation may have influenced
President Tearney in calling on the
gathering. He has little fear OF the ef-
feet OF the court action begun at Chi
cago and says he looks forward 10 one
OF the most prosperous seasons base

Hughes is an Ohio product. having
