KUNKEL ON SUNDAY SCHOOLS
Judge Criticises Teaching Methods
When Sentencing Young Offenders

Just before sending to the Hunting
don Reformatory four of five boys who
confessed to almost score of robber-
les in this city, Judge Kunkel last even
ing dropped word Of criticism regard
ing the methods of teaching in the
Sunday schools. The boys sent TO the
refOrmatory are Paul Schubauer, Jo-
seph Osborne, Milton Sehreffier and
George Dare. Sentence was suspended
in the case of Weston Ashenfelter.
The boys all set up an appeal for
leniency, among other things saying
that they have FOR years attended Sun
day schools regularly.
"'That Is not saying very much" be-
gan the Judge, "if you attended Sun
day school and broke into other peo-
pie s homes during the week -
The Court then suggested it may be
possible that some boys 60 to Sunday
school because it is a mandatory rule
laid down by their parents and that
when they do get there possibly they do
not become interested or the teaching is
confined to a distant subject not deal
ing with the children s own welfare.
" 1t seems, said Judge Kunkel, "to
be regarded as more important to-day
to teach the children how far it is from
Jerico to Jerusalem, than Thou shalt
not steal.

CREW BATTLE WITH FLAMES
Steamer Perugia Has Narrow Escape
From Destruction at Sea

New York, Jan. 12.-The Anchor
line steamer Perugia, in to-day from
Mediterranean ports, had a narrow
escape from serious INJURY by fire when
west of the Azores. Smoke was discov-
cred among bales of hemp in No. 8 hold
and when the matches we're opened a
black cloud rolled up from the smolder-
ing cargo. A gale was blowing at the
time.
The crew fought the fire by hauling
out as much of the hemp as possible
and flooding the hold. For time the
fire seemed to be spreading and the
captain turned the ship back on its
course seeking to reach the Azores. A
wireless message was sent reporting
the fire. After a fight of four hours,
however, the blaze was brought under
control. The captain again changed the
direction of the ship and proceeded on
his way west.

mythical karlsruhe IS
AGAIN sunk. STORY FROM
The BRITISH west indies

Montreal, Jan. IA detailed de-
soription of naval battle off Grenada,
British West Indies, is given in u let
ter received here to-day from an eve
witness, who asserts that, in his opinion,
the German cruiser Karlsruhe took part
and was sunk. The letter was made
public by the Montreal "Gazettc" and
was received by a member of the "Ga-
zette" staff from one of his friends
at Grenada.
The letter was dated Grenada, De-
cember 3, and the writer asserts that
after the battle life buoy came ashore
marked oh. NJ s. Karlsruhe, - together
with wreckage and barrels and food
stutfs. He further writes that fisher
men had brought the news that they
had met dead bodies floating in the vi
cinity of the battle, numbers of candles
marked "Kaiser Light; boots with
feet in them, helmets and other wreck
age. The letter reads as follows:
SIT may interest you to know that
on Wednesday evening the 25th ulto.,
while at my house, situated on ridge
overlooking the sea to the north of
Grenada, | witnessed a naval engage
between more than two warships. The
action lasted, as far as | observed,
from Z o'clock p. m. to IL p. IN. and
appeared to be on the very horizon to
the north and northwest of the island.
As the darkness increased it was quite
apparent when broadsides of projectiles
exploded within seconds of each other
on either side within range of four to
six miles.
"I did not hear the explosion of the
shells, as the fight was too far away,
but as the fight went on the position of
the combatants veered round to the
north and east and increased inseverity.
Nobody in st. Patrick s appeared to
have noticed what had happened and
though l made diligent inquiries l
could not get my theory of a fight sup
ported. Whether the government knew
-of the engagement, or not, they GER
tainly censored all news as regards it.
"Six days afterwards | was confirm
ed in my opinion by the fact that
Sauters fishermen fishing in the Carria-
con channel brought in the news that
they had met dead bodies floating on
