The swimming pool at Wheeling

hundreds of city folk, as a result Of
the extreme heat of the past few days.
Bathers are taking advantage Of this

July 26.
Edward Thursield, chief engineer Of
the bridge construction firm of Henry
Killick & Company, returns from the
field and is introduced to Arnold Far

charge OF his accounts. Arnold is a
member of respected family. His
sister, Dorothy, is entrusted in their

and their younger sister Ruth, and
the responsibility Of their heavily
mortgaged house. .
Arnold has become attracted by the
glowing stories Of clerk named
WEIGH, formerly employed in the same
Office but discharged for gambling.
Becoming deeply involved Arnold
takes twenty thousand dollars from
the pay roll, charging it to Thursield's
account for the huge bridge. The chief

desperation. He is unable to borrow
the necessary money from Walter

Ford is Confident.

New York, Dec. 4,-Henry Ford's
peace ship sails today. With the slogan
"0ut of the Trenches" by Christmas
as an ideal, but admittedly perhaps on
ly an ideal, the Oscar II was slated to
get under way early this afternoon.
Around the Hotel Biltmore, peace
headquarters, delegates in excited
groups made the last arrangements this
afternoon. At least a dozen of them
were too late to sail, for stheir pass
ports could not he produced in time.
Hundreds of persons planned to be at
the dock to see the party off and to
wish their mission success. Former
Secretary Of State Bryan promised to
be on hand to shake hands with all
the pilgrims and say good luck.
The peace ship is slated to stop first
at Christiania, Norway, about Decem-
Der IA. Thence it will go to Stock
holm, Copenhagen and The Hague. At
the latter place, Ford intends to leave
an international peace court sitting, to
which the nations at war could appeal
when they desire to start peace nego'
tiations.
Though ridiculed from some quarters,
though meeting with doubt in many,
Ford is confident Of success Just
what the party will do is still some
what vague. Plans however, will be
crystallized aboard ship. Ford de.
clared that the world will think differ
emily of the project before it was done.
Former Secretary of State Bryan
may join the party later. Present plans
cali for six weeks stay abroad, but
Ford admitted this time may be con-
siderably extended.
Sailing on the Oscar are l40 dele
gates, including number of news
papermen, magazine writers and movie
men.

RECALL OF CONSUL
Won NUBER PROBABLE

Washington, Dec. 4.-Recall of Amer
lean Consul General Won Nuber of New
York is imminent, according to indi-
cations today.
In its "clean up" of Teuton agents,
displeasing to this government, the ad-
ministration may likewise reach even
higher diplomatics, it was strongly
limited.
These were the outstanding facts to-
day in the situation arising from Aus
tro-German activities, which has already
resulted in the recall of Austrian AM
bassador Dumba, and the request yes
terday for withdrawal Of Attache Boy
ed and Won Papen of the German en-
bassy.
Just what will be the outcome Of q
request for safe conduct of Boy-ed and
Papen is unknown. There is no doubt
here that Germany will at once ae-
quiesce in the government S request for
their withdrawal but it is possible that
they will merely be sent to some other
part of the American continent, thus
obviating the need for an American re-
quest for an allied safe conduct.

An unidentified man was struck and
instantly killed by Southern Pacific
northbound train No. 54 at 9:40 this
morning about two blocks south of the
crossing near the Yew Park school. Ac-
cording to w. G. Park, who was also
walking along the track the man did
not hear the train approaching until
it was upon him and then was hit be.
fore he could get off of the track. The
back of his head was crushed in and
his left leg was broken between the
knee and ankle.
Mr.. Park told Coroner Clough that he
was walking along the track about 100
feet ahead of the man killed. Park
heard the train whistle for the cross,
ing and looked around and saw the man
on the track. A few seconds later he
heard the whistle giving some extra
toots and looked again to see the train
upon the man who half turned his
head just as the cowcatcher struck the
mans legs and threw his head back
against the front end of the engine and
then tossed him into the creek along

the water but he evidently had been
instantly killed, When Mr. Clough
found the man the pockets had been
turned inside out and not scrap of
paper remained to identity the man. In
one of his pockets the coroner found a
husking peg and some cigarette papers
and a package of tobacco. The man
wore a coat that had been purchased
from the Barnes store and hat that
came from the Plymouth Clothing com
pany in this city. His clothes were
we'll worn and he was roughly dressed.
He appeared to be about Is years of
age and weighed about l4O pounds. He
was five feet seven inches tail and had
blue eyes and brown hair. No one
who saw the body could identify it and
there were no scars or marks except
the sears of deep burn, on his left
thigh.
The body was taken in charge by the
coroner who will hold it short time
for Identification.

The president, however, made it
known that no wedding gifts are de-
sired. Despite this, however, diplomats,
royalty and high officials are likely to
make splendid presents.
What the plans for the presidential
honeymoon are is still a secret 1t Is
believed, however, that the couple will
take trip either to the south or to
New Jersey. This must necessarily be

OFFICIALS
SENTENCED TO PEN
Judge Says Sentence Severe
For Purpose Of Deterring
Others

New York, Dec. 4-Dr. Karl Buenz,
head of the Hamburg-American line,
was sentenced today to 1S months in
the Atlanta federal penitentiary fol-
lowing his conviction on charges of
customs violations in connection with
supplying German warships at sea.
Similar sentences were imposed on
his fellow eonspirators George Koetter
and Adolph Hochmeister, while Joseph
Poppinghause was sentenced to year
ana day in Atlanta.
The Hamburg American line was
fined nominal sum.
Defense Attorney Rand Immediately
made application for writ of error
upon which the case will go on appeal
to the court of appeals. This, too, act
ed automatically to stay execution of
sentence.
The defendants were released ON $10,-
900 bail each, double the bail required
while they were on trial.
Judge Howe previously overruled mo-
tions to set aside the verdict and to ar
rest judgment. Then United States
District Judge Marshall moved SEN
tence.
"It is desirable" he said, "that
punishment shall be substantial not
so much for its effect on these defend
ants, but as warning to others"
Attorney Rand interposed that the
defendants had been actuated by no
wrongful purpose and that they regret
ted if they had done any wrong. More
over, he asserted, others had executed
the orders of Buenz.
Although convicted on two counts,
sentences were imposed on only one.
In the Buenz case, Judge Howe said
he would recommend that the warden
accord the prisoner leniency on account
of the fact that he is 70 years old.

That the local officials are after

report indicated he had been asked tc

Meantime, authorities said the net is
tightening about Crowley. S. s. Murphy

Crowley sought to employ him as an
aid in blowing up a powder factory al
Bachus, Utah. Still other reported
witnesses will be Louis Boyle and r

Just what the officials sought to de-
velop from Won Brincken is mystery
That he had been associated with Crow
ley seems certain but, in common witt
the consul, Won Brincken declares
Crowley was hired merely as detec
tive to get legitimate information fol-
the consulate.
There was some suggestion that BopI
intends to repudiate Crowley later As
to L. J. Smith, alleged Crowley un

seen him.
Regarding the alleged efforts Of
Crowley to get the aid of the Russian
ambassadors wife in expediting "dried
fruit" shipments to the Russian Red
Cross aboard munitions steamers, BopI
expressed doubt that such letter was
ever writton. If it were, he suggest
