by the dead woman.

but they are held as material witnesses.
Tallas, who was locked up last night at
police headquarters. will be arraigned to-
day on a charge of homicide.
According to the confession of Tallas
his position with the Nichols household
was obtained for him by Waldemar,
who he names as the instigator of the
crime and for several weeks importuned
him to take part in the. robbery of the
wealthy woman. Tallas refused he says,
until scheme was proposed to him by
which he was to let the men in the
house. be bound, and have nothing
further to do with the deed except to
share in the loot
With the understand that no
harm was tc come to his employer
Tallas confesscs that he finally agreed
to the plan on Tuesday night, and the
deed was set for Wednesday night
when it was known that the butler and
the maid would be cut. Failure of the
burglars to tie Tdllas' feet as we'll as
his hands led the police to suspect his
story.
Just what jewels are missing is not
known. but the thieves only secured
the valuables worn at the time by
Mrs. Nichols. the major portion of her
collection being in a safe deposit

NCRIMINATING PAPERS ON ARCHIBALD

The President lost no time in reaching
4 decision in the Dumba case. The first
news that James F. J. Archibald had
been arrested in London and that in
eliminating documents had been found
on his person. was printed in London
dispatch to The Herald on September s.
Dispatches from London printed on Sep
tember carried the substance of Dr.
Dumba's letter On September Ambas-
sador Dumba wired Secretary Of State
Lansing from LenoX asking for an op-
portunity to make a verbal explanation.
He was received on Tuesday. September
:. His explanation failed to convince
and his requested recall is the result
Although friction between the United
States government and Ambassador
Dumba did not reach a serious point
until the recent disclosures regarding his
efforts to tie up munition plants in this
country engaged in making war supplies
for the allies. the relations between the
Ambassador and former Secretary of
State Bryan were decidedly cool during
the closing period of Mr.. Bryan's pre-
miership. This was due, it has since
been learned. to a report made to the
Austrian foreign office by the Ambassa-
dor of a conversation which took place
at the State Department between HIM
self and Secretary Bryan Immediately
after the torpedoing of the Lusitania.
This report. transmitted to Berlin, and
credited with having gone far towards
stiffening the backbone of Germany
against the demands of the United
States for a disavowal, quoted Secretary
Bryan as stating that regardless of the
firm tone of the first Lusitania note,
the United States would never 60 to war
over the outrage
Subsequently. it has been learned, the
German foreign minister, Count Won
JaGow, during one of his interviews with
United States Ambassador Gerard on the
subject, informed the latter of what Mr.
Bryan had been quoted as saying. The
story goes that Mr.. Gerard who was
considerably upset over the intelligence,
Immediately cabled to Washington to
learn If the report was true. 1t required
much explaining to set Germany right,
and in the meantime Ambassador Dumba
found Mr.. Bryan not half so confiding.
Since Mr.. Bryan's exit from the Cabi-
net the Washington government had been
given reason to believe that DR.. Dumba
had changed his tactics, and was ear
nestly working with Count Won Bern
storfr, the German Amba ssador. to get
Germany to agree to a modification Of
her submarine warfare. and to comply
with the demands of the United States
with respect to both the Arabic and
Lusitania cases.
Consequently Washington was prepared
to be shocked when news was received
here last Sunday from London telling
of the arrest there of James F. ]. Archi-

tional autograph communication from

BRITISH TRANSPORT IS
REPORTED TORPEDOED
Southland. Formerly Vaderland. Is
Struck in Turkish Waters. Accord
ling to Bremen Paper.

Berlin. Sept. 9. by wireless telegra-
ply to Tuckerton. N. IA statement
given out by the Overseas News
Agency today quotes the Weser-
zeitung of Bremen as saying that the
British steamship Southland. serving
as a transport. was torpedoed recent
ly in Turkish waters.
The News Agency says: The
Weserzeitung. of Bremen. points out
that the transport Southland was tor
pedoed in Turkish waters. The South
land formerly was the Red Star liner
Vaderland. These steamers flew the
Belgian flag up to the time of the
occupation of Belgium, and then sailed
under the American flag. Now the
Southland. which lately was flying
the American flag. suddenly was
changed into 2 British transport"
No previous report has been made
concerning the torpedoing of the
Southland. A wireless dispatch from
Berlin last week quoted telegram
from Sofia to the effect that Brit
ish transport had been sunk by a
mine off the entrance to the OAR
danelles. with the loss of 1870 men.
1t was thought at the time that the
Berlin report might have been an
inaccurate version of the sinking Of
tne BRUSH transport hoydi Eu"dTu
in the Aegean Sea on August IA by
a German submarine.
The British government has made
no announcement of the sinking Of
another transport. Shipping records
show, however. that the Red Star
liner Vaderland was renamed the
Southland. being placed under the
British flag. and was Communicated
by the British government for war
purposes last March. She is listed
as being employed in the hospital
service.
