DEMOCRATS ARE NOT

Their Leaders Sought at Least Two

They Now Criticise

Republicans generally throughout

selves over the unconscious humor of
the Democratic situation respecting
the selection of school directors. 1t
appears that at least two of the Re-
publican candidates were in the minds
of the Democratic Ansses as nonparti-
san selections. In fact, when the Tele-
graph stated the other day that one of
the Republican candidates had been
approached by the chairman of the
Democratic city committee with view
to placing his name on a nonpartisan
school board ticket this paper was
not aware of the fact that another of
the Republican candidates. who has
since been nominated by all the par
ties, had also been approached by the
Democratic machine representatives.
These facts are illuminating and
demonstrate the admirable selections
of the Republican party in the pres
ent campaign. 1t is also an assurance
that the people are likely to be we'll

clan who was fatally shot while on
an automobile trip from this city to
Newport on Tuesday night, was ar
rested to-day after three negroes had
signed written confession saying
that Mrs Mohr had hired them to
Kill the doctor. The negroes are
charged with the murder. They are
George w. Heals, the chauffeur who
was driving DR.. Mohrs car at the time
of the shooting; Cecil V. Brown,
formerly employed as a hostler by
DR.. Mohr, and Henry Spellman, half
brother of Brown. No specific charge
has been brought against Mrs. Mohr,
who Vehemently denied the accusa-
tions, which she characterized as
absurd.
Heafis had been detained by the
police since the shooting as his ac-
count of the affair conflicted with the
given by Miss Emily G. Burger, the
doctors assistant, who was in the
automobile and was also wounded.
Brown Under Arrest
Brown was taken into custody last
night after Heals had told the police
that he and the hostler had plotted to
| rob Dr. Mohr on the night of the
shooting. The authorities did not be-
lieve the stories of the negroes and
Brown was subjected to a searching
examination during which, the police
say, he broke down and admitted that
he was concerned in the shooting and
that Mrs. Mohr had offered him $4,000
! to kill her husband
Healis and Spellman, questioned
separately, corroborated Browns story
and the arrest of Mrs. Mohr followed.
Brown at first denied that he had
any connection with the affair. He

CREW OF SUBMARINE

Undersea Boat Not Destroyed, but
Caught in Steel Net, Says
White Star Officer
CRAFT WAS OF LATEST TYPE
Place of Capture Not Made Public
by Man Who Claims to
Know Vessels Fate
CRAFT WAS OF LATEST TYPE
BY associated Press

New York, Sept. Am officer of
the White Star Liner Adriatic, which
arrived from Liverpool to-day declar-
ed that the German submarine which
sunk the Arabic had been caught in a
steel net and the U-boat's double crew
were now prisoners in England. He
added that within the past sixty days
the British have captured no less than
fifty German submarines.
Sir Herbert Holt, president of the
Royal Bank of Canada, a passenger,
said the members of the British FL
nancial Commission who are coming
TO New York to effect a readjustment
of the foreign exchange situation, were
to have sailed on the Adriatic but
changed their plans at the last min
ute.
No Occasion For Alarm
From another source it was learned
that the commissioners, after can
ceiling their passage on the Adriatic
planned to sail for New York by way
of Canada. II see no occasion for
alarm in the United States over the
sudden drop in foreign exchange, and
especially the English pound sterl-
ing, said Sir Herbert. II might say
that regardless of how low the ex-
change falls, Great Britain must have
in this country. Also, l feel confident
that the exchange matter will soon be
adjusted"
After stating positively that the sub
marine which torpedoed the Arabic
had been captured, the officer said he
could not, for obvious reasons, disclose
the place of capture, nor detail the
circumstances. He said, however, that
the U-boat was of the latest and larg-
st type in the German navy, and that
-ne craft carried a double crew. He
understood the Germans now manned
all of the large submarines with an
auxiliary crew for training purposes.
Reason to Be Proud
Major General Sir Samuel Hughes,
Canadian Minister of Militia and De-
fense, and recently knighted by King
George, was another passenger. He
has been visiting the battle front in
France and Flanders and training
camps in England.
We have every reason to be proud
of the Canadians and the Yankees who
are fighting with them in the
trenches" ne said. Il would not at
tempt to predict when the war will be
over, but can say that from our stand
point everything is now very satisfac-
tory"
Sir Robert Borden. Premier of Can
ada, was also on board.
Six survivors of the Arabic arrived
on the Adriatic.
None of the passengers saw the tor
pedo which sunk the Arabic. John
Doherty said he was in his stateroom
when he heard shout and started for
the deck. Before he had gone far he
said he was shot many feet into the
air and landed in the water
