Archibald to Jail
UDOn His Arrival
in u. S., Report

WASHINGTON. Sept 1S.-It be-
came known from an absolutely re-
liable source today that Correspond
ent James T. J. Archibald, who is said
to have been the bearer of private
dispatches from Austrian Ambassador
Dumba 10 the Vienna government,
will be put in jail by the United
States government upon his arrival
in the United States.
Acting under instructions from the
White House agents of the depart
ment of justice will meet Archibald
when he reaches New York on the
steamer Rotterdam from Holland.
All officials here are maintaining
strictest silence regarding Archibald's
case. but 1t became known today that
United States Attorney Marshall, at
New York, has been instructed by the
department of Justice, which takes the
view that there is ground for consid-
ering whether Archibald violated a
federal law. The question OF whether
he actually knew the contents of the
papers he carried probably will be the
deciding factor on what action the
government ultimately takes toward
him.
The statute on which the govern
ment is proceeding fixes a fine of not
more than $1,000 and Imprisonment of
not more than three years for its vio-
1ation.

! The priest was at the wheel of the
car and turned into a narrow sandy
road to make q short cut from Corlies
to Asbury avenues. The car wobbled
in the deep sand and turned over on
its side in ditch. Father MERRIAM
was thrown out, but DePass was
pinned beneath the machine. The
priests injuries are not serious.
Father MERRIAM has been at Brad
ley Beach recuperating from an ILL
ness. He recently purchased the ma
chine from DePass, who owned a
berg. DePass had been teaching him
how to run 1t.
After the accident Father McEr-
lain, stunned. walked back along the

in an automobile about the accident,
and they, going. to the overturned

der 1t with his neck broken. His

ORDUNA ATTACK
IS EXPLAINED AS
UN|NTENT|ONAL.
U-Boat Was Unable to Make
Liners Nationality Owing
TO the Weather.

WASHINGTON, Sept 1S. - Ger
many's explanation of the unsuccess-
ful attempt to destroy the Cunard
liner Orduna on July 3 Is that the
submarine commander violated his
instructions, which were not to at
tack any liner, but that because of
the weather he was unable to make
out the character or nationality of
the Orduna.
The Orduna, bound from Liverpool
to New York with some 1000 passen-
gers. of whom twenty-five were
Americans, was attacked by a tor
pedo, which barely missed her. and
then was shelled by the submarine
until she was out OF range.
To substantiate the statement that
the German commander was inclined
TO follow his orders, 1t Is stated that
he soon after allowed the steamer
Normandie, carrying a cargo of lum-
ber, to pass unmolested.
The German explanation, which
comes in the form of note, was laid
before President Wilson today by
Secretary Lansing and may figure In
the discussion of the submarine issue
with Count Won Bernstorff, the Ger
man ambassador.

REVENUE MAN
CAVANAGH TO
LOSE HIS JOB
Resignation is Requested as
Result of Dispute With
Deputy Collector.

Strained relations in the local in
ternal revenue branch eliminated in
break today. when Division Deputy
Joseph r. Cavanagh, in the service
for twenty years, received a regis
tered letter from Chief Deputy Col
lector John V. Diefenthaler. asking
for his resignation.
It has been apparent for some time
past that smoothness was lacking in
the relation between the chief deputy
and the division deputy. Today
neither would discuss the situation
According to reports Revenue Col
lector Charles V. Duffy will back up
Mr.. Diefenthaler's action in the mat
ter. The trouble between Mr. Cava-
nagh and the department Is said to
be due to a controversy with Mr..
Diefenthaler over some Office routine
matters last week The controversy,
1t is alleged, led to Mr.. Cavanagh
making statements calculated to af-
feet Office discipline. Mr. Diefenthaler
made a report of the matter and he
has been backed by his chief. 1t is
understood that Mr.. Duffy took the
stand that MIR. Cavanagh displayed no
effort to uphold the Office system that
the former has inaugurated.
At internal revenue offices on the
ninth floor of the Kinney building,
Mr.. Cavanagh was not at his desk
and 1t was stated he had not ap-
peared today. At Mr.. Cavanagh' S
residence, Al Franklin street, his pres
ence was admitted by Mrs. Cava-
naugh. who would not, however, per-
nit an Evening Star reporter TO see
her husband. She stated he had been
confined to his bed since Friday, and
that the outcome of a doctors visit
today would decide whether or mother
husband could be seen.
Asked whether Mr.. Cavanagh had
received the registered letter, she re-
piled, Il cannot say anything about
that. You will have to ask Mr.. Cava-
nagh. and / cannot permit you to
talk 10 him now"
When Chief Deputy Collector DEF
enthaler was asked whether he had
sent suci letter, he replied, II will
have nothing to say about that yet
He appeared astonished that any hint
of the over Sunday developments in
the revenue office had become public.
Mr.. Cavanagh's post as division
deputy paid salary of 81, 400 a year.
1t was not civil service position, as
the department is not under civil SER
vice rules It's duties consisted chiefly
of an inspection for Federal law vio-
lations In cigar factories. breweries
and retail liquor places.
