TO WITHDRAW "F"
 TYPE FROM US. NAVY
Accident to Sisters of F-4 Makes Apparent Seri- \
 Ous Weaknesses. t

Honolulu Sept. 6.-As a result of the collision yesterday of the United States steamer Supply with the sub marines Fl, F-2 and Fs, putting the little divers completely out of com mission, naval officers here were dis cussing today the probability of the withdrawal of all the vessels from the service.
 After the loss last March of the F-4 with her crew of twenty-two men, the F type of submarine was made the subject of a strict investigation and the findings of the board of inquiry pointed out serious weakness com- mon to the three sister vessels of the group.
 The Supply ripped the shell off the F-2 to the water line and jamed her against the two other submarines with such force that the Els steer ing gear was smashed and her after fuel tank damaged. The F-3 also must be placed in dry dock for re- pairs before she is fit for service again.
 The work of cleaning the hull of the F-4 which recently was raised from the bottom of Honolulu harbor has been suspended until tomorrow. Thus far fifteen bodies have been talk en from the wreck.

INTERNATIONAL LAW
 PERMITTED LINERS GUN
Washington Confident of Sat- isfactOry Outcome to
 Hesperian Affair.
Washington,

Washington, Sept. 6.-Complete details of the attack upon the Allan liner Hesperian were awaited today by officials of the American government, who recalling recent assurances from Ambassador Won Bernstorff, seemed confident that a satisfactory explan- ation would be forthcoming. While passengers aboard the Hesperian as- serted she was torpedoed without warning, the first official reports as announced by the state departm ent did not clear up that point or indi- cate whether the ship attempted to escapesRre~ ~.
 5 There was no comment on the dis aster from either the White House or the state department, but high off, cials, it was understood, thought it inconceivable that 9 German comman- der had attacked a peaceful passen ger liner without warning in view of the recently expressed attitude of the imperial government.
 First reports from Consul Frost at Queenstown state that the Hesperian carried a AZ inch rifle mounted aft. That is permissible-for defensive purposes-under international law. It was suggested however, that the present of the gun might figure un- der some circumstances in the subna- rine commanders explanation to. the Berlin admiralty.

DISTRICT COURT JUDGE
 SHOT FROM AMBUSH
w. s. Knowles of Providence Found Lying by
 Roadside.

Providence, R. l., Sept. 6.-Justice Willis s. Knowles of the eigth judicial district, was assassinated just after he | had left his bungalow in North Scitu- | ate to take a trolley car for Provf- 1 dence today He received three bull
 let wounds, two in the back and one
 n the jaw The attack occurred about ] 100 yards from the house and appar-
 entIy some bushes that lined the will
 Iage road leading to the car line. ! After having been wounded at least once, the justice turned back and had 1 nearly gained the gate opening into
 his place when he fell dead.
 The killing was not witnessed ex- cept by the assassins, who escaped. Later the police detained two men on suspicion. They are Italian laborers and according to the police, one of them carried a revolver which was loaded.
 The body was found by Knowles housekeeper Mrs. Warddell, who had run from the house when she heard a mans voice, with a foreign accent cry. Now judge, I've got you" She saw no one but thought that the voice came from the shrubbery.
 Justice Knowles was 48 years old and unmarried. His legal residence was at Cranston, but this summer he had occupied the bungalow at North Scituate. His office was in Providence. He was fond of the country and en- 1aI, s,1 ing fox hunting.
 The police are pursuing the theory that he was killed in revenge by some litigant against whom he had given a decision. His circuit was made up of the city of Cranston and the towns of Johnston, Foster ana Scituate, in each of which he held court once a week.
 According to the police he had re- gently complained of the conditions under which a saloon, a short dis tance from his bungalow was con- ducted. In recent years many ar rests have been made in North Sci tuate over alleged promoters of cock fighting.
 Justice Knowles was born in Hook ingport, Athens County, Ohio. His parents were Horace and Sophia Huntington Knowles, who were of an old Cape Cod family. He entered Ohio University and studied three | years there. Tn 1890 he removed to Boston, coming here three years i later. He was admitted to the | Rhode Island bar in 1898 and in | 1908 was elected to the bench.
 The justice had planned to leave | next Thursday for visit of a month | at his birthplace.

MILKMAN FINDS
 MURDERED MAN
GuiIford Italian Killed by Unknown AssaiIant-Stripped of Shoes
 and Trousers.

Guilford, Sept. 6.-As a milkman named Johnson was driving over Great Hill early today, he found the body of a young man, later identihed as that of Antonio Corsi, in the road. The mans head had been battered in, apparently by a blunt weapon. An open knife lay near the body and this might have been drawn by Corsi to defend himself. The body had been stripped of shoes and trousers. The assallant had made his way over stone wall on the side of the road and his tracks were to be seen with Gistinctness
 Corsi worked with a railroad sec- tion gang, and boarded with an Italian family named Mungie, here. He has a wife and two children in Italy. At the boarding house fellow Italians said that they believed Corsi was held up and killed by some one who knew that he had some money with him. He was known to carry some of his savings with him all the time. The fact that the mans trousers had been stolen was proof to them that the man who killed Corsi knew him.
 Coroner Mix in New Haven was notified and came here.

 DIES AT HOSPITAL
Well Known Old Time Resident Succumbs to Pneumonia
 at Age of 67.

The death of Patrick Carmodv of 400 High street, which occurred at 2 o'clock this morning at St. Francis hospital in Hartford, removed from this city one of it's best known old, time residents. MT. Carmody was a. lifelong resident of this city and was known and liked by a large circle of friends. The funeral will be held Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock from St. Mary's church and interment will be in the new Catholic cemetery.
 Mr. Carmody is survived by three daughters, the Misses Mary, Julia and Nora, and nine sons, John, of Danville, Pa, James, of Buffalo, N. Y., Michael of New York city, Thomas, Timothy, Cornelius, William, Daniel and Richard of this city.
 For more than thirty years MT. Carmody was employed by the board of public works as a teamster and his old gray horse is still a. familiar sight, hauling sand and dirt for the street department.
 He was sixty-seven years of age and during the past few years his constitution was broken down by several unfortunate accidents. About two years ago while hurrying to catch a train at the Springfield rail- road station he slipped and fell under the wheels of the train and was so badly injured that it was necessary to amputate his arm. About a year ago he was assaulted by Ludwig Stahalick and so badly beaten that his life was dispaired of for time. AL though he recovered, he lost the sight of one eye as a result of this assault. His other eye was also sightless Although MT. Carmody' S assailant was arrested he disclaimed any intentional assault upon the old man and claimed self defense.
