KOENIGSBERG IS
THROUGH RA|D|NG
British War Vessels Destroy
Commerce Raider in
East Africa.

LONDON. July Is. - The German
cruiser Koenigsberg. which took
refuge in the Rufigi river. German
east Africa, last October. after a brief
career as a commerce raider. has been
totally destroyed by British war yes
sells
A light cruiser, a small gunboat, two
river monitors and aeroplanes en-
compassed the ruin Of the German
vessel.
The Koenigsberg during her career
as raider operated in the Indian
ocean and destroyed only one vessel
the City Of Winchester, the value OF
which together with her cargo, was
S1,375. 900.
Following the distraction of the
winchester a Castle line steamer had
narrow escape, but managed to
elude the Koenigsberg and put into
Durham. The steamer Pegasus later
was disabled at Zanzibar and soon
afterwards vessels from the BRUSH
east Indian and Mediterranean squad
rons were sent in pursuit Of the Ger
man ship.
Located Near Malta.
After a search the Koenigsberg was
located in the vicinity OF Maria island.
One morning the vessel Somali, which
had been accompanying the Koenigs-
berg. was seen to be leaving the mouth
of the Rufigi river The Koenigsberg
soon after was located a few miles up
the river. Shells were rained on both
vessels and the SOmali was set on IRE
and sunk in mid channel. The Koen-
igsberg worked her way further up
the river and out of reach of the naval
runs.
Then it was decided to block the
entrance TO the river and bottle up
the German cruiser. For TINS pur-
pose the British steamer Newbrldge,
carving a cargo of 1000 tons OF coal
was utilized. After her crew had been
removed she was manned by naval
men and started up the river. the
Germans shelled the vessel as soon
as she came within range, but only
one man was injured. When the New
bridge had worked he way into posi-
tion three charges of gun cotton were
exploded in her holds and she sank
completely blocking the river mouth.
When the naval crew TOOK 10 the
boats lust prior to the explosion, the
Germans opened fire on them ana
the coxswain of one of the Launches
was struck and died almost instantly
The coxswain Of another launch also
was injured. Others were wounded
but none seriously.
Later another vessel was sunk near
the Newbridge.

CAN'T DISCUSS THE
MISCONDUCT OF WAR
Premier Asquith Will Not Permit Ii
i'm English House of
Commons.

LONDON. July 1S.-The house of
commons is not to be permitted to
discuss the misconduct of the war.
Premier Asquith made that fact clear
Monday afternoon in answering, or
rather in refusing to answer series
Of very disagreeable questions.
81 am of the opinion that it is not
in the public interest TO say more
than that no further public informa-
ton can be given at the moment ne
said II am satisfied it would serve
no good purpose. 1t would be TO the
detriment Of the best interests Of the
nation"
This was in answer to a question
bv Member Lynch, who, in pressing
for an opportunity to discuss the war,
asked if the premier would appoint a
commissioner TO probe the causes
which made necessary the appoint
ment of a minister of munitions after
10 months of war. Member Lynch,
incidentally, is the Col. Arthur Lynch
who raised an Irish regiment to hght
against England and with the Beers
during the Boar war.
He came near being hanged for
treason. but was parconed and subse-
ouentlv elected TO parliament from
County Clare.
Col Lynch was not alone in
heckling the premier. Sir Arthur
Markham wanted TO know whether the
premier was aware that the heavy
howitzers now used at the front had
been rejected by the war office as UNI
suitable for service. He followed this
nm nv asking whether ''in view of the
fact that the operations of the allies
had been crippled by the failure of
the war office to provide proper am
munition" the premier would tell the
house what authorities had been crit
icized and who was responsible
All these questions and others Of a
like nature. with which ne was bonn
barded Mr. Asquith declined 70 an

WOMEN PACIFISTS
REACH HERE ANGRY
To Protest to President Because
British Stopped Neu-
trail Ship.

Two peaceful women who went
abroad in the interests Of information
al peace returned from The Hague
yesterday on the steamship Hellig
Olav, armed with an indignant pro-
test to the President of the United
States because the British Admiralty
had detained their vessel eighty-four
hours at Stornoway.
Miss Julia Grace Wales and Miss
Lola NJ. Lloyd, American delegates to
the Women's International Peace Con-
ference, had with much personal in
convenience journeyed to the Neither
lands to help promulgate information
al harmony, but the courteous formal
ity of the White Star liner Cedric
now converted cruiser-in taking
the Hellig Olav to the port Of Storno-
way, on the northeast coast of the
Hebrides, did not please them.
The scandinavian vessel was
searched thoroughly and an Austrian
passenger was taken ashore Male
travellers received the British naval
officers with open arms and enter
tanned them, but the detention made
no nit with the returning women dele
gates.
Soon after the vessel got back on
her course the two disciples of peace
on earth, good will 40 men, evo lyed
a long letter Of protest addressed to
President Wilson, explaining that they
were dragged from a safe course on
neutral vessel into the danger zone,
and demanding that steps be taken
TO end this kind Of interference with
citizens of neutral nations"
Just what the women wanted the
President to do was not quite clear
but care was taken 10 explain that
they did not seek the use Of military
measures

SHUBERTS DEFEND
BAN AGAINST CRITIC
Explain in Appeal Why
Times" Man Was Barred
from Their Theatres.

Decision was reserved by the APP
pellate Division yesterday on the APP
peal of the Shubert Theatrical Com
pany in an action brought by Alexan-
der Woollcott, dramatic critic of "The
New York Times" restraining the the
atrical concern from barring him from
their theatres. Woollcott obtained a
temporary injunction and the Shuberts
seek to have this vacated. Several
interruptions were made by the JUS
tees during the course Of argument
by the opposing lawyers. While
charles II. Tut e was presenting the
case OF the Shuberts, Justice Bowling
asked, linen you claim you have the
rlght to exclude a person from your
ably?"
"No, your honor" replied Mr. Tut
tie, we claim we have the right to
exclude anybody who pursues a BUSH
ness that is inimical to ours" Pre-
siding Justice Ingraham interjected:
HIS business is not conducted in your
theatres. He simply goes there lis
tenlng TO your plays and then goes
out and writes"
Mr.. futile replied: "But he is there,
not as one OF the public, but to carry
on his business"
THAT makes no difference" said
Justice Ingraham, pursuing the argu-
ment. III a man goes to the theatre
and then goes away and writes about
the play he is not going to the thea
n
doesn't claim the right to do business
to go there like anybody else. n you
look into the motives Of everybody GO
ing to theatre there would be a good
deal Of confusion. Even II he does
90 there to write criticisms, it is
merely motive, nothing else"
There came time" said Mr.. Tut
tie in the course Of his argument,
when the defendants became alarmed
at the effect of the criticisms this
critic was writing. This was brought
to the defendants attention by vari-
Gus theatrical people. The matter
came to a climax when the plaintiff
wrote bitter criticism of Taking
Chances after which he was warned
he could no longer be admitted to the
Mr. futile went on to say that the
Shuberts had no objection to WOOL
colt attending their theatres as one
Of the general public seeking amuse-
ment, but that the objection against
him is as a dramatic critic. He also
contended that the business of Wooll-
colt was inimical to the business Of
the Shuberts.
Alfred A. Cook, counsel for Wooll-
colt, said the critic had written &C
cording TO his honest belief.
Mr.. Cook said in his brief: "The
success Of the defendants in this suit
would stand as a warning TO other
critics not 70 incur the displeasure
Of the defendants by informing the
community Of the weak and Objec-
tionable features Of any Of the de-
PENDANTS performances. The attitude
Of the defendants is that the maxi
mum Of the box office receipts must
be Forthcoming, even though IL be
necessary to perpetrate a fraud upon
the public in order TO attain this
happy result"
