Honolulu, March 29.-After two
days of wasted effort in hooking and
pulling what proved to be an old
anchor instead of the missing United
States submarine F-4, relief workers
discovered the location of the trapped
vessel outside the harbor
The discovery that an error had
Deen made as to the location of the
F-4 destroyed the last faint hope of
finding any of the submarines crew
OF twenty-one men alive. The anchor
that was mistaken for the submerged
vessel by the grapplers was one from
the battleship Oregon. Gray paint
scratched from this anchor helped to
deceive the relief workers into believ-
ing that the hooks had caught on the
submarine.
They are confident that they now
have located the F-4. Portions of the
superstructure have been brought 10
the surface.
The dredge California will shift
moorings, tugs will crisscross in all
directions and an attempt will be
made to lift the submarine.

Inquisitiveness is not generally re-

this point is told by John ]. Arnold.
vice-president of the First National
bank of Chicago. In talk to en-
ployees of the members of the Chi
cago Association of Commerce he re
lated the experience of young man
he had known as boy in wholesale
house in Chicago, where the latter
started his career as helper to
salesman
He got hold of certain classes of
goods" Mr.. Arnold said. The names
appealed to him. He set to work and
studied the history of that particular
fabric. He got the name of the fac
tory He wrote to the factory in Eng
land and asked for particulars as to
the institution. He studied that in
stitution from one end to the other
and he studied all of the fabrics, all
of the different things that went to
make up that particular piece OF
goods. and in that way he analyZed
every piece of goods that came into
his hands. He was not satisfied mere
ly to take the goods and hand them
out, but he wanted to know what he
was handing out. The result is, to-
day he is one of the most expert buy
ers in this city, in one of the greatest
wholesale houses. Those are the
things that count. Get down to

Plan to Use Artillery.

Plan to use RrtiileTy.
Brownsville, Tex, March 29.-Grave
apprehensions were aroused among Of
ficials here by the report that Villa
officers have decided the defenses OF
Matamoros, opposite here, must be re-
duced, presumably by artillery. The
people of Brownsville are greatly ex-
cited. The possibility of artillery
shells falling in Brownsville was indi'
Gated by the wounding of two persons
in the residence section here by stray
rifle bullets which rained on part OF
the town during the first assault on
Matamoros trenches.
The assault was costly failure OF
the Villa forces. in which their losses
were officially given as 100 killed and
400 wounded.
The Carranza losses were ten killed
and forty-five wounded.
Upon orders from Washington, Col.

der patrol here, stopped the bringing

BEET CONTRACT FOR 1916
American Beet Sugar Company An
nounces Contract for the Coming
Year. A Substantial Raise

According to the Las Animas Lead
err the contract under which the grow
ers will grow beets for 1916 in the
American Beet Sugar company terri
tory will be what is known as a slid
ing scale" contract, opposed to the
fiat rate contract that has been signed
for the past few years. The contract
this season will be on the same basis
as granted to the growers the past
two seasons after the price of sugar
had settled to a point where the in
crease justified. Instead of the old
fiat rate price of $500 per ton for
beets testing above ~ per cent and
under l6 per cent and $3.50 above 16
per cent, the new contract will pro-
vide $500 for IL and under IL per
cent; $525 for beets from 1412 to 15
per cent; $3.50 for beets over is and
under 15la per cent; and then on up
the scale at the rate of rs cents adj
vance for each per cent.
This new contract means many
thousands of dollars to the growers in
the aggregate. To the individual
grower, who grows beets scientifically
and whose ground is properly cared
for and properly fortified an oppor-
tunity is given to reap the reward of
his efforts toward growing beets with
the sugar content high. With the gen
eral average of Las Animas district
running above 1917 per cent of sugar
this season, that would mean equal
to fiat price of S5.625 per ton. It
means under this shifting scale that
the company will be paying go cents
per ton, on the average, above the
scale paid one year ago. To this
community with some 5000 acres of
beets in the ground next season, not
far from $4,000 increase. And we
all know that $4,000 will pay many
water assessments and considerable
interest and will buy several auto
mobiles.
Then again we know this, that if
the future price of the refined pro-
duct from the factories will justify,
the American company stands ready
to do what is right and proper to-
wards its growers. They have proven
this during the past two years and
we all feel that, should the justifica-
ton arise another year, they will
rise to the occasion and give us what
is right.
The signing of contracts will start
after the opening of the year. 1t is
confidently expected that the largest
acreage of beets ever signed in the
Arkansas valley will be for the year
1916.
The contract in detail, as to price
will be as follows:

AUSTRIAN CONSUL TO BE SUBJECTED TO A
 RIGID INVESTIGATION
Conference With Dr. GOricar Leads to Announcement by State
 Department

Washington, November l9.-Further investigation of the activities of Aus trian Consul General Von Nuber and his associates will be made by the de- partment of justice as result of yes- tween A. Bruce Bielaski, chief of the bureau of Investigations, and Dr. Joseph Goricar, former Austrian con sul. A department statement announce ing this tonight also said that infor- nation had been obtained which prob- ably would lead to further indictments TOT passport frauds.
 Dr. Goricar recently charged that the Austro-Hungarian consul service in this country, under direction of Con- sul General von Nuber and Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, carried on propaganda for fomenting strikes in munitions plants
 Formal denials of all these allega- tions was made to the state depart ment several days ago by the Austro- Hungarian embassy. and this was fol- lowed today by dispatch from Baron 'Burian, Austrian foreign minister, au- thorizing Baron Zwiedniek, in charge of the embassy, to make "cate gorical and official denial of these inventions.'
 No intimation was given at the de- partment of justice tonight as to the form it's investigations now will take. or concerning the nature of any ac tion that may follow when all infor- nation Is in hand. Developments so far have been submitted, to the state department. but the view there is said to be that alleged violations of law by consular officers are matters to be dealt with by the legal branch of the government, as these officers do not enjoy immunities accorded diplomatic representatives of a foreign nation.

STORM STRIKES
 ATLANTIC COAST

Atlanta. Ga., November 19--A rain and windstorm suddenly struck the South At lantic coast from middle Florida to Charleston, S. C., late today, demoraliz- ing wire communication and doing other damage, according to fragmentary re- rorts received here tonight. From the best information obtainable it appeared that the storm struck Florida below Jack sonville and moved toward the coast. It was unofficially reported that the wind reached velocity of 60 miles an hour at Charleston.
 Wire communication with Tampa first was cut off. Jacksonville next was iso- lated and then wire communication with one town after another was lost The storm lasted only a short time, and to- night communication with larger cities in the storm area had been partially restored.
 The Norwegian bark Killena was driven ashore near Brunswick, Ga., and it was feared she might be battered to pieces. The crew had ample time to get off the boat, but the captain, c. Steen, still was aboard tonight. The I<illena carried 5000 barrels of rosin for Norwegian ports.
