BRITONS LOSE A SUBJ.

London, Aug. 21.--The story Cr
the sinking Of the British submariI
E-l3, whose loss was made known 4
a brief statement yesterday, was told
in an announcement from the admi-
rally as follows:
"A report has been received from
Lieut. Commander Layton, command
ing the E-13, whose grounding on
the Danish island OF Saltholm was
published yesterday. The lieutenant
commander reports that the subma-
rine grounded in the early morning
Of August 10. All efforts to refloat
her failed.
AT ) o'clock a Danish torpedo
boat appeared on the scene and in
formed the E13 that she would be
allowed "a hours to get off, AT the
same time a German torpedo boat ar
rived and remained close TO the sub
marine until two more Danish tor
pedo boats came up, when she with
drew.
AT 8 o'clock, while the three Dan
ish torpedo boats were anchored close
to the submarine, two German tor
pedo boats appeared from the south.
When about half mile away one Of
these hoi5ted commercial flag sig

Ger Of the E-13 had time to read it,
| the Germans directed a torpedo at
her from a distance of about 100
yards. The torpedo exploded on hit
| ting the bottom close to her.
"At the same moment the German
destroyer fired with all her guns, and
Lieut.. Commander Layton, seeing
that his submarine was on fire, fore
and aft and unable to defend herself,
owing to her being aground, gave or
ders for the. crew to abandon her.
While the men were, in the waterthey

"Ore of the Dutch torpedo boats
Immediately lowered her boats and
steamed between the submarine and
the German destroyers, who, there
fore, had to cease firing and with
draw.
Denmark is Aroused.
Copenhagen, Aug. 21.-Destruc-
| ton of the British submarine E-13 in
Danish territory by German destroy
ers, under circumstances which
| placed the shipwrecked craft under
Danish protection, has aroused wide
spread Indignation. Danish newspa-
pers urge that there can be no expla-
nation or plausible excuse for the
deliberate violation Of Danish terri
| tory, as German torpedo boat had
thoroughly Investigated the locality
before returning with the others to
attack the defenseless crew. The
Vortland says:
There can be no question that the
| German commander was aware he
was violating Danish neutrality"
The Journal Hovesdestayen pub
fishes a rumor that one Danish tor
pedo boat had man wounded and
its wireless damaged by German
shells.
The entire press commends the
governments action in promptly pro-
testing to Berlin, and assures the
! government it will receive the sup
port of the whole nation in whatever
action is taken.

PLAN RESTRICTION FOR BUILDINGS OF
 WOOD IN THIS CITY
City Officials and Housing Ex- ports Hold Conference
 On Problem.

At a, conference to consider housing conditions, City Attorney William H. Com1ey, IT,, last night was instructed to draft an ordinance to regulate the building of three decker and tene- ment houses The conference was held in the common council chanabe ber and included representatives of a number of organizations interested.
 Building Commissioner Charles H. Botsford told the gathering that there should be better fire protection in the wooden tenement houses Iand said in his opinion this type of houses has 8 tendency to decrease the value of property adjoining residential houses. He cited a case where a man was arranging a loan on his property but the bank reduced the loan $500 when it was found that three decker tene- 1nent houses were to be built on the opposite side of the street.
 Leet B. Myers of the Good Housing association read an article from an insurance journal in which attentio on was called to the need of more strict building code here in order to lessen the fire risk. MT. Myers favor ed building brick houses in the fu- ture instead Of giving permits for wooden structures. He said in Chi cago the district where wooden fiat houses had been built for working people in former years is now the slunns.
 Attorney David s. Day, also favored building houses of brick instead of

Washington, June 24-Announce- ment was made at the White House last evening that Robert Lansing of Watertown. N. Y, had been appoint ed Secretary of State. The announce nent was contained in this state nent:
 The President before leaving this evening for a brief rest in New Hamp- shire announced that he had offered ert Lansing, the present counselor of the Department of State, and that MT. Lansing had accepted the appoint nnent-
 MT. Bryan's resignation was tender ed formally to President Wilson on June 8, and took effect on the follow ing day, just two weeks ago. Since then MT. Lansing has exercised the duties of Secretary of, State ad inter i'm, under the designation of the President. With his new appoint ment he will vacate thee post of coun- selor of the State Department. Who will be chosen for this place, which has become of great importance, has not been disclosed.
 Gone Johnson of Texas, the present Solicitor of the State Department, and Chandler Anderson of the. District of Columb blaL, who has been helping MT. Lansing in determining the course of
  ttons that have arisen on account of the war in Europe, are mentioned in connection with filling the vacancy. MT Johnson is a personal friend of ez-Secretary Bryan, and was MT. Bryan's personal selection for the so- lieitorship- MT. Anderson has Hbeen counselor of the department, and has made 3, reputation as an authority on | international law.
 The appointment of MT. Lansing to the Cabinet was no surprise. From the day that MT. Bryan resigned he had been regarded as having the best chance of all those mentioned for the portfolio.
 MT. Lansing had come to be look ed upon not only as an authority in matters affecting the laws and prac- tices of nations, but had shown him self to be a man of courage and inf- tiative The President and the members of the Cabinet have form ed a high opinion of his abilities.
 The President is understood to have abandoned early in his consid- eration of the problem of choosing a Secretary of State the suggestion that the office should go to man of great prominence in the Democratic Party. This course, it was pointed out, would be in accordance with pra ctice. While the names of Rich ard Olney of Massachusetts, who was Secretary of State in the second Ad- n11nistratfon of President Cleveland, and John Bassett Moore of New York, who was Counselor of the State Department for the first year of the Wilson Administration, were brought forward it was apparent very soon after the retirement of MT. Bryan that MT. Wilson would conf1ne his selection to some man connected with the Government.
 The choice narrowed down to Mir Lansing, Lind1ey M. Garrison, the Secretary of War, and Franklin K. Lane, the Secretary of the Interior
 The only objection to the appoint ment of either MT. Garrison or MT. Lane was that each had done so we'll in his own executive department that ! it would be a mistake to transfer him. An army officer expressed the high opinion held for MT. Garrison's abilities when he said that it would
