TORPEDOED WHEN
STOKERS MUTINY
British Steamers Crew Towed
by Germans Until Rescue
Ship Appears.


London. March 26.-The captain OF
the British steamer Delmira, torpedoed
to-day of Boulogne, In the English
Channel, reports that he probably
would have escaped the submarine II
hi, Chinese stokers had not mutinied'
The Delmira was torpedoed after ten
minutes' notice to the crew to take TO
the boats.
The Delmira did not sink, howe' r,
according to reports received at Lioyds'
These dispatches say that the steamer
had a bad fire on board and went
ashore at ST. Vast de la Hogue,
France.
Three revolver shots were fired from
the submarine as a signal for the Del
mira to heave TO. The skipper ordered
full steam ahead, but the stokers, all
Cinnamon. refused to remain below and
feed the furnaces.
The submarine therefore was able TO
overhaul the steamer. After torpedo
ing the Demira the submarine towed
hes boats for an hour and a half until
another ship was sighted, when the
tow lines were cast off and the under
water boat disappeared. The men were
landed subsequently on the Isle Of
Wight.
The Delmira was Liverpool steamer
Of 2,O11 tons net. She was engaged in
the transatlantic trade and arrived at
Havre from st. Johns, N. b., on March
Il. She was built in 1905 and was
under command Of Captain Lovelace.

Clamor for Death Sentence
on Wealthy Men Now
in Jail.
STARVING STAND
ALL NIGHT IN LINE
Women Begin Street Vigil at
9P. Nj. for Sale Of Bread
at 8 a. NJ.

London, March 26.-"The Morning
Post" publishes letter written IN
Budapest on March 10. The letter is
in part as follows:
"Army contract frauds may be COM
mon 70 all belligerent countries, but
what we have had TO put up with IN
Hungary in this regard beats all pre-
vious achievements. First OF all a
scandal began at Szeged, where nine OF
the most prominent wholesale Gealers
of the city were arrested for bribing a
first lieutenant and another officer, who
made il possible for them to supply the
army with inferior foodstufs at high
prices.
"These men had been under lock and
kew only a few days when IT was round
out that a number OF shoe manuiaet-
urers. who were army contractors lot
making half a million pairs, had fur
ni.hed paper soles on the whole con-
,Ignment. The soldiers wore the shoes
IN dry weather ten days, in wet weather
two days, before the sOles simply melt
ed away from the top part. A dozen
other wealthy and influential manu-
facturers were arrested, this time IN
Budapest.
One Hundred Crooks Caught.
"Two DAYS later still more exten-
sive fraud was discovered. and TINS
time the number of criminals concerned
exceeded a hundred, among them ON
GERS and members of the municipal leg
islativo body, as well as rich and inhu-
ential manufacturers who drove up 10
the police station in their private cars.
These people were army contractors Tor
Khaki. They bribcd some of the oilcers
in charge Of the stores and delivered
dved ladies' material of khaki color, OF
thin and inferior qualities worth 20
cents a yard, instead Of So to $3.50 a
yard
This scandal was going on for months
and the men in the Carpathians were
freezing in the light ladies khaki" In
two weeks time it hung in rags on
them, and then at last the military
authorities began 10 make inquiries.
The cells at Police Headquarters are
now filled with these men OF wealth
and position, so that the ordinary daily
criminal gang has had TO be install
elsewhere TO make room Tor tnem'
There are some among them VINO nave
made more than 100000 on the 1raud
and the sum involved exceeds SlO,OOO'-
600. The papers are funous ana the
people are .rging the authorities 70
pass sentence of death on the criminals.
In Freezing Cold All Night.
In Budapest conditions are growing
worse, and now one can see poor women
by hundreds standing in queues before
the bakeries and groceries at y p. m 10
get a pound Of floor or a loaf Of bread
st O'clock in the morning. To see
these weak. sick looking, wretched .peo-
ple freeze all night in the street for a
loaf of bread in the morning, for which
they will have to pay an eXorbltant
price, makes ones heart almost stop
beating.
To behold those women is more than
would advise a weak hearted man to
do. There Is no drama that could pro-
duce such an effect on an onlooker as
these silent, suffering mothers all. All
] will say is this, that since have been
man | have cried only twice-once

WILHELMINA CARGO
OWNERS FESTIVE
Will See Ambassador Page with
View to Expediting Prize
Court Hearing.

Washington, March 26.-As a result
Of several conferences to-day between
Charles F. Towne. counsel for the own
ers of the food cargo of the American
steamship Wilhelmina, now held for the
decision of a British prize court, and
officials of the British Embassy and the
State DEPARTMENT, it has been arranged
that English solicitors representing the
cargo owners shall confer tomorrow IN
London with Ambassador Page and SUB
NIT proposition for the advancement
Of the prize court proceedings.
Ambassador Page ls expected TO
transmit the plan to the state Depart,
ment, and If it meets with approval
there the British government VIII De
requested to accept 1t.
London. March 26-The Solicitor OF
the Treasury to-day sent letter 10
the attorneys of the American steamer
Wilhelmina, saying that, because OF
complaints concerning delay IN the
hearing of the case of this vessel DC,
fore prize court. application would
he made TO the prize court TO unload
the cargo of the steamer and sell such
mart of il as was deteriorating.
Arthur G.. Hayes. the American law
yer representing the cargo owners, on
hearing that the Crown would ask tor
court order directing the sale OF the
parts of the cargo which were ,- de-
teriorating, expressed the opinion thai 5{
the proposal was unfair and announced
that he would oppose the application.
He saws his clients wish to establsh
their right to sell that cargo in Ger, eIy
many. whittier it was legluma'ely
shipped. and he believes that in the
prize z court he could establish a legal
right for the cargo to proceed t0,S to GeTt r.

naturally cannot be sold in Germany
and thus the high prices obtain1a6lle
there will be lost. If a portion OF the
cargo is not sold, because not in na3 danger tFep
of deterioration, but is unloaded; then

ROAD THROUGH
T|JERAS CANON

The following is from the Al
buquerque Journal:
Bernalillo county's share of
the road bond fund will be spent
in building a model highway
from Albuquerque to the Tor
rance county line, through tt
jeras canyon, and on the north
ern part Of the Canine Real, in
this county.
Col. D. K B. Sellers brought
this report from Santa Fe, where
the association of highway Of
ficials has been meeting, late
last night. He went there as
representative of the Bernalillo
county road board, neither John
S. Beaven, president, nor E. L
Grose, secretary, being able to
leave their business. Colonel
Sellers spent only one day there,
The state highway commission,
Colonel Sellers said, carefully
looked into the road needs of
every county and decided where
to expend each county's part OF
the road fund, The commission
selected the two roads named for
improvement in Bernalillo coun-
ty.
The money is to be spent TN
der supervision Of the state high
way commission, of which State
Engineer James A. French is a
member. This county's appor-
tionment amounts to $33, 600.
The stretch of the Canine Real
to be worked in this county lies
between Alameda and the Sando
val county line.
The improvement of the Ii
jeras canyon route, from the city
to the Torrance county line, will
give the people of Chilli, San
Pedro and towns in the vicinity
of these two places modern
road practically all the way to
Albuquerque. Besides this it
will open good highway to the
Estancia valley as part Of Tor
rance county's share of the fund
is to be used to improve the road
from, the Bernalillo county line
to Estancia, Colonel Sellers stat
ed. 1t was understood that Tor
rance county's representative at
the meeting approved this plan.
Some reference was made at
the meeting to the concrete roads
of California. Colonel Sellers
aroused enthusiasm by stating
that concrete roads IN New
Mexico would not be a thing of
the remote future but that the
people of Albuquerque apd Ber-
naIillo county, with the aid OF
the state highway commission,
already had taken steps to build
a paved road between the city
and the University of New Mex
leo.
