U. S. TO PUSH INQUIRY.

Will Determine Blame Fo, Loss of
Two American Ships.
Washington Feb. "a. Following
closely upon the heels of the news of
the loss of the American steamship
Evelyn, sung by a German mine at
Borkum island, came the report of the
destruction of the American steamship
Carib from a similar cause off the Ger
man coast.
To add to the administrations con-
cern. the British admiralty has an
nounced that the hign seas between
Ireland and England and Scotland
have been restricted from naviga-
tion after today.
U. S. Action Already Taken.
In order to protect American ship
ping from further disaster, the United
States already:
Had proposed to Germany solution
of the questions which had arisen in
connection with the Berlin war zone"
decree.
Had decided to protest both to Ger
many and Great Britain aga inst the
laying OF mines in the high seas or the
use Of mines, which upon detachment
from their moorings. continued as n
menace to navigation.
So far as the Carib is concerned. the
course to be pursued will be Identical
with that observed in connection with
the Evelyn.
For Inquiry Into Sinking.
Ambassador Gerard and Commander
Gherardi, his naval attache. will be
directed to learn the exact loca ton Of
the vessel when she struck and If pos
sibie the nationality of the mine.
Instructions will be given to Anha g
sudor Page In London and Minister
Van Dyke in Holland to report any
facts they may be able 20 gathe-.
Whether the government has car
ried out the original intention to in
sist that Germany stand by the terms
of the treaties in 1855 and 1899 with
Prussia is not known. 1t has been
argued that as the treaties were made
with Prussia they do not apply to
the German empire. But diplomats
point out that Prussia Is part of the
German empire and that the king of
Prussia Is emperor Of Germany. More
over, the German government year
ago insisted the treaties were in full
force and effect.

CARTER HARRISON
LOSES IN PRIMARY
Defeated For Democratic Nominat'o"
For Mayor Of chicago-Women Aid
ed in Retiring Longtime Official to
Private Life-RepubIican Vote Close.

Chicago, Feb 24--Carter Fl. Har-
rison, who is finishing his fifth term
as mayor of Chicago. was defeated for
the democratic denomination In the
primary election on Tuesday by Robert
NJ. Sweitzer, present clerk of COOK
county by plurality OF more than
$4,000. Altho Harrison was pro-
nounced advocate of woman suffrage
and he was aided in the campaign by
his wife, Edith ogden Harrison, we'll
known locally as a writer, the woman
vote contributed largely to his de-
feat. A count of 1854 out of 1866 pre-
cincts in the city gave Sweitzer wo-
mans plurality of 16.829 votes. Sweit-
zer a plurality of 45,S47 male votes
from these precincts, having 146,4O1
votes against Harrison's 1925.
The fight for the republican nomi-
nation was SO close that 1t is likely that
the official count will be needed to give
the result. Harry E. Olson, chief JUS
tice of the municipal court and William
Hale Thompson were within 300 votes
Of each other when 1000 precincts had
been counted. Thompson was receiv-
ing a good ma jorty of the mems re-
publican votes while Judge Olson. who
has been helped by progressive ward
workers had an advantage of 5000
womens votes. This gave him slight
total lead.
More than score of arrests were
made a, the polls during the day.
workers being locked up for activities
near the polling places. A dozen or so
fights We're reported and police patrols
were on the jump all day answering
riot calls. Eightyear-old Agnes Scan
lon was shot in the foot when po-
liceman in the third ward fired two
shots into crowd of political workers
who had attacked him.
Politicians Tuesday night discussed
the possibility of Harrison running as
an independent candidate. This. it
is said, would probably mean the elec-
ton Of the republican nominee.
