responsibility. Many officials here
are strong in the belief that the Allan

NV certain that this is the view held
in Germany where, according to
cabled reports, the admiralty says no

LAUNCH OWNED
BY A. DITTLINGER
TAKEN BY THUGS
Boat Found in SmelterviIIe
by Friend Who Notifies
Owner.
LAUNCH OWNERS TO
CAPTURE THE THIEVES
Watchmen to be Employed to
Guard River Front in
Future.

A valuable steam launch belonging
to A. Dittlinger & Son of this city, was
stolen from its mOoring near the foot
of Merriwether street, yesterday
morning. and taken down the river.
1t was discovered at about daylight
in SmeltervilIe where the thieves had
gone ashore and left the boat tied to
the bank. A resident of South Cape
recognized the craft and phOned A.
Dittlinger concerning its appearance
in that section of the city at such an
unusual time
Mr.. Dittlinger, who was still at his
home on Pacific street. could give no
information, but when an inveStiga-
ton was made by his son Al short
time later, the fact developed that the
boat had been stolen.
Al went to South Cape Immediately
and there found the boat tied securely
to the bank and in as good condition
DIS NIcH Ht Hdu lelI II Ut It's regular
anchoring place the night before.
AS matter of precautiUn, Mr. Dit
linger removes the batteries and coil
box every evening when he leaves the
boat, rendering the engine useless.
Evidently the thieves were not aware
of this practice, and when they took
the boat we've under the impression
that it was in working order. Failing
to get it under way, and realizing the
danger of being caught, they concluded
to abandon the launch before daylight
The Dittlingers are operating a
large farm in Illinois and use the boat
in carrying the hay harvesting crew
to and from their work.
A number of boat owners yesterday
entered into a cooperative arrange
ment whereby, they all Joined in meet
ing the expense OF a Waterman to see
that none of their boats are disturbed
or stolen.

Farmer Showed
In Water I ank
By Lady Clown
E. L. Redrick, Formerly of
Jackson, Asks Chief Hutson
to Arrest Troope for Duck
ing Him at Show.

E. L. Redrick, farmer of Charles
ton, formerly of Jackson, was made
the victim OF prank by a woman
clown at the water circus last night,
and when he finally emerged from the
pool of water in which she had push
ed him, he sought the Chief of Police
and demanded that the performance
be stopped and the circus arrested
Redrick was sitting near the pool
in which the performers were giving
a log rolling exhibition and the woman
clown was sitting by him. He did not
recognize her as being connected with
the show, and when she engaged him
in conversation he talked willingly.
After the log rollers had finished
and a number of clowns were playing
in the pool, the lady clown suggested
to Mr.. Redrick that they step up close
to the water and watch the per-
Torrance. He acted upon her sugges-
ton, and while standing on the brink
of the reservoir, the woman, who was
an Amazon in size and development,
showed him into eight feet of water in
the center of the pool.
When his head would appear a
clown would shove him under, and the
performance was repeated until the
unwary Redrick was exhausted. He
was then assisted to the rim of the
basin, where he sat and puffed until
he had partially recovered from the
effects of his exertion.
Tho woman. who weighed more than
200 pounds, and wore a broad black
plush hat, leaped into the pool and
thresned him with her hat when he
appeared above the surface.
Redrick was under the impression
that the water was not confined but
that it came up through the opening
direct from the river, and when he
reported the matter to Chief Hutson
he insisted that he had been thrown
into the river in an attempt to drown
him.
He was dressed in a white Palm
Beach suit, but when he emerged from
the pool and climbed out onto the floor
of the barges, he bore the appearance
of having been given printing coat
of river mud.

SENDS $4,000 TO L. S. TO
EASE CONSCIENCE
Writer of Unsigned Letter Has Paid
Double Amount He Stole and
RENTS More.

Washington, July 20-Ten thousand
dollars in currency, the second largest
contribution to the conscience fund
received by the Government, arrived
at the Treasury Department in plain
envelope, mailed yesterday at New
York, accompanied by an unsigned
letter, saying:
"The sender has paid double to the
United States the amount he stole and
still conscience is not satisfied. Here
is another payment"
The package contained three $1,000
gold certificates, eight $500 certifi-
Gates and 80 500 silver and gold
notes
Treasury officials found nothing in
the letter or the amount to indicate a
connection with any of the Govern
ments's losses by fraud or theft, so
they placed it with 100000 more
which has accumulated in the treasury
vaults from conscience-stricken folk
who have sent sums ranging from one
cent to S1S,669.
The largest sum ever received came
in 1909, probably from some one who
had committed a customs fraud. The
$4,000 package today came addressed
to Secretary McAdoo and was marked
personal"
