Having the nuptial knot tied out

when James asked for a leave of alb.

slip out of town on Rock Island
train. But the demonstration took
place. for all of the well laid plans.
Mr.. and Mrs. Donnelly were given a
reception upon arrival that they will

back was different When the ar.

made certain by pickets, the police

Mr.. and mrs. DonneIly were placed
in the vehicle in charge of an officer,

were brought face to face with
charge of malice aforethought and re.
ligious intent, and aiding and abet
ting a conspiracy. Plea of any kind
would not be accepted Husband
and wifp wpra canaratod and Mr.
Donnelly was treated as a desperate
character, handcuffed and locked in
a cell in the city jail. Bail was re-
fused. In the meanwhile the bride
was well cared for and it is not
whit to her discredit that she rather
enjoyed the predicament of the
groom. He was freed by a friend
who managed to get the KEYS after
James had been in Jail about twenty
minutes,-seemed like twenty hours
He was led to believe that Mrs. Don
nelly had been taken to the county
Jail for safe keeping and he immedi

he would believe the assertion that
she was not there. Next came Gig

OFFICIALS AWAIT
COMPLETE REPORTS
BEFORE DECIDING
Settled Policy Of Administra-
lion Is To Move
Slowly
BERLIN HAS PROMISED
To MAKE FULL REPORT
Officers Of Hesperian Make
Joint Affidavit As To
Facts
By Charles P. Stewart.

Washington, Sept. AS in similar
eases in the past, the administration to-
day kept an open mind on the destruc-
ton of the Allan liner nesperian. II
awaited full reports before in any way
deciding its course of action.
From Germany the administration
had intimations that as soon as Foreign
Secretary Won Jagow is advised of the
facts in the Hesperian cease he will
make complete report to the United
States. Ambassador Page at London is
making an independent investigation to
determine, if possible, whether the big
liner was victim Of German torpedo,
or whether she fouled a floating mine
off the usual course Of the under-sea
boats, and particularly, whether the
Hesperian could be classed as an armed
vessel.
His report, and statement from the
British admiralty, as to facts in its
possession is anticipated at an early
moment.
There was increasing doubt here tha'
the vessel had been torpedoed. In fact
many in official quarters, believed thu
Hesperian struck mine, particularly
in view Of the fact that her position
was somewhat out of the submarines
course.
Unofficial intimations said Germany
might pursue the same course as will
the Arabic-repudiate an unwarned at
tack, if it proved that the vessel haC
been Summarized.
That she might plead the submarin,
commander exceeded his instructions
or left his base before orders agains
unwarned attacks were issued was con
sidered a possibility,
At any rate there was no indication
that this government intends to asl
GeMany to make an explanation of tn
affair before all facts are in American
possession.

Affidavit of Officers.

Washington, Sept. Consul Frost at
Queenstown cabled this afternoon to
the state department that officers of
the liner Hesperian had made joint
affidavit, declaring the vessel was tor
pedoed without warning. Fragments of
steel cast up on the deck, removed
doubts as to the possibility that the
vessel had been mined, according to the
officers.
The state department requested that
the joint affidavit Of the captain and
three officers be forwarded here.
This statement, Frost said, declared
that from the odor Of explosives, and
from the shower of steel fragments cit
is indubitable that the vessel was tor
pedoed and not mined.'
There was no warning, the track Of
the torpedo WIS not seen, nor was sub
marine sighted before or after the ex.
plosion, the officers swore.
Regarding the six inch gun on the
Hesperian y stern, the affidavit de-
clared that this was inconspicuous and
invisible to a submarine OF night.
Only one American, Francis Dallas
Of Buffalo, N. Y, was aboard the liner,

New York, Sept 7.-England S navy
has changed its method of protecting
Great Britain, and blockading Ger
many, since the early days of the war.
This accounts not only for the fact that
submarines have been unable to tor
pedo England S warshipS but also for
Germany's abandonment of raids along
Albion S coast.
A year ago drcadnaughts were kept,
secretly guarded, in unannounced har-
bors of the west coast and Ireland, on
the theory that the nation must pro
tect its dreadneughts at all costs. Al
that time England did not know what
plans Germany had for whiting down
the English fleet Cruisers and pre-
dreadnaughts were constantly in the
North sea, awaiting tho German battle
fleet.
