GERS recall that the naval regulations
permit a warship to fly another flag
than It's own but specifically provides
1t must be hauled down and the ships
own flag hoisted before a shot is fred.
There are many incidents in naval
history where that has been done, the
latest being the German sea rover

raid at Penang.
Experts In naval procedure recall
no case however where a merchant

opinion the flying of the American flag
by the Lusitan!a was an improper use
OF the flag" Senator Stone added
that 1t would be possible for congress
to. adopt resolution protecting this
against another incident but he
thought It matter to be handled by
the executive branch of the Govern

Make Getaway.

Alarmed over the yigor with which
the county authorities are conducting
the prosecution OF members Of an al.

to be responsible for the murder Of
two men in Kilarm last Christmas
Eve, 25 Italians fed from Elkins late
Saturday afternoon eastward on the

with the murder.
Tho Italians who fed from, Elkins
displayed remarkable cleyerness IN
covering up their. trail by purchasing
mileage books instead of regular tick,

the; flight was directed by an expert.

a determined effort is being made BY
the alleged society to prevent the CON.
yiction of the men responsible for the
murders.
Amaratti with his family and ths
other Italian fugitives had left Elkins
before the arrival OF Constable Riggs.
There was great excitement in Elkins
when it was 1earned fhat tho Itn,ian,
had fed, and with the assistance OF
the Elklns police and other citizens a
vigorous but unayailing search was
conducted for the fugitiyes.
When the officers learned that the
25 men had boarded the train at the
same time, the ticket agent was cues.
TONED as to the places to which they
had bought tickets. ALI the fugitiyes,
however, had purchased mileage
books, and the ticket agent was un.
able to help the officers continue the
