To PUNISH
CREWS Of
SUBMARINES
MURDER CHARGE WILL BE
MADE AGAINST DESTROY
ERS BY BRITISH

London, March TO- The admiralty
ANNOUNCES that 1t is not justified in
,extending honors to- the captured
crews of German submarine boats,
owing to their methods, and that 1t Is
intended to segregate them under
special restrictions, pending their
possible conviction at the conclusion
of peace.
The admiralty states that this rul-
ing applies to the twenty-nine officers
and men of the German submarine
US, which sank recently Off Dover.
The policy to be adopted toward the
crews of German submarines is IN
answer to the demand of Admiral
Lord Charles Beresford, retired, and
|others that such men be tried for
murder and the admiralty statement
indicates that the government has this
III mind. The statement refers to the
5Niiti vuo tiNothltHl dItOlucu GeIIldH
Officers and men saved, numbering
upward of 1000, and then says with
reference to the U.s.
This vessel had been operating in
the straits OF Dover, and in the Eng
lish channel and there is a strong
probability that she had been guilty
OF attacking and sinking unarmed
merchantmen and firing torpedoes at
ships carrying non-combatants, neu-
trails and women. In particular the
steamer Oriole is missing and there is
grave reason to fear that she has been
sunk with all hands-twenty
There is of course. great difficulty
in bringing home particular crimes to
any individual German submarine and
it may be that the evidence necessary
TO establish conviction will not be OBJ |
tanned until after the conclusion of
peace. Meantime, persons against
whom such charges are pending must
le subject to a special restriction and
;an not be accorded the distinction of
heir rank or be allowed to mingle

WILSON WON'T
FIGHT SENATE
PRESIDENT DECIDES NOT TO
NAME REJECTED MEN 10
SERVE DURING RECESS.

Washington, March II. President
wilson 1t became known today, had
decided not to give recess appoint
ments to number of persons whose
nominations for federal offices wore
rejected by the senate during the last
session. His decision, however does
not apply to nominations which the
senate merely failed to act upon. and
in most Of these cases rcs scss appc.nt-
ments will be made in the near fu-
ture.
Those whose nominations were re-
jected and in whose places others
probably will be chosen soon include:
John Il. Lynn. United States attor-
ney for the western district OF New
York; W. n. Collins, postmaster al
Kansas City Mo; Mrs. Marjorie J
Bloom. postmistress at Devils Lake.
y. D.; Ewing G. Bland United States
Tor the western district Of
Missouri; "A. II. Buie, postmaster at
Ennis, Texas, and George Hampton,
collector Of internal revenue for The
irst district of New Jersey
The president has written letter
Q at least one of these appointeessl
aging that, while he might have the
egal right to give recess appoint
nents to men whose nominations
ave been rejected by the senate he
links that such action would not be
accordance with the spirit Of the
lw.
Most Of the rejected nomination
ere included in the group over which
here were long disputes in the SEN
te and which caused reports to go
ut of serious differences between
ne president and senators.

for awhile representatives Wright

advantage of parliamentary points,
succeeded in holding off the roll call
until the sergeant-at- arms could run
in the absent members, and the bill
Vas passed finally by vote of 5S to
81.
The house went on record against
the exclusive use of Oklahoma stone
in the state capitol last evening when
a home material amendment to the
administration capitol commission bill'
was lost by vote of "A to 80. Am
endments seeking to perpetuate the
capitol mission instead of ending
it's duties when the contract for com
pletion of the building is let were
likewise voted down. The bill. which
has already passed the senate, was
almost perfected in committee of the
whole, but it is understood that Okla
