Two Other Vessels Reported Sinking and Three Are Seriously Damaged, Says Admiralty Report
GERMAN UNDERSEA WARFARE RESUMED
 ON BROADER SCALE
Three Vessels Torpedoed Off the Scilly Islands, Three in English and One in Irish Channel

London, March 13.--Q0:35 D. m.) The admiralty announced tonight that the British collier Invergyle was tor pedoed today off Cresswell, England, and sunk. All the crew were saved.
 The admiralty announcement says that since March 10 seven British n,-r- chant steamers had been torpedoed by submarines. Two of these, it is stated. were sunk and of two others 1t fs said that "the sinking Is not confIrmed." Three were not sunk.
 The two steamers officially report cd sunk are the InvergyIe and the In- dian City, which was torpedoed off The scHiy Islands on March IF. The crew of the Indian City was reported rcs- cucd.

OLD DISCREPANCY
 IN DRUG BUREAU
 BROUGHT ID LIGHT
Report Filed With O'Neal Showed Money Illegally Spent in 1912-Matter
 Was Adjusted
By l.. s. BETTY

Montgomery, March 13.-(Spccial.) sand dolIars existed in the books nnd accounts of the pure food and drug bureau of the agricultural department, even prior to the period covered by the investigations of Special Examiner J. II. Craig, Is shown by . report filed with Governor O'NeaI by former Ex- sminer Frank V. Evans on the books of that department for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1912.
 Examiner Evans charged back to the department for that year $7614.46, which was illegally paid out for salaries of samplers and clerks. This discrepancy was charged back to the department on the advice of the attorney general The matter was adjusted later, however, through the board of compromise
 Regarding the number of stamps in the office of the pure food clerk, Examiner Evans said that the manner of providing these stamps to the chief clerk renders 1t impossible to check against him. He G1afSeQ the uepdTlflcul WILL A lOtdl Ol 2,029,112 stamps, held by the office on September 30, 1912.
 T would recommend the importance of having said stamps obtained through the auditors office, as is done in the matter of fertilizer tags" said Examiner Evans. This would save to the clerk of the pure food and drug department the responsibility of error m accounting for the number of tags received, and would make possible checking system.'
 The investigation of Special Examiner Craig, according to his first report filed with the Investigating committee, cov- cred the last two years, hence the dis- crepancy of $8000 found by that exam iner may not have resulted from the employment of special clerks and sam- piers, as was in the case in the report filed by Captain Evans
 The contents of Examiner Craig's re- port have not yet been made public, but it is understood that he found errors in the books of MT. Billingsley, pure food clerk, amounting to more than 5000. That these errors were the result of criminal action on the part of the former official of the pure food bureau is indicated by the fact that, acting on the advice of the governor and the Investigating com mittee, Examiner Craig swore out war rant against MT. Bilingsley. who has ot yet been arrested.

CASH REGISTER CO. CASE REVERSEDBY
 COURT OF APPEALS
Patterson and Other Of- ficials Not Guilty of Vio- lating Criminal Section
 of the Trust Law

Cincinnati. March 13.--Holding that the and that neither of the other two counts should have been considered by the dis trict court which tried the case, the United States court of appeals for the Sixth circuit today overruled the decision Of the lower court. which convicted John H. Patterson and 26 other officials or former officials of the National Cash Register company of Dayton, O., of being guilty of violating the criminal section of the Sherman antitrust act and remand ed the case back to the lower court TOT q new trial.
 The first count charged conspiracy to monopolize the,cash register trade of this country, whilevkhe other two counts charged the monopoly of trade. The up- per court held that while the first count was in proper form to present to the jury yet evidence had been introduced concern ing National Cash Register competitors who had not been in existence during the three-year limit of law previous to the finding of the indictment This evil dence, the court said. should not have
 
 been allowed.
 Courts Opinion
 The court continued: We think that there was conspiracy against competitors during the years that the National Cash Register company was making It's first fight, but the evidence showing that a conspiracy did exist. only brings us to the door of the three-year period. and 1t was for us to decide whether it had entered that door,"
 In the decree the court paid tribute to the National Cash Register company. It said: 'In justice to the National com paLy and the defendants 1t should be noted that 1t was the pioneer in the cash register business and developed it. It owned the basic patents and must have acquired in a proper manner a very great number of improvement patents. In addi- ticn to this 1t had the advantage of a very great capacity in the management of it's affairs These two considerations together. without reference to any un- fair treatment of its competitors, are suf- ficient in themselves to account in large measure for the success it has attained And 1t is not unlikely that its trade was pirsted by other competitors besides the American. of Philadelphia. and the Bos- ton, against whom 1t obtained decrees of infringement and that these, as well as others in competition with it resorted to some of the tactics complained of here"
 The defendants in the National Cash Register case. who were indicted by a fed eral grand jury at Cincinnati three years ago numbered 30 men. including the pres- ident. John H. Patterson, and 29 other of- ficials or former officials and depart mental heads of the National Cash Reg ister company of Dayton. o. Twenty mine were convicted by a jury in the United States district court and 27 including President Patterson. were sentenced each to serve approximately years time in Ohio jails. The verdict Was one of the most sweeping ever given under the crim- lnal section of the sherman law. The indictment was reported to United States District Judge Howard Hoilister

 AS CLIMAX APPROACHES

While the object of the legislature in appointing a probe committee was to ascertain the manner in which the af- fairs of the state have been conducted in that out of the mistakes of the ps st kalniafy lessons might be learned. some have taken that appointment to indica te desire on the part of the prohibition majority of the legislature to embarrass, If possible. the personnel of the former administration, and to find substance in the gossip which has been freely indulged in concerning the former chief execu- tive.
 When that individual takes the stand. therefore, the state will for a moment hold its breath, his enemies hopeful that he might be trapped, his friends hopeful that out of the furnace he might walk unscathed. and the nonpartsan deeply Interested, but certain that no sensations will be developed.
