BLOWING UP Of
AMERICAN SHIP
RAISES A CRISIS
Loss of Cotton Steamer Evelyn
May Result in Request for
Explanation and an Action
for Damages.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Feb. 81
That a serious. but not alarming sit
nation has been created by the blow
ing up of the American cotton steam
er Evelyn off Borkum island in the
North sea. is the opinion of admins
tratiOn officials today. They waited
anXiously for details of the disaster
from Ambassador Page at London
and Ambassador Gerard at Berlin,
who were directed by Pres't Wilson
TO investigate and lepOrt promptly to
Washington. Pending the receipt of
full information it was stated. the
Washington government would pro-
coed cautiously.
The meager dispatches from Amer
lean Consul Fee at Bremen reporting
the matter, showed that the Evelyn
went down off a German island. She
probably struck a mine. 1t was con-
coded by officials that if this were
found to be the case, there would be
no ground for action by this govern
ment other than a request of Germany
for an explanation and a probable
case for damages. Legal EXP erts of
the government agree that the laying
of mines is not barred by international
agreement now IN effect. 1t was also
suggested that the Borkum is one Of
q NAANNAAi "a ATAeNiioo just oOONi VI tAAC
port Of Bremen and forms part of
the coast defenses of Germany.
The Washington government also
found ground for hope that serious
consequences could be avoided in the
fact that the Evelyn went down out
side the war zone established by
Germany and none of her crew was
lost. Much weight was placed on
the explanation of Capt. Smith Of the
Evelyn as to what course his vessel
was taking.
Members of congress took a serious
view of the matter and generally in
Dictated that il called for WatChfuIneSs
on the part Of this government to
guard against repetitiOns of such ac-
cidents.
They were inclined, however. to
place confidence in the ability of the
president and his advisers to handle
the situation.
The state department today an
nounced that pending a comprehen-
sive report from its diplomatic officers
on the sinking of the United states
steamer Evelyn. this governments re-
joinders to Great Britains and Ger
many's note on the flying OF neutral
flags and submarine warfare will be
postponed. The department has in
structed United States Consul Fee in
Bremen by cable to collect and for
ward all details as to the manner of
the Evelyn destruction.

Details Of one Of the most sensa-
tional systems" ever disclosed in the
history of the South Bend police de-
partment are promised in the trials
Monday afternoon before the board of
safety of Patrolmen Ray X. Bowman
and Arden NJ. Kline for alleged lax
tiles of duty and drinking while on
duty.
The cases arise from the action of
the police department early Saturday

claimed that Officers Kline, Bowman
and Lass were caught with several
women of i'll repute.
Evidence is said TO be in possession

Will esta blish the proof of a taXicab
system by which officers were taken
back and forth from their beats to
Bowman's home, not only on one Oc-
casiOn, but many times since Bow
mans marriage several months ago.
1t is also asserted by the safety board
that there is suspicion that resorts
have been warned Of pending raids,
and that officers have accepted money
from these places for protection"

officers arrested" Saturday is that of
being absent from their post Of duty
and drinking.
Neighbors of Bowman have COM

George Morris, a taxicab driver, who
was caught when the Bowman home
was entered, is expected to testify to
the fact that he has upon several oc-
casions carried Officers Kline and
Bowman TO the pull boxes on their
beats so that the desk sergeant at the
police station would not suspect them.
one other man besides Norris, Bow
man and Kline was said TO have been
in the place when il was entered by
the police. With them were Mrs.
Bowman and two other women.
Possibilities of BOwman's arrest up

found was a mere girl and that she
had been brought from Michigan 10

is 6 years old, according TO the po-
lice department.

home by saying that he was invest
eating" Chief Kerr claims, however,
that Lass never received orders TO
that effect. Lass signed the charges
against his brother officers. Kline

Great Britain to Warn All Neu-
trails of New ACtiOn-HOpe
All Allies Will Take Similar
Action.

LONDON. Feb. 22.-Premier AS
quith announced in the house of COM
mons this afternoon that Great Britain
would shortly issue a note to the neu-
trail powers giving notice of her in
tention to add food and raw materials
used to foster German industries upon
the list Of cOntrabandS of war. At

Certainly there will be a note from
England and L hope a joint note" said
the premier.
England Isolated.
Beset by land and sea by German
aircraft and submarines the British
isles today are more isolated than
they have ever been before. The
latest German air exploit, the drop
ping of bombs on Essex at a point
about 80 miles from London last night
has increased still higher the fears of
the people of the English capital
British warships on patrol duty in the
North sea report seeing signal lights
flashed from Zeppelins.
The activities of the German sub
marines has struck panic to the heart
Of British shipping. The sinking OF
the small Irish coasting steamer
Downshire shows that the Germans
are under orders TO destroy all British
merchant ships irrespective of size
The Downshire, which was sunk in
the Irish sea by the U-12 was a small
freighter of no Importance.
The warship patrols in the Irish sea
and in the western part OF the Engllsh
channel have been strengthened and
the utmost vigilance is being eXer-
cised. Search for submarines is even
being made out in the Atlantic, of the
west coast of Ireland.
Artillery Ready for Action.
In the important harbors, such as
FolkestOne, Dover, Liverpool and New
Castle, artillery is kept ready for ac-
ton on q moments notice as it is
feared that the German submarines
NAV try TO enter the ports and tor
pedO ships at anchor.
Army transports plying between the
British and French coasts, are more
strongly guarded than ever before.
The passenger steamers are almost
empty as no one goes upon sea trip
these days unless there is imperative
reason for it.
So far as known only one German
aeroplane took part in the Essex raid
near Colchester flying toward the
North sea coast. At Markstey some
cottages were damaged but no one
was killed. The home of family
named RedjOhn was damaged near
Colchester. Near COggeshall bomb
fell in a garden and an unexploded
bomb was reported TO have been
found near Braintree. The German
air raider escaped.

CORTEZ. Colo, teb. Z2.-Rene-
gade Piute Indians who defeated
United States deputy marshals yester-
day in a fight near Bluff, Utah, in
fight in which two Indians and a white
man were killed. are reported in a
telephone message received here early
today TO have attacked the town of
Bluff, Utah. las night.
The telephone message which came
from Monticello, Utah. said that the
small force OF deputies there was in
danger OF being annihilated by the
Indians.
Additional deputies are trying TO
reach Bluff. but at last reports they
were proceeding through a heavy sonw
storm that permitted them TO travel
only slowly.
Indian police at ship Rock agency,
New Mexico. have been summoned 10
the scene.
The white man killed was Joe
Aiken. a wealthy cattle rancher OF
Dolores. Colo. and an expert rifle
shot. AS Aiken fell the whites, who
had been trying to take the Indians
10y surprise. rolled from their ponies
into the snow and began firing when
ever an Indian showed himself. After
a few vollies had been fired, l. :.
Marshal Aquila Nebeker sent Mancos
Jim, "A (. .mer Indian outlaw. 10 par
lev with rse-Na-Gat. leader of the
outlaws The parley lasted some time
and then Mancos Jim returned with
this message:
I'VE Will fight until we are all
killed"
Marshal Nebeker said that one Of
the Indians who fell was dressed like
squaw and seemed 10 be a woman.
This led TO the belief that Indian
men and women were fighting side by
side. All are armed with modern
Winchester rifles.
Use Na-Gat has been on the warpath
since last October when he defied the
federal authorities after being indict-
ed for the murder OF a Mexican.
