SUSPECT AS CR0NES

S~palding, Neb., Nov. 25.-The man
arrested here Wednesday by Marshal
Byrnes in the belief that he was Jean
Crones, alleged Chicago poisoner, was
released last night on account Of the
failure of a Chicago detective, the
steward OF the University club of Chi

city to identify him. The suspect, who
today gave his name as Charles Luce
Gus, bears many marks of resemblance
to Crones, according to Steward Bril-

ally worked on a farm since coming to
this country. He declared he knew
nothing of the Chicago poisoning. The
Chicago police officer and the party
accompanying him left for home to-

RUMORED GERMANY
PLANS NEW RAIDS
Washington Greatly Exercised
BY Reports of Plan to Re-
sumo Submarine 0per-
atiOnS Soon.

Washington, D. c.. Nov. IA new
phase Of the many. rumors that Ger
many plans intensified submarine ac-
tivity gained currency here today. 1t is
to the effect that Germany is building
a big fleet Of submarines to operate in
western Atlantic waters and hat the
trip Of the U-35 vas in the nature Of q
test or scouting expedition.
The report has it that the base of
operations will be on the Yucatan coast,
where 1t is said the Germans have had
soundings and investigation made.
Officials here insist these rumors of
new complications in the submarine
sitaution are unwarranted All that is
definitely known is that the state de-
partment Is apprehensive, but what it
bases this on is not disclosed, and Sec
rotary Lansing has declared he be-
lieved the rumors of trouble were being
fostered in this country.
The report concerning Germany's
construction of q new submarine fleet
comes from an unofficial quarter well
informed in international affairs.
1t is pointed out that England recent
~ gave warning that 1t would not toll
crate use of Mexican waters as a base
for German submarine operations, both
England n Japan through secret
sources are said to have gained infor-
nation of Germany's purpose.

NAVAL LAUNCH IS
SUNK; FOUR DEAD
Sailors of U. S. Supply Ship
Glacier, Thrown Into Bay
When Boat Paddles
Strike Craft.

San Francisco. Cal. Nov. 27.-Four
United States sailors met death here
today and a half a score were injured
when a launch containing 35 men Of the
supply ship Glaciers crew was swept
under the baddle blades of the stern
wheel river steamer Apache.
The dead:
r. f.. WILEY,
GROVER CAMPBELL.
w. L. DANIEL, all seamen, carried
down in the launch.
WILLIAM HEIBERGER, chief ma
chinist's mate, Glen Ellen, Cal, inter
nally hurt, but died of submersion.
The relatives Of all were notified by
the nevy department. Wiley's mother,
Mrs. Rita Wiley, lives at Mckinney,
Tex. Campbell's mother, Mrs. Nancy
Campbell, lives at Middlesboro, KY;
Daniels father, Dave Daniels, lives at
Franklin, Tex, m Heiberger has a
sister, Mrs. Louis Schneider, at Arvada,
oClo. A pulmotor crew from h city
fire department worked over Heiberger
for two hours with no success. He was
picked up half a mile from shore, too
much exhausted to resuperate.
A fleet of small boats rushed to the
scene and began picking up men. The
United States cruiser South Dakota, at
anchor on Man O War row., a mile
away, rushed her launches to the res
cue and picked up the first body.
One man, Fred Wright, was taken to
the harbor emergency hospital. All
the others went to the Glacier.
The accident occurred almost in the
path of the Trans-Bay ferry boats
bringing thousands Of commuters to
San Francisco from Oakland, Berkeley
and Alameda. These were first aware
Of it when a little cloud of seagoing
tugs and launches scattered from the
piers allotted to various towing com
panies and clustered around the
Apache. To the fact that these craft
were so neal at and was attributed
the remarkably small loss Of life, as
contrasted with an upset in New York
harbor some years ago.
The launch, in charge of Bob Rob-
erts. CoXswain, put ont from the city
between piers IA and 16. At pier IA
lay naval water barge No. rs. At pier
l6 was the Apache. just docking. The
space between was, small, but Roberts
considered II ample and headed the
launch midway between the two big
boats.
AS the launch ran out from the pro-
tecting piers the tide caught it and
swept it against the stern Of the river
steamer.
The Apache's wheel was reversed,
and revolving slowly. Before Roberts
could twist his wheel the launch was
directly under the great steel blades.
The man officially in charge of the
launch was Boatswain +. G.. Nigg
Lieut.. Frank r. Freyer is in command
of the Glacier.
