ROOM AIDED
GERMAN PR|VATEER
Cruiser May Have Directed
Operations in East Atlantic
Raid.

NEWPORT NEWS. Feb. 3.-Among
rumors brought ashore today by pas
sengers of the British liner Appam re-
gsrtinE the mysterious German sea
raider that captured her was a report
that a German naval ship. believed to
he the cruiser Room. is operating in
tho east Atlantic. and assisted the
privateer in capturing the Appam.
It was alleged that the Room was only
forty miles away. and directed the
raiders operations. A British naval
reservist on the Appam Is said to have
recognized one OF the officers who
boarded the Appam as a member Of
the Rooms crew.
ish skipper, has advised the British
embassy at Washington of the rumor
regarding the Room but said the report
was without substantial confirmation.
Captain Harrison today expressed be-
lief, however. that other German ships
were near the Appam when she was
captured by the raider, which he calls
tho PonEa.
The Room Is an armored cruiser Of
$3.50 tons with a complement of 557 men.
She is 400 feet long. 65 feet in beam.
and has a maximum draught OF d feet
She was completed in 1906. at Kiel. and
then had a speed OF twent-one knots
She carries four S.2-inch guns. ten s.
inch. fourteen A-pounders and four ma
chine guns. and has four submerged
torpedo tubes
In July. 1915, she was reported in a
Russian official dispatch as taking part
in a naval engagement in the Baltic

British Cite Cases to
Show Appam Must Be
Returned to Owners

, LONDON, Feb. 3.-The opinion at the
admiralty regarding the status of the
Appam is that the United States never
recognized the principle of transferring
a merchantmen at sea into a warship.
In the discussions at the last Hague
convention the American delegates
agreed with the English delegates on
this proposition.
The case of the. Tuscora is quoted.
When she was taken into a cape port
Great Britain refused to recognize her
conversion to a cruiser, a decision in
which the United states acquised.
Great Britain holds that under articles
q and p. of the Haugue convention
the Appam must be returned to her
owners, while the prize crew must be
interned. The alternative, in the posi-
tion taken by Great Britain, is that
after the needs of provisioning have
been met the Appam must proceed to
sea. whereupon the British navy would
do its utmost to sink her.
british mercantile marine circles have
been greatly aroused by the capture.
PerpleNity In regard to the question OF
insurance Is still admitted at Lloyd's.
The underwriters, however, consider her
a war loss, and il Is believed she will
not be announced as having arrived
safely in port The total loss to the
underwriters from all ships sunk by the
mysterious raider probably will amount
TO e0,OUO,UUU.
Many here believe the raider sailed
from some neutral port. The precedent
Is cited of the Alabama. One sea cap
tain of forty years experience is cred
tied with the statement that the raider
could not have sailed from a German
port and escaped the British navy, and
that ii is his belief that she was out
fitted somewhere along the American
coast.
Captain Semmes. of the Alabama, II ia
recalled, In capturing the Tuscaloosa IN
1868, took the vessel to Cape Town as
a prize, where she was finally turned
over to her owners by the British gov
ernment.
Every warship in reach has been or
dered to scour the Atlantic, especially
the African coast, in search of the Ger
man raider Not only is 1t felt that
there Is serious danger to British ship
ping in having the vessel Rt large, hut
the naval authorities are deeply cha
grined that it should have been able
to san the seas at all,

ASKS COURT TO EJECT
BOARDERS FROM HOME
Wash P. Evans Charges They and
His Wife Practically Have
DisposSessed Him.

Wash p. Evans. OF 1911 Gales street
northeast, today filed in the District
Supreme Court a suit to eject from his
home, two boarders. A. ]. Rogers and
the latter's wife.
In his bill for an injunction to restrain
Rogers from occupying the property. the
plaintiff alleges that his own wife. Mrs.
Evans. has "conspired" with Rogers to
prevent the petitioner from acquiring
possession of his property Evans adds
that as a result OF the occupancy OF tho
property by Rogers and the conduct or
Rogers and Mrs. Evans he has been
practically forced away from his own
home.
The bill sets forth that Rogers and
Mrs. Rogers came to live at the Evans
home with Mr.. and Mrs Evans in June,
1916. In November, Evans asserts. he
gave Rogers notice to move, but de-
clares that the latter has failed to COM
ply.

positive statement that the liner re-
sisted capture. All of the British are
equally positive in their denial. Only
one thing is certain: there was no des-
perate encounter. as In the closest eX-
animation the Appam fails to show
many scars.
After the capture the Appam's crew
was transferred to the raider and n
prize crew put aboard the liner. Tho
two ships separated then. but tho liner
came back in the morning after hearing
firing.
Here again there is nothing certain.
except that the Moewe was sinking the
Australian cargo steamer Clan Nc
lavish as the Appam returned. As to
all the rest of the details. accounts vary
toward each extreme.
According to CAPTAIN Yeates. master of
the Author. there was no fight at all.
simply an all-night chase. half a dozen
shots from the raider, and the sinking
OF the merchantmen. Captain Yeatcs
was a prisoner aboard the raider at the
time. and while he could not sec out
declares the pounding OF the engines
and the gun reports told the story
graphically. as though he had viewed
the whole thing.
.Sir Edward Mereweather. on the other
hand. saws tho McTRvish engaged the
Moewe after she had been entrapped.
He SAYS the merchantmen fired ten
shots and the raider six.
Colony Chief Fuller has still another
version, He asserts that no one was
killed on the McTavish. the Moewe TAX
six wounded sailors to the Appam.
which he saws was standing or about
two miles away. on the opposite side
from the freiRhter.
Other accounts agree that twenty-five
men were killed bv a single shot aboard
the McTavish. and that the six Lascars
are the only survivors.
Confirms Bomb Story.
What is certain Is that. following
the sinking. the British officers i'm
prisoned on the raider were transferred
to the Appam along with the LascArs.
and the prize began her lonG flight
across the Atlantic at once on the
morning of the 18th.
The voyage across, romantic as II
was. seemed to have been almost color
less. when compared with the prior in
cidents. There was no revolt. One OF
the few reports absolutely confirmed
last night was that the Germans. cut
numbered twenty to one. held their
prisoners" at bsY by planting tJrlDs
over the ship and announcing that the
vessel and its entire human cargo
would be blowh II atoms at the first
sign of mutinY.
Stories of this were in circulation
all yesterday. but 1t was not until
evening that Absolution confirmation
was obtained. Sid Edward was caught
in the lobby of the Chamberlain and
asked regarding the plot
