BOAT CAPTAIN Of
OPINION THAT He
SAW KAISER BOAT.

NEW YORK, March 3-Captain Nun
kewitx Bull, of the Insular line steamer
Grayson, reaching this port from Por-
to Rico early today reported having
sighted a German vessel lurking off
the Virginia capes during his north
ward voyage. Captain Bull was uno-
BILE to determine whether the German
vessel was an armed raider or prize
attempting to slip into the Virginia
port.
The mysterious ship was first sight
ed early Thursday, the second officer
Of the Grayson reporting it's appear
ance The only evidence of the ships
presence was in light sighted to the
east and moving in an easterly direc-
ton. Captain Munkewitz ordered the
navigating officer of the Grayson to al
ter the ships course, and suddenly a
second light appeared on the Grayson's
port side, moving westerly. Both lights
disappeared almost as suddenly as
tliey had been sighted.
The occurrence has created interest
in shipping circles owing to the cir
cumstance that on January 23, similar
lights were observed in the same po-
sition as those seen from the Grayson,
and a few days later the British liner
Appam dashed into Hampton Roads,
by German prize crew. A
british cruiser was encountered by the
Grayson off the Atlantic coast short
ly after the mysterious vessel was
but no mention of the incident
was conveyed to the cruiser.

TWELVE DIAMONDS
WORTH THOUSANDS
STOLEN IN CHICAGO

CHICAGO, March 3.-The theft of
twelve diamond rings said to be worth
over twenty-five thousand dollars, was
reported to the Chicago police today.
The rings were stolen from Dreicer &
Company, prominent jewelry concern
here, and little trace of the missing
stones has yet been uncovered.
Manager Smith, of Dreicer's told
detectives this morning that a we'll
dressed stranger came into the store
and looked at three trays of diamonds
He examined the stones fully ten min
utes and appeared to hesitate between
q choice. Mr.. Smith suggested to the
stranger that better light could be
obtained at the door, and accompanied
his customer there. When he returned
after the stranger departed, Manager
Smith found one of the trays contain
ing twelve valuable rings gone.
After reporting the loss to police
authorities, Manager Smith examined a
number of photographs in the rogues
gallery and identified one as that OF
the stranger who is believed to have
stolen the rings. The police an
nounced the original photograph is a
noted diamond thief, but declined to
make the mans name public. Detec-
tives are now searching the city for
him, and arrests are expected within
few hours.

SENATE TABLES CORES MOTION
TODAY BY VOTE OF 68 TO a
PASSING MATTER ON TO HOUSE
GOES To HIS DEATH
DENYING HIS Gull 7

OSSINING, N. Y, March 3-Walter
Watson, of Brooklyn, was electrocuted
at Sing Sing prison here this morning.
The crime for which Watson paid the
extreme penalty was the murder of his
wife, committed year ago. He went
to the chair protesting his innocence
and never confessed. His last message,
contained in sealed envelope opened
after his electrocution, was small
flower, which Watson requested be
placed on his wife's grave.
Watson and his wife had been sepa-
rated some time when the woman was
and he is supposed to have
killed her while maudlin drunk. Tom
Watson, a son of the couple, saw his
father stab his victim and assisted in
his after he had fed. The
sons testimony at the trial undoubted-
ly brought about his conviction.

NO CHANGE IN
BATTLE AROUND
'VERDUN'S s Gates

There is no change in the Werdun sit
uation shown by any reports from
either French, British or German
sources today. The renewal of German
attacks north and east of the main
fortress there have failed to shake
the new French lines, though the Ger
mans are tenaciously holding their adj
vanced lines.
Many observers who have kept in
close touch with events occurring in
the vicinity of Verdun express the be-
lief today that the Germans have halt
ed on account of the difficulty of mov-
ing heavy artillery over the newly
captured ground. There has been no.
ticeable slowing up of the heavy she'll
ing since the advance halted, and this
apparently congrms the view held by
these observers.
The French war Office reports an in
creased intensity of fire north and
northwest of Verdun. and east and
southeast of Woevre, while the bonn
bardment north of Verdun continues
Tie shelling north of Verdun contin-
ued all day yesterday with redoubled
violence, says a French official state,
ment. Several German attacks against
Fort Vaux have been repulsed, and
attempts to relieve the German force
isolated within the ruins of Fort
D0uaumont failed.

SENATE GOES ON RECORD
AS TO THEIR FEELINGS
Expected That House Will Take
Same View of the Matter on
Their Vote.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 3.-The
senate today voted to table the Gore
resolution warning Americans aft
armed merchant ships. The vote on
the resolution stood 6S to IA, the re-
suit being considered a distinct vic
tory for President Wilson and admin
istration forces.
The senate action finally quells the
agitation which embarrassed the Viii
son administration in its German sub
marine negotiations, every resolution
bearing upon the subject having been
Gecisively defeated Besides the Gore
resolution, substitute offered by
Senator McCumber, a republican, was
laid upon the table. An attempt by
Senator Gore to strengthen his Origi-
nal resolution was also defeated at the
same time.
The final roll call on the resold-
tions was taken on motion of Senator
jones, the administration whip, who
moved that they be tabled, On this
motion Senator voted against his own
substitute motion, explaining that he
merely introduced it to secure an ex-
preston of position from the senate on
the pending issue.
Senators Chamberlain and O'Gorman
were the only democratic senator's vot-
irg against the administration, forty
seven democrats and twenty-one re-
p"blicans voting to table the resolu-
tons.
The fight now goes to the house,
where administration leaders assert
the presidents position will also be
upheld.
Senator McCumber, republican, rein
troduced his resolution on the armed
merchant ship situation this afternoon,
and it goes to the calendar, to be voted
on later.
At the white house this afternoon it
was announced President Wilson is de-
termined to have a vote on the reso-
lutions in the house, even if special
rule is necessary to secure this end.
The presidents insistence on this point
came after he had heard varying re-
ports concerning the attitude of the
house foreign relations committee on
the issue.

Fight Coming
When Cochran
Returns Here

ATLANTA, Ga, March 3.-Joe
Cochran, Atlanta park manager, and
some Atlanta reporter (name un-
known) are going to have a fight when
Joe gets back from Chicago.
Mr.. Cochran went to Chicago to pur-
chase some new animals for the Grant
I'ark zoo, and in his absence a news
paper man with sense of humor
cooked up an alleged interview under
q Chicago date-line, purporting to be
statement that Mr.. Cochran had
procured marvellous specimen of
the nearly extinct w'mmpf
THE w'mmf," says Mr.. Cochran in
the alleged interview, is name diff
cult to pronounce, being derived from
the ancient language of the Gkks,
which as all biologists know is desti-
tute of vowels and extremely difficult
to sing. AS the animal covers five-sev-
enths of an acre, the railroads have
declined to transport him, so l am now
having him shod at a prominent armor
plat works just outside Chicago, and
purpose to ride him home"
