LONE GERMAN CAPTURES
BRITISH SHIP AT SEA
Armed With Two Revolvers. Stow
away Appears After Boat Leaves
Port and Imprisons Captain.

Lewes, Del, April 1.-The British
steamer Matoppo put in at this port
on Thursday with a thrilling tale of
piracy A German stowaway, armed
with two revolvers, had come within
hairs breadth of capturing single
handed the vessel and it's cargo of war
munitions destined for Russia.
Ernest Schuler, the German, is un-
der arrest. He is in irons at the fed
eral custOmhouse in Lewes. He has
in his possession money and papers
belonging to the captain. Nothing
can be learned about him.
The Matoppo weighed anchor at
Sandy Hook at night, bound for Vladi-
vostok with cargo of war materials
landed at New York. Two hours later
Schiller came out of his hiding place.
He put the wireless out OF opera
ton, forced the captain into a cabin
at the point OF his guns, searched his
papers and the ships safe and until
morning was in complete control of
the ship.
AS oAhSCl0 anu CACW VI (u0 oulp
were terrorized through the night by
the mans declaration that he had
placed bombs in different parts of the
ship and that the vessel would be
blown to bits if they tried to attack
him.
After running the ship for a night
Schiller was responsible for his own
undoing. About noon, when the
steamer was Off Rehoboth bay, Della
ware, he insisted on being put ashore.
He was put over in a pilot boat, still
with his two guns, and made for the
shore.
In the meantime the Matoppo ran
up signal asking for immediate as
sistance. 1t was seen by the super
intendent of the maritime exchange
reporting station at the Delaware
breakwater and the federal coast
guard crew at Lewes Immediately put
off in it's large power launch.
The launch reached Schuler's boat
Just as he was approaching the beach
at Rehoboth. Schiller was ordered to
surrender and come into the launch.
He threw his revolvers overheard and
came in. He was taken to the GUS
tomhouse and clapped in irons.

DEFECTIVE SIGNALS TO BLAME
State-Federal Inquiry Hears Testi-
mony as to Cause of Amherst Wreck
Trains Behind Time.

Cleveland, O., April THAT all
three of the New York Central trains
which were piled up in wreck at
Amherst, o., costing the lives of at
least % persons and injury to more
than 40, we're racing through dense fog
in an effort to make up lost time;
that the signal block system was de-
fective on this occasion and had been
similarly deficient on numerous oc-
casions during the past winter, and
that no particular man was to blame
for the wreck, were the outstanding
features of evidence taken at the first
formal session Of the representatives
of the interstate commerce commits
sion and of the utilities commission
of Ohio to fix responsibility for the
wreck.
The commission will continue the
investigation.

SCHOOL HEAD ENDS
LIFE At CHICAGO
E. P. Cummings of Lansing,
Mich, Dies-Kin Takes Poison.
DOCTOR is STILL ALIVE
Nothing Found to Indicate Suicide
Compact Between Brothers-Edu-
Gator Shot himself Once
Before.

Chicago, April 3.-Edward P. Cum
mings, superintendent of schools OF
Lansing, Mich, shot himself to death
in the Stratford hotel here. At prac-
tically the same time DR.. Herbert
Cummings, his brother, swallowed
poison in Grand Haven, Mich.
Nothing has been found to indicate
a suicide compact. Police and rela
tives believe neither brother knew OF
the others act. Doctor Cummings Is
still alive, but his condition makes
discussion of the death of his brother
impossible.
E. P. Cummings, who until last NO
vember was president of the State
Teachers association of Michigan
feared he was losing his mind, accord
ing to the belief expressed by his ply
stefan and close friends in Lansing
1t is said that for many months Mr.
Cummings had been under severe
nervous strain. His mother, suffer
ing from a mental arrangement
caused him considerable anxiety While
she was residing in his home.
Mr.. Cummings had been at Daytona
Beach for two months in an effort to
recuperate, following injuries received
when he shot himself last December
According to friends and relatives, al
that time, he shot himself accldentaE
ly while cleaning his shotgun after a
hunting trip. Part of his heart was
torn away and the fear that he never
would recover his strength as a result
of his injury. is said to have been
one of the causes of his suicide.
Doctor Cummings swallowed the
poison while recovering from injuries
sustained recently when he slashed
his wrists with a knife. The Grand
Haven police assert he previously had
made four attempts to end his life.
Cummings registered at the hotel
as "R. S. Brown, Detroit"
He left two letters-one to his
widow and the other to Mr.. Sea
grove In them he said he killed him
self because he didn't want to be-
come a burden to his family and the
state"

In the sale of the Navajo Apache Bank and Trust Company to T. M. Quebedeaux and as- sociates only part of the assets of the company were transferred.
