SUBMARINES SINK TWO MORE
UNARMED SHIPS WITHOUT
WARNING.
.CLENCYLE DESTROYED
LINER SENT TO BOTTOM BEFORE
U. S. COULD PROTEST AGAINST o.
SINKING OF PERSIA.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Washington, Jan. 4.-President VII
son will arrive in Washington this
morning on a special train from Hot
Springs, Va, and within few hours,
it is expected, will have called halt
to Austria's submarine raids, which
yesterday claimed another big British
steamer. All American officials are
astounded at the lengths to which the
dual monarchy's submarines have
gone in violation of Austria's pledge
to America for the safeguarding OF
lives. President Wilson, it is under.
stood, is in no mood to brook further
offenses or any excuse whatever. 1t
Is probable that he will call the cab
met together Immediately after his ar.
rival, and that before night Austria
will be given to understand that the
United States will not tolerate another
single sinking of an unarmed vessel
without warning. Whether this notice
will be conveyed in formal note or
given verbally and emphatically to
Baron Won Zwiedinek, the Austrian
charge, is not indicated.
Almost before the echo of the blast
which sent the Persia to the bottom
had died away, the news of the tor
pedoing of two more liners was
flashed over the wires to Washington.
The British steamer Glengyie, which
was homeward bound from Shanghai,
was sunk in the Mediterranean Sun.
day without warning. This was her
second voyage.
She had on board about, 120 per.
sons, passengers and crew. All, with
the exception of three Europeans and
seven Chinese, were landed. So far
as known no Americans were on
board.
The Glengyle sailed from Shanghai
for London on Nov. 25. She was last
reported at Singapore on Dec. 6.
Her route would take her through
the Suez canal and the Mediterranean
and it may be assumed she was sunk
In the Mediterranean-as were the
Persia, Vile de La Ciotat, Yasaka
Maru and several other steamships.
The Glengyle was one Of the largest
steamships which have been sunk
since the activity of submarines in
the Mediterranean sea became pro-
nounced. Her gross tonnage was 1896.
She was owned by the Glen line of
Glasgow and was the largest steam.
ship Of that line.
The London Times declares that
the Peninsular and Oriental liner
Geelong, 5000 tons, has been sunk
near the Mediterranean.
It was the opinion in official circles
that in the face of its recent note
Austria would place the blame for the
sinking of the Persia On one of its
allies not yet implicated in the sub
marine controversy.
Baron Zwiedinek assured Secretary
Lansing that If it were proved that
an Austrian submarine had sunk the
Persia his government would give full
reparation and satisfaction.
Secretary Lansing said that some
action should be taken, to notify Tur-
key and Bulgaria of the attitude of
the United States toward submarine
warfare so that all the central power
belligerents operating in the Mediter-
ranean might not be uninformed.

"Who knows about some other land?

Denver.-That the storage o. liquor
will be lawful only in three places
under the prohibition penalty law was
the chief development brought out at
the meeting of district attorneys and
sheriffs of the state to determine uni
form methods of enforcing the law.
The law specifically allows the
keeping of liquor in retail drug
stores and wholesale drug houses.
By intimation it permits the keep
ing of liquor in private homes be-
cause it provides that no warrant
shall be issued for the search of
private residence.
Persons, however, who have beer
contemplating storing liquor outside
their homes for personal use will be
disappointed They may lawfully keep
liquor for personal Use only in their
homes.
1t was suggested by M. w. Purcell
of Colorado Springs. president of tho
District Attorneys Association, that
under the ordinary criminal law, con
strued in conjunction with the pro
hibition measure, the buying of liquor
by citizen from a bootlegger might
make the citizen liable to prosecution
as an accessory to the crime of the il
legal sale.
To this District Attorney Davidson
of Pueblo demurred. holding that the
sale was the only illegal action and
that the purchase was an entirely diff
ferent action.
Several other prosecutors, however,
agreed with President Purcell.
1t was also brought out that the
common law limitation preventing the
serving of search warrants between
sunrise and sunset will apply to the
search and seizure section of the law.
Expressions of opinion were fire.
quent that pure or grain alcohol can
not be sold under the law. since it is
intoxicating, and there is no provi-
sion for it's sale for medical or me-
chanical purposes. The subject was
left for future determination.
Officers of the association we're
elected. NJ W. Purcell, retiring presi
dent, was given the honor of stand
ing vote in appreciation of his serv-
ices.
J. w. Davidson, district attorney OF
Pueblo, was elected president. Dis
trict Attorney Fleming of Boulder
was chosen vice president. Foster
Cline of Denver was elected secre-
tary-treasurer.
On suggestion by District Attorney
Purcell, a committee was appointed
by President Davidson for the drafting
of forms for informations to be filed
against violators of the prohibition
law. These forms will cover the var
ious charges for the kinds of crime
that are expected to be most frequent.
The committee consists of District
Attorney s. w. Johnson, Mr.. Purcell

LACK OF MONEY

BILE. In telling of her case she says:
II had been treated by four different
physicians during 10 years of stomach

that had neuralgia of the stomach.
Then I went to a specialist who told
me I had catarrh Of the stomach and
said he could cure me in four months,
but would have to have his money
down. I could not raise the neces-
sary sum and In my extremity I was
led to quit coffee and try Postum.

In any event officials here regard 1t
as foregone conclusion that the APP

until the end of the war. British

GERMANY Some officials were in
cIined to regard the feat as added ev-
idence to support the contention of
the United States that even under
modern conditions of naval warfare
a submarine can capture a ship with
out loss of life.
The supreme court in a. decision,
announced in 1902, which may bear on
the disposition of the Appam,g held:
tsJJntil condemnation, captors acquire
no absolute right of property in

tion.''
secreatry Lansing said the Appam
case would involve considerable in
vestigation before any action by this
government was taken. There was
nothing to do. he said, until the valid
ity of the capture was determined.
The Appam is the first case since the
beginning Of the present war where
a prize had been brought into an
American port.

Kralik rushed in. He said the ac-

to where Czekonski was standing and
drawing the knife from his coat,
plunged it into his stomach Then
he wheeled and darted out of the
door without further words.
The coroner will hear other witt
nesses tomorrow morning at 10

is alleged to have welded has not
been recovered although the police
have a very dull butcher knife with
which they think the deed was done.

HUNDREDS WANT
TAX LEVIES CUT
Continued from page 1

attempt has been made by the as
SCISSORS to make an intelligent levy of
a fixed price front foot for each
Hstreet as was the custom in former
years. Instead the board has, raised
the assessments of those whom they
pleased with little regard to the value
or earning capacity of the property.
Today, frequently, people who are
neighbors came in together. One
man would find the variation Iof his
$1,000. His neighbors would find
only a slight increase in their assess
ments.. OF course they would go
away Smiling while the other man
would file an indignant protest with
the board of relief
1T is a singular fact that none of
the property owners who have been
interested in, or friendly to the pres
ent administration have received ma
terial increases in the amount of their
assessments over last year.
None of the large property owners
or represe ntatives of the manufacture
ers had appeared before the board up
to noon today but the members had
their hands full looking up lists and
taking down complaints of the small
home owners
President Lewis of the relief board
would venture no statement today as
to what changes might be made fol-
lowing complaints for the il-ate tax
payers nor would he venture opin
ion as to how much the grand list
might be reduced by his board. Other
members of the board limited they had
discovered cases where the assess
rnent had not been made as large as
they should be, to which they will
call the attention of the assessors
From the attendance today 1T would
appear that the board of relief has its
work cut out for it and that it Will
hold many private sessions after the
public sessions are closed.

MAKING Pastel colora

The lack Of permanently of pastel
pictures is largely due, according to
Birge Harrison, to the bad quality of
the materials employed. Inscriptions
manufact dip sticks of white chalk
into liquid baths OF brilliant but ephem-
eral dyes, and pictures produced with
these soon fade. Writing in Art and
Progress, Mr.. Harrison says artists
should make their own pasteIs, a proc
ess that is very easy.
'The materials used, he says, ''are
precipitated, chalk mixed with the best
dry powdered colors In the proportions
necessary to produce the various tints
desired This impalpable powder is
moistened to the consistency of a thick
paste by the addition of an extremely
dilute solution of gum tragacanth and
water. It is then very thoroughly
kneaded and finally pressed or rolled
into sticks of the desired size.''
