GERMAN BOY spy
CAPTURES VESSEL
FOR SHORT TINE
PLEA OF CAPTAIN FOR LIFE AND
WIFE AND DAUGHTER, PRE-
VENTS SEA TRAGEDY.

Lewis, Del, March 31.--The young
German who by threatening the use Of
bomb, captured the British steamer
Matoppo and terrorized her crew of
fifty-six men on Wednesday night,
shortly after the ship had sailed out
of New York harbor for Vladivostok
with railroad supplies for the Russian
government, declared today that he
was spy for the German government.
The ship came back to the United
States under threat of destruction by
its captor. Ernest Schiller, the pris-
oner, weary from all the excitement he
had undergone, sought sleep in the
Lewes Jail early today.
"Yes, am spy for the German
government" he said "You can be-
lieve it or not-it makes no difference
to me. got my instructions from the
German government to go aboard the
ship and blow her up to prevent her
cargo from reaching Russia. could
have blown her up but the captains
plea for his wife and daughter was too
much for me and I hadn't the heart
to do it. am ready to take the con-
sequences but ask that they keep me
ashore instead of sending me back to
the ship for the captain to take me in
charge"
- Schiller had been told that as his
daring exploit occurred outside the
three mile limit, he would in all likeli-
hood be taken to British possessions
in the West Indies for trial for piracy.
Federal authorities and representa-
tives from the British government
came here today to examine Schiller
and to decide what to do with him.
An examination into Schiller's men,
tai condition will be made. Those
who have talked with him believe he
is irresponsible and that his story of
his career is not true.

LEADERS SEE LANSING.

Washington, D. c., March 31.-Chair.
man Stone of the senate foreign rela
tions committee and Chairman Flood
of the house foreign affairs committee
went over the submarine situation
fully with Secretary Lansing today at
an early conference.
The situation with Germany was de.
scribed officially as not being 'immi
nent' and it was said that the two
committee chairmen had not come to
the state department by appointment
but had come separately seeking in
formation for the guidance of mem
hers of congress-
The situation may accurately be de-
scribed as a waiting one. -
Aside from the slowness of commu.
nication between Washington and
Berlin, 1t was pointed out today that
the American ambassador may not
have carried his request to the for.
eign Office while it was engaged in
the delicate situation in the German
reichstag over the submarine policy
Chairman Stone said that no com
plications in the situation inspired his
call upon Secretary Lansing.
"The fact that Chairman Flood OF
the house committee was also at the
department was a mere coincidence,
said he, explaining that he had gone
to the department only to secure any
additional information on the situa.

TOWE ERMAN is

OF NEW YORK
CENTRAL WRECK TURN TO
SECOND ENGINEER.

Cleveland, O., March 31.-With the
main issue before them whether man
failure or machine failure caused the
wreck of three New York Central
trains near Amherst, Ohio, early We'd
nesday, federal and state investigators
planned today to 60 to the bottom in
an inquiry that was expected to last
throughout the day.
Previous to the convening this
morning of the representatives Of the
interstate commerce commission and
the Ohio utilities commission, 1t was
understood that A. H. Ernst, the sig.
nal towernan, had been tentatively
absolved from blame for the wreck,
the death list from which stood at
twenty-eight.
With Ernst out of it as the cause Of
the wreck, the inquiry was expected
to simmer down to these two ques.
lions:
Did Engineer Hermann Hess, To.
ledo, pilot of the second section lof
New York Central SO run by two sig
nails, one ordering him to proceed
wit9a caution and the other ordering
him 70 stop his train? or
Did the elaborate, costly signal
mechanism, designed to prevent such
disasters, fail in the final test?
Ernst and Hess were to appear as
principal witnesses at the examination

ficulties which lie in our way and we
shall overcome them, because we have
the inflexible will to do So said Alex
andre Ribot, minister Of finance, in
speaking in the senate yesterday In
favor of the votes of credit for the
second quarter of 1916, already approx,
ed by the chamber of deputies.
"At the conference OF the allies
which has just been held here" the
minister continued, "the fullest conf
dence was expressed by all that victory
is certain. We shall arrive at a peace
which will restore right and justice
and will deliver the world from a
nightmare which too long has burdened
it." The credits were passed by unan-
imous vote of the senate.

.L|TERACY TEST
IN IMMIGRATION
BILL IS ASSURED
HOUSE PASSES MEAURE ON TO
THE SENATE; ALREADY
VETOED TWICE.

Washington, d. c., March 31.-The
fight against the house immigration
bill prescribing literacy test for the
admission of aliens was today trans
ferred to the senate, although its pas
sage there also is fully expected.
AS 1t went to the senate following
it's passage by the house by vote of
30S to 81 late yesterday, the bill con-
tained provisions for a literacy test
and Asiatic exclusion. Opponents OF
the measure in the house centered
their efforts on having the literacy
test feature eliminated but in this
they were unsuccessful.
The literacy test was sustained 2S4
cause of vetoes Of similar immigra-
tion bills by Presidents Cleveland,
Taft and Wilson. The house passed
the bill over the Cleveland veto, but
it failed in the senate. Motions to
override the vetoes of Presidents Taft
and Wilson were lost in the house by
narrow margins.
Representative Burnett, chairman Of
the immigration committee, predicted
last night that there was sufficient
strength to repass the bill in the event
of another veto. The president has not
indicated his purpose to the house
leaders.
Both record votes-on the literacy
test, and on the passage of the bill
were without regard to party lines
Majority Leader Kitchin voted for the
literacy test and for the bill. Minority
Leader Mann voted against the liter
acy test and then for the bill.
