TOSSED $3O0,O0O
 INTO THE HUDSON
Alleged Mail Sack Thief Says He A Threw Fortune Away

New York, July 13.-Thomas Ben- and Louis Windler, his brother-in- law, were placed on trial yesterday in the criminal branch of the Federal District court, accused of stealing se- curities valued at $800,000 from a postal automobile truck last February. The two men recently arranged to escape from the Tombs Prison and to liberate several other prisoners by means of wooden pass keys.
 The robbery occurred while the mail truck was on board the ferryboat Wilkesbarre, crossing the Hudson river from Communipaw, N. J., to Liberty street. For a week no clew was discovered. Tn addition to the securities, $8,000 in uncut diamonds were stolen and one of them was found in a pawn shop. Benson, ac- cording to Frank M. Roose, United States attorney, had paswned the dia- monds. No positive proof that the two were guilty was found, the attor- ney said, until Edward J. Quigley was arrested by chance in Baltimore, Md, with $504,000 worth of the missing securities in his possession. He con- fessed and is now being held as a states witness.
 Benson is said to have confessed, when confronted with evidence. that lie had dropped securities worth $3O0,00O in the river at the foot of West Forty-seventh street after wrap ping them in oilcloth. The govern nent diver has not yet recovered them.
 r Witnesses testified that Wilder had rented a horse and wagon which was used to carry the loot the men took from the mail truck.

BRITAIN ON TRAIL
 OF NICKEL CARGO
May Shut Off Supply Of Metal to
 This Country

Washington, July 13.-With the German submarine Deutschland rush ing the loading of her cargo for the return trip to Bremen and British warships preparing to sink the vessel on sight, once she has left the three mile limit, a new problem confronts the state department.
 Acting Secretary Polk vigorously denies a report that in case of such an attack the department would make no protest. Nothing could be done he de- clared until an actual situation arose. Meanwhile the question was engag g the attention of officials.
 The ruling of the treasury depart ment, announced by Secretary Me- Adoo that the Deutschland is a mer- chant vessel, will not govern the &C., tiOn of the state department. Not until the reports of the naval experts are approved by the neutrality board, which is to meet today, will any off, cial decision be made.
 Counsellor Barclay. of the British embassy, again called on MT. Polk to inquire concerning the course to be adopted by the administration and to press the allies contention that all submarines should be regarded as warships. Formal communications from the British foreign office are ex- pected on the subject and it is under stood that Ambassador Spring Rice will return to the city next week to present them in person.
 Hunting Breach of Contract.
 The British embassy also began an investigation into the sources of the ,h1 ;o1, oJ r1,;o large part of the return cargo of the Deutschland. As both these commodi- ties are imported into the United States from British colonies under agreements which preclude their re- exportation to the central powers, it is declared that there has been a breach of contract somewhere. Prac- ticaly all of the nickel comes from Canada and most of the rubber from Brazil and East Indian plantations by way of London.
 If it is found that the Germans have been accommodating any great quantities of these forbidden supplies, ernment may take steps toward ter not only the agreements un- der which they have been imported, but also the wool agreement. They were entered into only after the most solemn pledges by American manu- lecturers. Their cancellation would throw many industries into confu- sion.
 While the American government Is no party to any of these agreements, cting Secretary Polk indicated that state department was taking an in crest in them. Nothing official could De done, however, because the United States had never recognized the blockade which prevented their expor- -ation to Germany. Yet the govern ment because of the orders for ar nor and munitions which it has placed. would suffer also if supplies of nickel were shut off.
 British auth critics, it Is declared, have no disposition to interfere with American industry on account or the exploits of German submarine. On the other hand, they consider that they still hold the trump card. The manganese, copper, nickel and rubber vitally necessary to Germany they still have it in their power to stop.

The importance of having pure blood
is perhaps never more deeply impressed
ON US than when we are told by physi-
oIogists that if the brain is supplied with
impure blood, nervous and bilious head
ache, confusion Of ideas, loss of memory,
IMPAIRED intellect, dimness of vision, and
dullncss Of hearing, are experienced, and
i'm time the brain becomes disorganizcd
and the brittle thread Of life is broken.
The more We learn of the usefulness of
the great blood purifier, Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. the more grateful We are for this
old and successful family medicine. which
has accomplished 50 much in removing
