SAYS TEUTON ALLIES
ARE PROPOSING PIRACY
Senator Lodge Insists Attack
|, ing Armed Merchantmen
Is Unlawful

Washington, Feb. lS-Austria and
Germany were charged by Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts today with pro-
posing piracy in their plans to atteck
armed merch antmen without warning.
Discussing the Sterling resolution
against recognition of their plans,
Lodge said it is inconceivable that the
United States would accept the TeutOn-
ic decree. He cited precedents to show
that armng of ships for defense nad
been allowed since the days of the Bar
barry pirates. He recalled that America
had approved such armament during the
present war and declared that any
change from this position now would be
an mneutral act.
"The abandonment of the right OF
chantmen to arm themselves or the
right of Americans to travel or ship
their goods on them, said Lodge,
"coud rest only ON the ground that the
centuries-Old right of neutrals must be
east aside so that new instrument OF
maritime destruction should ont be i'm
peded in its work of death and muir
der. Such a doctrine is revolving to
every instinct of humanity and to ev-
cry principle of law and justice. -

TO TORPEDO
ROOSEVELT BOOM
He Backs Root But Anything
to Beat Roosevelt" VIII
Be Satisfactory

New York, Feb. 1S.--William Barnes,
Jr, whom Colonel Roosevelt called New
York state republican "boss, is about
to turn presidential raider, according to
widely circulated reports today.
1t is understood he is about to start
a six weeks cruise with the idea of
torpedoing prospective Roosevelt dele
gates to the Chicago convention. He
will fly the Elihu Root flag, but is said
to be willing to shift to the colors of
any "safe" conservative.
Barnes probably will visit Ohio, Min
nesota, Illinois and the Dakotas. He
is said to be particularly worried over
the possibility that the Cummins dele
gates will be the first to stampede for
his ancient enemy, Roosevelt.

DEADLOCK ARISES
OVER SUBMARINES
Now Awaits
Word From England About
Orders Issued

Washington, Feb, 1S.-With the sub
marine warfare negotiations between
the state department and German Am
bassador Won Bernstorff at a tempo
rary standstill, the cabinet and senate
today debated the future course of this
government,
Non'partisan congressional support
was promised for the administration
stand against the decree by Austria
and Germany announcing their inten.
tion to attack armed merchantmen
without warning. The cabinet was ex-
peeted to consider whether to protest
formally against the German and Aus
trian pronouncements, though it was
believed the government would decide
to await actual developments before
making such move.
The delay of the allies in advising the
administration as to their course toward
the decrees is hampering the state de-
partment negotiations with Berlin
Though British Ambassador Sir Cecil
Spring Rice promised joint allied note
on the subject, this has not been forth
coming.
Independent of any position the allies
may assume, however, the administra
tion is committed to demand that Ger.
many shall pledge that her future sub
marine efforts shall conform to the es
tablished international code.
The state department intends to ask
Great Britain concerning her alleged Sc
cret order to vessels to take the Of
fensive against submarines, which Ger
many transmitted with her new de
cree.
Germany, though displeased over the
delay in the Lusitania negotiations. i,
not believed likely to withdraw hel
last terms. These are said to be salts
factory to this government aside from
the fact that assurances for the future
are desired simultaneously.
The state department heads believe
Won Bernstorff was not authorized t,
suggest postponement of the unwarnei
attack decree, but that in so doing he
was prompted by a desire for an i'm
mediate settlement of the Lusitani,
case.

Gun Fight in Portland.

: Portland, Ore, Feb. 1S.-Apparently
dying, member * the Chinese Hop
Sing tong lay at the Good Samaritan
hospital today and stoieally refused to
offer any suggestion why member of
the Bow Leong tong should have shot
him. He had five bullets in his body.
Another Chinese, member of the
peaceable Hoi Yin Quong tong, had a
bullet in his leg, but smilingly assured
officers that it was all an accident.
Louie Quon was in jail. He cheerful
ly admitted shooting the Hop Sing man
who. he said, tried to steal his wife
Louie QuOn is San Francisco member
of the consolidated Bow Leong tong.
Chinatown was in a state Of suppress
ed excitement today. All Chinese de-
MED that last night 's shooting was mart
of the recent tong troubles in Califor-
mia. But police recalled that the Bow
Leongs were reported to have been al.
lied with the Sucv sings in November.
1914, when the Hon Sings were badly
beaten in a street battle here.
Jung Quong president Of the local
Bow Leong tong, is also in Jail. He was
found hiding in basement and was ar.
Hested under the so-callbd "general
cu7sedness" ordinance.
Hundreds of Chinese were crowdino
the Eleventh street theatre when the
shooting occurred q dozen blocks away.
A squad of police rushed to the theatre
and while the Chinese actors blandly
proceeded with their drama, the Amer.
lean officers searched over the audi.
ence for weapons.
The Hop Sings are enraged. They are
the most powerful tong in Portland
and the police are fearful of further
trouble. Lee Me Gin, president of the
loo Chinese peace society, busted him
self today to pour oil on the troubled
waters.
Indignant Hop Sing members declar.
cd today that Louie Quon never had a
wife. They said he is well known in
San Francisco as a highbinder and all
round bad man.
Police believe the tong trouble here
and also the shooting in Seattle last
night, resulted from a recent diamond
theft. The wife Of prominent Suey
Sing lost some valuable jewels. The
theft was laid at the door of a Hop
Sing member The Bow Leongs are al
lied with the Suey Sings.
Bad blood between the rival tongs
in Portland has existed continuously
since March, l9l3 Then the Hop Sings
killed a Suey Sing. Afther the street
battle in November, 1914, Louie Hing
was captured with a bullet in his leg,
and was convicted of manslaughtcr for
the 1913 shooting. The tong is said
to have spent $4,000 defending him.
He was released without serving a day
in the penitentiary.
Chinese republicans denied that their
cause was involved in the tong war.

Three shocks were given. Each was
of 1880 volts, the first at 5.5l a. m.
Eight minutes later he was officially
pronounced dead.
Through mis- attorney, Schmidt had is.
sued a dying statement during the night
denying he had killed Anna Aumuller.
and asserting instead that she died
from the effects of an illegal opera
tion.
Declaring he charged bad faith TO no
one, Schmidt said his execution was
due TO weakness of the judicial sys
tem, and to the fact that ae had lied
originally in the ease. He added that
many men, including Police Lieutenant
Becker, who had been electrocuted.
were innocent of murder.

in today were the priests beads Schmidt
nad given him to be sent to his mother.
For the first time in the history OF
the death house, Father Clshin cele
brated mass after midnight before an
improvised altar so small that it could
be contained in a suitcase.
Two candles lighted the gloom Of
Schmidt s cell, while the crucifix and
cross, the only adornments of the al.

IS PAID BY
PRIEST FOR MURDER
OF HIS SWEETHEART

Ossining, n. Y, Feb. 1S.-Hans
Schmidt gave his life IN the electric
chair here at dawn today for the muir
der of his sweetheart, Anna Aumuller
He went to death as calmly as he
would have conducted religious services
in the days when he masqueraded as a
priest. His dying words were for his
old mother in Germany.
Down the dark chambers of the death
row sounded his good byes to 20 other
condemned men as he vanished out
through the "little green door" on his
last journey.
Father Cashin, prison chaplain, who
had prayed with him through the night
hours accompanied him to the chair.
Both the chaplain and the guards were
surprised at the condemned man IS
haste. Disregarding the usual measured
tread of the death march, Schmidt,
erect and unfaltering, hurried to tne
chair. He was calm and collected.
Suddenly as he reached the rubber
mat before the electric chair, he halted
abruptly and wheeled. Above his head.
he held the ebony and silver crucifix,
the symbol which in others DAYS he had
made a mockery.
He snapped aside the reaching arms
of the waiting guards, and rasped out
Zone minute, please; one minute un.
til | say my say"
The witnesses, in breathless expect.
lncy, leaned forward as the unfrocked
priest declared IN tones that rang sharp
and clear in the little room:
Pardon me. / beg forgiveness Of
all whom have offended, and all whom
| have scandalized. l forgive all who
have offended against me. Ny last
thought is for my mother.
"Plelse give my mother my last good
wish 1t is for her, II
my Lord ami my God, interrupt.
ed Father Cashin, and Schmidt quietly
repeated the final prayer.
