turer -. ,s..s..,.

Chicago, April 21.-FFancis Bacon
was declared to be the author Of the
works Of William Shakespeare In a de-
cision rendered in an injunction today
by Judge Richard s. Tuthill, in the cir:
cult court. The decision dissolved an;
injunction issued on the petition Of
William N. selig. motion picture man.
ufacturer, to restrain George Fabyan,
publisher, and others from completing
publication Of books supporting the
Baconian theory.
The court held that the name
Shakespeare had been used simply as
q disguise.
Shakespeare unedueatsd
Judge Tuthill in his decision said:
That William Shakespeare was born
April q. 1854; that he went to London
about 1856 or 1857; that for time there
after he made his living working for
Burbage; that he later became an actor
IN Burbage's theatre and in travelling
theatrical companies; that he retired
about 1909 or 1910 to live in Stratford-on-
Avon, where he engaged in business to
the time of his death on April q. 1916. and
that Shakespeare was not an educated
man. are allegations which the court finds
true.
Bacon Highly Educated
THE court further finds that Francis
Bacon was born Jan. 26, 1860; that he was
educated not only in English, but in
French, Latin, Italian and German, and
had a general education equal to or SUI
perior to anyone of his age; that he was
the compiler Of a book Of 1860 axioms and
phrases selected from the greatest au-
thors and books Of all time; that in his
youth literary people were frowned upon
IN England, but in Paris literary people
were in the favor of the reigning powers
and literature was having a renaissance.
Bacon went to Paris in his early youth
and spent several years in this atmos.
phere.
The court takes judicial notice of
historical facts and facts we'll known
and finds that there has been for 90
years a controversy over the author
snip or certain works which were pub
ilshed shortly after the death Of
Shakespeare and attributed to Shake
speare, that the question has always
been an open question among scholars
or equal authority and standing in the
world OF letters literature and knowl-
edge as to the authorship Of the above
mentioned works, and that a vast bibli-
ography. estimated by those who are
in a position to know that 10000 vol
umes has been written in discussion Of
the vexed question.
"The court further finds that the
claim of the friends Of Francis Bacon
that he is author Of said works Of
Shakespeare. and the facts and circum-
stances in the real photography Of the
controversy over the question Of au-
thority and the proofs submitted herein
convince the court that Francis Bacon
is the author"
Mr.. Selig alleged that the publica-
ton of the book tending to prove that
Bacon wrote the Shakespeare plays
would injure him in his progress Of
making moving pictures of plays COM

Norfolk Vay Feb. Manned by German prize
crew, who captured her off the Canaries beyond the
West African coast the African liner Appam poked her
nose through light fog into Hampton Roads today
Given up for lost, either through laundering or tor
pedong, route from Africa to Liverpool the ship
brought in nearly 300 passengers and crew, in addition
to about 300 British prisoners put aboard from the Ger
man raiding merchantmen which captured her.
Her capture her flight past British patrols and her
sudden appearance here formed chapter in naval his
tory unparalleled since the days when freebooters and
pirates rode the Spanish Main.
Passengers told of encCuntering the German raider
January 15 and of bloody fight as the prize crew
scrambled aboard while panic stricken crew men from
the Appam vainly sought to flee; Captain Harrison
cOntradicted this saying that he surrendered at
upon realizing that his single three inch gun unmounted
could not cope with the raider.
This vessel, an armed merchantmen continued its
destructive work within sight of the Appam sinking an
Australian freghter meat laden, after the was
Subdued.
When the British prisoners had been taken on the
Appam and the 22 prize crew had been installed the
raider made off for fresh conquess while the Appam
headed for America, where Lieutenant Berg German
commander said he knew his reception would be cordial
Meanwhile, missing lifebOat from the Appam led to
foreign reports that she must have sunk
Officials surprised when she rammed her way
to anchorage through the fog after dawn today like
a ghost out of the ocean.
They at once cambered aboard to investigate this
strange situation
From passengers and officers then came the strange
story of how the African ship had euded the regular
lanes of patrol vessels hostile to the Germans Customs
Collector Hamilton heard too that the Appam had even
sunk at least two vessels en- route
Passengers told graphically of the overhaulng at the
Canaies of how the raider ratified few shots across
the Appam's bows, how the Appam scrambled into
lifebOat, hoping to escape bloody conflict as the
prize crew boarded the captive ship Captain Harrison
explained though that he had not offered resistance
The passengers story was that the feboat had
crashed to bits between the two vessels while shots rang
out overhead.
The identity of the raider remains mystery. Many
here think that she is the Will otheW Wisp reported re-
peatedy in the Gulf of Mexico after the escape of the
nterned German sailors from the Prinz Etel Friedrich
here Lieutenant Bergs announcement that he could get
decent treatment here led officials to believe he had
knowledge at first hand of the treatment accorded to the
Eite crew Only one day in port will be allowed to the
Appam unless she is in need of repairs.

METHODIST CHURCH
CONTROVERSY SETTLED
BY SUPREME COURT
Taylor Street Edi6ce May Be
Locked Up Says States
Highest Court

The first Methodist church contro-
versy of Portland and the suit of the
state superintendent against l.. o.
Ralston were the principal cases handed
down by the supreme court this morn
ing, The decision of Judge Gatens in
the circuit court was affirmed and the
decision of Judge r. G. Morrow in the
banking case was modified though the
main contentious were sustained.
The trouble in the church case arose
over the consolidation of the Grace
Methodist church at Twelfth street and
the First Methodist church at Third and
Taylor streets in 1912. After half a
century of separate congregations the
two bodies joined at the Ashland CON
ference four years ago and were con
solidated. Both congregations had
churches and for a while the congrega-
tlon held services at one church and
then were transferred back to the 9th
er. Each transfer found some of the
congregations of the original church
who refused to worship in the other
building. Finally the board of trus-
tees of the church decided to hold the
main services at the church on Twelfth
street and to close up the church at
Third and Taylor streets. A number of
the members of the ATirst Methodist
church brought suit to enioin the board
from closing up the Taylor street
church and in the lower court it was
decided against the plaintiffs and the
board was given the right to close up
the Taylor street church and the plain
tiffs appealed.
In an opinion Justice Harris held that
the lower court was not in error and
only modified the decisions of Judge
Gatens in that neither party should re.
cover costs in the supreme court.
Other Opinions Rendered.

War Orders Reopen
Many Textile Mills

Boston, Feb. l. The woolen and
worsted mills in New England are
thriving, according to the statistical
review of the Textile World Journal.
This condition is said to be representa-
tive of the entire country. Idle mills
were started, partly owing to war
orders and it is difficult to find mill
capable of manufacturing profitably
without extensive rebuilding, that has
not been leased or purchased and put in
operation. The American Woolen COM
pany has acquired another mill in
Maine besides making many i'm
portant improvements and increases in
its various plants. The United States
Worsted Company has largely re-
equipped and started up the Iroquois
Mills at Saugus, Mass, after an idleness
Of many years. The Bigelow- Hartford
Carpet company is bringing about

new mills at Thompspnville, Conn.,, and
at Clinton, Mass, and converting ma

Squadron Of Twenty Airships
ManeuVering Over Bel
GUM Every Day
LAST NIGHTS ATTACK
PRELIMINARY TO BIG One
New Giant FOkkers To Assist
In Raid and Fight English
Air Craft

London, Feb. IA squadron of 20
zepelins, some of them equipped with
silent motors, nave been maneuvering
over Belgium for several days, prepar-
ing for an unusually powerful drive
against London, according to Amster-
dam dispatches today.
Experts here believe that the raid
of a half dozen or more of the air
monsters against Midland, eastern and
northeastern counties of England last
night was merely an attack preliminary
to the larger operations.
The first announcement of tle war
Office suggested there had been no ap-
pIeciable damage, and no additional de-
tails were available today.
Appropos of the recent attacks
against England and tine prospect of
new raids, the Times warned that a
joint assault by number of Zeppelins
probably would have serious cOnse-
quences. At the same time, this paper
pointed out that the defense of the
city and country in general against
air attacks is imperfect.
Travellers reaching here today report
el that Belgians nave been excluded
from the territory in which the Yep
aeliu squadron is maneuvering, and
that dozen aesOplanes, presumably
the new giant Fokker type are assist
ing. These probably are intedned to
give battle against any English air
craft that might attack the dirigibles.

SUBMARINE IS SAFE
IS WIRELESS MESSAGE
One Of Vessels Seeking Miss
ing Craft Sights Her
Early This Morning

Washington, Feb. 1.-The submarine
k-5 is safe. Captain Simpson, of the
Sterrett, one of the vessels hunting for
the undersea vessel since she disap-
peared mysteriOusly from the flotilia
near Charleston, wirelessed the navy
department today that he had sighted
her at $3.50 a. m. today five miles east
of Fowey Rock, light house 10 miles
from Miami, Florida.
Simpson said she was heading south
ward at 10 knots an hour and needed
no assistance, At the rate sac was
making, she was due to reach Key
West today.
This message cleared away the last
doubt about the ship, after authorities
mad feared she had gone to the bottom
like the FL did at Honolulu.
How she happened to pass Charles
ton, where the remainder of the X boat
flotilla stopped, was not Immediately
explained.
