DEPARTURE OF THE
U-BOAT WAS UNEXPECTED

New London, Conn, Nov. 17.-Al
though the Deutschland apparently
had been ready for her dash for some
days, her departure was rather unex-
pected. Her skipper, Paul Koenig,
spent the evening in his usual leis-
urely manner about the city. He
called at two hotels and shook hands
with friends. When asked about his
sailing, the captain merely smiled and
said he did not know.
After leaving theater the captain
strolled down the state pier, stopping
to converse with persons on the way
Meanwhile thorough preparations had
been made for leaving. The machin-
cry of the boat had been tested days
before and the craft was provisioned.
First of all the lights at the pier were
extinguished and the launch Efoo, of
the North German Lloyd liner WILLIE
had, scurried down the river to see
that the course was clear. Then the
steel net that had protected the en-
trance to the pocket was hauled up.
Farewells to the Willehad's crew were
said quickly. At / o'clock the tugs
Cassie and T. A. Scott, Jr.. Of the 7.
A. Scott Wrecking Company, steam
ed up to the pier. The pontoon, bear
ing a high fence that stood between
the Willehad and the dock was pulled
to one side and at 1870 o'clock the
Deutschland slipped silently down the
Thames.
The trip down the harbor was with
out incident and when last seen by
newspaper launch, the submersible
was ploughing through smooth sea
at the rate of II knots an hour, head
ed for Montauk Point The newspaper
launch returned here after following
the submarine several miles. At that
time the sea was smooth and the
moon, in its last quarter, cast its rays
over the water.
Failure of the tugs to return at an
early hour led to much speculation,
but it was believed that they would
accompany the submersible well be-
yond the three-mile limit.

W. H. Calierall Left Saturday for
Annual Convention

w. Fl. Catterall left Saturday for
Cleveland, O., to attend the American
Poultry associations convention as
delegate from the Oklahoma State
Poultry association. The state secre-
tary, Fred Atherton, is in receipt of a
request from the Mississippi Poultry
Breeders association. requesting the
Oklahoma delegate to take care Of
their interests at the national conven-
ton.
The conditions in poultry circles in
Oklahoma are exceedingly good AT
the national convention at San Fran
cisco last year the Oklahoma report
was held up as a model for the rest of
the convention and other states to fol
low. Our report was the fourth best
report of all the states including those
from Canada z said Mr.. Catterah, and
in one respect it was considered to be
at thetop as those who excelled us re-
ceived annual appropriations Of from
$4,000 to $25C,eo from their respective
state governments Hhile we receive
nothing from the state. County COM
missioners are authorized to make ap-
propriations in their districts.
"The conditions this year are fIatter-
ing. We are alive in membership and
better fixed in finances, numbers and
organization than Texas. Up to
short time ago Texas was unable to
send a delegate at its own expense
and was casting about for an out-of
state delegate to look after it's inter
ests The Oklahoma association is
paving my expenses"
Mr.. Catterall is considered one Of
tho largest poultry breeders in the
states. He has. $4,000 plant and raises

POLICE But
CONFESSED
Sensational Murder Case in Dallas Where
Criminal Eluded SIeulhs But Whose
Conscience Hurt Him

Dallas, Tex, Aug 7-Examination
OF the special venire Of 1870 men 70 SCI
cure a jury FOR the trial Of Houston
Wagner, confessed slayer Of Miss
Zoala Cramer, began here this morn
ing in criminal district court No, 2
There IS little doubt Of Wagners
fate, in case the authenticity Of a
written confession signed by him,
and now in possession Of the county
attorney. Is established to the satisfac-
tion Of the jury
Wagner's crime was one of the most
sensational in the annals of local Grim
inal history and his confession il the
solution Of mystery hich has baf'
fled solution by the police and sher-
IRIS departments for months
The body Of Miss zoala Cramer, a
young trained nurse. was found in the
entrance Of an alley on the morning
Of March %. She had been choked to
death, and suitcase which she car:
ried was open and the contents, wear
Isng apparel, scattered over the ground
The only clue which officers found
was cheap stick-pin. which had be-
come entangled in the young woman's
hair, as she battled for her life. No
arrests were made and the Dallas po-
lice force had about regaled the case
to the category OF unsolved murder
mysteries, when Wagner, arrested in
Mckinney, Texas, on another charge,
voluntarily confessed to the crime,
saying that his conscience would not
permit him to sleep at night. He said
in his confession that he intended to
rob Miss Cramer but when he seized
her suit case she fought him, and he
was forced to choke her to prevent
her screaming. The approach Of a
passer-by frightened him away, and
he did not know that he had killed the
woman until next morning, when he
read the papers.
\. +. Callaway and N G Golfer, ap-
pointed by Judge Crawford, are con-
ducting Wagners defense. It Is ex-.
pected that the confession will be Of
fered as evidence, and Wagner will
throw himself on the mercy Of the
court, and endeayor to secure a lite
sentence instead Of the death penalty.
