FRED WHITNEY
 IS IGNORED BY
 ENGLISH BOARD
Institute of Inventors o1 Great Britain Gives Him
 Fellowship.

Fred Brown Whitney. general coun- sel and chairman of the board of di- rectors of the Lake Torpedo Boat Co. of this city. has had high European honors conferred upon him. through 21is invention of submarine boats.
 Word has been received in this city of his election to fellowship in the Institute of Inventors of England in which Hiram s. Maxim and Nicholas Tesla are vice presidents.
 The patent originally drafted in the offices of Mercer D. Blondell, Bridge port, an American patent attorney, specializing in the submarine art, was only recently granted Mr. Whitney in England.
 Though detailed drawings and specs ifications are not available in this city today it is known to be a radical in- vention covering an entire submarine boat. The British patent number is recorded as 20O0115 and includes among other things double hull, sea- going torpedo boat which is propelled by 8 new system.
 The Diesel engines are directly con- nected to dynamos which are located .amidships and at the lowest point in- side the hull. Electric motors are at- tached directly to the propeller shafts. The dynamos therefore generate the electrical current which actuates the motors, which in turn revolve the pro- ! pe1lef shafts for surface navigations.
 Vines submerged a storage battery furnishes the current to actuate the ] propeller motors.

 WILSON REPORT
 ON SUBMARINES
Presents Data on U-Boat Attacks, But Awaits
 Full Details.

Washington, Nov. 13-Secretary Lansing laid before President Wilson today information on recent subma- rine attacks on vessels carrying Americans but reported that sufficient evidence was not yet on hand on which to base action. He said no in- formation had been received from the Berlin government in response to an inquiry sent to the American embassy there during the sinking of the Ma rina when six American. lives were lost.
 While State Department officials consider the submarine situation as serious, no decision had been reached today as to whether Germany has vio- lated pledges, given to the American government after the attack on the channel steamer Sussex.
 All recent submarine activities in- cluding the raid of the U-53 off the New England coast areb cling consid- cred at the State Department to- gether in an effort to determine whether a new submarine policy has been adopted by Germany.
 No new developments of vital im- portance in the Mexican situation were reported to the President by Lansing. While it is understood Mexi- can relations are not in 8 satisfactory state from the viewpoint of the ad- the commission meeting at Atlantic City will be given a further opportunity to reach a con- clusion.

When he was treasurer of the old club 1t never paid the rent or any, thing else. was at that time presi. dent, as I took charge of the club and made 1t pay. So you see something was wrong.
 "He loafed around several months and where was he getting the money to live on? He hung around seyera, months and then he sponged on tho lodge for sick benefits. He left town to go to the Soldiers Home and the next we knew of him he was over In Long Island working. That Is his record. I leave it to you to- judge what kind of man he is.''
 Desilets said this speech was intend ed to impute dishonesty on the3part of the plaintiff. He claims to have been injured in character, credit and repu- tation. Property on Carroll avenue belonging to Bowen has been at. tached. Bowen intends to fight the case. "t

OFFICIAL PAPERS !. FROM BERLIN ARE
 REPORTED STOLEN
Embassy Here Thinks That
 Graves, Alleged Black mailer, Has Them.

Washington, Nov. 13-The German embassy has reason to believe that a number of highly confidential off, cial despatches, at present missing. were in the packet. from which Karl Armgaard Graves extracted letters he is charged with having used in an al- legged attempt to obtain 5000. from Countess Won Bernstorff. wife of the German ambassador.
 The nature of the despatches is un- known. The German government has. been sent all available informa- ton regarding the packets contents and investigation, it is expected, will Immediately be made in Berlin with a view of ascertaining what, if any, se- cret papers are missing. as well as the identity of the messenger from whom Graves secured the letters.
 It was made clear today that Prince Hatzfeldt, counsellor of the embassy, through whom Graves att tempted to get the s3,00o, may testify against him but would prefer hot to-. If his testimony is deemed essential to the prosecution of Graves, permis- sion for him to appear in court will be asked of Emperor William.
 It was learned today that the pack ct from which Graves obtained the letters addressed to Countess Von Bernstorff had been officially settled by the German foreign office. The letters which have so far been seen by embassy officials are dated early in September, It is presumed that they were started on their way to the United States from. Berlin between the 10th and 18th of that month.
 All details of the story told by Graves last night in New York were ridiculed today at the German em- bassy.
