ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE
MADE BY ROWANMORE
Berlin Claims That Mem
bers Of, the Crew Owe
Their Lives to Care Shown
by Germans and Their
Skill in Firing.

Berlin, Nov. 16.-wireless)-Ass
tions that the German submarine
which sank the British ship Rowan
more. on which there were several
Americans, fired upon lifeboats con-
tanning the crew, are dismissed as
false in the report Of the submarine
commander. 1t said the members of
the Rowanmore's crew owed their lives
to precautions taken by the Germans
and their skill in firing. During the
Commute pursuit shots were fired at
the stern to limit danger to the crew,
which congregated at the bow.
The Rowanmore was hit 10 times,
the last shell disabling the propeller.
The submarine ceased firing immedi-
ately 1t was observed the Rowanmore
had decreased her speed and aban-
doned her effort to escape. No shots
were fired at the men in the boats.
The master of the Rowanmore at
tempted to Justify his attempt to
escape by the assertion that he de-
sired to gain time to launch boats, but
this pretcxt was not accepted. Later
the Rowanmore's captain was made
prisoner of war for attempting to
escape and for summoning assistance
by wireless, which speedily brought
up British destroyer. Thereupon the
Rowanmore was sunk by q torpedo.

PLAN FOR PATROL OF
BORDER FORMULATED
Change of Attitude on the
Part of the Mexican Mem
bers of the Joint Commits
sion-Arredondo Attends
the Conference.

Atlantic City, Nov. 16.-Unless new
and unexpected opposition develops.
members of the Mexican American
Joint commission believe an agreement
covering the withdrawal of the Ameri-
can punitive expedition and a method
of border control will be ready by the
end of the week for submission to the
two governments. Announcement that
an agreement was in ssight was made
by Ignacio Bonillas. one of the Mexi-
can representatives, at the close Of
a session.
The altered attitude of the Mexicans
indicated by the announcement de-
veloped at the second session yester-
day, although 1t was not attended by
Luis Cabrera, chairman of the Mexican
commission, who did not return from
Philadelphia until late last night. He
was accompanied here by Ambassador
Designate Arredondo and Mrs. Aired
ondo. No Significance seemed to be
attached to the coming of the ambas-
sador, since it has been known for
some time that he had planned to spend
brief holiday here shortly before
the adjournment OF the commission.
Although Mr.. Cabrera has not been
here since he manifested his opposi-
ton to the plan that was sanctioned
Monday by his colleagues, 1t is known
the other Mexicans were in telephone
communication with him yesterday. 1t
is not believed. however, that the unex-
pected development late Wednesday
was due to his counsel.
MIR. Bonillas denied last night that
Mr.. Cabrera had interfered with the
adoption of any plan, and sought to
imply the impression that the utmost
harmony prevailed among the Mexican
delegates.
Minor points are yet to be consider
ed, but such progress was made in the
session that the Americans as we'll as
the Mexicans appeared to believe there
remained little doubt that a settle
ment would be reached, perhaps by
Saturday night.

INCIDENT IN POWER
COUNTY rs CITED
Democrats Charge Attempt
Was Made to Canvass
Vote With Only Republi-
can Watchers Present
No Fraud in Washington
County Voting.

On behalf Of Governor
Alexander it is claimed that
his lead over D. W. Davis,
his opponent in the guberna-
torial race, is now 593.
No new claims are made at
Republican state headquar-
ters. Secretary Gregory
said this morning he had re-
ceived no new reports and
had no further statement to
make. He said no specific
steps looking to a contest
over the governorship, on
the basis of scratched bal
lots or any other, had been
taken.
The matter may be tested
on the basis of a contest that
may be instituted in Bonne-
vile county.
With all claims agreeing
that the governor is in the
lead on the official canvass
all the way from $50 to 593,
and that he will probably
maintain it, and with an APP
parently growing conviction
that any contest based on
the count Of scratched
straight ballots would prob
ably show no marked adj
vantage either way, indica-
tions are not wanting that
the proposed contest may be
abandoned, although there is
no admission on the Republi-
can side to that effect.
