Berlin, by wireless to the Associated
Press via Sayville, Nov. 16.-Asser-
tions that the German submarine which
sank the British ship Rowanmore, upon
which there were Americans, fired upon
lifeboats containing members of the
crew, are dismissed as utterly false in
the report of the commander of the
submarine, details Of which were made
today. In. fact it is said the men on
the Rowanmore owe their lives to the
precautions taken by the Germans and
the skill with which their operations
were carried out. During the twenty
minute pursuit Of the ship the subma-
rine's shots were aimed accurately
astern, to limit the danger to the crew
which was at the bow. The Rowan
more was hit ten times, the last shell
disabling the propeller.
The submarine ceased firing, the re-
port says, at once 1t was observed the
Rowanmore had slackened speed and
given up efforts to escape No shots
were fired at the men in the boats Just
before she stopped the ship hoisted a
signal, but it was impossible to read
from the submarine at that time about
1000 yards away. Later it was shown
that the signal was: II surrender"
The captain of the Rowanmore at
tempted to justify his attempt to es-
cape, the submarine commander re-
ports, by the assertion that he wanted
to gain time to launch life boats, but
this pretext was not accepted. Later the
Rowanmore's captain was made pri-
soner Of war for trying to escape and
for summoning assistance by wireless,
which brought up a British destroyer.
Thereupon the Rowanmore was sunk
by torpedo.

Albert v. Jones, Jake Weems, William
Mansfield, w. P. McCaull, and others
Despite the fact that the court room
was crowded to its capacity there was
scarcely movement in the audience
during Mr.. Mitchell's statement to the
jury. Before he had proceeded far the
perspiration was pouring from his face
Now and then in the course of his
statement Mr.. Mitchell would turn to-
ward Senator Jones and punctuate his
remarks with crashing blows with his
fist on the table in front Of him. The
senator appeared unmoved. While his
attorney was making the statement to
the jurors Wilkerson sat most Of the
time with his eyes riveted on Senator
Jones, paying slight attention, appar-
emily, to what was being said but
on the plaintiff.
While the selection Of jury did not
attract many spectators the afternoon
session Of court saw the room filled
until standing room was at premi-
um. Scattered thruout the audience
were a few women. Ross Moore, bro
ther Of the Moore, the murdered man,
and John Montgomery. father of Joe
Moore's murdered wife. were among
those in the court room. Albert Lee
Jones, son of Senator Jones, sat be-
side his father during the afternoon.
Judge Rockafellow, who is sitting in
the trial, has ordered that the jury be
kept together and that they be per-
mitted to see no newspapers
iWilkerson created commotion in
the court room just before adjourn
ment when he became involved in an
alteration with Attorney Beeson.
Beeson was eonversinE with County
Attorney Gillett directly in front Of the
bench when Wilkerson accused the
county attorney Of revealing to Beeson
what transpired in the grand jury room.
during the Mansfield investigation.
Beeson retorted that Wilkerson could
not dictate to whom he could speak.
The wrangle became so loud that the
court was compelled to intervene.
Clashes between attorneys were fire.
.quent during the afternoon.

BuRLEsoN TO KEEP POST.
Not Popular With Democrats, but vii
Probably Hold Place.

Washington. Nov. 16.--lt was stated
here that Postmaster General Burleson
probably would not give up his place.
Burleson has always regarded himself
as the master politician" Of the ad-
ministration. but many prominent
democrats held different opinion Of
him. fact, they have asserted that
-Burleson has been one Of the worst IL
abilities Of the democratic party.
However, Burleson stands close to
the president, and 1t Is doubtful II out
siders will be able to cause his resigna-
ton.
There was considerable talk in
Washington to the effect that congress
will be kept in session over the Christ
mas holidays. Chairman Fitzgerald Of
the house appropriations committee is
exceedingly anxious to have this done
on the ground that much work is to be
done this short session. However, It
is thought that when tho prospect OF
remaining away from home over the
holidays confronts the members Of the
house and senate they probably will
entertain different view Of the ureen-
cy of the work before congress.

BRITISH Ncte ron Blacklist Protest
PIeases English Press.
Amsterdam, via London. Nov. 16.--
The Cologne Gazette commenting on
the British reply to the American note
regarding blacklists, says:
everything remains as before. Eng
land is mistress 6f the seas ana who
ever wants to carry on commerce can
do so only with her permission. Is not
this navalism a thousand times more
complete and more oppressive, than
anything in German militarism-which
really does not exists supposed to
have been"
The Gazette especially attacks Wis.,
count Gray for mentioning submarine
warfare as a justification for British
predatory war.
I'VE are treating vessels" it says.
Exactly in accord with international
law. The fault, we think. then is
wholly with England. who has marked
nearly everything as contraband. The
American congress empowered the
president to take strong measures
against British encroachments, but
Gray appears to think that there is no
reason to fear that Mr.. Wilson will
make use OF the counter measures"
