u. S. PREPARING TO
REOPEN U-BOAT ISSUE
Plans to Inquire Again Of Ger
many About Sussex Matter.

On the heels OF the demand upon
Austria Hungary for an apology and
reparation for the submarine attack
on the American steamer Petroiite,
the State Department is preparing to
reopen the U-boat controversy with
Germany by inquiring what punish
ment was meted out to the COM
mander of the boat that attacked
the channel liner Sussex.
An inquiry directed to the German
government informally, through Am
bassador Gerard several weeks ago
has brought no response.
II now is planned to make an Off
cial inquiry. since the State Depart
ment holds the issue over the Sus-
sex cannot be closed until Germany
adequately has nuNished the subma
rine commander.
The question OF indemnity then
will remain for settlement.

FINDS BROTHER IN
MAPLE GROVE GRAVE
Young Girl Devotion Clears
Up Mystery Surround
ing Young German.

Alone and apparently friendless, the
body of Pietro zemick, an employe on
construction work Of the Monongahela
railroad, was laid at rest in Maple
Grove cemetery this city, some eigh-
teen months ago. Yesterday a young
woman'of perhaps eighteen years visit
ed the city. obtained the help Of I'm
dertaker Musgrave & Sons, the grave
was opened and the body Of Puerto
Zemrich was identified as that OF her
brother, Andrew Penrod.
The body. splendidly preserved, was
readily recognized by the young girl,
a scar on the forehead making tden-
LITIGATION easy and certain. The young
woman returned to her home In Pitts
burgh last night and will make ar
rangements to have the body moved
there in the near future.
The manner III which Andrew Pen
rod, alias Pierto Zemrich, met his
death will be recalled by many, the
accident occurring on the Mononga-
hela tunnel near the city when a cave
in caused the serious injury of sever.
al workmen, and fatal injuries to Fem
rich. Following his death q married
sister, in Pittsburgh, was notified that
her brother, Pierto Zemrich, had been
killed. The fact that the mar had Civ
en- a name other than his " aus
ed his sister to discredit the message
and nothing was done and the body
was inferred a few days later by
Undertaken Musgrave & Sons.
The younger sister, however, wait
ed for two years for the appearance
Of her brother, who, after his honor
able discharge from the German army.
had visited the sister here in July
of 1914, leaving soon after so secure
work. He a never heard from
again.
Little by little the young woman
was able to put aside the money which
1t would cost her to make the investi-
cation. Last Sunday a stranger call
ed at the Penrod home On the North
side Pittsburgh, and said that the
brother, Peter, had died in Fairmont,
and had been buried here. With this
new incentive the younger sister,
Pauline, made the trip here result
ing in the finding Of the body. Just
why Penrod had changed his name
while working here is not known by
his associates here or his family. He

RESOLUTION IL WORTH SOME
CONSIDERATION ANYWAY

The follwing is the text OF Resolu-
tion being sent TO all the Oranges OF
the State by. the Oregon Voter. II
Oregon Voter raises the issue OF the
freak single tax bill TO be voted on
In November and is worth consider
ng by every voter:
WHEREAS the so-called Peoples
Land & Loan Law, il adopted by popu-
lar vote in November, would become
part OF the Constitution of Oregon,
and
WHEREAS, II would make all
farm-owners and home-owpers mere
tenants of the state. possessed OF
empty titles and burdened with the
obligation of paying each year the
full rental of their homes and lands
into the public treasury, and
WHEREAS, by its provisions for
leaning $500 cash without interest
for five years to anyone who with his
family has failed to accumulate prop
erty of the tota value of $2,25OO0,
it penalties thrift and puts premium
upon shiftlessness and extravaganza
at taxpayers expense. therefore be 1t
RESOLVED. that we urge our
membership and all other intelligent
citizens to give attention to the rev.
olutionary proposals of this radical
measure, so it may be voted down by
so large a majority that the promot-
ers of this single tax legislation may
he brought to realize the futility OF
encumbering the ballot with their vi
siopary but dangerous schemes at ey-
cry general election
