Inside this line between the strikers

were stationed in Il fire engine house
guarding the plants from attack, while
a few other policemen and seventy-fve

Consider Liability for Indemnity.


Much forethought was being given to
potential developments, such as that Ger
man undersea boats might be able to ex-
tend their operations to such an extent
as to effect practically blockade Of
American ports or that the allied pow
ers might decide to press harder their
claims that entry OF American ports be
denied all underwater craft of belliger-
ents Resting on determination Of this
nations attitude toward the work Of the
U-53 is the matter of asking indemnity
for American cargoes lost with the sunken
ships Only if the ships were sunk IL
legally may claims be entered.
The Navy Department is making ef-
forts to expedite the report Of Rear Ad-
miral knight on naval phases Of the
rel i'd, and the State Department is par
ticularly interested in the evidence TO
be presented concerning the subma-
riness arrangements for saving crews
and passengers of ships. That infor-
nation is being gathered from com
manders of the United States destroy
ers which picked up boats from the
victim vessels.
Secretary Daniels has denied the pup
lshed report that he had 'nforrnati"f
hat the British steamer Stephano was
fired on by the German submarine lbs
before all the passengers had lett the
vessel. THE Navy Department, said
the Secretary has not received any in
dfcatiou in any form that passengers
and crew were not all in lifeboats when
the Stephano was torpedoed.

Nav Be Mistaken for Knudsen.

The captain of one of the sunken
ships said that he had hailed a passing
vessel, which was later destroyed, and
understood her name to have been
given as Kingston. The Knudsen was
destroyed by the submarine in the same
vicinity.
The Navy Department today received
a report fl ON Rear Admiral knight, at
Newport, giving detailed accounts from
the commanders of four of the steam
ers sunk by a German submarine OH
the New England coast Navy of1lclais
refused to comment upon its contents
and it will be transmitted to Secretary
Lansing for study in connection with
the determination of the policy OF the
United States. The report was written
by Admiral knights aid. who TOOK
statements from the commanders OF
the sunken vessels.
Government officials today were pom
dering the question of whether the United
states shall recognize the raid of the
German war submarine U-o3 on allied
shipping off Nantucket last Sunday as
legal. The problem was considered OF
great importance, not only in its relation
to that particular raid. but because of the
probability that it will establish a prece-
dent affecting possible future submarine
forays of similar nature.

Financial Rewards Set Record.

The financial rewards this year ex-
ceed those of any of any previous
series. The Red Sox. feeling certain
of final success in today's game. con-
templated with satisfaction their
share in the S162,927.45, which Is the
players portion of the receipts OF the
first four games, after which their
participation in the gate money ends.
OF this amount 60 per cent, or S97,756,
win be turned over to the winning
team. Should this go to the Bostons
they will divide it probably on twen-
ty-five share basis, allowing S3,910.25
a share. Although twenty-siX Red
Sox players are eligible to play in the
series, not all will receive full shares.
and it is understood the players have
agreed on the division by twenty-fifths
with the idea of splitting up several
shares among lesser members of the
club, minor officials and employees.
Brooklyn, if il loses. will have $685.
169.9S to divide among twenty three
players. or about S2.S33.47 man.
But if the players were pleased with
the unprecedented reward the club owners
were even more satisfied with the fact
that the rival teams We're to play today

for the national commissions 10 per cent
the clubs received the entire receipts, as
they will in succeeding games if any are
necessary. The clubs already have added
S54,oo9 each to their Golfers, and with

All Boston turned out today. Hun
dreds made their way early to Braves
Field to obtain the best points of van
tage in the unreserved stands.
Car lines and trolleys were Jammed
with the throng that was goodnatured
and hopeful of the final victory for
the Boston boys. The sun shone bright
and warm and helped temper the
chilling wind that blew steadily over
the Charles river.
Manager Carrigan had Pennock and
Wyckoff out on the mound pitching to
the Boston batters, while Mails and
Appleton tossed them up to the Brook
iyn batters. Both Shore and Ruth took
part in the Boston's batting practice.
while Pfeffer and Smith. the two
Brooklyn pitchers, participated in the
batting practice for Brooklyn
1t was a last trench fight which the
Brooklyns prepared to make against
the, Red Sox. Three of the four games
already played had gone against them
by force of the Boston batsmen's s
strength or the sureness of the service

In the prevention of crime in the Dis

ther restriction on the sale OF firearms

th. Commissioners today.
l: is set forth in the report that many
cri.rss result from persons purchasing
revolvers and shooting others while still
III fit of passion.
The suggestion is made in the re-
port that law which would make II
necessary for every person to make
written application to dealer for
purchase of a firearm, and that de-
livery not be made for ten days to
thirty days, giving the police depart
ment time to inquire into the charac-
ter of the prospective purchaser ana CIV
ing time for the murderer to lose ms
bit of passion il he wishes to obtain the
revolver to harm any one, instead OF lor
the protection of his home.
The report says:
"a recent picture of every person pur-
chasing a firearm or other weapon should
he furnished the police department. and
legitimate owners of reyoverS would not
be harmed if a step further III the law
were taken and the name OF every person

The raid was the first attempted by
