The German merchant submarine
Deutschland passed out of the Virginia
capes at $3.50 p. m. last night, appar-
emily unobserved by the Allied war
ships waiting for her, and SO far as
as known here is now safely on her
homeward voyage.
No untoward incident marked the
departure of the giant submersible.
She was accompanied only by her tug
and newspaper dispatch boat when
she began an 1s-mile dash from lower
Chesapeake Bay to the capes.
After proceeding slowly most Of the
way down, she increased her power
at $3.50 and reached the capes just
after dusk. None of the Allied cruis-
ers was visible as she passed through,
Whether she submerged before she
reached the three-mile limit is un-
known The two accompanying boats
only know that she disappeared un-
harmed and that to all appearances
she had clear field ahead to point
where she could submerge in safety.

TheHghts were switched off. The
dancers ran screaming from the
place. Then the cracking of several
guns was heard. In the darkness
several men ran from the place and
jumped into autos.
When all was quiet again Frank
Hitchcock, part owner of the inn,
mastered enough courage to creep
back into the silent dance hall. By
the light of the match he saw the
body of Joe Hogerty beside an over
turned table, a slow-growing pool Of
blood was beneath him.
On the Chicago road Bud ConnOrs
was caught. He refused to shed
much light on the affair. He blamed
it all on Hogerty. Edward Berlin, a
pal of HOgerty, and Eugene Mccall,
chauffeur of the Hogerty party, were
caught also. They refused to talk.
Bob Gainey and two women COM
panions and the Dunne-Enright
crowd escaped.
Other versions of the killing were
given. One was to the effect that
Sol Van Praag, First ward politician
and pooIroom owner, and HogeTty
were on the "outs." Last Saturday
night a gambling fiat operated by
Hogerty at 22O4 State was Taided
and twelve men and one, woman ar
rested. Hogerty blamed Van Praag
for the "tip-off."
Last night, few hours before the
murder, Van Praag's cigar store in
the redight district, was. held up.
Jakey Wolfson, former partner of Ed
Weiss in redlight cafes, who is part

Der Of plans were submitted by per-

which leads to the conclusion that
there are a lot of level headed peo-
pie getting somewhere by good
management and definite plans of liv-
ing. A persual of these answers would
seem to justify the following conclu-
sions:
First, that the only method Of saw

living that provides for the various
expenses incidental to rearing a
family, such as rent, food, fuel and
light, clothing, recreation, educat; oL,
etc. No one gets anywhere in par

lie This is the reason SO many peo-
pie are living next door to poverty ali
the time. Any plan of life to be sue

amount as a minimum. The determi-

out and ready for the wood pile.
The Graphic has noted that the bust

TO keep on hand as large stock as
he can, who advertises efficiently to
"move' his stock rapidly, and who
keeps up an attractive window dis
