lRepubIican A. P. Leased Wire1 SAN FRANCISCO, March 16.-Ar- suments were begun today before the United States circuit court of appeals in the actions brought by the Equit- able Trust company of New York, to force Judge William C. Van Fleet. of the United States district court. to order a sale of the bankrupt Western Pacific railroad, and to restrain him from naming as defendants in the foreclosure suit the Denver and Rio Grande railroad and the Missouri Pa, cific railroad. The hearing will be continued tomorrow.
 A charge that the Denver and Rio Grande railroad is behind the at tempt to force an immediate sale f the road and that it is trying to shield itself in this litigation. was made today by Garrett McEnerney, representing Judge Van Fleet, whose previous orders in Western Pacific i: litigation were made the ground work for the appeals argued today and who was cited to show cause why his orders should not be annulled On February q he ordered the Denver and Rio Grande and the Mis- souri Pacific to become defendants in the foreclosure suit brought a year ago by the Equitable Trust company which precipitated the receivership of the road
 The Denver and Rio Grande is masquerading in three forms in this litigation said McEnerney. Tt is shielding itself. The immediate sale of the Western Pacific and the pres ent plan of reorganization would in ure to it's benefit
 l should assume from circumstance eS that the foreclosure suit a year ago was arranged before it was filed. There is something Missionary in that guarantee of the Denver and Rio Grande made in 1905 to pay the in- terest. if necessary, on $50, ,000, 900 of flrst mortgage Western Pacific bonds and other agreements it entered into then and suddenly stopped perform ance of a year ago. permitting the road to go into receivership.
 The road should not be sold until the responsibilities of the Denver and Rio Grande are discovered and fixed" John F. Bowie, representing the re- organization committee of the West ern Pacific. answered that if the ob- lisations of the Denver and Rio Gran- de were enforced now, that road would he forced into receivershiD. He sail that the responsibilities of the Denver and Rio Grande could not be determined until the Western Pacific price had been learned, meaning the road sold He argued, too, that Judge
 Van Fleet had no right to force par
 ties to become defendants, or to con-
 struc the obligations of the Denver
 and Rio Grilnde unless asked-that

WASHINGTON, March 16-Only unofficial advices concerning the re- ported submarine attack on the liner Patria had reached the state depart ment tonight, but officials indicated that au investigation of the incident probably would be ordered tomorrow. The report said to have been for warded from Lisbon is supposed to be coming by mail
 Unless the identity of the submar- inc which sent the torpedo astern of the Patricia can be established, which seems unlikely as only a periscope is said to have been seen, it will be difficult for the American government to act. The embassies at Berlin and Vienna may be in structed to ask for Information, but unless Germany or Austria admits responsibility the case hardly will be regarded as warranting formal repre- sentations.
 Official information regarding the sinking of the Dutch steamer Tuban- tia off the coast of Holland also is lacking here
