The United States inspector of steam
vessels. headed by Captain w. E.
Whitney, heard through witnesses of the
conditions under which the submarine,
slipping out of the harbor in the dark
ness so that she might submerge in
neutral waters before daybreak, ran
down the tug which was acting as her
protector off Race Rock, just outside
this port. The testimony came from
Captain Paul Koenig of the Deutsch-
land, from F. w. Krapohl, his chief Of
ficer. and from Hans Kleese, his chief
engineer. 1t was given in secret, but it
became known through statements out
side the chamber that the collision
was an accident
DUE TO SWIFT CURRENT
Advisors who would discuss the mat
ter agreed that it was due to the swift
currents which carried the tug off it's
course and cross the bow of the sub
marine and to the darkness, which was
to be the Deutschland's medium of
safety, but was instead prevented ready
observation of the danger ahead. Cap
tain Koenig would say only to question
ers
Its a terrible thing to lose those good
men | feel it deeply You must excuse
me-
Before the inspectors fix blame for the
loss of the Scott and his crew, they will
hear the testimony of Capt. Frederick

warding company, who was the only sur
vivor of the tug.

The Deutschland's return will be de-
layed only a few days by the damages
she sustained and not at all by the fact
that inquiry is being made. Examina-

tending to address the people with the
subject-what he thinks Of the recent
nominee, Hugh NJ Dorsey. The
Times Recorder could not exactly gain
an insight into the purpose of this pro
posed expedition
A statement issued today qualities
and retracts what was put in the mouth
q the governor several days ago, and
it seems that the greatest objection
Governor Harris has to find with things
in general is the endorsement of the
Neill bill by the Macon convention; by
Imith and through the majority faction
The Times-Recorder didn't think the
Neill bill--in the form it was presented
and passed, was the thing Georgia

so yet. It's folly to say that Dorsey
was nominated on the strength of tn,
Neill bill, and the blond orator from
Muscogee who made the rafters quak,

think that Georgia rallied to Dorsey
