SINN FEN SOCIETY
 MENACE TO BRITAIN
England Disturbed By Anti. Recruiting Campaign
 in Erin.

London, March 16.-The Post to- day publishes long article in regard to what it characterizes as the serious sltuatlon in Ireland on account of the Sim Fein society. It says:
 From motives of patriotism, Eng
 lSh newspapers hitherto have re- framed from commenting on the sit- uatlon in Ireland, but it is developing With such rapidity and extent that silence is no longer possible
 Through the south and west a viz orous organized campaign against re- cru1tlng is being carried out without serious h1ndrance. Within few weeks several persons have been in- dlced and tried in Dublin but in every case acquitted by the jury amid tu- multuous applause from those in the court room. All these trials took place before ordinary juries, and we await With 1mpatlence the time when the authorities will utilize their powers to have such cases tried before special juries or military tribunals.
 Tn Cork a committee recently aD- pointed to organize St. Patriclz's day celebrations was offered the usa Of several companies of Irish soldiers. but the committee refused to allow them to participate, stating in reply the British army is In hostile occlI- patton of Ireland, and it would be absurd for Belgians to invite a con- tingent from the German army to in a Belgian national cele- bration''

INSANE, LEFT HOME,
 DIED OF EXPOSURE
Woman Jumps From Window and Wanders in Snow Until She
 Becomes Exhausted.

New London March 16.-Miss Lena Cohen, aged about thirty, while suf- fering from mental trouble jumped out of her bedroom window, at 4O5 Williams street, at early hour this morning, clad only in a night gown. As soon as her absence was discovered relatives and policemen began a search for her. Shortly before ' o'clock her dead body was discovered in the snow at Riverside park about a mile from her home. Her death was due to exposure.
 When the news of the finding of the body was noised about several people went to the park and some of them in- sisted that the woman was not dead, and after being unable to get a physi- elan had the body removed to the Memorial hospital. The policeman on guard allowed the removal of the body as there was no suspicious circunl- stances, in order to remove trouble. Dr. H. M. Lee, medical examiner, de- clares that death had preceded the finding of the body by three Or four hours.

Seattle, Wash, March. 16.-An unconfirmed report that Dr. Walter Gellhorn, prominent physician of Seattle, who was taken from a steamer at Kirkwall while enroute to Germany to join the German Red Cross has been executed by the Brit ish military authorities was received today by friends of pr. Gellhorn here.
 pr. G. F. Warmburg, close friend of Dr. Gellhorn's, said that he had made repeated efforts to trace the re- port, but he would not disclose from what source he had received the in formation. Dr. Warmburg said that from the time of Dr. Gellhorn's i'm prisOnment, Dec. 9, he had received letters at frequent intervals until four weeks ago, since which time he has been unable to learn anything of the physicions, who left here Nov. 17 for Germany but was seized by the British authorities when the steamer upon which he was travelling put in at KirkWall.

Gellhorn and his friends asserted that he was going tc Germany to serve in the Red Cross, local British agents said they had evidence that he was d commissioned officer in the German army and was going to join his regiment It was also asserted by the same agents that the British had found in pr. Cell horns possession documents contain ing valuable military information. These statements were denied by pr. Gellhorn's friends.

Fabre Liner Not Warned by Sub- mersible, Captain Says
 U. s. CONSUL ON BOARD
OIncy Arnold of Providence, Reported Dead, Will File RepOrt-TOrpCdo Passes Within Few Feet of Pas senger Steamer in Mediterranean

New York, March 16.-While carry ing twenty Americans among her goo passengers, the Fabre liner Patria, a French steamer, was attacked with out warning by a submarine Ott the coast of Tunis, according to the story told by her captain upon the Patrla' arrival today A torpedo fired by the submersible, he said, passed tWen- ty feet astern of the liner
 When the Patria arrived some days later at Lisbon, Portugal, the Ameri- can vice consul, Ramon I. Janer, boarded the ship to conduct an in vestigation for the purpose of notify ing Washington of the circumstances of the attack.
 Capt. Dechelles of the Patria said that upon his return to Europe ne would apply to tho French govern ment for permission to arm his yes sel, on the ground that submarines in the Mediterranean would not, in his opinion, refrain from attacking mer- chant vessels without warning them.
 The Patria left Palermo on Feb. %. At o'clock the next morning, Capt. Dechelles said, periscope was ob- served above the water, and almost simultaneously a torpedo was seen ap-
  close that the revolving screw could be plainly noted and swept by twenty feet astern. Passengers on deck who saw the torpedo created a turmoil which attracted the steerage passen- gers to the rails, and the excitement subsided only after the periscope dis appeared and the ship sped away without being again subjected to at tack.
 ne Patria after landing at other ports carried nearly 2,OOO passea gers when she arrived here today.
 Counsel Arnold Will File Report
 Olney Arnold, of Providence, R. l., American consul general at Cairo, Egypt, was a passenger on the snip from Naples to Lisbon. He told Capt. Deschelles that he would forward a full report of the attack, to the United States government. It was news, how evcr to Capt. Deschelles that cable dcspatches have since reported that MT. Arnold, who was returning home, died at Lisbon the day after his ar rival.
 Information received by the state department was that he was on the verge of a nervous breakdown at the time of his departure from Cairo.
 The night before the submarine ap- peared Capt. Deschelles received the warning Be careful, submarine sighted about 100 miles from Cape De Guarde," by wireless from Algiers. He remained on the bridge all night.
 The captain said he did not person. ally see the submarine or the tOrpe do. but both were seen by his first of ficer and number of passengers. None of the American passengers saw the submarine. The Americans in the first cabin included Robert Norman of Baltimore. He said there was very little panic at the time.
