RELEASED
FROM Federal CUSTODY
U-Liner Now Free to Leave Port on
Homeward Voyage.

(By the International News Seryioa-)
New London, Conn, Nov. 2O.-The Ger
man submarine Deutschland is now free
to depart. 1t Is thought she may do SO
before many hours. Today her owners
deposited bonds tctaling sH.50O. These
amply cover the possible recovery that
may made against her as a result Of
the loss Of life and property arising out
of her collision with the tug T. A. Scott,
jr. Deputy United States Marshal Haw-
ley delivered the papers releasing the
ship from Federal custody.
Before Capt. Koenig could again take
over his command, Sheriff Tubbs ar
rived on the scene with four writs of at
tachment against the subsea craft. The
sheriff's tenure of possession was but
short-lived, as the lawyers completed the
filing of all the bonds in one session.
There are now $2l2, 900 damages claim
ed against the owners Of the Deutsch-
land in suits arising out of the collision.
After a conference lasting four hours
between c. H. Hull, attorney for the
plaintiffs and Charles w. Field, attor-
ney for the defendant, the amount of
bonds was agreed upon at $g7,0 900.
OF this amount sl2,5OO was for the Fed
eral libel suit brought by the T. A. Scott
Company for the loss Of the tug. The
remainder is to cover the suits for the
loss of life.
The latter are brought by the relatives
of Capt. John II. Quincy, Engineer WILL
lam A. Cation, Cook Clarence B. Dawson,
Fireman Edward A. Stone. alias Edward
Jackson, and Deckhand Eugene Duzant
All the complaints in these suits are
Identical, and all allege the Deutschland
was the overtaking ship and was being
navigated carelessly and .negligently.

warding Company, agents of the Deutsch-
land, would discuss any phase CT the

When the astounding increase in the

the insistent demand which Federal

GIynn Is the Keynoter.

In hall gay with flags and bunting
and with pictures Of party leaders,
past and present, looking down upon
them from medallions around the bal
cony, the delegates to the Democratic
national convention assembled on
scheduled time Wednesday. The pro-
ceedings were formally started when

national committee, assembled the plat
form and raped for order. He melted
the first burst of enthusiasm Of the
convention when, in a short address In
PRODUCING the temporary chairman, he
predicted victory for the party In the
fall.
The keynote speech was delivered
by former Gov. Martin Fl. Glynn of
New York, the temporary chairman.
He was frequently interrupted by APP
plauSe when some point in his speech
stirred the enthusiasm of the dele
gates. His eulogy OF President Wilson
started the biggest demonstration Of
the dag. Following Governor Glynn's
speech, committees on credentials, per-
manent organization, rules, and resolu-
tons were announced, and that days
work was done.
The delegates were a little slow in
assembling for Thursdays session, and
1t was almost noon when Temporary
Chairman Glynn called the convention
to order. Permanent Chairman Ollie
James was escorted to the chair and
introduced. He Immediately launched
into his address. He lauded the presi-
dent and defended his policies, partic-
ularly in regard to the controversy
with Germany over the submarine
warfare and our relations with
Mexico. An enthusiastic demonstra-
don greeted his praise of President
Wilson. which lasted more than twenty
minutes. AT the close of Chairman
James speech the convention took a
recess until nine o'clock In the eve
