Inclined to Resentment,

Officials here, besides regarding the
visit of an unidentified British cruiser
into the lower Chesapeake at a time
when one German underwater liner is
about to start back to Germany and
another is reported about to arrive as
very unusual, are inclined to resent
such an incursion into American
waters. There is no doubt that if the
allied cruisers waiting for the Ger
man submersibles off the Virginia
capes made it a practice to come with
in the three-mile limit the question
would be taken up officially.
So far is known the incident at
Norfolk is the first since the beginning
of the war in which an allied cruiser
has come into an American port. Early
in the war, when British cruisers
hovered too close to New York
watching shipping. the United States
made representations and they were
ordered by their governments to stay
we'll outside the three mile limit
Soon afterward the British govern
ment ordered its ships in the Atlantic
patrol not to exercise the privilege of
coming into an American port once in
three months for fuel or supplies, and
directed them to take supplies entirely
fl ON their own bases in Bermuda and
at Halifax.

VISIT A MYSTERY

The German Merchant Submarine

NORFOLK, Va. July 2s-Nava1
circles hummed today with discussions
of the unannounced and unexpected
visit of an unidentified British cruiser
to the lower part of Chesapeake bay
yesterday, news of which becam
known last night after the warship
had returned to her patrol duty outside
the three-mile limit, where she awaits
the German submersibles Deutschland
and Bremen.
Opinions differed as to the purpose of
the visit. The most generally accepted
version was that the cruiser COM
mander believed the Deutschland was
moving down the bay, and hoped that
by entering American waters he would
be able to follow her out to sea, or
force her to anchor at some point just
inside the capes Regardless of
whether the commander had been able
to carry out either of these two sug-
gestions, it is pointed out. visual proof
that the submersible had reached the
lower bay would have proved invalu-
able to him and other officers of the
allied patrol

POLICE WIRE TAPER"
TRIES TO END HIS LIFE
John Kennel, New York Detective,
Shoots Himself After His
Test Fails.

NEW YORK, July 26.-John Kennel.
a detective attached to the wire
tapping" squad of the police depart
ment, attempted suicide today by
shooting himself through the breast in
the room used by the squad in a down
town office building. Kennel was a
witness in the John Doe inquiry
which has been investigating charges
that Catholic priests conspired to OBJ
struct justice during the recent in
vestigation into charitable institutions
and during which the police tapped the
wires to certain clergymen.
Kennel was taken to hospital in
a critical condition. He was one Of
the detectives who "listened in" on
the telephone wires of DR.. Daniel c.
Potter, Mgr. John J. Dunn. Robert w.
Hebbard and others involved in the
charges and recorded so-called phono-
grams of their conversations. Thurs
day last Kennel was put to test
before Justice Greenbaum, presiding
at the investigation, as TO his pro-
iciency in recording conversation.
Justice Greenbaum called the test a
failure, but announced that he would
give Kennel another opportunity to
prove his proficiency.
This test was to have been held toda y
or tomorrow. The detective had ex-
plained that he was nervous when the
first test was made. According to fell
low detectives "ho were with him to-
day in the wire-tapping room, Kennel
was again very nervous. and jumping to
his feet exclaimed "Oh, the failure of
this thing to go through, If it doesn't
it will drive me mad" He then went
behind the partition and a moment
later shot himself.
The original phonograms taken down
by Kennel were used as the basis of the
charges in the John Doe investigation.
