Fired Upon and Food Taken
by Submarine.

Washington, Feb. II. - Secretary
Lansing announced on Thursday that
he had sent to the Austro-Hungarian
government through Ambassador Pen
field dispatch asking for an investi-

that the ship was stopped in the Med
iterranean near Alexandria by an Aus
trian submarine, which fired upon it
and wounded one man who was in the
engine room. The submarine COM
mander asked for food, which Captain
Thompson of the Petrolite refused. A
boarding party was then sent to the
American ship and one American mem
Der of her crew removed. He was
held as hostage while the Austrians
took the food they required from the

Gigantic Conspiracy Is Disclosed by

Accomplish in the Poisoned Soup
Conspiracy.

Chicago, Feb. 15.-An anarchistic
plot that proposed veritable holo-
caust among churches, public institu-
lions and the clergy of the United
States was disclosed by the Chicago
police.
Among the effects of John Allegrini,
anarchist confdant of Jean Crones,
alleged poisoner of Archbishop Mum
delein's banquet soup, were found let
tiers that planned crimes that reduce
the widest dreams of Borgia and
make the poisoning of hundred BAN
quet guests mere detail
Already, according to Deputy Chief
Schuettler, incendiary fires, some de-
structive and some less successful,
have attacked more than fifty churches
in Chicago alone.
The existence of an anticlerical or
ganization of destroyer" is regarded
as certain by Chief Healey, Capt.
Nicholas Hunt of the detective bureau,
and Deputy Schuettler, who last night
completed the study of translations of
Allegrini's letters.
Allegrini has been formally arrested
and charged with conspiracy to COM
NIT murder. Previous to his formal
detention he was held in close confne-
ment after being taken into custody
on Saturday.
Allegrini and Crones were members
of a committee of fifteen who are di-

ton but for the discovery of the plot.
One ground plat found among the
Crones-Alegrini papers included a
sketch of the Union League club, the
federal building, and the Grace hotel.
The attempt to wreck st. Patrick
Roman Catholic church in New York
city recently is believed by Captain
Hunt to be part of the gigantic plot.

But some of the carefully worded

Several of the letters are extremely

WILL SINK ARMED VESSELS
Allies Given Time to Signify Inten-
tion Towards United States Dis
armament Proposition.

Washington, Feb. 12.-Germany and
Austria have notified the state depart
ment that after March / they will
consider all armed merchantmen as
warships and sink them without warn
ing.
Count Won Rernstorff German am
bassador, first delivered the notice to
the state department two days ago, it
was learned.
Baron Erich Zwiedinek, Austrian
charge, has notified Secretary Lansing
that Austria concurred in Germany 8
stand.
March 1 was fixed for the date for
the order to become effective to give
the entente allies time to signify their
intention toward the recent note of
the United States proposing the dis
armament of all merchantmen.
The United States recently proposed
to all the belligerents that the devel-
opment of submarine warfare had
made it desirable for all to agree that
merchant ships should be absolutely
unarmed, dismounting even the small
caliber guns which they have hereto
fore been permitted to carry for de-
Tense.
The memorandum went forward by
mail about two weeks ago, and no
replies were expected inside of six
weeks. The proposal was based on
the theory that no merchant ships OF
the Germanic powers and none of their
commerce destroyers, except subma-
rines, were at sea.
